Forever NGU l Volume 3 Issue 1 | |

As we look to the start of the fall semester, I hope your summer has been a time of
rejuvenation and joy. I am already thinking of all the amazing things waiting for us in
the next academic year.
This fall, we are excited to see the launch of the university’s sixth college, the College
of Allied Health. Allied Health joins the institution’s current colleges of Business and Entrepreneurship, Communication and Fine Arts, Christian Studies, Education, and Humanities and Sciences.
We celebrate the continued growth of academic offerings at our Alma Mater and
welcome the fantastic students who will find their new home with us in August. There
are incredible moments yet to come. We look forward to sharing it all with you!
