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.

Despite aspiring to specialize in 2D character animation, I think the project I enjoyed most in 2022-2023 was all about animating text. The project was called “kinetic typography.” We had to take an audio clip and create subtitles that would appear and move to complement the dialogue.

With the busyness of classes, internships, practices, and social lives, the individual importance of each spiritual life experience is sometimes lost. We tend to turn these meaningful times of worship into a 45-minute period of waiting for a QR code.

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.

As you prepare to come back to HU after the summer, remember that you have an entire Forester Family to welcome you to campus. Moving back can be stressful, but remembering the exciting and rewarding aspects of life at HU can be a tremendous encouragement.

This is by no means a complete list of all of the resources we offer at Huntington University. However, these are some of the resources you likely will return to repeatedly in the semesters to come. You can save yourself time and hassle by being aware of them now and saving them in a place that will be easy to find later.
