Cedars, Fall 2023

Dr. DeWitt Dr. Dewitt -Parren Carnahan In her spare time, Professor of Psychology Dr. Kristin DeWitt, relaxes and enjoys God's creation through her hobby of snorkeling. Although she grew up on Lake Michigan, DeWitt did not start snorkeling until she moved to Florida. Since then, she has snorkeled in various places including the Florida Keys, the Cayman Islands, Costa Maya, Belize, and La Paz. "It helps me with balance," DeWitt said. "After the school year, I need the summer to help me recoup and start afresh. Oftentimes, I snorkel with friends so it's good to be with them and fellowship and enjoy each other's company as well." Although DeWitt is not able to snorkel on the weekends now at Cedarville like she used to when she taught in Florida, she is able to enjoy other outdoor activities throughout the chool year. "It's good for me to be outside," DeWitt said. "I enjoy God's creation h r by hiking and riding my bike and going for walks, and I'm able to praise him by what I see." fall 20 3 Prof. Huff Prof. Huff - Parren Carnahan George Huff, senior professor of Social Work, started water skiing after his younger brother introduced him to the sport. When he moved from New York to teach at Cedarville, he and his wife purchased a house on Lake Shawnee in Jamestown and his interest in water activities developed from there. Huff purchased a jet ski when his daughters were students at Cedarville. Eventually, he sold it to buy his first boat, and he currently owns his second boat, a ski boat. Huff enjoys using it to ski the slalom course, which is a step up from regular skiing that involves maneuvering around obstacles on one ski rather than two. For Huff, his boat is not just a hobby - it is also a ministry to the student body at Cedarville. "I just so enjoy being on the water and appreciating God's handiwork of creation and the peace that I get from being on the water," Huff said. "I wanted to be able to share that with others so we would ask people over and started to include students. My social work students would spread the word to their friends and they would come. In my time here, I've had hundreds and hundreds of students ov r to my house." Dr. Dickson Dr. Dickson -Scott Huck In his spare time, Professor of Biology Dr. Terry Dickson enjoys both photography and music. His interest in photography dates back to seventh grade, when a teacher took him under his wing and introduced him to the topic. "In those days, we had a lot of film, and I still shoot film and digital," Dickson said. "To this day, I have a dark room in my home so I can develop my own pictures. When digital first came out, I was reluctant to use it because I had grown up with film, but they've refined it so much since then. In addition to photography, Dickson plays both steel string and classical guitar. He leads worship at the beginning of his classes, sometimes recruiting students or lab assistants to play other instruments along with him. "My students really love singing in class," Dickson said. "At home, I play guitar all the time too. Sometimes when I have to prepare a lecture and I'm glued to that guitar, my wife has to pull me away from 1t " Esther Fultz is a senior Social Work major and the Off Campus Editor for Cedars.
