"Signs of Momentum"
As Philip Eaton begins his fourth year as SPU president, the
Comprehensive Plan for the 21st Century
is being officially launched. He outlines several of the initiatives
that are currently in full swing.
Scientific Literacy and SPU
Pied Pipers in Lab Coats
Counseling War's Survivors
Things Fall Apart
A Passion for Christ
One study has found that only 6 percent of Americans can be considered
"scientifically literate."
Professor Bruce Congdon makes the case for a renewed focus on teaching
the sciences.
From a life-sized velociraptor to sharks in the school swimming
pool, alumni teachers Brad Proffitt and Laurie Greco employ ingenious
methods of attracting youth to sciences.
It was a first for SPU's SPRINT program. A team of doctoral psychology
students took their skills
to Bosnia, where victims of the war are struggling to heal.
For Professor Don Holsinger and Associate Professor Robert Baah, the
Nigerian novel Things Fall Apart
is a coming together of the richness of African literature and a call to
wisdom for all cultures.
Tim Dearborn, SPU's new dean of chapel, believes that if Christians
are
faithful to the gospel, "our focus, passion and delight is always
and only Jesus Christ."
