For those of you who are unfamiliar with what a 'Cobber' is I should fill you in. My university mascot was a cob of corn named Kernel Cobb, so thus our name was the Concordia Cobbers.
I knew that there were other Cobbers teaching in Korea, but this was the first time we were able to get together. I have been blessed with many new, beautiful friends in Korea, but there is nothing like interacting with people you have known for longer than a few months AND people who share that Concordia bond.
We spent 3 bliss filled days in Seoul with excellent music, food, and of course company. This mini-vacation reminded me of how special it was to attend a school that emphasized being globally engaged citizens. Across the Pacific one year after graduation we were able to meet and immediately connect. Wow! I know some people are happy to have friends from the same state/country here in Korea but these are people whom graduated from the same small, liberal arts school in Minnesota. :) It still blows my mind!

This also made me think about all of the Cobbers around the world right now that I know! People whom are living out the mission statement and upholding the love of learning that Concordia instilled in us. Again, Wow!
"The purpose of Concordia College is to influence the affairs of the world by sending into society thoughtful and informed men and women dedicated to the Christian life."
Soli Deo Gloria
