Funny faces. The many faces of the Dixons can be seen throughout the family. Dr. Scott Dixon shares a little alone time with his father at the beach. Golfing is included. > ALEGACYOF SERVICE Twenty-five years as a university president,forty-four years as an itinerant preacher, forty-three years as a husband,and forty-one years as my father, Paul Dixon has continually modeled one character trait -- faithfulness -- faithfulness to his family, faithfulness to his calling,and faithfulness to his Savior. Faithfulness to Family In an age and culture of self-centered love, forty-three years of marriage is an aberration. In faithfully loving my mother,Dad has consistently modeled I Corinthians 13. His positive attitude has been contagious, and his continual encouragement has enabled my mom and me to take our own paths as we have sought to use the gifts and passions God has given us. Faillifu I ness to Calling I'm not sure I've ever seen someone enjoy hisjob as much as my dad. For the last twenty-five years he has lived and breathed Cedarville. Always ready to tell the story ofa small struggling Presbyterian college transformed into one of the best Christian liberal arts colleges in the country, he never travels without a stack ofbrochures and a box ofvideos. But even more than serving our university, I believe what gets him out ofbed every morning is the opportunity to make a difference in the lives ofthe student. From his early days when he preached to youth rallies while not being much older than his audience,Paul Dixon has been taking the message ofJesus to the coming generation. When your life passion meshes with the mission of your place ofemployment, work does indeed become a calling. 8DEDICATION Faithfulness to Savior One ofthe reasons some "PK's"struggle, I believe, is the difficulty ofliving in a home where the preaching is not backed up by the life ofthe preacher. My experience as a preacher's kid communicated quite the opposite. On my way from the kitchen to the dining room table with my morning Captain Crunch,it would not be uncommon for me to sneak a peek into my dad's study and see him on his knees in prayer or sitting in his chair studying the Word. He's far from perfect; but he has always been genuine. And he has illustrated that a life ofintegrity begins on the knees. Along with my mother,Dad chose Psalm 37:23 as their life verse:"The steps ofa good man are ordered by the Lord,and He delights in his way." Truly,the Lord has delighted in the faithful steps ofPaul Dixon. A Tribute by Dr. Scott Dixon

A LEGACY BEGINS The Cedarville University Board ofTrustees searched extensively to find a president to follow Dr. Dixon's 25 years ofservice,and during finals week ofthe spring 2002,the trustees announced to the school that Dr. Bill Brown,formerly of Bryan College in Tennessee, was to become the new president. "The Lord made it clear that was what we wanted to do,"Brown said about choosing Cedarville. The University's strong commitment to the Word ofGod,its strong academic background,and its "aggressive view to make a difference" attracted Brown to the school. Bro3vn added that another key attribute that drew him to the campus was "[Cedarville's] openness to what God is doing in the world." Brown brought new people and new perspectives on old Biblical truths to Cedarville. First, he brought his family, which included Lynne,his wife of26 years, his son, Alex,an eighth grader, his daughter, April,a freshman political communications major at Bryan College,and two cats. Along with his family,Brown brought a focus on worldview and the role ofChristians as the salt and light ofthe world. "The last great hope in America is the Christian college," Brown said. With this motivation in mind,the former professor ofBiblical studies at Bryan College wanted to find ways to engage students. He believed,"A Christian college must be student centered,[having a] serious student life standard." Brown shared much ofthe same energy and determination that characterized Dixon's time at Cedarville University. He also looked forward to spending time with university students and sharing God's love with them. He anticipated working from the strong biblical foundation that Dixon and his predecessors built for the school. "I hope it to be an enhancement ofwhat Dr. vl Dixon has done," Brown said about his upcoming presidency. Dr.and Mrs.Brown are lookingforwardto their move to Cedarville from Bryan College in Tennessee.> 16 ACADEMIA BoardofTiusteesChairmanDr.Bil Rudd announcesthe new university president.

Dr. Jack Riggs Dean Professor of Bible "What was the best part ofteaching the classes I taught?That's hard to limit—but the students have to be the top short answer. They are engaged and conscientious, and they challenged each other to think—really think—through their presuppositions and preexisting stereotypes. And most desired to truly glorify the Lord in that pursuit," Mrs. Julie Moore said. Dr.James Colman agreed as to the importance ofstudents in his teaching experience:"The best part ofteaching my classes was the great interaction with students. I loved the give-and-take that happened in the classroom." Professors in the School ofHumanities,Fine Arts,and Bible enjoyed the process ofseeing their students grow as communicators - through music,through literature, and through the spoken word."The best part ofmyjob," Dr. Bruce Curlette said, "was watching the students develop as musicians and getting to know them as people." Dr. Mark Spencer commented,"I liked helping people accomplish the kind ofvocal artistry that they didn't think was possible." "The best was hearing people say,'Wow,I thought I knew all about the Old Testament!"Dr. Chris Miller said. In addition to the excitement ofseeing his students learn, Dr. Miller had his share ofhumorous memories."Once Phil Bassett showed up as a 'guest prophet'(in full garb)and then went to the restroom afterwards to change back into 'professor clothes' with the wireless microphone still on!" "One time in a very large class in Alford Auditorium,I asked an individual to pay closer attention," admitted Dr. Matson."I discovered he was a visitor." This school showed their commitment to their students in and out ofthe classroom as they taught a variety ofdifferent subjects.

Professors in the School ofSocial Science and Professional Studies devoted themselves to teaching their students about functioning in the world, whether it was in the arena of business, politics, education, or interpersonal relationships. "The best part ofteaching my classes was seeing students expand the horizons of their understanding in the history ofideas and political thought," Dr. Gerson Moreno-Riano said. Mr. John LeBlanc said the best part ofteaching his classes was"giving the students real-world insights ofthe textbook theory, then integrating that into real world Biblical application that could be practiced daily as a Christian in business." Specific projects and semester transitions allowed special experiences this year:"My most memorable experience, academically, was having 14 hours a week ofclass last fall with a bunch of Early Childhood majors who were doing a transition killer semester," Dr. Phil Bassett noted. Dr. Jeffrey Fawcett enjoyed his experience working with the students in the Integrated Business Core as they created an operational company."They were fantastic folks to get to know and work with," he said. Mr.Tim Hansell enjoyed having some fun with his students. He often started the year's first class by speaking German to his programming class, pretending the class was German 101 for a few minutes before he admitted that he was kidding. Students played ajoke on Dr. Nelson Henning once by placing an "Out ofOrder" sign on his computer before he arrived at one ofthe computer labs."I was about to begin instruction when I saw the sign. I thought the hour ofinstruction was ruined. After a short time of panic,they told me what they had done." Even with the changes and hilarious experiences, Dr. Ronald Walker noted the best part ofthejob remained constant:"New faces, fresh minds."

Faculty in the School ofHealth and Human Performance often did double duty as both professors and coaches; in and out ofthe classroom,they had the opportunity to interact with students. Mr.Robert Duchardt commented on the classroom experience:"I got the first crack at the new students in the Athletic Training Major. It was my challenge to capture their commitment to the profession as opposed to their simply being interested. I had the opportunity and privilege ofsetting the foundation on which they will build." "I loved interacting with the general education students in the relaxed atmosphere ofan activity class. Students were wiling to open up more and be themselves, have fun,enjoy learning," Ms. Kathleen Freese said in regards to her teaching experience. Basketball Coach Ray Slagle noted the duality ofhis experience:"Although I did teach classes and enjoyed that very much,the majority ofmy time was spent dealing with the young men on our basketball team. My favorite part ofthat was getting to know each one ofthem,their gifts and abilities, and watching them grow during their time here at Cedarville University." His most memorable experience this year, he said, was the Friday night when "the women's team clinched a place in the national tournament,and the men won a big game against Shawnee State. Over 4,000 students,faculty, and staff were at the game and gave great support to the team." Mr.John Plush shared in this pride ofthe sports teams,especially the track and field team members he coached."My most memorable moment this year was watching one ofmy pole-vaulters, Rachel Castro, set a school record indoors,one week after sustaining a dislocated kneecap and competing on an already strained hamstring—it showed so much courage and determination. I was so proud ofher!"

The School of Engineering,Nursing,and Science educated graduates ready to go out into specific job fields or pursue further education. With an emphasis on handson experience, professors had the opportunity to get to know students. "The best part ofteaching my classes," Dr. Harwood Hegna noted,"was getting to know each year's group of mechanical engineering students." Dr. Kevin Roper agreed."I enjoyed interaction with students," he said. Hands-on experience and specialized programs allowed for plenty offunny situations. Dr. Burban said that the funniest thing to happen in his classes was"being visited in class by a scruffy mountain man,a senior engineer wearing an eighty pound mountaineering backpack." "My students brought me a giant cookie that said "Tetrahymena Rule"to celebrate my getting tenure. You had to be there," Dr. Heather Kuruvilla said,"and at one ofour class picnics,two ofmy students who were 'in charge' oflighting the charcoal got a little carried away with the lighter fluid. Fortunately, nothing caught fire, except for the charcoal." Dr. Roper played a trick on two students who skipped class and missed the announcement that he canceled the next day's quiz. He fabricated an impossibly difficult quiz for the two students and gave the rest ofthe class blank sheets ofpaper; those who attended class the day before tried not to laugh as they pretended to complete their "quizzes.""I don't think they really appreciated thejoke," Dr. Roper admitted. The long-term effects ofthe classroom, where humor and learning so often meet, encouraged Mrs. Sandra Hayward, who commented,"I really liked to hear ofand see students after graduation who served God and used the skills they learned here."

The Division ofChristian Ministries at Cedarville offered many outlets for ministry. The Department ofCommunity Ministries provided over 80 weekly outreach opportunities to ministries such as crisis pregnancy centers,jails, hospitals, and nursing homes. This department also encouraged students to volunteer at schools and help in local church ministries. Another aspect ofChristian ministries was the Department ofMIS. Each year approximately 250 students, faculty, and stafftraveled to various countries, including South Africa and Australia on mission trips. Other ministries included Athletes for Christ,teaching English, music and drama,nursing, and sign language. Additionally, Touring Teams strived to bring Biblical truth to local churches through music and drama. Many different drama,singing, and puppet groups ministered in local churches as well as going on trips to other states. Discipleship ministries were a new venue that started this year. Various men's and women's prayer groups met on campus as well as a Scripture memory group. Also,several small group Bible studies started, each with a different student leader in charge ofthe group. "Discipleship ministries offered a great avenue for encouraging each other on campus and breaking down barriers while sharing our hearts. Discipleship was heart-centered," senior Caleb Halulko commented."People were different and gifted with special passions and desires. You spent time with others who wanted to grow spiritually." Pastor Rohm,Vice President for Christian Ministries,commented,"the emphasis was serving God through serving others,and growth in Christian character...in faithful Christian service." The goal of"Serving God by Serving Others" embodied the principles ofthe Christian life. As the Vice President's secretary, Cheryl Shupe enoys working in the Division of Christian Ministries.

Ask any student or professor who the most important person was in their major, and the inevitable response was the administrative assistant. All students in the Business Administration Department could inform a visitor that Vicki Edem truly runs the show. "We had this wonderful lady who took care ofpractically everything. Her name was Miss Vicki Edem;she was truly amazing," said Dr. Lance Revenaugh ofthe Business Department. The same applied for Mrs. Meredith Irving in the Nursing Department;Pam Bromer ofthe Biblical Education Department,and all the other administrative assistants on campus. Ifa student had a question,the first person he or she went to was the administrative assistant. They spent hours working behind the scenes photocopying,answering phones, scheduling, substituting, and doing anything required to make the department run. Another extremely important component ofcampus life was computer performance. The Computer Services Department worked diligently at maintaining the award-winning computer capabilities ofthe school. "I really liked how when my computer went down,a computer service technician promptly arrived and had it fixed by the next day,"freshman Andy Myers said. CounterStrike players, avid ebay shoppers,and internejunkies appreciated the exemplary performance ofthe network that Dr. David Rotman maintaineHd.is staffkept the network running smoothly and assisted every group on campus with their computer needs. The select students who partook in summer school or travel studies benefited from the work ofthe respective staffs that helped them,as the staffmembers helped coordinate travel plans and transferring credits. The Academic Division on campus may not have been seen the most by students, but they were an essential part ofdaily college life. Mark Mazelin helps keep the school's computers working.

Most students could not survive without any ofthe staff members,but perhaps the most appreciated members ofthe staff were the people in charge ofpaying students,the ones who got their books,and those who delivered their precious mail. Every student spent hundreds of well-earned dollars on books in the bookstore and an almost equal amount on candy and food. When students needed a book,they turned to bookstore supervisor Lee Matson,and he found it. Naturally, to pay for such spending,students worked long hours all over campus and prayed for Friday to come when the Business Office cut their pay checks and sent them through the mail. The mail not only delivered paychecks, but it also provided a link to home, girlfriends and boyfriends hundreds ofmiles away,and the extremely important world of mail-order catalogs. Every student checked his or her mail at least once a day,hoping for a personal letter and dreading the potential poor test grade. The workers in the mailroom cheerfully delivered the mail daily. "I enjoyed the privilege ofdelivering your mail," postal worker Megan Smith said. "I really appreciated how we get all our mail in a timely manner. Those ladies in the post office are such sweethearts,"junior Pete Weist said. Campus Safety also played an important role on campus as it protected students from both terrorist threats and the students themselves. They kept students advised on poor weather conditions,such as the many Level 3 Snow Emergencies and also increased the feeling ofsafety all over campus. With the tons ofsnow that winter dropped on the school,the landscaping and grounds men and women,as well as those in Custodial Services,found themselves with plenty to do. They did an excellentjob ofkeeping the sidewalks and roads cleared and plowed, while also cleaning up all the snow that was tracked indoors. All members ofthe Cedarville family appreciated their vigilance and the long hours they put in to keep classes in session.

Under Vice President Martin Clark's able leadership,the Development Division provided financial support for the school,communicated with the public and kept in touch with the school's alumni. CDR Radio,Production Services,and the Annual Fund Office werejust some ofthe important components ofthe division. Alumni Relations stayed in contact with the thousands ofCedarville alumni through gatherings and their quarterly magazine, The Inspire. They also assisted with Homecoming and special alumni weekends throughout the year. During Alumni Weekend in February,they hosted several hundred alumni who crowded into the Callan Athletic Center to root both the Men's and Women's basketball teams to victory. Alumni services also encouraged students to participate in alumni activities through the student organization DAE. This group met with alumni all over the country throughout the year. "It was a great experience to meet so many alumni who love Cedarville," DAE member James Duty said. The Annual Fund challenged friends ofthe university to "Bridge the Gap" between what it costs to attend Cedarville and what students pay. Planned giving provided a way for donors to contribute to the school and assist in its various building projects. The division's major Annual Fund project was raising money for the multi-million dollar expansion ofthe Callan Athletic Center. The production services group,including student favorite Mark Button, provided support for the numerous technical events that occurred on campus each week. From chapels and fellowship,to concerts and sporting events, this group provided the audio talent necessary to run chapel and other events on campus."As part ofthe Integrated Business Core,we really appreciated the hard work that Mark Button put into making the concert run smoothly. He worked long hours with us making sure that we were getting exactly what we wanted,"junior Jason Williams said Scott Huck can often be seen around campus with his favorite accessory - a camera.

The continued growth ofthe student body during the last decade points to the quality effort ofthe Enrollment Management Division. Admissions took prospective students and showed them what Cedarville University offered. "We wanted people to experience the quality and intensity ofour academic programs,to experience the genuine commitment to Christ that was pervasive on our campus,and to experience the warmth and fun ofour student body," Admissions Director Roscoe Smith said. External Relations and Admissions worked together in many ways to help junior high and high school students learn more about Cedarville. External Relations also developed an outstanding relationship with local churches and schools to assist in the ministries to the local community. The Financial Aid Department gave many incoming high school students the chance to attend college. When the financial burden appeared too large, Financial Aid stepped in and made college a reality for many students. These offices worked together to increase enrollment and continually brought in the largest freshmen classes in Cedarville history. "My favorite part about financial aid is the students I get to meet and make friends with - sometimes in their time ofneed. But often at a point where a little bit ofsupport goes a long way," Steven B.Thompson said. "It is very rewarding to help others learn how to help themselves with Federal Aid,as well as surprising a desperate student with his/her answered prayer ofa scholarship," Millicent Griswold said. The Enrollment Management Division continued working with the students once they became a part ofthe Cedarville family. The Academic Services Office offered help and support to students through testing and various forms ofinformation to enable them to reach their academic goals. As the External Relations Director, Janice Supplee organizes events such as CedarMania and Junior Jam.

From assisting students in employment choices and hosting variousjob fairs to organizing numerous activities and supporting campus organizations, the Student Services Division provided many opportunities for students to become actively involved in the school and the community. The broad division ofStudent Services encompassed Campus Activities, Career Services,the Counseling Office, and Patterson Clinic. Many students found a few occasions to make the long trek to Patterson Clinic to beg for medicinal relief when the weather grew cold,and flu season arrived. Resident Assistants also supplied a link between the students and the division meant to serve them. "I really enjoyed my RA's servant heart.

NEW BEGINNING On Friday,August 23,a sea of minivans flooded Cedarville University for Getting Started Weekend. Fathers and mothers fought for parking spaces while their freshman students fought emotions ranging from fear to elation. As they stepped out oftheir vehicles,they heard Christian music in the distance, felt the hot summer sun on their bodies,smelled food grilling, and saw hundreds ofanxious faces experiencing Cedarville for die first time. Masses ofnew students scurried into the Dixon Ministry Center. Together,they herded through endless mazes ofbooths to collect the massive quantities ofinformation crucial to the survival ofevery freshman. From the Dixon Ministry Center, many returned to the dorms to extract their belongings from cars that always seemed a few cubic feet too small. After unpacking, parents and their freshmen attended informative conferences to learn how to acclimate to the new culture. An early arrival party capped the evening, which allowed new students to make connections with their new Cedarville family. On Saturday, orientation sessions continued,and more students poured in from all over ofthe world. A special presentation,"Calling Home,"guided parents and students through possible components ofthe college transition. In the evening, freshmen united to learn a new approach to the early 1990's song"I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers. While the freshmen remained on campus participating in various activities, transfer students traveled to staffand faculty member's homes,local businesses,and campus safety to take pictures as part of their small group activities. The final day ofGetting Started Weekend ushered in mixed emotions as parents spent their last weekend moments together in worship at the Jeremiah Chapel before leaving their first-year Cedarville students. After the service, the parade ofminivans turned onto State Route 72 heading home while new students remained on campus to start their first year ofnew memories,new beginnings,and new family at Cedarville University. The Getting Started Crew (and the Bee) help frehsmen and transfer students move into their dorms during the long weekend. > 42 FALL SEMESTER

SERVING THE LORD "Have you ever considered the possibility that your limitations and handicaps may prove to be the key to your usefulness in serving the Lord?" The Fall Bible Conference began on Monday,August 26,2002,as Reverend Alistair Begg ofParkside Church introduced his first message with this thought-provoking question. His Scottish accent perked listeners' ears, but the meaning of his words held the attention ofa full chapel. His humor provoked laughter; his wisdom provoked thought; his challenges provoked change. Begg used the morning and evening services to speak about topics such as attitude, the use and abuse of words,and holiness. For Wednesday morning's convocation chapel, he spoke ofthe power ofproper thinking, and that night he addressed the topic ofrelationships with thoughts from "your Uncle Allie." His kindly advice provided Biblical insight on positive characteristics for a future husband or wife. Friendly bantering between Begg and Dr. Dixon continued all week as the two flung good-naturgeodlf insults across the platform. Chuck also participated as Begg criticized the cafeteria for lack ofproper soup spoons. Various people,from students to staff, presented Begg with a wide assortment ofspoons. Unfortunately, most ofthem he declared unfit for soup. Aside from humor and powerful preaching, the music at the conference contributed to the overall atmosphere and prepared hearts for the messages that followed. Mr.Di Cuirci headed the praise team and led an especially rousing rendition of"Lion ofJudah." Begg's last message ended the conference with an important reminder from Ecclesiastes 12:1-14. He encouraged those in attendance to be mindful ofthe brevity oflife, the reality ofdeath, and the certainty ofjudgment,and with these truths in mind,to make the most ofthe opportunity of youth. < Rev. Begg takes the time before and after each service to talk with students. FALL SEMESTER 45
SPECIAL TRIBUTE September 11,2001,shook America with its horror, but it also showcased the self-sacrifice and courage ofmany heroes. To commemorate the bravery shown on this day and others in American history, Cedarville held its first September 11 Patriots' Day chapel last year. Students described the chapel as a mix of musical, visual, and verbal presentations, as "personal,""sobering,""tasteful,""moving," and "inspiring." • Under the direction ofMr.Di Cuirci,the symphonic band performed patriotic classics throughout the service. All veterans, current military members,law enforcement personnel,and emergency medical staffstood on the stage as the auditorium filled with applause to honor them for their defense ofAmerican safety. "The service conveyed a theme offreedom,"said sophomore Karla Herdzik, "freedom from outside threats, freedom from domestic terrorist groups,and freedom from sin found only in Christ." A slideshow ofphotographs ofthe World Trade Center attacks and their aftermath flashed across the screen to the song"Where Were You?""The pictures spoke more to me than anything they could ever have done,"junior Catherine Reen said. The dramatic presentation moved other students as well:"The stories ofthe lives that were lost brought the memories flooding back,"freshman Kimberly Volpe said. Dr. Dave Robey began working on the script for the dramatic presentation in March of2001. Scott Ryan, Melissa Neufeld, Amanda Kirchner,Rob Yale,and Mr. Matthew Moore performed the drama entitled "United We Stand: A Service of Remembrance, Honor,and Commitment." "My goal was that the service would strengthen in the audience their love for America and their gratefulness for God's blessing on the nation," Dr. Robey said. "A grateful people will serve others, and that is what all ofus should remember from September 11." 4 By Grace helps the audience reflect on their freedoms as they sing the Southern Gospel favorite "Freedom." > 46 FALL SEMESTER
