Points of Pride
DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF GREENSBORO COLLEGE: In this special annual report edition of Points of Pride, we are proud to tell the story of those within the Greensboro College community–students, faculty and alumni–who have committed to serving our communities and the world. These individuals have effected positive change where it is needed most, and we are honored to have helped these individuals find ways and reason to serve our communities. John Wesley, the great evangelist and founder of what became the Methodist movement in America, wrote:
Do All the Good You Can, By All the Means You Can, In All the Ways You Can, In All the Places You Can, At all the Times You Can, To All the People You Can, As Long as Ever YOU CAN!
As we approach the celebration honoring the 175th anniversary of the founding of Greensboro College, we naturally and properly reflect upon our past, present and future. And this issue of Points of Pride celebrates ways in which the principles of our founding as a college of the Methodist Church are being honored today and will be in the days and years to come. Read these stories and be inspired–and proud of who we are and who we nurture our students to be.
With Pride,
Lawrence D. Czarda, Ph.D. President

Greensboro College
Coach Ian Spooner To monitor the academic progress of his team, Spooner has implemented a system of checks and balances. He stresses time management and requires all newcomers to participate in team study halls. Spooner stays in contact with professors to identify and assist struggling students. “We are always on our players about their grades, classes and exams,” Spooner says. “We have noticed that our grades are slightly better during the traditional season than they are in the offseason. Therefore, we try to find ways to keep the grades up during the spring by getting the students to maintain a routine.“
Academics, athletics, community service: the three pillars of the women’s soccer program at Greensboro College. These are the values that head coach Ian Spooner instills in his players from the moment they step on campus. Among the annual goals Spooner has set for his program are finishing in the top three in the athletic department in team GPA, winning a USA South Athletic Conference championship, and earning the Village 401 Award for community service. While The Pride have had numerous successes on the soccer field, it is the team’s accomplishments off the field that are garnering attention. The women’s soccer team has posted an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher in each of the past four years, including a 3.2 mark during the 2011-12 school year. In recognition of its success, the team has earned back-to-back Team Academic Awards as presented by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. “Our mission as a program really begins in recruiting,” Spooner says. “We make sure that potential recruits understand that academics will be the number one priority for our team.”
The team has also had an impact in the community, winning the Village 401 Award in each of the past two years. During the 2011-12 school year, The Pride volunteered with the Special Olympics and the N.C. Youth Soccer Association and took part in Martin Luther King Jr. Day service activities, Relay for Life, and Alternative Spring Break service, as well as various clinics and on-campus projects. “We want our players to understand how fortunate they are as individuals,” Spooner says. “They need to realize that there are always other people that are worse off than they are.” While Spooner emphasizes that community service is voluntary, he holds his players responsible for honoring their commitments. “We present different opportunities and projects for them as a group or as individuals to choose and participate in,” he says. “However, if we commit to something, we expect our players to follow through with it.” Judging by the results, it is safe to say that Spooner’s team has upheld that commitment while becoming a model program not only for Greensboro College, but NCAA Division III athletics.

“We are all connected in this world, and it is our duty to take care of each other.” — Ladale Benson
SPOTLIGHT ON
Ladale Benson
You would be hard-pressed to find a young person with as much heart as Ladale Benson. The Ladale Bensons of the world lead by example and inspire, motivate and challenge the rest of us to be better people. Benson graduated from Greensboro College in May 2012 as a Liberal Studies and Religion major. “One year after (becoming) a student at Greensboro College, I realized that it was all right for me to think for myself or, in a sense, to be strange,” Benson says. “It was a liberating time for me, and I actually believe in a sense it saved my life from one of conformity to one of deep love and justice.”
He has volunteered with Greensboro Urban Ministry, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and AmeriCorps. He served as a youth boxing trainer at the Greensboro YMCA and a mentor at Dudley High School and the Greensboro Public Library. He also protested against laws he considered unjust. “For me, [service] has a lot to do with my understanding that I was somewhat lucky to have had people that love me in my life,” Benson says. “The thing is, I know everyone didn’t have this, so I feel it is my duty to try to spread love to everyone I come in contact with so maybe love could be the driving force in our world. Now this is a deep hope of mine, but I do believe I am at least making the world a better place.” He knew the choices could lead to uncomfortable experiences, but he believed – and still does – that such experiences are what change the world. “Go work at a place that seriously makes you uncomfortable,” he advises current students who hope to change the world one day. “Try to envision that this person or subject is something close to your heart, and do all you can to protect it and love it.” Since graduation, he has continued to work in the Boys and Girls Clubs in Concord, N.C., and with a women’s shelter. He also has continued to work for organizations fighting for social justice, including the Occupy movement, several LGBT initiatives and the NAACP. Amidst his volunteer commitments, Benson recently was ordained and is attending Hood Theological Seminary in Salisbury, N.C. “I have to say from the bottom of my heart that my studies at Greensboro College helped me find God within myself so I could share it with the world,” he says. “I found myself in the midst of serving others. What I mean by this is by loving others and seeing their pain, I saw a reflection of myself. I also learned that we are all connected in this world, and it is our duty to take care of each other.”

Nikki Christakos
In the summer of 2010, Nikki Christakos of Efland, N.C., was living in Greensboro and was, well, bored. “I guessed I needed more to do,” she says. So she began volunteering at Greensboro Urban Ministry’s soup kitchen. Since then, she has managed to incorporate community service not just into her spare time but also her academic courses and an internship, all through opportunities she discovered at Greensboro College. A senior majoring in psychology and sociology, she plans to spend a year in the AmeriCorps national community-service program after she graduates in May 2013. She has served people at Urban Ministry’s night shelter and clothing bank, in addition to the soup kitchen. She has built houses with Habitat for Humanity and helped put on the annual Neewollah celebration on campus for children from nearby neighborhoods. As part of a class a year ago, team-taught by sociology professor Cheryl Brown and psychology professor Lisa Gunther-LaVergne, she volunteered at Greensboro’s Interactive Resource Center, a day center that serves people who are homeless.
And she has helped with the college’s new community garden behind the Reynolds Family Life Center. Produce from that garden – more than 600 pounds as this article went to press – is donated to Greensboro Urban Ministry. Helping maintain the year-round garden is one of the duties of her current internship. Since enrolling at Greensboro College, Christakos estimates that she has spent more than 500 hours in community service. To put that number in perspective, Dean of Students Ilona Owens estimates conservatively that the entire student body puts in a combined 1,000 hours per year. And she doesn’t shy away from demanding work. In June 2011, two months after a series of tornadoes swept across North Carolina, she and fellow student Jessica Butler traveled to Lemon Springs, N.C., to clear fallen trees and other debris from yards and driveways in a subdivision where home reconstruction was about to begin. For Christakos, service is both a lifelong habit that she began in her family’s church and a calling she can neither escape nor ignore. “I can’t feel right without helping people,” she says. “If you go out and see people sleeping under a bridge, or you go to the soup kitchen and feed 350 people, you can’t ignore that. You’ve got to find time, because in this economy, you don’t know when that’s going to be you.”
For Christakos, service is both a lifelong habit that she began in her family’s church and a calling she can neither escape nor ignore.

Professor Ted Efremoff
Art professor Ted Efremoff believes art needs to be in more places than classrooms. So he has spent much of his career working to help others make art in the communities where he has lived and taught.
In the spring of 2012, his design class created signage intended for the Interactive Resource Center, a day center downtown that works to help homeless people find homes and jobs. And Efremoff says his artwork likely will continue that sort of focus.
Efremoff, a native of Moscow, did some of his first teaching, with both young and adult students, at the University City Arts League in west Philadelphia and also ran a theatre-based summer camp and a poetry series, “Urban Word,” there. Ultimately, he served on the center’s board and as facilities coordinator, promoting emerging artists in film, dance, music, poetry and theater.
“I don’t have any strict plans,” he says, “but my work often deals with communities and human rights, so that probably will lead me into more work in the community.”
“It’s the type of place where, if you wanted to take an art class and didn’t want to go to college, or if you were a child with little opportunity, it was there and it was very inexpensive,” he says. In Connecticut, where he taught before coming to Greensboro College in 2011, he served on the Visual Arts Committee at ArtSpace New Haven. The committee selected artists for shows and volunteered at receptions and other events. This past summer, he curated a show called “Insite/Out,” in which five artists lived in the gallery, engaged in interaction with the community and, based on those relationships, made art. One of the artists, he says, noticed that cobblestones around trees lining the street near the gallery were constricting the trees’ roots. So he pulled up the cobblestones, mended the soil to keep the roots healthier, and used the stones to fashion a table for the gallery on which he served tea made from plants for which he had foraged in the area. Since coming to Greensboro, Efremoff has become an artist-inresidence at the city’s Elsewhere collaborative downtown. In one project, he created a video projection and traveled Greensboro in Elsewhere’s surry – similar to a four-person bicycle – projecting his images onto buildings and even trains.
Efremoff’s Imaging Time class, in collaboration with the Elsewhere, collaborative, casts a projection onto a freight train in Greensboro.

Lorraine Orr
4,000 clubs. 4 million kids. One dedicated alumna. For 25 years, Lorraine Orr has helped the Boys & Girls Clubs of America positively affect millions of children across the globe. As senior vice president of field operations, she directs all national field operations of the five regional offices in the United States. She also oversees the organization’s work with military clubs in 15 countries across the globe, as well as the departments of training and professional development, child and club safety, club financial services and special initiatives. And she credits her success to Greensboro College. In the late 1980s, Orr was a standout student-athlete at Greensboro College. She played basketball, volleyball and softball for the college, speaks highly of her coach, Jean Lojko, and recalls the thrill when her team first defeated the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Then, in 1988, she found her life’s purpose. While doing an assignment for Greensboro College professor Dr. Willie Taylor–to whom she credits much of her success–she found Boys & Girls Clubs of America, introduced herself to the current executive director, and landed a summer job at the group’s summer camp.
“After the first week, I called home to talk to my mom and told her, ‘I found it.’ She asked what I meant, and I said, ‘I found what I want to do for the rest of my life.’ That summer was just that profound for me.” After graduating in 1988, Orr landed a full-time job with the Boys & Girls Clubs immediately. Her love of the organization’s mission has transformed her life’s purpose. “It just boils down to providing opportunities for young people to succeed,” Orr says. “It’s about exposing them to those things that will turn them into productive citizens. As an organization, we have an amazing vision for young people that everyone who walks through our doors graduates on time with a vision for the future.” Achieving that vision, she says, would make things better worldwide. On April 8, 2006, Orr was inducted into the Greensboro College Athletics Hall of Fame. With all of her achievements and accomplishments in her 25 years of service, she considers it one of her greatest moments. “Greensboro College was the right college for me.” Orr says. “I needed that connection. I needed the small college where you’re not a number, you’re a name. … The learning experiences, the networks, the connections I made as a college student really built the foundation of who I am.”

SPOTLIGHT ON
Greensboro College
Meredith Kelly
When she is not excelling on the soccer field or tennis court, Greensboro College senior Meredith Kelly may be seen volunteering on campus or in the community, hitting the books in the library, or being active in one of the many campus organizations that she is a member of. An All-Conference contributor on The Pride soccer and tennis teams, Meredith volunteers with numerous projects such as the Community Garden, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Special Olympics, Boys & Girls Club, Loaves and Fishes Christian Food Ministry and Caring Kitchen.
She is also involved on campus as the President for Campus Crusade for Christ and Vice President of Beta Beta Beta Biology Honors Society; a Pride Leader, Student Ambassador and Resident Advisor; and a member of the Kinesiology Club, Student Honors Organization, Academic Conduct Council, Alpha Chi National Honors Society, and more. Between practice, studying and volunteering, her days can fill up quickly. To get through even the most hectic of times, Meredith relies on her time management skills and prayer. “I like to work ahead and get stuff done in advance,” Kelly said. “It is also important to make time for myself each day to rejuvenate and regroup. Spending time in prayer helps with getting through the tough moments.” With her busy schedule comes sacrifice, however. “It requires saying no to friends sometimes,” says Kelly. “There are times where I just need to focus on class and soccer.” An Exercise and Sports Science major, Meredith says one of the biggest benefits of going to Greensboro College is the relationships with her professors. “It is nice knowing the professors on a personal level,” Kelly added. “I know that I can call or email my advisor Dr. Brooks anytime. It makes things a lot smoother and provides a better experience.” Meredith’s involvement, work ethic and dedication on campus have left a lasting impression on many people at Greensboro College – one of those being head women’s soccer coach Ian Spooner. “I am not sure I have ever met a calmer and more level headed person in all my time coaching soccer,” said Spooner. “She always leads from the front and her leadership and personality tends to rub off on those around her.”

Dr. Victor Archibong Through Rotary, Archibong also has taken part in the annual Big Sweep, sponsored by the city’s Rotary Clubs and the nonprofit Greensboro Beautiful. Each fall, individual participants and members of many area nonprofits put on their hip waders and clean litter from the area’s lakes, streams and other waterways. Archibong has even stood outside local supermarkets during the holidays, ringing a bell to collect donations for the Salvation Army.
When Americans talk about community service, one of the first groups to come up is likely to be the Rotary Club. And Victor Archibong, chair of the Department of Political Science and Legal Administration at Greensboro College, has been knee-deep, sometimes literally, in Rotary work for years. Archibong is a longtime member and past president of the Crescent Rotary Club, one of eight Rotary chapters in Greensboro. Through Rotary, he has worked on projects that provide clean water to communities in Latin America and Nigeria. Archibong also has helped provide polio vaccine for thousands of children in countries and areas where the deadly disease is still a threat.
Archibong, a native of Nigeria who came to the United States in 1974, has worked with the Nigerian immigrant community in Greensboro. Through the Nigerian Association of the Triad, he has worked on such projects as helping students prepare for the SAT. And he chairs the board of directors of the N.C. African and World Services coalition, a Greensborobased nonprofit. The agency was begun in 1997 as community support for Greensboro residents who had emigrated to the U.S. from Africa. It now is a resettlement agency for refugees from all over the world, using grants from the N.C. Office of Resettlement and the Ethiopian Community Development Council. The agency offers a full range of services in employment, education, finance, health and other basic needs. “We’re a nation of immigrants,“ Archibong says. “This work is strengthening the next generation of Americans.”

Martha Yarborough On her way to pick up food for her church’s Wednesday night fellowship meal, Martha Yarborough talks about why exactly she does what she does. Turns out, for her, it’s quite simple. “We can’t just take from a community, we have to give back. It’s a two-way street. That’s very important to me.” A 1966 Greensboro College graduate, Martha has been giving back since college as the secretary and vice president of the student government association and active member of the Alpha Kappa Gamma service society. She went on to teach at-risk youth in the Guilford County Schools, serve with the United Way, N.C. Zoo, High Point’s Macedonia Family Resource Center, the women’s prison in Lexington and Partners Ending Homelessness. “Everything I’m in has been evolved by people I associate with and I just felt like it was the right thing to do,” she says. “All of these groups sort of found me, but I think it’s mutual. We found each other.”
Yarborough volunteering in Kenya in 2010
If you’re involved in community work in the Triad, you’ve likely heard of Martha. She’s the person to whom others attribute their own motivation to volunteer. She’s the one whom others remember for her incredible commitment to her neighbor, to her alma mater, and to building up the communities around her.
Today, her civic engagement is off the charts and she shows no signs of slowing down. She is a board member and regular volunteer at Open Door Shelter in High Point, a board member for the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival, member of the Board of Trustees at Greensboro College, the vice chair of the High Point Community Foundation and chair of an adjunct committee of the foundation called “Heart of High Point” that distributes funds to nonprofits in High Point who need emergency funding. On top of all that, she’s extremely active in her church, Covenant Church United Methodist in High Point, feeding the homeless and leading mission teams and Sunday-school classes. “I feel very strongly that we need to be sharing our gifts, and one of my gifts is service to others and just connecting people,” Yarborough says. “I just feel that we are commissioned to share our gifts that our great God has given us–not just financial gifts but spiritual gifts as well.”

Matt Troy
His resume reads like a how-to guide on community service and civic engagement. As a junior political science major at Greensboro College, Matthew Troy has logged more service hours and contributed more to his community than many do in a lifetime. He has served as the supervisor for the student community service coordinators and as an AmeriCorps NC-ACTS fellow, completing 300 hours of community service in one year. He has volunteered with the college’s community service student organization, Village 401, and at Camp Bruce McCoy, a camp for adults with special needs.
“I want to look back on my college years, have no regrets, and say that I made a difference,” — Matt Troy
Service was bred in his bones. “We did community service as a family, and my mother was always looking for opportunities for me to serve,” he says. “One of the most inspiring service opportunities was working with the special-needs kids at North Stafford High School during my senior year. It was a life-changing experience that gave me a lifelong passion to work with those who have special needs.” Today, Troy serves as president of Greensboro College’s Student Government Association and as a Resident Advisor. He also works with Pride Productions. Somehow, he finds time to serve as a representative on the North Carolina Campus Compact student advisory board, and the National Voice and Action Student Committee to promote resources for U.S. colleges and universities to become more LGBT-friendly. Campus Pride named Troy one of the Top 12 Student Leaders in Action in America for his work in guiding a group of students through the process of establishing Greensboro College’s Gay-Straight Alliance. That process involved seeking the approval of officials not only at the college but also in the United Methodist Church.
“I believe in Martin Luther King, Jr.’s words, ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice,’” Troy says. “I believe through simple actions we can make it bend faster. When we serve others and the earth, we are just a step in the history of making the world a better place, and I believe it’s something we owe to the world for having the privilege to exist.” He is focusing his future on service as well. He has interned with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. “I want to look back on my college years, have no regrets, and say that I made a difference,” Troy says. “For me, there’s no rhyme or reason to serving and no drive towards any specific benefits to serve. I just enjoy it because the experiences shape who I am, and you never know what you’ll experience. It’s that element of surprise that gives me an emotional or spiritual high.”
