AN EVENING OF RECOGNITIONS: NOv. 1


Join us for an Evening of Recognitions and celebration as we gather back together on campus (or, if you prefer, via livestream). We are pleased to recognize these beloved faculty members and our distinguished alums on Monday, November 1, 2021.

    • 5:30 - 6:00 PM CT: RECEPTION AND DISTINGUISHED ALUM EVENT
    • 6:00 - 6:30 PM CT: LIGHT DINNER
      • Due to the ongoing impact of COVID, we will not have a reception as planned, but instead we will provide boxed lunches from Cafe Latte. We encourage you to select a lunch and find a place that is socially distanced for eating. Please return to the chapel by 6:30 PM for the Nelson Room Dedication.

    • 6:30 - 7:15 PM CT: REV. DR. JAMES B. NELSON ROOM DEDICATION
      • As a teacher, Jim pioneered new avenues of thinking and ethics. Jim’s early voice around human sexuality, in particular, shaped and prodded the church in significant ways that are still known and celebrated. We will dedicate our largest classroom in his name.
      • If you have a Jim memory that you want to share, feel free to send it to Cind​i Beth Johnson. We will collect them and share them with others.
