A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT

For 124 years, Huntington University has offered rigorous academic programs and robust co-curricular activities that support a mission of Christ, scholarship and service. Throughout the decades, we have added programs, created new faculty and staff positions and imagined creative spaces with new buildings and special features. The University has grown from a single building (now known as Becker Hall) to 18 buildings on the main campus, a 30,000-squarefoot building in Arizona, and a multi-level facility in Fort Wayne.

Students can now pursue bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate level programs. They can mix and match online and face-to-face course deliveries, study programs in different locations, and participate in 18 athletic programs.

In 1 Corinthians 3:10, Paul writes, “According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.”

Since 1897, each generation of Foresters has built upon a foundation of excellence for the next generation. Many times, that process has included a refining of academic majors, researching new teaching methods and innovative technologies and adding new labs and equipment to better prepare students for emerging careers and exciting new ministry fields.

The stories in this edition earmark foundational strengths of Huntington University — ones that continue to be refined for the glory of God. In Isaiah 28:16, God reminds us of the importance of honoring foundation: “Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, ‘Behold, I am the one who has laid as a foundation in Zion, a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation.’”

May Jesus always be our sure foundation and the greatest influencer of all things Huntington!
