Happy New Year, CIU! Email from Dr. Christman
January 5, 2023
Happy 100th Anniversary! CIU's first class was held October 1, 1923!
As we enter 2023, I'm so thankful for you!
As I serve as your Acting President, my prayer is that God will:
- Guard my mind
- Guide my path
- Grant me wisdom
Let us pray this together as we look forward to the year ahead!
We will stay mission-focused on developing CIU's strategic plan, growing enrollment and strengthening our financial position for today and for the future.
The theme for our 22-23 academic year is "Making Him Known," focusing on the latter half of CIU's motto. November's Global Mission Conference, sponsored by CICS, emphasized that theme and launched CIU's year-long centennial celebration.
This calendar year we will build on that theme and continue the 100th-anniversary celebration!
Our 100th anniversary events include (ciu.edu/100):
Jan. 30-31, 2023 Church Refreshed - Sponsored by Seminary and School of Ministry
March 21, 2023 John C. Maxwell Leadership Summit – Sponsored by School of Business
April 4, 2023 Partner Appreciation Luncheon
May 6, 2023 100th Commencement
Aug. 2-4, 2023 Distinctive Teaching and Learning Conference (DTL) – Sponsored by College of Education
Nov. 2-5, 2023 Grand Finale: Homecoming & Hall of Faith Induction - Sponsored by College of Arts and Sciences
Finally, I am looking forward to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees being on campus next week!
Have a blessed day!
Dr. Rick Christman
Acting President
