Inspire, Summer 2006

10 Summer 2006 Alumni Association News 2006 Alumni Scholarship Recipients Established by the Alumni Council and funded by alumni, the Alumni Scholarship and Grant Endowment Fund helps outstanding students complete their education at Cedarville University. Each academic department selects one student from their department who is deemed most deserving of academic recognition. The following are the students’ mini-biographies and notes of appreciation, which were written in March 2006. Athletic Training Patrick Clinton is a junior athletic training major from Olympia, Washington. An EMT, Patrick was part of the Fall Break Hurricane Katrina Relief Team as well as this Easter’s Prison Fellowship ministry. He is the president of the Sigma Phi Lambda men’s service organization. Patrick’s post-graduation plans include paramedic school and fire training. I would like to thank those in the athletic training department for this award. I attribute my success to their effective teaching and instruction. I would also like to thank my parents for their hard work and sacrifice in sending me to Cedarville. Finally, I offer praise and thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ by whom and through whom all things are possible to His praise and glory. May He come soon! Biblical Education An Honors Program student, Brett Smith has chosen to major in philosophy. During this past year, he filled his spare moments with a discipleship small group, Adopt-A-Block, pep band, intramural softball, and College Republicans (of which he was the chaplain). Although the New London, Ohio native is only a sophomore, he already has his mind set on seminary, marriage, and a large family. I wish to offer my sincerest thanks to the alumni for this scholarship. It encourages me to see that you, having the advantage of hindsight, consider your Cedarville education to have been valuable enough that you wish to assist current students in obtaining the same. Again, thank you. Business Administration As an accounting major, Lindsay LoDico would like to work for a large public accounting firm and become a Certified Public Accountant. The junior is currently an Awana co-leader and the treasurer for Alpha Delta Omega, a women’s service organization. She hails from Washington Township, New Jersey. I would like to express my appreciation to the alumni for awarding me this scholarship. I appreciate the commitment you have shown to Cedarville and its students. Thank you again for the encouragement this award has given me. Communication Arts To say that Craig Vinson loves radio might be an understatement. The Chillicothe, Ohio native has been with student station U99.5 FM since his Cedarville years began, as a DJ, Top 20 host, Request Line host, and now operations director. Next year he will become station manager. An electronic media major, Craig hopes to work at a radio station after graduation. I want to personally thank each and every alumnus who helps make this scholarship possible. College has been a large financial strain on my family, and this gift will help in many ways. The education I receive at Cedarville is worth every penny, and I promise to use what I learn in the future to impact our culture for Christ. Education Lauren Keller plans to obtain her master’s degree after graduation and teach math at either the high school or college level. An integrated mathematics education major, she is also interested in teaching overseas if God so wills. Lauren is a sophomore from Lancaster, Pennsylvania and enjoys tutoring and playing in the orchestra. I would like to thank the alumni who sponsored this scholarship. It means so much to me personally that you would give of your resources to further my education as well as the education of past recipients. Thank you for giving back to Cedarville and its students!
