Why SAU
I am reminded of Romans 12:2 (New King James Version) when I reflect on my why to join the Spring Arbor University (SAU) community: "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
There are a multitude of compelling reasons to commence your teaching career at Spring Arbor University. I am of the opinion that the university's Mission and Values are essential because they prioritize a Christian perspective and integration of faith with learning align with my principles of a comprehensive educational approach.
This is related to Romans 12:2, which allows me to promote the integration of Christianity into worldviews by fostering relationships with faculty, students, and staff, thereby enhancing the educational and learning experience for all. Consequently, this presents an opportunity to shape the lives of students, preparing them for service in the field of Social Work with the domain of disciplines and positively impacting the world.
This is to the teaching philosophy of SAU, which is beneficial and harmonious with God's good, acceptable, and immaculate will
