WHEN IT CAME TIME TO MAKE A COLLEGE DECISION, MY MOM SAT WITH ME AT THE KITCHEN COUNTER AND ASKED WHAT KIND OF PERSON I WANTED TO BECOME. In that moment, my choice became clear. I embarked on my journey at Eastern University because of the academic excellence, the breathtaking campus, and environment of discipleship. Where else would you find professors who ask hard questions, challenge you intellectually, and pray for you? Through the work of these incredible professors and engaging community, I have been challenged to think, live, and love well. I am a better person for attending Eastern.

“We need a movement of Christians who are awake and paying attention—who are reading the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other, wrestling with what it means to follow Jesus in today’s world.”
