Riverside Campus Held Convocation to Kick off the Fall 2016 Quarter
Riverside Campus held the 2016 Convocation on September 23rd to dedicate the start of the new school year to God and to kick off the Fall 2016 quarter.
Convocation speaker Dr. Matthias Gebhardt, Olivet University Vice President, recalled the history of Olivet University which was established as a Bible college named the Olivet Theological College & Seminary (OTCS) in 2000. OTCS developed quickly, necessitating several major changes to accommodate the school's diverse student body.
In 2004, Olivet University was incorporated and established multiple departments, each offering different degree programs. Dr. Gebhardt also laid out future plans for Olivet University to open 153 campuses worldwide and develop the online education so that many can pursue biblical studies from where they are.
Riverside campus dreams of greater developments in this new school year in various aspects, from program offering to student life.
