  • This week we welcomed two esteemed speakers to campus, Dr. Marcus "Goodie" Goodloe from Flourishing Church LA and Westmont College, and Dr. Paul Metzger from Multnomah Biblical Seminary of Jessup University, for our Becoming Beloved Community Spring '25 Symposium. 
 
Both of our excellent guest speakers led conversations on "Excavating Culture", aiming to foster a deeper understanding of cultural dynamics and promote substantive on-campus conversations. We were incredibly grateful for both speakers insights and encouragement to our University and the Eugene community in continuing conversations towards a beloved community.
 
This event was part of the Becoming Beloved Community series of events initiated by the Board of Trustees and Office of the President at Bushnell University. This series explores biblical perspectives on racial reconciliation and important issues facing our community.
