OUR PRESIDENT “He is not only a representa- tive of the college, but also he is an ambassador of Je- sus Christ As a college president. Dr. Dixon has many qualities of a good leader. Coming to Cedarville College six years ago. Paul Dixon brought a certain freshness to the workings of Cedarville. Being a personable mem- ber of the village has strengthened Dr. Dixon's outreach as the president. His honest love for people and his ability to respond easily with many kinds of peo- ple has broadened the circle of Ce- darville's influence. With his desire to make Cedarville known. Dr. Dixon stl maintains a balance in priorities as he travels. He is not only a representative of the college, but also he is an am- bassador of Jesus Christ. Having a background as an evangelist. Dr. Dix- on has not lost sight of the importance of evangefism. which some hold to as his strong point. In his personal dealings he shows a consistency in his testimo- ny. He does not just preach evangel- ism; he does it. Organization and discipline go hand- in-hand as he leads the college, and these qualities evidence themselves in 16 “He does not just preach evangelism; he does it. his own life. Melting into these qualities is his push for planning, not only short- ranged but also long-ranged. He sets goals for the coSege family and takes the initiative as the leader to reolize them. A man of ideas is how Mrs. Dixon describes him. And he gets those ideas out. Inherent also in his nature is a con- tagious enthusiasm which, many agree, affects everyone from the ad- ministration to the student to some de- gree. Dynamic as a leader is how Dr. Johnson describes him in one word. Be- cause of his balanced lifestyle. Dr. Si- vius describes Dr. Dixon as a man of God. Seniors Beth Wieder and Rob Freeman agree that he is commit- ted and dedicated and he sets goals and meets them. The number one quality that senior Gilis West sees is his foresight. Senior Marcia Golike named organization as his strength. Words such as consistent — even- tempered, and ... the most disci- plined person I know coming from Mrs. Dixon reveal the qualities so many people see Dr. Dixon applying in her personol life as well as in his role as a college president.

The Executives On© of the strengths of C©dorviB© College is the five vice presidents whom God has placed in key positions of leadership. Working with these men, learning from them, and having them as friends give me intense pleasure and joy. We do function as a team and all of us lean very heavily upon each other. The longevity of their leadership is significant. Any growing, quality orga- nization needs individuals who commit major portions of their lives to that or- ganization. Ken St. Clair has complet- ed 25 years as a vice president of busi- ness; Cliff Johnson has been academic vice president for 22 years, the vice president of student services. Don Richard, began that ministry 14 years ago. and Harold Green started his role as a vice president of campus minis- tries 15 years ago. Our newest mem- ber of the executive team is Chuck Ross who has completed his fourth year as a vice president of develop- ment. Each one of these men provided his own particular contribution to the col- lege. While building an exceptional academic program. Cliff Johnson has always been full of vision, optimisim. and excellent spirit. Mr. St. Clair's Each one of these men pro• vlded his own particular con- tribution to the college knowledge of financial matters and careful fiscal control has been key to the college's stability. Don Rickard is another individual with a great spirit. This is apparent in the attitudes of his staff and the success of his student ser- vices programs. Harold Green's ap- pointment to Ns position was a major factor in the numerical and spiritua growth of Cedar vale. His commitment to quality and hard work is apparent ir ail that he does. Chuck Ross has pro- vided expertise in development one his godly attitude has been appreciat- ed by all. This is a band of knowledgeable, faithful, committed, and spiritual men. count it a priviege to have them as friends and co-workers in this ministry ol ... the same commit thou to foithfu men. who shall be able to teach others also (II Timothy 2:2). by Paul Dixor President
