Excited for the class of 2017!

Welcome back!  Did you know TFC is growing in numbers and alumni support?  Currently, the freshman class is the biggest class since the class of 2007, with a total of about 260 students!  Aside from all of that, our new president, Dr. Robert Myers (aka Dr. Bob), is working on some awesome projects both nationally and at the state level to give students the best education TFC can offer!

After a short interview with Dr. Bob, I found out a few things that I think incoming freshman should know about TFC because it’s exciting!

 First, Dr. Bob just got back from Washington D.C where he spoke with some US Senators!  He’s been working to protect our religious liberties, our financial aid opportunities and make our motto, “Where character is developed with intellect,” known throughout the state of Georgia and on national level too! 

Me and Dr. Bob are excited to see you for CPW!

The school is also adding brand new majors coming fall of 2013!  The first one is for students who already have some college credit; maybe they didn’t have time to finish thier degree, but now they can at TFC by receiving a general studies degree!  Another really exciting major is Sports management!  I am a Cross-cultural/business major myself and I have a passion for sports due to Cross-Country so I have actually been thinking about a minor in sports management!  

Recently, TFC received a donation and there is a new building on campus called the Leon-Gaffney Center. It’s a museum and it houses the offices for the Outdoor Leadership major.  There is also a new surprise for TFC athletes coming in the fall!  And the baseball team has also launched their own donation program!

Overall, Dr. Bob is really enthusiastic about TFC’s potential, and has a great vision for the upcoming years!  He even gave me a note of encouragement to pass along to all of you:  

“TFC is a special place that allows you grow in the knowledge of Christ, while obtaining a wonderful academic education. You really need to visit campus to see for yourself this remarkable community of learners. Once you visit I bet you'll be hooked! Take a chance and you just might change your life!”  Get excited class of 2017, you’re in for a treat!
