Chapel is seen as an integral part of the campus life at these universities. One of the most important elements that ELI 360 looks for in its partner universities is a focus on holistic education, which carries with it a need to provide students with an avenue for spiritual growth on top of academic and professional development. In general, the chapel services held at these universities function to help the university family – students, faculty and staff – engage in an environment of corporate worship in order to encourage each individual in their commitment to God and to grow in their love for and knowledge of him.

Folks in West Texas are well known in the United States for their “Southern hospitality” – a characteristic that most ELI 360’s international students’ have experienced firsthand in Abilene. This past Friday, the members of Hardin-Simmons University’s International Student Fellowship (ISF) were given the opportunity to taste just how pervasive this attitude of friendliness truly was on their very own campus when they were invited over to dinner by the new President of HSU, Dr. Lanny Hall.

High school is a great opportunity for those seeking to do well in college to start developing themselves and establishing a strong foundation for the future. It will not hurt to work a little harder than your peers because ultimately, as I have learned from experience, it is you and you alone that benefit from all the effort you have put in. It is easy to feel like a lot of what you do in high school is a waste of time or energy. When you do encounter these thoughts, remember that high school is not the end; remember that high school does count when it comes – it is a stepping stone to ensuring success in university.

The reality is that it is no longer sufficient for students to merely get through an institution of higher learning with a diploma in hand; graduates today need to be more multi-faceted and diverse in both their knowledge and skills than ever before.

In many ways, I feel like my journey has now come full circle. Coming from the position an international student to now a staff member at ELI360, I am passionate about extending the same kind of excellence in service to any student looking to attend one of our many distinguished partner universities.
