Steven Dayton
Senior, Biology/Pre-Med
My hometown is Houston, Texas.
As if my academics don’t keep me busy enough, I thought I would fill my spare time with some extracurricular activities at CTX, including Resident Assistant, Academic Coach for Science and Math, and aspiring parish organist.
The highlight of my time at CTX was definitely presenting the results of our Senior Biological Research Project at a Texas Academy of Science Meeting!
I think CTX is unique because the interpersonal relationships that students form with professors. The faculty and staff genuinely care about you as a person.
The professor that impacted me the most was Dr. Stevenson (chemistry) because he has encouraged me to take ownership of my education and perform at my best.
My advice to incoming students is to be prepared to "hit the ground running" on your first day here.
The experiences that I have had in my classes have pushed me to integrate my Christian beliefs into all aspects of my life. This integration has strengthened my faith throughout my experience at Concordia and developed me into a Christian Leader.

Education: B.A. in Business; current M.Ed. student at Concordia University Texas
Hometown: I am a transplanted Austinite from the Northeast. I have been living the dream in the Music Capital of the Southwest and love all there is to do in and around Austin.
I enjoy going to work every morning because I love sharing our programs with potential students. I enjoy my role even more when students decide that CTX is the right fit for them.
If I won the lottery, the first things I would buy are the legal fees to incorporate my non-profit association so that I can begin to change the lives of women and their children in Austin.
I believe in the Accelerated Degree Program/Graduate Program because it is the best possible option for working adults. It allows adults to balance their personal/professional lives while reaching their goal of completing their undergrad degree. The ADP program complements your busy life rather than conflicting with it. No longer do adults have to choose between their families, work and school. They can do all three successfully.
In today's competitive market, many are pursuing degrees beyond their basic college education. Because our M.Ed. program offers evening classes one night a week, professional educators can prepare themselves to be the leaders of the future. Each specialization represents an organized, streamlined program of study designed to give our students a solid theoretical, research, and practical foundation in a variety of settings. Since we offer several specializations, our M.Ed. students graduate from the program with the leadership skills they need to ensure their success for years to come.
The mission of Concordia University Texas is to develop Christian leaders. I see this happening when students want to feel connected to their university. They can attend anywhere they want, but I want them to know that CTX is uniquely capable of answering the call for their educational goals. The world lacks trust in its leaders and faith in its institutions. As a Christian institution of higher education, CTX is committed to the discovery and spread of knowledge while seeking to join together educational excellence and a faith commitment in our students. We are successful when we both inform and form our students and they become future leaders in our community.
