PRESIDENT’S PEN
A
s 2024 dawns, we are anticipating that God will do amazing things in and through North Greenville University during the new year. 2023 was a year of new beginnings with the launch of our new College of Allied Health and the work to transform Donnan Administration Building into a stunning, contemporary home for our College of Business and Entrepreneurship. Those achievements are outstanding, but they were eclipsed by the graduation, at spring and fall Commencements, of 449 NGU students – individuals who have been challenged and equipped to become transformational leaders.
NGU is in the construction business, whether it is constructing new academic units, renovating historic campus landmarks, or building up the skillsets for our students. We are blessed to witness these construction efforts. Like the pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem in the days of Solomon, we sing praise to God because we know, as they declared, “Unless the Lord builds a house, its builders labor over it in vain.” The truth of Psalm 127:1 is a core conviction we embrace physically and spiritually on our Tigerville campus today … as a physical building is wholly transformed, and individually lives are transformed by the work of the Holy Spirit through mentors and professors.
In this magazine you will find stories about our Donnan/COBE
Project, along with news of facility upgrades that have happened over the past half-dozen years. You will see news of new senior administrators, and updates on missions work. You also will find other reports on the goodness of God, demonstrated in the lives of our graduates who are serving as transformational leaders in ways none of us could have scripted. God is at work in boundless ways through the outpost He built and blessed … and is building and blessing … in the Upstate of South Carolina.
Like those sojourning Israelites, we can declare that our work is useless unless God guides it. And if it is under His direction, it will be for His glory and our good. It will be for Kingdom Impact. Whether it is bringing the Gospel to people who live in the inner city, freely giving what we can to help heal others, learning from our
life experiences to serve and lead effectively, or providing resources that maximize preparation for God- honoring careers, all of what we do should be part of the ongoing story of transformation.
I encourage you to pray for the students who will experience God’s construction work in their lives throughout the year as we pursue an unwavering Christ-centered mission to equip transformational leaders for church and society. I encourage you, also, to come back to campus during the new year. Great things are happening in Tigerville. Come back for Chapel, a ball game, or simply to visit campus. You will be glad you did.
Dr. Gene C. Fant, Jr. President
