Welcome to the Fairbanks Campus. It is my hope that Wayland is represented, by all the staff and faculty, in a manner which honors the guiding principles of Wayland Baptist University, the professional academic system, and the grace and compassion of the Lord Jesus Christ. As Dean of the campus, the motto "Blending Academic Excellence with Christian Values" is dear to my heart and embodies my wish for the Fairbanks Campus. If in the end of our academic pursuit all we can say is that we have a specific knowledge and a specific diploma and we have not touched the world and the people around us we miss the true goal of education. Academic pursuit is but the hem of the garment--relationships with people and God is where the plethora of life's true joys and love is found. Knowledge for knowledge's sake is a futile pursuit--knowledge to help us live better and more vibrant lives with God and those around us will wrap our lives in gratifying pleasures and in the end eternal peace.
If there is anything that I can help you with please give me a call. It is my expectation that you will have a successful experience with Wayland-Fairbanks.
