Guam - It used to be that one had to travel over 8,000 miles to get a quality Christian education. But that's no longer the case the with the Pacific Islands University, also known as the Pacific Islands Bible College. President Dave Owen says the name change came with the addition of undergrad programs in liberal studies.

"We are accessing a different part of the Guam community - the church community, the school community, parents who want their children to have a distinctively Christian education. This is a good place to send their kids," he explained.

Island leaders including former governor Felix Camacho and DYA director Adonis Mendiola were invited to the Mangilao campus this afternoon where Owen talked about his hopes to grow enrollment from the present 85 students to 200 as well as his plans to expand the campus.

PIU is enrolling for summer and fall semester. For more information, call 734-1812.
