Dear School of Education Graduate Student,<br />
Welcome to <strong>Biola</strong> <strong>University</strong>‘s School of Education Graduate Program. We are delighted to have you as<br />
a part of our community. My prayer for you is that God will richly bless you in spiritual development<br />
and academic growth during your years here at <strong>Biola</strong> <strong>University</strong>, so that you might be a more effective<br />
witness and educational leader in your community.<br />
While the purpose of this handbook is to acquaint you with expectations of our community, familiarize<br />
you with the academic programs, and inform you of legal rights to protect your interest and time here,<br />
much of this handbook relates to regulations. For academic guidance and spiritual guidance, we strongly<br />
urge you to regularly see your advisor so that he or she might guide and mentor you during your years<br />
here at <strong>Biola</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />
We are here to serve you. I hope that your time at <strong>Biola</strong> will be one in which you enjoy deep Christian<br />
fellowship and build friendships that will last a lifetime. I hope that your walk with the Lord will be<br />
challenged and deepened, and that your prayer life and time in the Word will increase. And, I hope that<br />
you will take every thought captive to Christ and that your heart‘s desire to serve Him more skillfully<br />
will be realized through your graduate work here at <strong>Biola</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />
Education is all about shaping lives and that is the business that we are in. May the Lord anoint you for<br />
His work in our school systems here and around the world, and may you serve children and youth better<br />
because of skills honed while studying at <strong>Biola</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />
Welcome!<br />
Sincerely in Christ,<br />
June Hetzel, Ph.D., Dean<br />
School of Education<br />
