Alumnotes, Spring 2017

A L UMNOT E S Spring 2017 Happy spring 2017! As we get set to wrap up another academic year, I want to highlight some ways you can be involved in the life of the University, including one exciting new initiative we are launching for 2017. Pray . Thank you for your continued prayers for the University. Many of you prayed as we faced the re-accreditation process this past fall. We are pleased to say the Lord blessed Cedarville University with re-accreditation for another 10 years. Please continue to pray for the University as we finish another school year. Pray specifically for members of our senior class as they search for jobs and apply for grad school. We are excited to welcome another group of alumni soon! Join JacketConnect . We heard you! When I am on the road, I often hear from alumni that they want a way to connect with current students. We recently unveiled JacketConnect, a new initiative that allows you to share professional, personal, and spiritual encouragement with our students. Sign up today at cedarville.edu/jacketconnect to join this exciting new program. Nominate someone for an alumni award . We want to hear from you! The alumni award nomination form is now open! We are seeking submissions for Alumnus/Alumna of the Year, Honorary Alumni of the Year, and Young Alumnus/Alumna of the Year. We want to know about alumni who are out in the world doing incredible things in their career and for the Gospel. Or maybe it is someone heavily involved in their church or making a difference in their community. To see more information about our alumni awards and to nominate someone, go to cedarville.edu/alumniawards . Come back to campus . Save October 6–7 as the date for Homecoming 2017! We are excited to feature new events this year and bring back some classics like Homecoming Chapel and class reunions. If your graduation year ends in a “2” or “7,” your class will celebrate with a reunion. If you are interested in helping us get the word out to classmates about your reunion, please contact our office at alumni@cedarville.edu . As always, it is our joy to serve you. Please don’t hesitate to contact me or someone here in our office if there is any way we can serve you better. We are praying for you during this new year, and we are excited to see how the Lord will continue to use Cedarville University for His glory.
