A @cedarville professor just came to visit
my office, intentionally encouraged me, and
prayed for me. Profs like that are the heart
of CU.

Thanks @cedarville for a wonderful
Christmas concert. Wife and I agreed it was
the best 10k Joys yet, but men’s Silent Night
was our fav.

Cedarville Graduates Contribute to Woodlawn Success
Woodlawn opened October 16 in theatres
nationwide, earning high marks from fans
and critics alike. The film features the work
of Parker ’14 and Kara (West)
Adams ’14 and Ben Bailey ’09.
The film tells the true story
of a football team’s turning
to Christ and changing a
Birmingham, Alabama, school
overcome by racial strife in the
early 1970s.
Parker Adams handled
special effects for Woodlawn,
Kara Adams marketed the
movie, and Bailey was involved
in film colorization, editing,
and special effects.
“Broadcasting and digital media provided
a nice balance of classes with hands-on
technical aspects,” said Parker Adams. “Some
classes made for challenging debates that
allowed me to develop my worldview around
my profession.”
Kara Adams’ interest in
marketing was honed through
her studies in the business
depar tment. “Cedar vi l le
helped give me a passion for
people,” said Kara. “Living in
the community and taking part
in various events on campus
really taught me to go in and
get the job done.”
Bailey added, “The classes
at Cedarville challenged me
in a way that I had never been
challenged and pushed me to
think about the things I was doing and why I
was doing them.”
Music Faculty Members Receive Prestigious Honors
Ind i v i du a l r e c o g n i t i on s
harmonized for two Cedarville
University music faculty
members this fall.
The Fulbright Specialist
Program (FSP) named John
Mortensen, Professor of Music,
to its roster for 2015–16. In
addition, the Ohio Music
Teachers Association (MTA)
named Austin Jaquith, Associate Professor of
Music Theory and Composition, Composer of
the Year.
FSP awards grants to U.S. faculty members
and professors to connect qualified U.S.
professionals with overseas counterparts.
For the Ohio MTA award, Jaquith
submitted several original music compositions
to the Ohio MTA for review. His works
included scores for clarinet, brass, piano, small
ensemble, and orchestra.
As the winner, Ohio MTA commissioned
Jaquith to compose an original piece,
performed at its conference in Columbus,
Ohio, in November. Chet Jenkins ’97,
Studio Instructor for Music and Worship
and saxophonist, and Stephen Estep ’97,
professional piano accompanist, performed
Jaquith’s original piece at the conference.
