Personal statement
As a graduate of CUNE, I am excited about the potential of continuing to serve as a member of the Board of Regents! In the ever-changing world in which we live, the timeless truth of the Gospel the Con- cordia system provides needs to continue to be the top priority. The Lutheran education landscape is changing, and we need to provide our K-12 schools with teachers ready to equip future generations. This happensbest through preparation at universities like CUNE. Our schools continue to grow with students who don't know Jesus, and teachers need to be equipped to share Him with others.
