Summer 2022- Joel Johnson Director of Alumni Relations

LETTER FROM THE ALUMNI DIRECTOR

Fire Family!

As a new school year approaches, I cannot help but think about the 87 years of Southeastern history that has come and gone. Our school has been in three states, had five campuses, seven names and at least two mascots. One thing that has never changed is our calling to train up young men and women to spread the love of Jesus around the world.

We are now a university with over 100 majors, five colleges, over 200 extension sites and a thriving graduate program, all of which are preparing students to impact their communities for the Kingdom of God. There are currently over 2,100 students studying to go into full-time ministry.

Your alma mater has held true to its mission and founding. While we have grown to record numbers and our academic offerings have grown accordingly, we are still fulfilling our mission. No matter the major, our students are learning how to make their career calling a ministry.

Think back to what made

Southeastern special when you attended: the care and love from the faculty, the relationships built, the spiritual formation that happened in chapel services and the memories made. Those same things still happen every day here on campus.

If you have not come back to see what your school has become, we would love to have you back at Homecoming this year on October 21-22, 2022. We will have reunions for alumni from the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. If you ever sang in a vocal group for the school, we would love for you to join our alumni choir as we celebrate the 10-year anniversary of SEU Worship.

As always, it is an honor to serve you.

Joel K. Johnson ’92 Director of Alumni Relations
