More about our guest speaker:
Dr. Donovan L. Graham completed his doctoral studies in counseling and educational psychology at New Mexico State University. He taught at the secondary level and then the college level for nearly 40 years, the last 32 of those being at Covenant College. Throughout his teaching career, he attempted to understand and apply what biblical principles should mean to the way we educate students.

After retiring from Covenant in 2004, Don served as Spiritual and Pastoral Counselor for World Harvest Mission in Ireland, but has since relocated with his wife Wilma to Colorado Springs where Don currently serves as the Director of the Center for Teacher Renewal.

Graham has also kept up with his writing, overseeing a second edition of Teaching Redemptively: Bringing Grace and Truth into your Classroom (2009) and completing his new book, Making a Difference: Christian Educators in Public Schools (2011). His newest project, the Center for Teacher Renewal, is in many ways a culminating work which combines his gifts of teaching, counseling and spiritual renewal for Christian educators.
