For me, “higher education” means not only to aspire to the next level of training, it also means to aspire for what is greater than ourselves. Could there be a better way to do so than to integrate faith and learning? And could there be a better place to do so than in a community of like-minded artists, scholars, and students? It is here, through God’s grace and love, where education becomes truly possible.
The thing Peter enjoys most about AU “is the camaraderie and fellowship of people with a shared purpose.” Peter is also the Director of the Center for Learning and Teaching Excellence.
