14 I am also continually encouraged by the DBU Family. Our faculty and staff serve with a genuine sense of calling and purpose. This is more than a job, it is a shared commitment to excellence and a deep love for investing in students that makes this community truly special. Another great encouragement are our DBU alumni. Many remain actively involved on University Hill, serving as faculty, giving generously, and supporting the mission in meaningful ways. Whether in ministry, business, education, healthcare, or public service, DBU Patriots carry this mission into every sphere of life, and it is a joy to witness the lasting impact of their calling. As we look ahead to the next chapter for DBU, what is your greatest hope and vision for the future of this institution and the next generation of Patriots? My greatest hope is that DBU will continue to be a place where Jesus Christ is exalted in every aspect of university life, and where students are prepared to lead with conviction, compassion, and a pursuit of the glory of God. We are living in a time that calls for leaders grounded in truth, equipped with godly wisdom, and committed to servant leadership. My vision is that DBU will continue to raise up graduates who are not only professionally prepared but spiritually anchored in the Gospel and committed to seeing transformation in the name of Jesus. Looking ahead, I believe the Lord is positioning DBU to serve as a beacon of Christ-centered higher education with an even greater reach. Our success is not measured by numbers alone, but by faithfulness to the calling God has placed on this institution. If we remain faithful, I am confident He will continue the work He has begun here in ways beyond what we could ask or imagine. Over the past 10 years, what lessons has the Lord taught you personally through serving as President of DBU? One of the most significant lessons the Lord has taught me is the importance of daily dependence on Him. Leadership brings opportunity, but it also brings challenges, and I am continually reminded that true wisdom, strength, and clarity come from God alone. I have also been reminded of the value of humility and the need to surround myself with wise, godly counsel. No one leads alone, and I am deeply grateful for those the Lord has placed around me who offer guidance, encouragement, and accountability. Every day presents opportunities not only to pour into others, but also to see God at work in the lives and relationships He brings across our path. I am especially thankful for friendships that have grown out of those divine connections. The Lord has reinforced in me the importance of faithfulness over outcomes. While it is easy to focus on results, our calling is to be faithful stewards of what has been entrusted to us and to trust Him with the outcome. During the past decade, what has life on University Hill looked like for your family and how have you navigated the balance between the demands of the presidency and family life? Life on University Hill has been a tremendous blessing for the Wright family. DBU is not simply a place where I serve; it is a community where we have lived, grown, and built meaningful relationships. Candice and I have had the privilege of being deeply engaged in the life of this campus for many years, and it has been especially meaningful to watch our daughters, Abigail and Kate, grow into strong young women of character, grounded in their faith, and pursuing the paths God has set before them. Balancing the responsibilities of the presidency with family life requires intentionality and discipline. There are seasons that demand significant time and attention, but by God’s grace, I have sought to remain present with my family, remembering that my first calling is to lead well as a husband and father. I am deeply grateful for a supportive and loving family who shares this calling to serve at DBU. In many ways, our journey on University Hill has been a shared one, and together we are grateful to call ourselves DBU Patriots. As DBU looks ahead, President Adam C. Wright remains focused on faithfully stewarding the University’s mission and preparing future generations to serve Christ through their callings. With gratitude for the past and confidence in God’s leading, he continues to look toward the future with hope, trusting that the same faithfulness that has guided DBU over the last decade will carry the University forward in the years to come.
