A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

Dr. David Hazen is the newest addition to the Department of Education this year. He earned his Ed. D. from Walden University in Teacher Leadership in Curriculum and Instruction and will be teaching Educational Psychology, Instructional Design and Assessment for Middle and Secondary Grades, and Social Studies: Climate, Curriculum, and Instruction. David grew up in a small town in Wisconsin and is a Green Bay Packers football fan. He thoroughly enjoys exploring the outdoors; the Rocky Mountains in the west, especially the Bitterroot and Salt River Ranges of Montana and Wyoming, are his favorite places to travel. When he is not teaching, you can probably find David at one of his three sons’ sporting events, fly fishing, hiking or reading one of his favorite history books (1776, Truman, or Morning on Horseback by David McCullough). He is grateful to the Lord for bringing him to Messiah College in order to teach others and learn from them.

Messiah College Department of Theatre and Dance presents: Kindertransport
“Kindertransport”
Written by Diane Samuels
Directed by Clair Myers
A modern classic about one woman’s struggle to come to terms with her past – brutally separated from her German Jewish parents at the age of 9 and brought to England with the promise of a new life. This play examines the life, during World War II and afterwards, of a kindertransport child. Though fictitious, it is based upon many real kindertransport stories.
“Kindertransport” is a play written from the heart, calling to the heart. In opening our hearts together and probing the invisible parts of our psyches, personal and collective, we can experience imaginatively what we fear, what hurts and what we yearn to be healed.” – Diane Samuels, Author
