Keyanna Barr
Eyes on the future

“I want to make a difference in everything I do,” says Keyanna Barr, a very involved student at Southwestern Assemblies of God University. “When I arrived at Southwestern the doors of opportunity were wide open.”

Being elected treasurer for the student government highlighted Barr’s first year at Southwestern. Now entering her sophomore year, this Columbia, Mo., native will serve as the vice president of organizations, overseeing 20 campus-to-community programs that enhance the university’s connection with Waxahachie, Texas.

“These groups are something I desire to see grow and hope to further relationships with the city,” says Barr, 20.

As a church ministry major with an emphasis in Christian education, Barr sees relationships with community as critical and sees her experiences at SAGU as an important element in her personal pursuits. “They encourage me to be involved and provide me with an education that I can give back to my community,” says Barr.

After school Barr plans to start a Christian school that is at little to no cost for its students. “People want to give their children a Christian education,” Barr says, “but often they can’t afford it. I want to be a part of solving that problem for people.”
