In the beginning
was the Word
and the Word
was with God
and the Word
was God.
John 1:1

A Letter from the Department Chair

As chair of the English department at Spring Arbor University, let me welcome you to our department website. Please browse the site for useful information about the department, its courses, professors, and unique study opportunities. We hope you notice the value we place on creating a wellrounded academic and spiritual learning experience. Please discover links to information about the culture of the university as well.

If you are a prospective student, I hope you spend time on this site getting to know our department. Faculty members here are proud of the program we have created together. Literary analysis and critical thinking connect literature to life; classroom discussions promote a dynamic exchange of ideas. Students are encouraged to reflect on how spirituality impinges on life and literature, as we prepare students to both lead and serve in our postmodern culture. In short, our students receive a strong liberal arts education that fosters critical thinking, clear writing, and serious reflection on the human condition. To that end, we welcome inquisitive, creative, and critical students to study in a relational and challenging learning environment. If this describes you, I hope you will apply for admission and become part of a vital, reflective group of students and professors.

Sincerely,

Kimberly Moore-Jumonville, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of English
