SPRING 2022 Volume 10 Issue 1 FEATURES 2 THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE THOMAS WHITE Excellence reflects the nature and character of God, and as believers, we should desire to reflect His nature in all that we do. This pursuit of excellence is the hallmark of a Cedarville education and is clearly stated in our mission statement and core values. Cedarville presses on in pursuit of excellence while standing for the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ. 6 MEASURING EXCELLENCE Cedarville is blessed with many tangible evidences of excellence — stats and stories, insights and outcomes. But the greatest measure of excellence for Cedarville is an eternal one — lives transformed for the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 REMARKABLE RESOURCES BRYSON DURST ’22 Achieving excellence requires the best tools. At Cedarville, our health sciences programs have invested in leading-edge resources to ensure students are equipped to succeed. This includes a cadaver lab, a digital anatomy table, and a recently upgraded, state-of-the-art Simulation Center. 14 HIGH BAR BRYANA FERN Students in the Cedarville School of Engineering and Computer Science are held to high standards in their knowledge of applied math and physics. That high bar goes even higher when they participate in competition projects that test their engineering skill against top students across the country. 18 CREATING THE FUTURE HEIDIE RAINE ’23 The industrial and innovative design (IID) major began in 2010 to provide a professional development path for those possessing both creative and technical skill and interest. Academic excellence displayed through a collaborative workplace-type atmosphere and exacting attention to detail has positioned IID grads to land top jobs in the design field. 22 CYBER STARS JEFF GILBERT ’87 Cedarville’s cyber operations graduates are guardians of the cyber galaxy. They are gatekeepers of information in a digital age. And the excellence of their preparation has been noted by everyone from private industry to government agencies. Whatever you do, WORK HEARTILY, AS FOR THE LORD and not for men. Colossians 3:23 Cedarville Magazine | 1
