• How does a 126 year old small Christian liberal arts university become 1 of only 4 schools in the world offering pre-K through doctoral programs & the only Christian institution in that category while achieving largest freshman class in 42 years?
• Why does a president who writes to campus every Friday believe retention is everyone's job from cafeteria workers to coaches & how does knowing students' names literally keep students enrolled & in some cases alive?
• What does the longer the perspective the better the decision mean for combating society's default to quit when life gets hard & how can higher education teach perseverance that transfers to jobs, marriages & life beyond the transfer portal culture?
