The Impact of Christ-Centered Campus Life

From the day Malone was founded in 1892, strong community has been a core value for daily life. In fact, Malone was strategically positioned in the heart of Canton in 1957 so the University community could serve Stark County on a deeper level.

Pioneers get to experience the blessings of a diverse, Christ-centered community through residential living, involvement in student organizations, and enjoying campus amenities. 

Here’s how students say this community has impacted them: 

“Living in Blossom Hall has taught me how to be an integral member of a community. What a unique opportunity it is to live in a dorm with other women who are all striving towards the same goal. Malone's community is so special -- it's intentional, life-giving, and it challenges you in all the best ways. Living in Blossom is by far my favorite part of my college experience! ”

“ I’m in my third year of living in Heritage Hall, and I can confidently say that it has helped mold me into the man I am today. The accountability and respect we share as brothers in the building is so unique and amazing. This is an experience that cannot be matched and is truly a blessing. ”

“Through serving as a course assistant, peer tutor, tour guide, and donor engagement ambassador, I’ve gained a sense of purpose as a leader. College isn’t just about earning my degree, but also how I can guide and support my peers. I know I’m developing real-world skills that will benefit my resume and contribute to the Kingdom of God.”
