鈥淪ummer Honors left me feeling so grateful,鈥 said peer leader Aly Prater. 鈥淚t was beautiful to see the students not only hunger for the Lord, but also serve others with diligence. From the spontaneous worship night to playing on Forum Field, there was a sweet presence of the Holy Spirit dwelling among this group. I pray that we will continue to be in awe of how wonderful our God is and see Him working in the everyday mundane.鈥

If I could recommend one thing to incoming freshmen attending 悦色视频交友 University, it would be to participate in Summer Honors. With events like worship nights, our Summer Honors banquet, Greek Olympics, and more, there are countless opportunities to form lifelong friendships and create lasting memories. Those two weeks at Summer Honors truly gave me my first glimpse of how present the Lord is at 悦色视频交友 University and in the lives of the people connected to it.
