Language and Literature The Language and Literature Department is looking forward to adding some new opportunities for those interested in teaching English as a second language.A team of professors is working on starting a program in the next year for those interested in teaching ESL and has even organized a group of students who will be going to Hungary this summer specifically to teach English. •Mindy Boone Music In a word,Cedarville College's Music Department is in "transition." Although the Music Department is already an incredible program,its good keeps getting better. The faculty alone speaks for itself, with nine full-time and ten parttime faculty; and between the professors,the Music Department has 112 years ofexperience at Cedarville College alone. The faculty stays busy outside ofschool;for example,five ofthe faculty have earned their doctorates and several are members oflocal orchestras. What exactly is the direction oftransitions in the Music Department? New majors are being added to the curriculum; faculty is increasing and plans are being made to have a full orchestra within the next two years. These changes arejust a few transitions that are happening in the Music Department as they look forward to the future. •Julie Mulder Academics 17
