"The ASPIRE program was one of the best choices that I have made in my life. The ASPIRE program is a wonderful program to help working adults return to college, and it is very inspirational and motivational. It helps me in my everyday walk of life. Now when things attack me I can better handle the situations because of the things that I have learned in class. Our Learning Strategies instructor is truly sent by God. She is so spirit filled and an inspiration to the entire class."

"My Belhaven education gave me the assurance that Christian business leaders can definitely compete in today’s business world. The curriculum was presented in a way that convinces you to make all business decisions through prayer and meditation, and biblical references that help you determine what God’s will for your business is. I have recommended this program to all of my friends and business acquaintances that want to pursue a college degree."

"I had to take numerous bridge classes. My first class was Old Testament. It was wonderful. All of us in our project team shared spiritual experiences as we learned together. I’d been in management for years and I thought I’d always make ethical decisions. My Business Ethics classes made me realize that my decisions may not have been the choices that Jesus would have me make. Because of those classes, though a couple were repetitive, I always think twice before acting. I examine my motives and the effect my actions would have on my employees, peers, and customers."

"I think twice about a manager telling me to do something that may be unethical. I always suggest other avenues. I try harder to control my own actions and to do my best at everything."

I have attended four colleges and only Belhaven has addressed and fulfilled all of my needs educationally and spiritually. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend and graduate from the Adult Aspire Program."

"This week in the news we learned that a law officer was stealing money from a blind man that sells snacks at one of the justice buildings. When the media interviewed the blind man they asked how he felt about someone doing this to him given his condition. He replied, 'A man who has Jesus in his heart wouldn’t do that!' This is what Belhaven facilitated - there are things in this world that are contrary to the work of God and those things you just don’t do."
