  • BC's Faith-Based Postsecondary Institutions
    Made In B.C. – Volume II A History of Postsecondary Education in British Columbia B.C.’s Faith-Based Postsecondary Institutions Bob Cowin Douglas College April 2009 The little paper that keeps growing I had a great deal of fun in 2007 using some of my professional development time to assemble a short history of public postsecondary education in British Columbia. My colleagues’ interest in the topic was greater than I had anticipated, encouraging me to write a more comprehensive report than I had planned. Interest was such that I found myself leading a small session in the autumn of 2008 for the BC Council of Post Secondary Library Directors, a group that I enjoyed meeting. A few days after the session, the director from Trinity Western University, Ted Goshulak, sent me a couple of books about TWU. I was pleased to receive them because I already suspected that another faith-based institution, Regent College in Vancouver, was perhaps BC’s most remarkable postsecondary success. Would Trinity Western’s story be equally fascinating? The short answer was yes. Now I was hooked. I wanted to know the stories of the other faith-based institutions, how they developed and where they fit in the province’s current postsecondary landscape. In the ensuing months, I poked around as time permitted on websites, searched library databases and catalogues, spoke with people, and circulated drafts for review. A surprisingly rich set of historical information was available. I have drawn heavily on this documentation, summarizing it to focus on organizations rather than on people in leadership roles.

  • 2021 Catalog 2 3
    2020- 2021 1 Hillsdale College 2020 - 2021 Catalog 2 3 Welcome to Hillsdale College independent, four-year college in south-central Michigan, Hillsdale College offers the An rigorous and lively academic experience one expects of a tier-one liberal arts college, and it stands out for its commitment to the enduring principles of the Western tradition. Its core curriculum embodies this commitment through required courses in disciplines such as history, literature, science and politics in order to develop in students the “philosophical habit of mind” essential to sound education. Likewise, majors at Hillsdale are a rigorous and searching extension of these commitments. Ranging from classics or music to chemistry or business, academic fields of concentration build upon the core curriculum, deepening and specifying students’ appreciation for and understanding of the liberal arts. Hillsdale College is dedicated to intellectual inquiry and to learning, and it recognizes essential human dignity. Ordered liberty, personal responsibility, limited government, free enterprise and man’s moral, intellectual and spiritual nature illuminate this dignity and identify the service of the College to its students, the nation, and the Western intellectual and religious tradition. Far-ranging by design and incisive by method, study at Hillsdale College is intellectually demanding. Students work closely with faculty who guide them in their studies, helping students to prepare for a lifetime of accomplishment, leadership, and learning. For more information about Hillsdale College or to arrange a visit, call the Admissions Office at (517) 607-2327, or e-mail [email protected]. • College, founded in 1844, is an independent, coeducational, resi- Hillsdale dential, nonsectarian college for about 1,460 students.

  • Fall Issue 08
    FRIENDSHIP ISSUE 10 November 2020 // Fall Issue 8 “Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art...It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.” C.S. Lewis In Memoriam of the Community House Brother Moving Out By Derek Hiemstra “What’s up, short stuff?” I’d ask as he walked in the door. “What’s up, tall stuff?” he’d reply. It was stupid. Sometimes we’d change it up: “What’s up, big guy?” I’d say. “What’s up, small guy?” he’d reply. I’m still looking for the death and resurrection, or the incarnation, or the trinity, agape,orthekingdom of God in my front hallway. I know that’s unrelated but I’ve got my eyes open. Adrian is a brick-layer, and he looks like it. Sturdy, stolid. Dark brown hair in a mohawk, dark full beard. Often, he’d wear a light blue shirt with a white, handwritten script on it. The shirt read, “Y’all need Jesus” on the front, and he claims that some friends of his bought it for him as a joke. Maybe we don’t need one, but I like to think everyone should enjoy an Adrian now and then. Just for the solidity of it. Adrian and I went for a run one afternoon in Pacifc Spirit Park. And that’s just one fun thing he does. He also covered my rent once (I paid him back in full, thank you) and he thought out loud in front of me that if I sold my body on Craigslist it could help me make rent next time.

    FIRST YEARS ISSUE 19 January 2021 // Winter Issue 2 Happy Surprises and Reflections on Psalm 8 By Beth Cormack LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! (Psalm 8:1) I had intended to spend Christmas and New Year with a cousin in Alberta but changed plans in accordance with the health advisories. As I strolled along the Vancouver seafront on a damp New Years’ Eve, I pondered on how different the celebrations for the end of 2020 were in comparison to the year before. On December 31st 2019, friends and I had stood on a balcony in London, champagne in hand, enjoying the fireworks above the River Thames. We toasted in the year, joined hands and sang Auld Lang Syne, before retreating back into the warmth of the apartment. From the laughter of ‘old’ friends to the many ‘happy surprises’ of wonderful people on the West Coast of Canada, I am so thankful for 2020. So thankful to be here, at Regent College, to contemplate God’s majesty as I study his Word alongside others, and see it reflected in the beauty and grandeur of the Vancouver Mountains and ocean. When I consider the heavens…what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? (Psalm 8:3-4) It seems miraculous to be here at all. Having been granted leave from my post as kindergarten teacher in London, I wondered whether I would have to complete my Regent studies back in the UK. But I longed for a change of scene! In the meantime, a family friend contacted me to offer the use of their basement suite, where I could quarantine and then stay on.
