  • PROGRAM HANDBOOK a Letter from the Director
    2019–2020 GO! PROGRAM HANDBOOK A Letter from the Director The College at Mid-America’s (CAMA) heartbeat is to connect the classroom to the community. Reaching people for Christ was the basis upon which the school was founded, and this passion motivates the president, the faculty, the curriculum, and even the chapel programs. Your presence at The College at Mid-America indicates that you share this motivation. The GO! Program exists to provide CAMA students with the opportunity to fulfill the mission of the school through community service. The GO! Program is the demonstration of what the student learns in the classroom. Students are expected to fulfill the biblical command to love their neighbor and thus are required to serve in community service sites and report on the work completed. By serving the community, the student connects the classroom to the practical aspects of community service and enhances his/her preparation to serve in the local church or in the business world. If you have questions about the GO! Program or if you encounter situations with which you need advice or assistance, please call me or my assistant, Ms. Mary Hale, at 901-751-3079. It is a joy to serve you. In Christ, Mikey Mewborn, PhD Director of the GO! Program 1 GO! Program Requirements The GO! Program involves two specific opportunities and responsibilities for CAMA students: serving at a GO! Program Site and attending report hour/chapel. No academic credit is given for the GO! Program requirements, but failure to satisfy either requirement will result in extra fees (see “The Relationship of the GO! Program to Exemption Fees” on page 3) or academic status (see “The Relationship of the GO! Program to Chapel and Report Hour Attendance).
