Covenant College
Bachelor of Science in Organizational Management,
April 2000
"In all things...Christ Preeminent" Colossians 1:18 Chris began his college career in earnest when he enrolled in Covenant College, a private Christian College located at the top of beautiful Lookout Mountain, Georgia. It was here that Chris mastered the academic foundation that would lead him successfully through his graduate degree and, at least thus far, through his doctorate. Chris was so impressed with Covenant College (the Quest Program) and its Christ-centered philosophy, that he returned to it as an adjunct professor after earning his Master’s Degree. Students in the Quest Program at Covenant College are put through a rigorous academic program, but they are also reminded of how the ethics of management and, indeed everything they will do professionally, should be guided by their faith. As a Christian, Chris enjoyed the balance of tough academics in a faith-based setting. Chris graduated from the Quest Program at Covenant college with a perfect 4.0 GPA. |
