VPN Not Working Properly

VPN doesn't work on campus

Users do not require VPN on campus. All campus networks have been set up properly so that all access is available without the need for VPN.

VPN doesn't work at home

Try rebooting your computer.
Are you running a filter (SafeEyes, K9)? Filters often will not let internet access through if VPN is connected.
Did you change internet service providers? Some internet providers need a slightly different setting than normal. If you have not changed, or the change does not match the time that VPN stopped working, it is most likely not the problem. Contact Technology Resources for assistance.
Does VPN connect but not display any webpages? Check the proxy settings of your web browser. The browser should be set to automatically detect proxy settings.
If you have a different computer at home, try installing VPN on it to see if the problem may be related to the specific computer.
If you still have trouble, visit Technology Resources.

After 20 years of teaching mathematics and computer science to thousands of freshman at BJU, I transitioned into the position of Director of First-Year Experience and then to Direct of Student Engagement & Success. As Director of Student Engagement & Success, I have the awesome opportunity to meet and interact with many of the students who attend BJU. My goal for first-year students is that as they transition from high school to college, they will develop the habits, passion, and skills necessary to become a mature believer passionately pursuing God by honoring Him in your vocation and ministry calling.

My husband, Gary, and I have four children: two teenagers and two twenty-somethings. Our family serves in a variety of ministries at Morningside Baptist Church. We are invested in the students God has called us to serve and welcome them frequently into our home. As a family, we enjoy camping, hiking, and white-water rafting.

I graduated with a B.S. degree in Foreign Language Education from Bob Jones University in 1980 and then taught German for the next 32 years at both Bob Jones Academy and University. During that period I also lead groups of students on the German Mission Team until the summer of 2010. In 2005 I earned a Master’s Degree in German from Middlebury College in Middlebury Vermont.

My wife Valerie and I have three adult sons: Derek lives in Dallas with his wife and two sons, Ben and his wife live in San Diego and his twin brother Andrew and his wife live in Hamburg Germany. When I’m not working I enjoy reading, fitness, art and almost anything outdoors.

I graduated from BJU in 1996 with a BA in Bible. I spent the next two years as an Admissions Counselor at BJU and earned my MA in Theology during that time. I taught for four years at a Christian school in Hershey, PA, and then I worked for two years on the staff of Keystone Christian Education Association. From 2004 until the end of this past school year I served the Lord as a teacher and the Athletic Director of West Chester Christian School in West Chester, PA. I enjoy coaching basketball and have coached on the Middle School or Varsity level for 17 years. My wife Karen and I have eight children and enjoy just spending time in the chaos we call home. I'm a life-long Philadelphia sports fan, and I spend my free time looking for a roller hockey, soccer, or basketball pick-up game to play in.

I am a Ghanaian from the city of Accra in West Africa. I completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science, in 2012. I worked as a Counselor Officer at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration for a year and then as a Human Resource Consultant Manager for three years. I also worked with my church as ministry staff primarily with the youth ministry and outreach team.

I work in the Testing Center and Academic Resource Center. I am currently working on a Master of Divinity degree at the BJU Seminary. I enjoy assisting in ministerial activities and fellowshipping with others.

In 2016, I graduated from Bob Jones University with a Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science. I am currently working on my Master’s degree in Communication Studies. I enjoy working with first-year students and getting to know them both inside and outside of the classroom.

Besides hanging out with first-year students, I enjoy outdoor activities, such as cycling and cliff jumping. In the future, I hope to start an actuarial consulting business in my home country, Dominican Republic.

I received a BS in Business Education and an MS in Counseling from Bob Jones University in the early 90’s. I taught in the School of Business for 15 years. I currently serve as the academic coach and first-year advisor for the intercollegiate athletes.

I have been married for 22 years and have four children. I like to go thrift store shopping and love to read.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Bob Jones University in 2013. After graduation, I spent an incredible summer at Northland Camp and Conference Center in Wisconsin before returning to BJU in the fall as a staff member. I served for several years in the Registrar’s Office at BJU where I first sensed my call to higher education. To clarify that call, I suspended my time in the Registrar’s Office for a year while I worked at the University of South Carolina in Spartanburg, SC before returning to BJU in fall 2016.

I currently serve on the first-year experience team as the Transition Advisor and work closely with transfer students and students who are considering alternative directions with their choice of major. I am also enrolled in the higher education program at Messiah College in Harrisburg, PA and am completing an internship this spring at Southern Wesleyan University. Lord willing, I will earn my master’s degree in May 2018.

I graduated from Bob Jones University with a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities in 2017. I’m currently working on a Masters in Theological Studies at Bob Jones Seminary. I work in the Testing Center and as the editor of the Vintage. I hope someday to work at the church, the university, or both.

I recently married my dear friend, Hosanna. She works as a chef, English teacher, and freelance writer and editor. We enjoying talking about theology, eating ice-cream, and watching films, generally, all at the same time.

I am a Graduate Assistant working on my doctorate degree in Old Testament Theology at the BJU Seminary. I grew up in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, in the rolling foothills below the Blue Ridge Mountains. My childhood was full of bare feet, bikes, and BB guns. When I was in my mid-teens, I felt the Lord calling me into ministry and planned to enroll at BJU as a ministerial student.

In 2014, I graduated with my BA in Bible and married the love of my life. I came back to school in the fall of 2016 to get my MA in Biblical Studies. In the fall of 2017, I completed my MA and found out that we are expecting a boy in early April. Currently, I mainly work in the Testing Center, but I also manage the tutor system and help with various projects in the office of First-year Experience.

I am from Charleston, SC and can honestly say that it is my favorite city. I graduated from BJU in 2006 with a BS in Mathematics Education, and was married to Tim Smith the following month. After graduation, I began teaching in Greenville County Schools, where I continued to teach for 9 1/2 years. While teaching, I earned my Master's of Education degree from Anderson University in 2013.

Last September I made the transition to Bob Jones University ARC. My husband is a Senior Art Director for a Graphic Design agency in Anderson, SC. Tim and I have four children. We enjoy being outdoors, heading to the beach whenever possible, and visiting new places around the Greenville area.

I graduated from Bob Jones University with both Bachelor of Science and Master of Education degrees in Special Education. I then served as one of the Learning Resource Center teachers for Bob Jones Academy for four years. I transitioned to the position of Assistant Director of the University Learning Resource Center and later became the Academic Accommodations Supervisor and first-year advisor. During this period, I earned a Graduate Certificate in Postsecondary Learning from the University of Florida.

I am married with 4 children ranging in age from 2 to 17 years old. My family and I enjoy walking in downtown Greenville and making occasional trips to Hendersonville, NC. We serve in a variety of ministries at Morningside Baptist Church.

Currently I am teaching Chinese at BJU and advising international freshmen. I hold a qualification certification of Mandarin Level A from China. Since 2001, as the first Chinese teacher at BJU, I have created a three-year Chinese program and curricula. Besides teaching, I have been advising international freshmen.

I married Dan Leach. We have three daughters. My other skills include competitive badminton and Chinese brush calligraphy. I am an active member of the Greenville Badminton Club. Having grown up in Northeastern (“Dongbei”) China with a father who was a super chef, I loves Dongbei cuisine, including making its world-famous dumplings.

After receiving my BA in Humanities on May 29, 1974, two hours later I married George Matzko in the War Memorial Chapel. I have worked in three departments since we came back to BJU in 1979: Admin Asst to the Dean of the School of Applied Studies, Records Office staff, and Media Center staff which became part of the ARC where my current job is Data Specialist. My husband is a professor in the Division of Natural Science. We have spent thirty-one summers on BJU summer mission teams: nine in Nova Scotia and twenty-two in Australia. We have three married children (both daughters are married to pastors) and seven grandchildren.

I graduated from BJU with a degree in English and earned a Master of Library Science from the University of South Carolina. I enjoy helping people find success with the written word. In my free time, I text cooking advice to my three adult children and attend Bruins basketball games with my history professor husband, Dr. Mark Sidwell. I also volunteer to teach English to speakers of other languages at Greenville Literacy and occasionally eat blueberry pancakes at Eggs Up Grill in downtown Greenville.

I received a BA in English from Bob Jones University in 1991 and I am currently working on a MA in Biblical Counseling from Bob Jones University. I currently serve as the Supplemental Resource Supervisor which includes the Testing Center, Tutors, Study Groups, and Smarthinking.
