David Hamilton (International Associate Provost of the University of the Nations) has said that the College of Arts & Sports is the fastest growing college within the University of the Nations. That’s something to celebrate!

At the end of 2009 the new website for the College of Arts & Sports was launched. This website, designed by Warren Overbeeke, successfully integrates the primary disciplines within the CAS into eight sub-sites. Each sub-site offers a social network, news, photos, videos, files and chat functions to promote networking more broadly than ever. 

These sub-sites include: Music, Worship, Dance, Performing Arts, Fine Arts, Film & Media, Photography, and Sports. So far each of the sites feature prominently on all the major search engines, providing easy access to inquirers who may be looking for a YWAM course, more information, opportunities and fellowship. It’s also quickly becoming a beehive of connection between YWAMers, fostering better communication and resource-sharing. Current College of Arts and Sports schools and courses are displayed on each site with eye-catching advertisements and links, helping prospective students find the school they are looking for easily. 

The College of Arts & Sports faculty also has some new faces, reflecting the expansion and multiplication of the associated courses and schools. The International College Committee will soon be listed on this site with links for a more personal point of contact.

In recent months, a worship publishing company called “Consuming Worship” has approached YWAM North America with the interest of producing a nationally distributed worship CD that allows the worship of YWAM to influence the churches. This is an amazing opportunity for us as a mission to have greater access to the church as our worship music and spirit is exposed to a larger audience.
