Professor Emeritus, Music

B.S., M.S., University of Wisconsin; Ed.D., University of Illinois

For more than 40 years, Dr. Osterlund taught all ages - from kindergarten to seminary doctoral students. He has been a part of television and radio production and involved in Youth for Christ and Band Camping programs. But perhaps the most life-changing time of his life was the four years Dave and his wife spent in Ethiopia, working with the Ethiopian, the European, and the American. He brings all of these experiences to his classroom, the choir, and to every cross-cultural class and worship discussion.
