Education Stories

Teachers Paul and Claire Hunter are investing in students by using the proceeds from selling their vacation home to establish six endowed scholarships at Moody.

This past February, I was privileged to be part of a group from Moody Bible Institute to attend two graduations for students at the Moody School of the Bible in Ghana, West Africa.

The day after Labor Day in 1993 I sat in the provost’s office interviewing for the professor of Jewish Studies position at Moody Bible Institute. Dr. Howard Whaley greeted me warmly, then cut to the chase: “With the Jewish Studies program being so small and Lou Goldberg retiring, this would be a good time to end the Jewish Studies major.”

Dr. Rosalie de Rosset started working at Moody Bible Institute in 1969, the same summer of the Woodstock music festival and the first man on the moon. More than half a century later, she has officially retired as professor of Literature, English, and Homiletics.
