Four men have been chosen to fill the shoes of Chaplain Dale Cooper this spring.
Cooper is currently on sabbatical to England and Israel until the end of the semester.
Because of his absence, Shirley Hoogstra, Vice President of Student Life, selected men from various local areas and maturity levels to take over in the role that Cooper has left vacant. He is a great comfort to students with pressing confidential problems. Coop is a person who listens when there are spiritual questions and questions of the heart. But, he does deserve a sabbatical. In her search to find people to fill Cooper's role, Hoogstra looked for individuals who shared some of the same strengths that he has, like relating to students, listening to questions and concerns, and a passion for Christ.
