The creation story from Genesis often stimulates in me an appreciation for how God's intervention created form, light, vegetation, man and woman, and much more. Out of chaos came order. I am reminded almost daily at Dana College how events, programs, and even human development come to be shaped. It doesn't necessarily happen in predictable order or fashion, but usually an organized effort makes things happen to the benefit of those served.
Homecoming is a good example.
We recently had a marvelous Homecoming. Our alumni director, Julie Rohlfing, took the lead in planning and promoting the event, but without the participation and cooperation of the coaches, musicians, students, alumni council, food service, maintenance and custodial staff, and so many more, Homecoming would not have been a success. I have found that cooperative ventures are particularly successful at Dana College. If we do it better than other institutions, it is not because we have greater resources. On the contrary, our resources are so limited that we are compelled to cooperate.
