Before coming to CCU: I graduated from a Christian university and loved my experience. It provided a great foundation for me to integrate my faith into my career. I have served in various enrollment management positions at universities over the past 25 years, and encouraging students to pursue Christian higher education is a significant part of my calling. Where a student attends college can change the trajectory of their lives. The CCU Admissions Team is committed to providing a welcoming and personalized admissions experience that reflects the love of Christ, honors students’ stories, and supports their dreams to grow intellectually, spiritually, and professionally.
