“Thank you to all the donors who have been so

generous in their support of Cornerstone. Your gifts will have tangible effects on our

campus and students!”

hIllARY mAson, sophomoRe

“I am so incredibly thankful for the donors because I know what a tough time most people are having

economically, still they have a generous heart and are striving to help. It’s encouraging to see that

they are giving, knowing that God will provide or giving knowing

that God has blessed them.”

AlexIAnA stump, FReshmAn

“I am grateful for the donations because they help improve our wonderful campus, and because they provide an opportunity

to attend this school at less cost than if they hadn’t donated. [During the Student

phonathon] I enjoyed connecting with alumni because it helps me see how

graduates can actually use their Cornerstone degrees in their careers. It gives me hope for my own future, that I will be able to apply

my degree to a career, to make an impact on this world as a Follower of Christ.”
