A President’s Report foreword from Trustee Linda Eremita
I
fell in love with Messiah College during the 1990s with each visit to campus and glimpse of the covered bridge. In 2004, I was honored to join the Board of Trustees and call Messiah my family. Since that time I have observed: • caring administrators • dedicated faculty • the creation of great new programs and • spectacular new buildings. These are all ingredients for our students to go out into the world to “love one another as I have loved you” and employ Messiah-acquired intellect with great ethics.
This mandate to love as Jesus loved, to fully use one’s intellect and to place ethics above all else to become highly sought-after Messiah alumni, does not happen by accident. It begins with Messiah strategies that are crafted to deliver many resources to our students. Strategic planning at Messiah calls for the highest goals to provide: • meaningful academic programs • solid resources for our students and • strong fiscal health for the College. This kind of education, which nourishes the mind, soul and body, happens through Messiah’s: • great people living Christ’s message of love • strong academics and
• beautiful, state-of-the-art campus facilities. This kind of environment requires the continuous replenishment of financial gifts to supplement what families cannot afford. That is why I give my time to Messiah College and make financial contributions. I am also dedicated because Messiah students and alumni make the world a better place. What a wonderful world it would be to have an increasing population of Messiah graduates fill the world each year with their love and intellect! Let’s help to continue that population growth of exceptional Messiah graduates by donating to Messiah scholarships and facilities … FOR THE COMMON GOOD. —Linda Eremita, Messiah College Trustee

BRIAN ’99 AND JOELA ’99 (CAMPBELL) MBUU A PERSONAL STORY: We graduated from Messiah College in 1999 and are fortunate to live and work in the Harrisburg area. As a result of our close proximity to Messiah, we have had opportunities to interact with other individuals in the community who currently work at the College or are fellow alumni. Through several of these interactions, we learned of Messiah’s desire to enhance its diverse learning community. Upon reflection of our experiences at Messiah, we realized that many of the blessings we have received – such as a stronger faith, meaningful friendships and careers we are passionate about – were built as a result of our undergraduate journey at Messiah. There were many individuals who touched our lives in a positive way, including faculty, co-curricular leaders and work-study supervisors. Providing access to a great educational experience to international students was an idea that was placed on our hearts. This idea inspired us to collaborate with Ryan ’03 and Twila ’03 (Jones) Glenn, Chilobe ’99 and Megan Kalambo, David ’88 and Bonnie ’90 (Rapp) Millary, and Anthony ’06 and Jessica ’08 (Debrah) Thomas to lead the fundraising efforts establishing the International Student Scholarship Endowment. We are proud that we were able to partner with other donors, including the Messiah College Board of Trustees endowment matching challenge initiative, to make this scholarship a reality for future Messiah students. As Messiah continues to grow in a variety of areas, we are excited that future international students will continue to have an opportunity to attend Messiah, participate in its learning community and graduate with the tools necessary to be a Christian leader and serve the Lord around the world.

appreciated and reminded me that my hard work hadn’t gone unnoticed,” said Martin. “Being involved with student leadership was transformative in my college experience and life. I wanted to find a way I could continue to support student leadership and the impact that this experience can have on their lives.” The award is given to a leader who supports

We are grateful to Martin for her commitment to future students who model her example of servant leadership.

I chose Messiah because of its great reputation for rigorous academics in a Christian environment and found a community of people who would forever shape my life. Being a part of this special community allowed me to grow in my faith, develop wonderful friendships with other students and professors and learn how to incorporate my love for Jesus and others into my nursing major. After getting married and having three children, I always thought it would be great to have even one of them attend Messiah. During their searches, I encouraged them to look at many colleges but was thrilled when my son Stephen ’16 and daughter Sarah ’21 decided upon Messiah! I was pleased that the sense of community I had found was still there for my children. Stephen explains, “Community is a buzz word at Messiah for a reason. There’s real and authentic journeying with other people. That experience has given me a vision and passion to ‘pass it on’ and create community in our world wherever I am.” Stephen flourished with the many opportunities to grow in his faith and found his

passion for ministry. Supportive and available professors guided him to his current job. Friendships formed at Messiah continue to be a vital part of his life three years after graduating. Sarah’s love for Messiah started through the many visits to see her brother Stephen. She says, “I always knew Messiah was special by the way my mom talked about it. I knew it was true when I visited my brother and saw him thrive, and now I know it for myself because I’m experiencing the incomparable love and joy that comes from living in this community.” As a sophomore, Sarah has immersed herself in this community through various campus ministries and meaningful
relationships. Sharing my love of Messiah with my husband through participation in the Parents’ Advancement Council has been an honor and a privilege. It has provided him with an understanding of what a special community Messiah is. He admits he wishes he could have been a part of Messiah community as a college student but is thankful his kids are able to have this opportunity. Our family feels so fortunate and blessed to be a part of the Messiah College community and legacy. Sharing the title Messiah alumni with two of my children is a special bond we will have forever!
