The fifty-first annual Bash-Whisler Bible reading contest overshot expectations on a number of counts. We had the largest entry in several years, and all six of the students who won awards were first-time contestants. Two of the three finalists were freshmen, which means the future looks bright! This year’s semi-finalists were Lars Coburn, Brandon McGinnis…
My first semester at NCU has been one of the best experiences of my life. Before attending I was asked to be the newest member of Virtue, and it has been a challenging and worth-while experience. I’m thankful to have the opportunity to worship and travel with a group of people that has the same…
It’s that time of year! … wait, don’t get the wrong idea. I don’t mean the time of year when everyone spends all their money shopping, when gifts are given to every “good” child, nor that time of year when the electric bill doubles because of all the newly placed lights around the house. I…
NCU’s newly-minted History Club commemorated the sesquicentennial Eugene’s founding on October 17, 1862 with its first off-campus adventure. Ten students and two faculty members began the celebration by participating in the dedication of the new public art installation at the entry to the University District, the Giant Blue Herron.

Several students, their families, faculty, and staff rose early on Saturday for the event aimed at raising money for NCU’s mission teams. The Beacon Run…
Just days after, many of the volunteers are still recovering from the buzz and excitement of having completed yet another successful Golf Classic for NCU. It was an honor and a gift to serve as the 2012 Tournament Director – what a pleasure to work with so many great NCU staff and volunteers whose commitment…
How did you spend the summer months? Whipping up lattes and mochas as a barista for Starbucks? Taking kids to the park while working as a nanny? Or maybe you were one of the few that returned to school with a golden tan, a byproduct of standing watch over the swimmers of your local pool….
Perspective. A few miles south of campus stands Spencer Butte. Visible from practically any building on campus, Spencer Butte looms 2055 feet high and is a distinctive part of the Eugene landscape, yet most students go to and fro everyday minding their own business without ever noticing the large precipice that dominates the city skyline….
