Worldwide Worldview<\/b><\/p>\n
Today, as we draw from the Cedarville Stories podcast archives, we are reintroduced to the son of missionary parents and a former U.S. diplomat, who transformed Cedarville\u2019s international studies program with a worldwide worldview.<\/span><\/p>\n Dr. Frank Jenista, former professor of international studies, had attended 13 schools in 12 years before finishing his education at a large American high school in New Jersey. When he arrived at Cedarville, he found a loving, supportive community of faculty and friends who inspired him to discover God\u2019s plans for his life, which would include service as a U.S. diplomat.<\/span><\/p>\n Once back at Cedarville, he applied his global perspective to the university\u2019s international studies program, which he helped develop into a highly successful major with students serving all over the world, including in the U.S. Foreign Service.<\/span><\/p>\n Dr. Jenista also grew Cedarville\u2019s Model United Nations team into a consistent Outstanding Delegation winner at the national competition in New York City. Lastly, he encouraged Cedarville schools and departments to think globally through study abroad and internship opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
