Trinity Lutheran College

Over the past three years, I have had the privilege of teaching at Trinity Lutheran College in Everett.  A family friend sat on the board of directors and referred me to the college when they were looking for someone to teach a Business Information Systems course.

The college was never very large, and unfortunately, it became obvious that the enrollment numbers could not support the institution.  The last graduating class was matriculated on May 8th, 2016.

The class project was to design, produce and sell a t-shirt of their own choice.  The students put up the money and were able to keep the profits.  There were many good designs for the t-shirts, from a 12th Man, WoT Clan, Euro design, Psychology, local clubs and the last year, a farewell Trinity shirt.  The objective was to teach the students something about logistics, project planning, information gathering, finance, and sales.  Most students learned that they ran out of time and had to do too much at the end, not much different from real life.

I enjoyed teaching the class and I'm sorry to see the college close.  God has his plans for the faculty, staff and students, even if we don't know what they are as of yet.
