About Me

Intro

My goal in life is to serve others, be a friend, and make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ. I'm big on community service and I'm passionate about relationships. If you're looking for a tight-knit community where everybody knows your name, you found it.

From exams, dorm events, and study abroad programs, my students go all out. I'm especially churning out teachers and ministers, but I've got plenty of other areas of study as well. No one lacks enthusiasm around here. Some say the pep in my step is a result of my coffee habit, but I say life is just that exciting.

I'm less than two hours away from the beach, the mountains, and Portland, so my students have plenty of options for adventures. I'm pretty much living in the middle of a choose-your-own-adventure novel.

Before I was a university, I was a Baptist college, and before that I was a tuberculosis hospital. I'd say I'm Mia Thermopolis after the makeover...but I still wear my glasses. I'm hipster-chic all the way.

Name

Cadmar. He's a warrior and his name means "brave warrior." Clever name, huh?

Hometown

Salem, Oregon. Capital city of the beaver state. Good luck finding any beavers in this town, though, unless they're urban hipster beavers.

Birthdate

1935

Body Type

My student body peaks around 1,000, so I'm a slender gal, but don't let that fool you. I have a big heart and strong calves (you would too if you lived on a hill). Speaking of hills, my campus snuggles up to a great one, and you can walk from one side of campus to the other in ten minutes. It's very cozy.

My small class sizes make it possible for my students to develop friendships with my kind and intelligent professors. If you want a Dumbledore in your life, look no further.

Current Living Situation

Freshman must live on campus, but exceptions can be made for locals who want to live at home ('cause who wants to give up free food?). Commuters count for around one quarter of my student body, so my campus is car friendly. 

There are tons of apartments nearby, as well as townhouses on campus for married couples and upperclassmen. My five dorms have everything from two- to four-person rooms, and my dorm hosted events are super fun. From the man pageant, Mr. PVG, to Fraag ard's Pumpkin Smash, there's something for everyone.

Relationship Status

I score high on the likability meter, so I don't have many rivals...okay well there is George Fox.

George. Fox.

He's my liberal-minded neighbor over in Newberg. George may be three times my size but I can kick his butt any time. Sports, academia, general coolness, you name it. As Shakespeare would say, though I am but little, I am fierce.

Religion

It's not about religion. It's about relationship, and I take my relationship with Jesus Christ seriously. Bible classes are required for graduation, and some of my favorite professors teach theology.

My students are passionate about serving others and making a difference in the world. Just ask any of my ministry-related clubs, like Salt, who serves downtown with the homeless, or TrueNorth, who organizes my Spring Break mission trips. My students write statements of faith in their applications, and they sign what is basically a good behavior contract.

Okay, but since you want to know which religion and probably which denomination, I hail from a long line of Protestant Evangelical Christians, and my roots are Baptist.

Politics

I believe in freedom of choice and freedom of speech, so my students are diverse in their political choices. I don't have a strong inclination in one direction, except maybe away from lies. Lies are not cool.

You should apply to me if...

you want to make the world a better place and go to school at the Christian version of Central Perk.
