The SCIO Semester Programme brings outstanding students, giving them access to Oxford’s world-class libraries with over 13 million books. They meet regularly with acclaimed Oxford scholars, engage in scholarly discussions, and produce up to 15 essays while doing substantial undergraduate research during their one semester. Students in the Summer Programme, who benefit from the same library access, spend one month engaging with Oxford scholars in small group discussions and one-on-one tutorials and diving into the richest academic resources in the world.

Our institutions rely on the CCCU to be their voice in Washington, D.C. and around the world. Our government relations staff forms key relationships to ensure CCCU institutions have access to the right people and the right information at the right time – helping preserve, protect, and strengthen Christian higher education for generations to come. This advocacy includes work with Congress, the judiciary, and the administration on issues such as religious freedom, institutional autonomy, accreditation, financial aid, tax policy, immigration, prison reform, environmental stewardship, and more.

Professional development and leadership training for faculty and staff on CCCU campuses is critical to our mission of helping our institutions transform lives.

May 2025:

As the academic year comes to a close across our member institutions, we give thanks to God for His faithfulness through another season of learning, growth, and community. We celebrate with our recent graduates, who now step boldly into the world as ambassadors of Christ, entering the workforce, starting internships, studying abroad, and traveling this summer. May they carry the formation they’ve received and shine as lights where they are called.

We pray that these graduates go forward with purpose and peace, trusting in the Lord’s guidance for each step ahead. As Jesus said in Matthew 5:14–16, “You are the light of the world… let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” May their faith remain strong as they live out the calling God has placed on their lives.

We also lift up the students, faculty, and staff as they enter a new rhythm for the summer months. Whether engaging in summer classes, preparing for the fall, or simply taking time to rest, we ask that God would refresh and renew their spirits.

Finally, we pray for our CCCU staff in Washington, D.C., and around the world. May we continue to serve our institutions with wisdom and grace as we support the mission of Christian higher education and look ahead to the coming year.

Thank you for joining us in shaping the next generation of Christian leaders. Your impact reaches beyond the classroom—into communities, industries, and nations.
