    "R"​- perpetuate conditions for spiritual revival so compelling it spreads across our region
    "E"​ serve our students and each other with such excellence we surprise them, and we earn an encore
    "A"​ improve campus aesthetics with $25 million in designated projects, and
    "T"​ testify more broadly to who we are and what God is accomplishing among us through social and traditional media, the Web, and any other means to transition from well regarded - little known to well regarded well known.
