She had interned in 2011 with World Vision in Washington and fell in love with the area.

As he stepped onto the lit stage and looked into the crowd at Walt Disney World, 18-year-old Austin Gutwein felt the presence of Christ calming him to tell his story to the 20,000 ears eagerly waiting.

Owen Handy is a man who knows what he wants and is aggressive in achieving his goals.
After nine seasons as a men’s basketball assistant at his alma mater, Wheaton College, Handy knew he wanted to run his own program.

Being successful, whether building on what already exists or starting something new, all comes back to education.
That is one point Gary Hoover made as he spoke to a crowd of about 150 at Friday night’s Anderson Community Schools Hall of Fame banquet.
Hoover is one of 14 new inductees into the Anderson Education Foundation’s ACS Hall of Fame, celebrating the successful lives of ACS graduates and showing Anderson’s commitment to education and raising funds to support classroom grants, according to AEF Executive Director Cynthia Granger.
“Get out your notepads and pens, ladies and gentlemen!” A few peals of laughter rang out. “I’m going to give you some scriptures. Did you think I was joking about the notepads and pens?” The rustle of backpacks opening and notebooks being leafed through was audible in the room. What speaker could inspire Anderson University students to take notes in chapel? None other than Nick Vujicic, the Australian speaker and founder of Life Without Limbs.
The Court of Appeals of Indiana conducted a public robing ceremony for its newest member, Judge Rudolph R. Pyle III of Anderson, Tuesday afternoon in the Indiana Supreme Court Courtroom.

Sambed Adhikari’s advisors at Anderson University describe the senior chemistry and mathematics major as “very bright” and “absolutely relentless.” And he’s earned this praise.

“I love teaching because it’s a blessing. It’s a blessing to me because now they know about this part of history,” said Dr. Adolfo Roitman, curator of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The day consisted of one general lecture, two scholarly lectures, and a question and answer session.
