The Bell

On October 4-5, 2024, Gordon College students, families, faculty and alumni gathered over the sunny autumn weekend to celebrate Homecoming together for the first time since Gordon’s seven new schools were announced earlier this year.  

As the 2024 presidential race enters the final stretch, Gordon alum Prashan De Visser ’08, founder of Global Unites, visited Gordon on September 18. He spoke about how such political divides can heal through the power of peacemaking as defined in Scripture, calling Christians to be catalysts for hope in the United States.  

To kick off Homecoming 2024, students, faculty, staff and alumni packed the A. J. Gordon Memorial Chapel to dedicate the Adams School of Music and the Arts through live music, dramatic readings, video and art.

Why does Gordon require such a strenuous achievement for students? Newly minted faculty member Abby Stroven explains the methodology behind La Vida and how it has impacted thousands of Gordon students for the better. 

Jess Pfohl ’14, who studied communication arts (with a concentration in film) and biblical studies at Gordon, helped develop, underscore and host Love is Blind: The Improvised Musical at this year’s Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland—the world’s premiere indie theatre festival.
