            and Then featured in the Autumn 2003 Response. Find out more.
 The Case for Good Business
 He not only ran one of the country’s most successful companies, but he also set a new standard for principled business leadership. Max De Pree, chairman emeritus of Herman Miller Inc., tells Response how his faith shapes his philosophy of business.
 Real-Life Ethics
 What does it mean to bring integrity to bear in the marketplace? Five leaders provide inside views of the challenges and rewards of doing the right thing in business.
 
 Another Way of Doing Business
 SPU’s School of Business and Economics has always championed a theological understanding of business as service, says Dean Jeff Van Duzer. Students wrestle with the question, “How can the practice of business have value in the eyes of God?”
 
 Special Delivery
 Though he is officially the co-owner of Oak Harbor Freight Lines, Alumnus of the Year Ed Vander Pol ’72 says his company “belongs to God.” The trucking operation delivers goods — and goodwill — throughout the Pacific Northwest.
 
 Dinner at Canlis
 When Chris and Alice Canlis and their staff prepare for another evening at the legendary restaurant Canlis, they tell each other stories. In 54 years, the Seattle institution has offered its own brand of personalized service to thousands of guests.
 Beyond the Shire
 John Rhys-Davies — Gimli in “The Lord
          of the Rings” films — came
            to SPU in January for a celebration of Tolkien's masterpiece. In
            a series of events, students explored ties between the epic story
          and the challenges of Christian discipleship.
