Someth- ing more concrete brings them to the place of higher learning for Christian young people.

Former student, Dwight Colbaugh, returned as an instructor in biblical studies. Since graduation in 1967, he served the New Jersey District as Youth Director. He also received his Master of Divinity degree in 1972. Colbaugh stated he was delighted to be asked to teach. His heart is with young people. I like to see the personal commitment of the students and watch them grow. I was a student once too, and I know how they feel. Faculty members had cho- sen to come to Evangel first as students and then returned as faculty, though other job op- portunities were available. Steve Flora, a 1978 graduate, for example, could have had a job with IBM, but said he would rather teach. He filled Dr. Turner Collins' posi- tion in the biology department 154 Teaching Students while Collins was on sabbatical. I believe in this school, what it stands for, and what it does,'I commented Flora. Some of the reasons that students gave for coming to Evangel in the first place were the same for these returnees. Johnson said, I appreciate the opportunity to teach on a Christian campus, enjoying the fellowship with the faculty and the students. Tom Duncan, a 1975 graduate and new assistant professor of social sciences, also stated that instructors sense a unity and togetherness. The same principles of fellowship, integration of faith and education, searching for truth, and cooperation, that drew students to Evangel, also drew faculty members, creat- ing a unique unity among the faculty themselves, as well as with the students.
