REMEMBERING ROBERT GROMACKI Robert Gromacki, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Bible and Greek, passed away on March 29, 2023. Gromacki was a renowned biblical scholar, a beloved professor, and a dear friend to many. He faithfully served Cedarville University as a professor from 1960 to 2010, and he was chair of the Bible department for more than 25 years, establishing the Bible minor and several majors within the department. Gromacki is also the author of 15 books, but he is best known for his New Testament Survey, a textbook used in colleges and seminaries across the United States. If you wish to give in honor of Dr. Gromacki, you can support the scholarship he created with his wife, Gloria ’68, in 2013. This annually funded scholarship was created to assist grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Cedarville University administrators, faculty, and staff who have served the University in a full-time capacity for 20 years or longer.

Before this change, the university had seven schools and multiple academic departments. The new structure provides for more efficient and effective leadership with clearly defined roles and prepares Cedarville for continued growth, while ensuring the mission of the institution is upheld throughout the academic experience. This new structure took months to develop as Dr. Thomas Mach, vice president for academics, gained input from various academic areas and governing bodies on campus. Ultimately, the path forward was selected as a result of asking the question, “What will best ensure our missional identity?” “I believe this new structure will lead us toward new ideas and greater energy,” said Mach. “It will help carry Cedarville University as an institution into the future and position us for further growth while maintaining our mission.” As of July 1, the academic division will be made up of nine schools: § Allied Health and Psychology § Arts and Humanities § Biblical and Theological Studies § Business and Communication § Education and Social Work § Engineering and Computer Science § Nursing § Pharmacy § Science and Mathematics CAMPUS NEWS 34 | Cedarville Magazine
