A King’s education involves becoming a person marked by courage, fortitude, and character. It is these individuals who will offer principled leadership in society’s strategic institutions. Honor governs every aspect of life at King’s and fosters an environment of trust, honesty, and integrity.
Students at The King’s College have a great deal of freedom. We do not control behavior through a heavy-handed penal code. That is not to say that we do not have high standards. We do. In fact, every King’s student, faculty and staff members makes a pledge to uphold the Honor Code.
As parents, I thought you would like to know more about this crucial aspect of your son or daughter’s development. You can do just that by reading a white paper by David Leedy, Dean of Students, exploring the biblical underpinnings of how we think about honor. Click

The King's College Republicans: After One Semester
 The King’s College Republicans hit the ground running this year for their first semester in action. Led by Chairman Travis Drost, Executive Director Jeremy Cerone, Finance Director Christian Stempert (Bonhoeffer sophomore), Recruitment Director Tim Wainwright, and myself as Communications Director, the organization held campaigning events, gatherings, information sessions, and more. This semester, we were pleased to welcome Dr. Matthew Parks as our Faculty Advisor. Dr. Parks brings a wealth of political knowledge to the table, and will be an invaluable asset to our team. The majority of the credit for the successes of the semester should be given to the enthusiastic freshmen we have involved in our College Republicans organization. Their dedication has allowed TKCR to thrive. Many men of Bonhoeffer have been closely involved with TKCR activities throughout the semester.

The film, titled “Chris and Jeremy,” revolves around the lives of Bonhoeffer freshmen Christopher Hanson and Jeremy Hinen (me!). Shot over the course of two days and produced entirely by Bonhoeffer freshmen, the film is an allegory of “Tradition vs. Innovation” and was entered in this year’s first Interregnum Film Competition.

Academia tends to place the greatest value on one form of expression: the paper. Often written by scholars far advanced in their field of study, these research papers and dissertations address a variety of topics ranging from aboriginal eating habits to the scandalous life of a second-rate Enlightenment philosopher. It is no wonder that some people dismiss intellectuals as locked up in their ivory towers. Few people see any relationship between these specialized topics and everyday interactions. Others fail to understand why academia gives no credence to other expressions like music, poetry, or literature. These two accusations highlight a severe disconnect between the university and the citizenry.

King's Basketball Coach Inspires NY Giants
 NEW YORK– It’s Dec. 23. It’s a week after their worst loss ever. And it doesn’t look like the Giants are going to make it to the Superbowl this year. Then suddenly, everything changes.
On Christmas Eve, the Giants struck down the Jets 29-14 and leapt into the running for a shot at the 2012 Superbowl. Dec. 23 is an important date because it was the day TKC Basketball Coach Gian Paul Gonzalez addressed the Giants to go “all in.”

“My message was basically all in,” 28-year-old Gonzalez said in an interview with Fox and Friends last Wednesday morning at 6:50 a.m. “God has blessed us with a lot of opportunities, family, work, in different situations and relationships, and a lot of times, as men it is easy to stay uncommitted. It is easy just to stay on the sidelines and say, ‘Well, I wasn’t trying anyway.’”
