GIVING THANKS “The Apostle Paul urges us to give thanks ‘always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ’” says WWU President John McVay quoting from Ephesians 5:20, ESV. “Such thanksgiving is rooted in reflecting on the past, recalling blessings and challenges. As we at Walla Walla University have reviewed the quinquennium just past, 2011–2016, it has indeed cued thanksgiving to God. “You have read here record of initiatives to further strengthen the excellent spiritual and academic mission of Walla Walla University,” says McVay. “God’s blessings, though, have outstripped our efforts, diligent as they have been. He has taken our little and made much of it. We invite you to join us in giving thanks to God from Whom all blessings flow.”
THIS ENDOWED FUND
was created by Robert and Susan Smith to provide scholarship funds for students who are the first person in their family to attend college.
