Then she won a scholarship to finish her degree at Warner Pacific University – and suddenly she can imagine a future full of possibilities.

“When I received this scholarship, I cried because I knew that I needed financial support to help me pay for my school and at the same time, help me take care of my family,” she said. “Your gift has motivated and encouraged me to overcome obstacles in life to better concentrate on my studying.”

Khanh’s dream is to work with children in poverty, especially in parts of the world where healthcare is inaccessible. She is especially touched by those who are affected or injured in war. Thanks to a gift to attend Warner Pacific, she is now able to think beyond her own family and envision using her degree to help the world.

“This gift of education means more than enhancing our knowledge – it means becoming a better version of who we are from yesterday. Through my WP degree, I will be ready to build a greater society – one that is full of love, kindness, sharing, support and empathy,” said Khanh.

“From the bottom of my heart, I want to express my appreciate for the wonderful support you have given me.”

Creating Strong Roots for the Next Generation https://www.warnerpacific.edu/creating-strong-roots-for-the-next-generation/ https://www.warnerpacific.edu/creating-strong-roots-for-the-next-generation/#respond Thu, 29 Feb 2024 16:45:46 +0000 https://www.warnerpacific.edu/?p=41316

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)


Barbara Denton is one of those special people we are all hopefully lucky to come across at some point throughout our lives. Someone who helps others at every step, in both varied and supportive ways. Today, we are proud to recognize Barbara as a special patron whose life and work, dedication and sincere generosity have been a true blessing for the entire Warner Pacific community.  

Those fortunate enough to have spent any amount of time with Barbara will likely have heard about her and her family’s deep roots with the University. From traveling to many concerts and special events throughout the years to her constant support fervently and loudly cheering on the Knights at basketball games as proud season ticket holders. Barbara and her family have always had fun showing up to support the community and sharing their enthusiasm along the way. 

Yet Barbara and her family’s support runs much deeper than just cheering and applause. Along with her late husband Mark, Barbara founded The Mark and Barbara Family Foundation, which made possible a great number of student scholarships, thus enabling the strong roots for the next generation of students to develop a lifetime of dedicated faith, knowledge, and possibility. Through their foundation, Barbara and Mark have lived the example of planting trees and sowing seeds from which future generations could thrive. They have truly helped provide a strong foundation for the Warner Pacific family to thrive for generations to come. 

Through the years, Barbara’s dedication to the Warner Pacific family has been unwavering. “I have seen the impact that Warner Pacific has had on so many young people of faith,” she has said, adding that her family’s “roots run deep at Warner and we all have loved watching Warner Pacific grow over the years.” Their affinity and support for the students, staff and faculty has benefitted young and underprivileged students to achieve their education. Through her family’s efforts, they have helped craft the culture and ethos of the school. 

While many will remember Barbara as someone who frequently was in the crowd cheering on the Knights at sports games, we can all appreciate her consistent cheering of Warner Pacific and its mission to help people of faith find, explore and live their true purpose. Perhaps a simple passage sums up Barbara and her family’s dedication: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15) Or in Barbara’s own words, “For me and my family, supporting Warner Pacific is part of a family tradition.”

We are all lucky to have her in our fold. Please join us in recognizing and thanking Barbara for her incredible support, generosity, and inspiration.

Caring for Our World: WPU Helps Connect Refugees to Services https://www.warnerpacific.edu/caring-for-our-world-wpu-helps-connect-refugees-to-services/ https://www.warnerpacific.edu/caring-for-our-world-wpu-helps-connect-refugees-to-services/#respond Thu, 29 Feb 2024 16:45:36 +0000 https://www.warnerpacific.edu/?p=41313

Each year hundreds of legal refugees and legal immigrants are resettling in the Northwest, seeking safety and a chance at a new life. Through a partnership with Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) and the Lutheran Community Services Northwest (LCSNW), WPU was honored to surround refugees with welcome and support during one of the hardest times in their lives. A recent resource fair held on our campus provided avenues for refugees and immigrants to become self-sufficient, thriving members of their new communities.

Through a combination of attendees and vendors, more than 700 people gathered to provide local resources including help with legal services, education, medical help, employment and culturally specific networks stemming from such partners as CareOregon, Easter Seals, the Department of Human Services, the Afghan Support Network and many more. Most attendees originated from Afghan, Somali and Ukrainian communities and many families brought young children. In addition to services, organizers arranged for special crafts and games for kids, as well as cultural performances, to ensure the event was a positive experience for the whole family.

“We were treated to Cambodian, Burmese, and Eastern European traditional dances, as well as Eastern European and Middle Eastern instrumental concerts,” said Morgan Anderson, WPU Event Coordinator. “People not only received critical help to start their lives but were celebrated in ways that joyfully honored their cultures. We were so pleased to play a role in providing a welcoming, supportive place to connect.”

Video Games Teach STEM Skills to Area Youth through WPU’s New Esports Program https://www.warnerpacific.edu/video-games-teach-stem-skills-to-area-youth-through-wpus-new-esports-program/ https://www.warnerpacific.edu/video-games-teach-stem-skills-to-area-youth-through-wpus-new-esports-program/#respond Thu, 29 Feb 2024 16:45:22 +0000 https://www.warnerpacific.edu/?p=41309

What do the words “video” and “game” bring to mind? For many, it means mindless entertainment staring at a screen and fighting bad guys. In recent years however, more and more academic programs are seeing video games in a new light – particularly for teaching STEM skills (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Contrary to the perception, today’s video games are interactive mediums that force gamers to solve problems, engage in critical thinking, calculate risk, conduct experiments, and work as a team.

Warner Pacific University is partnering with local middle school and high schools to bolster STEM skills through its new Esports program, just launched last year. WPU is hosting STEM Camps for youth throughout the spring and summer, inviting kids ages 11-17 to complete unique challenges in a virtual environment – all while having fun with their peers. The camps are also a great opportunity for WPU college students who are members of the Knights’ Esports team: they can earn extra income by serving as coaches and mentors to the younger kids.

Recently STEM Esports camp students took on the challenge of creating a virtual parade float together, using the game “Minecraft.” Sometimes called a “sandbox game”, Minecraft provides digital images of blocks, creatures and communities that allow the player to create entire worlds. Blocks can be broken, crafted, and reshaped to build fantastic creations – but each requires a test of logic and creativity. Starting this month, students will next work together on constructing a moving roller coaster!

WPU’s Esports program is a thriving sport on campus. Located on the first floor of the Library, the Esports lab is open to all students who would like to contribute to the team or just give it a try. Open gaming is open to all on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5-7pm and Thursdays from 1-2pm. A second location in the Tabor Grind Coffee Shop offers open hours on the first and third Mondays of the month from 12 to 1pm.

WPU welcomed Katie Hart as its first-ever Esports Coach last fall and she has quickly built a team of players that earned the Championship in its first year of inception. Her philosophy is that anyone can benefit from the technological literacy, memory and strategic thinking that Esports provides.

“There is not a ceiling or a floor for the skill level,” Coach Hart says. “If you want to show-up, play and meet people, you’re welcome to be part of our team. Everyone is welcome in the world of gaming!”

Remembering Coach Bernie Fagan – a WPU Legend https://www.warnerpacific.edu/remembering-coach-bernie-fagan-a-wpu-legend/ https://www.warnerpacific.edu/remembering-coach-bernie-fagan-a-wpu-legend/#respond Thu, 29 Feb 2024 16:45:11 +0000 https://www.warnerpacific.edu/?p=41305

Bernie Fagan was a true expert with a soccer ball, but he was equally an expert with people, too. Throughout his life, he combined these two impressive skills to create a legacy that greatly benefited both Warner Pacific and Portland as a whole. Beyond his winning records, Bernie’s humor, kindness, and positive effervescence lifted the spirits of all those around him. He strove to live his life as all good teammates and coaches do: with a constant commitment to back up his fellow players on the field or in life. And he always did it all with a smile on his face. 

While Bernie is now regarded as a local legend, he began his life and career in Sunderland, England. There, he rose through the ranks of the Youth Team of his beloved local Sunderland club where he helped them win the prestigious FA Youth Cup at Wembley Stadium. Soon after, he moved to the US to join the burgeoning NASL at the same time as Pele. He soon settled in Portland to join the Timbers, back when the pitching mound and bases of the old Civic Stadium were ever-present obstacles all the players had to navigate. 

But his story and career did not end when his playing days were over – for the Lord had special plans for Bernie. Instead, he became a celebrated coach. From local summer camps with Portland youth to becoming the International Director for Special Olympics Soccer, Bernie had a passion for fostering the skills, confidence, and enthusiasm of young soccer players everywhere. And, of course, he made sure they had fun while they developed. 

For 26 years Bernie coached soccer at Warner Pacific University. He brought his passion to WPU, building a burgeoning idea into a nationally-ranked sports team. He built up the program, the players… and ultimately more coaches. For Bernie’s passion and enthusiasm meant he wanted to share what he’d found with others. To do this, he worked to help former players become coaches in their own right. With the central idea that the score was not the most important thing, he urged his players and coaches to learn something every practice, every game, and every day.

To do this, he created the Oregon Soccer Academy, bringing in many of his former college players to coach. In doing so, his impact and love of the game multiplied exponentially and throughout the area. It’s perhaps no surprise that Portland is now known as “Soccer City, USA.” 

Today, we can all see the impact of Bernie’s life when passing by Providence Park as the Timbers play, or simply in walking through a park where kids, coaches, parents, and more share the love of a simple game kicking a ball. 

Please consider making a contribution to the Bernie Fagan Memorial Fund. Started by his loving wife Susie and family, this fund will ensure that future student-athletes will be able to receive critical financial support to stay in school and compete for their dreams. 

Please contribute today by clicking here or call WPU Advancement at 503-517-1220.

You have the power to extend Bernie’s legacy of love and hope for the next generation.

Bernie made us all feel like part of the same team. And that’s something we’ll never forget – any of us. Thank you, Coach Bernie.

February President’s Message https://www.warnerpacific.edu/february-presidents-message/ https://www.warnerpacific.edu/february-presidents-message/#respond Thu, 29 Feb 2024 16:44:54 +0000 https://www.warnerpacific.edu/?p=41299

Dear WPU Community,

Here’s a story for you: Once upon a time there was a young man who attended Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was a rising Honors Student, with big dreams of becoming a teacher someday. One day during the onset of his Junior year, he had the opportunity to participate in a research experience at UNC Chapel Hill in the summer of 1993. Afterwards he lived in the Honors College throughout the remainder of summer. Since there were few others on campus, he was called upon to give a tour to a particular incoming Freshman who was also interested in joining the Honors College. There was something about her eyes… Later when she started at the University, he found himself in the same Orientation Course with her, and then later served together in Student Government roles. This fall, they will celebrate 25 years of marriage, two beloved sons – one attending Campbell University and the other Morehouse College, and a lifetime of co-service in education guided by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Sometimes February is referred to as “the month of love” and as you may have guessed, this story is about my own love story with my wife, Shemeka. I love to reflect on those days because it reminds me of the plan God had for my life even back then, knowing before I could possibly imagine that when I looked into that young girl’s eyes that day in the summer of 1993, I was meeting my teammate in life. I am tremendously blessed by my wife, who is an incredible community leader, an accomplished professional, and the very best mother to our sons – among many other qualities. I thank God for the gift of my marriage to this woman every day.

So it may come as a surprise to you to learn I feel much less strongly about Valentine’s Day itself. Though Hallmark may benefit from the flurry of cards and candies during February, I can’t bring myself to feel differently about this month than all the rest. Why? Because in Christ, EVERY month is “the month of love.” Because of His sacrifice, we know a love that exceeds all imagination…and that it is our ongoing gift to grasp “how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ…” (Ephesians 3:18). The notion of love is just too big to fit into a single day or single month!

But since February is still a reminder of love for many, I’ll use the opportunity to share another love story: Love is the root of our nearly 100-year-long mission at Warner Pacific University. Out of love, we endeavor to serve all who come to us with a path that honors the calling God has placed inside each and every one of our students, and to support them in their journeys to become who it is they can become in the light of Christ. Love is also what allows us to do our jobs….your love, your support, your prayers for this mission are what sustains us in ways that fundamentally allow us to persist.

Thank you so much for the ongoing love you show our special learning community. Please enjoy all the examples of God’s love on display in this e-newsletter, and feel free to reach out to me at any time.

 In Christ,

Brian L. Johnson, Ph.D.
President
Warner Pacific University

Meet Hannah Stone! A Junior Digital Media and Communications Major and Softball Player https://www.warnerpacific.edu/meet-hannah-stone-a-junior-digital-media-and-communications-major-and-softball-player/ https://www.warnerpacific.edu/meet-hannah-stone-a-junior-digital-media-and-communications-major-and-softball-player/#respond Tue, 16 Jan 2024 21:54:02 +0000 https://www.warnerpacific.edu/?p=41135 We are excited to introduce you to our student spotlight this month, Hannah Stone! 

Hannah is a junior and transfer student this year majoring in Digital Media and Communications. When asked how she decided upon her area of study, she recalled a class she took in middle school, Video Announcements, where she instantly fell in love. This sparked her interest to take a Video Broadcasting class in high school where she learned about filming, editing and live streaming. 

“I’ve always enjoyed writing and have had many teachers compliment me on my work,” Hannah said. “I originally wanted to be a film major, but my junior college didn’t offer that, so communications was the next best thing.” 

Over time she also gained an interest in social media and creating content online, which was a large reason for her transfer to Warner as a digital media major. 

When looking for a perfect college, Hannah mentioned her priority was finding a school where she felt was a good fit for her academically and athletically. Hannah plays softball for the Knights as a pitcher and second baseman.  

“I wanted to find a school that didn’t feel too overwhelming — but would also challenge me and help me grow,” she said. “Warner Pacific has been very welcoming and is a perfect fit for my goals.” 

Although she’s been at Warner for only a semester, she feels as if she has been part of this community for a long time—often the case for many of our students.  

“My favorite thing about Warner is the small class sizes. I like that I have a better connection with my classmates and my professors. I also really like the number of opportunities there are such as internships, on-campus jobs and service hour work.” 

We are so proud of Hannah and excited to see her play her first season of softball with the Knights! The first game of the season is on Sunday, February 11th at Pacific University. Come out and watch her shine!

From Alaska’s Wilderness to the World of Education: Doug Hamilton ‘65 and His Journey Through Warner https://www.warnerpacific.edu/from-alaskas-wilderness-to-the-world-of-education-doug-hamilton-65-and-his-journey-through-warner/ https://www.warnerpacific.edu/from-alaskas-wilderness-to-the-world-of-education-doug-hamilton-65-and-his-journey-through-warner/#respond Tue, 16 Jan 2024 21:43:34 +0000 https://www.warnerpacific.edu/?p=41130 Growing up on a remote homestead outside Palmer, Alaska in the ‘60s, college didn’t cross Doug Hamilton’s mind. The realities of the short growing-season meant grueling days while the harsh winters made survival a full-time job.  

“I missed three months of school a year,” he recalls. But God intervened when Doug’s church offered to fund a term at WPU. 

“I had no idea where Warner Pacific was,” he explains. “But I figured they’d have running water, flush toilets, and clean towels.” So, two days later, he flew to Portland, where the fall semester was already underway. 

At Warner, Doug discovered his passion for reading and writing and decided to major in language arts. Additionally, he received a minor in speech and drama. He notes that he was initially too timid to voluntarily participate in speech and drama classes. He states: “However, I had exemplary teachers and colleagues that extended support and encouragement, and who guided me.” 

Speech and drama soon became Doug’s priorities, and he began traveling to churches in the Portland area to perform short, faith-based dramas during worship services. Doug, and a team of three student performers, would arrive early to the service to set up stage lighting, present the drama, and then answer questions about Warner Pacific.  

In addition, Doug was an active member of the community where he was the President of the Hiking Club for several years, with Dr. Warner Monroe serving as Faculty Advisor. Together they led walks and hikes (including a climb up Mount Hood) in the scenic forests in the Portland area. 

Doug Hamilton ’65 and his college sweetheart, Susan La Velle Hamilton ’68

During his time at Warner Pacific, Doug encountered an abundance of influential people who encouraged and believed in him until he learned to believe in himself. In no order, he spoke highly of Milo Chapman, Kenneth Crose, Ulrich Hardt, Dale Mark, Wilma Perry, and Tom Smith who contributed to his success and achievements.  

Faith played a pivotal role during his years at Warner. “I benefited from interactions with devout students and staff and the weekly chapel services which often featured speakers from around the world,” he says. Doug also taught Sunday school classes to college students at his home church, Woodstock.  

After graduating from Warner in 1965, Doug began his career in education by filling in for one of his own professors, Dale Mark, who was taking a sabbatical to earn his doctoral degree. Doug was employed to teach Dale’s speech and drama classes while he was away.  

In 1970, Doug felt a calling from God to begin a new chapter and transferred to Evergreen School District in Vancouver, WA. During his 38 years in Evergreen, he worked as a high school teacher, manager of the library program for the district, introduced instructional technologies into the classrooms, secured cable television for the district, assisted in designs for new schools, led staff development workshops, produced educational programming for television, and served in community relations. “I am deeply thankful for my challenging and fulfilling 43 years in the field of education,” he says.  

When reflecting on his college journey, Doug offers advice for current students: “This is a pivotal period in one’s life and career as you move from home and become your adult self. Be your best and strongest self. Seek to expand your academic and spiritual vision. Love one another as God loves you. Learn every day and give thanks always.”
