Join us for the
2021 President's Honors
April 16, 2021.
President’s Honors is first and foremost a celebration — of God’s faithfulness, of donor generosity, and of all that makes MidAmerica Nazarene University’s mission worthy of unwavering, sacrificial support.
Because an in-person event of our typical size and magnitude won’t be possible due to COVID-19, this year’s President’s Honors will be much different than past events:
- Instead of transforming Cook Center into an elegant gala venue, we will be presenting the event entirely online from the Bell Cultural Events Center.
- Instead of charging $100 per person, everyone will have free access to the event online.
- Instead of opening our auctions only to attendees of our on site event, this year’s Silent Auction will be available to everyone with bidding starting on auction packages prior to the event on Monday, April 12.
- Instead of honoring people or organizations, the hour-long virtual event will honor significant moments over the past year that helped MNU navigate the pandemic and demonstrate a pioneering spirit to emerge stronger than ever.
- Instead of looking back at our historic past, we will give you a future glimpse at the Cunningham Center (currently under construction) and share some exciting new plans for other areas of our campus.
But not everything will change this year! You can expect to hear the MNU story told from the perspective of our students and faculty. This virtual experience will also feature musical performances from MNU choirs and bands, as well as mobile auctions and celebrations of generosity. Alumni and friends join corporate sponsors and community partners to reflect and celebrate the importance of MNU’s mission and the difference our students are making around the world.
We invite you to join us wherever you are on Friday, April 16, for the newest expression of President’s Honors!
Access to the event opens at 6:30 PM CST and the formal program starts at 7:00 PM CST.
We encourage all participants to join us by 6:45 PM CST at the latest in order to have time to register for the auction and review pre-event information.
