Political Science

Tristan, CVCU Sophomore

"I want to bring the truths of God's Word back into the arenas of politics and government and turn America back to its founding principles. My CVCU experience has been extremely fruitful; I have formed great relationships with my classmates and professors, all while receiving an enriching, biblically-centered education. And I also appreciate that in our courses, we learn not just academic knowledge, but practical knowledge that we can apply to our lives or careers."
