Arendale, David R2022-07-012022-07-012022-07-01https://hdl.handle.net/11299/228189College faculty members are often called upon to work in three environments at the same time: <teaching>, <research>, and <public service>. This is especially true for faculty who work at four-year research universities. These three environments often intersect with one another and are catalysts for actions. They help explain who I am as a professional educator. However, they leave out the personal dimension that fuels my interests expressed in those three areas. That is the reason I added the fourth statement. My faith in Jesus Christ is a powerful influence on my personal and professional life. In this faith statement, I share how my faith influenced my professional life in general and in particular the areas of teaching, research, and service. This statement has been long overdue for posting to my website.enBiographicalPreprint
