Legacies are not just for the famous and powerful. The most important legacies come from people who invest in others where they live every day.

Dr. Bill Brown, president of Cedarville University, talks about legacy in today's Parent Prep post.

For parents of our new students, let me say how excited we are to welcome your sons and daughters to Cedarville in August. If you have any questions between now and August, please contact us. We are here to serve you!

Why invest in a Christian university education? How will a college education change your student?

Today's post by Dr. Tom Cornman, Cedarville University's academic vice president, is a must-read that addresses those questions and highlights the five life-changing outcomes faculty pursue in their classrooms.

At Cedarville University, we are privileged to care for the growth of some of the best university-aged students on our planet -- including your son or daughter. We take this charge very seriously. Discipling and mentoring students is an exciting priority!

One of the elements in the spiritual growth dynamic here at Cedarville is seeing to it, as best we are able, that each student connects with a local church. Chapel is exciting and distinctive to a Cedarville education, but it does not take the place of the local church. We are blessed to have many great churches in the greater Miami Valley region. The top-10 area churches (based on number of Cedarville students in attendance) are included in today's post.

Also, the reservation deposit deadline of May 1 is quickly approaching. Be sure to send your student's $250 deposit to secure a space in the fall class. Contact Admissions at 1-800-CEDARVILLE (233-2784) if you have any questions.
