Thank You Spring 2016!

USP’s Spring 2016 semester has come to a close, but we know that our students’ learning is only just beginning! They are going home with new stories, new perspectives and new family members in their hearts, and now begins the process of integrating that newness into their lives at home.

To each of our students this semester –

We send you off with blessings and prayers and excitement for the beautiful work you will do in each of your futures! Here are a few pieces of the incredible growth and beautiful community you’ve experienced this semester that we hope you'll take with you!
