Students Convocate

Welcome, welcome, welcome... is something we have been saying a lot around here now that school is back in session. We finished up the last registration day on Thursday (8/21). Students finalized their paperwork, got their picture taken (twice!), and completed their class schedule.

Of course it didn't end there. Both Thursday (8/21) and all day Friday (8/22) students were moving into the dorms, buying books, and generally getting to know the campus and each other.

For those of us who have been on campus all summer, it is great to see students roaming around again.

Convocation Chapel was on Tuesday (8/26). This all school chapel was a good time to welcome new students. Staff and faculty prayed for the students, dedicating both the students and themselves to the learning and work that God has in store for them this school year. [Plus, it is a good opportunity for our faculty to don those cool robes.] (Convocation Chapel Program [PDF])

Of Parking Spaces and Fall Semesters

This morning I drove into the parking lot here at Multnomah to begin my work day. I had a harder time than yesterday finding a parking spot (which was a harder time than the day before, and likely not as hard as tomorrow!). This is how I know that Fall Semester is about to start.

However, the real verification comes when I see the insane amount of items on deck for employees and students alike in the week leading up to convocation!

Check the Master Calendar for the scoop on all of it...

Before I get started don't forget to check out our new Tri-Met bus advertising photo contest!

Many of you are already aware that the old Multnomah Message newsletter was upgraded to the new Multnomah magazine - and if you didn’t know, now you do!

In this latest issue, just off the press, we see some questions about our University name-change answered in more detail by Dr. Lockwood. We also investigate what it means to be a "Kingdom University" both at home and abroad.

MU Magazine Summer 08 Cover

Download this Summer 2008 issue and archived issues at www.multnomah.edu/mag and be sure to check out the bonus links and materials offered there too.

If you don’t already subscribe to the magazine (And why wouldn’t you? It’s free, after all!), then be sure to drop me a line at magazine@multnomah.edu

Catch the Bus, Catch Multnomah!

Keep an eye out for Tri-Met buses around the Portland Metro area…you might see one of our many Multnomah University ads on them!

Degree Completion

The Challenge

  1. Take a picture of the buses whenever you see them (even if you have to use your cell phone camera)
  2. Send them to me at rleary@multnomah.edu
  3. We’ll put them up on this blog every week and give you the credit and link to your blog if you have one

Bonus!
If you take the challenge above – but can capture yourself posing next to one of the buses, we’ll save you a Multnomah Bible College or Multnomah Biblical Seminary T-shirt (sizes are limited, but we’ll do our best to get you one that fits). You can come pick it up on campus if we can verify that you are one of the following:

  • A prospective student working with a Financial Aid or Admissions counselor
  • Student
  • Alumnus
  • Donor
  • Employee

Have fun and happy hunting!
