Southeastern is pleased to announce the launch of its campus-wide recycling effort, with the placement of bins in every campus building and all seminary housing units. In addition to serving our community through recycling, the program will allow Southeastern to significantly reduce the amount of waste we send to local landfills, saving us time and money in waste removal and dump fees.
What may be a new feature for many about Southeastern’s recycling effort is that all of our bins are for commingled recycling, which means there is no need to separate paper, plastic, glass and so forth, into separate containers for recycling. Please see a simple one-page PDF document here that spells out the guidelines for all campus and housing area recycling containers.
This program will only be a success if the entire Southeastern community – including students, faculty and staff – participate. What can you do?
- Faculty and staff, please make every effort to find the location of the recycling bin in your building and place recyclable items in it.
- Students, the bins for each housing unit are located next to the waste dumpsters. The guidelines for the large housing bins are the same as for the smaller, building-specific bins.
- Encourage your co-workers and neighbors to take advantage of this program.
Southeastern would like to thank the Energy Foundation for funding this recycling project. If you have feedback on this initiative, please contact the Office of the Senior Vice President for Business Administration.

HOW TO BALANCE LOVING JESUS SUPREMELY AND LOVING YOUR WIFE AS JESUS COMMANDS – Luke 14:26; Ephesians 5:25
By Dr. Bill Bennett, Campus Chaplain
Your zeal for devotion to your wife is commendable, but your zeal for the spouse must not equal or exceed your zeal for following Jesus so the Savior Himself admonishes in Luke 14:26, “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.” First of all, He told those who followed Him that in order to be His disciples they must love Him SUPREMELY above all. He did not ever suggest that they should have hatred in their hearts toward the wife, children, mother, father, etc. Rather He was emphasizing that love for Christ must be so great that all other loves are hatred by comparison (Matthew 10:37). No consideration of love for even the wife must ever be allowed to deflect a disciple from the pathway of full obedience to the Lord.

Do you have a skill you would like to market while you are here at school? Perhaps you would like to prepare tax returns for people in the area for a fee; or you might be a skilled carpenter or painter who could take on some jobs to help pay your way through school; you might wish to be put on a list to be called by folks who need some yard work or miscellaneous odd jobs performed on a short-term basis; maybe you could tutor during the afternoons, or baby-sit, or do some sewing. If you have a talent for sale, the Office of Student Employment Services can help!
All you have to do is complete a form which is available in the Student Employment Services office in the Ledford Center. Your talent information will then be entered into a database. Whenever an inquiry comes from someone on-campus or in town requesting the type of service for which you have a talent, Student Employment Services will provide your name and contact information. Then, the interested party will call you! It’s as simple as that!
This student service is provided to you free of charge; and, your spouse and children may list their talents as well. You may notify Student Employment Services any time you want to be inactivated or deleted from the Talent Pool. All the listings in the Talent Pool are updated a couple of times a year at which time you will be asked if you want to continue to be listed in the database.
