The film features the work of Parker ’14 and Kara (West) Adams ’14 and Ben Bailey ’09. The film tells the true story of a football team’s turning to Christ and changing a Birmingham, Alabama, school overcome by racial strife in the early 1970s. Parker Adams handled special effects for Woodlawn , Kara Adams marketed the movie, and Bailey was involved in film colorization, editing, and special effects. “Broadcasting and digital media provided a nice balance of classes with hands-on technical aspects,” said Parker Adams. “Some classes made for challenging debates that allowed me to develop my worldview around my profession.” Kara Adams’ interest in marketing was honed through her studies in the business depar tment. “Cedar vi l le helped give me a passion for people,” said Kara. “Living in the community and taking part in various events on campus really taught me to go in and get the job done.” Bailey added, “The classes at Cedarville challenged me in a way that I had never been challenged and pushed me to think about the things I was doing and why I was doing them.” Music Faculty Members Receive Prestigious Honors Ind i v i du a l r e c o g n i t i on s harmonized for two Cedarville University music faculty members this fall. The Fulbright Specialist Program (FSP) named John Mortensen, Professor of Music, to its roster for 2015–16. In addition, the Ohio Music Teachers Association (MTA) named Austin Jaquith, Associate Professor of Music Theory and Composition, Composer of the Year. FSP awards grants to U.S. faculty members and professors to connect qualified U.S. professionals with overseas counterparts. For the Ohio MTA award, Jaquith submitted several original music compositions to the Ohio MTA for review. His works included scores for clarinet, brass, piano, small ensemble, and orchestra. As the winner, Ohio MTA commissioned Jaquith to compose an original piece, performed at its conference in Columbus, Ohio, in November. Chet Jenkins ’97, Studio Instructor for Music and Worship and saxophonist, and Stephen Estep ’97, professional piano accompanist, performed Jaquith’s original piece at the conference. Campus News
