I am grateful to have witnessed the rebirth of the program as well as the completion of the beautiful facility that enables us to deliver a high-quality education to our students. I am gratified as well that the interest in international service remains strong among our Simpson nursing students. Our nursing students have served in Mexico and, as is noted in this edition of Transform, a team of nursing students will soon travel to India to serve with Project India Compassion Trust. The ministry in India was founded by former Simpson science chair Dr. Solomon Raju and his family. His son, Dr. Solomon Darwin, now heads the ministry. The visiting team from CCNE could not say enough good things about the School of Nursing and Kristie Stephens’ leadership as its dean. The team went to clinical sites to solicit feedback on how Simpson’s nursing students fared in the field, and the message was consistent: Simpson nursing students were the best prepared of any students the sites had supervised, and the Simpson students demonstrated more sensitivity to less fortunate patients and those of other cultures than other students. Competent and compassionate – it doesn’t get any better than that! I want to thank you for supporting the School of Nursing through your prayers and gifts. You have enabled a legacy of healing and caring service that will continue to impact the world for Christ in the years ahead. Please continue to pray with us for gifts to establish a maintenance endowment for the Science and Nursing Building and for the complete retirement of the construction costs. Grace, peace and joy be yours in abundance through Christ Jesus our Lord. simpsonu.edu / 1-888-9-SIMPSON 3 STUDENT FOCUS Katelyn Davis & Jeremy Wildoner Bachelor of Science in Nursing atelyn Davis and Jeremy Wildoner are students in Simpson University’s Kfour-year bachelor of science in nursing program. Katelyn, a junior from Salem, Ore., realized she wanted to become a labor and delivery nurse after witnessing her first live birth. Jeremy, a senior from Sonora, hopes to one day use his nursing education to be part of medical missions to underprivileged patients. Both Katelyn and Jeremy transferred to Simpson in 2012 to be a part of the university’s up-and-coming School of Nursing. Katelyn transferred from Corban University in Salem, Ore., where she was majoring in health science. “I decided to attend Simpson because I was searching for a Christian school that had a nursing program,” she said. “It wasn’t too far away and supplied me with the academic and spiritual aspects I was looking for.” Jeremy transferred from Columbia Community College. He holds associate degrees in Allied Health and liberal arts. “The maturing nursing program here was, of course, the chief reason for attending; however, I also decided to attend Simpson because of its strong dedication to God and His word over the years,” he said. “The school is a community with genuine faith that is fostered very much by the leadership and faculty of the school.” Katelyn and Jeremy both faced challenges in coming to Simpson. For Katelyn, being away from home has been a struggle. “This was my first time being away from my family for an extended period of time, so that was an adjustment and still is,” she said. “I am a complete homebody, so living in a different state has been an eye-opening experience.” At first, Jeremy was unsure if he would be able to attend Simpson because of finances. But he received grants and scholarships, including Simpson’s Gateway and academic achievement scholarships, which have allowed him to pursue his bachelor’s degree. 4 TRANSFORM Spring/Summer 2015 “I am over-the-moon apprecIatIve for these donors.” — Katelyn davIs, nursIng student “When I was younger, I never thought that I would attend a private Christian college because of the financial cost,” he said. “And yet, with the help of scholarships from donors, I have been blessed to be able to attend Simpson University. Thank you so much. Your giving is immensely appreciated.” Both Jeremy and Katelyn enjoy the personal connection they share with their professors. While at Simpson, Jeremy’s spiritual life has been positively impacted by professors from the School of Nursing and the Division of Theology and Ministry. “In both my Bible classes and nursing classes, I have been greatly encouraged by discussions with my professors about learning, life, and living out our faith,” he said. “I value their spiritual leadership so much as they have helped me grow in both knowledge and faith.” Katelyn’s time has also been influenced by the nursing professors. “The comfortable connection with professors has made my experience at Simpson so worthwhile,” she said. “I know at other colleges I would lack that connection. I am very grateful for this aspect here at Simpson.” In spite of the rigors of the nursing program, Katelyn and Jeremy have been able to participate in other school activities. Katelyn has been involved in intramurals and the Spirit Squad, and she enjoys attending campus sporting events. She also served as a transfer coach, helping new transfer students adjust to life at Simpson. In the summer of 2014, Jeremy went on a mission trip to Mexicali, Mexico, with other Simpson nursing students. He and his team spent their time setting up medical clinics and cared and prayed for the people who came to see them. As members of the nursing program, Katelyn and Jeremy get to use the new Science and Nursing Building, which was dedicated in October 2014. Both are grateful for the real-life experience they are gaining that will help them and future students in their nursing careers. “This new building is such a great facility for us to study in, and with new simulation labs our learning is even more practical and meaningful,” said Jeremy. Katelyn said she is grateful for the role donors played in the completion of the building. “The Science and Nursing Building wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for generous donations,” she said. “I am over-the-moon appreciative for these donors.” — By Elise Wilson ‘08 / Photos by Jessica Law Thank you for your gifts to the Science and Nursing Building and to the Scholarship Fund so students like Jeremy and Katelyn can pursue their dreams of serving and caring for others through nursing careers.

She is invested in student outcomes and patient-centered care. “Caring and faith are integral aspects of what we do,” she said. “Nursing is a deeply caring activity which includes the cultural, ethical, and spiritual aspects of all mankind. Caring is at the core of nursing.” Stephens learned about the open dean position while she was an assistant professor of nursing at Simpson. The former dean of the School of Nursing encouraged her to apply. Stephens started her role of dean on July 1, 2014. As dean, Stephens oversees approximately 23 staff and faculty members.

    Welcome Welcome to Warner Pacific University! The 2020-2021 academic year will be undertaken during a period of unprecedented times. In spite of the uncertainty of this pandemic that will affect higher education institutions across the nation, Warner Pacific University will remain flexible, dutiful, watchful and continuous in our following the great grace upon our institution that has sustained it since its founding in 1937. As Warner Pacific University’s newly appointed 8th President, I am confident that we will continue to move forward into a very bright future while building upon the foundation of the past 12 years under the wonderful leadership of President Andrea Cook. My leadership team and I will continue to emphasize and value Warner Pacific University’s standing as a vibrant, progressive university located within the beautiful city of Portland, Oregon. Warner Pacific University is and will remain a Christ-centered urban liberal arts university dedicated to providing students from diverse backgrounds an education that prepares them to engage actively in a constantly changing world. Over recent years, we have come to better understand our mission statement and how it applies to the unique setting of our campus. We seek to educate students who welcome the learning that comes with living in an increasingly diverse and thriving urban environment. Still further, the institution will continue to be guided by its foundational principles and evolution within the past 12 years as a dynamic, progressive institution while maintaining values that embraces its tradition, yet remains open to embrace the particular trajectory we are called to fulfill. To this end, I wish to reiterate and underscore President Andrea Cook’s words from excerpted from the 2019-2020 Catalog: “Four core themes run through our mission statement and guide the holistic educational process at Warner Pacific University.

  • What We Believe: Our Identity and Values
    What We Believe Our Identity and Values in Community God First Since 1899 Table of Contents Mission Statement 3 Statement of Faith 4 Motto 7 Four Cornerstones 8 Statement of Academic Freedom 10 Essence Statement 14 Identity Statements 18 Mission Statement Today at Azusa Pacific University, we work together as a team of difference makers to advance the work of God in the world through scholarship, teaching, and building disciples across all levels and delivery systems of collegiate education. When Azusa Pacific was founded in 1899 in a simple home in Whittier, California, as the Training School for Christian Workers, that modest beginning came with the bold resolve of homeowner Philena B. Hadley and others to forge an educational enterprise that would impact the world for Christ. This foundational understanding of our common purpose finds expression in the Mission Statement as established in 1990 under the leadership of Interim President Ted Engstrom and President Richard Felix, who had just begun his tenure. The Board of Trustees has adopted the following statement of mission and purpose for Azusa Pacific University: “Azusa Pacific University is an evangelical Christian community of disciples and scholars who seek to advance the work of God in the world through academic excellence in liberal arts and professional programs of higher education that encourage students to develop a Christian perspective of truth and life.” 2 3 As an educational institution with a Wesleyan tradition at its core, it seems natural to us to embrace a statement of faith that is common among many Christian traditions. APU’s Statement of Faith first appeared in 1900, introduced by Philena Hadley and Mary Hill as “History and Spirit.” It was revisited and clarified in 1956, under President C.P.
