Summer Registration

Starting today, you can now register for the courses you want to take this summer.  See our course listing online and be on the lookout for an article on the highlights of summer courses later this week.

I Need YOUR Voice!

I need your voice! As the seminary student representative on North Park University’s presidential search, it is crucial for me to know your voice and opinions as we make a crucial decision for our university. What characteristics do you hope the next president will have? Are there major challenges or opportunities you hope the next president will address, and therefore experiences that you hope that person has? (For example, do you want them to have experience in multiethnic communities? What types of jobs should they have had in the past?)

Please send your feedback to Mackenzie Mahon at mamahon@northpark.edu
