We will never forget Brent coming home after a "Super Summer" week at UMHB telling us that this was where he wanted to go to college. In the spring of his senior year we went and visited UMHB. After spending the day visiting with counselors, professors, and coaches, it was not hard to realize that this was where God had sent Brent to further his education. In 2004, Brent graduated with a Bachelor's Degree, and God opened another door for Brent to tell others about his love for UMHB with a job in the Admissions and
Recruiting office.

In the fall of Brent's senior year, our daughter Brittany enrolled at UMHB. The positive on campus experience was even greater for her. Her dorm director encouraged Brittany to be involved in mission trips, on campus Bible studies, and other outreach ministries. Brittany's love for UMHB includes being a part of the "Couch Cru" at home football games, having a part in new incoming Freshman's first week as a "Welcome Week Mom", being a leader in Bible study groups, and working as a rec. staff member at summer church camps. Today, Brent is Associate Director of Admissions and Recruiting at UMHB and Brittany graduates in May '08

As parents of graduates, we are excited about telling other students and parents about UMHB, a Christ centered University. Our rewards are great; as we watch our children prepare for life, grow spiritually and personally in a Christian college environment. UMHB is a blessing for our family that is second to none.
