Many students choose to attend Cedarville when they see what it means to be part of this family. Thanks to Michelle’s leadership, Cedarville has strengthened relationships with alumni, present and future!” — Jeff Beste ’87, Director of Alumni Relations “Every detail of every chapter event was intricately planned and every possible scenario anticipated. But what makes Michelle’s skills so effective are her Christlike humility and attitude of service.” — Dr. Bill Brown, President of Cedarville University “As chapter leader, I found working with Michelle an absolute joy. Not only was she there to provide whatever resources we needed to pull off a successful chapter event, but she also did it with contagious enthusiasm. Her commitment to supporting our chapter and serving the Lord in a fairly behind- the-scenes role was very obvious. Our team will greatly miss her. Blessings to you, Michelle, as you begin serving in a new role with a future alumnus!” — Curtis Hoke ’83, Leadership Team, South Central Pennsylvania Chapter Congratulations to Michelle (Rigel) McCune ’04 as she transitions into a new position with outstanding benefits: motherhood!
