r l honors. The College named four scholar athletes: Diane Rank, Mark Murdoch, Dave Kohlmeyer, and Julie Swift.

Christian Ministries Campus and community leaders in many cities have been discussing ways to prompt community service among college students. Usually, they decide to require a volunteer experience for graduation or as part of specific courses. Cedarville has led in student volunteerism for over thirty years . Over 1,000 Cedarville students serve in over 100 locations throughout the Miami Valley, a much higher rate than in any other school with which our programs compare. And we have not followed the usual and ironic pattern of requiring such service. So our alumni continue to volunteer as they move into churches and communities across the country. Why do so many Cedarville students and alumni reach out to others? Nearly every element of the Cedarville experience emphasizes ministry. Students select Cedarville partly because of this emphasis. Daily chapel services feature speakers who teach and encourage the students, challenging them to put their faith to work in ways that benefit others. Faculty and staff members set the example by participating in church and other community organizations. Sharing the results of Christian ministries keeps the eternal rewards before the students. Students can serve in community ministries or gain membership on a travel team. The Swordbearers , Abundant Life Singers, Kingsmen Quartet, Master' s Puppets, and Lifeline Players served over 500 churches plus numerous youth camps and conferences . The Music Department's Concert Chorale, Symphonic Band, Brass Choir, and other ensembles also travel for church ministries. College personnel minister in churches by giving music concerts or preaching. This outreach helps dozens of churches in America every week ... and in several other nations annually. Dr. Harold Green and Dr. Donald Callan pioneered the concept of student teams in Missionary Internship Service (MIS) nearly twenty years ago. Cedarville continues to lead Christian college s in this type of ministry. This past year, Cedarville students and faculty served in Argentina, Australia, Bermuda, Canada, Chile, China, Ecuador, England, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and St. Vincent. Recognizing the growth of the MIS program and wishing to place even more emphasis on missions, the College appointed Gary Fowler full-time missions director this year.
