The university also officially rededicated its biblical studies building as the Williams-Branch Center for Biblical Studies during a special ceremony earlier in the day.

In September, alumni Dr. Charlie and Lesa Branch pledged $1.5 million toward university endowment and the redevelopment and support of the building, named in honor of their parents, Charles and Joyce Williams and Dr. Charles and Sylvia Branch. Renovation and refurbishment of the Williams-Branch Center has been ongoing over the past several months in preparation for the annual OC lectureship, which begins Sunday.
