Research, Presentations, and Publications

Poster Session, September 24, 2018 - "A Historical Look at Community Journalism and its Potential Influence"
This study briefly examined the cultural influence of The Dundalk Eagle within the context of literature concerning community newspapers in the United States. This study was originated with the existence of the original printed two-page article from March 18, 1976, of The Dundalk Eagle titled “Our Churches.” This study will propose that based on albeit limited literature review that community newspapers influence the communities they serve. Further, community newspapers reinforce the cultural norms of the individuals and society as a whole. Interspersed will be a discussion of potential future research that could be undertaken to further the knowledge of the inter-relationships between community newspapers and the readers they serve.

Personal Quote / Scripture / Philosophy of Education

"Christian higher education must be the main conduit by which we can truly nurture and cultivate the 'Royal Priesthood' of all believers."
 
I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last, you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
 
- Philippians 4:10-13
 
Teaching Philosophy

From that initial experience in my undergraduate days where I witnessed and experienced the life-changing effects of Christian higher education, I decided to be actively engaged in trying to do my part to help educate God's children. In many ways, I view being an instructor in Christian higher education as a guide who is employed to lead people on a challenging trail, mountain climb or down the rapids of the Colorado River. The guide is there to provide direction, encouragement, and knowledge so the traveler can navigate and safely explore unfamiliar and uncertain areas so that by the end of the journey they have grown through the experience. It is my responsibility to assist students in developing further their own ability to think for themselves and grow to be more productive professionally and spiritually. As an instructor, I will encourage, influence and motivate students to continue the lifelong learning experience beyond the classroom. If I am going to be successful as an instructor, the learning process cannot end when the student leaves the class. Learning is a lifelong process.
