Toccoa Falls, Ga. (December 7, 2023) – As the Christian College of Georgia, Toccoa Falls College is committed to developing servant leaders, no matter the context. With over 45 program options at TFC, students can pursue various professions that serve the community at large. 

TFC alumna Hope Brockway is a perfect example of this. Hope graduated from TFC in May of 2023 and majored in both Biology, with a concentration in Public Health, and Bible and Theology. She felt God’s calling to further her education, and, beginning in January of 2024, Hope is pursuing a Master’s Degree in Public Health (MPH) with a concentration in Health Promotion and Behavior. 

Hope described her time at TFC,

“Toccoa Falls College has impacted almost every aspect of my life. I have grown in my relationship with the Lord… I have seen His hand throughout my time here. TFC’s public health concentration has given me a fantastic overview of the field of biology as well as an overview of what public health is and how we should approach this subject as Christians. Looking at science through a biblical point of view has really shaped who I am as a person and how I interact with science in my studies and daily life. Gaining hands-on experience in all sorts of science courses, the ability to lead on campus, and the interactions I have with professors and learning from them on a more personal level has enabled me to better hone my skills and expand my educational experience, inside and outside the classroom. I have greatly enjoyed and have absolutely loved everything that TFC has given me.”

Through her admittance into an MPH program, Hope is excited to continue her Christ-centered education. With a passion for helping people and serving vulnerable populations with limited access to care, Hope recognizes the need for Christians in the field of public health. She believes that due to Christians knowing the creator of the universe, Christians should have the most impact in the field of science because “we are, in essence, studying about our Creator.” Many careers within public health are on the front lines, responding to natural disasters, humanitarian crises, and emerging pandemics. Hope plans to act as the hands and feet of Christ as she takes this exciting next step on her journey. 

Toccoa Falls College congratulates Hope Brockway on becoming a Master of Public Health candidate and looks forward to seeing her impact on the field of public health and the Kingdom of God. To learn more about programs at TFC, please visit tfc.edu/academics.
