In an effort to update their facilities, Juniperview University will install forty new chalkboards in classrooms all over campus.
In an effort to update their facilities, Juniperview University will install forty new chalkboards in classrooms all over campus.
This decision comes mere months after a Board meeting in which the Trustees announced their plans to modernize campus facilities. The modernization effort was well-received by professors and staff. Some classrooms and lecture halls had the same chalkboards for several years, and some rooms had no chalkboard at all.
"Christian colleges should be on the cutting edge, not behind the times," said Vice Regent of Campus Development Gene Knickerson, "This timely renovation project demonstrates our commitment to state-of-the-art education."
Under the guidance of the Trustees, Mr. Knickerson has taken the lead on numerous updates all over campus. Last fall, a pipe organ was installed in the chapel, along with newly-covered hymnals. The path along the edge of Juniper Lake was also adorned with digital, fully-programmable "No Mixed Swimming" signs.
These renovations follow last year's construction of the new Bible Study Facility. Located in the center of campus, the BSF highlights the University's commitment to inerrant Truth.
"The Bible Study Facility shines like a beacon from the heart of campus," President Barsuvius commented. "The new facilities represent innovation and forward motion. When I see students chatting in the narthex or chilling in the Crypt of the Saints, I feel good about the future of our country."
The Board of Trustees expressed their excitement about the installation of the new chalkboards, saying that such changes reflect the slogan of the University:
So Relevant, So Convicting, So Juniperview!
This slogan will be engraved on the lower left-hand corner of each of the new chalkboards, along with the names of alumni donors who made the project possible.
Please note, a public forum has been scheduled to discuss the exciting changes happening on campus. No topic is off limits! The forum has been scheduled for next Thursday at 1:37 a.m.
