Both Ambassador College campuses are now in the midst of the spring break. The usual beehive of activity on the Pasadena campus is scheduled to resume next Wednesday, April 17th — when the College will again be back in session.
We have now completed the process of reviewing the applications of the upcoming two-year (A.A. and A.S.) graduates of Big Sandy and Pasadena who wish to continue in the four-year Bachelor of Arts program. Before making the final selections, college officials of the two campuses got together in order to make certain that we were making selections based on the same standards. We finally accepted a total of 166 students from both campuses into the Bachelor of Arts program at Pasadena.
Those AC students who have been chosen to go on into the four-year program were informed just before the spring break. We let it be known, however, that we hope to be able to accept others from among the two-year graduates, perhaps a year or two later.
I hope all of you ministers and your families had a blessed and happy Feast of Unleavened Bread. My wife and I were privileged to spend the Passover and the first day of Unleavened Bread with God's people in the Shreveport, Louisiana area. We very much enjoyed the fellowship with the ministers and brethren there. As usual, it was good to see God's people looking toward Headquarters, and it is always good to see those who lead in prayer include Mr. Armstrong in their prayers — that God will continue to guide, strengthen, protect and bless him as he faithfully leads God's Church forward toward the Kingdom of God.
God continues to bless His College in so many ways. A number of the coming May graduates have already been informed that they will be hired by the Church after graduation. Over 70 students were hired in 1983, and then another 70-plus in 1984. We don't yet know how many AC graduates will be hired after this coming graduation, but we hope God will see fit to use many of these very fine, dedicated young Ambassadors directly in the work of His Church.
I appreciate receiving many reports from you ministers — as well as from department heads, work supervisors and others — concerning the very fine example AC graduates are setting. Please continue to remember God's College in your prayers — that we would always go well beyond the "call of duty" in helping to train these fine young people to become excellent Ambassadors representing God's way of life in a sick and dying world!
