admissions at the college. “Asan institution, we are verysensitive to the rising costs ofhigher education. The presi-dent of the United States isdemanding that institutionsbe more accountable for notjust raising tuition and feeseach year but making surewe’re putting a value andmarketability to everythingwe do. We know that we’vegot a value and good outcomestories to share.”

She said families are verysensitive to the debt load in-curred by earning a degree inhigher education.

“The recruitment and finan-cial aid staff are sitting downwith families daily,” Tackestated. “They are looking atthe bottom line. They are look-ing at total debt. They want in-formation that backs up thatthe student will not only get avalue but also get a job.”

According to Mount Marty,approximately 99 percent ofstudents attending the schoolrequire financial support.

Graduates of the institu-tion report a 96 percent em-ployment rate indegree-relevant programs, aswell as nearly 100 percent ac-ceptance into graduate andprofessional programs.

In comparison to the 10other schools in the Great

Plains Athletic Conference(GPAC), Mount Marty ranksas the second most affordablebased on tuition and fees.

“We look at our costs andwhat we deliver as a productand, as the market goes inthis part of the country, wefeel like we deliver a very af-fordable education and an ex-cellent one,” Benoit stated.

Had the college board de-cided to increase tuition, hesaid he doubted it wouldhave affected enrollment. Justmore than 1,200 students areenrolled between the col-lege’s locations in Yankton,Sioux Falls and Watertown.

“There is almost an expec-tation that tuition will in-crease,” Benoit stated.“Discussions at the nationallevel have been that we havea responsibility as providersof higher education to exam-ine our cost structure. Indoing that, we evaluate if weare charging what we need tobe charging. We feel that weare right now.

“Access and affordabilityis a big factor in many stu-dents’ minds, and I think ourcommitment to those con-cerns speaks to our values asan institution,” he continued.“I think this is a good decisionfor all the right reasons.”

prevention. It also focuses onthe “six pillars of character” —trustworthiness, respect, re-sponsibility, fairness, caringand good citizenship.

“We seek to reach themspiritually, socially, mentally,physically and emotionally,”Chris said.

He added that simplyteaching prevention tech-niques is not enough to besuccessful, as it is crucial toreach the “whole being of achild.”

“The spiritual componentis very important because itshapes how a human being be-haves,” Chris said.

The approach has been aproductive one for theMaphosas, as recent test re-sults of 107 children that wentthrough the ministry showedthem all to be HIV negative.

“There’s a lot of impact,”Chris said. “Children I meetare saying, ‘Because of Todayfor Tomorrow, I live a life thathelped me not be infected byHIV.’”

Thanks to the success ofToday for Tomorrow, theglobal missionary organizationServing In Mission has com-missioned the Maphosas tospread their ministry to othercountries in Africa. Currently,Today for Tomorrow is operat-ing in Zimbabwe, Lesotho,South Africa and Botswana. Of-ficials hope to add the coun-tries of Angola, Namibia,Madagascar, Mozambique,Zambia, Swaziland, Malawiand Mauritius.

To raise funding and aware-

ness for the expansion of theirprogram, the Maphosas re-cently embarked on an inter-national tour. They are seekingfinancial partners and donorsto cover operating expenses,such as lesson books, trans-portation and training materi-als.

“As missionaries, we de-pend on the support of peoplewho think this is a goodcause,” Chris said.

The Maphosas arrived inthe United States on Feb. 1,first visiting cities in Texas andMontana before coming toYankton. This is their lastplanned stop in the U.S. beforeleaving for Canada.

While in Yankton, the mis-sionaries have met with areapastors and also havepreached and shared storiesof their ministry at KingswayChristian Church.

“I’ve been very impressedby their passion for the min-istry, and I know all the peoplein the church have beenmoved by it,” said KingswayChristian Church memberCindy Mason, whose family ishosting the Maphosas. “It’sbeen a very eye-opening expe-rience.”
