" I was encouraged by a good friend to attend Redeemer to gain some direction in my life, both spiritually and occupationally. I studied visual arts and business during my four years, with little knowledge that I would end up owning a company and working as a full-time lifestyle photographer. At Redeemer, faith is first. Above all social and academic realms, the community of professors, staff and classmates encourage you in your walk with Christ as their first priority. I remember my art professor talking to me about an upcoming deadline, which I was obviously not going to meet. He could have handed me a big fat 0, but instead invited me to share my story and prayed with me. How powerful! Academics at Redeemer are refreshingly challenging, and relationships with the professors meant that I was personally pushed to my full potential in the classroom. Though class assignments and readings are rigorous, success in the workplace is rarely taught from a personal gain perspective. Even in my business courses, “making it to the top” was never heard in class, but rather we were encouraged to use our resources, education, and credentials to help others and to be powerful, loving stewards of the earth. So many aspects of Redeemer prepared me for my career. From building relationships to maintaining a well-run business, and above all else, serving our faithful Father in all areas of life. I learned both in and out of the classroom that my faith isn’t compartmentalized to ‘faith-based activities’, but rather encompasses my whole life – career, academics, friendships, family, stewardship. My time at Redeemer gave me a fresh and life changing perspective on my relationship with others, on how I carry out my day to day tasks, and how I worship the creator of all of it! "
