Speakers

You can find Calvin grad Matt Vriesman '07 teaching history in an East Kentwood High School classroom. His teaching methods may look different, but they've captured the hearts and minds of hundreds of kids. This has earned him high honors as not only the Michigan History Teacher of the Year, but also the National History Teacher of the Year. Dean of Education Brian Bolt sits down with Vriesman to discuss how he shares his love of history to the current generation.

Calvin University's campus is designated as an arboretum. While having an arboretum on a college campus isn't necessarily uncommon, having an entire campus designated as one is rare. Take a virtual walk with certified arborist Bob Speelman across our 400-acre campus and learn from his three decades worth of experience on the maples and oaks, and the many memories that shape the grounds.

Both Dr. Chad Tatko and Coach Trent Figg find it common to put the letter "O" on a white board when teaching. One stands in front of chemistry students talking about oxygen and other elements; the other in front of football players talking offensive and defensive schemes. Both find the lessons the other teaches just as important in developing the whole student. Listen as they discuss the intersection of sport, academics, and faith. This lecture is only online.
