The Bright Futures Campaign is continuing with a new (and final) phase that will focus on a new Athletics Complex and Stadium.

President's Honors
Launched in 2012, President’s Honors has quickly become MNU’s premier event of the year and a vital source of support for the university. President’s Honors is first and foremost a celebration — of God’s faithfulness, of donor generosity, and of all that makes MidAmerica Nazarene University’s mission worthy of unwavering, sacrificial support.
Since 2012, the President’s Honors event has created a generosity movement at MNU, raising more than $6 million for student scholarships and other university projects through event sponsorships, auction purchases, and ticket sales.
