Covenant College in all things christ preeminent 2021-2022 undergraduate catalog 2021-2022 Undergraduate Catalog Covenant College 14049 Scenic Highway Admissions Office: Lookout Mountain, Georgia 30750-4164 Phone: 706.419.1148 706.820.1560 Fax: 706.820.0893 Website: www.covenant.edu Email: [email protected] Revised July 2021 Our Mission We challenge one another to explore and express Christ's preeminence in all things. The Covenant College Motto and Logo Covenant's motto, "In all things Christ preeminent," is based on the apostle Paul's letter to the Colossian church, in which he reminds young believers of Jesus Christ's central and exalted role in relationship to the created order: "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent." (Colossians 1:15-18) Jesus Christ's status as the firstborn of all creation is the foundation of Covenant's educational mission, as the College seeks as a community of learning to know and celebrate his preeminence in all dimensions of existence. There is a long tradition in Western academia of higher educational institutions being represented graphically by a shield bearing heraldic insignia associated with the institution. Covenant's icon is also a shield, indicating the College's close affinity with the best aspects of the Western higher academic tradition. However, while other colleges employ a simple shield shape, Covenant's logo is distinctive, unique to the College. In the left half of the shield lies an iconographic thistle. Used as a logo from the earliest days of the College, the thistle has a much longer history as the national symbol of Scotland. In the College's context, the thistle points to the distinctly Scottish heritage of Presbyterianism. But for the Scots themselves it is a reminder of the legendary day in 1263 when the invading Vikings of King Haakon IV stepped on the prickly spurs and cried out in pain, thus alerting the sleeping Scots to their presence. The Norsemen would never rule over or attack the Scots again. Offset in the right-hand side of the shield is a swatch of Covenant tartan. Many academic shields contain some sort of symmetrical chevron, cross, or division. Covenant, in keeping with that tradition, employs a chevron in its shield. But, as was the case with the shield's shape, this element strays from the bounds of Western tradition to emphasize again Covenant's distinct character. The swatch of plaid used for the chevron is derived from the Clergy tartan worn in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by Scottish pastors and employed by the College in various uses since its founding. 1 Table of Contents Covenant Fellows Program ........................................................ 19 2021-2022 Undergraduate Catalog Financial Aid ................................................... 20 Financial Aid Purpose Statement ............................................... 20 Our Mission .................................................................................. 1 Veterans' Benefits....................................................................... 20 The Covenant College Motto and Logo ....................................... 1 Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy ...................................... 20 Important Dates ............................................................................ 4 Academic Calendar ...................................................................... 4 Student Development ...................................... 22 The Purpose Statement of Covenant College ............................... 6 Covenant College and Diversity ................................................. 22 General Information ..................................................................... 7 Center for Student Success and Disability Services ................... 22 Accreditation and State Authorization ......................................... 8 Career Development Services/Academic Internships ................. 23 Policy on Nondiscrimination ........................................................ 8 Involuntary Withdrawal ............................................................. 23 Disclaimer .................................................................................... 8 Registration and Academic Policies .............. 24 Costs and Payment Options .......................................................... 8 Orientation ................................................................................. 24 Room and Board .......................................................................... 9 Registration Regulations ............................................................ 24 Fees and Expenses ............................................ 9 Course Load ............................................................................... 24 2021-2022 Traditional Undergraduate Tuition and Fee Rates ...... 9 Dropping or Changing Courses .................................................. 24 Residential Fees -

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 474 132 SO 033 912 AUTHOR Parker, Franklin; Parker, Betty TITLE James Albert Michener (1907-97): Educator, Textbook Editor, Journalist, Novelist, and Educational Philanthropist--An Imaginary Conversation. PUB DATE 2002-00-00 NOTE 18p.; Paper presented at Uplands Retirement Community (Pleasant Hill, TN, June 17, 2002). PUB TYPE Opinion Papers (120) EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Authors; *Biographies; *Educational Background; Popular Culture; Primary Sources; Social Studies IDENTIFIERS *Conversation; Educators; Historical Research; *Michener (James A); Pennsylvania (Doylestown); Philanthropists ABSTRACT This paper presents an imaginary conversation between an interviewer and the novelist, James Michener (1907-1997). Starting with Michener's early life experiences in Doylestown (Pennsylvania), the conversation includes his family's poverty, his wanderings across the United States, and his reading at the local public library. The dialogue includes his education at Swarthmore College (Pennsylvania), St. Andrews University (Scotland), Colorado State University (Fort Collins, Colorado) where he became a social studies teacher, and Harvard (Cambridge, Massachusetts) where he pursued, but did not complete, a Ph.D. in education. Michener's experiences as a textbook editor at Macmillan Publishers and in the U.S. Navy during World War II are part of the discourse. The exchange elaborates on how Michener began to write fiction, focuses on his great success as a writer, and notes that he and his wife donated over $100 million to educational institutions over the years. Lists five selected works about James Michener and provides a year-by-year Internet search on the author.(BT) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • JAMES A. MICHENER Has Published More Than 30 Books
    Bowdoin College Commencement 1992 One of America’s leading writers of historical fiction, JAMES A. MICHENER has published more than 30 books. His writing career began with the publication in 1947 of a book of interrelated stories titled Tales of the South Pacific, based upon his experiences in the U.S. Navy where he served on 49 different Pacific islands. The work won the 1947 Pulitzer Prize, and inspired one of the most popular Broadway musicals of all time, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific, which won its own Pulitzer Prize. Michener’s first book set the course for his career, which would feature works about many cultures with emphasis on the relationships between different peoples and the need to overcome ignorance and prejudice. Random House has published Michener’s works on Japan (Sayonara), Hawaii (Hawaii), Spain (Iberia), Southeast Asia (The Voice of Asia), South Africa (The Covenant) and Poland (Poland), among others. Michener has also written a number of works about the United States, including Centennial, which became a television series, Chesapeake, and Texas. Since 1987, the prolific Michener has written five books, including Alaska and his most recent work, The Novel. His books have been issued in virtually every language in the world. Michener has also been involved in public service, beginning with an unsuccessful 1962 bid for Congress. From 1979 to 1983, he was a member of the Advisory Council to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, an experience which he used to write his 1982 novel Space. Between 1978 and 1987, he served on the committee that advises that U.S.

  • 'Bitter Hedge': Narrative, Nationalism, and the Construction of Afrikaner Identity In
    SPECIAL ISSUE ––– 2011 PERSPECTIVES ON POWER CONFERENCE VOLUME VI ISSUE 11 2013 ISSN: 1833-878X Pages 29-38 Sheilagh Ilona O’Brien The Construction of a ‘Bitter Hedge’: Narrative, Nationalism, and the Construction of Afrikaner Identity in the Voortrekker Monument ABSTRACT During the early settlement of South Africa, the governor, Jan Van Riebeeck, grew a hedge of Bitter Almond to divide the fledgling colony from the local population. The journey of the Voortrekkers who escaped British rule into the interior would become an important focal point of Afrikaner nationalism, and the single most important event in Afrikaner history and mythology. The construction of the Voortrekker Monument, and the narrative it presents, are important for understanding how the Afrikaners constructed and used their past. Afrikaners clung to their imagined past in a present where everything seemed doubtful, and in so doing they attempted once again to cut themselves off from the world around them. Through Afrikaner nationalism Jan Van Riebeeck’s ‘Bitter Almond hedge’ returned to South Africa in the twentieth-century. BIOGRAPHY Sheilagh Ilona O’Brien has a Bachelor of Arts (Hons), with a double-major in History and First Class Honours, and a Masters of International Studies both from The University of Queensland. She is currently a PhD Candidate in the School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics at The University of Queensland. Her major fields of interest are oppression and its causes, genocide and communal violence, and history as myth: how we tell narratives about the past. 29 THE CONSTRUCTION OF A ‘B ITTER HEDGE ’: NARRATIVE , NATIONALISM , AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF AFRIKANER IDENTITY IN THE VOORTREKKER MONUMENT This In 1938, centennial celebrations took place upon the site of a nineteenth-century battle at Bloedrivier , in commemoration of the conflict between the Dutch Voortrekkers – who in 1838 were moving north to escape British rule – and the Zulu impis .

HUDSON Under the DireCtion of Dr. Mohammed Hassen Ali and Dr. Jared Poley ABSTRACT Apart from a sense of racial superiority, which was certainly not unique to white Cape colonists, what is clear is that at the turn of the nineteenth century, Afrikaners were a disparate group. Economically, geographically, educationally, and religiously they were by no means united. Hierarchies existed throughout all cross sections of society. There was little political consciousness and no sense of a nation. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century they had developed a distinct sense of nationalism, indeed of a volk [people; ethnicity] ordained by God. The objective of this thesis is to identify and analyze three key historical events, the emotional sentiments evoked by these nationalistic milestones, and the evolution of a unified Afrikaner identity that would ultimately be used to justify the abhorrent system of apartheid.

Three centuries later, King Josiah of Judah asked the Levites to return that container to the Temple, implying that it was no longer there. The gold-plated Ark enclosed more than an unvarying law in the Decalogue and the „obedience‟ of classical-computing attached to the crystal Thummim sewed by Moses into the Ephod worn by Aaron, the first high priest. Moses also placed in his brother‟s vest the crystal Urim, or flexible variations „between obedience and disobedience‟, in the quantum-computing epitomized by the „tree-of-the-knowledge-of-good-and-evil‟ (Genesis 2). Together, the Thummim and Urim crystals embody the Wisdom ascribed to nature‟s Nature and the „Tree-of-Life‟. Solomon shared this Wisdom with the visiting Queen of Sheba.
