Student Support at LCU with Tye

Transcript

Let’s hear from Tye, a junior Integrated Marketing and Communications major from Fort Worth, Texas. Tye will tell us how the LCU community is truly a community that walks with you, encouraging, equipping and strengthening you for your future. Floor’s yours Tye, take it away.

– Thanks Alex. What’s up everybody? I grew up in Weatherford, Texas, cutting horse capital of the world. Needless to say, I’m a Texan, through and through. Growing up, I really didn’t think college was for me, but then I attended a preview day here at Lubbock Christian University. Seeing the amazing community, the endless opportunity to belong and the incredible scholarships, it’s sealed the deal. Lubbock Christian University isn’t just a university, it’s a community that meets you where you are. The support and encouragement I received began even before I was a student. My admission advisor walked with me every step of the way from helping me apply to helping me move boxes into my dorm room while move in day. My peer guide in the Center for Student Success checked in weekly, answering questions, helping me connect with other incoming students and just making sure I was doing okay. When I got to freshman orientation, I already had so many friends. My community found me. My professors are more than just instructors. They’re mentors, connecting with me in authentic ways, personally, academically and spiritually. Their encouragement has inspired me to help others the way that I’ve been helped, by becoming a freshman orientation leader and serving as vice president of LCU’s Campus Ambassador Program Alliance. LCU recognizes that each student’s journey is unique. Through mentorship, my small groups and the men’s social club, Alpha Chi Delta, I’ve been encouraged and empowered to explore my passions, grow in my faith and achieve my academic goals. Here I’m learning and growing in a Christ-centered community. LCU has helped me see that, although life isn’t always easy with my community by my side, I’m prepared to not just survive life’s challenges but to thrive. Back to you Alex.

– Wow, Tye, what an amazing community to be a part of. The huge variety of resources to support students academically, spiritually and socially is incredible. What a powerful reminder that with the LCU community by your side, you can positively impact the world. Thanks again, Tye.
