We are excited to re-present Episode 1 of Cairn 10. In the summer of 2015, we launched Cairn University’s first podcast for alumni and friends, where we give our listeners an inside look at what’s going on at Cairn... "in just ten minutes." For our pilot episode, Director of Alumni Relations Nate Wambold sat down with President Todd Williams. A lot has changed since the episode first aired, but the mission and purpose of which President Williams speaks about has remained firm.

Do We Really Need Gym Class? It's just gym class, after all! The goal is for people to throw balls at each other, right? Wrong!

A published scholar, veteran educator, and Christian Camp director, Nancy shares a new and data-driven perspective, including how Christian camps got it right first, the role of one's actual potential in physical education, and changes in overall education in her experience.
