By Linda Waggener News from Campbellsville University CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Over 30 people gathered in Frankfort recently for Campbellsville University's Campaign for the Commonwealth luncheon and focus on the need to support Christian higher education. "This campaign is vital in the life of the university," Dr. Michael V. Carter, CU president, said. "With over half of our incoming freshman continuing to be first generation college students, we are very excited to provide new opportunities for those families. This capital campaign is the vehicle making sure that each and every student who wants a Christ centered education at CU will have that." He said, "Every day in major news serious questions arise about how college can be made more affordable and Campbellsville University is committed to reducing the cost of a college education - on average students who have graduated from CU have the lowest debt of any university in the state." He said that to truly understand why CU must make sure students can attend, one only needs to listen to their stories. "Campbellsville University was the last place I applied," said Haley Carman, CU School of Education senior from Berea and graduate of Madison Southern High School. "I came to campus on a Preview Day undecided, until I heard a prayer by Dr. Frank Cheatham. As soon as his prayer ended, I knew CU was where I needed to be."Benji Kelly: the campaign is about changing lives, creating Christian servants Benji Kelly, Vice President of development, said this campaign is about changing lives and creating Christian servant leaders, a mission which has not changed over 107 years of Christian higher education in Campbellsville. "The need for the capital campaign, Our Time This Place, evolved from CU's Vision 2025," Kelly said, "which documents goals for CU to achieve before the year 2025. Fundraising for CU makes education affordable along with aid, grant and endowment scholarships. He said it is the campaign that has allowed CU to expand its faculty, hiring some 54 new faculty members since beginning the campaign, allowing CU to keep the student-to-faculty ratio low. "On average," Kelly said, "each class will have about 13 students, and the teacher will know you by name. At CU you are not a number; you're a person, and you're valued on our campus." Campbellsville University is a widely acclaimed Kentucky-based Christian university with over 3,500 students offering 63 undergraduate programs, 17 master's degrees and five postgraduate areas.
