Joining the University in 1960, they share a legacy worthy of honor. Within two years of arriving at Cedarville, Dr. Don Callan (pictured above left) was named athletic director and served from 1961 to 1998, developing the athletic department into a competitive rival with 14 varsity programs. With his 35 years as head men’s basketball coach, he ranked third for number of coaching wins in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. In 1996, he received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the Agonis Club of Dayton, Ohio, for his longtime commitment and contribution to athletics in Ohio. In 1982, he was named Cedarville’s Faculty Member of the Year. In addition to his more than 50 years of involvement in sports evangelism, Dr. Callan founded Missions Involvement Services at Cedarville. Since then, thousands of University students have traveled across the world on missions trips, and thousands of people have heard the Gospel — directly because of his vision and investment. As professor emeritus of exercise and sport science, Dr. Callan and his wife, Nedra, live in Cedarville. Dr. Bob Gromacki (pictured above right) came to Cedarville fresh out of Dallas Theological Seminary to join the Bible department, which at that time consisted of only five professors. He served as department chair for more than 25 years, establishing the Bible minor and several majors within the department. Under his leadership, Cedarville gained national prominence for its Bible programming, doctrinal distinctives, and commitment to Scripture. Primarily teaching Bible and Greek courses, Dr. Gromacki planted his love of God’s Word in his students. With his pastoral heart, he was also committed to mentoring his fellow faculty members. In 1976, he was named Faculty Member of the Year at Cedarville. Throughout his career, he served as an invited lecturer at several schools and published numerous books and articles, including the widely used New Testament Survey textbook. He and his wife, Gloria ’68, live in Springfield, Ohio, and Seminole, Florida. On behalf of the entire University and the thousands of alumni influenced by these professors, we extend a celebratory “thank you” to Drs. Callan and Gromacki. Thank you for investing in eternity!
