Dear Corban Community, Lately, I have found myself on my knees. In a nation torn apart by race, injustice, and anger, my heart has been heavy. I’ve struggled to find words to voice my prayers to God. Recently, I read David’s words in Psalm 69, and the aching he expressed is the closest I can come to describing the ache in my heart for our nation and the injustices in it.
On Thursday, February 20, the Salem Leadership Foundation (SLF) and Corban University teamed up to explore this question in a unique way. About 40 students, staff, and faculty members boarded a school bus and headed off-campus to tour the local community of Salem and see their city in a new light.

On Friday, November 22, over 70 professionals from the Salem community volunteered their time to assist with Corban’s 5th annual mock interviews. This year, over 85 students in the Hoff School of Business got to practice their interview skills in an environment that simulated the pressures and expectations of an actual job interview.
