Our editorial team was pleased to collaborate with several
resident experts on this issue of
Cedarville Magazine
. As we
pursued this topic, we had several conversations with pharmacy
faculty members to learn how we could take such a specialized
topic and make it readable, interesting, and relevant for those
of us who are not pharmacists. This turned out to be easier than
we thought it would be, thanks to their help.
Planning the content for each issue uncovers the complexity
of knowledge and expertise available on our campus. It’s
interesting to hear what faculty members in every school or department are working
on, what excites them in their field, and what opportunities they’re creating for students.
So what exciting things are faculty members working on? Over the past few years, many
have been extending Cedarville’s reach to Christian professionals through graduate and
adult programs. Consistent with our commitment to equip students for lifelong leadership
and service, we are intentionally preparing students at the next level for professional
excellence and mission-focused leadership. In August, our inaugural class of master’s-
level nursing students graduated. Ten Cedarville M.S.N. graduates are working in their
field, equipped to lead with excellence and serve with Christian compassion. I am eager
to hear stories about their ministry influence in nursing.
As Cedarville continues to invest in and develop these programs, we need your help.
You have relationships and networks at your church, workplace, or community group
with Christian professionals who want or need a graduate degree. Would you refer them
to Cedarville? Please help us spread the word about graduate and adult programs in Bible,
bioethics, business, education, ministry, nursing, and pharmacy.
Beginning this fall, I’m transitioning to do just that. My goal is to develop strategic
partners and relationships with leaders in business, health care, ministry, education, and
other fields to increase awareness of and enrollment in our graduate and adult programs.
If you have ideas or want to talk, I’d love to hear from you.
As this is my final issue as Editor, I’d like to thank our phenomenal editorial and
production team. They are fun and creative people who do excellent work. Working with
them on this team has been an experience I’ll cherish.
