Bishop Francis Asbury encouraged United Methodists to build<br />
schools in locations central to churches so that young adults<br />
and youth would have more opportunities to broaden their<br />
minds. The Francis Asbury Award recognizes an individual<br />
who has made significant contributions to higher education<br />
and campus ministry at the local, district, or annual conference<br />
level of the church.<br />
