Empowered to make an impact

Dr. Crystal Effler-Foles
Associate Professor of Education

My family and I chose Greenville University because it was clear that this campus is making an impact. Individuals who attend or teach at GU are afforded an opportunity to transform their character and better connect with Christ in a way that is much different than any other religious institution I have had the privilege of attending or teaching for. As a professor, I feel that my craft is respected and that I have an opportunity to fellowship with students while they progress through their studies. I am not just their teacher; I am afforded the opportunity to mentor and minister to each of my students. This provides a more personal approach to teaching and helps the student leave with a support system that they may not have had during their first few years of teaching.
