Summer lingers on…

Filed under: General — erinm01 @ 9:57 am

Just when it seemed as if this summer couldn’t get any longer or hotter, we find ourselves excitedly peering into a new school year.  Whether you’re sending someone to Messiah for the first time, attending Messiah as a first-year student, or have become a well-seasoned veteran along the years, the opportunity to meet new people and have great experiences is just around the corner. 

Messiah is full of opportunities.  Students can always appreciate serving and participating in mission trips, taking on new enhanced academic programs, as well as becoming an important part of a club or organization here on campus.  Many of these opportunities and thrilling chances for students to grow would not be possible without the help of the Student Impact Fund.  In addition, the SIF assists in providing scholarships and financial aid to students, funds technology to give our students the best tools to work with, and supports faculty/student research partnerships.  Without these generous gifts from alumni, parents, and other friends of Messiah, the majority of these opportunities would not be possible to maintain.

So, as the summer cools off and slides into the crisp autumn; simply keep in mind what many of our opportunities are supported by: the Student Impact Fund. Hard work and support from parents, friends and alumni alike is not taken for granted and is greatly appreciated, especially as we think about where we will go throughout this next school year.
