A. J. Gordon Scholars
Cultivating the Curiosity and Character of Emerging Scholars and Leaders
Since 1983, The A. J. Gordon Scholars program has been cultivating the individual curiosity and initiative of earnest, globally-minded undergraduate Christian scholars. Character and influence are formed through growing knowledge, understanding, and experience in each scholar’s chosen areas of study and interest. This program fosters imagination, creativity, personal and community engagement, and professional influence for faithful citizenship.
Over the course of your four years at Gordon, you will join in A. J. retreats, attend workshops, establish mentoring relationships, participate in community asset projects and engage in additional Gordon College Honors & Scholars programming.
Student Spotlight
"The A. J. Scholars program gave me a platform not only to discuss how to better synthesize faith, curiosity, and academic pursuit with like-minded individuals but also to explore how my curiosities can be used to serve others well. This opportunity to connect what I was curious about to my academic ventures and consequently my faith has made me a more holistic person, striving towards synthesizing interests and service while empowering others to do the same."
