The 2017 Legacy Banquet Program

It’s an exciting time to be at Cedarville University. This year, we welcomed our largest freshman class in the school’s history. We opened our newest residence hall, Jenkins Hall. And we began our campus master planning process, as we consider the next 10 years of Cedarville University. In the midst of such an exciting time, in a time that looks toward Cedarville’s future, I’m ever mindful of Cedarville’s past—of the legacy left by the men and women who have come before us, sacrificing much in order that this school would remain one dedicated to equipping young men and women to live lives dedicated to theWord of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ, wherever Godmight send them. Surely the campus master planning process will deal with buildings, classroom sizes, and academic programs. But at the end of the day, all these things are means to the end of shaping our students to give their lives to the cause of the Great Commission—of getting the Gospel to every nation, tribe, and tongue. That’s what a Cedarville education has always been about. And by God’s grace, that’s what it always be. Through your support, we’re able to train students who would otherwise be unable to attend a place like Cedarville. Every prayer you’ve offered, every student you’ve sent our way, every dollar you’ve given, hasn’t merely been toward educating another college student—but toward setting a student on a Gospel trajectory that glorifies God. On behalf of the entire Cedarville University family, thank you for your partnership in the Gospel with us, as we prepare students to go out into the world for the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ. In Christ Alone, Thomas and Joy White
