Summer Classes at PIU Guam Campus

Even though we did not have many students on the Guam campus this summer, quite a lot was happening there. In the first summer session Sarah Brubaker taught an English class and Mike Owen taught public speaking. In the second session, which just finished up, Urte Scherer taught Prophetic Literature and Hartmut taught Missions. Nino Pate taught Math 102 (College Algebra) – the first time that course had ever been offered at PIU. Mike has also finished up the Study Skills course on line for the Yap Students. I will be finished with my New Testament Survey class for the seminary on Saturday.

In addition Mike, Sarah and Joey Charles have offered the PIU version of our English admissions and placement test several times on the campus. The higher turnout for these tests than expected gives me some hope that we could have more new students than we thought. Nino has also offered the new PIU math placement test several times. I have enjoyed getting to meet some of the potential new PIU students.

We are praying for an increase in our student body from the 100 students we had last year. Please join us in that prayer. The picture is of Samantha giving a demonstration to Mike’s public speaking students of how NOT to give a speech.
