You know it’s a telemarketer. AGAIN. So how many times will they call tonight? We admit it. Cedarville does use telemarketers. But there’s one difference about ours. They’re ordinary students who won’t try to force you into buying something you don’t want or need. (Not to mention, we only call once each academic year). The only thing they’re looking for is someone willing to make a commitment—a commitment to them. Chances are, you were once a student at Cedarville. Perhaps you have a son or a daughter who attended. Did you know the Annual Fund was working to raise money for you or possibly your children? The price you paid for tuition was less than it should have been. Why? Because the Annual Fund contributed money to reduce the cost of your education—by at least $2,000 if you attended for four years. We’ll make a deal with you. If you contribute a gift to the Annual Fund, we promise not to call you this year. That’s right. If we haven’t already contacted you, we will remove you from our calling list. Sound good to you? If you’d like to know more, please call 1-800-766-1115 or visit www.cedarville.edu and click on “Financial Partners.” Annual Fund Office Contact Jeff Brock ’84 brockj@cedarville.edu Moving to the Public Sector There is a major shift in job opportunities from the historically attractive “private sector” to the less glamorously perceived “public sector.” The number of employees in the federal work force dropped to an all-time low in the early spring of 2000. We have an extraordinary opportunity to fill those expected vacancies with quality individuals armed with conservative, Christian worldviews. We ought to be purposeful and focused on seizing this opportunity to have an impact for Christ in an environment that is so heavily involved with public policy, social trends, and culture impacts. The career services office is committed to encouraging individuals to seriously consider public service as a way to live out their God-given skills and abilities “before men.” Please contact us for more information or visit http://www.cedarville.edu/dept/cpp/jobbanks.htm#Christian .
