James D. Parker
No full textJames D. Parker was born in Portsmouth, Ohio. In 1950, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, where he served for four years. After his time in the military, he felt called to attend a Bible college to prepare for ministry. Initially, he had his sights set on Moody Bible Institute, but decided he wanted to attend school closer to home. So, he departed Portsmouth for Cedarville College. “My focus was on getting an education grounded in biblical truth and pursuing my call to become a preacher.” During his time as a student at Cedarville, he served as vice president of the freshman class and sophomore class chaplain. Parker received his degree in history from Cedarville in 1964. After spending decades in the ministry, Parker most recently has spent his time as an instructor at the Central Baptist Institute in Syracuse, N.Y., an outreach of Central Baptist Church where his son-in-law serves as pastor. Parker Hall was named for him in 2020. Upon receiving this honor, Parker said, “I hope the students who live in the residence hall develop a love for one another. They’ll learn to listen to each other and consider the other person’s viewpoint. They will learn to experience the Christian life for themselves.”https://digitalcommons.cedarville.edu/you_live_where/1029/thumbnail.jp
Richard “Dick” Walker [1946-2024]
No full textDick Walker, known by many on campus as “Chief,” first visited Cedarville as a high school student and then returned after graduating from Bowling Green State University and serving in the military for two years. His first job on campus in 1970 was overseeing the intramural recreation program; in 1971 Dick was selected to serve as head resident at the Cedar Park apartments. He took over the position of Activities Director in 1972 and, along with serving as Dean of Men for ten years, he devoted his life to providing a vast array of activities for the University family. Under Dick’s direction, the Campus Activities Office brought to the university everything from highly sophisticated artist series to a ten-ton spirit rock. As the Dean of Community and Family Programs, Dick was instrumental in getting students involved in activities to benefit the local community. Later, he served as Coordinator for Alumni Engagement and made connections with alumni around the world. Dick was awarded the Alumni Distinguished Service Award in 1998 and was named an Honorary Alumnus of the Year in 2008. Former President Paul Dixon said, “I think Dick Walker has probably had some of the most significant contributions of anyone who’s been at Cedarville.” Walker Hall was named for Dick in 2018.
