Dr.
Valerie Tate Green will receive the James H. Costen New
Leadership Award at the 50th Charter Day and 11th Annual
James H. Costen Awards Dinner hosted by the Interdenominational
Theological Center (ITC) on Friday, April 25, 2008. This
prestigious award is named for the late Dr. James H. Costen,
former President of the Interdenominational Theological
Center. Dr. Costen was known to bring grace to difficult
situations and accomplished that which appeared to be impossible
in theological education. This award presented to Dr. Valerie
Tate Green is reserved for those whose personal commitment
makes a lasting positive impact on the communities that
they serve and society as a whole.
Through
its contribution to Student Affairs and Enrollment Management,
the Mary Dod Brown Memorial Chapel supports the educational
mission of Lincoln University. A major goal of the Chapel
is to serve as a moral compass at the institution. As much,
the Chapel also encourages in the student a desire to enter
into and contribute to the development of “community”
on campus and in the larger world. The Chapel is also a
spiritual resource for the administration, the faculty and
the staff of Lincoln University.
The
Chapel positively supports the student’s development
of scholarship, leadership, character and civility through
programming which fosters and sustains spiritual growth
and expression. In addition, the Chapel encourages a respect
for and appreciation of a variety of worship experiences
and faith traditions, thereby encouraging a culture of religious
tolerance.
The
Chapel is a learning laboratory, complementing the student’s
intellectual development in the classroom with worship experiences
that enable opportunity for the practical application 0f
skills that are important to personal success. The student
is actively involved in the conception and implementation
of Chapel programs. This involvement facilitates development
of the student’s communication skills such as critical
thinking, organization and presentation of projects, and
effective spoken and written English expression. These transferable
skills support the student’s career and professional
interests.
