HELM Board Chair Awarded AAR Regional Development Grant
In 2013, Dr. John Marsden became president of Midway University. In the years since, the school has seen exciting changes and dramatic growth in enrollment. In July 2015, the college changed its name to Midway University. At the beginning of the 2016 fall semester, enrollment in the day college was opened to men and the largest class in the school’s history was welcomed to campus. In 2018-19, 3 additional sports will be added to the athletic program, bringing the total number of sports to 20. In recognition of his leadership, President Marsden recently received an Excellence in Education Vision Award. To read more about this award and the exciting changes taking place at Midway, 
Chris Dorsey, President of HELM, noted that Alexander Campbell, founder of Bethany College, believed that “churches and colleges go hand in hand in the progress of Christian civilization.” The social, political and religious contexts have changed since Campbell wrote those words. However, even in these changed contexts, the work of educating and forming students intellectually, emotionally, spiritually and physically or, as Douglas Searcy, President of Barton College noted, “building up the whole person” continues. Glennell Lee-Pruitt, Provost and Vice-President of Academic Affairs at Jarvis Christian College, shared that one key component in working towards that goal in a diverse and pluralistic country and world is helping students “to be able to know and value a story other than their own.” Those present acknowledged the need to recognize and celebrate that working towards this kind of non-sectarian education is in our DNA as it has been part of Disciples history from the beginning.
