Cole | Business Administration Major

Feeling called to make disciples and impact Christian culture, MBA student Cole Spake answered the call through service, and now he's busy rolling out Living Water Co., a business he co-founded to glorify God. During Give:24, Spake is rallying the cause to raise funds to help develop servant-minded leaders in the marketplace through Jessup's School of Business Investment Club and two memorial scholarships designed to reduce student debt. 

Earning his bachelor's in Business just last semester, Spake dove into the MBA program headfirst. His classes are preparing him with the knowledge and confidence to step into the business world better equipped to give a reason for the hope he has in Christ. "My Jessup Why is to grow academically and spiritually in a community that challenges me to live out my faith with purpose," he said. "I’m here to be shaped into a leader of integrity who will use my education to serve others and make a meaningful impact on everyone I meet."

Spake appreciates being in an environment composed of people who want to see him succeed. "The faculty and staff push me to be better and actively grow my strengths all while building me up spiritually," he said. "They are very intentional about spending time pouring into students."
