In the years since the Clase of 2O12 firet arrived on campus, our nation elected a new president and weathered a challenging economy, while the people of Hatti suffered the effects of a devastating earthquake. Here at ENC, there were changes as well. Recognizing that our school mascot, the Crusader, was not in keeping with the meeeage of Christian love we alm to share with the world, we embraced our new mascot, the Lion, as a symbol of courage and strength of fatth. We also netttuted a new college slogan. Discover Your Purpose. Far from being etmply a marketing tool, this new slogan wae intended as a statement of what we hope to accomplish at Eastern Nazarene College. While other colleges may seek to prepare students for a specific career track or profession, ENC hae always sought to provide an academically and epirtbually nurturing environment to help studente discover the unique purpose that God has planned for them. | hope you feel that your time here has helped you begin to discern your spectal purpose. You may find that your purpose differs greatly from those of your friends and classmates. You may even have some heettation at leaving ENC and taking the next etep In your journey with God. | encourage you to recall the words of Samuel Jean (92), who came to campus last year to share with us his experl- ences volunteering in his native Hatti in the aftermath of the earthquake. “ENC ts a place of safety,” he said. “It’s eupposed to be a place of safety. People look like you, talk like you, believe what you believe. It’s very different to step out of this place of safety and enter the réal world, which is not a safe place. But tt ts a world you must engage..Y.o u may not want to go to Hatt, but you don’t have to go to Hatti to make a change. Feople near you may need food, need clothes. There may be a student who needs someone to connect with. Fart of being a human being, of being Christian, ts to Interact.” Proverbs 19°21 telle ue, “Many are the plane in a pereon’s heart, but tt te the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” As you venture forth from Eastern Nazarene College on the unique journey the Lord hae eet before you, know that the prayers and blessings of the ENC communtty go wtth you always.
