“Students are more than a number at Messiah. Our class sizes allow for great professor-student interaction.”

When you first come to Messiah, this is one of the first things most prospective students hear. Little did you know that by the time your college experience came to its end, you would understand exactly what those admissions counselors and student diplomats were talking about! Faculty at Messiah are much more than mere educators who walk in and out of your life. They become friends for a lifetime.

As Thanksgiving grows nearer, remember those professors who most impacted you. Share with us who they were and what ways he/she helped to shape your future.

As the Centennial year dawns, the Messiah College Department of Theatre will be gathering short story submissions from members of the Messiah family. We hope to collect personal narratives from community members with experiences they’d like to share, from their time at Messiah College and beyond - especially stories of forgiveness, reconciliation, and grace. Material from selected stories will be used to inspire an original theatre production to be performed as part of the Centennial homecoming festivities; all contributed stories will also become part of the Messiah College Archives. Please note that by contributing a story, the sender is giving Messiah College permission to reprint it.

We want to hear your stories! Please submit stories of 500 words by commenting below or by emailing centennialstories@messiah.edu.

Please include your name, phone number, and email with your submission.

We know that many people developed lifelong friendships while they were students at Messiah College. Some even met their spouse here.
