2006 Miracle Yearbook

Ellen Ahern shared that "part of the reason the nursing department feels more like a family than an academic department is because of the work of CNA, which tans parties throughout the year s unity among nursing majors." Service was an essential aspect for the Academic Professional organizations this year. Several teams were either instrumental in assisting other students within the field or helping out the community through various academically-related projects. Having these various opportunities to put their majors into practice gave members of academic professional orgs excellent insight into their future careers. Cedarville's chapter of the Music Educators National Conference(MENC)was able to be a service to both the community and to students within the organization. For example, vice president and senior Isaac Judd explained,"We were able to reach out to different schools in the community by giving instrument demonstrations for schools that had budget cuts." He also mentioned that MENC hosted a freshman banquet to network new students with experienced upperclassmen in their major. The Society for Technical Communication (STC) was incredibly fruitful this year, in several different areas. First, at the very beginning of the year, the STC's meeting for undeclared freshmen yielded two new Technical Et Professional Communication majors. Several meetings also gave new majors a professional perspective, as several seniors spoke of their internships and future plans with their major. The STC also provided services for several various groups of people, as senior and President Laura Castle explained:"Some of our notable projects this year were the PowerPoint presentations for Dr. Deardorff and Dr. Mills when they led chapel for two days in the fall, three websites for local businesses, and a magazine ad for a man who makes archery equipment." It was clear to see that these and other academic/professional organizations not only served their members but also those in the surrounding community. I'Melody Terry, Rachel Tellish, and pass out candy from years in the nursing program, exciting moments we shared found out there's really more are as fun as the students." • .A.
