FALL 2020 Volume 8 Issue 2 2019 Award of Merit Winner Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in HUMILITY count others MORE SIGNIFICANT than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the INTERESTS OF OTHERS . Philippians 2:3–4 FEATURES 2 HEART OF THE MATTER THOMAS WHITE To enjoy and preserve the vibrant, residential, life- transforming Cedarville experience, the University diligently prepared for a safe return to campus. Three mindsets found in Philippians 2:3–4 form the basis of how our campus community will continue to thrive: humility, considering others better than ourselves, and loving others. 6 CARING WELL. STAYING WELL. CLEM BOYD From hand sanitizing stations in every building, to acrylic shields in classrooms, to outdoor chapels, to remote learning options for students, the University has taken a close look at every area of operations to see how to provide a safe learning and living environment at Cedarville. 12 NURSES ON THE FRONTLINES CLEM BOYD AND NICOLE HACKETT ’21 Three nurses. Three very different stories. Three individuals, all connected to Cedarville, with a heart to follow Jesus wherever He may lead. He called in the middle of COVID-19, and they responded. 16 NAVIGATING THE PANDEMIC NICK CARRINGTON ’10 Cedarville is blessed to have academic leaders who have a heart for the Lord and His people. Listen as our experts in healthcare, politics, business, and psychology offer their perspectives on how best to move forward in the months ahead. 20 STEPPING UP CLEM BOYD, MICHELE (CUMMINGS) SOLOMON ’91, AND NICOLE HACKETT '21 This COVID-19 season has uncovered heroes from the Cedarville family in the unlikeliest places. And all it took was letting God use them right where they were, with whatever He had given them, for such a time as this. 24 A TIME TO COME TOGETHER CLEM BOYD This summer, the Cedarville community looked closely at the biblical perspective on race and ethnicity. It was a time to rearticulate the University's historic stand against racism as a grievous sin before God and to affirm the value of each person as an image-bearer of the one true God, for whom He sent His son.
