    udallas.edu 2019-20 Bulletin 2019-20 ON THE COVER: Madie Grace Hoelscher, BA ’19, uses a visual language to create meditative pieces focused on color and shape. Primary colors carry what she considers life’s most important aspects, especially for connection: red connotes love, yellow prayer, and blue death. “Trypan Blue” deals with the raw nature of death, the title referencing a vital slide stain used in biology to visualize the number of dead cells in a sample, highlighting the distinction between life and death. The lines signify humanity in relation to the sublime — and in this case, the connection to those we have lost.

  • FALL COMMENCEMENT 2020 CELEBRATING the GRADUATING CLASS So Enter That Daily Thou Mayest Grow in Knowledge Wisdom and Love
    FALL COMMENCEMENT 2020 CELEBRATING THE GRADUATING CLASS So enter that daily thou mayest grow in knowledge wisdom and love. To the Class of 2020, Congratulations on your graduation from Ohio University! You are one of the fortunate who has experienced the nation’s best transformative learning experience. This year has not been what any of us had planned, as the COVID-19 global pandemic changed all of our lives. I want to thank you for boldly responding to these historic changes by continuing to learn together, work together and support one another. You have shown great resilience as you navigated the many challenges of 2020 and I am very proud of you. Your class is truly special and will always be remembered at Ohio University for your spirit and fortitude. Your time at Ohio University prepared you for your future, and now you and your classmates are beginning your careers, advancing in new academic programs or taking on other challenges. I want you to know, though, that your transformation is not yet complete. For a true education does not stop with a diploma; it continues throughout every day of your life. I encourage you to take the lessons you have learned at Ohio University and expand upon them in the years to come. As you have already learned, the OHIO alumni network is a vast enterprise – accomplished in their respectable professions, loyal to their alma mater, and always willing to help a fellow Bobcat land that next job or find an apartment/realtor in a new city. I urge you to seek out your nearest alumni chapter or a special interest society of alumni and friends, to reach out through social media (#ohioalumni), and to stay connected to Ohio University.

This publication is a special one. It commemorates the University’s 40th Anniversary of educating working professionals in an intellectually stimulating, innovative, Christian environment. Amberton University has a rich heritage. The principles of inspiration, integrity, creativity, and boldness combined to provide the cornerstone of its foundation. When the University began in 1971, few colleges and universities had programs designed for the adult student and even fewer made the adult student their primary focus. Early on, Amberton University realized that adult students have unique education needs often not met by traditional institutions. The University’s research showed that the adult learner requires relevant, challenging, application-oriented programs delivered in a convenient, flexible way without disruption of family and work responsibilities.
