Dizzie Hus, ‘20 B.A. in Global Studies During her time at Multnomah, Dizzie Hus learned how to incorporate her love of nature and her academic calling by earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Global Studies with a concentration in Sustainability. Notably, Dizzie used her passions to establish the MU community garden! The garden has provided an abundance of fresh veggies and a beautiful and healing space for the MU family to grow together. As Dizzie put it, the Global Studies program is a perfect fit for “ministry-minded people who see the value in and have a deep appreciation for creation.”

We 10
We Believe. These two words bind us together. At Multnomah University, We Believe in you, made in God’s image, ready to do extraordinary things. By faith, We Believe. These words have the power to unite nations and congregations...the power to renew your mind. We Believe college should be fun, campus should be cozy and coffee should be caffeinated. We Believe professors should know your name and walk with you. It’s about “we” not “me.” We Believe in God, maker of heaven and earth, who teaches that how we live matters, and what we say makes a difference. We Believe this is the moment to step up. Multnomah University. We Believe.
