1 Chronicles 4:9-10 NLT

Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.

Success Measures: 

We must focus our efforts strategically on the kinds of students we attract and the kinds of people we send out to serve communities, the Church, and the world. 

• As a Christian university affiliated with the EFC-ER, we need to enhance the mission-fit of new students by increasing the proportion of students with church backgrounds as well as from Evangelical Friends churches in particular. 
• In alignment with our Pendle Hill Program, we also want to attract students who have a sense of calling so that we can help them to develop a clearer and stronger sense of calling over time. 
• Our efforts to increase the racial/ethnic diversity of our student body reflects a conviction that diversity is an intrinsic part of what it means to be a Christian university and a service-oriented university aligned with the needs of the workforce. 
• Our ultimate measure of success is how students are living after graduation. Students ought to be living out their callings through additional education, through service to their churches and communities, and through careers that are meaningfully connected to their education and formation during their time at Malone.
