Dr. Wetzel,chairman ofthe Science and Math Tipnartmpnt Science and Mathematics Dr. Wetzel is excited about the changes in the Science and Math Department.Four new professors are coming next year; one will be the first full-time female faculty member in the department.Two ofthe new professors will be filling new positions,one in biology and one in math.A new trigonometry based physics course may also be added.The department is also trying to add some younger professors,as well as keep up their high percentage ofthose with doctorates. More obvious to students will be the change in the building where the Science and Math Departmentis housed.The old science center has been almost completely renovated. Air conditioning,sprinklers,new carpeting and paint have given it a more modern look. Rebricking the science center helps it match the motifofCedarville's campus. The addition ofthe new facility is probably the most exciting change on campus.Dr. Wetzel,who chaired the committee that planned the new building,said faculty and student lounges,twelve new classrooms,and another computer center will make it possible for every one to take advantage ofit. The Science and Math Department will benefitfrom professors offices,two biology labs,a physical science lab,and a geolo lab. Cedarville's Science and Math Department is leading the way in preparing students to face 21st century challenges and technology. •Jim Foster Social ciences an istory Major changes are under way in the Department of Social Science and History for the 1992-93 academic year. Perhaps the greatest is the addition ofthe soc work major. Recognizing the immediate need for Christian social workers,the department has made the effort to have all coursework in place for the fall. Along with this change,the department has added new faculty member,Miss Cynthia Sutter. • Mindy Boo Cindy Sutter,new professor ofSocial Work. photo by Marsha Olsen. Academics 19
