Saturday mornings for college students typically involve sleeping in, watching Netflix, or going out to brunch with friends. I attended a volleyball match this past Saturday, and I can confidently say I will be returning for more. Huntington University’s volleyball program is high energy, and they invite their fans to join them in the fun.

We typically don’t think about our daily occupations until we have trouble doing them or can no longer do them at all. Occupational therapy addresses what is important to you and your goals throughout the rehabilitation process. It’s not about what the therapist feels is important for you to be able to do; it is all about what you want to achieve.

If you ask a six-year-old what nurses do, their answer will probably be something like “they give shots” or “they wear scrubs.” Though both assumptions are true, nurses do so much more than that.

I remember feeling like I had to appear “put together” when I began college. The academic course load? No problem. Making new friends and fitting in on a new basketball team? I got this. Thankfully, I have learned that being genuine is far better in the long run than pretending.

We’ve received reports all summer about the amazing internships, missions trips, and adventures our returning Huntington University students undertook in the past few months. With summer winding down, now is the perfect time to recap some of those experiences.

October in the MCA offers a bit of something for everyone. A band concert, senior showcases, and a guest lecture will headline our Zurcher Auditorium and Longaker Recital Hall stages. Plus, Terry Pulley’s exhibition of paintings will be on display all month in the Robert E. Wilson Art Gallery.

The Spirit of a Forester language clarifies who we are and guides who we become. Like the creeds of our Christian tradition, the Spirit of a Forester was our very intentional effort to define what we believe. Our creed has a direct impact on our everyday operations in a way that goes beyond the foundational purpose of our mission statement, beyond any marketing campaign.
