Mon., March 25, 2013

EL CAJON, Calif. - The San Diego Christian College Athletic Department has announced the addition of softball starting in 2013-2014. Softball will be the ninth athletic program offered by SDCC, and the first addition to the department since baseball was added in 2007.

“We are excited for the opportunity to bring in more female athletes to train in godliness,” said SDCC Athletic Director Chris Bando. “We have some outstanding coaching candidates committed to spiritually mentoring young women and assembling a competitive softball team.”

The Lady Hawks will compete in the Golden State Athletic Conference and will be the sixth athletic program to feature softball, joining Arizona Christian University, Biola University, Concordia University-Irvine, Hope International University, and Vanguard University.

“This is a great opportunity to add yet another competitive program to the already strong Golden State Athletic Conference,” added Bando. “The talent level for softball in Southern California is unmatched and recruiting top talent to compete in an elite conference is a top priority.” 

“We are looking forward to contributing to Christ-like competition in women’s athletics in the GSAC.”

The SDCC Athletic Department is currently in the process of an extensive search for a head coach. Applications are currently being accepted. In addition, SDCC is collecting information from any potential recruits who may be interested. 

SDCC currently competes in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country, and volleyball.

SDCC's annual writing contest is here again! All aspiring writers are encouraged to submit entries in any of the 3 categories: poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. Entries will be judged and each category will have 1st ($50), 2nd ($30), and 3rd ($20) place winners. For more information please email writingcontest@sdcc.edu. All entries are due March 18th. 

The topic for our next Honors Forum is: “CHARACTER, DISAPPOINTMENT, AND HOPE: CRITICAL THINKING IN THE LIFE OF A MILITARY AVIATOR.” Lt. General Shackelford comes to us with an impressive background as a military professional.  In each role that he held, from fighter pilot, to test pilot, to weapons research, development and procurement, he distinguished himself remarkably.  Come to hear his thoughts as he draws on his experience to speak to us about being Christians in the professional world.

Place: ADMIN BUILDING ROOM A

He is also an American lexicographer and dictionary editor specializing in slang and new words. He compiled and edited the Official Dictionary of Unofficial English (2006, McGraw-Hill) and the Oxford Dictionary of American Political Slang (2004, Oxford University Press), and maintains the prize-winning online Double-Tongued Dictionary which tracks slang, jargon, and neologisms from the fringes of English.

He serves as vice president of the American Dialect Society, an academic organization devoted since 1889 to the study of English in North America.

Formerly, Grant was the engagement editor for voiceofsandiego.org, an innovative nonprofit online-only newspaper. He was responsible for increasing online and offline awareness of its content and bringing community commentary, opinion and insight into its pages.

Grant holds a degree in French from Columbia University and has studied at the Université Paris Diderot. Though born and raised in Missouri, Grant has lived at length in New York City, Paris, and the U.S. Virgin Islands and now lives in sunny California with his wife — a linguist/lexicographer — and their young son.

Dear SDCC Grads - With about 30% fewer teachers being trained across California since 2005, and 50% of the current teaching workforce over age 50, now is a great time to get your credential! According to a 2005 Center for Teaching and Learning report, “California will likely face a shortage of 100,000 teachers within 10 years….1/3 of California’s teachers are projected to retire in coming years.” This was written 6 years ago, so we could be closer than we think to realizing these statistics. It’s not too late - join our next group starting June 13, or July 18! Finish by June 30, 2012! Contact Christy Jordan, SDCC Credential Analyst at (619)201-8751 or stop by Admin Office 311 for more information!

The New Beginning

Five years ago, Christian Heritage College experienced a new beginning. For some, the most visible impact of this new beginning—the change of the school’s name to San Diego Christian College—signaled a possible departure from the institution’s rich history of providing a quality Biblical liberal arts education. In truth, the new beginning initiated a plan to make the college self-sustaining for the first time in its then 25-year history and to ensure that its tradition of impacting the world for Christ would continue long into the future.

Through the process, SDCC has formalized its relationships with and reduced its dependence upon its sister organizations, improved its accreditation standing with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), expanded academic programs, increased scholarship endowments, and implemented many organizational and facility improvements to better serve its students and the Christian community. SDCC’s Board has also been bolstered by the presence of Shirley Peters and Beverly LaHaye (wives of founders Art Peters and Tim LaHaye) as well as others who have helped energize and support the direction of the college.

The May Ministry Match

Excited by recent college successes including the addition of a Christian Ministries Major under the Adult Professional Studies Program, approval by WASC to launch an online degree program and rising enrollments in SDCC’s traditional programs, a long-time friend of SDCC has pledged a $100,000 matching gift in an effort to encourage others to start or resume supporting the ministry of the college.

Recognizing the need for ongoing financial support for every program offered by SDCC, every new gift or pledge made by May 31, 2010 will be matched dollar-for-dollar regardless of designation.* The only requirement to qualify for matching funds is that cash gifts must be received by May 31, 2010 and pledges must be made by that date with the intention of being paid in monthly installments within one year.

Every Gift Counts

There are no gifts too small. Two people making $25 monthly gifts could provide a $1,200 scholarship to a deserving student. One person making a $40 monthly gift could help us buy $1,000 of office and/or classroom equipment. A corporate gift of $5,000 could help us make $10,000 in summer improvements to our residence halls and classrooms facilities.

* To qualify for matching funds, gifts must be designated for currently budgeted projects or programs and may not be designated to benefit any specific student, staff or faculty member. If you would like to fund a specific program but are unsure as to how to proceed, please contact Vic Conner, Director of Advancement at (619) 590-1750.
