Dr. Janice Gable Women-in-Ministry Scholarship |  Three scholarships have been donated to Valley Forge Christian College by the National AG Women of Ministry Taskforce in order to send young women to the Conversations 2010 Conference in Dallas, Texas. This scholarship has been provided to not only honor the memory and work of professor Dr. Janice Gable and the time she invested in furthering the cause for women in ministry, but it also allows the continuation of the work she accomplished. This scholarship facilitates and encourages female students to become all they can for the honor of God through training and fellowship offered at this conference.
If you would like to make a contribution to this scholarship fund and allow more female students to attend this conference, make a check out to VFCC (write: Gable/Women in Ministry Scholarship on the memo line) and mail it to the Development Office, Valley Forge Christian College, 1401 Charlestown Road, Phoenixville, PA 19460.

CO-OP: Comprehensive On-Campus Occupational Program |  A struggling economy translates into challenging times for students desiring to follow God's call on their lives. Valley Forge Christian College has answered the need by creating the new CO-OP (Comprehensive On-Campus Occupational Program). With funding up to half a million dollars, the program will provide on-campus jobs for qualifying current and incoming students. Employment available on campus will encompass all departments and include a wide variety of jobs. Teaching Assistants, office and clerical jobs, facilities and housekeeping, photography and graphic design are just some of the positions available within the VFCC community, and since they'll be working on campus, there are no worries about the high cost of transportation. Qualifying students require a job to meet their financial plan and do not have a car. Federal work-study jobs require only financial aid eligibility.
The CO-OP is just one of the many programs offered to VFCC students that make a high quality Christian education affordable. Additionally, students can qualify for numerous scholarships and financial aid packages. If you would like to help our students afford the cost of education, donations can be made to the President's Scholarship Fund, Valley Forge Christian College, 1401 Charlestown Road, Phoenixville, PA 19460. |

Leadership Tools |  by Dr. Don Meyer
Zinsser, William. On Writing Well. HarperCollins: New York, 2006.
Communication. It is the most important element of the day. From that, relationships are begun and maintained, information is given, ideas are birthed, people changed. Communicating well is another story altogether. I love books on writing. I can't get enough. And William Zinsser is one of my favorite authors. "On Writing Well" is one of the books which have impacted me the most. Zinsser writes with such clarity and personality that my attention and heart are both stirred. Page after page is full of wisdom and practical help. His expertise is evident, yet captured with his careful instructions and examples. This book will drastically improve writing in particular, but Zinsser's wisdom will find itself applicable to all forms of communication. |
