Favorite aspect of teaching at Calvary:Â My favorite aspect of teaching at Calvary is the environment and sense of family that I have witnessed on campus. The Scriptures are extremely important to all of the students and faculty here, and it is seen in the day-to-day interactions with one another here on campus. This is what I like about teaching: when the students (and faculty) can take the information and see it applied throughout the campus. This is a very good thing!
