Fall 2007 semester, students in Dr. Kristena Gaylor’s Organizational Behavior Seminar participated in a site observation at Voices of Calvary Ministries headquarters located in downtown Jackson. Students, predominantly seniors, were able to see first hand how spirituality can be embedded into the culture of a successful organization. Voices of Calvary Ministries (VOCM) is a non-profit Christian Community Development organization committed to improving the lives and meeting the needs of individuals living and working in the West Jackson community as well as the capitol city. During the visit students posed questions to the CEO, Mrs. Erma Driver, as well as several VOCM employees. They discussed how the non-profit organization is driven by community improvement and how their organizational culture is committed to serving Christ in their work.
Before I went to Belhaven, I had a limited view on what college was about. I viewed it only as a place of academic learning. However, within my first semester at Belhaven I realized that there was much more to understand. College is also about "life's" lessons. Belhaven's professors teach their students to overcome life's challenges while keeping Christianity in the forefront. No one can put a value on guidance such as this. I appreciate this and every edification that was taught to me.
