Duane and Becky Andrews and Promod and Dorcas Haque


How does a university like 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 even begin to raise $180 million? In addition to plenty of prayer and planning, it takes a whole lot of help from our friends. Thats where the campaign cabinet comes in. This team of committed and well-connected volunteers many of them alumni, parents and longtime supporters has offered insight and direction on the campaigns rollout, and has worked to share 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s vision with others who have the means and desire to support the university.

Here, the cabinets co-chairs Duane and Becky Andrews and Promod and Dorcas Haque explain why theyve volunteered to provide leadership to the cabinet and what most excites them about the campaign.

Why do you support the mission of 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023?

HAQUES: We like the fact that 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 is built on the biblical foundation and has not deviated from this for over a century of its existence. Students graduating from 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 understand this biblical foundation and are thoroughly grounded in the accompanying truth.

What is it about 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 that sets it apart from other universities?

ANDREWSES: There are many great universities, but in our opinion, 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 is the best at providing biblically centered education that is firmly rooted in Gods Word and prepares students to be competent leaders and professionals in each students respective field of study.

HAQUES: 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 has stayed true to the fundamental tenets of the Christian faith and has not strayed away, as have many other universities that started like 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 but have lost their way and become secular in their thinking.

Which campaign project particularly excites you?

HAQUES: We are particularly excited about the Center for Science, Technology and Health. We believe that a major focus in the technology area has to be the discipline of applied computer science. It is important for all 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 graduates to take applied computer courses and be computer literate, as this will differentiate them in the marketplace and equip them to get better jobs and excel at them.

ANDREWSES: Were also excited about 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s vision for the sciences. 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 is well poised to lead the discussion that God and science do not contradict each other, but rather, as Eric Metaxas in the Wall Street Journal, science increasingly makes the case for God. We look forward to 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 wanting to equip students to be leaders in the sciences with a distinct Christian worldview. Becky, being an RN, is particularly excited about 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s vision for the science programs development. Technology is also an important part of many future careers across many fields, so this is an important addition to 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s programs.

How has 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 personally equipped you to be a person of greater courage and conviction?

ANDREWSES: 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 has had a personal impact on us throughout the years as alumni, parents of alumni, and also as campaign cabinet members and as part of the Board of Trustees. 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 prepared us for our professions, gave us confidence, helped shape our character and mind, and had a significant impact in our spiritual development. It provided many opportunities for growth from classroom experiences, chapels and personal interactions with many professors and students. We would not be where we are today without 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s influence in our lives.
