APU Blogs

Hello once again! :)

Happy November to you! :) Well, this has been a fun-filled week! :) I had the opportunity to go up to our High Sierra campus (in Bass Lake...near Yosemite) for a couple of days to visit with some of the students and staff there! :) It was my first time up to the High Sierra campus, and it was amazing! :) I love the tight-knit community that is built...such wonderful people, such a beautiful environment, and such unique learning experiences! :) It brought immense joy to my heart to see how the students interacted with faculty--whether it is in a class session, conversing around the dinner table, or having fun playing games and other activities! I would definitely encourage students to really look into the High Sierra semester to see if it may be an option for them! :)

I so appreciate the way APU continues to be a place where lifetime relationships are established. I was reminded of the truth of this blessing when I got together with some of my dearest friends that graduated from APU with me...and realized that I would not have the depth of these friendships if it were not for APU and the emphasis that is placed on community here! :)  

Have you visited the APU campus yet? I know there were a number of students and family members that came this past week for our first Preview Weekend of the school year! I love Preview Weekends! :) These are great times to really get a feel for what APU is like...meeting current students, spending the night on-campus, going to chapel, visiting a class, interacting with faculty and staff, and the list could go on and on! :) If you haven't visited the campus yet, I would encourage you to come to our second Preview Weekend (November 15-17).

More than anything, I pray you would experience God's presence, goodness, and faithfulness in these coming weeks! :)

Grace, peace, and love,

Stacie :)
