Theme Verse
Each year 蹤獲扦 Carey University chooses an annual theme that is designed to provide an idea for us to focus on and to unify the campus. The theme for 2026-27 comes from Ecclesiastes 4:9
"Better Together."
Each year, 蹤獲扦 Carey University selects a theme verse from the bible to guide its mission and focus for the academic year. This year’s verse is Ecclesiastes 4:9, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.” (NIV)
As we look to 2026–27, this verse captures our conviction that God has designed us to thrive not in isolation, but in community—students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends laboring side by side in shared mission. At 蹤獲扦 Carey University, our greatest impact comes when we combine our gifts, strengthen one another, and pursue Christ-centered excellence together. This year, we embrace the truth that we are stronger, wiser, and more fruitful as one body united in purpose—#BetterTogether.
