Q: What is the most rewarding part of your job?<\/p>\n

A: I like people and getting to be with people, especially with students in this time in their life and all is just fun. \u2026 To an old geezer sitting on this side of things, it’s thrilling. I can’t believe the possibilities that are out there. I do remember well enough that that is terrifying, but it is thrilling too. \u2026 It’s all out in front of y’all and I get to be a part of that. People actually care what I have to say about some of those things as they are working their way through those challenges.<\/p>\n

Q: What’s your main goal for this year as well as your main goal for the presidency?<\/p>\n

A: To be thoroughly Christian as a school, to be academically excellent and to be affordable to everybody. \u2026 When I look down the road, there is not a program in the horizon that is going to define me. It is much more a continued mission that will define me. Now, are there new and exciting ways to engage that mission? Yes, there are, but at the core of my presidency is what I call the core mission, which is that we are, at our core, a Christian university.<\/p>\n
