  • STUDENTSFPU President’S Message
    FRESNO PACIFIC UNIVERSITY | VOL. 24, NO. 2 1 Enrollment tops 3,600 Ewert sets 2012 retirement Merced Center opens Sunbirds begin NCAA process INTERNATIONAL ENRICHSTUDENTSFPU president’s message The world in a drawer he world I studied in school is very different from the one our students study today. Look at the drawer in which I keep my expired passports. I have lived in, worked in or visited countries that subsequently gained their independence, split, united, moved their boundaries, changed their names and implemented new political philosophies through civil wars, coup d’états or plebiscites. Priscilla and I have been privileged to live in Belgium, Congo (known for a time as Zaire), Kenya, Ethiopia and the Philippines. I’ve worked with D. MERRILL EWERT, PH.D. graduate students on research projects in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. These experiences shaped my understanding of nations, peoples and cultures. That’s why I believe strongly in the importance of Tinternational exchanges, travel and study abroad. My deepest insights, however, came not through my formal studies but through my relationships. After college I lived in Congo. There I taught with a young man who became my assistant when I returned several years later to lead a community development project. As we worked and traveled together, we not only became close friends, but he helped me see and understand the culture within which he was born, raised and lived. That taught me more about his world than anything I read in books or learned by living in his country. Students from 36 countries study at Fresno Pacific.
