Camila said, “I learned that I can make a difference, because with the little that I have, I am still able to give items that will satisfy and fulfill other people’s lives. I also learned that even though the United States is one of the more economically stable countries, people still need support.”

EACH YEAR, WILLIAM CAREY UNIVERSITY CHOOSES AN ANNUAL THEME VERSE WHICH FOCUSES THE UNIVERSITY ON A BIBLICAL CONCEPT. THE THEME FOR 2021-22 COMES FROM PSALM 46:10: “BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD: I WILL BE EXALTED AMONG THE HEATHEN, I WILL BE EXALTED IN THE EARTH.” (KJV)
Dr. Tommy King said, “The world has been a chaotic place over the past year, and the year that lies ahead will bring more challenges. Many feel the need for reflection and introspection. Our theme lends itself to the diverse needs of students, faculty, staff and administrators. “Socrates expressed the need for self-understanding when he said, ‘man, know thyself.’ We are God’s creation and the search for self cannot be separated from the search for God. In an academic setting, students focus on understanding of a vast array of material. Quiet reflection leads to the realization that there is a connection between today’s preparation and tomorrow’s success.”
