2002 Miracle Yearbook

Maddox lounges offer enough space for girls to bring their key- boards to freshen up their musical talents. ■ 1 / 1 1 1 1 Women's Residential Life CI ose to Home Dorm living is close to the heart ofnearly every student ofthe Cedarville campus. Late nights, snack food, giggles, squeals, ring downs,the soft music ofDelilah, and the loud sounds ofN'Sync are some characteristics ofwomen's dorm life that have trickled down through the ages and through the halls. Residence Life is constantly changing, and new members ofthe staff this year were Courtney Atwell,RD ofPrinty, and Amy Dirr,RD ofMaddox. The Residence Life theme for Resident Assistant training week was "Life Means so Much" taken from a song written by Chris Rice. Angela Rudd,a Resident Assistant in Johnson,commented that the theme helped her not to be distracted by the details and to make every day valuable. She was taking advantage ofthe theme in her hall meetings and said, "We Who says you can't make your bathroom in Faith feel like home? talk about living a purposeful life and just the way that God has created and chosen and gifted us for His purpose,and I think the two concepts are closely related." While many students looked forward to moving off campus,others liked the unity and family-like atmosphere ofthe dorm. Cheryl Gumprecht,a senior ofJohnson,said,"I like the way the dorm keeps you connected with the campus. It's also convenient and close to classes. Living with 100 girls, there is always someone who you can talk to and help or receive help from." Cedarville University liked having its students on campus,and building the new dorm behind the track will allow for that. The new residence hall will be completed by fall of2002 and will add many additional spaces for women to enjoy residence life in the new year. Activities 135
