Dean's Desk UPDATE
With the 39th Annual Commencement at Cal Grad having just been completed, it is a time of
reflection for the staff, administrative team, and faculty. Our Fall schedule is being confirmed and plans are
underway to implement our expanded and updated catalogue. To glance backwards for just a moment, our 39th
graduating class was the largest class Cal Grad has seen in over a decade! Our progress from our re-start in
2004/5 has been monumental but our obstacles have been at times insurmountable as well. That leads all of us to take these summer weeks as a time of reflection and preparation.
New plans are quite afoot and yet what is ahead for 2008-09 remains only known by God. I have
a hope that those who have watched carefully, read these Dean Desk articles, received our Pro Excelesis
Newsletters, and have emailed me or others in the Administrative team, will understand that the progress we
have made has come at a great cost that now is beginning to make each one of us feel the weight of it.
We are all reviewing the past and thinking ahead. We certainly covet your prayers and
thoughts at this time. More than ever before it is truly necessary as we look ahead.
If you would like to be the first to see the Fall schedule or to schedule an appointment for
studies in the Fall, please send an email to our registrar at
blee@cgsot.edu and he will be sure to begin making a schedule of appointments for new or returning students
seeking more information.
Regards,
Scott D. de Hart, Ph.D.
