6 • GCU TODAY
They are tomorrow’s electrical engineers and computer wizards, entrepreneurs
and innovators, worship leaders and teachers,medical professionals and lawyers,
musicians and thespians.
They will help solve global challenges, spread the Gospel, invent the next
great thing and make their loved ones’ hearts burst with pride and joy.
They are a smart bunch with an incoming GPA of greater than 3.5, and
so young, too: One in five is under 18 years old. They primarily hail from
the western U.S. – Arizona, California, Colorado, Washington, Oregon and
Hawaii – and while some literally are neighborhood kids, others were born far
away, in South Korea and Nigeria.
They are our hope for the future. They will do great things at home and
abroad. Welcome, Class of 2019. We’ve been preparing for you.
