Alumni Appreciation

Come cheer on our Sunbird basketball teams and hang out with other alumni!

We are starting a new tradition by inviting all alumni to "orange out" the Special Events Center—everyone is encouraged to wear orange in support of our Sunbird teams. Contact your former classmates...dorm-mates...teammates...collegium-mates, and encourage them to meet you there. We will have prize drawings and an alumni hospitality room full of food, fellowship and fun.

Living for Christ in the city

A different kind of integration

When I was in fourth grade my society integrated: five black students were bussed to my school to blend seamlessly with 500 white kids.

To make our new classmates comfortable, the whole school gathered outside to welcome them. Our principal made a speech. Shy by nature, I remember thinking that if I were one of those kids I’d get back on the bus.
