IMPACT 360 student Jordan Joseph recently received a Presidential Scholarship from Erskine College, a Christian liberal arts college in Due West, S.C., where she will begin studies in the fall.
Joseph, a native of Forsyth, Ga., is one of two Presidential Scholarship winners and was selected from 28 students who visited the campus in March. The scholarship covers tuition, room and board, and fees and is renewable for four years of study at Erskine.

Every year at this point in the spring, I make a point of asking our students a series of questions to test what they’ve learned and how they’ve grown. When I get to the question “So what single thing has changed you the most during your time here?” inevitably the answer is “community.” While this answer may not be altogether surprising at first blush, what is surprising is how often the students themselves are …

Well folks, the semester is winding down. Commissioning is only just around the corner. On one hand the whole campus is building in excitement; on the other, sadness. As our campus is being dismantled we realize that even when we come back to visit, its never going to be the same. Mom and Dad are redoing the room, before we have even leave for school. But we understand. We joined knowing that progress was …

See AllA. W. Tozer’s book The Knowledge of the Holy is a classic in Christian theology. For the young Christian, this text can make the queen of the sciences seem down to earth. For the advanced student of theology, it can serve as a refreshing reminder of the merits of Christian thinking. At the beginning of the book, Tozer pens incredibly simple, yet profound words in classic Tozer style, “What comes in our minds when we …

This week has been a full one for those of us here at IMPACT360. We were blessed to have Dr. Basie teaching us Bioethics this week and last night was the start of our last Interview/Preview Day with students from Texas, California and Georgia, as well as other areas. We mixed it up last night with some Minute-to-Win-It games and a few rounds of “Don’t Forget the Lyrics” to ramp it up. It was …

Due to a storm last Thursday night, the ladies were forced to postpone their Girls Night Out…but that certainly did not put a damper on last night’s festivities.
From team cheers to TP wedding dresses to a sandwich making contest to paint wars this night was filled with fulfilling the old Cindy Lauper adage: these girls just wanna have fun! The ladies were divided into teams including the Princess Pink Sleeping Beauties, the Tiffany Blue …

Class this week was on the morality and attributes of God. It was so interesting! On Thursday in the academy we talked about prayer. One of the questions was what was the point of praying if there is free-will? What’s the point of praying for The Lord to guide you if you are just going to make the decision? Another question that was, why pray if we are predestined? If everything is determined for …

Last week all the students were off for Spring break. Some people spent the break at home, but the majority of people spent it either in Texas, New York, or Florida. Shortly after arriving in the great state, the Texas group went wake boarding, wake surfing, and tubing on Lake Austin. They also had a couple fun adventures caving in Utopia. Meanwhile in Sarasota, the Florida group was out sailing the ocean where they …

Well, it’s very quiet around campus this week. Spring Break is definitely here (along with enough pollen to blanket the state of Rhode Island). Recently, I moved into the special projects coordinator role here at IMPACT 360. It is amazing to be working with such great and talented people, and to hang out with some awesome students and call it work. Just the other day, I learned about one of our alumni working in California. …

After going through all the modules, experiences, and classes we have experienced together at IMPACT, it feels weird for this year to be coming to an end soon. I have seen in myself an exponential amount of growth after the Brazil trip, and I have seen a great change in the depth of our community. It’s easy to just get swept up in the flow of this time of year though. It seems like …
