Your Purpose. Our Mission.
Teaching at CSU gives me the opportunity to share my faith openly with my students and make an impact that goes beyond the classroom. Being able to pray for my students, with my students, and discuss my subject through a Christian lens is a significant departure from my prior experiences at public institutions. I hope (and believe) that it has also made a difference for my students.
