Class of 2006 Class of 2005 Class of 2004 Class of 2003 Navid Abghari I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia to two Persian parents. As a first-generation Persian- American, I was forced to juggle conflicting cultures, to balance a conservative Persian upbringing while living in a freethinking American society. Dealing with culture lines have helped me develop as a person, and have laid the foundation for who I am today. As I have grown older, I have jumped at the opportunities to branch out and meet new people. In high school, I volunteered at a local Alzheimer’s assisted living center where I become close with many people with whom I would not ordinarily come in contact. Also, became involved with a nature/recycling center. To this day, I make sure to go back and get some time in with all the people I met at these places. College has afforded even more opportunity for me to grow and develop as a person. I have, with the help of a fellow student, begun to organize and establish a new student organization: the Persian Student Association. Also, I have gotten involved with the Banking and Finance Society, Watchdawgs, and the Economics Society. Looking back, I am more and more grateful for my experiences with two extremely different cultures. I value aspects of both cultures that many people take for granted, because I have perspective from both sides. Although my experience with biculturalism may have been trying, I would never wish for them to be different, as they have collectively helped me become the person I am today. Major: Finance and Economics University-Related Activities: Banking and Finance Society, Watchdawgs, Economics Society, Persian Student Association Community: Arden Courts Alzheimer’s Assisted Living Center, Sandy Springs Recycling/Nature Center Work Experience: Phoenix Construction, IMG Contracting, Southeast Video Wholesalers Eniola Alabi I was born in Boston, Massachusetts. My family is from Ibadan, Nigeria, and we moved back shortly after I was born. I spent five years of my life in Nigeria, and we moved back to the United States at the age of 5. I have lived in and around Georgia since. I attended Berkmar High School in Lilburn Georgia. I was actively involved in my high school doing a number of things. One of the most rewarding for me was a tutoring program that involved elementary children from local elementary schools. Four years later, I decided to attend college at the University of Georgia. I quickly became very involved at the University. I have been involved with several student organizations on campus. My most active role on campus was that of a CLASS Advocate in Reed Hall. This was a challenging and rewarding position for me. Another opportunity that I was priveledged to have included attending LeaderShape Institute. This was something that I wish every student at the University could do. My work experience includes several internships. I worked for Office Depot for two years. One year in their Business Services Division, the other year in the retail store. I then worked with IBM for a summer and I will be returning to work for them this summer. I am currently in Verona, Italy finishing a study abroad program. Studying abroad is one of the most memorable experiences imaginable. I have had the opportunity to see and experience so much. I am looking forward to getting back on campus and encouraging students to study abroad. Major: Marketing/Finance University Related Activities: CLASS Advocate, LeaderShape Institute, Executive Council for Academic Affairs, Residence Hall Council, Work Experience: Office Depot, Business Services Division, Retail Store IBM, Accounts Receivable Customer Service Representative Community Activities: Volunteer at Church, Volunteer Ministry Work, Athens Tutorial Program, Laura Allen I, along with an older brother, grew up in Signal Mountain, TN. While attending The Baylor School, I spent much of my time playing tennis. Playing sports taught me determination, perseverance, patience, and teamwork. At UGA I am involved in Alpha Lambda Delta, an academic honor society, Zeta Tau Alpha, a social sorority, and Communiversity. Within Zeta Tau Alpha, I acted as Alumnae Relations Chairperson and I currently serve as Pan-Hellenic Delegate. My friends and family are of utmost importance to me, and because of their strength and support I am able to attain my goals. Major: Finance University Related Activities: Zeta Tau Alpha: Alumnae Relations Chairperson, Pan- Hellenic Delegate; Alpha Lambda Delta Community Related Activities: Communiversity, Race for the Cure, Signal Crest United Methodist Church Work Experience: Commercial Management Corporation, Ann Taylor Joseph Antonio I grew up in Birmingham, AL with my older sister Jennifer, my younger brother Jonathan, and my parents. While I always played outside with my friends in the neighborhood, I also played soccer, basketball, and baseball for the local recreation league, and I attended a Catholic grammar school from kindergarten until the 8th grade. After graduating with a class of 22, I headed off to John Carroll Catholic High School where I had about 250 people in my class. Those years were filled with playing Varsity basketball and helping my team win a state championship in soccer. While these experiences were great, I learned even more from coaching my younger brother’s 7th grade and 8th grade basketball teams. Along with this memorable experience, one of the greatest events of my life occurred when I was a counselor for a weeklong Muscular Dystrophy Association Camp the summer after my sophomore year. During that week, I was basically the “arms and legs” of a child named John who was suffering from a muscular dystrophy disease called Duchenne. After 4 years of being his counselor and developing a friendship, he has taught me how to be a true servant, and through this experience, I have come to a relationship with God and learned how to truly embrace life. While I left my home state to come to UGA, I carried these amazing experiences with me. God has blessed me with some amazing relationships in the past two years and has provided me with various opportunities to learn and grow. After immersing myself in college life and trying out various organizations and activities, I have since learned to focus in on my passions and do the things that are most important to me.

After living in the Norcross area for five years my family and I moved to Lawrenceville, Georgia, where I attended the remainder of grade school and graduated from Brookwood High School. Aspiring to be an Air Force officer and pilot, I quickly became involved in Air Force ROTC here at the University of Georgia. I have held many leadership positions in the ROTC to include, drill team commander, Arnold Air Society Director of Operations, vice flight commander, and the sophomore class sponsor. To compliment my desire to be an Air Force pilot, I spend a lot of time flying airplanes with my private pilot license. As a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, I enjoy the numerous activities Greek life has to offer. When not in school I umpire little league and high school baseball for Georgia Officials Association. In my spare time I like to fly, work out, play with my dog Jet, fish, spend time with my girlfriend, and relax.

Outside of the classroom, Katie is very involved on the leadership team for The Wesley Foundation, a Methodist campus ministry and spends her weekends either rock climbing in the Southeastern U.S. or planning her next excursion outside of the U.S. In the future she has plans to attend culinary school and open her own business in the travel industry.

    The Faculty Perspectives of Academic Freedom at Christian Colleges and Universities

    The Faculty Perceptions of Academic Freedom at Christian Colleges and Universities Jerald H. Walz Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Higher Education Steven M. Janosik, Committee Co-Chair Elizabeth G. Creamer, Committee Co-Chair Verna J. Lowe Claire K. Robbins May 22, 2017 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: academic freedom, statements of faith, faculty, Christian college or university, definition, critical incident, navigation Copyright 2017 The Faculty Perceptions of Academic Freedom at Christian Colleges and Universities Jerald H. Walz Abstract Academic freedom is a much-discussed topic in the literature. However, little empirical research has been performed that describes the faculty perceptions of academic freedom at Christian colleges and universities, a unique segment of institutions within US higher education. Specifically, little recent research has shown how faculty members at Christian colleges and universities define academic freedom, how they describe experiences where they encountered issues of academic freedom, and how they navigate the interaction between academic freedom and institutional religious doctrines (as found in official statements of faith). The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze how faculty members at Christian colleges and university perceive academic freedom. For this qualitative study, I employed the Critical Incident Technique (Flanagan, 1954) to collect data from full-time faculty members of Christian institutions. I present the findings discovered through this study, discuss their ramifications, offer recommendations, and draw conclusions. The Faculty Perceptions of Academic Freedom at Christian Colleges and Universities Jerald H. Walz General Audience Abstract Academic freedom is an important concept for scholars working in higher education.
