Inspire, Spring 1997

From The Director's Chair F reshman Composition 101...remember? I still have the final project paper, a critique of Birnbaum's Preppy Handbook. I like to write about the unusual. Most freshmen were researching something with the word Christian in the title, while I presented a rebuttal on the dress of the day! Although technology has changed the face of media in recent years, we still rely heavily on the written word. We read a daily newspaper,journal our thoughts, or write to friends using electronic mail. Enjoy this issue ofInspire which features several of our alumni who have made writing their career. I hope you realize, as I have, that a Cedarville College education develops in students a strong foundation for meaningful communication. You will also find a recap ofAlumni Basketball Weekend events. Over 450 alumni returned to campus for this weekend of competition and fellowship. The Alumni Council introduces Regional Area Fellowships to the Alumni Association. All the details for these fellowships cropping up all over the country are outlined on page three. If you are interested in helping with this program, please contact me in the Alumni Office at 1-800-837-2566. I'll look forward to hearing from you! Happy Reading!
