Church News Compiled by Bruce Henderson looking ahead at bryn athyn college Brian Blair, President Bryn Athyn College began the academic year of 2015-2016 with an expanding student body projected to be close to 300 students. The College is introducing a new major this fall in Business Administration with concentration options in Marketing Management, Sports Management and Museum/Landmark Management. This degree will include an emphasis on the importance of business ethics, the value of quality work, and service to the community. This is the second new major introduced in the past year, which follows our Nursing program. Bergen Junge is joining our faculty after a successful business career in information technology and production management. He and his wife, Mary Jane (Bruser), have moved to Bryn Athyn where he will be a member of our expanding Business Department. Bryn Athyn College is building on its theme Think for Yourself, Live for Others. The first part of the theme, Think for Yourself, is designed to challenge students to think deeply and broadly in their studies, while considering the evidence, to draw intelligent conclusions. The second part of the theme, Live for Others, introduces New Church perspectives where moral and spiritual values become the center of the Bryn Athyn College experience. Students are encouraged to understand and appreciate the importance of love to the neighbor and performing uses in their adult lives. The College continues to receive positive feedback on our distinctive approach to a New Church college education. Our enrollment has steadily grown, supported by a dedicated faculty and staff who are committed to our mission.
