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 with a BA in Bible and a MA in Theology. After graduation, I returned to my home state of Pennsylvania as a teacher and athletic director for 22 years. In 2016 my family and I moved to Greenville and my adventure as a First Year Advisor began. My wife Karen and I have eight children and thoroughly enjoy the chaos we call home. I'm a life-long Philadelphia sports fan and enjoy coaching basketball in my free time.

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.

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 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 who currently are or have been students at Bob Jones Academy and University. I enjoy working around my home, spending time with my children and husband, and serving in a variety of ministries at Morningside Baptist Church.

I graduated in 2004 with my B.S. in Organization Communication. After teaching at Wilton Christian School near Sacramento, CA, I returned to BJU in 2010 to earn a Master’s in Educational Leadership. Upon completing my Master’s in 2012, I hopped on a plane to the island of Guam to work at Harvest Christianity Academy. I ran the athletics program and taught classes at the Academy and Bible college until my return to the U.S. in 2017. I was BJU’s International Admission Counselor for 2 years, and then joined the First-Year Experience team in Summer, 2019.

I have been happily married to my amazing wife, Laura, since May, 2019. I met her playing beach volleyball, and we still play beach volleyball together frequently. We also equally enjoy escaping to the lake, mountains, or beach as much as possible.

I am a native Greenvillian, my family is originally from North Carolina. I completed a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business, Office Administration in 1997. I worked in the real estate and medical industry as a practice manager for 17 years before returning to BJU. I am also a Student Pastor’s wife at Morningside Baptist Church for almost 25 years. I enjoy my position as Office Supervisor for the Academic Resource Center & Program Coordinator for First-year Experience. I enjoy planning Summer Orientation and Welcome Week events and helping first-year students transition to college.

My husband Jeff and I have three daughters. Our oldest is a BJU sophomore. We consider it an honor to work with high school and college age adults. When we are not working, we enjoy home renovating, traveling, and mission trips.

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.
