  • Faculty Scholarship at Whitworth University – May 2014-May 2015 –
    Faculty Scholarship at Whitworth University – May 2014-May 2015 – Faculty Scholarship at Whitworth The Whitworth faculty includes 156 Christian teacher-scholars who engage in research, writing Who We Are and creative performance to advance their understanding of the world, to enrich their teaching, to share their discoveries, and to bring new information and insights into their classrooms. Organizations beyond our campus recognize the high quality of our faculty scholarship; many support Whitworth research programs. Whitworth faculty members have received grants from a broad range of organizations, including Fulbright Scholarship in Residence, The Lilly Foundations, the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Welch Family Foundation. Whitworth faculty members are engaged in a wide array of research, creative production What We Do and performance, and scholarly projects. The work of our natural scientists ranges from research into celiac disease to the brooding habitat of the greater sage-grouse to potential medications for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s to space-flight propulsion. Scholars in the humanities publish poetry, examine the work of Franciscans in China, explore the writing of Great Awakening figure George Whitefield, examine intellectual virtues, and discuss religious activism as part of the Civil Rights Movement in the Northwest. Social scientists measure the success of HIV/AIDS non-government organizations among Nairobi’s youth, analyze media coverage of law and faith, explore the emerging church, and describe effective means to teach literacy. And faculty in the arts perform, contribute to exhibits, write about microcontrollers and music, create arrangements for jazz ensembles, and contribute to the field of theatre technology.

Getting there requires strategic planning. Such planning is particularly important in situations where there are many unknowns. Fortunately, we rely on the Lord Jesus Christ who not only knows the future, but is the future. OUR MISSION “To educate Christians who will make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ.” This is accomplished by fostering a transformative learning culture where a sustainable biblical worldview takes shape; building a Christian community that promotes worship, creative expression and activities that reflect God’s character; and cultivating a life of stewardship and service toward God, humanity and creation. OUR SENSE OF PLACE “Ideally, every college or university should have its own physical image, an amalgam of buildings and landscapes that define and celebrate a sense of place; communicate the institution’s purpose, presence, and domain; and generate an image charged with symbolism, graced by history.” (“Campus Design” by Richard P. Dober) The Lord has blessed us with a campus that has truly become a beautiful educational setting with several new buildings, clock tower, amphitheater, large green spaces, new athletic fields and renovation of several existing buildings. The prospects of a new library building and the addition of 42.5 acres to our campus give us the opportunity to continue to expand the University.

  • Mission Accomplished George Fox’S Degree-Completion Program Serves the Needs of Working Adults While Staying True to the University’S Purpose
    LIFE VOL. XXXI, NO. 3 JULY 2001 Mission Accomplished George Fox’s degree-completion program serves the needs of working adults while staying true to the University’s purpose eginning next spring, George Fox University’s degree-completion Bprogram will offer a new major to a new audience: those in the helping pro- fessions. The applied behavioral studies major comes at a time when the University is reassessing the market and asking how it can meet the needs of adult learners. It also comes at a time when questions are being raised as to whether such programs fit the mission of a Christian college. It was 15 years ago when George Fox first established a program to serve non- traditional students. After three years of declining enrollments, budget reduc- tions, and no increases in salaries, then President Edward Stevens made a bold move: Under his leadership, George Fox consulted with National College of Edu- cation, a leader in innovative adult learn- ing programs, and purchased the concept and curriculum for a major in human resources management. “He was looking for opportunities to infuse some growth as well as financial stability for the institution,” explains Andrea Cook, vice president for enroll- ment services. “It was a new opportunity to serve a broader population.” CHIJO TAKEDA The degree-completion program ful- Beth Smith, a customer service supervisor for Portland General Electric, is among nearly 2,000 students who have earned a college degree through the George Fox degree-completion program.
