A visionary leader who is passionate about Christian higher education and the role it plays in the common good, Shirley V. Hoogstra became the seventh president of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities in September 2014. Having received a bachelor’s in education at Calvin University (Grand Rapids, MI) and a Juris Doctor, with honors, from the University of Connecticut School of Law, Hoogstra spent more than a decade practicing law as a partner at a firm that specialized in litigation in New Haven, Connecticut. She served as the president of the New Haven Country Bar Association and was a founding board member and officer of the Bridgeport Rescue Mission. She then returned to the world of Christian higher education and became Calvin’s vice president for student life in July 1999, a role she served in until she became president of the CCCU. As CCCU president, Hoogstra has overseen the introduction of a variety of new, innovative initiatives, including an online course-sharing consortium, insurance consortium, accreditation steering council, and doctoral education council. She has focused on expanding diversity and inclusion on CCCU campuses and making education available, accessible, and affordable to all students. Hoogstra continues to be an advocate for increasing access to education for incarcerated individuals and supporting undocumented students as they seek to complete their education. Hoogstra serves on the steering committee for the Washington Higher Ed Secretariat, is a leader for the Evangelical Immigration Table, and serves on the boards of the American Council on Education, the National Association of Evangelicals, and Trinity Forum. She received honorary doctorate degrees from Gordon College and Nyack College and was the recipient of the Nina Griggs Gunter Servant Leadership Award, the Lifetime Education Impact Award (National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference), and the Keepers of the American Dream Award (National Immigration Forum).

Silas Robertson, best known as “Uncle Si,” is Phil’s brother, best friend, and partner-in-crime. Si can be seen on almost every Duckmen DVD as well as the hit A&E Duck Dynasty television show. Si worked and hunted for Duck Commander since retiring from the United States Army in 1993. One of his primary responsibilities was fashioning the reeds that are inserted in Duck Commander duck calls. This Vietnam veteran often shares his war stories with the guys in the warehouse, which – much to Willie’s dismay – usually gets the crew behind schedule. Since retiring from Duck Commander, Si has been working on his music career with his band, “Si and the Si-cotics,” working on improving his Texas Hold ‘Em game, and of course, when duck season rolls around, you’ll find him in a blind. Uncle Si has proven to be one of the most popular characters on Duck Dynasty. You can learn all about “America’s Favorite Uncle” in his New York Times bestselling book, Si-Cology 1 and Si-renity. Si currently resides in West Monroe, La. with his wife, Christine. They have two grown children, Trasa and Scott, who each have four sons.
