A MESSAGE FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR 2021–2022 STUDENT DEVELOPMENT Welcome University Life I am thrilled to welcome you to the campus of Olivet WALTER “WOODY” WEBB Nazarene University!

We hope you are as excited as we are about the beginning of the new school year. The coming months are sure to be filled with opportunities for you to meet new friends, try Handbook different activities, learn new truths and change in ways you never would have expected. One thing is for sure: A year from now, you won’t be the same person as you are at this moment!

I hope you will take advantage of the various opportunities available to you for spiritual, academic and personal growth. Decide now to get involved so that you can experience college life to the fullest.

We in Student Development would love to join you in this journey. We believe in the value of every person and exist to cultivate the full potential of our students. We serve you by providing high quality programs, services and learning experiences that focus on holistic development.

Some of the ways in which we serve you are through a genuine and caring residential life staff, counseling services, health services, intramurals, intercollegiate athletics, community life and spiritual development. Please don’t hesitate to ask for our support and guidance as you make your way through these college years.

My prayer is that you will find a sense of belonging and purpose in the activities and ministries you choose at Olivet. Through the events of the coming year, may you grow closer to the people around you and the God who loves you. o
