The 2025 autumn issue of Olivet the Magazine is hitting homes soon and is available electronically here.
Take a look at these thoughts from the University President:
Dear Parents,
Welcome to the 2025 Parent Guide, a special issue of Olivet The Magazine published by Olivet Nazarene University. It wasn’t too many years ago that my wife and I were helping our own son gain insight into his Olivet future. I’m not just a president; I’m a parent. I know what you’re going through.
This magazine is designed specifically to assist you in navigating the college search process alongside your student and to provide information that will help you evaluate all aspects of university life.
Choosing the right college or university is a very important decision. The college search process can be vast, complicated, time-consuming and even stressful at times, so we hope you find this issue informative, useful, inspiring and reassuring. We also hope you embark on this journey with a sense of excitement for what you’ll soon encounter.
We believe Olivet can partner with the good work of parents not only in the logistics of admission but in shaping a student toward a worthy life. Our hope is to provide more than a professional credential. We also created an ecosystem for students to encounter God while at Olivet and discern His calling on their lives.
While we don’t require a profession of faith to enroll, and not all students have fully sorted out their faith, you and they will discover a winsome message and environment to make eternal choices while preparing for temporal professional ones. I pray for you — along with a dedicated team of faculty, staff and administrators — every Tuesday, for an hour, in Kelley Prayer Chapel.
I hope you schedule a time to visit our campus this summer or fall for either a personalized campus visit or for one of the many Purple & Gold Days events.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can be of any assistance. No matter where you are in the process, the entire Olivet community is with you in spirit and available to you should you have questions at any point.
Sincerely,
Gregg Chenoweth, Ph.D.
University President
