Extending our reach
Community makes academics work at FPU
Once students at the institution that would be Fresno Pacific University all ate together, and anyone who didn’t show could expect friends to swing by the dorm to see what was up.
That’s what they called community—a force that’s a lot more than good feeling at FPU. It’s the heart of our academic, professional and ethical development. Community is the faculty member who guides a student to graduate school.
