91福利社

Here at 91福利社, we believe you must have both. You only learn鈥攖ruly learn鈥攂y acknowledging the supremacy of God in all things, in all places, in all times and in all circumstances.

So, this is an edition of 91福利社 Magazine about knowledge鈥攕pecifically, what we call Great Academics. It is one of our foundational pillars, and, just like Great Faith, Great Hospitality and Great Purpose, it has formed the structure around which the AU experience was built, stands and continues to rise.

Why? Because, as Jesus said in his first recorded sermon, our house is built on solid ground. Part of that solid ground is the academic excellence and rigor our students seek, expect and see realized in and out of the classroom.

It鈥檚 realized in the experience of new graduate Emily Butts, who, as a student here, relished being imparted 鈥渨orld-class knowledge鈥� and exploring 鈥渉istoric answers to life鈥檚 biggest questions… (by) learn(ing) how to read and interpret Scripture and practice applying the Christian perspective to contemporary issues.鈥�

It鈥檚 borne out in the work of Dr. Hesham Elnakib, a former Egyptian Ambassador Extraordinaire hired last year, who is building at AU the first ethical diplomacy and leadership academic program鈥攏ot just in South Carolina, but in the United States.

It鈥檚 demonstrated in the work of a task force of University professors who have continued AU鈥檚 long-established history of innovation in the use of technology by creating a framework for faculty, staff and student use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, recognizing that it is just that: a tool that helps expand knowledge and the pursuit of Great Academics. It cannot鈥攁nd will not鈥攔eplace the God-breathed creation of the human mind.

We hope these and other stories will help you recognize that as 91福利社 enters its 115th year, our foundation remains the same.

Great Academics is a cornerstone. And it is as strong today as it has ever been.
