From the

President’s Desk Dr. Brian MacArthur A year ago I advised the Board of Governors that I would not seek a renewed term as President at Crandall. Eleven full years of service will conclude for me at the end of December, a period of time that sounds longer than it has seemed. As I write this concluding article I have three important thoughts to share.

First, it has been an incredible privilege for me to serve as President of Crandall University. I was very conscious of my limitations in coming to this position, but equally convinced that God had called me to this task and given me assurances for the future. Nonetheless, in my wildest dreams, I could not have imagined all that has happened, or that the university would progress so far during the past decade. I resonate with the words of the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 3:2021, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”

Second, I believe the future of this University will be greater than its past. I have immense appreciation for the strong history of the institution, and for each of its proud chapters as UBBTS, ABC, and ABU. I have come to appreciate more than ever the previous Principals and Presidents. God used each to contribute to the development and progress of what has become Crandall University. Each one helped to lay a foundation for the future. I trust that I have done the same.

I am pleased that Andrew Hopper will become President for an interim period beginning January 1, 2012. I believe his strong faith and professional expertise will wonderfully assist the University during this period of transition as the Presidential Search Committee continues to seek a long-term appointee.

Mr. Hopper has many years of administrative experience in the education field, which combined with his warm Christian spirit, will result in excellent leadership.

I believe Crandall is on the verge of another “wave” of enrolment growth, and will repeatedly set new enrolment records year after year. What excites me is not the numbers

per se, but the fact that each number represents a person who has been drawn to a university where the mission is to transform lives through “quality university education firmly rooted in the Christian faith.” It will give me special pleasure to see Crandall continue to grow in influence and impact.

Third, many have shared in every advancement made by the University, and can equally share in the joy of its mission impact. I would attribute every success at Crandall to God’s blessing and the network of people He has drawn together over many years. From students to members of the faculty and staff, from church leaders to Board members, from sacrificial donors to members of the alumni – many, many people have played a role in the University’s progress. Because a President has special opportunity to observe how people are quietly involved with the university, he comes to appreciate the vast network required for mission success. My personal thanks to all who have attended, worked for, supported and/ or encouraged the mission of the University during my time in office.

The future will require an even larger network of partners.

During this period of transition I invite you to loyally continue to support Crandall University in every way that you can. I believe every investment you make is honoring to God and a source of blessing to students and everyone involved with this great university. God bless you.

Dr. Brian MacArthur President, Crandall University

Interim President

Andrew K. Hopper

An interview with Interim President Andrew K. Hopper Mr. Hopper can you give us some background information?

I have been involved in the field of Education for the past 32 years as a Teacher, Administrator, Learning Specialist, Director of Education and as Superintendent of School District 06. The past six years have been at the Senior Management level. I have also been a member of Gideons in Canada since 1985 and have held numerous positions at the Camp and Provincial level. I had the opportunity to serve for four years at the National Level as National Trustee.

I have been very active within our home church Sussex Baptist over the past number of years as well.

Why Crandall University?

I had been considering retiring this past June; however, last fall the opportunity came along to serve as Superintendent in our District for a period of two years so I decided to accept this position.

This summer I was contacted to see if I would be interested in going through the process as the university was looking for someone to fill the role of Interim president for a period of a year or two. As my wife Helen and I talked about this opportunity and prayed about it - it became very clear to me that this opportunity was definitely of the Lord’s leading. As I continued through the process it became ever clearer to me that this was where the Lord wanted me to be.

I am truly thankful and feel very humbled to be able to serve the Lord by fulfilling the position of Interim President of Crandall University.

Interim President Mr. Andrew K. Hopper

What are some of my plans for my interim time at Crandall?

A couple of areas which I would like to focus on would be student recruitment and raising the profile of the university within the constituency.

What would you like our students to know?

I am very approachable and am open to feedback and suggestions on how they feel things may be improved. I look forward to working with the student executive on issues and concerns which they bring forward for discussion. I enjoy interacting with this age group of students and seeing them grow into responsible leaders within our society. I have a great sense of humor and do enjoy a good laugh – I enjoy working and surrounding myself with positive people.

Recruitment Strategy Consulting Group Noel Levitz Within Atlantic Canada, we are very fortunate to have an excellent selection of colleges and universities that rank among the best in the country. I am consistently impressed with my colleagues at other schools and with the expertise and care that they bring to their campuses. It’s likely fair to say that our region doesn’t need another university added to the mix. However, Crandall isn’t just another university.

When I joined the team at Crandall University a number of years ago, I did so because I believed in the value of higher education and, most importantly, I believed in a university that was both ministryoriented and missional in nature. Crandall believes that, to accomplish the mission of quality university education, firmly rooted in the Christian faith, we must provide strong and innovative academic programs that are led by world-class faculty. Students must have the opportunity to join an intimate and diverse campus community that encourages all areas of development and education. We must show pride in our students and graduates who are known for making an impact in their communities. In ever challenging financial times, we must provide this education for the best value for students’ higher education dollars in the region. It’s no mean feat, but Crandall University is quickly being recognized as a university dedicated to the exploration of truth and excellence for all students, both those with faith backgrounds and those without. We are increasingly seen as Atlantic Canada’s leading liberal arts university devoted to the Christian faith.

To accomplish these ideals, the past year has been one of challenge and celebration as we have intentionally made enrolment and service a campus-wide initiative to build on the success of the past and to ensure a strong future. As our president, Dr. MacArthur, is fond of saying, “Recruitment and retention are everyone’s business at Crandall.” That call to ownership has had a significant impact: a number of services have been realigned in order to facilitate better use of the great people we have on campus to serve our students. Faculty have gone

above and beyond their excellent teaching and research commitments significantly to engage students in clear advising for their futures. Student voices are taking a prominent place in shaping their university.

Course selections and registrations are occurring earlier than ever before. Industry leading recruitment materials showcase the Crandall experience. New measures, including a Student Success Centre, are in

place to ensure student success and learning.

A clear, strategic, and tactical recruitment plan has been established, and a meaningful retention plan is underway. Purposeful reconnection and ministry partnership with churches is seen as an intricate part of who we are. Cross-sectional leadership groups of students, staff, and faculty are in place to ensure that the mission moves forward as we educate some of the best students within the region; and many other changes have been implemented, or are in the works, to serve students who choose Crandall because of our integration of faith and learning, and to serve students who choose us because we are known as a place of academic excellence that prepares people for life.

Great things are happening in response to the campus wide enrolment efforts. This year marks the third consecutive year of full time equivalency (FTE) growth, and we are on track for one of the highest enrolments

in our 60+ year history. Crandall is enjoying an enrolment growth of 5.7% and, within one of our most sizable student populations, we have experienced a 15% increase in just one year. The evident benefit of purposeful and focused efforts of our dedicated staff, students, and faculty is clear.

A recent survey, the 2011 Student Satisfaction Inventory, which compares our students’ thoughts about Crandall to their counterparts’ nationally, shows that we are moving in the right direction. Over 87% of students said that Crandall, as an institution, met, or exceeded, their expectations; 81% said they were satisfied with the Crandall experience; and 77% of students would consider doing it all over again right here at Crandall. What is most notable is that Crandall students expressed greater satisfaction about our university than the national comparison group did about their universities and colleges. While there are still many challenges, we are making a difference as we move forward.

While all of these things are important and represent both great challenge and great celebration, they really point to one thing at the end of all the effort: Crandall is here to change lives. While numbers and programs might excite administrators and planners, the real joy is found in student success.

Students are the reason we are here, plain and simple. To invest in their lives, to help prepare them for what’s next, to help students ask the deeper questions of life, to shake their hands as frightened and excited freshmen and then to shake their hands as they walk the Convocation stage as more confident men and women, is a joy like no other. It’s a great calling which staff, faculty, and students have answered. It’s fair to say that we have a great deal of work left to do and the challenges are real. Yet, Crandall changes the world, one life at a time, by providing a world class education, by offering real faith, and by seeing every student as valuable and worth everything we can offer.

It’s that simple, and it’s that difficult.

Richardson Lane Honouring the University’s 6 President th

How does 911 relate to the naming of a street in honour of a former President of the University?

Construction of an apartment complex on the Crandall campus began in early spring with a completion target date of December 31. The new building is located adjacent to Colburne House, the residence that has housed students since the campus relocated to the Gorge Road in 1996. In the process of seeking necessary approvals for the construction of the new apartment building, the University was advised by the Greater Moncton Planning Commission that it would be wise to name the roadway to the picturesque cul-de-sac on which the residence is located. This would allow the residence and apartment building to each have its own civic address to assist emergency personnel when responding to future 911 calls.

Whereas this matter involved the future safety of students, the University set about to quickly respond to the advisory it had received.

The Board of Governors met in June, and in being briefed on the need was provided with a recommendation to name the street “Richardson Lane.” The name had been chosen to honour Dr. W. Ralph Richardson for his distinguished leadership as the 6th President of the University (1985-2000) and for his service as the first Chancellor of the University (2001-2009.) As one of the two longest serving President’s in Crandall’s history, Dr. Richardson led the University through the Great Expectations Capital Campaign wherein the University relocated to its current site. It seemed fitting to the Board that the first street to be named on the campus would honour the President whose leadership helped to establish the University at this location. The Board unanimously approved the recommendation.

On Friday, September 25th the Crandall community hosted a special naming ceremony. An impressive crowd gathered in the Great Hall meeting area within the Stuart E. Murray Hall to witness the occasion.

Led by the President, Dr. Brian MacArthur, the ceremony included speakers Dr. Seth Crowell,Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Mr. Jack Stultz, Chancellor of the University. Dr. Crowell shared memories from the vantage point of a fellow employee who served with and under Dr. Richardson, and Mr. Stultz from his observations as a former Chair of the Board.

Other participants in the program included Dr. Peter Reid, Executive Minister of the Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches, Reverend Daniel Walton, President of the Convention and a member of the alumni, Mr. Mitchell Smith, President of the Student Association, and Ms. Laura Sutherland, a third year student who provided music.

Mr. John Betts, MLA for Moncton Crescent, brought greetings on behalf of the Province of New Brunswick. His Worship George LeBlanc, Mayor of the City of Moncton offered congratulations on behalf of City Dr. and Mrs. Richardson Council and the citizens of Moncton.

Mr. Greg Cook, the Chair of the Board, made the following formal declaration as part of the program: “It is my pleasure to declare on behalf of the Board of Governors that the first street to be named on the campus of Crandall University shall be called “Richardson Lane” in recognition and honour of the 6th President and First Chancellor of the University, Dr. W. Ralph Richardson.”

With his wife and son Tim observing, Dr. Richardson unveiled the street sign to be erected at the corner of Gorge Road and Richardson Lane. He then responded with appreciation, giving thanks to the Lord for His goodness through his years of service. The afternoon celebrations concluded with a reception in the Stephen S. Steeves Center dining room.

Murray Lecture Dr. Ralph Wood, Baylor University The Fall semester of 2011 marked the celebration of 15 years that Crandall University has been hosting the Stuart E. Murray Lectureship in honour of its last Principal and first President, Dr. Murray, who served the University from 19661980. This year’s lecturer was Dr. Ralph Wood, The Rev. Robert J. Randall Distinguished Professor in Christian Culture from Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

Dr. Wood is one of the world’s foremost scholars on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and therefore it was fitting that he presented a public lecture entitled “Tolkien: Christian Prophet for Our Time of Terror.” He drew a haunting connection between the lure of the rings’ three powers – invisibility, deathlessness, and coercion – to our present day existence where we have the lure of invisibility through the use of our technology, the lure to deathlessness through our advances in medicine and health care, and the lure of coercion through the ever invasive presence of all forms of media as well as the growing reality of addictions and addictive behaviours in our lives.

Despite this ominous message, Dr. Wood reminded us that there are virtuous responses available to each of these threatening lures. He noted that faith is the appropriate virtuous response to a desire for invisibility as it reminds us that we do not walk by sight or by what we can only see and touch.

Likewise to a ‘generation’ that seeks to extend life and avoid

death like none before us, our virtuous response to this lure of skipping death must be one of hope.

Hope reminds us of the importance of purpose and mission and that it matters more how we travel in our life’s journey than how long. Finally, Dr. Wood noted, charity is the only response to a world full of coercive messages. It is also charity that can break Dr. Ralph Wood the bond that addictive attitudes and actions can create in a life.

We were blessed to have Dr. Wood in our midst this fall as he also took time to conduct meetings with our faculty and students and took part in our chapel, classes, and even our Foliage Day walk. He has now returned to Texas, but he has left behind a powerful reminder that the real power source for our lives is not that of the ‘rings’ but of faith, hope, and charity.

Fall 2011 Reflections from a Member of Cohort 21 It felt like unfinished business in my career. I have always wanted to earn a university degree. The Degree Completion Program at Crandall provided a way to leverage my prior academic learning into a Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Organizational Management. This took place during a focused two years, while maintaining a fulltime business career.

Coinciding with my completion of the Professional Studies through Cohort 21, my working role evolved to become the Branch Manager at Dramis Network Cabling Limited. The Organizational Management curriculum has been practical and directly applied to my business management activities.

I started with the goal of modeling to my children, through action, my belief in the importance of life-long learning. I am thankful for the encouragement and support I received from my wife Angela and our three children, Courtney, Tyler, and Haley. My journey was enhanced further by interacting with my fellow cohort 21 members.

I am humbled and pleased to represent our cohort in the Honours Society.

Alumni Leaving a Legacy Crystal Lawrence Bursary Fund Crystal Lawrence, from Moncton, NB, graduated from Crandall University in 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Education degree. During her time at Crandall, Crystal was offered tremendous support by faculty and staff during a difficult health battle that inhibited her studies while at university. In recognition of the support from this university that contributed to the accomplishments of her educational goals, Ms. Lawrence has established the Crystal Lawrence Bursary Fund. The annual award is available to students enrolled in any program of study who face additional challenges than those faced by most students; being possibly learning/physical/ medical or another challenge, requiring the student to work harder to achieve their educational goals.

“Faith as Small as a Mustard Seed” Diagnosed at the young age of two, I had lived with epilepsy for the majority of my life. Seizures were my “normal.” As I approached high school graduation, I started to acknowledge the realities of my future. I realized that my future was going to be a lot different than many of my friends and that those everyday things like being able to drive a car, or independently living on my own, was not necessarily in my near future.

One day, I came home from school exhausted from the number of seizures I had during the day and I just cried and said

the most sincere prayer I have every prayed.

Knowing that I was asking for a miracle, I remembered something I had read in the bible.

It said, “If you have faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move.

Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matt 17:20). Within the next month, my neurologist decided it would be a good idea to refer me for a neuropsychological assessment to see if I would be a good candidate for Epilepsy Surgery as a result of failed medications. My hopes grew high, my faith increased and before I knew it, I was in London, Ontario under observation. On July 25, 2001, one week after intensive observation, I had a successful brain operation. To everyone’s surprise, I made an incredible recovery and was released a few days after my operation. Even though my challenges were far from over and I endured more challenges related to the operation while I was at Crandall University, I am now seizurefree.

During those years, Crandall University had made such a difference in my life. The staff and faculty were very supportive and encouraging. With the cooperation, support and some accommodations from the faculty, I was able to overcome my challenges.

Graduation day was a special day for me because there were times when I was not sure if I was going to make it to graduation.

What I remember the most as a graduate from Crandall University is the faculty’s care and concern for each and every student and the lengths they were willing to go to help a student succeed.

Today, I live a new life. I completed my M.A. in 2009 in Family Life Education and I am currently employed with School District 2. I am married to a wonderful man and we have adopted three older children. Two important lessons that I have learned during my years at Crandall University is that if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, anything is possible, and second, there is no trial or challenge too big for God. Crystal Lawrence (‘05)

“I am humbled and honoured to be representing the alumni on the Board.

I hope that my experience working in local governance will add to the discussions.”

Bev Robart Class of ’87 Moncton, NB Appointed to the Senate 2011

Tribute Trevor Nason , BSc., BEd. ’08 (1984-2011) Trevor Nason was a curious young man.

I first met him in 2002 when I was judging a crystal growing competition at his high school where he debated with me the relative merits of cracks versus holes in grading crystals.

Even at that age he was engaging, bright and determined to make his point.

Trevor would arrive at Crandall University in the fall of 2003. Over the next five years I would teach Trevor in six different courses, five of them with laboratory sections and after his graduation in 2008 we would stay in touch and we would regularly meet in my office or the laboratory or grab a quick lunch together and the student became a colleague.

In Science, the tension between content and wonder is often so high that students get lost in the herculean task of memorizing the trivial and the wonder that first drew them to Science is ground out of them. Not Trevor. As a student he loved Science for the platform that it gave him to see farther and the light it provided to understand more of the Universe.

He would often simply refuse to do anything that made Science boring and he alone of the thousands of students that I have taught over five universities (and I might add to the consternation of his fellow Science students) would ignore the busy work, counting on his exceptional grasp of the principles to lift his grade in the tests and final exams.

Trevor was not a big fan of my linear lecture methods and my focus on what I insisted was “The Right Answer”. It was not unusual to mark one of his exams to discover that he had decided to not answer the question that I had asked but would instead give an answer to a more difficult question that he found more interesting. There were times that his rants on the decline of the quality of Kinder Egg toys would be longer than the answers to the exam questions. For all that, we discovered that we shared a mutual interest the narrative of science and it was there that we would find common ground and communion, regaling each other with the background stories of science that enrich the dry facts of discovery.

If Trevor Nason had a super power it was his curiosity. His curiosity made him fearless.

It made him relentless and it was the fuel for his infectious enthusiasm for Science. No stage was too small, or too large, no audience too ignorant or too learned for Trevor.

He would go to churches and give science

demonstrations to children for free or on national television in the Discovery Channel’s “Iron Science Teacher” with the same winning attitude. Indeed, just a couple of months after his victory on national television he would be a keynote speaker at a conference for university chemistry professors explaining his teaching philosophy. He lived the Kipling dictum to “walk with kings and not lose the common touch”. Everyone that met Trevor could feel the promise embodied in this young, enthusiastic spokesman for Science.

Crandall University was the ideal environment for Trevor who cultivated an interest in all Science, which he was free to explore in a liberal arts institution. The intimate learning environment, coupled to his wicked sense of humour and gregarious nature allowed him to develop life-long friendships among his fellow students and provided a platform for him to shine in student productions, videos, group presentations, blogs and science magic shows. He recognized the value of his Crandall experience and strongly supported Science outreach programs by the university. Indeed, he would volunteer for several years in the Crandall Science LabEx program for homeschooled and Christian schooled high school students providing both leadership and content to the curriculum.

His transition from Science student to Education student was seamless at Crandall and allowed Trevor to not only learn what he loved but also to develop that love into a profession. In our conversations it was clear that Trevor measured his success as a teacher not by assessing if the student knew more science but if the student was more enthusiastic about science. He was convinced that students that were enthusiastic about Science did not have to be taught for they would naturally learn, as he did, following their own curiosity.

By the time that Trevor graduated in 2008 with degrees in Biology and Education he was already recognized by his colleagues for his exceptional character as a teacher and would shortly be granted a contract with the local school district. He was glad to be working but even in our last conversation together he mused that he did not feel that he had completed his education and was beginning to think about the next steps in his academic career.

It says in Titus that we should live so that others would have “nothing bad to say about us”. Trevor lived that life before his family and friends, before his students and fellow teachers and in his community. The very real and tangible proof of the kind of life that he lived was demonstrated in the profound response of the whole community at his memorial.

A tree cannot grow in the desert and the study in grace and grief offered by his family demonstrated how curiosity, nurtured by love, leads to the extraordinary.

By Dr. Mel Schriver The Trevor Nason Memorial Science Bursary Fund is established as a lasting tribute to the life and memory of Trevor. The Fund shall create an award to be presented annually to a deserving senior student enrolled in the Crandall University Science Program that best captures the ability, curiosity and enthusiasm for Science as demonstrated by Trevor Nason and who demonstrates a desire to continue into either an Education or Science postgraduate program.

Donations to the Trevor Nason Memorial Science Bursary Fund may be sent to: Crandall University, Advancement Office, Box 6004, Moncton, NB E1C 9L7 (506) 863-6444 www. crandallu.ca

Reunions 50’s Reunion– August 13-14, 2011 Forty alumni and their guests attended the 50’s Reunion hosted at Crandall University on August 13th and 14th. While many of these alumni live in the Maritimes, others came from as far away as Ontario. After a morning of reminiscing, many toured the campus to see just how much their alma mater has evolved over time. The group enjoyed a hymn sing led by Seth and Dawn (Ramey) Crowell (’73) with Shirley (Morehouse) Estey (‘53) playing the piano. The evening banquet featured Marjorie (Gordon) Hicks (’62) as the Master of Ceremonies and Jack Stultz (’52) as the special speaker. Rosalind (McGowan) Jeffreys (’59) and Florence Keeley (’57) also provided entertainment and music at this event. On Sunday, the group enjoyed an intimate church service led by fellow alum Dan Ferguson (’59) and morning speaker, Dr. Ralph Richardson (’64) in Crandall’s prayer chapel in the newly constructed Stultz Hall. The weekend was brought to a close with a farewell luncheon on Sunday.

Leaving with fondest memories in their hearts, the 1950’s alumni look forward now to reuniting with even more friends at their next reunion scheduled for August 10-11, 2013!

50’s, 60’s and 80’s 60-64 Alumni Reunion – Sept. 17-18, 2011 More than fifty people gathered in Pleasantville, NS for the 22nd annual get-together of the 1960-64 UBBTS Alumni group. For a few of them, it was the first reunion they had ever attended; but as the others re-connected and reminisced with them, the years that had passed since they last saw one another just seemed to melt away. On Saturday evening, people were given an opportunity to share what these reunions have meant to them, and a recurring theme was the sense of being a family that existed when they were at UBBTS, and which is still the case. In fact, one of the newcomers to the reunions commented at the end of that evening that you could just sense the love within the group.

A regular event each year is forming a choir and singing in the Sunday morning church service. This year, thanks to the efforts of Shirley Steeves and Hal Cormier, there was also a men’s quartet, a mixed quartet, a ladies’ ensemble, a men’s ensemble, and a soloist. Some of the words of the song that the men’s quartet sang that weekend sum up quite well the value of these friendships which have endured the passage of 50 some years – “Old friends, what a find! What a priceless treasure!...Old friends, I’m a rich millionaire in old friends.”

Join us next year at our next 1960-64 reunion to be held on Sept. 22-23, 2012!

80’s Reunion - July 6-7, 2012 1980-1989 seems like a long time ago; but among friends, it was just yesterday. All students who studied at ABC during the 80’s are encouraged to mark their calendars for an 80’s reunion to be held on July 6-7, 2012 at Crandall University. This will be a great opportunity to reconnect with friends, making new memories for tomorrow as well as recalling memories from yesterday.

We’re planning two great days of events with you in mind. Join the 1980’s Alumni Reunion Facebook page, spread the word and make your plans to attend. I’m really looking forward to seeing you there.

She also has multiple years of teaching part-time for the University of Prince Edward Island and is presently a Ph.D. Candidate with the University of South Australia where she is researching the impact of care in students lives as an instrument of learning. Nancy is also the Women’s Basketball Coach.

The year 2011, like past years, saw several of our faculty members participating in the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences Conference, hosted this year by UNB in Fredericton. Each of our

participants presented papers at their different professional society meetings. For instance, this year Dr. Sam Reimer, Professor of Sociology, presented to the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Society for the Study of Religion a paper entitled “Pentecostal Congregations in Canada.” Dr. Keith Bodner, Professor of Religious Studies presented “Simeon and The Social Network: Plot and Genealogy in 1 Chronicles 4,” as part of the Ancient Historiography Seminar at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies. In addition, two of our English literature professors Drs. Abram Steen and Greg Maillet presented at their meetings of the Association of Canadian College and University Teachers of English.

Dr. Maillet presented “Truth, Being, Beauty: Balthasar in literature and the experience of God” and Dr. Steen presented “Searching for Transcendence: the role of literature in Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age.” Both Dr. Reimer and Dr. Steen have also attended conferences in the United States this fall. Dr. Reimer coauthored “Churches, Budgets, and Part time staff” with Rick Hiemstra of EFC and they presented it in Milwaukee at the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion. Dr. Steen was at Middle State Tennessee University in October presenting his paper titled “Nonconformity ‘in a dying hour’: Milton’s Samson and the Regicides.”

Evans (Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 2011) 14757 and Dr. Sam Reimer has recently authored “Orthodoxy Niches” as part of the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion.

Professors Stewart West, Nancy MacIntosh, and Drs. Wendy Bokhorst-Heng and Joan FlaggWilliams combined their research interests and presented together on “Literacy Narratives: An Analytical Journey.” In addition, Education Department Coordinator, Bryan Taylor, presented on a software tool used for assessment purposes. His presentation was titled “SPARKplus: Self

and Peer Assessment Resource Kit.” The Crandall University Education program is working on a joint project with Dr. Keith Willey at the University of Technology in Australia. The project involves working in the area of Self and Peer Assessment through using a program called SPARKplus developed at UTS. The program is primarily intended to facilitate teamwork and enhance student learning. Crandall is one of only two universities in Canada involved in this partnership. Crandall’s Education program is also involved in a research project being operated out of Kent State University in Ohio. The research has to do with the matter of Multiple Intelligence and the potential to use MI’s as a means to assist in selecting individuals best suited for human resource needs.

FUTURE FOUNDATIONS Campaign enters last lap In a race, the last lap is usually the toughest and yet the most critical to victory. The Future Foundations Capital Campaign is now entering that final lap. It is important that we end well to position Crandall University for continuing growth. The goal has never been to build buildings, but to make room for more students.

Many donors have contributed since the campaign began in late 2009 – individuals, businesses, foundations and other organizations. And while the speculation keeps growing about when the campaign will reach its target, the announcements of major gifts to the Future Foundations Campaign keep coming. Recently, the university was the grateful recipient of a $30,000 donation from CIBC and a donation of $5000 from Manulife Financial.

The response to the campaign has been tremendous given all the financial challenges supporters and churches are facing. We are thrilled at the level of confidence that has been indicated by donors who have contributed $16,732,425 (88%) of the total fundraising goal of $19,000,000.

To donate or to get more information on the campaign go to www.futurefoundations.ca or call the Crandall Advancement Office at 1-888-968-6228.
