Theme Verse
Each year William Carey University chooses an annual theme that is designed to provide an idea for us to focus on and to unify the campus. The theme for 2021-22 comes from Psalm 46:10
"Be Still and Know..."
The world has been a chaotic place over the past year, and beyond. The need for reflection and introspection is felt by many. Our theme lends itself to the diverse needs of individual students, faculty, staff and administrators. Socrates expressed the need for self- understanding; “man, know thyself.” We are God’s creation and the search for self cannot be separated from the search for God. In an academic setting the emphasis is on knowledge and understanding of a vast array of material. Quiet reflection will lead to the realization that there is a connection between today’s preparation and tomorrow’s success.
