Two regional retreats in Tampa, Florida, and Akron, Ohio, sought to take the music and message of Hughes Auditorium to Asbury alumni and friends. Designed as an overnight retreat with a time of teaching and prayer, the primary objective of the regional gatherings was to focus on the need for spiritual encouragement and prayer support. Attendance reached 115 alumni at the January retreat in Tampa and 65 at the April retreat in Akron. Members of the Asbury College Alumni board of directors assisted with site selection and registration. Music was provided by alumni.
Plans are underway to host several regional teaching events during the coming year.
Announcements will be made in future issues of College publications, the web site and mailings. We are pleased to recognize their achievements of the past four years and are excited about what they can do in the future to impact their world. These students were selected by campus nominating committees and editors of the annual directory based on their academic achievement, service to the community, leadership in extracurricular activities and potential for continued success. They join an elite group of students selected from more than 1,900 institutions of higher learning in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and several foreign nations. In addition, his work is represented by the New Editions Gallery in Lexington where two of his paintings are now being shown.
