Why I chose my College:	Though I received my undergraduate at another institution, when I was at the point in life where I wanted to complete my master’s degree, I chose MVNU. A friend of mine, Wally Brandenburg, had completed his Master’s degree here and recommended it because he was impressed on how everyone had accepted him and that the class Spiritual Formation was life changing. He was right, attending MVNU was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Every time I drove on campus for a class, I felt happier about my future, myself as a person and my walk with God! The students and faculty at MVNU are the best. MVNU’s mission is the motto of my heart, “to seek to learn, is to seek to serve.” I’m proud to be a part of an alumni tradition that is out making a difference in the world for the Kingdom of God.
