Another Cedarville University family member recently received an award for his work in this important field. Dr. Sharon Johnson, professor of management and director of graduate programs and institutional research at Cedarville University, is a CASA in Greene County, Ohio. His commitment to the children he serves, as well as his work in training other CASA volunteers, earned him the 2002 CASA Volunteer of the Year Award after only a year and a half of service. Sharon says that one of the most rewarding aspects of CASA is interacting with unsaved people with whom he normally would not have contact. “It’s a chance to be salt and light to them,” he explained, be it through presenting the gospel directly or living a lifestyle witness of integrity and compassion. He thanks his church, Washington Heights Baptist Church of Dayton, and Cedarville University for emphasizing and supporting community service for Christ. Did You Know?
