LETOURNEAU

UNIVERSITY YOUR PERSONAL AWARD LETTER

I am personally honored you’ve chosen LeTourneau University. As the dad of two college graduates, I know the process and number of choices that you have out there. You have visited campuses, researched online, compared and asked a ton of questions. And if, as part of this process, you have been introduced to the real LeTourneau University, you know the “why” behind the decision to become a YellowJacket. Our students come from 46 states and dozens of countries to build the next step in their lives. Like you, they are intelligent, creative and unique. And we’re personally committed to making each student story one of success. Here at LETU, experience transcends classrooms. Learning is hands-on and practical—it’s exploration, trying new things and trying familiar things differently. We want you to join this campus filled with energetic conversations, professors who know your name, exams set at a high bar and a student body that brings the world to class with them. Most importantly, we are concerned with the “why’s,” the eternal meaning that answers why we learn, why we care, why college is no end in itself, but the tool to get you the opportunities that really matter in life. LeTourneau is a unique place that is both radically passionate about our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, while never accepting less than the best in education. Here, our students work alongside engaging professors to build the life to which God has called them and to worship Him through excellent, ingenious work. College is an investment. Invest in one whose faculty and staff are called to invest in you. It is our greatest honor.

“I am so grateful for the world-class flight training I received at LeTourneau, but more so, to have been influenced by the exceptional faculty, staff members and students whose eyes were pointed beyond the skies to serve an even higher purpose.”

Claiming every workplace in every nation as their mission field, LeTourneau University graduates are professionals of ingenuity and Christlike character who see life’s work as a holy calling with eternal impact.

LeTourneau University’s mechanical engineering program gave me the ultimate set of knowledge and skills that enable me to build and experiment with as much of the world as possible. One of the highest points of my career with SpaceX was the first time we launched a rocket that I had been inside and helped put together. It’s amazing to know the work I had done in the previous months were pieces of the puzzle that ended up with a satellite high above the earth in orbit.”

“The four years I spent at LETU are a special time I will always cherish. The school of nursing prepared me by allowing me to have more hands-on experience in the hospital than any other nursing school in East Texas. The Christ-centered environment encouraged me and taught me how to speak about the gospel with my coworkers and patients. The professors truly cared for each of us as students and helped us individually to become excellent nurses before we entered the workforce. I would not be in the position I am in today without LeTourneau University and the LETU School of Nursing.”

“I learned lifetime skills on how to run and manage a business, which has been instrumental in my international fashion label. The knowledge gained from my courses provided a strong basis for the success of my fashion line. I especially appreciate the case studies and team presentations because this improved my public relations skills and helped me to build a great team.”
