> "For me, the most valuable takeaway that was embedded into all of my coursework at Dordt was the importance of instilling Christian values in our students. Throughout my studies at Dordt, I was consistently asked to dig deeper into my beliefs as a Christian and determine how I can put those beliefs into action to help my students become disciples of Christ. That's what sets Dordt University apart from the rest."
