“It’s imperative that businesspeople learn how to interact with others around the world. When I show interest in a person’s customs and culture, they’re more willing to open up in business and faith.”
“I learned quite a bit about myself and how to be a social worker. Missions trips were really impactful during my time at SAGU and into my adulthood.”
“SAGU prepared me for every area of my teaching career. My professors taught me how to manage a classroom, build professional relationships with colleagues and my students’ families, and live a Christ-centered life.”
