CHARLES AND MARLENE VEENSTRA SIOUX CENTER, IOWA Life for Charles and Marlene Veenstra has been entwined with Dordt College since they were students in the late 60s. They met here; Charles returned to teach here; they sent their four children here; and this year Charles will retire from here. “My dad believed Rev. Haan was on to something in his passionate commitment to a Kuyperian understanding that every square inch of creation and life matters to God,” says Charles. “That vision still fires me up.” “Dordt College has given me more than I’ve given it,” he says, after four decades of service. He and Marlene have been giving back for all of those years. “When you give, your care for something increases,” they say. That care has extended to hundreds of students. “It’s been a joy to help students work through their gifts and, step-by-step, find their calling and place in this world.”
