Allied Health Students Serve at Food Bank November 20
Students pursuing a degree in allied health can often be found in medical practices, training centers and on the sidelines at football games. But one Saturday a month, students from Cedarville University's Allied Health Student Organization (AHSO) will be serving their community on the frontlines of the battle against food scarcity. Starting on Saturday, Nov. 20, students from AHSO served food from 10-11 a.m. at the Cedarville Community Food Pantry. The pantry, hosted by Cedarville United Presbyterian Church, provides food for local residents on the third Saturday of every month. AHSO first connected with the food pantry last year, thanks to a connection between AHSO's then-treasurer, Emma Mlagan, and representatives from the food pantry. Students were able to serve once at the end of the spring semester, greeting those who arrived and helping with distributing food.

M.Div. Student Leads Community Soccer Clinics
Watching T.J Milby's fast-paced college life from the sidelines, it may have seemed like he only had one goal in mind. Yet, years of combined soccer and theological training have equipped him with a game plan that is already making a positive mark in the lives of refugee children in Dayton, Ohio. Milby will graduate from Cedarville University with his Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree in December 2021, but he is already serving others through Dayton Soccer, a ministry of Athletes in Action. Dayton Soccer has already offered two soccer clinics with refugee children in mind, with two more scheduled for October 9 and 30. They are free and open to the public.

Residence Directors' Kids Back Where They Started
Four freshmen in the class of 2025 are no strangers to university living. In fact, their parents served as residence directors (RD) nearly two decades ago, meaning that the first time these students were on campus they were in strollers and swaddles. Now, they're back, and ready to make their 1,000 days of college life their own. Alexa Harris, a communication major from State College, Pennsylvania; Kylie Atwell, a nursing major from Denver, Colorado; Jillian Basner, an undeclared major from Nelson, New Hampshire; and Jackson Isaacs, a business finance major from Colorado Springs, Colorado spent their early formative years in residence hall apartments.
