LONDIS, PRESIDENT

s a three-month-old college president, I have heard many things about Atlantic Union College A directly and indirectly from the constituents of the Atlantic Union. Colleges look very different when you are "inside" them on a day-by-day basis. Most of us judge a campus by what we hear on the grapevine or what we see during a short visit. Others go by "reputation" or "image," two very elusive bases for evaluating a college. In this brief message, I want to share with you what I have heard and compare and contrast it with what I now know to be fact.

HEARD FACT

"AUC is too expensive. Tuition is $10,600 per year. Other living costs may vary, but approxi- It costs $18,000 per year." mately $4,000 should cover them. AUC is extremely generous with financial aid.

"AUC's cultural diversity While there are always some tensions when students from culturally produces tension on campus." different backgrounds come together in the intimate setting of a cam- pus, the AUC community is committed to proving that in Jesus Christ unity can prosper even in diversity. Many students of various colors will testify to the blessing and enrichment of being on such a campus.

"AUC is too liberal." Much of the time, the accusation that a place is too "liberal" refers to a waning spirituality or a laxness on enforcing church standards. While young adults will always challenge the values and standards of their elders, the casual campus observer should not be misled. Our campus cares deeply about spirituality and religious commitment as Seventh- day Adventists.

"AUC is too isolated." Only an hour's drive from Boston and a half hour's drive from Worces- ter, AUC is close to many of the finest educational and cultural institu- tions in the United States. Furthermore, the college is exploring estab- lishing links with other schools that will allow our students to take courses on their campuses.

"AUC is not a safe place AUC maintains dormitory curfews and all-night security. Any inci- for students." dent that is reported to the college is acted on swiftly and decisively.

"AUC will close in the While AUC—along with a number of SDA colleges—has suffered an near future." enrollment decline this past year, the campus is optimistic about the future. Planning is now going on that includes new programs, in- creased curriculum flexibility and a strengthening of student services for both traditional students and adult learners. AUC intends to be a leader for the future under God's blessing and with your support.
