President’s Honors is first and foremost a celebration — of God’s faithfulness, of donor generosity, and of all that makes MidAmerica Nazarene University’s mission worthy of unwavering, sacrificial support.

We are pleased to announce our 2020 President’s Honors Lifetime Achievement Award honorees, Tim and Gail Buchanan. Generous supporters of MNU, the couple serve as co-chairs of the university’s Bright Futures Campaign. As business and church leaders in Wichita, Kansas, the Buchanans have a deep desire to see young people educated in a Christian environment. Tim has served as a Board of Trustee member for MNU since 2012 and Gail is a former student (’79). Their daughter, son and daughter-in-law have all attended MNU.

Highlights of this special evening include an elegant dinner, thrilling live and silent auctions, unique entertainment, and celebrations of generosity. Alumni and friends join corporate sponsors and community partners to reflect and celebrate the importance of MNU's mission and the difference our students are making around the world.
