Service is a gift that is paid for by compassion and love. Some people are lucky enough to grow up prominently while others struggle to have basic needs. The most heart-warming presentations of compassion come from those who faced adversity and made something of their hardships.
Meet Derreck Kayongo: He was born in Uganda and later fled the country with his parents to escape due to the mass killings and torture occurring in the country. He then transitioned from being a refugee, to a college graduate, and then a United States citizen.

Liberal arts education roughly translates into free thinking education. Defiance College is considered a liberal arts college because here students are encouraged to broaden their thinking and explore new aspects of life.
According to Tim Rickabaugh, Defiance College’s interim academic dean, “Liberal Arts is a thoughtful educational curriculum designed to produce broad-minded thinkers that can approach our world, and its issues, from a variety of perspectives.”
By thinking more broadly and considering things from multiple perspectives, students in this generation can begin making more changes in the world. Students can take classes outside of their major and develop more marketable skills future employers will like.
