"College provides such a unique opportunity to begin 'adulting' before you become a fully established adult," said Cameron Gregory, materials joining engineering senior from Houston, Texas. Active in his home church, playing keyboards and leading the youth worship team, he said he expected to grow academically in his field of engineering, but found growing academically in his faith along with engineering was equally transforming.

"At this point now, I can definitely say that an academic look at Scripture has made a huge impact on my life," he said.

Gregory spent last summer interning as a worship team member for 10 weeks in Alaska facilitating high school groups on week-long, construction-based mission trips.

"I got to see the tangible impact of God's presence as prayers were answered, people's lives were altered, and God's Kingdom was built," he said. "I could talk about my summer for a long time. The experience was an opportunity that I got through LETU!"
