a message from the president I thank God for what he has done through friends like you. With immense gratitude for God’s provision, I am humbled to announce that our comprehensive fundraising campaign is now complete with gifts totaled over $30.5 million for our “For Such A Time As This” campaign, far exceeding our original $27.5 million goal! Over 5,000 individuals, firms, and foundations made gifts to the university; over 1,500 of those made their very first gift to LETU in this campaign. With the advancements that have been made possible in this campaign, LETU is poised for a bright future. You can learn more on pages 24-25. We are thankful for our many donors whose names are listed in these pages, for their financial gifts, prayer support, and encouragement. Our mission is to inspire our graduates to see their life’s work as a holy calling with eternal impact. For many, that life’s work may include using a variety of technology in their calling. Not a day goes by that we don’t hear stories about how the use of technology compromises our privacy in potentially harmful ways, especially as technology becomes more and more pervasive in our everyday lives. Computer hackers, some working directly for foreign governments, daily seek to steal sensitive data from U.S. corporations, our military and governmental entities. Hospitals and other medical service providers are targeted daily for disclosure of private medical records and identifying patient information. We can even look to the skies to see video surveillance causing precedent-setting privacy concerns from an ever-widening drone industry. How should a Christ-centered university that seeks to be relevant and make an impact in every workplace in every nation respond to these kinds of societal issues? LeTourneau University’s School of Business and Technology is launching a new cyber security degree program next fall. SOBAT is already offering online health care management and administration programs that prepare professionals dealing with medical data security. LETU recognizes the need

for business professionals now and in the future to know how to defend proprietary data and protect privacy. Our School of Aviation and Aeronautical Science also has recently launched the first remotely piloted aircraft, or "drone," program in the state of Texas to train pilots, maintenance technicians and electronics designers for this evolving and expanding field. There is no better place to teach professionals to handle this technology than a university like LETU that is based on a Christian worldview.

Defending Privacy With Cybersecurity Education Written by Janet Ragland

4 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015

Privacy is under attack. Cybersecurity and data privacy is big news . . . and big business. Hardly a day goes by that news headlines don’t scream about the latest cybersecurity attack in which individuals, corporations and governmental organizations have had their computer systems hacked. Just this past June, the White House admitted that a breach of U.S. government computer systems in the Office of Personnel Management resulted in the theft of data pertaining to more than 21 million individuals—many of whom are federal employees. Rumors are the hackers were linked to China. Some have called it the biggest data breach in U.S. history. Compromised data included names, ages, birthdates, social security numbers, financial information, physical and mental health information, criminal histories, residence and employment histories, and names of family members and acquaintances — even usernames and passwords that prospective employees used to fill out online employment application forms. Theft of this data by hackers around the globe is serious. Identity theft is a real threat, not to mention the threat of losing proprietary corporate information that destroys competitive advantage or secret governmental information that places our national security at risk. The growth of the cybersecurity industry is on an upward trajectory that some anticipate will reach over $170 billion in the next five years, by the year 2020. The job outlook for information security analysts is on that same upward trajectory, estimated to grow 37% from 2012 to 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Information security analysts who devise innovative solutions to block hackers earn a median pay of around $86,000 and can climb to six-figure salaries with experience. Professional expertise with Christian ethics is essential to numerous industries from banking, data processing, healthcare and more. Cybersecurity education and developing professionals who can promote responsible

cybersecurity protections and protocols is key, which makes LeTourneau University’s new Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity degree, set to launch in Fall 2016, a fundamental part of the solution to this growing global threat. Championing LETU’s new cybersecurity degree offering is Dr. Ron Sones, the Calvin Howe Professor of Business and new dean of LETU’s School of Business and Technology, which recently reorganized to include the department of computer science. Sones is an expert in cybersecurity. His professional industry experience began as a computer programmer analyst with Computer Sciences Corporation. He advanced from analyst to director, developing software systems for the Department of Defense and its associated agencies. After 13 years in the computing industry handling information systems, Sones recognized the need for more cybersecurity professionals, so he transitioned to a career in academia in 1997, teaching at University of Mary Hardin Baylor, James Madison University and Liberty University before coming to LETU in 2014. Working for the U.S. government with a top secret clearance for many years, Sones takes data security seriously. He understands the difficulties of data theft. That is why you won’t find him on Facebook or Twitter. He is intentionally cautious about the digital footprint he leaves. “In technology, it is very easy to make giant leaps forward very quickly,” Sones said. “You see how quickly mobile applications have proliferated. The history of computing as an industry has made it relatively easy to come up with the next scathingly brilliant idea, but many of these ideas have a downside, that their creators never intended. “Many of these were created in much the same way our nation was,” Sones said. “It was based on Christian principles. We have created something great, but it is based on the fact that Christian men and women will be the caretakers of this grand experiment. The creators of this country put things together with little thought about the downside and the unintended consequences, and sometimes

6 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015

those unintended consequences are ethically, morally and legally challenging.” Sones reports that social media is a prime example, citing how Facebook has contributed to a rising divorce rate. “A study done about six years ago reported that a quarter of the divorces in the United Kingdom were directly attributed to Facebook—people catching up with old flames and rekindling high school love affairs,” he said. “And almost daily, you will find stories of people, many with large public personas, being forced to apologize about a comment they made on Twitter. “An expressed thought that before would have been heard by two or three people is now heard by

"Once it is out there, it never dies."

hundreds of thousands,” he said. “Some have lost jobs over their comments. Once it is out there, it never dies.” Sones says today’s technology has tremendously enabled data theft. He says LETU’s new cybersecurity program will empower wellintentioned businesses, ministries and service organizations to use technology wisely and find cost-effective, secure digital means to store, collect and access their data. “LeTourneau is the premier STEM Christian university in the country, therefore we have the academic excellence, the commitment, and the unwavering Christian foundation to prepare students to excel in this field,” Sones said.

Protecting Privacy in Health Care Written by Janet Ragland

Picture this. You just opened a letter from your doctor’s office saying that your electronic medical records have been compromised. Not only have your personal and confidential medical history and health information been stolen, but hackers now have your name, address, phone number, age, birthdate, social security number and employer information that they could use to commit fraud against you. Hackers could steal your identity, open bank accounts in your name, ruin your credit, and complicate your life. And that’s not to mention that your health information could, under the wrong circumstances, even cost you a job or a job promotion. What if your medical records indicate you’ve been treated for mental illness, cancer or other costly medical issues? That could compromise your opportunities for advancement with your current employer or a potential employer. Privacy of our personal health information has to be managed with utmost professionalism, which is why LeTourneau University’s undergraduate healthcare management and graduate healthcare administration programs are designed to prepare professionals to exemplify excellence and to lead in this essential industry.

8 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015

Dr. Bryan Schneider is the director of LETU’s graduate healthcare administration program and is an assistant professor of health care administration. Dr. Velma Payne is the chair of LETU’s undergraduate healthcare management and information systems programs and an assistant professor of healthcare administration and management. Both have a wide depth of knowledge and extensive experience in healthcare education. Growth in the field of healthcare management is projected to rise 23% in the decade from 2012 through 2022, which is higher than the national average, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Earning potential is great, with an average annual salary of nearly $90,000 for medical and health service managers and senior executives earning $200,000 or significantly more, depending on experience and achievements. Whether working for a doctor’s office, a hospital, a health insurance company, or a company that handles patient billing, healthcare administration and management provides a variety of career growth opportunities. Both LETU’s undergraduate and graduate programs have been designed in collaboration with top-tier health care management professionals,

LeTourneau University | 9

including local and regional hospital CEOs, CFOs, presidents and vice presidents. Schneider says that faith and work integration is intrinsic to LETU’s programs. “Concepts of ethics, integrity and service are interwoven throughout LETU’s coursework in each class,” Schneider said. “Integrating faith into classroom content and discussions of realworld issues encourages students to see how their decisions and actions can align with God’s teaching and how their faith should inform their professional decisions and actions.” To protect patient privacy, the primary law restricting the sharing of medical information is known as the Health Insurance Portability and

10 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015

Accountability Act (HIPAA). Violations to HIPAA bring steep penalties ranging from as low as $100 to as high as $1.5 million, and in some cases, criminal charges can be filed for negligence with medical records. With the high costs of these kinds of breaches, companies handling medical records need to create their own privacy policies about how they collect information, what they collect, how they use it, how they encrypt and safeguard it, and with whom it can be shared. Failure to do so could result in legal liability for any company that doesn’t adhere to its own privacy policy. “LETU’s healthcare management and administration programs teach about HIPAA,

security practices, applications and software designed to ensure patient records are secure,” Payne said. “We teach about data encryption, best practices and protecting health information. We teach about the day-to-day operations involved in healthcare management and administration, how data flows through the organization and how corporations should implement safeguards necessary to maintain patient privacy.”

“If a patient is not comfortable with how their data is being handled, they may fail to provide critical data, which could result in an incorrect or delayed diagnosis... that could be fatal.”

Dr. Bryan Schneider

“It’s not only software but employee practices, including not discussing a patient in the hallways where others can overhear,” Payne said. “And we teach that you don’t transmit patient information to just anybody who asks for it. The request for information has to fit within strict criteria to ensure patient data is private.” But another serious concern arises when it comes to accurate and complete healthcare data. “If a patient is not comfortable with how their data is being handled, they may fail to provide critical data, which could result in an incorrect or delayed diagnosis,” she said. “That could be fatal.”

Drone. The word conjures fear in some, excitement and market potential in others. To some people, stories of invasion of privacy, near-misses with airliners, and even remote weapons being controlled an ocean away are what comes to mind. To others, the potential of using a technology that is forecast to grow $10 billion in the next 12 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015

10 years is an exciting prospect. However misunderstood, drones are here to stay. Chris Anderson, CEO of 3D Robotics, one of the largest drone companies in the USA, recently stated that modern drones used for both hobbies and business are less airplanes without pilots than they are “smartphones with propellers.” In fact, a smart phone-integrated quadcopter was recently featured

on the TV show Shark Tank and the crowd-funded website Kickstarter. As people become more familiar and comfortable with the technology, safety and privacy concerns become paramount. The Federal Aviation Administration has been working tirelessly to create and enforce unmanned aircraft regulations since Congress charged them in 2012 with an effort to modernize aviation safety. However, the regulations the FAA creates are focused on safety, and will not provide guidance on protection of privacy. In an effort to fill the gap, nearly all of the 50 states in the U.S. have drafted their own drone privacy laws.

Texas state law, for example, prohibits collection of images from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) except under 19 specific industries and uses. Colleges and universities may use images collected from a UAV for research. Petroleum companies may use UAVs to monitor pipelines and inspect infrastructure. Any business or individual not listed in the specific exemptions are, therefore, likely to be charged with a crime for collecting pictures of other people without their permission. Many of the state laws that are filling in the gaps on privacy are based on previously coded “peeping Tom” laws, with some being more restrictive than others. LeTourneau University | 13

LETU Instructor Ruedi Schubarth teaches students to become skilled RPA pilots, maintenance technicians and electronics designers.

14 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015

An important point to note is that it isn’t the technology doing the spying. It’s the person or entity controlling the technology. The responsibility for protection of privacy rests with everyone. UAV operators must be responsible to control their aircraft and protect the safety and privacy of people not involved with their operations. This includes knowledge of the privacy laws in the states where they are operating. Governments must be responsible to develop guidelines that protect the safety and privacy of their citizens while allowing a vibrant industry to grow and expand to its potential. Citizens must be responsible to educate themselves on their rights and must know how they are protected. In most cases, if you have good reason to believe you are being illegally spied upon, you should contact your local police department and/or sheriff’s office. They may not yet even know the laws, but awareness is growing through efforts to educate law enforcement across the country on the safety and privacy aspects of drone operation. LeTourneau University’s new drone program has established its mission to include nurturing Christian virtue, integrating faith and work, and serving the local and global community as it relates to designing, handling and operating drones. In LETU’s new Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) program, students can choose between three concentrations: pilot, technician, and electronics. Each of these three degree concentrations includes FAA pilot or mechanic certificates, and will include a drone operator’s certificate as soon as it becomes available through the FAA. Throughout LETU’s RPA curriculum, students will learn to design, program, test, and use drones for multiple applications. As part of LETU’s School of Aviation & Aeronautical Science, the RPAS degree will benefit from the tradition of excellence that has been the hallmark of professional aviation training, preparing graduates to make a difference in every workplace and every nation. Specifically, RPAS students will become skilled operators, able to professionally navigate

the complicated industry while integrating their Christian virtue into their work. They will be encouraged to deal with substantive issues of drone use, including privacy, in a complicated and maturing legal environment, with integrity in operations, even when others may appear to be getting ahead by cheating the system. To encourage safety and protection of privacy, unmanned LETU flights will be conducted over land with restricted access – in most cases, private land with written permission from the land owner. This prevents passers-by from accessing the flight area (increasing safety) and also prevents private property owners from being captured on video or images without their knowledge. Teaching students to be mindful of safety and privacy while operating an aircraft professionally will continue to be the primary focus of the RemotelyPiloted Aircraft Systems program. Future graduates will enter a growing industry with skills and a sense of ethics that will set them apart and bring glory to God. LeTourneau University | 15

LETU Raises $30.5 Million in Historic Campaign LeTourneau University recently celebrated the successful completion of its first, university-wide, comprehensive campaign by exceeding its $27.5 million “For Such a Time as This” campaign goal. The campaign was historic as the largest comprehensive fundraising campaign in the university’s 70-year history. “When we started on this journey, we trusted a big God to help us reach a big goal —$27.5 million

22 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015

dollars, and now we celebrate that we not only have made that goal, but we have received and committed a total of over $30.5 million dollars!” said LETU President Dr. Dale A. Lunsford during the university’s campaign gala celebration Nov. 5 in the Allen Family Student Center, which is one of the buildings that was supported by the campaign. Prior to the evening’s banquet, LETU students showcased many of their projects for donors and

invited guests. The $30.5 million total was reached through gifts from nearly 5,000 donors from across the country. 31% of those donors were first time givers and nearly 30% were alumni. The successful fundraising campaign has enabled the university to provide funding for five of the pillars of its strategic plan, including 1) increasing endowed scholarships for students, 2) funding academic excellence research initiatives 3) expanding faith and work integration, 4) realizing much-needed campus improvements and 5) growing global service learning opportunities. LETU has been able to nearly triple its student scholarships, making a profound difference for families facing tough economic times. Increased faculty research funding and technology improvements in labs and classrooms have expanded handson learning opportunities. The campaign also enabled LETU’s Center for Faith and Work to host a Faith@ Work Summit in Boston this past year, and the CFW is currently planning next year’s Summit in Dallas. The Center helps to set LETU apart as a university where students don’t separate faith on Sunday from work on Monday. “When we do our work—the work that

LETU President Dr. Dale A. Lunsford greeted Mrs. Louise LeTourneau, widow of LETU’s former president Dr. Richard LeTourneau, who was the son of the university’s founders. Attending with Mrs. LeTourneau were her son, Caleb, his wife, Kathy (at his right), and daughter-in-law Virginia LeTourneau, wife of Mrs. LeTourneau’s son, Gil (not pictured).

God has called us to do—with excellence, we serve and honor Him, and are able to be ambassadors in the workplace, as salt and light,” Lunsford said. “With this in mind, we believe nonChristians can find Jesus in the workplace.” The campus improvements covered by the campaign include the new Sidney and Anna Lee Allen Family Student Center and the Joyce Family Athletic Village. The student center, built at the heart of the campus, LeTourneau University | 23

is where students meet, play, work together on school projects and seek tutoring, as well as just hang out and have fun. The athletic village includes improved soccer and baseball/softball facilities, including a 6,000 square foot field house. The athletic fields are where teamwork, sportsmanship and fitness are practiced and modeled for intramurals and LETU’s 13 NCAA Division III sports. The campaign enabled LETU’s international reach to grow, as the university has sent faculty and students abroad to use their ingenuity to impact the world, including building water wells in Senegal, making wheelchair improvements in Kenya and Guatemala, providing marriage counseling in Chile, sharing nursing education in Guatemala and civil engineering in Haiti. Generous funding has enabled $1,000 student engagement grants to encourage more students to consider a global experience as part of their college experience.

Dr. Aaron Kuecker Finding Kingdom Work in Every Vocation Written by Sara Schleicher. Photography by Janet Ragland

Shelves of books line the walls of Dr. Kuecker's office, a warm and inviting space. A comfortable leather couch has welcomed many students asking questions or seeking advice. He smiles warmly as he speaks about his students. "I love teaching, I will probably never love anything more than I love to teach, but I also love to dream big about Christian Higher Education. I'm taken by what is possible for Christian communities of learning," says Dr. Aaron Kuecker, Dean of the School of Theology and Vocation and Professor of Theology. "When we're intentional about what we do here at LeTourneau, really good and rich things happen." Kuecker grew up in the small town of Denver, Iowa. Like many college students, when he began his own undergraduate studies at Iowa's Central College, he had a career in mind, but not a real sense of calling. "I went to college to study political science and prelaw," says Kuecker. "But mainly I went because I wanted to play basketball." That choice led him to join a para-church organization called Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship. "I grew up in a Christian family, and Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship was the community in which my own faith came alive." It was during this time at Central College that Kuecker found his calling, as well. "I came to this spot where I couldn't really imagine doing something other than ministry." His undergraduate student experiences also planted in his mind the idea of becoming a college professor. "I had a couple of professors that helped me see what a faculty member could be in the life of a student," he said. "They were invested in my life and took my questions seriously. From my interactions with those professors, I thought that a good way to spend my life would be teaching at a college campus." After graduating from Central College in 1998 and spending seven years in local church ministry in Michigan, Kuecker began to earn his doctorate in New Testament Studies at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Kuecker served as an associate professor of Theology at Trinity Christian College prior to arriving at LeTourneau in 2013 as Director of the Honors College, as well as a theology professor. His role in the honors college enabled him to bring students together in an intentional community of learning and spiritual growth. For Kuecker, the School of Theology and Vocation

builds on that same community concept, but in a way that engages every student on campus. Built into every degree offered at LeTourneau is an opportunity for spiritual growth and for all students to explore their own vocations can impact the world for Christ. "It's really exciting to think about how the School of Theology and Vocation can offer its gifts broadly to the campus by sharing the idea of what we're trying to do as a university," says Kuecker. "We hope we can serve as a hub for the theological formation of our campus." Coupled with spiritual formation, the School of Theology and Vocation provides a forum for all LETU students to learn what it really means to connect faith and work. "All of our students are engaging the biblical narrative and theology of the church," says Kuecker. "But they're doing it with an eye on how this knowledge applies to their specific vocation. What is a civil engineer for? What is an accountant for in God's world?" These conversations force students to look beyond the traditional view of how faith and work coincide. "When most students initially think about what it means to be a Christian in their chosen field, they might describe that role as meaning you should be ethical, see your job as a place to practice evangelism, and do your job with excellence. "What we're trying to do, and what students can really see, is that there are ways that their work itself can be aligned with the things that God cares about and the things that are closely connected to God's kingdom. " This dialogue helps students understand how it's possible to intentionally make their work part of their Christian calling. "Students start to see that their work can be inherently very meaningful," he said. "An easy example is Jesus' concern with broken bodies. There are ways that the work of our nursing students or biomedical engineers is so deeply connected with that Kingdom concern with bodies and their health." Of course, before any growth or discovery can happen, students have to be ready to learn. And Kuecker sees this as an area where God has truly blessed LeTourneau. "One of the gifts that LeTourneau has is that, for whatever reason, there's a pretty special kind of student who shows up here," he said. "Students are very earnest - they want to learn, they want to grow, and they want to be a part of a vibrant community. I think that's actually a pretty unique gift that God has given this place."

Every Workplace. Every Nation.

Phil Burks: Serving Christ As A Business Owner Edited and photographed by Janet Ragland.

P

hil Burks of Tyler, Texas, graduated from LeTourneau College in 1974 with a degree in electrical engineering technology. Back in his days as a “Techo,” he and two others nearly single-handedly put KHYM, a 5000-watt gospel radio station on the air. Burks worked at the campus’ KLET radio station, then later called the YellowJackets basketball games for KRFO-AM, becoming a fulltime DJ there. During his junior and senior years of college, he was a news reporter for KLTV, the local ABC affiliate in Tyler. Today, he is the CEO and founder of The Genesis Group, a communications industry service company. How and why did you choose to attend LeTourneau?  When I was about 14 years old, my Sunday school teacher in Bristol, PA., told us of this magical place called Texas that he had just visited—a place where you can get your driver’s license at 15! He had our attention! He then told of a man named R.G. LeTourneau, who created a company in Texas, designing giant earthmoving equipment for the world. He told how R.G. gave 90% of his income to the Lord and kept 10% for himself. That stuck with me. So, when it came time to apply for college, I only applied to LeTourneau. I’m glad I was accepted! How did your experience at LeTourneau impact you? The true core of what I learned was the ability to begin and end something without quitting. I learned scientific thinking and creative problem solving. All of my professors encouraged what we now call ‘thinking outside the box.’ To this day, I’m known as a person who thinks differently about how to solve problems. I also learned how to mentor. My calculus professor had a heart for his students. A runner, he would run in the evenings from his Longview home back to campus to check in and help us understand our homework. He encouraged and listened to us. I

think if Jesus had been a math professor, he would have looked like that professor. How has the Longview campus changed since you were a student? I recently helped a childhood friend move his son into Thomas Hall and went to the wrong building twice! I am a bit nostalgic, because we had a lot of fun as the barracks were being decommissioned and deconstructed. We ‘borrowed’ boards and other material to make shelves and even elaborate bookcases. We would race bikes through the labyrinth of barracks. I love the look and feel of the campus today, though I do miss the ‘tree house’ type of fun we had. Tell us about your company. My wife, Bobbie, and I began The Genesis Group in 1989. She operated a PR firm, and I turned some personal-use software into a commercial product. We hired our first employee in 1992 and were scared to death, not knowing how we were going to pay him. He still works for us. The first 10 years were difficult, but like R.G., I had cut the word ‘quit’ out of my dictionary. Oh, I wanted to quit many times, but I couldn’t bail on the commitment I made to myself, God, my wife, and—in a strange way—to R.G. If Mr. LeTourneau

could do it, so could I. One day, I had $5,000 in bills to pay sitting on my desk and only $150 in the bank. I had no idea where the money would come from. I prayed hard and told God that if He wanted to shut it all down, it would be hard for me to understand, but I’d go along with it. Within 15 minutes, the phone rang with a consulting job worth exactly $5,000! R.G. experienced many similar events in his life. God simply asks for our willingness to let go and trust Him. Today, we have 56 employees in an ultramodern advanced technology building in Tyler, Texas. We also have an office in the United Kingdom and affiliates in Australia and Mexico. Our software helps manage and operate giant, two-way radio and public safety communications networks. Our software customer list contains many names we can’t share, but many start with “The City of…,” “The County of…,” The State of…,” “The Province of…,” and “The Country of….”.  Motorola, our largest customer, owns about 70% of the global market for two-way radio communications. We also have created software to more efficiently dispatch ambulances and other first responders, based on crowd-sourced traffic information from Waze. Much more can be seen at www.GenesisWorld.com Describe how you integrate your faith in your workplace. I have never been a person to beat Christ into anyone or guilt someone to love Him. I have been called to live Christ by example. While we do not discuss anyone’s beliefs during interviews, a majority of our employees are born again believers in Jesus Christ. We hire the right people with the right skill set for the job, no matter their beliefs. However, having so many believers in our company makes it a JOY to come to work, given that common bond. In our company-wide team meetings, it is clear that we are a praying company, and we want

40 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015

to know how we can pray for our employees and their families. In crisis situations, we have been known to send an email to all employees about an impromptu prayer circle for a specific need, and about 10 to 15 people drop what they are doing and show up to pray. We also teach our employees how to give. Last Christmas, we were able to give a larger than average bonus, and we asked our team members to consider giving 10% or more of that bonus to a charity or entity that helps those in need. When I was giving a tour of our building to some local Tyler firefighters in September of 2014, I told them that “This is God’s business, and I just show up each day and ask Him what I’m supposed to do.” About three months ago, I learned that one of the firefighters on the tour began asking questions of a fellow firefighter and has since asked Jesus into his heart. I love watching God work! What advice would you have for others who might be considering LETU? You can get an education most anywhere, but if you are looking for not only a place to think outside the box, but also a place that will ignite your curiosity to build a better box, LeTourneau is that place. Integrated learning is important—to apply what you are learning as you learn and get a team of hands involved in the process. Prospective students may not know exactly the calling God wants for the rest of their lives when they apply, but at LeTourneau, you will maximize every opportunity to learn what God has in store for you.
