Building a Transformational and Collaborative University
February 25, 2021
A 10-minute drive from the Azusa campus transports the traveler into the middle of the Angeles National Forest, with its foothills full of biodiversity and meandering rivers. These rivers and the surrounding landscape transform and adapt over time due to the natural process of erosion, sedimentation, and even forest fires. Back on the APU campus, our rich university ecosystem includes a diverse community of faculty, staff, and students, representing different backgrounds, experiences, talents, and expressions of the Kingdom of God. In light of this unique institutional tapestry, APU is proactively responding to our ever-changing environment by transforming practices, process, and, in turn, people who impact the world for Christ.
