I was honored to sit down with Dick walker, an influential figure at Cedarville University, to hear his story and write a profile about his career. Over a two hour interview, I focused on the angle of service in Walker's life. My favorite stories capture people like Walker and share their unique experiences with others. This remains one of my proudest accomplishments and favorite articles. In the spring of 2024, Walker passed away and I wrote an obituary for our publication while abroad.

Summary: Dick Walker contributed largely to Cedarville University, having worked on campus for 42 years, beginning as a food service worker and ending in Alumni Relations. In addition to the many positions he held at the university, Walker also brought popular staples such as Getting Started Weekend and The Rock to campus. He was also thought of by many as a mentor and friend. Loving others, as he knew he was called to do by the Bible, was a theme Walker desired to be prevalent throughout his life. And undoubtedly the people closest to him would agree that he accomplished this goal.
