The Idea of an Essay, Volume 2

6 Cedarville University’s Department of English, Literature, and Modern Languages Hello from Cedarville University. Thank you for your interest in the Department of English, Literature, and Modern Languages. Our programs produce men and women who communicate effectively and think deeply, cross-culturally, and creatively about the ideas that have shaped and continue to shape our world. Our mission is to challenge students to go beyond expectations. Henry David Thoreau once wrote that we hit only what we aim at and thus ought to aim at something high. We agree — aim high. Who will write the definitive scholarly treatment of Don DeLillo’s work? Who will share Christ by teaching English to migrant workers in west Michigan? Where is this generation’s C.S. Lewis or Flannery O’Connor? At Cedarville University, we want our students to aspire to such heights. Meet Our Composition Instructors Daniel Clark Associate Professor of English
