Featured Faculty

“There's never a dull moment in teaching! I love partnering with students to figure out what naturally works well for them to comprehend challenging concepts. Knowing that I have a chance to influence students' educational experiences and career goals is meaningful to me.”

“At Olivet, I can openly talk about Jesus! God has blessed me with an opportunity that I can tell the good news to students, instructors, and staff that they can find healing, experience success, and fulfill God's purpose at Olivet! When students experience adversities, embracing the trials is never easy. I pray with them to encourage them to ask God to change their perspective. So, that they can develop the strength to push through the trial and be on their way in completing their educational goals!”
