  • Staff Spotlight: Paul Wright! 💡

We took a moment to say hello to Paul Wright ‘01, Director of Student Programs! As a part of our Student Life team, Paul provides leadership for several student development areas, such as student activities, parent relations, student government (ASBU), Intramurals, and much more! 

We greatly appreciate Paul and all he does to enhance our Bushnell University community. Thank you, Paul!

  • Bushnell University alumni are fostering wisdom at Eugene Christian School! 
 
Eugene Christian School (ECS), a private, non-denominational Christian school in the Eugene-Springfield area, is home to a dozen teachers, instructional assistants, and coordinators who all graduated from Bushnell. As alumni of Bushnell University, these educators – along with those others currently at @ecs_eugene – are purposeful in demonstrating and promoting wisdom to those in their care, for God’s glory. They remind us that we can live intentionally each day by putting God first in all things. Great job, educators! 
 
We love seeing our University alumni fostering wisdom in future generations.

  • Last week we had an incredible event called “Faithful Engagement” focused on navigating anxiety in a polarized election. Some takeaways included:
 
“I really appreciated what Dr. Beck said about being the place where nobody can be mean to them here. Then in the panel session I just appreciated the global perspective Dr. Agam brings to the table.” – Bushnell Student

“Faithful Engagement event was timely and immediately practical. I couldn't stop taking notes. Thank you, Bushnell University!" – Local Pastor

 “Thanks for bringing Dr. Richard Beck to remind us to give our anxiety to God so we can be light and leaven in our broken world - a non-anxious presence like Jesus.” – Bushnell Faculty
 
Bushnell’s mission is to explore wisdom, centered on faith in Jesus Christ, leading to lives of service. The “Faithful Engagement” event is part of our ongoing Becoming Beloved Community efforts to explore biblical perspectives on important issues like racial reconciliation and this year politics.
