Concordia’s online MBA program.<br />

My Vision for the ministry of the University: I envision Concordia to be a place that seeks both<br />

time tested and innovative ways to depopulate hell while preparing its graduates to lead and serve<br />

others. Digital age skills (e.g. collaboration, creativity, real world problem solving) will be<br />

incorporated into the learning environment. Concordia has a proud history upon which continuing<br />

expansion and excellence will be built. Ultimately, my vision for Concordia is that it will be the<br />

Christian university that others can only dream about.<br />
