As its name suggests, The Bridge connects alumni, parents and donors with ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. It also serves to build the University’s image with these audiences. It does this by publishing accurate news about the University and about alumni and by offering interesting feature articles that are issue- or University-related for readers’ continued education. ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ accepts news submissions from alumni and the broader community but reserves the right to edit or decline to print materials at its discretion.
ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ is a Christian university of the liberal and applied arts and sciences. The University is committed to an embracing evangelical spirit rooted in the Anabaptist, Pietist and Wesleyan traditions of the Christian Church. Our mission is to educate men and women toward maturity of intellect, character and Christian faith in preparation for lives of service, leadership, and reconciliation in church and society.
ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, disability and national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic or other University-administered programs.
