Inauguration

Up and Beyond

• Let us live up to our potential as we dream together of a decade that goes beyond all expectations.
• Let us rise up and go beyond the call of duty.
• Let us look up and ask God to do beyond all that we can ask or imagine.

Up and Beyond . . . the phrase encapsulates much of the University’s truly global vision statement: Taylor University seeks to become one of the world’s premier Christian universities of evangelical faith.

Viewing the coming years as a decade of transformation for Taylor University, we invite you to join with us in the journey that will lead us up and beyond.

Important Note

After prayerful consideration and discussion, Taylor University officials decided to proceed with the inauguration of Dr. Eugene B. Habecker as scheduled at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, April 28, 2006 in the Odle Arena.

Our decision was based upon our desire at the time especially to renew our commitment to one another as a Christ-centered faith community and to honor the memories of the students and staff members involved in the tragic accident of Wednesday, April 26, 2006.

We desired to bring our students, faculty, staff and honored guests together, perhaps not with the original sense of celebration and anticipation we had planned, but rather as a demonstration of an intentional commitment to one another and to those things to which Christ has called us.
