ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Magazine Forward in Faithfulness
As we celebrate ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½â€™s 85th anniversary, we honor two visionaries whose foresight and commitment continue to shape and inspire our community: Ruth Kerr and Wallace Emerson. Kerr helped found the college and supported it financially. Emerson served as the first president of ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ and implemented his vision for an academically excellent Christian liberal arts college.
Overcoming numerous challenges throughout the decades, ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ has become the nationally recognized liberal arts college Emerson imagined. The college prepares students to live out their faith in a variety of professions worldwide, as Kerr desired. ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ has attracted widespread support from faithful donors who’ve continued Kerr’s legacy and commitment to providing affordable education.
Every new ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ generation expects to honor the legacy of these founders by pursuing the greater good and investing their lives in purposes that will outlive them as they move forward in faithfulness.
