Something to Think About - from Don Hastings
When I was a student at Trevecca, there was a program on the radio sponsored by a local company—a funeral home, I believe—called “Something to Think About.” I always listened because of the catchy title, so today, I thought I’d borrow it myself.
Something to Think About:
- Among the “50 Most Affordable Christian Colleges in the U.S.,” Trevecca Nazarene University was recently listed as #13. (Full list here.)
- Trevecca is ranked #15 among the fastest growing universities with doctoral programs. It’s nice when others recognize Trevecca’s attempt to make it affordable while also being academically strong.
- As alumni, all of us know that there is value at Trevecca that cannot be quantified.
- This year, Trevecca has set new enrollment records for both incoming freshmen and total traditional undergraduate students. (More here.)
- Parents will sacrifice, save money, and be inconvenienced to send their elementary children to a faith-based school through high school, but get this…
- 96% of evangelical Christians never think about sending their children to a Christian university.
Wait, what?
Does #6 seem as astonishing to you as it does to me? I'd say it's definitely something to think about.
“Children are a gift from the Lord;
They are a reward from Him.”
Psalm 127:3-4
May all who come behind us find us faithful.
