One of the most significant parts of my education was the opportunity to attend events where authors read from their work. When I first started college, literature seemed to exist in the past; all of the people I studied about in classes were dead or far away, and my only connection with them was through…
In July, I had the opportunity to travel to Orlando, Florida to attend the North American Christian Convention (NACC). Now, let me remind you what I just said; Florida in July. The combination of those two things means that the trip was going to be very hot and humid. I am proud to live in…
George McDonald once said, “Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best; God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it.” This summer I had the opportunity to tour across the Northwest with my band, ER. This was…
On September 29th, Northwest Christian University’s office of Residence Life and Alumni Association held the 2nd annual Beacon Run, a 2.5 mile run/walk around the Willamette River near downtown Eugene. 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.

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….
As a kid I remember the excitement in preparing for a new school year. The purchase of a new pair of shoes (or two!), a new back pack, and dare I show my age by saying, a new Trapper Keeper. And though I no longer feel excitement over a bottle of Elmer’s glue or a…
Not me! I’m not necessarily new to NCU. I hold two degrees from the University, and I was on staff for nine years prior to moving to the Portland area in 2009. Now, I’m back! And I’m excited to share with you the new career development things I’ve been working on this summer. You’ve probably…
Being a camp representative for Northwest Christian University over the summer was never seen as a heavy burden to me. I viewed the position of NCU Camp Rep as an opportunity to encourage youth to pursue their Christian walk in a community filled with a future of ministry opportunities. (Of course, you can’t forget the…
