PRESIDENT’S PERSPECTIVE At Cedarville University, we talk a lot about our academic excellence and biblically faithful education that prepare our students for career success and Gospel impact. But another important element in our undergraduate culture is how much fun they have in the process. I like to say that Christians should have more fun than anyone on the planet — and we get to remember it the next day. And nowhere is that truer than here in the cornfields of Cedarville, Ohio. Whether through University-planned events or impromptu escapades in the residence halls, our students are joyfully living out their faith in genuine, vibrant community. Our undergraduate students’ 1,000 days at Cedarville are filled with events and experiences that create lasting memories and lifelong friends. The fun we have is a natural outpouring of the joy we have inside, through Christ. Anyone who says Christians are boring has never witnessed our students competing in the parking lot during Printy Wars or Lawlorpalooza, watched a Live@10, and they definitely haven't seen Elliv, our end-of-year extravaganza. In this issue of Cedarville Magazine, you’ll read all about our joyful campus community. You’ll discover some of the activities that mark our students’ 1,000 days, read how the residence hall experience builds relationships, and learn how Brian Burns ’95 and his team in Campus Experience work behind the scenes to plan events that intentionally create community. And, you’ll get a backstage pass to the aforementioned Elliv, the highlight of the year for many students. Cedarville University will always be committed to transforming lives through excellent education and intentional discipleship in submission to biblical authority. It is the hallmark of a Cedarville education, and on this we will never waver. But we are also committed to creating a fun, vibrant community where our students can celebrate the freedom they have in Christ and serve King Jesus with joy.
