Thirteen faculty with a
combined total of 360
years of faithful service to
Cedarville retired at the
conclusion of the academic
year. After these beloved
professors were honored in
chapel on April 13, alumni
and friends took to social
media to share stories and
notes of appreciation. We
pray God’s blessings as each
one enters this next phase of
the Lord’s plan for their lives.
A Legacy of Faithful Service
Clevenger Farewell Concert Packs the House
Standing room only — that was the scene at the
farewell concert for Chuck Clevenger, Senior Professor
of Music, on April 24 in the Dixon Ministry Center.
Faculty, staff, students, friends, and alumni filled
the Recital Hall, lining the walls and sitting on the
edge of the stage. Clevenger is stepping down from
full-time to part-time status at Cedarville. Among
other selections, he performed an original five-part
composition inspired by Florence, Italy by colleague
Steve Winteregg, Professor of Music.
