MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

My heart goes out to all those affected by the recent announcement that Bethany University will be closing its doors. This includes the faculty, staff, alumni, and especially you, the current student body.

Southeastern University's desire is to assist Bethany students during this challenging time. I want to assure you that we are committed to offering the same high-quality education and Christian community to which you have grown accustomed at Bethany. There are many obstacles that may arise in the coming weeks related to continuing your college career, and we at Southeastern want to do everything we can to help take those obstacles away, whether they be academic, financial, or otherwise. We stand ready to serve you.

Though we may not be able to change circumstances and challenges, we can commit to walking side-by-side with you through them. I believe, by the grace of God, the outcome of the challenges we face will be brighter than we ever imagined. I pray that you find wisdom and guidance during these times, and know that we are here to help in any way we can.

- Dr. Kent Ingle, President

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
