Inspire, Spring 1993

The Department of Music hosted high school musicians from 42 public and Christian schools at the annual Music Showcase February 18-20. The Showcase featured the Cedarville College performing groups in concert Friday night. On Saturday afternoon, a high school honors band, honors string orchestra, and honors choir performed. Donors to Cedarville College have promised to match up to $400,000 in donations of equipment for Cedarville's new Engineering/Nursing/- Science Center. Friends of the College have until December 31, 1993 to give toward instructional equipment.The matching gift donors, identified only as parents of a Cedarville graduate, will then make a gift for further equipment. Thirty percent of Cedarville's students are enrolled in the Engineering, Nursing, or Science and Mathematics departments. Although the ENS Center already includes several high- tech laboratories and over 100 computers for student use, additional equipment will support increasing demand for these strategic programs.
