From the President’s Desk 70 Years Later Staff & Faculty News Alumni News Professional Programs Chargers Athletics Updates
FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK Bruce Fawcett, Ph.D. As we enter the summer season we are gearing up to celebrate Crandall University’s 70th anniversary with a Gala Dinner on September 28th. At this event we will have an opportunity to both celebrate the past and also look ahead with anticipation of the continued development of this young and vibrant University. As I look back on the recent past, the 2018/2019 academic year, I am struck by many achievements to celebrate: Despite the enrollment challenges faced by many universities in our region, we are pleased to report that Crandall’s overall enrollment in 2018/2019 increased by more than 4%. We anticipate an even greater increase next year, partly due to our new focus on recruiting international students. This past year we welcomed students who were born in 25 different countries. More than 35 of these students came to Crandall on study visas, a number that we anticipate will increase next year. In support of this international student initiative, generous donors have provided in excess of $400,000 in seed funding through this year’s Reaching Beyond Our Borders campaign. Partly due to the increased investments made by our donors in providing more scholarships for Arts, Business, and Science students, we noticed that the academic ability of our entering classes continues to rise. About a quarter of our entering class in Fall 2018 had high school graduation averages of 95% or higher! We continue to grow our varsity athletics program. Recently we added a boxing program, the only varsity boxing team in Atlantic Canada. This winter our team travelled to the US Military Academy at West Point, New York to compete in a tournament. We look forward to welcoming teams from West Point, Cornell, Penn, and

other American universities for a tournament at Crandall on October 5th. We also plan to add women’s volleyball this coming Fall. Athletes on our teams continue to win league-wide recognition by being named to First and Second All-Conference Teams. Our University Senate has approved two new academic programs for launch in 2019. A new French Immersion Education Certificate will equip our graduates to teach in the French immersion programs in our public school systems. A new Certificate in Business is designed to appeal to our international students. Finally, I am pleased to note the long-awaited change to the Province of New Brunswick’s student bursary policy. Previously, New Brunswick students who wished to attend private post-secondary institutions in the province were excluded from a new bursary program added several years ago. This is no longer the case. I am grateful for the leadership of Premier Higgs, Finance Minister Steeves, and Post-Secondary Minister Holder on this file, as well as all the other MLAs on the government and opposition benches who have supported this move toward fairness for all students from New Brunswick. Now New Brunswick students who wish to attend Crandall will have access to all the same provincial bursaries and scholarships as everyone else. Thank you for your support for Crandall University which helps make these achievements a reality. Watch for an opportunity to sign up for the Gala in the coming months - we look forward to seeing you there!

70 YEARS LATER Dr. Robert Knowles Vice President for Advancement
French critic Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr has been credited as saying “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” Many people have heard (and used) that phrase. When applied to Crandall University it does not take long to identify the changes and “sameness” of this institution. Recently, our Manager of Marketing and Communications, Darrell Nevers (‘08), found a newspaper clipping from 1949 when the sod was turned on the Salisbury Road to begin construction of the United Baptist Bible Training School (UBBTS). He posted it on social media as a reminder that we are marking a special anniversary in the history of our University. This sod turning was a big step at the time. No students, no buildings, no money to speak of, but a big vision carried out by those with a big commitment. UBBTS, ABC, ABU, and Crandall University have changed a lot. No longer a high school or junior college located on a small parcel of property on the outside of the city, Crandall University now boasts a much larger enrollment with students born in 25 countries of the world! More programs than ever are offered, bringing university education to the traditional undergraduate and the working professional. This past year we welcomed more international students than ever before and the upcoming year promises to be even more significant. The opportunities to study and work abroad for our students are expanding. Things are ever changing at Crandall University, much like our wider society. But things are much the same…like our committed employees. Our faculty are well-trained in their disciplines and add a personal touch to the classroom because of the sizes of the classes, and because of their

own approach with which they teach their disciplines. The staff continue to serve with excellence out of a sense of devotion to our common mission. At the recent convocation, the University’s Scripture (Col. 1:18b) was read along with the singing of the hymn “Crown Him with Many Crowns” which date back to the early days of the institution. Little did the founders know how much they were setting the tone for the future and how these two messages continue to frame what we are about. This has stayed the same. Another thing that has stayed the same is the degree of faith needed to move forward in Christian higher education. The early days were challenging to build the reputation of the school. Likewise, in a day of so many options, Crandall must continue to build its brand and market that to potential students. As a privately funded institution, Crandall has always relied on partners to come alongside to share the vision and financial load. Which brings me to my final observation, the sacrificial contributions of our donor base stays the same. Yes, some of our long time donors pass on and we have appreciated how their giving has supported the founders’ vision, but new ones rise up and help meet the current needs. I am grateful for the many people who stand with us. That importance of partnership stays the same. “The more things change, the more they stay the same” certainly applies to us. Thank you for helping us navigate the changes, and thank you for your faithfulness to our students amid all of them.

THERE’S MAGIC IN THE AIR Matt Robertson (‘12)
Crandall University alumni have a tendency of finding themselves in a wide variety of life circumstances. Some go on to become doctors, lawyers, pastors, or teachers. Others enter the business world and use their education in the corporate world. Others still find themselves behind the bench helping the Moncton Magic win the NBL Canada Championship. Long before becoming assistant coach to the Magic, Matt Robertson played for the Crandall Chargers, graduating with his Bachelor of Education in 2012. Reflecting on his time at Crandall, Matt said, “It set me up with a good foundation for how I plan to live my life and how I plan to present myself in the community.” A star athlete, Matt was encouraged by Dr. Greg Maillet to try out for the brand new Moncton Miracles basketball team. Out of 175 players who tried out, Matt was offered a contract with the team and played for three seasons before retiring. During his third season with the Miracles, Matt returned to Crandall as an admissions counsellor, a job that he would hold for the next three years before being invited to serve as assistant coach of the Miracles under Paul Mokeski. “I had done some coaching to that point – never even close to that level,” said Matt. “But I jumped in, and it’s my favourite thing that I’m doing right now.” Matt then continued with his role under Joe Salerno with the Magic, and focuses on player development and game day responsibilities, a role that is all about establishing relationships and understanding what each player needs in the moment. “My teaching degree comes in really handy,” Matt said. Knowing “the right approach for the right student at the right time” is an invaluable skill to have when working with athletes as much as with students, and even during his day job: “I’m not a teacher right now, but I use those skills that I learned in my BEd every day.” Apart from serving part time on the coaching staff with the Magic, Matt currently works as a Territory 4 | Crandall University

Manager for Hologic, the world’s largest company solely dedicated to women’s health. It’s a schedule that not everyone would be able to keep, but since his job sees him travelling around the Maritimes, he’s found that, more often than not, his work and basketball schedules are able to coincide. It can be demanding, but Matt is happy to have the opportunity to pursue his passion in this way – an opportunity that not many others get, and he is appreciative of the chance to be a part of it, particularly to his wife Bethany (Lipscombe, ’10): “My wife has been willing to sacrifice some time to let me do this, which has been pretty incredible.” While he may not be 100% sure what the future holds, it’s clear Matt would be happy to be involved in Basketball at any level: “Basketball is the thing that will come with me for the rest of my life.” We wish you all the best in seasons to come, Matt!

EXCERPTS FROM THE CLASS SPEAKERS Karissa Riofrio, BEd, ‘19 Post-graduate studies are different because something special happens when you are surrounded by people who are working passionately toward a common goal. The bar gets set high, you get pulled in by the group’s energy and then they push you forward and encourage you as you go on your way. We spent long hours in tight quarters under high pressure and came out better and stronger. The truth is that it takes a special group of people to create that kind of outcome. I think it can be said for every graduate today that our time at Crandall has not always been easy, but it has always been worth it. Many of the things we learned and carry with us now are not necessarily content related, but are life habits that will continue evolving as we move on into new jobs and projects. We had to begin learning how to balance life and school, to give our attention to what was going on, and to be present in the moment. We learned to persevere – our Organizational Management students worked full-time jobs and then came here, after a full day, to work some more. Welcome by the way, this is what Crandall looks like during the day. There were days when it would have been much easier to stay home, but we learned to work hard for things that matter to us. We learned to work in groups as teams. We learned to communicate and balance everyone’s talents and personalities in order to produce work we could all be proud of. We learned to calm our nerves and limit the shaking during presentations. We spent hours on projects and assignments and learned, no matter how hard it was, to take criticism on our work because that is how we get better. We learned that there is strength in vulnerability and the truth is, life gets hard. You can be doing fine and then

suddenly fear, or its other name anxiety, gets hold of you and starts telling you lies. Fear takes away your passion and motivation and energy and leaves you hollow, wondering why you are doing this at all. Let me tell you that when fear grabs onto you like that, it takes quite a bit more than self-care baths with candles and “metime” to snap out of it. But there’s a verse in the Bible, it’s in 1 John 4 and it says: “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear…” and it continues on, but that part really got to me: “perfect love drives out fear.” And I got thinking, I know we are unconditionally and sacrificially loved by God, but how can I look at that kind of love in practical terms? How can it be something that’s going to drive out this consuming fear I’m feeling? You and I are loved with this kind of love and that gives us the power to kick anxiety and worry to the curb with it because “perfect love drives out fear.” I wish you all the very best in everything that you set out to do and I pray that love will win in every challenge you face.
EXCERPTS FROM THE CLASS SPEAKERS Allana Walker, BA, ‘19 How does one sum up their entire university experience in five minutes, let alone the experiences of their entire graduating class? In preparing for this afternoon, I tried to reflect on memories that would resonate with all of us, which was more challenging than I anticipated, despite the fact that we’re such a small school. Though I’ve gotten to know most of you fairly well over the last four years, I recognize that our experiences have been diverse, our memories differ, and our journeys have been unique. The road to graduation isn’t always a smooth or easy one. There have been plenty of sleepless nights and stressful days along the way. But regardless of how long it’s taken you to get here or how many mountains you’ve had to climb along the way, I hope you take tremendous joy in knowing that we made it. Today is a day to celebrate. As we celebrate, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the countless families, friends, and faculty members who have helped us to reach this milestone. We would not be here today without your encouragement and support. My fellow graduates, regardless of where your journey leads you next, I hope you will always seek first the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness, relying not on your own strength, but on the Lord’s. When I gave my valedictorian speech in high school, I was pretty darn proud. I was proud of myself in the sense that I was over-convinced of my own merit, and I overestimated my self-sufficiency. I was trying to live by my own strength—and it nearly destroyed me. Work, productivity, accomplishments: they were my idols, and serving them nearly killed me. When I finally decided to surrender my hopes and dreams to God, He led me here to Crandall and

introduced me to a community where your professors not only know you by name but care about your life story, where your classmates become dear and trusted friends, and where school feels more like a second home. Thank you, my fellow graduates, professors, and all of you who keep Crandall thriving, for the grace, kindness, and support you have shown me over the years. You have challenged me. You have humbled me. You have shaped me, and for that I am eternally grateful. In light of God’s mercy and grace, my brothers and sisters, let us “cast aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:1-2). Let us not be conformed to the ways of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may present ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God our King Then we will be able to test and approve what his will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will. Thank you.

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD Rev. Dr. Darrell and Mrs. Laura Lee Bustin
Darrell Bustin, the third child of Don and Peggy Bustin, was born and raised in Moncton, New Brunswick. He grew up attending Moncton area schools, graduating from Moncton High School in 1985. He and his family attended Highfield Baptist Church. He earned his Bachelor of Arts (Biblical Literature) from Atlantic Baptist College in 1989. While a student, Darrell was heavily involved in various areas of student life, including serving a term as President of the Student Association and singing on several student ministry teams. While at ABC, he met his wife Laura Lee (Crummey) who was originally from Pugwash, Nova Scotia, the first child of Don and Penny Crummey. She entered Atlantic Baptist College in 1983 following her grade 11 year. Like Darrell, she earned a Bachelor of Arts (Music) from Atlantic Baptist College, graduating in 1987. She was active in her student days as a Resident Assistant and in student ministry teams. They were married in 1988. Upon completion of undergraduate studies, Darrell and Laura Lee moved to Massachusetts where Darrell earned his Master of Divinity from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. While studying at GCTS, they ministered at East Baptist in Lynn, Massachusetts. After graduation, they moved to New Zealand for one year where Darrell completed a Certificate in Theological Studies from Auckland Consortium of Theological Education. In 1994 they came back to the Maritimes where Darrell served at Hillside Baptist Church as Associate Pastor for eight years. After attending CBM’s Conference on Overseas Ministries in January 2002, Darrell and Laura Lee felt that God was saying “now is the time” to move toward

fulfilling the call to overseas ministry that both have felt since childhood. The Bustins joined the Global Field Staff of CBM in 2002 to teach at the Kalimantan Theological Seminary in Pontianak, Indonesia, where they helped to train and mentor future leaders for the local church. They moved to Rwanda in August 2012 to work with CBM’s church partner, the Association of Baptist Churches of Rwanda. Darrell’s primary focus is in pastoral training and church leadership development. He works both with pastors, as well as those studying to be pastors and church leaders. Laura Lee is responsible for overseeing the administrative details for the short-term mission teams that come to Rwanda. Since serving in Rwanda, Darrell has earned his Doctor of Ministry from Gordon Conwell in the area of preaching. The Bustins have two children, Bronwyn, a double graduate of Crandall University, and Caleb who is a current student at Crandall University. Given to honour alumni for outstanding accomplishments, devoted service, and loyalty to Crandall University, the Distinguished Alumni Award was presented on May 3rd, 2019 to Rev. Dr. Darrell and Mrs. Laura Lee Bustin.
FACULTY NEWS
Our faculty at Crandall are not just excellent educators and wise mentors, they are also authors and researchers. Here are just a few examples of what our faculty has been up to over the last year:
Dr. Keith Bodner published a book on The Theology of the Book of Kings, part of a Cambridge University Press series on Old Testament Theology. Dr. Wendy Bokhorst-Heng presentated at the 2nd Annual New Brunswick Education Research Symposium in Fredericton at the University of New Brunswick. The title of her presentation is “Learning French is like trying to skate: Metaphor and French immersion students’ imagined identities as language learners.” Dr. Dennis Bustin published a book titled Zealous for the Lord: The Life and Thought of the Seventeenth-Century Baptist Hanserd Knollys, contributed a chapter to The British Particular Baptists: 1638-1910, and is working on another book called Champions of Choice and Change, coming soon. Dr. Alan Chan has co-authored and is looking forward to the release of an article titled “The Culture of Giving: At the Crossroads of Religious and NonReligious Donations.” In addition to publishing articles, Dr. Keith Grant has been working on a digital history project called “The
Colonial Bookshelf: Tracking the Reading of Colonial Nova Scotians,” thanks to research grants from Brock University and the Nova Scotia Museum.

Savanah Morin B.A.Org.M.’19 Public Service and Procurement Canada
Right after high school I decided to take some time away from education and began working immediately. I always assumed that I would go back once I decided on a career. Life happened and I started my family. With small children at home, finding the right career to support our household and one that also promoted a work/life balance proved to be challenging. I eventually decided to obtain a diploma through Oulton College and after my program was completed, I was contacted with information about a degree completion program (Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Management) offered at Crandall University. I took this as a sign to finally get that university degree I wanted to get years ago. My time with Crandall proved to be one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. Not only was I offered a great program that fit into my hectic schedule, I also made some lifelong friendships that I will always cherish.
In 2015, when I graduated from university with my second Bachelor’s, one in Finance and the other in Accounting, I knew that my educational journey was not complete. This said, I knew I wanted to gain professional working exposure before exploring what avenues of continued studies that I would continue with. Deciding what route to take is quite challenging, in reality you are banking your professional future on this choice. I personally struggled with this dilemma, before choosing the Master of Organizational Management (M.Org.M.). When I first learned that Crandall University offered graduate level programs, I was delighted and my enthusiasm only grew from there. To be able to complete such a well-versed and affordable program, locally, and in a classroom setting, in a span of 19 months is truly a gift to any individual with a desire to continue learning. The staff in the M.Org.M. program was always present, helpful and ensured that as full-time working individuals, that we could balance school, life and work commitments. We are so lucky to have the opportunity to be able to attend this graduate program and I highly recommend anyone with a desire to continue learning to inform themselves of this offering. To this day, I am so happy I chose this route, the classmates that became friends, the course work that made me a better employee and the satisfaction of completing a graduate program were some of my greatest experiences. Thank you, Crandall!
The day of my graduation, as we made our way to the stage, I was overcome with this feeling of gratitude and pride. Gratitude for my support from my professors, fellow classmates and the staff here at Crandall, who never let me give up on myself. Pride in the accomplishment of believing in myself and obtaining this great milestone in my life. With this degree I now have a career that I love with a great employer who offers me an amazing work/ life balance for my family. For anyone who is waiting for the right time, it’s now.

Chargers Athletics Updates
2018-2019 Athletics Update The 2018-2019 season was exciting across all sports at Crandall this year. Our ACAA teams produced AllConference athletes, and our coaches worked hard to see great improvements in all of our athletic programs. Chargers Boxing became a varsity sport this year and competed in local boxing events, as well as in the National Collegiate Boxing Association (NCBA) in the United States. Members of the team competed at an event held at US Military Academy in West Point, New York, representing Crandall well in the competition. In Basketball, Crandall held the inaugural Seth Crowell Invitational tournament, inviting other ACAA teams to this preseason event. We are looking forward to continuing this new tradition next season. Crandall also hosted the 2019 ACAA Basketball Championships in March. Coming this fall, Crandall will also enter a Women’s Volleyball team in the ACAA under Head Coach Colin Cook. The first home game will be held on November 3, 2019.
working together under one banner towards a common goal. “My goal is to bring long-term stability to Chargers Athletics as we continue to strive for excellence in our program,” says Jim. “As a former high performance athlete, coach and administrator, I understand the challenges and expectations our athletes and coaches face. My job is to put the foundation in place so that they can reach, and exceed, their goals. I am excited about the possibilities that are in front of us and believe we have a great coaching staff in place to continue our growth and take us to the next level.” Originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, Jim graduated from Eastern Nazarene College in 1993, is married to Crandall (ABC) alum Loralee Landers (class of ’88), and they have three children: Annie, Eliza, and Ethan.

CRANDALL WELCOMES THE WORLD Dannie Brown, DBA, Dean of International Academic Programs Crandall’s international recruitment strategy began in a somewhat serendipitous fashion as the result of a phone call to President Bruce Fawcett from a Moncton area man who had connections with a university in India. This and other conversations led to a subsequent trip to India by Crandall University officials, which resulted in the signing of an articulation agreement. With that, Crandall University was on its way to welcoming the world to study at Crandall. Realizing this could be a fruitful strategy that could see many international students choose Canada, and more specifically, Crandall University, at which to study, University officials decided that they needed someone to lead this new venture, so in the summer of 2018 I returned to Crandall to become the first Dean of International Academic Programs following some years of teaching in other universities where I had the joy of teaching many international students. For many years now universities in Canada have been recruiting students from all around the world to study in Canada. According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, as of December 31, 2018, Canada had 435,415 international students registered at the post-secondary level. This surpasses the goal the government of Canada had set for itself. This increase in international students who pay a premium for their tuition (anywhere from $14,000 to $60,000 annually) in Canada has resulted in many benefits: 1. It has boosted the revenues of post-secondary institutions that continue to operate through declining government funding—to as much as 30 percent for some universities’ total revenues. 2. It has also allowed domestic students to continue to benefit from a high quality education that many feared was in a state of decline.

3. It has also helped to maintain faculty in departments that, prior to the international student influx, were in danger of cuts. 4. And finally, it fits into the plans of all levels of government that wish to increase the number of immigrants to our area; partly because one-fifth of the current workforce will retire within the next decade or so. Students who complete one year of study at a recognized Canadian post-secondary institution are eligible to apply for a one-year Post-Graduation Work Permit; while students who complete two years of study at a recognized Canadian post-secondary institution are eligible to apply for a three-year Post-Graduation Work Permit. Many students choose studying in Canada as a pathway to immigration. According to a 2018 CBIE survey, some 60 percent of international students plan to apply for their permanent residency status.
Some 60 percent of international students plan to apply for their permanent residency status. In the 2018-2019 academic year, Crandall University had students on campus who were born in 25 different countries around the globe. Approximately five percent of our student population is described as a “visa” student—a student requiring a “Study Visa” to attend Crandall University. We have visa students studying in a number of our programs currently; the majority of whom are registered in the Master of Organizational Management, a one-year program. We anticipate about 50 additional visa students in the Fall of 2019 and another 25 visa students in January 2020. We are in the process of hiring an additional full-time faculty member for the International Academic Programs for September, and another for January 2020.
Our current visa students have already enriched the educational experience at Crandall and are telling us that they are so happy to be at Crandall. Max from Mexico says, “People here are very friendly. That’s what I like about Crandall.” Gayatri from India says, “I love Moncton, the weather, and my professors; everyone here is like my second family.” Shahin from Iran says, “Everyone at Crandall cares about you. Living on campus is very comfortable. You can make a lot of friends here. You’ll not feel homesick here. There are a lot of opportunities here.” Family members have already arrived to be with the students and some have made plans to visit in the near future. These visa students are also doing their own personal recruiting back “home”, inviting friends and family to also study at Crandall. As Crandall University celebrates its 70th anniversary this Fall, we will continue to open our doors to people who want to improve their lives through education and relationship. We will continue to show hospitality as prescribed in the Bible, all in an effort to transform lives. Your support for these efforts has been critical for Crandall’s success in the past and will continue to be critical as we step out to welcome the world.
