Donors The Ted Ward Writing Award, established in 1991 and funded by Mrs. Evelyn Egtvedt, was named in honor of Faculty Dialogue's co-editor, Dr. Ted Ward, who serves currently as G.W. Aldeen Professor of International Studies and Mission at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and is Professor Emeritus in Higher Education at Michigan State University.
