  • On the Ranch with Professor Bovee!🐴

We got a taste of ranch life as we joined Tammy Bovee, Assistant Professor of Kinesiology, on her homestead! With friendly animals, fresh apple trees, and sunny skies, our visit to Ricochet Ranch made for a great summer adventure.

  • Today, we pause to remember the legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Dr. King’s sermons, teachings, and life continue to inspire us to pursue love, justice, and faith in our everyday lives and within our community.

“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” - Micah 6:8
