ARTHUR WESLEY MAXWELL B.A., M.A.R., M.Div., D.Min.

In the spring of 1944, Arthur W. Maxwell entered the family of James and Dorothy (nee Hyslop) Maxwell, the eighth of nine children, seven of whom were girls. Arthur grew up in Moncton and in 1962 graduated from Moncton High School. Infl uenced by a neighbor who let Arthur watch him fi x televisions and radios in his workshop, he later enrolled in an Electronics diploma program at the New Brunswick Institute of Technology in Moncton. This led to eight years of work as an electronic technician, fi rst, and briefl y, for the Department of Transport and then second, for seven years, with the New Brunswick Power Corporation. Ironically, while on education leave from NB Power, Arthur sensed a call to ministry and shifted his academic focus from Electrical Engineering at UNB to a B.A. in Religion at Bethany Bible College. It was during this time as a student that, he “fell in love with the college” and believed he “would return some day to teach.” After graduating in 1976, he stepped directly into full-time church ministry within the Wesleyan denomination, but education continued to be a major part of his life. While serving as a pastor in the state of Ohio, he completed his M.A. in Religion from Asbury Theological Seminary, in Wilmore, Kentucky (1982). He then returned to Canada to minister in churches in New Brunswick, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, while also completing a Masters of Divinity degree in 1989 from Tyndale Seminary in Toronto.

During our how technology is not necessarily always our friend, and the benefi ts of a journey to become teachers, we have been surrounded by people who have great Project Based Learning. Ted showed us that a healthy debate could give loved us, mentored us, supported us, challenged us, cared for us, encouraged us a different perspective. Wendy showed us the benefi ts of a great portfolio. us and done all the little things that have helped us reach this graduation While, Joan was there to make sure we understood inclusion and to not leave day. anyone behind. Our professors were there for us when things went well, and Paulo Coelho wrote: ‘’what is a teacher? It isn’t someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of his best in order to discover what he already knows.’’ Chances are that you all had a teacher, coach or mentor who took the time to inspire you towards your dreams and goals. I had a few phenomenal teachers along the way who worked hand in hand with my parents to keep me on the right path. Luckily, one of those teachers, Roger Cormier, got me into coaching when I was in high school, because like any great teacher, he saw some potential in me when I didn’t necessarily see it myself. He pushed me not just to volunteer my time, but also to give my very best to the players. I remember him telling me, “Always be the best that you can be” And, that’s exactly what I have tried to do. While at Crandall, the story of Rick and Dick Hoyt kept me focused, and inspired to reach my goals, both at school and professionally. As a result of oxygen deprivation to his brain at the time of his birth Rick was born as a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy. This was before inclusion was in place in the United States. The doctors and educators told his dad, Dick, that Rick should be institutionalized. Dick told them one simple word: no. Though Rick Valedictorian Armand Doucet couldn’t walk or speak, his parents quickly realized that he was quite astute. His parents fought with education administrators to see past Rick’s physical when things went wrong. Not always giving us the answers, but often enough, limitations and to see the bright kid that they saw. They won this fi ght, and letting us fi nd our own way by making us question our methods and thoughts. Rick now holds a university degree. They pushed us hard and prepared us for the rigours of teaching. Let’s not kid One day, in 1977, Rick came home from school and told his parents that ourselves, the 2 months of vacation sound great, but we will earn every minute he wanted to participate in a 5 mile benefi t run for a lacrosse player who had of them teaching the Crandall way in our careers. On the other hand, as a been paralyzed. Dick agreed to run with him, and on the day of the run, he Professional Learning Community, we can lean on each other to succeed in pushed his wheelchair-bound son to next-to-last place. That night, Rick told his the future, just as we have done in the last part of our journey. Remember, beg, dad that when he was running, for the fi rst time, he didn’t feel handicapped: he borrow and steal is our mantra. felt alive. Since then, Rick and Dick have fi nished over 1000 races, including 70 During my time here at Crandall, I thought it would be a great idea to marathons, 140 triathlons and many Ironman races. train for an Ironman. For those of you who don’t know what an Ironman is, As students, many of us witnessed the beginning of inclusion in our it’s a race consisting of a 3.8 km swim, a 180 km bike ride and a 42 km run in school systems. This was probably not an easy time for the teachers, as the same day. Needless to say, it takes a lot of time to train for one. When I they were trying to fi gure out how to adjust to students with psychological, decided to start training, I can remember a few of you looking at me like I was behavioral and physical challenges. However they had a duty, like we do, off my rocker. However, I am happy I did it during this time because during the to reach every student in the classroom. Today, it can almost seem every hours of training and studying, I realized that what was most important in our student needs some sort of universal accommodation. Parents are pushing journey was to be satisfi ed with our effort. Setting goals and attaining them to get every little chance for their child. Universal accommodation is the key with determination and tenacity will be benefi cial in our teaching careers. I term in the education world at the moment and it’s getting a bad rap from want to share a part of the marathon portion of the race. At 27 km, I hit the many people in the system. They are frustrated with having to do so much wall. It was scorching hot outside and I had just been sick. I almost packed differentiated learning with what often appears like every student in class. Well, it in at this point, and I knew there would have been no shame in stopping. I I want to tell you a secret: universal accommodation was taught to us here at had just done 10 and half hours of physical activity. I defi nitely know my mom, Crandall! Except here, it’s called fl at out good old plain teaching. We should all a nurse, would have told me to stop at this point. However, as I was leaning go the extra mile for students like Rick. We should listen to parents like Dick over the road, I decided that this wasn’t acceptable.

Some say that life is a journey. Personally, I think that university is be an ambassador for your own personal brand and also an ambassador more s a war zone. That fi rst day of fi rst year you storm the beaches, to this school where we have been taught to work hard. the adrenaline pumping through your body. You have absolutely no idea The second area is in your relationships. Work hard in your what’s going on, and you’re in a daze as the people around you shoot relationships. I’m sure lots of you have seen this saying on Facebook information at you and you look around at the hoard of other stunner fi rst years and you wonder ‘who’s going to make it out alive?’. And then it’s four years of battle. You fi ght to make it through World History, you crawl through Literary Heritage, and you wade through the swamp of Intro to University. After that we’re divided into our separate squadrons, each being riddled with its own individual set of traps and challenges. There was one time when I thought that I wasn’t going to make it. It was second year and I was in Heather Steeves’ offi ce. I can’t fully remember what my original reason for the visit was. Likely it was accounting homework related. Either way I found myself in her offi ce talking. One topic led to another and soon we were talking about my goals and what I wanted to do with my life and, in typical Leanne fashion, I was crying. You see, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I told Heather how I didn’t know if I wanted to do both degrees or any degrees at all! I told her about how I was feeling and that maybe I should do music instead, something that I knew I loved. But, wise Heather calmed me down from my proverbial cliff. She explained to me Valedictorian Leanne Pike with her parents Greg and Joan Pike. what I have explained to many others since. She told me that what I was experiencing was normal, particularly for second year students. It was a but I want to highlight it because I feel like it’s got a lot of truth to it. crisis of purpose that happens because I’ve already spent a year studying It’s a picture of an elderly couple holding hands and the caption reads: but there are still three in my future. Once I calmed down I realized that “We lived in a generation where when something was broken, you fi xed Heather was totally right. I wasn’t thinking about jumping ship because I it. You didn’t throw it away.” Now, while I’m not married myself, I’ve didn’t like my program or my university, it was out of fear.

I wish you were either one or As we begin though to move from one battle to the next, I want the other. So, because you are lukewarm-I am about to spit you out of to offer some advice for both your future and mine. So, here it is: Work my mouth”. Being lukewarm takes no effort, it is a matter of just being hard. the temperature of this world, it’s room temperature. Being spiritually I know, it’s not profound and it’s certainly not clever but on fi re takes daily dedication, which can be painful and diffi cult. It means I’m choosing clarity and straightforwardness over humour and being defensive when it comes to the things in this world that invite us loquaciousness this afternoon. As we look into working hard I want to to conform, that invite us to be lukewarm. highlight specifi cally three areas where, I believe, working hard will be I truly want for each one of you to know the love of Christ, and if the most important: you don’t already I pray that God fi nds you.

classes to improve an area within her working environment that needed some tweaking. Though the breakfast program was in existence, it served only a small number of children each day. It was felt that additional food choices would help make the program more exciting. Through a student survey, as well as reviewing policy 711, the Healthier Foods and Nutrition Policy, Mrs. Cameron evaluated breakfast menu preferences which assisted her in setting the new breakfast plan in motion. She also contacted local businesses such as Sobeys on Vaughan Harvey Blvd, Fancy Pocket, Pizza Hut and Great Canadian Bagel and asked for their help, to which they graciously agreed. Mrs. Cameron is thrilled with the number of generous parents/ caregivers and staff who are donating food items and their time to the program, and attributes the huge success of the fi rst month to this overwhelming support. Lisa Cameron (‘12) The program promotes a variety of new healthy food choices that include bagels, oatmeal, fresh fruit, eggs, whole grain This year at Hillcrest school, they were pleased to announce breads and fruit smoothies, which are a favorite among the the grand reopening of the newly updated “Eagle’s Nest” children at the school.

Be it preparing a meal, serving it, tutoring, babysitting, cleaning up around the shelter, or simply visiting with some people who need a friend, Harvest House provides a powerful glimpse into what God is doing when we’re too distracted to notice. As much as I hope we were able to impact lives, I can say with certainty that on some nights, we were truly the ones being blessed. Each night, Chris comes prepared with a delicious menu and the team splits up to either start preparing the meal, tutoring students working toward their GED, or cleaning the shelter rooms and bathrooms. These were the times that got us out of our own heads. Speaking for myself, I was brought up in a home where God was made the center of everything, and where I was protected these amazing, intelligent, interesting, and hopeful people who from all those things that might harm me.

Future Foundations Capital Campaign Raises $16.98 Million for Campus Expansion

The Future Foundations Capital Campaign, launched in 2009, has raised over $16.98 million or 89% of its private and government sector goal in just 3 years! Operating at full capacity, the Board of Governors realized the need for expansion and voted in early 2009 to proceed with a major Capital initiative. The expansion project included the building of the new 80,861 square foot Stultz Hall education centre housing new lecture theatres, classrooms, offi ces, labs, book store, student lounge and café. The critical need for space has now been addressed and will allow Crandall to more than double its student enrolment. The new Centre is named in honour Future Foundations Capital Campaign CabinetCampaign Director of Crandall University chancellor, Mr. H. Jack Stultz and Mrs. Grace Stultz. Front Left to Right: Greg Cook (Chair, Board of Governors), Peter Flemming Expansion plans also included the renovating and updating of the (Treasurer) , Gilda Ryder (Campaign Director), Dr. Brian MacArthur (Past current Murray Hall facility including expanding space in the George A.

Diversifi ed housing options have also been made available to nearly 100 students with the construction of a 23 unit apartment complex that is positioned adjacent to the Colburne House residence on Crandall’s campus. Crandall is grateful for not only the leadership of Dr. Brian MacArthur, past President and Mr. Ed Barrett, Campaign Cabinet Chair who have led Crandall in its campaign but also to the hundreds of volunteers and the Capital Campaign committee for their numerous meetings and solicitation efforts. The tremendous response to this campaign, thus far, has been due to instrumental leadership, individuals, families, companies, alumni and churches who believe in the vision of Crandall’s future and who have invested in the possibilities of this signifi cant Christian based university. We are extremely grateful for people of faith that have helped to make this expansion happen. With approximately $2 million yet to be raised, we would invite you, a subscriber of the Growing Edge Magazine, to consider a gift and/or pledge to the Future Foundations Campaign. Help us fi nish this expansion initiative in a strong position. Your gift will ensure that generations of youth and students gain a second-to-none education fi rmly rooted in the Christian faith. Further donations and/or pledges will still be gratefully received and acknowledged by the Advancement Offi ce by phoning 506-863- 6444. Donations can also be restricted for specifi c purposes such as scholarship and bursary funds. Perpetual recognition will be given to all donating churches, friends, alumni and companies (who give over $1000) on the Future Foundations Capital Campaign Donor Wall being unveiled in the Fall of 2012. Besides recognition on the Donor Wall, gifts over $10,000 will be recognized with an additional plaque for a naming opportunity for a classroom, theatre, major meeting area or other special location within our new buildings.

Greetings to all Alumni and friends of Crandall,

It has been a great privilege and honour to have served as the Crandall Student Association president during the academic school year September 2011- May 2012. I am proud to have had the chance to lead our student body and to represent Crandall University during my tenure as president. This has been a year of change for the Student Association as we changed our direction from being event orientated to being service oriented. With that, during my time as President, our student association focused on developing services that would be benefi cial for all students and that grow the community that is Crandall as a whole.

I believe that during this time of change and growth, a solid foundation was formed that will ultimately enhance the overall Crandall experience in the years to come. While this is true, it cannot have been without all of those who have contributed fi nancial support to the many projects and expansions of our Crandall campus; specifi cally the new Stultz Hall and the student apartment complex. I know that I have personally enjoyed the Student Senate offi ce space and new Student Centre located in the lower level of Stultz Hall!

For this, and on behalf of the students of Crandall University, I would like to offer my sincere thanks and appreciation to all of you that have supported the University. Thank you for investing your time, prayers, and fi nances into the lives of many; a truly priceless investment!

With sincere gratitude,

, Mitchell B.Sc.Smith 2011 Crandall Student Association President 2011-12

It was February 10, 2012 and ‘award fever’ was in the air.
