"That President Obama is willing to host an Easter breakfast, invite only Christian leaders, and include a personal address himself, and involve singers like Sarah Groves and a sermon by Joel Hunter, is a symbolic way for President Obama to express his faith," McKnight said afterward. "Events like this do not impose faith on Americans, or even privilege the Christian faith, but they do give the President an opportunity to express his faith and support the Christian message of the death and resurrection of Christ."
It was clear that Obama did not invite only "progressive Christians," to the breakfast, McKnight said. "I was impressed by the spectrum," he added. Others in attendance included Rev. Eugene Cho, lead pastor of Quest Church, Seattle, a congregation of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC), McKnight said. North Park University is affiliated with the Chicago-based ECC.
In his remarks, the president thanked the Christian leaders for "the compassion and the kindness" they express through their ministries. "I’ve seen firsthand some of the outstanding work that you are doing in your respective communities, and it’s an incredible expression of your faith. And I know that all of us who have an opportunity to work with you draw inspiration from the work that you do," Obama said.
Reflecting on the "wonder of Easter morning," the president said, "It’s an opportunity for us to reflect on the triumph of the resurrection, and to give thanks for the all-important gift of grace. And for me, and I’m sure for some of you, it’s also a chance to remember the tremendous sacrifice that led up to that day, and all that Christ endured—not just as a Son of God, but as a human being."
McKnight attended the breakfast with his wife, Kristen. "It was an honor to be invited, and we will treasure this the rest of our lives," he said.
North Park University Chemistry Program to Obtain Flash Chromatography System

New equipment to enhance program, aid in future certification
CHICAGO (December 18, 2012) — North Park University's Chemistry Department will soon obtain a significant instrument to be used by chemistry, biology, and pre-health students enrolled in mid- and upper-level chemistry courses. Acquisition of a flash chromatography system will give more than 80 students hands-on experience with rapid chemical separation techniques, enhancing laboratory education and research.
Being able to separate compounds mixed together is an important part of chemistry, said Dr. Jonathan Rienstra-Kiracofe, professor of chemistry and department chair. Currently, the process is slow and time-consuming without the flash chromatography system, limiting what can be done in a typical laboratory session.
"If we have an instrument that can speed up separations, we can process many more samples in a lab teaching time period," Rienstra-Kiracofe said. "The flash chromatography system has a pump that forces the liquid through specialized columns at high pressure, and in doing so, it produces a separation that happens quite quickly."
Funded mostly by a grant from the Max Goldenberg Foundation, Chicago, and other University funds, the portable, table-top system costs slightly more than $10,000. This is the foundation's fourth grant to the University chemistry program, helping to fund significant equipment purchases to enhance student education, and to help the department achieve its goal to become certified by the American Chemical Society.
The flash chromatography system will be used most frequently by organic chemistry classes taught by Dr. Isabel Larraza, associate professor of chemistry, though the system also has uses in analytical chemistry and biochemistry.
There are wide-ranging benefits for students who gain experience with the system, she said. Students who attend graduate school will use flash chromatography systems often. In industry, research and development work usually requires flash chromatography, Larraza said. For example, chemists working in the pharmaceutical industry use flash chromatography to purify compounds to be tested in drug manufacturing. The system also fits with the Chemistry Department's commitment to "green chemistry," she said. "We're economizing on all the materials, and will be able to use safer solvents such as water—thus we're protecting the environment," Larraza emphasized.
In addition to the flash chromatography system, Rienstra-Kiracofe said the department expects delivery this month of an instrument that uses x-rays to detect elements' concentration levels in samples. Known as a "TXRF," it is among the new instruments the department will use when it moves into the Nancy and G. Timothy Johnson Center for Science and Community Life, expected to be completed in 2014. Acquiring the TXRF now will enable student researchers to learn how to use it and to design experiments for future classes. Another new instrument the department will acquire when it moves into the Johnson Center is a full-size Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer. It already has a miniature NMR, thanks to a 2011 Goldenberg Foundation grant.
University Breakfast Series Focuses on Nonprofit Success in Challenging Economy
Jimmie Alford discussed topics affecting the nonprofit sector at the University's October 30 Breakfast Series event in Chicago.
Axelson Center provides strategic solutions to improve nonprofits
CHICAGO (November 5, 2012) – Nonprofit organizations must adapt their business models to the current economic climate, and act strategically in response to a variety of challenges, particularly declines in program funding from government sources and philanthropy. That was the message from Chicago nonprofit executive Jimmie Alford, who spoke to more than 100 people about nonprofit trends and challenges at a North Park University Breakfast Series event October 30.
Alford is founder and chair of The Alford Group Inc., a well-known national nonprofit consulting firm, and has been named by The Nonprofit Timesas an influential nonprofit leader. He is also executive-in-residence of the University's School of Business and Nonprofit Management and an advisor to the University's Axelson Center for Nonprofit Management. Through its workshops and conferences, the center teaches leaders about nonprofit trends and how to meet significant challenges, he said.
Just as in other sectors of the global economy, uncertainty is a key issue for nonprofits, Alford told the breakfast audience. Some factors affecting nonprofits include high unemployment, strains on family finances, and financial turmoil affecting 39 state governments. "Going forward, nonprofits have to look to the future with eyes wide open," he said. "It isn't so much that these and other factors are barriers or challenges. The question is, 'What is your strategic response?'"
For nonprofits to be vibrant, effective, and have high impact, Alford said they must plan for "uncontrollables." Those that can engage key stakeholders and adjust their enterprises for the future "will be the nonprofits that will be highly effective and highly valued," he said.
Alford also warned of a "huge liquidity crisis" in the next 2 to 3 years because of declines in charitable giving and declines in tax revenue to governments, both of which fund many nonprofit-based social service programs. "I think overall, the amount of money flowing to nonprofits from tax-based entities will dramatically reduce," he said. "There will be an evolution of nonprofits trying to be more self-sustaining."
Enhancing revenue generation for nonprofits has been a focus of recent Axelson Center workshops, said Dr. Wesley E. Lindahl, dean of the School of Business and Nonprofit Management. "With funding from state governments being delayed and philanthropy suffering a downturn, nonprofits have to be very creative in terms of revenue generation. We've offered several sessions on that," he said. Improving governance by nonprofit boards of directors is another focus, Lindahl said. The Axelson Symposium for Nonprofit Professionals and Volunteers, attended by more than 500 people, offers executives and managers a chance to learn from each other and from more than 30 speakers, Lindahl added. The next Axelson Symposium is June 3-4, 2013, in Chicago.
Alford said he has presented several Axelson Center workshops on self-generated income in recent years. "The whole idea of the Axelson Center workshops is that if you spend a day on the topic, you're going to be opening your mind to some other ways of doing business. These sessions can be provocative and cause you to think about doing things differently. That's the purpose," Alford said.

Jimmie Alford presented Lifetime Achievement Award
CHICAGO (October 2, 2012) — The Better Government Association (BGA) of Chicago presented its 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award to Jimmie Alford, executive-in-residence, North Park University School of Business and Nonprofit Management (SBNM). Alford is founder and chair of The Alford Group, a consulting firm that works exclusively with nonprofit organizations.
This year marks Alford's fiftieth year of working with nonprofits. The award was presented October 2 at the BGA annual luncheon in Chicago.
"This award is most thrilling because of the broad impact that the Better Government Association has in our community," he said. "Their recognition of my career which embodies North Park University’s mission of education for a life of significance and service is a wonderful tribute." Alford said he is pleased that two outstanding civic leaders, Renee Crown and Ron Gidwitz, will present the award to him.
"The faculty and staff of the School of Business and Nonprofit Management are very proud of Jimmie Alford and his accomplishments at the Chicago Better Government Association. The story of their growth over the past few years is amazing, and Jimmie played a big role in making this happen. Congratulations to Jimmie on the Lifetime Achievement Award," said Dr. Wesley E. Lindahl, SBNM dean.
Alford will be the keynote speaker at the University Breakfast Series event October 30 at the University Club of Chicago, Lindahl added. The topic, "Trends and Headwinds: Implications for the Nonprofit Sector" will focus on the business environment for nonprofit organizations, along with trends, constraints, opportunities, and the possible impact of the upcoming elections. The session will also include forecasts about the next three to five years for nonprofits.
Alford founded his own consulting firm to serve the nonprofit sector in 1979 after serving 16 years with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Chicago. The firm, now known as The Alford Group, quickly grew into one of the premier consulting firms in the United States and has served more than 3,000 nonprofit clients since its creation. In 2007, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University, as well as an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Aurora University, Aurora, Ill.
Alford has been recognized twice by The Nonprofit Times as "one of the 50 most influential people in the nonprofit sector." The Association of Fund Raising Professionals (AFP) in 2009 named Alford the recipient of the prestigious Chair’s Award for Outstanding Service, given to individuals for exceptional service to AFP, the fundraising profession, and the philanthropic community. Alford is active as a volunteer, as chair, CeaseFire Chicago (now Cure Violence), and as senior advisor to the BGA.
Blount said King was "a shining example of what can happen when one commits his or her life to something worth dying for." Blount, an assistant professor of formation, youth and culture at Garrett-Evangelical, and senior pastor of Trinity African Methodist Episcopal Church, Waukegan, Ill., told the packed chapel that King accomplished much to advance civil rights in 13 short years, and was a catalyst for changing the world. In the 44 years since his death, great strides have been made to advance King's vision and dreams, Blount said, including the election of Barack Obama as president.
However, Blount insisted that King's dream still remains "a dream deferred" for many people of color because of racism, high unemployment, the dismantling of affirmative action, growing numbers in prison, declining college enrollment and inadequate funding for schools. Blount warned against becoming complacent about civil rights.
"Could it be that many of us have stopped acting on the dream? Could it be that many of us have decided that we've achieved enough?" he said. Quoting King, Blount also spoke of a kind of social "schizophrenia," in which people talk about peace, but prepare for war; say they want children to have an adequate education, yet hold down funding for public schools; say children are the future, but deny and block opportunities for them; and say every life is precious, then question whether health care if a right or privilege.
King's dream will not be fulfilled "unless we find the strength to love," Blount said. He called on people to make sacrifices for the good of others. "That means that we ought to be willing to make enough of a sacrifice that no one goes hungry. That means we ought to be willing to make enough of a sacrifice to let those who are sick have access to adequate health care. That means we ought to make enough of a sacrifice that no child is truly left behind," he said.
"Let's claim the strength to love so that when we come back again next year, this time we can declare that we have moved Dr. King's dream further and further towards being fulfilled," Blount added.
Readings and prayer at the service were contributed by Rev. Deborah Penny, Dr. Mary Adams Trujillo and Rev. Michael Thomas, University and Seminary faculty, staff, and students. Mittie Cowan, a North Park University student, sang two hymns.
The high school students then met in small groups with North Park University student leaders who discussed what it mean to be courageous leaders in school, at home, and in the world. The adults met separately to talk about challenges in teaching and raising their children, and incorporating faith practices into the lives of young people. The groups also discussed multicultural, multiracial and multi-faith issues they face. They concluded the day with a tour of the North Park University campus.

North Park University Senior Nursing Major Named Lincoln Academy Student Laureate
Shadae Gatlin is a senior nursing major from Chicago, and is the University's Student Laureate. She was honored November 3 by the Lincoln Academy of Illinois.
Shadae Gatlin honored at ceremonies in Springfield
CHICAGO (November 5, 2012) – Shadae Gatlin, a North Park University senior nursing major from Chicago, was among 52 students from Illinois colleges and universities honored as Student Laureates November 3 by the Lincoln Academy of Illinois.
A ceremony was held in the Illinois House of Representatives' chamber at the Old State Capitol building in Springfield. Student Laureates, family members, and academic representatives also attended a luncheon at the Illinois Executive Mansion, home of Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn.
"I am very excited about this honor," Gatlin said in an interview. "This makes me realize and appreciate the relationships I have, and the influence of so many people in my life." Gatlin is the second of nine children, and lives with her family on Chicago's South Side. Gatlin graduated from Chicago's Jones College Prep in 2009. She said she felt called to attend North Park University after researching the University, and in particular, its nursing program. Gatlin found she was interested in attending a college with smaller classes and a Christian atmosphere.
"I love nursing," said Gatlin, a recipient of the Gretchen Carlson Scholarship in nursing. "I was first interested in biology, but I wanted to work in a more people-centered field in science. I chose health care because I grew up in a lot of underserved neighborhoods in Chicago. My main interest is in community and public health, and working in prevention through health education in community neighborhoods."
Gatlin is expected to graduate from the University in 2013. She plans to work for a couple of years in a medical-surgical hospital setting, and then hopes to return to college to earn a master's degree in community health nursing and work in a community clinic in Chicago.
As a student, Gatlin has volunteered at Ronald McDonald House, which serves families of children with serious medical conditions. There, she assists families with cleaning and preparing meals. This past summer, Gatlin volunteered with Little Brothers: Friends of the Elderly, a Chicago organization that cares for the needs of seniors in Chicago. She escorted a group of seniors to Illinois Beach Resort, Zion, on a vacation sponsored by the organization. Gatlin was also a nurse intern at Lawndale Christian Health Center, assisting with clinic visits, patient education, and calling patients to check health instructions. She helped develop education pamphlets for families.
At North Park, Gatlin has worked three years at the F.M. Johnson Archives and Special Collections, housed at Brandel Library, which has contributed to her University learning experience, she said. She has been a member of the University's Gospel Choir and the African American Student Association. Dr. Linda Duncan, professor and dean of the School of Nursing, and holder of the Gretchen Carlson Memorial Endowed Chair in Nursing, represented the University at the Lincoln Student Laureate event.
"Shadae is an extremely focused student, and knows what she wants to achieve," Duncan said. "She keeps her eyes on the task at hand. She has structured her time to support her learning and development." Gatlin's supportive family have contributed to her academic success, Duncan added..
Student Laureates are honored for their overall excellence in curricular and extracurricular activities. Each student is presented with a medallion, a certificate of achievement, and a $500 grant. This is the 38th year in which the Lincoln Academy has presented the Student Laureate awards. The academy also presents the state's highest award, the Order of Lincoln, to honor Illinois' most distinguished citizens.

He plans to attend medical school and specialize in orthopedics. Startup also wants to work with patients in underserved communities.
Haugen was also named the top senior in the University's School of Business and Nonprofit Management and was named Illinois Student Laureate of the Lincoln Academy of Illinois. She is a member of Milwaukie Covenant Church, a congregation of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC). The University is affiliated with the ECC.
Two University employees were recognized. The C.L.A.S.S. (Campus Life Associations and Student Senate) Service Award was presented to Leah Blanchfield, assistant to the dean of student development. The award is presented to a staff member who actively engages with students and embodies the University's mission. Mary Trujillo, professor of communication arts, was given the Zenos Hawkinson Award for Teaching and Campus Leadership. That award recognizes a faculty member who has made a significant contribution to teaching and leadership at the University.
North Park Theological Seminary to Install Seminary Dean at Annual Convocation
Rev. Dr. David W. Kersten, dean of North Park Theological Seminary
North Park University to provide live webcast of Convocation, Rev. Dave Kersten’s installation
CHICAGO (September 10, 2012) — North Park Theological Seminary holds its annual Convocation September 16, featuring a worship service of prayer and blessing, marking the beginning of the new academic year for students and faculty. This year’s Convocation will include the installation ceremony of the Seminary’s new dean, Rev. Dr. David W. Kersten.
North Park University will present a live webcast of the Convocation beginning at 4:00 pm, Central Daylight Time. Full details for the day’s events are available online.
Kersten, who began his new role as dean on August 1, came to the University after serving as both a parish pastor and a denominational administrator, most recently as the executive minister of the Department of Ordered Ministry for the Chicago-based Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC). He previously served ECC congregations in Alabama, Florida, Washington, and Minnesota.
North Park University is affiliated with the ECC. Theological education in the ECC tradition is provided by North Park Theological Seminary, a graduate school of the University.
University Dedicates Nursing Simulation Suite in High-Tech Lab Facility
Richard Becker, center, provided a gift to the University's Nursing Simulation Lab facility in memory of his wife, Janice, who was a nurse. With Becker are, left, School of Nursing Dean Linda Duncan and, right, Vice President for Development Alumni Relations Mary Surridge.
Suite named for Janice Becker, psychiatric nurse and Covenant Church member
CHICAGO (November 15, 2012) — With family, friends, invited guests, and the University board of trustees in attendance October 26, North Park University dedicated the Janice I. Becker Nursing Simulation Suite in its state-of-the-art Nursing Simulation Lab Facility. The suite honors Becker, a longtime member of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC), and a psychiatric nurse in Massachusetts for nearly 40 years before her death from cancer in 2009.
After Janice's death, her husband, Richard, moved to Covenant Village of Florida, Plantation, where he learned about the University, and in particular, its simulation lab facility. He eventually visited the lab, and was invited to honor his wife's career and dedication to the Covenant Church by naming a lab suite for her. North Park is affiliated with the ECC.
"What a wonderful day this is," said Richard. "Janice was my sweetheart, the love of my life, and she was a very special person to anyone who worked with her or called her their friend." In his dedication remarks, Richard described their life of devotion to each other that began when they met in 1960 while singing in a choir at a church conference in New Hampshire. Richard, who was in the U.S. Air Force and stationed in Maine, remained in touch with Janice, and traveled long distances to the Boston area to see her.
After they were married, Janice was hired in 1967 as part of original staff of the newly formed psychiatric unit of Emerson Hospital, Concord, Mass., where she worked until her retirement in 2003. Describing her as a "tough nurse," Richard said, "Jan truly loved her work at the hospital and never considered it a job. She lovingly cared for her patients, and many of them loved her right back." In 1997, Janice Becker was named Massachusetts LPN of the Year, "the crowning moment" of her career, Richard said.
Janice was an avid reader and photographer. She was adept at needlepoint, and knitted caps for seafarers. She also had a strong faith in God, enjoyed reading Bible stories, and with her soprano voice, sang in their church choir in Massachusetts with Richard. "Dear to Jan's heart was the music of the church, especially songs that embraced her Swedish heritage. Music was in Jan's blood," he said. They traveled together with friends, and continued to do so after Janice was diagnosed with cancer. The Beckers were married 47 years.
"Janice was a very special lady, and this is a very special occasion," Richard Becker told the group at the dedication. "I believe she is looking down on us right now and smiling her approval."
Mary Surridge, University vice president for development and alumni relations, presented Richard with a book of remembrances about Janice. Copies of the messages will remain in the lab suite, she said.
In his comments, Dr. David L. Parkyn, North Park University president, said the suite will have a positive effect on the University's nursing program in many ways. For example, he observed that people teach and learn best in well-equipped spaces. "Nursing education at North Park is rooted deeply in its students and faculty, but also takes on a character of its own because of the space provided," he said. Parkyn thanked Richard for on behalf of those who will be cared for by nurses trained through the facilities of the Janice Becker suite. "Her lifetime of care for people out of her dedication to this profession will be continued for so many years to come, and in the lives of so many people," Parkyn added.
The simulation lab has enabled faculty to train students to provide quality care to patients, said Dr. Linda Duncan, dean of the North Park University School of Nursing and Gretchen Carlson Memorial Endowed Chair in Nursing."This has made a tremendous difference in our students, in our graduate students, and in the welfare of our patients," she said.
Opened in September 2011, the high-tech Nursing Simulation Lab Facility enables students in nursing and other disciplines to practice critical skills in a simulated, safe, learning environment. Simulations are recorded, and students and faculty routinely review their work. The lab has also attracted attention from others in the health care community. For example, about a dozen health care building professionals people toured the lab last month while attending a national symposium in Chicago.
