Before you move onto the Anderson University campus, you plan a course for your first academic year. You sit down with one of our faculty advisors, and you start your story. My own Anderson University story started in the 1970s. I came with a single focus — myself. What happened during the next four years transformed my life. My vision broadened as I aligned the focus of my life with God’s expectations for me: To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8). Each academic program offered in this catalog was designed by a remarkable group of faculty who bring exceptional skills and knowledge to the classroom. Each course is a building block that fulfills our mission to educate students for lives of faith and service in the church and society. By choosing a liberal arts institution, you see value in developing not only as a professional but also as a person. Our faculty and staff are committed to mentoring you and sharing in those experiences with you as well, beginning friendships that will last long past graduation. The Anderson University community is based on the core values of integrity, excellence, servant leadership, responsibility, and generosity. We hope you will be able to experience those core values in every aspect of your life at AU. I encourage you to be open to God’s leading in your life at Anderson University, for He knows the plans He has for you! We look forward to journeying with you. John S.
