Welcome from the Vice President of Student Development
Dear Eagles,
Welcome to Southwestern Christian University, where education, faith, and servanthood come together to help you become the person God has created you to be. I am excited to welcome you to the SCU family!
At SCU, we are committed to creating a vibrant, Christ centered campus where every student is known, experiences authentic community, grows to become more like Jesus daily, and is equipped to serve faithfully for a lifetime. We believe every student brings unique gifts, talents, and perspectives that strengthen our university community. Together, we will soar as Eagles, united in purpose and grounded in our shared faith.
Throughout your time here, you will have opportunities to grow academically, spiritually, socially, and personally. Whether through chapel, campus events, student organizations, athletics, or serving others, we encourage you to fully embrace every opportunity God places before you. These experiences will not only shape your college years but also prepare you for a lifetime of impact.
This Student Handbook is designed to help you understand the expectations and values that make our campus thrive. It explains what we do, why we do it, and how we work together to create a safe, Christ honoring, and life giving community for everyone.
Let us embrace the pursuit of scholarship, spirit, and service as we follow God’s calling together. We can’t wait to see you soar!
