L
ast October Mrs. Dixon and
I
had the pleasure of hosting
the annual 25th year reunion
breakfast at our home.As we
crowded into our gathering room
with the Class of 1974,I gave an
update on the 'Ville and asked
them if all of the changes during
the past 25 years and the changes
on the drawing board disturbed them. As is typical
with our grads that I encounter, the answer was
"no."They explained that the continual development
and expansion of Cedarville strengthens their
degrees and makes them excited to be Cedarville
College graduates. They also seemed pleased with
the wise decisions the College has made up to this
point in land acquisition, facilities, programs, and
technology.
A key observation was that neither our mission
nor our doctrinal commitment change. Our alumni
rejoice that the daily emphasis on the importance of
chapel does not change. I personally remain
committed to chapel being a key to the Cedarville
culture. I believe chapel is the heartbeat ofevery
Christian college, and if you want to know what a
Christian institution of higher learning is all about,
just show up for chapel. In addition,our dedication
to Christian ministry, the Great Commission,and
reaching a world for Christ is stronger than ever.
As we face a new century and a new millennium,
we look forward with great anticipation to the
changes that are taking place and that will continue
to happen. It is exciting to think about the 150,000
square foot Student Life Center that will open this
fall, the Fitness/Recreation Center to be constructed
in the near future, and the new dorm complex to be
developed on our now 400-acre campus.We have
restructured our academic division into schools.
New undergraduate programs are added on a regular
basis. We are very close to offering our first
graduate programs.
Everything done in the name of Christ ought to
have quality stamped all over it.(You have heard
that before!) At Cedarville we are committed to
excellence, that is, doing things well for our Lord.
Lord-willing, we will continue to progress in a
strategic, thoughtful, and prudent manner.
Please remember, your alma mater takes all of the
planning and progress back to our mission, back to
who we are ... and that does not change.
