From The Director's Chair
A
s a college student,I often asked my
academic advisor,"But what can I do
with a communications major?" His reply
was always the same—"Whatcan't you
do with it?" That response seemed of
little assurance to one who wanted a concrete solution.
I knew education majors became educators, nursing
majors became nurses,and science majors became
scientists. Did communication majors become
communicators? And,if so, did they actually get paid
for it?
It's been exciting to see how God has used me,
communication degree in hand,in so many varied
ways. No,it's not been concrete or even logical at
times. From a professional acting career to church
drama,from a fast-paced sales office to college
residence hall director,from high school play director
to director of alumni relations.. one thing is consistent:
Clear Communication.
I hope you will enjoy this issue ofInspire as we
highlight the Department of Communication Arts and
some alumni who have found the importance of
Clear Communication.

Career
Winter Quarter saw three Career Link Days:
one for psychology, social work, and criminal
justice; one for Christian camps; and one for
Christian school recruitment. There were two
common themes: 1) Many of the organizations
visiting the campus were represented by
Cedarville alumni; 2) All had more attendees
than the previous year, with Christian school
recruitment totaling more than 68 schools from
18 states and 11 foreign countries. What are
the key ingredients for this growth in
attendance? The impact of alumni in the
organizations and the spreading reputation of
our graduates are vital elements.
The ability to encourage many large public,
private, and non-profit organizations to visit
campus is a direct result of the growing use of
CareerNet, the cooperation between alumni
and the Career
Services Office.
We
have
major corporations looking for our experienced
graduates. Call 1 -444-JOB-4U11 to become a
CareerNet participant or to use our
growing services.
