Fall 2021 Volume 9 Issue 3 2019 Award of Merit PRESIDENT’S PERSPECTIVE Truly, truly, I say to you! … Hark! … Behold! The Bible has a way of signaling important words or events. Teachers say things like, “Write this down,” “This is important,” or “You may see this again.” These words get our attention, and I hope we have your attention now because what follows is transformational! The following pages contain a historic announcement in the life of Cedarville University. In these pages, you will read about the launch of the largest fundraising campaign in our history that will impact every area of Cedarville, including two new academic buildings whose quality will match the excellence of the programs within. We will need your prayer and support to accomplish this ambitious goal. You will also read about the largest homecoming in the history of Cedarville, the largest enrollment ever, the fact that we are debt-free likely for the first time ever, and a CU Around the Nation tour that may be coming to a city near you. The theme throughout these stories is that God has been gracious in pouring out His blessings upon Cedarville. I hope you will read these pages carefully. I hope you will join us in prayer as we launch the most comprehensive campaign in our history. And I hope that you will be encouraged in the faith as Cedarville University continues to stand for the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ. cedarville.edu/president @DrThomasWhite facebook.com/DrThomasWhite instagram.com/drthomaswhite linkedin.com/in/jthomaswhite In Christ, Thomas White, President 2 | Cedarville Magazine Cedarville Magazine
