CAMPUS NEWS
MLK Jr. Day Through the efforts of former Waldorf choir director and Immanuel Lutheran Church of Forest City’s current Director of Worship Ben Allaway, and Waldorf University, the Forest City and Waldorf communities were able to meet and immerse themselves in the stories and wisdom from Rev. Dr. Albert Paul Brinson. Rev. Dr. Brinson was an icon of the early civil rights movement, growing up as a close friend and “brother” of Martin Luther King, Jr., often referring to Martin Luther King, Sr., as his surrogate father. He was one of the original organizers of the Atlanta Student Movement that began in March 1960, and along with Andrew Young and Rev. Ralph Abernathy, Rev. Dr. Brinson organized the famous Selma to Montgomery March. It was an incredible and moving day with such an important individual on Waldorf’s campus, and we were humbled to hear and be inspired by his stories.

ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP
We care about our students and want to ensure that a Waldorf University education remains affordable for all who come to campus. Because of this, Waldorf has created a Waldorf Alumni Scholarship worth $13,500! If you know a high school student who would be a great future member of the Waldorf family on our residential campus, please fill out the Waldorf Alumni Scholarship form (waldorf.edu/alumnischolarship) with their basic contact information, and our admissions team will follow up with them. We firmly believe that our alumni, who have sat in these seats and walked these halls, know Waldorf best. With that in mind, we also believe that you, as alumni, will have a much greater grasp on individuals who would be the best fit for Waldorf University. Feel free to reach out to these students to share your Waldorf story and to mention this scholarship! We're so excited to welcome future Warriors, and who better to help find future Waldorf alumni than those who already fill the role so well?
