Scharnberg Business Center, Cedarville University announced the naming of the University’s business school as the Robert W. Plaster School of Business. The Plaster Foundation has partnered with more than 20 colleges and universities across the United States to expand educational access and promote the virtues of the American free enterprise system through named capital projects. “We are thankful for the investment of the Robert W. Plaster Foundation in our business program and its recognition of our shared commitment to free enterprise,” said Thomas White, President. “We want to train students with excellence to stand for free enterprise, to be entrepreneurs, and to incorporate a biblical worldview in their vocational calling.” Cedarville’s business school mission emphasizes excellence, stewardship, leadership, and Kingdom influence. Its commitment to free enterprise has also been recognized by the Berry Family Foundation of Dayton. In 2021, the University announced a $1 million donation to the Scharnberg Business Center project that also established the Berry Center for Free Enterprise to be housed in the new facility. With 550 students enrolled in nine undergraduate majors, The Robert W. Plaster School of Business is the second-largest academic unit on campus. The School also enrolls 86 graduate students in its Master of Business Administration and M.A. in innovation programs. 100% of recent business graduates gained employment or were pursuing a master’s degree within six months of graduation. “Our aim as a business school,” said Jeff Haymond, Dean of the Robert W. Plaster School of Business, “is to pursue excellence in all that we do so our graduates are prepared to enter the business world as ambassadors for Christ.” The construction of the 65,000-square-foot Lorne C. Scharnberg Business Center is currently underway. Located beside Cedar Lake, this facility will offer stunning views and ample community space for students to gather and collaborate. The facility will feature classrooms and offices for the Department of Communication, the Center for the Advancement of Cybersecurity, the Robert W. Plaster School of Business plus the Berry Center for Free Enterprise and Einstein Bros. Bagels. This world-class facility will be dedicated to training students for marketplace success from a biblical worldview. CAMPUS NEWS Cedarville Magazine | 33
