Campus Life at LCU with Rebecca

Transcript

When we think of Lubbock Christian University, the words thriving, engaging and welcoming come to mind. Let’s meet Rebecca, a junior Psychology major who’s gonna share how the spirit of the LCU community fosters endless ways to connect, have fun and belong, and let’s just say boredom is not an option here. Take it away, Rebecca.

– Appreciate you, Alex. My parents are first generation immigrants from Kenya, but I grew up here in Lubbock. What I found here at Lubbock Christian University is an amazing diversity of students who represent so many different cultures, nationalities, ethnicities and even spiritual upbringings. At the very heart and soul of the student experience are the friendships that are made and the community that is fostered here. There are so many opportunities to get involved. One of my favorite memories was attending the Taste the Nations dinner where students, staff and faculty shared home-cooked dishes from their culture and that is just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many campus events constantly happening, like basketball games played by nationally ranked teams playing sports and the intramural programs with friends, eating meals together in the caff or study sessions in the on-campus Starbucks and I love the annual tradition of the student led show called Master Follies, where clubs and organizations compete for prizes, with cleverly written musical skits. I especially loved when the university hosted a luncheon, for the iconic civil rights lawyer, Fred Gray and a special dinner and film screening with Dallas Jenkins, the producer of the widely acclaimed series, “The Chosen.” It was amazing. LCU provides so many opportunities for students to connect and belong. I have participated in a wide variety of activities and organizations and been mentored and pushed to serve in leadership roles by my professors. My experience has encouraged me to pay it forward and pour that same energy into new freshmen and younger fellow students. LCU has taught me that community is not something you fall into, but something intentionally created and this is the perfect place to do just that. Back to you Alex.

– We love how LCU authentically creates community and everyone feels a sense of belonging. It’s no wonder LCU is often referred to as the friendliest college campus in the state of Texas. Thanks again for sharing, Rebecca. That was amazing.
