m C At every university there are professors who stand out for making a difference. At Cedarville we are very blessed to have many people who do make a big difference in the lives of those around them. These are the people who genuinely care about the students they work with and desire to see everyone succeed in what they are doing. Someone who exemplifies these characteristics is Mrs. Margaret Stowell Wheeler whose energetic laugh, radiant smile and unique accessories have the ability of turning everyone's head here on campus. Mrs. Wheeler, a New Jersey native, attended Cedarville for her college years, graduating in 1964. While a student here, Mrs. Wheeler involved herself in a myriad of activities; in addition to involvement in student council and theatre, she was a member of the radio staff as well as serving as editor-in-chief for the Miracle yearbook. Married forty-four years to whom she refers as "the good man," Margaret is a mother of six beautiful daughters who are all now married, giving her seven grandchildren to brag about. Anyone who has ever sat in one of Mrs. Wheeler's classes can attest to the way her family is very important to her. Mrs. Wheeler is always sharing stories and photographs of weddings and grandkids, creating a special relationship with students where all can feel comfortable sharing memories. Staying home to raise her children while they were small, Mrs. Wheeler made her triumphant return to Cedarville University in 1995, serving as Assistant Professor of Communication Arts. Seeing the way God gives worth and talent to every student makes teaching so special for Mrs. Wheeler, as she finds joy in encouraging each student to develop that talent to its greatest potential for God's glory. Aside from teaching students how to organize their speeches and write attention grabbingintroductions, Mrs. Wheeler finds several other avenues to exhaust her abundance of zest and energy. She is a member of the over 100 year old "Tuesday Literary Club" where she enjoys researching, writing about, and presenting on various subjects. Beyond that, Mrs. Wheeler also invests time into the Nobel Circle Sisters. Being a breast cancer survivor herself, she enjoys being a part of this group of cancer survivors who are committed to physical, emotional, and spiritual support though their seminars and retreats. To "the good man," she is a creative, visionary, wise, loving, insightful, bright, beautiful and, above all, feisty woman; he claims his forty-four years with her has been an exciting journey. Through all of her blessings and personal struggles, she is to be commended for not only her accomplishments, but strength and her amazing optimism through it all. With everything in her past, present, and future, Mrs. Wheeler says that she "could not have a better life." 0 0

Going to see that special someone? Nope, you've arrived for Getting Started Weekend! Instead of a wary father, you were greeted by a giant bee. This was the premise of Getting Started Weekend: "Amazing; everyone made me feel like I was back at home." (Jesse Jones, freshman) Following tne exploits of all the new students, this tale took you on a journey of intrigue and mystery. And though it was " kinda awkward not knowing anyone, people were very welcoming!" (Stacie Beres, freshman) The new students aren't the only stars of this show. Serving as supporting characters, plenty of returning students come back early to help out. " It was great to be able to help freshmen move in so we could make their transition to college go well. It was a really fun time to get to know them and meet their families. " (Evan Wicker, senior). But this story wasn't all fun and games. " I don't think I could have carried all of those clothes and accessories up by myself! My muscles couldn't take that astonishing weight of all those hangers!" (Lauren McIntosh, freshman) But the action didn't stop there! As the new students continued on in their epic arrival at college, "There were a ton of meetings... ! believe it helped in making everyone feel at home." (Reese Stevenson, freshman) From conferences with Dr. Brown to breakfast with the academic departments, Getting Started Weekend had it all. There are no signs of stopping for freshman Dan Ormsby, as he enthusiastically carts his hard drive to his new Lawlor room. With long lines and piles of paperwork, CU's Getting Started program attempts to ease the strain of a student's first day. I

You come back to Cedarville and are immediately saturated in the Word of God. It's special because of the in-depth material that each and every one of us can relate to. It makes you want to serve and praise God all the more!" (Cliff Smith, sophomore) This year, the university welcomed speaker, evangelist, and radio host, Mr. Ron Hutchcraft. Having spent over forty years ip ministry, Hutchcraft was able to present practicalsuggestionsaboutliving lifecenteredon Christ. Throughout the conference, Hutchcraft encouraged the student body to be satisfied with nothing less than living the abundant life God intended for His followers. With this aim, he presented messages about being an "Unsinkable Person," avoiding the "Seven Dirty Secrets of a Christian College," and learning how to "Lose the Baggage." "For me, it was very enlightening. We get so caught up with the idea of living our lives for God that we forget that it's a day by day process." (Jen Lester, senior) Returning a second time to lead music for the Fall Bible Conference were Matt and Whitney Rexford. Rexford, a 1998 Cedarville graduate, is a singer and songwriter who serves as worship pastor at Southside Fellowship in Greenville, SC. Rexford and his wife aimed to facilitate worship focused on God 's Word. "They used creative multimedia tools to encourage worship, while still maintaining a genuine quality in which it was obvious that the Lord, and not the experience, was being praised. It was wonderful to see that all the 'bells and Whistles' don't have to overpower the truth contained in the songs." (Chrissy Pupillo, senior) "Matt (Rexford) would encourage us before every session of the Bible Conference to play with joy." (Nate Mccloskey, junior) Anchoring the student body at the beginning of the Fall Bible Conference, Or.

I.,, r- .... en ; rrFor the first time at Cedarville University, the Student Org Fair did not coincide with Alumni Weekend. Student orgs put together booths to woo more members of the student body into their ranks, and a good time was had by all . Students enjoyed the use of the entire Stevens Student Center and Dixon Ministry Center parking lots, which they filled with booths of all varieties. Returning favorites were the marshmallow blowers from Alpha Delta Gamma and the tattoos applied by the ladies of Phi Epsilon Beta. The Delta Phi Sigma girls put goldfish in bowls and made people throw ping pong balls into the water. Collective praise for the booth comes from two of its members: "The atmosphere was pretty thrilling, and a lot of people walked away with their own fish. " (Nicole Rose and Robin Provo, seniors) An organization brand new to the fair, the Icarus Collective, Cedarville's poetry organization , put out coffee and crackers, played music and read poetry aloud. "Students generally didn' t stop in, and generally gave us weird looks, butwe did entice a few prospective members." (Scott Kordic, junior) Splitting off from Alumni Weekend provided a less crowded atmosphere for students to mingle with their own and gave organizations more room to distinguish themselves. There was so much room, in fact, that art students were able topaint a mural on theside of a van: an Abercrombie and Fitch model, bleeding from his side, with caption " I want a Jesus who will take me shopping," provoking viewers to reevaluate their consumerist priorities. This year's success will certainly bring the Fall Fling back for 2008. Seniors Dave Sizemore and John Rice paint a van for purpose. "We were trying to make a statement about consumerism and Christianity," Sizemore explained. CU Transformed, the premier paintball org on campus, encourages students at the Fling to don a helmet and take aim. "C "T1 0 0 "C C: C: .., iii co' .., D> D> :1 C: (I) ...

::c 0 7 m n 0 7 ;!: . . . . . . CU "Under the Big Top" made its debut at Alumni Homecoming on October 5-6 this year, featuring a three-ring circus of fun, excitement, and the ability to reunite with old friends. All the classic elements of homecoming combined with over 600 alumni families made for a weekend full of "great opportunities for alumni to come back to campus and reconnect with their friends and what is going on around campus." (Alise Merrin, Sophomore, Alumni Relations Office) Homecoming served as an opportunity for alumni to catch up with each other, attend reunions, and maybe even "take you back to a time when you were someone else - someone you almost forgot about." (Jill McClain, Class of 1987) Homecoming brings back people whose only connection to each other may be Cedarville. For some it's a time to see "those certain ones that you can be away from for years and, when you get back together, it is like no time at all has passed (McClain)." It was an action-packed weekend filled with canoe races, soccer and volleyball games, reunions, a parade, and play performances that created ''fun for the whole family, " (McClain) and more than just a trip down memory lane. A time for reconnecting with your college days became so much more with the excitement and atmosphere of Homecoming 2007. Alumni gave "CU Under the Big Top" two thumbs up! " Holly Israel and I definitely did not mind riding in a convertible on such a beautiful fall morning!" (Baxter Stapleton, freshman attendant) " I offered pieces of cotton candy to spectators, but they were disappointed when they saw it wasn' t real!

p % 0 m ~ n m N C) - ; rrUnder a sun y September sky, hundreds of alumni and students gathered on the shores of Cedar Lake to watch the annual Freshman Cardboard Canoe Race. However, this year's rite of passage for freshman engineering students ca'me with a few extra twists. While in the past canoes had to hold an additional passenger, the race organizers decided for the 2007 contest to give students fewer materials and require only the two paddlers in the vessel. On top of this, Dr. Gerry Brown implemented a new challenge of adding cargo along the way by ijicking up gallon milk jugs filled with seven eounds of water. Dr. Robert Chasnov, Assistant to the Chair of the Engineering Department, explained that their reason for the change of rules was "to keep the competition from getting stale." In spiteof the new challenges, freshmen Colten Mounce, Paul Ikeda, Greg Donaldson, and Joshua Tucker beat a strong field of contenders by navigating their paper vessel across Cedar Lake in just under two minutes. Ikeda, the chief designer of the canoe, claimed that the size of the team's boat contributed to their boat's ~peed and agility in the water, enabling it to "wi thstand a good amount of torque and stress." Tucker, one of the paddlers, explained the confidence they had in heir design when "about half-way across the lake, Greg and I started digging our paddles deep [and found] we could maneuver the cardboard boat like an actual canoe." It was this strength and maneuvera ility that enabled the team to win the 2007 Cardboard Ganoe Race and collect the prize of a Tl -89 Titanium Calculator. The Comm. Arts competitors proudly display their creative wreckage...minus the fancy sail that once adorned their "canoe."

N N ; rrPicture a world full of vibrant color and outrageous costumes, quack doctors, and rap music, and there you have Cedarville University's performance of Moliere's The Imaginary Invalid. From an electric wheelchair to over-sized needles and spring-shoes, the show drew quite the crowd and filled up almost every seat in the house. The Imaginary Invalid was an energetic, in-your-face satire of the ineffective "cures" of the " learned" doctors who were distracted more by money than healthcare. Several audience members thought CU's rendition was very effective: "The set was remarkable - no straight edges anywhere, like something out of Or. Seuss. I think it helped the cast attain a level of weirdness that helped translate Moliere's jokes for a modern audience." (Anna Cummings, senior) Freshman Jessica Buchanan exclaimed, "There were points where I didn't think I wo Id ever stop laughing!" Buchanan also remarked, "The actors were all over-the-top, adding to the comedy." From the hypochondriac lead and his smart-aleck maid to the money-hungry stepmother and her equally greedy notary, each character added their own touch of humor to the show. Meagan Ray's favorite character was the maid: "Toinette had sass and attitude... she was definitely the funniest character." "My favorite character was Thomas Diafoirus," Cummings claimed. " It is amazing to me that anyone could behave that weirdly for so long and make me laugh for so long." Attendees ranged from sixth graders from Cedar Cliff Middle School to prospective students' families in for CU Friday, and the show left all attendees in stitches. "I think it was the best play I 've seen in the three and a half years I' ve been here!" (Angela Bacon, senior) Argan (Michael Domeny, junior) naively finds relief in the arms of his scheming wife, Beline (Kelsey Nelson, senior).

-r, m m Several CU events this Fall were traditional favorites: Moonlight Madness, Dorm Wars, New Student Talent Show, and the Day of Prayer all returned in full force this year, but not without a few improvements to keep it fresh. Moonlight Madness, in addition to the always popular Slam Dunk Contest and scrimmages, included an option for fans to purchase pink "Cedarville Basketball" iT-Shirts to raise money to find a cure for breast cancer. Dorm Wars, in its second consecutive year, grew in popularity. By the end of a war-waged week, Maddox upset Lawlor's confidence even though it was thought "Lawlor has the best chance of winning...since we have sooo much dorm pride..." according to junior RA Mike fngle. Bold and confident in the forthcoming Maddox victory, senipr RA Elyse Fye and her girls said, "We had no Idea Lawlor was even in the running ..." Also sticking with a strong formula, the New Student Talent Show delighted audiences once again with impressive singing, acrobatics, comedy, and drama. Freshman Zach Sanderson enjoyed winner Negative 1's powerful drama because "it did a good job of having a realistic redemption theme." The Day of Prayer observed the cultural movements of the school year and integrated it into the day's activities. The unique motif allowed students to "experience the power that ijrayer can have, and...encourage students to build prayer into a part of their daily life." (Allison Uones, junior) This sparked such social outreach activites as the Jena 6 prayer vigil and the Fast for l=ood evenl The biggest surprise, however, came at the conclusion of the season with the arrival of The P.E.A.C.E. project distributed green ribbons "because they represented growth and overcoming hate."

The weekend after Thanksgiving break, Cedarville's resident halls opened their doors for the annual Christmas Open Dorms, an event which showed the creativity and spirit of Cedarville students. In Willetts, a hall jokingly declared their hall "All I want for Christmas is my MRS. (:jegree." In Lawlor and in Maddox, visitors could walk through Santa's workshop. The winning halls were announced the following weekend at Campus Christmas. Faith's "Christmas dinner goes through the digestive system" hall won overall for the women's dorms. Mcchesney Upper Middle's "Aborigine Christmas" won the grand prize for the men on campus. SCAB (The StudentsCenterActivities Board) pulled off a bigger, brighter, bolder Campus Christmas than in years past. "We decided to try something new for Campus Christmas this year with a student-led Christmas concert and movie in the DMC." (Jennifer Flynn, senior SCAB member) "[Planning] was kind of a challenge, because we were trying to make something attractive and new... l think it came out to be a success...it also left a lot more options open for the next years, because we did something different..." (Micah Chamber, senior SCAB member) The event began with a time of pictures with Santa, also known as Larry Reid, and refreshments. After student bands played our favorite Christmas tunes, Dr. Brown read Christmas stories to the students, and the night ended with the movie "The Santa Clause." New this Christmas, Dr. Brown's story time was relocated to the Jeremiah Chapel. Here, Dr. Brown reads " My Dad Ran Over a Frog." "Our theme was 'Christmas at the North Pole.' I was standing in our unit lounge, next to a polar bear and the North Pole. I was an eskimo.' ' (Stefan Martello, sophomore)

---1 < m n 0 C 1% n rw 0 The 2007-2008 year at Cedarville University has been incredible. I will remember with fondness the enthusiastic and positive spirit of the student body. I do not think I have ever experienced such an upbeat year. Many thanks to all of you who chose to keep your eyes on our Lord and lift up those around you. It has been exciting to see the construction of the Center for Biblical & Theological Studies. Those of you who are of the class of 2008, of course, I know are disappointed that the CBTS will not be a part of your college experience (except you had to walk around the fence everyday!). God's faithfulness to Cedarville University in providing such an outstanding facility is a reminder of His intention to use us for His glory in this world. Our theme this year, "God's Word: Timeless Truth for a Changing Culture," has provided us with great opportunity to recommit ourselves to what is important. I hope that Cedarville University 2007-2008 will be a reminder to all of us how crucial God's Word is in our lives wherever He may lead us. Dr. William Brown President

Dr. Pam Johnson Dean The 2007-08 academic year has been an exciting time for the new School of Social Sciences and Human Performance as we have sought to become a cohesive unit serving the students more effectively. As the most unique School at Cedarville, with five academic departments and two co-curricular program departments in our make-up, we have been involved with almost every student in the University, seeking to help them become a better prepared, more mature Christ-follower. To that end we provided more than 25 major and minor programs, an array of core curriculum courses like PACL, General Psychology and Cultural Anthropology, and various program offerings through our Campus Recreation Department. Our 14-team Yellow Jacket Athletic Department provided over 300 student-athletes intense competitive experiences where valuable lessons in living the Christian life were practiced and tested. The Athletic Training Department faculty and staff provided both essential athletic training services for the athletic program, and also used it for key clinical education opportunities for athletic training students. Through various majors offered in our departments of Education, Exercise and Sport Science, Psychology, and Social Work, Criminal Justice and Sociology we have prepared a cadre of students ready to influence their world for Christ. We have prepared them to do that as licensed social workers, certified teachers in more than 20 licensure areas, certified athletic trainers, or through entry level positions in criminal justice, psychology, sociology, exercise science and sport management, or to enter graduate school in any of these areas. We look forward to hearing what He does through them!

I am truly blessed to be leading an outstanding faculty and staff of four diverse departments that comprise the school. The quality of each of these people is without question, excellent. Each has responded to the call of ourLord Jesus on their lives to teach the students that He brought across their paths. The departments of Nursing, Science and Math, Engineering and Computer Science, and Business Administration each desire to impart vocational knowledge, godly wisdom, and character at a minimum so that graduating students can be contributing Christians in life and to the fields into which they are called. Even before I was a believer in Christ , I charted out my life to conclude with a "deanship" at a small college somewhere. After becoming a believer, I spent almost two more decades in industrial research, almost forgetting my earlier desires of being a dean. Then the Lord shifted me from industry to the academy. After nine years of teaching in Pennsylvania, He called me to be dean at Cedarville. I've been thanking and praising him ever since. or. Stan Baczek Dean While I minister to students, most directly through my five, yes five dean's lists, I see my primary role as ministering to my faculty to me0 t ~ ,,. their needs so that they can, in turn, minister to students.

C C - rn ~ Dr. Thomas Hutchison Interim Dean Interim Chair • Just before the start of the 2008-2009 school year the Department of Biblical Education was reorganized and became the School of Biblical and Theological Studies. I was appointed as interim dean. Three new departments were formed and interim chairs were appointed. Dr. Chris Miller served as Interim Chair for the Department of Biblical Studies, Dr. Don Grigorenko for the Department of Ministry and Mission, and Dr. Greg Couser for the Department of Theology and Philosophy. Dr. Scott Dixon was appointed Director of the Bible minor, giving oversight to this important part of the University curriculum. These changes provide greater resources for faculty so that students can be served more effectively. Part of the excitement this year was watching construction of the new Center for Biblical and Theological Studies. A significant part of the Cedarville experience is the Bible minor as every student completes one full semester of Bible classes. The building represents our commitment to equip every student with knowledge of the Bible, skills for a lifetime of study, an intentional process for sustaining spiritual growth, and tools to engage the world for Christ. Our majors are being prepared to be leaders in this great work for the kingdom of Jesus Christ in a broad range of vocational ministries. We ask for God's continued blessings on each of our students, and encourage all of us to take seriously Paul's instruction in 1 Timothy 4:15-16: "Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers." (NIV) DEPARTMENT OF BIBLICAL STUDIES Dr. David W.

n , z .... n, z z - J> rr- - a, ~ ~ t Lynn Brock Dean of Library Services , Fran Andrews Office Manager The 2007/2008 academic year for the Library included a milestone and a several new beginnings. A milestone was recognized as the campus community celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Curriculum Materials Center, which has been in four buildings during that span of time and in its current location since the Centennial Library was opened in 1987. Then there were several new beginnings. The staff of the Media Resource Center, which had its start in the 1970's, launched a re-designed and re-named service center called MediaPLEX, focusing specifically on serving students with imaging, graphics, multi-media, video integration, craft, and collaboration services. In the Fall, faculty and students returned to discover a newly designed, more user-friendly Library web site, and for Freshmen, the implementation of the "Amazing Race," a different approach to assisting freshmen in orientation to Library resources and services. The Library staff enhanced their ability to service faculty and students more effectively, and to expand the Library's instructional services program, with the addition of two new Library faculty members filling the Information Services Librarian and Instructional Services Librarian positions. The end of the academic year found the Library participating for the third time in the national library satisfaction survey called LibQUAL. This on-line survey allowed University students, faculty, and staff to evaluate their satisfaction with Library staff, resources, and services.

However, the team shattered all previous records and stopped all hearts with a stunning sweep of awards and culminating championships during spring break's NCCFI National Christian Tournament in Nashville. Besides overall debate sweepstakes, overall forensics sweepstakes, and overall school sweepstakes, the teams brought home a number of individual awards and quality awards at that tournament and throughout the year, praising character and performance. Laced with a bit of sarcasm, Shirzadian commented, "We are the best debaters in all of Christendom!" (Michael Shirzadian, sophomore debate team member) A l ittle school pride always helps performance. Members of the Forensics Team, Brad Augustine, Katlyn Hiteshew, Elizabeth Gingell, Michael Domeny, Denise Serna, and Kyle Haring compete at The 'Holiday Frolic' at OSU in December. The Debate Team continues to grow in success and reputation at Cedarville, having placed 8th at the National Debate Tournament sponsored by the National Parliamentary Debate Association, which is the largest intercollegiate debate association in the U.S.
