EQUIPPED FOR GOD'S CALLING 14 We are so thankful for the way Cedarville has equipped our four children for their individual callings. The value they received by attending was not just in the degree, but also in the experiences they had while at Cedarville: daily chapel; ministry opportunities; missions trips, both in the states and overseas; classes taught from a biblical perspective; strong academics; and professors who were willing to build into their lives. Because of these important factors, they were well prepared to enter the workforce with a strong grasp of their faith. At Cedarville, Megan was encouraged in her passion for teaching elementary students and drawing them to Christ. When she graduated and was applying for jobs, her first teaching job came through connections made during her field experience. Her academic advisor, as coordinator for student teaching overseas, was a helpful resource for Megan as she considered overseas teaching opportunities. Megan now uses her teaching skills at an international school in Spain, teaching missionary children. Michael benefited from the strength of Cedarville’s engineering program. While he was still a student, he completed an internship at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base as well as being an online tutor for college students in Ohio. When he began applying for grad schools, his professors were helpful and encouraging, and they wrote personal letters of reference for him, enabling him to be accepted into Cornell’s doctoral program, which he has now completed. He is currently applying his skills at a national lab in Colorado. While John was studying allied health, Cedarville encouraged his desire to help others regain abilities for daily life. As he began applying for grad schools in the very competitive field of physical therapy, his advisor graciously read and reviewed his applications. As a result, he had several grad school options to choose from. The preparation he received from Cedarville helped him successfully complete his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Ohio University and take a job as a physical therapist in Colorado. The skills and training that Emily received at Cedarville prepared her for the challenges of nursing in the midst of a global pandemic. She felt well equipped for her position as an ICU nurse at a level one trauma hospital, and she enjoys encouraging other nursing students to learn the skills that she gained through Cedarville’s program. She also credits several cultural and health courses with helping her prepare to serve the Lord through nursing overseas. We are thankful that each of our four children was able to have the “Cedarville experience,” and we continue to pray for God to guide them as they serve Him. Steve ’86 and Beth (McGillivray) Kuhn ’87 are the parents of Megan ’14, Michael ’16, John ’19, and Emily ’21.
