Summer 2023 Volume 11 Issue 2 FEATURES 2 VIBRANT, JOYFUL COMMUNITY THOMAS WHITE Cedarville University isn’t just about rigorous academics. We are also all about having fun while we seek to know God, grow in community, and make disciples. As believers, we have the gift of grace and freedom in Christ, and because of that we can experience the joy of living in community with God’s people. 4 DOING DORM LIFE DIFFERENTLY CHARLOTTE BURCHAM, MMIN ’21 One of the most tangible examples of campus community is found in the residence halls. Whether it be planned hall events, spontaneous trips to Young’s Dairy, or the many late nights talking about life, residence life is an adventure. 10 LEADING WITH PURPOSE CAROLINE (TOMLINSON) KIMBALL ’22 Year after year, Student Government Association (SGA) officers model what servant leadership looks like. From working tirelessly behind the scenes to leading SGA chapels, this team of leaders is not looking for recognition, but rather to serve the student body and advance the mission and vision of Cedarville. 14 BEHIND THE SCENES OF ELLIV HEIDIE (RAINE) SENSEMAN ’23 The lights go up, the curtain is pulled back, and the performer takes the stage. But what thousands of students see on the Elliv stage every year is the culmination of hundreds of hours of work, preparation, and a whole lot of nerves. 18 MAKING MEMORIES The student experience wouldn’t be what it is without the hard work of hundreds of students who are part of Campus Experience. This team rallies together to put on Getting Started Weekend, ALT Nights, Campus Christmas, and so much more, working together for the greater purpose of cultivating community. 21 COMMUNITY: NOT JUST FOR UNDERGRADS JEFF GILBERT ’87 The power of Cedarville’s vibrant community does not merely exist among undergraduate students. Faculty and staff work tirelessly to ensure that every student, including graduate students in the Master of Divinity and Doctor of Pharmacy programs, understands what it means to be a part of the Cedarville family. And I commend joy, for man has nothing better under the sun but to eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun. – Ecclesiastes 8:15 Cedarville Magazine | 1
