2007 – 2008 Messiah College President's Report - (Page 29)

Recollections from the yearʼs campus conversations “Working with the Messiah Business Alumni association has shown me and others that it is possible to lead with Christ-like principles and contribute to and create organizations that thrive in the business world.” — Ryan Glenn ’03 in the summer 2008 issue of The Bridge “Students are eager for cross-cultural experiences that are tied to their majors and connected to their faith. Math majors, especially, often don’t know how they can do both what scripture tells us to do and mathematics in a way that comes together. This is one example of that.” — Angela Hare, chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences, in the spring 2008 issue of The Bridge, on a math literacy project completed by Messiah students which served a primary school in rural Burkina Faso, West Africa “America’s colleges and universities are more open to spiritual and religious concerns today than they have been for decades. At this critical moment, our goal is to provide new resources for thinking clearly and comprehensively about the many different ways in which religion can be a positive factor in the learning process and in the personal development of students.” — Douglas Jacobsen and Rhonda Hustedt Jacobsen, in the winter 2008 issue of The Bridge “Americans rely on our higher education system to prepare students for citizenship and the work force. We look to institutions like Messiah College to provide leadership in partnering with local schools to shape the civic, democratic, and economic future of our country.” — Margaret Spellings, U.S. Secretary of Education, in her congratulations to those named to the President’s 2007 Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, quoted in the spring 2008 issue of The Bridge “You do the best you can on a yearly basis to stay principled, to keep working in the right ways with the right attitude, and then you take what comes, win or lose.” — Dave Brandt, men’s soccer coach, in the winter 2008 issue of The Bridge “At Messiah, I got a sense that the integration of faith and learning was something that didn’t necessarily involve the rhetoric of Christianity, but rather the enacting of it.” —Tiffany Eberly Kriner ’98, in the fall 2007 issue of The Bridge “Our nation has always injected faith into the political conversation — so why can’t we talk about it now, and what better place to do that than at a school that’s been infusing their education with faith for generations?” — D.
