Favorite Thing About DBU

Being a two-time graduate of DBU and having served the University for more than twenty years, it really is hard to name one thing, so here are a few of my favorites. The mission and vision of this institution motivates and inspires me each time I pull on campus. The Lord has called us to raise up and equip the next generation of servant leaders through Christ-centered higher education. The students, parents, and families that we are called to serve are a joy to walk alongside in this pivotal season in their lives. The faculty and staff are uniquely called to be at DBU, and it is an honor to be a part of the DBU Family.
