Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can ...

This adage, attributed to John Wesley, has echoed through every corner of Nebraska Wesleyan for generations. 

Education, specifically a Nebraska Wesleyan education, transforms lives, families, and ultimately, communities. It is certainly true for my Ƶ experience, as it is for my children and other family members. It was here we learned about leadership, service, and contributing to our communities and the world. Each of you has a story of “doing all the good you can,” and I have no doubt it is one that includes service, lifelong learning and leadership. 

For many of you, doing all the good you can includes investing in Ƶ. And for this, I am truly grateful. Whether it’s a gift to the Archway Fund, endowed scholarships, Prairie Wolf Pantry or your favorite sports team, you are ensuring the Ƶ experience is thriving today and continues to stand on a solid foundation for our future. I am pleased to share our annual report with you. Thank you for the part you have played in making these outcomes possible and for being a vital part of the Ƶ community.
