GRATITUDE: THEME OF LARGEST ESTATE GIFT IN UNIVERSITY HISTORY A heartfelt expression of gratitude from anonymous donors for the impact the University has had on their two children has led to a $6.14 million estate gift commitment for Cedarville. The gift is in support of the $175 million One Thousand Days Transformed: The Campaign for Cedarville, which has currently received $155.5 million in commitments. “We are grateful for the generosity of these donors who made this gift to ensure future students are able to attend Cedarville University and receive an education from a biblical worldview,” said Thomas White, President. “We are committed to stewarding the gift well and honoring the donors’ investment that will ultimately yield eternal dividends.” The $6.14 million planned gift will be used for student scholarships and the future needs of the University. It is the largest estate gift commitment in Cedarville’s history, surpassing the $3.1 million estate gift of Roger and Charlotte Kuriger in 2018 for scholarship awards for graduate nursing students and undergraduates studying accounting. This estate gift was made by the parents of current Cedarville students who understand the value of a Cedarville education and its impact on the lives of their children. “We want to express our gratitude to Cedarville University faculty and staff for the way they have invested in the lives of our students,” said the anonymous donors. “We have been blessed and greatly encouraged by the interactions we’ve had with Cedarville students and its leadership, and we firmly believe in the mission of standing for the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ.” ANNUAL MISSIONS CONFERENCE ENCOURAGES STUDENTS TO GO We started the spring semester with our annual Global Outreach (GO) conference, focusing our attention on missions and the need for new Gospel-focused churches in the U.S. and abroad. This year’s speaker was Troy Nesbitt, President of The Salt Network, a family of churches partnering together to reach students and plant churches. Troy challenged students to use their lives for Kingdom impact, and many responded to the call. Dr. Jeremy Kimble, Associate Professor of Theology and Director of The Synergy Initiative, closed out the conference on Thursday morning, encouraging students to leave Cedarville ready to make disciples and multiply churches.
