PRESIDENT’S WELCOME Dear friends, As we move into another academic year, it is my great privilege to welcome you to Richmont Graduate University! Whether you are a confirmed new student, prospect considering your options for graduate school, or if you just happen to like looking at graduate catalogs (I’m sure there must be a diagnosis for that), thank you for reading. I am in my eleventh year of leadership here at Richmont and I’ve never been more excited about the future. The Lord continues to provide direction and support in ways that would amaze you if I had the time to enumerate them. I will say that should you choose to attend Richmont you will be changed. You will both be challenged by and contribute to the quality of our master’s programs, which are as strong academically as any in the country. When you finish, you’ll know your stuff. You will also spend a lot of time sorting through your own personal spiritual development: not only what you believe, but how you live. We’ll teach you how to integrate your faith into your clinical practice in ways that are both personally meaningful and ethically sensitive. You will emerge from your training here with so much more than a degree. You will change. You will prepare. You will expand and grow in every area. Yes, you will earn that degree. But as a result of those challenging years of difficult work, you will become a difference-maker. I hope to meet you soon. C. Jeffrey Terrell, Ph.D. President 3
