The university lost a strong supporter January 4 with the death of Art McDonald.
McDonald, 58, was a member of the FPU foundation board since 1994, and contributor to many projects. He and his wife, Barbara, served as co-chairs of the Building Our Community capital campaign and were instrumental in the building of McDonald Hall, the administration, office and classroom building that bears their name.

After completing his bachelor's degree, Bryan is now a graduate student in the leadership and organizational studies (LEAD) program and a full-time FPU staff member working as registrar's systems coordinator. He chose the LEAD program over attending seminary because of its broad scope and his desire to work in leadership in his church denomination. As both an undergraduate student and a graduate student, Bryan received a music scholarship.
Music major, secondary teaching and performance/composition emphases
With future plans that include being an elementary, junior high or high school music teacher, a college music professor and also a symphony or philharmonic musician, Krista Moore is currently a student in the FPU teacher credential program.

On a drive one sunny day my not-yet-wife thought it would be fun to give me the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, a popular personality assessment based on the theories of psychology pioneer Carl Jung. She read me the questions and sorted me by the categories introversion/extroversion (I/E), sensing/intuition (S/N), thinking/feeling (T/F) and judgment/perception (J/P). I’m an INTJ: Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, Judging.
