Alumni Spotlight: Cassandra Frear

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Biblical Studies (New Testament) and a Teaching Fellow at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, PA. Currently, I am assisting with Greek classes, developing fresh approaches to teaching Greek, and studying for comprehensive exams.

CIU classes in Greek and Hebrew were excellent foundational preparation for more advanced doctoral work. I have also benefitted significantly from the self-care habits and spiritual disciplines that I developed at CIU in conjunction with my classes. My professors often encouraged me to make my coursework applicable to daily life, and this factor alone has been invaluable to the management of my Ph.D. workload.
