SPRING 2023 17 THE CLASSICAL LEARNING TEST PODCAST DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY OF SERVICE AND UNITY WALK The Classical Learning Test has become a leading college preparatory exam among homeschool, classical, and private educators. As a premier partner, DBU began recognizing the CLT as an acceptable entrance exam for admissions in 2019 and has continued to strengthen that partnership ever since in new and innovative ways. Dr. Adam C. Wright, DBU President, is a member of the CLT board, and DBU serves as an annual sponsor for the exam. “The partnership DBU has with CEO Jeremy Tate and the Classic Learning Test is critical to advancing our mission to produce servant leaders through a Christ-centered, world-class education on University Hill,” says Jonathan Teat, DBU Vice President for Administration and Enrollment. Several DBU full-time professors have participated in podcasts with the CLT, sharing their expertise in Christian thought related to their teaching fields.

Dean Center for Service-Learning led DBU student volunteers to serve at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Dallas in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Day. Following the Day of Service, students, staff, and faculty members joined together to participate in the Dallas Baptist University MLK Unity Walk. “The MLK Unity Walk serves as a defining moment each year at DBU that continues the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,” shared Jeremiah Austin, current student (pictured right speaking to the group). “The greatest thing this generation can do is continue the pathway of unity and peace that was chartered by preceding generations. Honoring the past should never be considered an archaic value but a premise to build the future.” Atop University Hill, the DBU Family began the Unity Walk, led by Patriots carrying the Unity Walk banner. Upon approaching the cross in the middle of campus, DBU President Dr. Adam Wright delivered a few words before welcoming DBU Alum Rev. Bertrain Bailey. As is tradition, Dr. Bailey recited Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech from memory for all in attendance. The event was concluded with a time in worship, singing “Amazing Grace,” led by members from DBU Chapel Worship.
