Diversity and Student Engagement Services

These smaller goals are: to assist Admissions in the recruitment effort of diverse students, once students arrive help foster a relationship of understanding and Christ centered love between them and others, and finally extending our campus diversity and environment into the city of Nashville to make a lasting impact. These smaller goals equate to an overall goal of retention.
