FREE fly trip to Grand Canyon University

Grand Canyon University (GCU), a Christian University in Phoenix, Arizona, is sponsoring a fly trip for admissible Seniors April 19-20, 2013.  Students will fly out of Portland, and all expenses (airfare, food, lodging, etc) are paid by GCU.  In order to be eligible for this trip, students must complete GCU's application, meet GCU admissions requirements, and get parent waivers signed and turned in to me before noon this Friday.  If you need any assistance with the application, or if you have questions, please come see me ASAP.  This is a GREAT opportunity to get a feel for the campus and see if it's a good fit for you.

Hesston College at WMS this Thursday AFTER SCHOOL

Hesston College Admissions will be available in the Student Center right after school this Thursday, March 21st,  to answer admissions questions for all interested WMS students.  Jason Oyer, who graduated from WMS last year, is also going to be coming to share about his experiences this past year at Hesston.  If you would like more information about Hesston, stop by the Student Center right after school this Thursday :)

Corban University Admissions Lunch

Please sign up before noon on Monday, March 18th if you would like to attend Corban's lunch information session on Tuesday, March 19th in the Student Center at WMS.  Lunch will be provided for those who sign up in advance.

 

Corban University is here to “Educate Christians to make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ” through incredible academic opportunities and tightly-knit, Christ-centered community.

As a four year, private, Christian university in Salem, OR, Corban U. has become a “diamond in the rough” for Christian students and families across the nation.

This has prompted US News & World Report to recently name Corban U. a “Top Ten Best” college in the West for the 11th year in a row.

Even beyond the classroom – from the professors, travel, internships, athletics, music, events, to the spiritual growth and campus life – all aspects of Corban U. provide unending open doors of joy, glorifying the Lord, and individually achieving one’s highest potential.

Highlights from Northwest Christian University

For those who were unable to make it to the presentation yesterday at lunch, here are some points that I found interesting:

• They have a "church fair" during orientation to help students get connected to a local church (some of these churches have shuttles, but there is also very good public transportation in Eugene)
• Students live on campus until they are 21, so the older students can mentor the younger ones.
• NCU students have full access to UO library so the research resources are rich.
• Their MINIMUM requirements for admission are 2.5 GPA and 850 on the SAT (reading/math)
• Students who do a formal visit get an automatic $500 scholarship, and once a student applies, their admissions rep helps them through the financial aid and scholarship application process personally.

For more information, WMS students can contact Kassia Galick at 541-684-7334 or kgalick@nwcu.edu

Each major incorporates hands-on opportunities in and out of the classroom, giving our student access to experts and real world experience.  With a plethora of opportunities to get involved, our 550 Traditional Undergraduates participate in student leadership, on-campus work study, ministry opportunities, speech & debate, athletics and renowned music programs.
