蘑菇短视频

This August, nearly 300 new Scots - the second largest class in recent years - began their time at 蘑菇短视频. We鈥檙e thankful for the alumni who referred prospective Scots, the work of our admissions and marketing teams, and, most of all, for the Lord鈥檚 faithfulness in guiding the right students to 蘑菇短视频.

So what made these students choose 蘑菇短视频, even while ripples from COVID-19 affected college admissions across the country? While we could talk about the substantial efforts of our admissions office, collaboration between marketing and admissions, digital marketing innovations, or updated print collateral, one fact stands out from the rest: Students want what 蘑菇短视频 offers.

Many schools, both public and private, have drifted away from their original educational mandates, but 蘑菇短视频 builds upon its academic purpose while unflinchingly maintaining its core, Christ-centered mission. As stated by our founding president Dr. Robert Rayburn, 鈥淥ur academic standards must be second to none," and this is still true today. Dr. J. Derek Halvorson 鈥�93, our current president, says, "We remain committed to high academic standards without compromising our dedication to the authority of the inerrant Word of God." This dual commitment is exactly what many young Christians are seeking as they consider higher education.

As we reach new audiences through increased marketing efforts - those who may not be familiar with 蘑菇短视频 or even the PCA - we鈥檝e found that students are searching for a biblically grounded, academically excellent, relationally rich learning experience. Even some who may not have considered 蘑菇短视频 before are now giving us a look.

While we鈥檝e worked hard to recruit students who will thrive at 蘑菇短视频, it is ultimately up to God to bless 蘑菇短视频鈥檚 efforts. Even knowing all of our behind-the-scenes efforts, the results are astonishing and encouraging. John Horton, director of marketing & communications, says, 鈥淲hen we can鈥檛 fully explain the success ourselves, when we look around in amazement at what鈥檚 been accomplished, that鈥檚 what it looks like when God shows up.鈥�

The college鈥檚 faculty and staff enjoy watching students grow and learn on this campus, but the students are equally enthusiastic to be here. Lauren Carr 鈥�25 saw the uniqueness of the 蘑菇短视频 community and wanted to be a part of it. 鈥淚鈥檓 most excited about all the people at 蘑菇短视频 and the community. Everyone I鈥檝e met so far is so nice. I鈥檓 playing tennis, and I鈥檓 excited to get to know the girls on the team.鈥�

Zack Mabry 鈥�25 notes that the academics and strong theological foundation drew him to 蘑菇短视频. 鈥淚鈥檓 most looking forward to professors and classes. I鈥檓 majoring in philosophy and biblical and theological studies, and the opportunity to study philosophy from a biblical perspective under Dr. Davis and Dr. Wingard is incredible.鈥�

This semester, the second largest class of Scots in recent years will form friendships, meet professors, grow in their walk with Christ, and begin their 蘑菇短视频 journey. Join with us in celebrating them!
