PRESIDENT’S LETTER LAUNCH 2040

Greetings Ravens!

It is an exciting time to be on AU’s campus, with our full slate of online summer classes having concluded and the fall semester upon us! We had hundreds of high school and junior high students here for summer camps and completed significant improvements to our physical space, highlighted by new turf installed on our football and lacrosse field, and the baseball diamond. We had a number of Tri-S and athletic team trips over the summer, visiting eight countries and the Appalachian Trail.

These were rich experiences for faculty, staff, and students, including two baptisms on our men’s basketball team trip to the Dominican Republic.

We are also excited about implementing key aspects of our new strategic plan, called Launch 2040, where we aim to provide not only our traditional classes to more students through enhanced marketing and retention initiatives, but also offer workforce development certificates in key areas to interested students. We’re dedicating additional resources to adult and graduate programs for which AU has demonstrated excellence over the years, and are prepared to expand our transfer student population through improved processes.

Thanks to the Lilly Endowment, headquartered in Indianapolis, we have received several significant grants in the last few years, including a recent $250,000 planning grant. This grant enables us to partner with others, such as the city of Anderson, along with private enterprises, to submit a grant proposal for up to $25 million to help improve quality of life and educational opportunities for people in Anderson and the surrounding communities. We are excited to work collaboratively on this grant proposal.

The university is on track this fall to receive our designation as a Center for Academic Excellence for Cyber Defense, becoming only the second Christian school in the country to receive this prestigious recognition from the National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security.

As you can see, it’s an exciting time to be a Raven! Your support is crucial for us to continue the outstanding work that our dedicated faculty and staff undertake every day to provide outstanding, Christcentered education to students who, like you, have impacted the world for the kingdom of God. Blessings to you!

TRAINING IN THE REAL WORLD: STUDENT SAVES STRANGER’S LIFE THANKS TO NURSING LESSONS Briana Conners '23 recently graduated from Anderson University with her nursing degree, and when she walked into her first day at her new full-time job, she had real life experience that few her age possess.

She saved someone’s life.

Conners and her classmates completed the rigorous nursing program at AU, and throughout their time, they were asked to complete periodic Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) training.

The RQI program is the performance improvement program from the American Health Association that delivers quarterly training to support mastery of high-quality CPR skills. “With each quarterly assignment, I became more confident in giving CPR,” said Conners.

“I would have never imagined using these skills in a public setting, but am grateful for the training that was offered.”

In March, Conners was in the Indianapolis International Airport preparing for a flight to Florida when she heard someone yelling, “Does anyone know CPR?!” Conners rushed over to find a woman on the ground. She checked for the woman’s pulse and realized she did not have one. A retired nurse also arrived on the scene, and the pair began performing CPR. Conners delivered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and counted compressions. She was able to obtain an AED and place the pads, and by the third shock the pair was able to revive the woman. At that point, paramedics arrived and were able to deliver further care.

“Prior to this experience, I had never performed CPR on a real person,” said Conners. “However, thanks to the frequent opportunities and extensive training I received at AU, I approached the situation with confidence.” Because of her training and quick thinking in the moment, a life was saved.

REFRESHED & FAITHFUL ALIGNING ANDERSON’S BRAND WITH THE HOPES OF THE LAUNCH 2040 STRATEGIC PLAN, WHILE ARTICULATING IN NEW, EXCITING WAYS WHAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN TRUE ABOUT BEING A RAVEN. From the Anderson University Marketing & Communication Team

"I

f a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" You may have heard this philosophical thought experiment before. It raises the question, how effective is an unheard story?

It is one thing to tell your story, it is another to be heard. Studies report that the average human attention span is shrinking. People skim now more than ever. There is endless competition for our time and attention, and many storytellers feel the shift. How do I get the message across? How many views and likes did the story get? Was anyone really listening?

RISING ORANGE

Being heard is a real barrier that individuals, organizations, and brands are facing today.

Anderson University has spent the last several months exploring how to invigorate the ways we tell our story to ensure that AU isn’t simply the best kept secret in Indiana.

RAVEN BLACK

This fall, AU is embarking on a new way of talking about what is faithful and enduring about the university, along with some refreshed visuals, a revised color palette, and new fonts. In launching this brand refresh, we aim to differentiate the university in the higher education market, stand firm in our Christian identity, and be a leader in Christian higher education.

1917 CREAM

ANDERSON IS EAGER TO REINTRODUCE ITSELF TO THE MARKET AS A DIFFERENT KIND OF CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY THAT’S: • Unapologetically committed to Jesus and the authority of scripture.

• Welcoming to all students, while walking with them to get to know Jesus and what his word teaches.

• Intentional about community and an inspired campus experience.

PASSION MAROON

JESUS MEANS EVERYTHING to us.

ANDERSON IS INDIANA’S CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY.

JESUS. YOU. ANDERSON.

From the Valley, RAVENS RISE.

BUSINESS. NURSING. EDUCATION. ARTS. ANDERSON IS THE CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY FOR ATHLETES. TECHNOLOGY. MINISTRY.

10 | T H E A N D E R S O N U N I V E R S I T Y M A G A Z I N E

This new storytelling strategy is fueled by our steadfast commitment to educate students for lives of faith and service.

Post-pandemic, the demographic of those who seek higher education continues to shift, and the marketplace is crowded and noisier than ever. Even though the student is changing, AU’s values are resolute. To bridge that gap, we’re rolling up our sleeves and finding new and meaningful ways to connect with today’s students.

As part of our refreshed visual look, orange remains the hero color of the brand, and a few additional secondary colors have been added to complement it. The overall visual direction is more text-heavy, bold, and simple.

It tells an inspired Anderson story, one with new energy and enthusiasm.

AU is adapting and finding new ways to be light in a changing world. The university is responding faithfully to its mission, as AU has done for 106 years. Ravens have a rich history of both growing and enduring, and Launch 2040 is painting a bright future for the next chapter. This brand refresh enhances the possibilities of the new strategic plan and you’ll be seeing more in the months to come. We want your stories to be heard, not just told.

When you think of Anderson University, we hope you have fond memories and positive associations, that AU feels like an old friend.

Anderson is still that old friend—with a fresh new haircut.

he original audience of these words of Jesus were terrified.

What does this portend for the upcoming school

I know I would have been. Jesus tells them he will be leaving, that they will carry this work forward, that they would do what they had witnessed in the ministry of Jesus. They are told that they won’t be alone, not to be afraid, and a few chapters further in our Bibles, Jesus promises trouble for them (and us) down the road.

In the aftermath of such a gracious and powerful

The utter, sheer terror. Or perhaps I am just projecting.

I don’t know about you, but I like control. I like to develop and execute a plan. Of course, in my journey of following Jesus, these are the areas where I experience sanctification or, as I put it, having "the trash I cling to" exposed.

The spirit of God reminded and taught me much this past spring, namely that the outpouring of the spirit cannot be controlled or implemented in a plan. We saw students encounter the spirit in powerful ways: new depths of prayer and worship, freedom granted, community created, and repentance declared. The moment that encapsulates all this was seeing 13 students be baptized in Bennett Natatorium and some 200 of their peers celebrating with them.

year? Truthfully, I have no idea.

outpouring of the spirit, part of that "trash that I cling to" told me that I had to capitalize on this, that I had to lead us to even further experiences. In that temptation to plan and control, I felt the fear of potential failure.

Thankfully, the spirit reminded me of the truth of my role, not as campus pastor but the role that all who follow Jesus have: to simply follow.

Throughout his ministry, Jesus often explained what he was doing through stories, not slideshow lectures. This year, on campus and at chapel, we will be exploring these stories and all the ways "the kingdom of God is like…”

I believe the kingdom of God is available and accessible. The spirit reminds me of all the ways the kingdom has manifested on this small plot of land in the city of Anderson during our 106 year history. The kingdom is everywhere and available to all. Our job is to follow. For this new 2023-24 school year, our theme is: Right Here. Right Now. May we all be reminded. May we all follow.

DR. CAROLINE AHN MAKING HER OWN MUSIC Music has been in Caroline Ahn’s DNA for as long as she can remember.

The daughter of a music teacher, Dr. Ahn felt this was the path she was meant to follow. Upon relocating to the United States from South Korea in order to pursue her education, Dr. Ahn studied music and received her doctorate from Indiana University.

hile trying to balance writing and performing music, teaching, and managing family life,

Dr. Ahn answered a call to work at Anderson

University. She said, “AU was super welcoming and loving.” Her adjunct professor duties turned into a full-time role, and she has never looked back.

The School of Music, Theatre, and Dance is proud to offer music composition where students can explore their own creative pursuits and learn from real composers, such as Dr. Ahn. She is committed to helping students explore and learn while fostering a community of openness and collaboration.

“I’m kind of like a school mom,” Dr. Ahn shared, expressing how deeply she cares for her students and her desire to connect with them throughout their time at AU. Both campus and the Anderson community became a home for her, and she strives to carry the same sentiment forward for others.

Dr. Ahn always knew she wanted to teach, but she is also fulfilled by her own modern, classical compositions. She integrates her faith into her work, using it as a tool to worship the Lord and reflect God's glory. God's nurturing provision has been a guiding principle in her own life, and she celebrates that through her own music.

Moving forward as the new creative director for the department, Dr. Ahn plans to welcome anyone who has a desire to play or perform music, noting that they need not even be a music student. "I want to create a place for music to connect people on campus with each other and themselves," Dr. Ahn said. She also hopes to welcome more international students to the program in the future and prays the department will be an inviting place for all.

A musician, a teacher, and a mother, Dr. Ahn is always busy. However, she is never too busy to answer a phone call from a student or meet with someone who hopes to join in on the spiritual experience of music.

THE RAVEN WAY CODDINGTON LEADS NEW-LOOK AU FOOTBALL PROGRAM

J

onathan Coddington '14 is excited. You can hear it in his voice when he speaks. The new Anderson

University football coach has returned to his alma mater where he once quarterbacked the Ravens, and is now tasked with leading the 2023 version of AU

football in his first head coaching position.

Coddington is an engaged listener. He holds eye contact. He focuses on the conversation. He is intentional when he speaks. When the conversation turns to football, that’s when his blood gets pumping.

His pace picks up, and it’s as if the million thoughts running through his mind are on display for all the room to see. To listen to him is to feel his passion.

He was always going to be a coach; that much he knew. But to have one of his dream jobs already?

That’s something to be excited about. “There were a lot of emotions when I saw the job open up, excitement being the biggest one,” said Coddington.

Coddington comes to Anderson from Concordia University Ann Arbor, where he spent the last eight

16 | T H E A N D E R S O N U N I V E R S I T Y M A G A Z I N E

“I’ve thought about this job for a long time, and it felt like this was the right time and that God had laid the path for me to get to this point.” years on staff. He began as a graduate assistant, coaching the wide receivers before moving into a full-time role where he coached quarterbacks.

He spent the last three years of his tenure as the offensive coordinator.

Not only does he get to return home, but he also gets to experience life as a head coach. “I’ve been mentally preparing for the role for a while,” said Coddington. “The two head coaches I worked for at Concordia were phenomenal and delegated quite a bit, so that has helped me feel at home in this role.”

Coddington has been hard at work to install his vision for “The Raven Way”—a multi-pronged approach to doing things the right way and building a program that all university stakeholders can be proud of. Coddington believes that nearly every college football program in America does the same things, but it’s how they do them that separates the great from the good and the good from the bad. In turn, there are seven mantras that make up "The Raven Way," which will guide the program.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER We are for each other. Our love stems from our Christian faith.

CONTAGIOUS POSITIVE ENERGY Any success we have out on the field will start with a belief that precedes it within our group.

BE ALL IN We don’t just do things the right way when it’s convenient. We do it the right way regardless of the circumstances.

CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL STANDARD Our goal is to win a championship like everyone else, but that starts with the standard we set on game day, in practice, in the classroom, and in our interactions with others on our campus.

BE THE TOUGHEST, HARDESTWORKING, MOST COMPETITIVE TEAM IN THE COUNTRY Regardless of what plays are called, we can always control those three things.

DO IT BETTER THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN DONE BEFORE Individually and collectively, we must have the mindset that we’re going to do things better than they have ever been done before.

For as energetic and excited as Coddington is, he is not detached from reality. He understands the program has to lean into "The Raven Way" if it is to get where he wants it to be. But he is more than willing to engage all stakeholders, especially the program’s alumni, to drum up support. He started doing so on his own staff by hiring multiple alumni across different generations.

“I wanted to have some alumni on staff, people who love this place just like I do,” he said. “They are going to work hard for this place and they have all had success here as a coach or player.”

Coddington also brought a few coaches with him from Concordia and others he met along his journey.

Together, they make a well-rounded unit.

Excitement will be a theme throughout Coddington’s first season, and it’s something he hopes translates to the fans and alumni who come to Macholtz Stadium on game days.

“We’re going to win some, and we’re going to lose some,” he said. “But we’re going to compete every single day. We will stick to our plan, and that will help us arrive at our destination, which is to be the team that we want to be, that our campus is happy to have here, and that everyone can be excited about.”

ADD TO THE LEGACY This program has been successful. Who is next?

MAKING HIS MARK on ATHLETICS AN INSPIRING STUDENT ATHLETE STORY

18 | T H E A N D E R S O N U N I V E R S I T Y M A G A Z I N E

H

ailing from Buenos Aires, Joaquin Bautista is starting his sophomore year at Anderson University. Growing up in Argentina, Bautista found a tremendous passion for athletics at a young age.

His love for sports led to him attending various clinics his father would organize as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes leader for their area. Fatefully, this is how his AU story begins. Former basketball coach, Owen Handy, led his squad to Argentina one summer and during their travels, they came across a young Bautista. The team and Bautista formed a bond in the brief time spent together. This bond planted the first seeds in his mind that AU might be a place to call home away from home.

When the time came to apply to universities, Bautista knew he wanted to attend a school in the United States. The process was a lengthy one. After all, this was a massive decision. Upon consulting heavily with his parents and meeting with AU’s dean of students and admissions team, he was ready to make the long trek to Anderson, Indiana. He described this decision as a “true leap of faith.” In his heart, Bautista has a deep love for Buenos Aires, and the small city of Anderson would be quite a change. However, this leap of faith “has worked out perfectly.” The culture at Anderson was just what he was looking for. He shares, “being able to meet new people every day, but also see familiar faces everywhere really gives you that sense of belonging.”

His first year at AU was one for the books.

Competing in track and field and working as the AU men’s basketball manager, Bautista has continued to let his passion for athletics thrive.

“I love just hanging around the game and the team.

Jumping into practices is always fun.”

This love for sports doesn’t stop at just basketball.

Like any true student at AU who loves sports, Bautista has gotten involved in several intramural sports on campus. Between basketball, volleyball, and softball, he hopes to bring an IM championship shirt back home to Argentina. As an exercise science major, Bautista hopes to take the skills and expertise he gets at Anderson and apply them back home. Once again, his love for sports and leading a healthy and active life comes pouring through.

While Bautista’s AU story is only just beginning, it’s had quite a colorful first few chapters. Over the rest of his AU journey, he’d love to continue to grow in his field, win some IM championships, and enjoy the food a bit more. He says, “the best food is in Argentina. I’m telling you!”

The AU family is tight-knit and couldn’t be happier to welcome Bautista.

AU that SERVES HOW AN AU STUDENT IS USING HER SKILLS FOR GOOD

A

nderson University has cultivated an environment that allows servant leaders to thrive. Christina Ziuchkovski '24, mechanical engineering major, finds herself constantly leaning into her servanthood through the academic and extracurricular offerings from AU. While Ziuchkovski has a complementary humanitarian engineering major alongside a PACT (peace and conflict transformation) minor, her desire to utilize her career to serve the kingdom wasn’t always a part of her plan.

“In high school I just wanted to be an engineer, make a lot of money, and have a secure life,” said Ziuchkovski. She continued with this mindset well into her junior year of high school. There was a dramatic shift, a shift to which she credits God, “He started to just really work on my heart. My focus was no longer in my own personal goals but more towards the kingdom and how I could use

the passions that he placed on my life to further the kingdom.”

Ziuchkovski and her family are from Muncie, Indiana, and she always imagined flying a bit farther from the nest.

However, when she learned of AU’s humanitarian engineering program, she redefined her idea of home and relocated to the next town over.

AU’s humanitarian engineering major is a complementary major that blends engineering practices, humanitarian studies, business, and ministry.

“I am very passionate about missions work and using the skills that God has given me to help other people.”

20 | T H E A N D E R S O N U N I V E R S I T Y M A G A Z I N E

Ziuchkovski is especially intrigued by maximizing needed resources in a country or community and utilizing engineering practices to design and develop around those resources so that a community can continue to thrive.

Ziuchkovski’s freshman year was the first year of the university’s offering of the humanitarian engineering program. She credits this “meant-to-be” moment to God. Come May of 2024, she will in be the first class in AU history to graduate with this complementary major.

Ziuchkovski spent her summer months at an internship with Basic Utility Vehicle. This Indianapolis-based business is working to create a simple, low-cost, low-weight vehicle to operate, maintain, and repair throughout the rural parts of Africa. These areas have a low population density and vast distances to cover with terrible road conditions. The goal is to create a vehicle that is safe yet able to overcome the many obstacles in the African bush.

During the school year, Ziuchkovski is part of the AU choir, Center for Public Service, and will be going on a mission trip to Ecuador with the engineering program.

The university will strive to be nimble as workforce needs and demands change. “As employers ask for different skills and the workforce shifts, we will shift what we’re doing in the classroom to meet those needs,” said Dr. Taylor.

As AU looks to expand its offerings, online learning opportunities will increase as well.

While some already exist, part of Launch 2040 will study what additional programs are needed.

Exciting times are ahead for the 106-year-old Anderson

University, and all are invited to be a part of the coming changes.

“I would encourage alumni and friends of the university to reach out if they have questions about Launch,” said Pistole.

“We are all about impacting lives for Christ and the kingdom.

I would encourage anyone to look into this plan and if you feel encouraged and inspired by it, to come alongside us and support us through this.”

While the plan is to strengthen the university, Dr. Taylor hopes it will be clear what the university’s top priority is.

“First and foremost, Jesus means everything to us, and that’s why we’re doing this. That is what motivates us, and we don’t want that to get lost amongst anything else.”

With nets cast and a plan in place, the future starts now for Anderson University.

ALUMNI AWARDS

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD DR. JAMES L. EDWARDS BA '65, MDIV '70, LHD '15 Dr. James L. Edwards, Anderson University’s fourth president, began his work at Anderson College in the Office of Admissions while obtaining his master’s degree. In the summer of 1990, he answered the call to accept the presidency of Anderson University.

The Edwards years at AU began a period of growth of the campus, facilities, and programs. The campus nearly doubled in size. Over the span of a quarter century, he led the effort to raise more than $215 million for campus improvements. He received an honorary doctorate from AU in 2015.

President Emeritus Edwards will be honored for his service through the naming of Edwards Hall, which will house the School of Theology and Christian Ministry and Miller Chapel. A ceremony will take place during Homecoming and Family Weekend.

DISTINGUISHED YOUNG ALUMNI AWARD KEVIN SHEWARD BA '13, MBA '14 Kevin has been working with Aspire Indiana Health, a non-profit healthcare organization since 2016. Kevin and his team have raised more than $70 million to support various programs. He was selected for Madison County’s “20 under 40” in 2017. His role with Aspire’s growth was instrumental in Kevin’s selection as a fellow for the Geiger Gibson Health Policy Fellows Program through George Washington University in 2020. He also served as AU's most recent Alumni Council President.

36 | T H E A N D E R S O N U N I V E R S I T Y M A G A Z I N E

MOSAIC MULTICULTURAL ALUMNI AWARD AMBER MAY BA '05, MBA '09 Amber was supported and equipped by AU’s social work department to learn and to serve the greater Anderson community. She worked as a social worker for seven years.

Amber then began a career in higher education at AU where she transitioned to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) roles. She has led at multiple institutions in centering diverse identities.

Since 2022, Amber has been the DEI manager of learning and engagement for Clifbar Mondelez.

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD DR. DAVID BAIRD BA '80 Dr. Baird taught at Anderson University for 33 years, retiring this past May as department chair of Communication and Design Arts.

He also served as the faculty advisor for the student newspaper, the Andersonian. Dave felt deeply the responsibility of being a college professor, and he aimed to do his best during his tenure at Anderson. He’s exceedingly grateful to Anderson University for giving him the opportunity to do his life’s work and for being awarded emeritus status in 2023.

JOHN H. KANE LOYALTY AWARD SANDY (MOORE) BAKER BA '62 Sandy’s college involvements included Arete Pep, Anderson College Choir, and traveling with Melodaires Trio. As her husband H.L.’s work involved working with students in many ways, the Bakers enjoyed welcoming students into their home for meals, conversations, gatherings, and building relationships. They have continued to attend many activities on campus. Sandy most recently became a charter member of the Women’s Philanthropy Council, and she currently serves as one of the co-chairs of the group.

ALUMNI PROFILES A VOICE FIT FOR THE KINGS Gary Gerould '62 found his way to Anderson College as an aspiring broadcaster, knowing there was a program and a nudge (and generous, interest-free financial backing) from an uncle to attend the school. While at AC, Gerould would join the cross country and golf teams and would do some sports writing for the Anderson newspaper. He enjoyed his time at AU and valued the commitment to faith that the school portrayed. “The faculty and staff were good people that cared about me and humankind and really were determined to provide the best education they could to the students. The dedication and spirit of the people that worked there then and still do now resonates with me. I have a great respect for Anderson University.”

From Anderson, Gerould would end up doing what he set out to do even from a young age, broadcast sports. And boy did he! In 1965, he became a sportscaster for KCRA-TV in Sacramento and worked there for 12 years. In 1979, he elevated his radio sports broadcasting career, where he has been since, most notably as the 38-year radio play-by-play announcer for the Sacramento Kings. In late February 2023, Gerould called his 3,000th game for the Kings and is currently the longest active NBA radio broadcaster. Though basketball has been the most consistent sport he works with, Gerould has been involved in many other sports, covering everything from the Indy 500, NFL, 1988 Summer Olympics, all the way to sumo wrestling!

It is this breadth of experience that Gerould exclaimed has been the most rewarding aspect of his professional journey in sports. Getting to travel the world, calling a variety of sports, and connecting with the world’s finest athletes has been a blessing. And of course, through these many years with the Sacramento Kings, Gerould has been grateful for and is looking forward to the future. He said that he still loves what he does and, “as long as it’s fun, we have our health, and I’m wanted,” he’ll keep doing it. And why not? Gerould is an NBA legend and the best at what he does, especially for a franchise that is on the rise. Here’s to 3,000 and hopefully many more to come!

Gerould was the 2001 Distinguished Alumni Award recipient and entered the Anderson University Hall of Fame in the Meritorious Service category in 2020.

A LIFE OF FAITH AND SERVICE: THE STORY OF BISHOP CULP Bishop Robert Culp has not one, not two, but three degrees from Anderson University. Culp graduated in 1957 with a Bachelor of Arts in Bible and history, and in 1961 with a Master of Divinity. In 1989, he received an honorary Doctor of Divinity.

As a student, Culp was known for his skills on the basketball court.

He is the 15th highest scorer in school history and was inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame in 1998. He was also the vice president of the student council.

After graduating from seminary in 1961, Bishop Culp was called to First Church of God in Toledo, Ohio, where he served as lead pastor for 61 years before retiring in 2022. In this time, he has worked tirelessly to bring sustainable change to his community and is known for "his compassion and willingness to roll up his sleeves and get to work." He has served as Chairman of the General Assembly of the Church of God, President of the National Association of the Church of God, President of the Toledo Chapter of the NAACP, and a member of the Board of Trustees at Anderson University. He has founded four churches, two schools, a homeless shelter, and many other ministries.

Culp's impact has not gone unnoticed. His list of achievements and awards is extensive. Most recently, he received the Governor's Humanitarian Award from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, which "seeks to honor those quiet soldiers who promote the welfare of humanity and the elimination of pain and suffering through their own selfless service, often without recognition."

What an honor it is to call Bishop Robert A. Culp a fellow Raven!

CULP’S ACCOLADES INCLUDE: • Nominated for Toledo Young Man of the Year (1966) • Distinguished Alumni of Anderson University (1976) • Toledo Branch NAACP Lifetime Award (2007) • Outstanding Leadership Award from the General Assembly of the National Church of God (2002) • A street named in his honor in Toledo, Ohio.

AU that IMPACTS FROM THE ANDERSON UNIVERSITY ADVANCEMENT TEAM

A

ccording to Hebrews 11:1, “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."

The Launch 2040 fundraising campaign is an opportunity for the AU community to demonstrate our faith in God’s provision to sustain and grow AU, and provide unseen blessings.

Together with university resources, the Launch 2040 campaign will fund a number of projects that align with priorities of our strategic plan, such as enhancing the chapel experience and investing in academics and athletics. As we enhance the student experience through these projects, we can attract and retain more students to receive an AU education. This is how we impact students’ lives. This is how we serve God.

42 | T H E A N D E R S O N U N I V E R S I T Y M A G A Z I N E

The strategic plan has four key themes that are informing our path to the future:

• CHRIST-CENTERED • INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY • EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING • RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT As you learn more about the Launch 2040 strategic plan, we believe you will find a fit with the things you hold most dear about AU and want to help make happen for AU students. Here are some initiatives that together we can make possible and unlock the full potential of the strategic plan.

CHRIST-CENTERED First and foremost, Jesus means everything to us. We seek to place God as the foundation and center of all that we do. We aim to cultivate an inspired campus experience for student spiritual formation.

• provide a vibrant chapel program • increase student involvement in on-campus and off-campus ministry • offer opportunities for service to help develop servant leaders • enhance our mentoring programs

INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY Our goal is to continually emphasize, expand, and strengthen community. We are committed to being relationally driven and investing in our athletic teams and campus clubs.

• complete renovations of Macholtz Stadium • expand the esports lounge to accommodate the growing program • develop new club-based activities

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING Our students want experiences that make classroom learning come alive. We intend to provide world-class education through real life experiences.

• provide needed space for our dance program • identify more opportunities for hands-on learning experiences • develop more servant leaders through the Center for Public Service • improve experiential learning components for each major

RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT We must be faithful stewards of the resources with which we have been entrusted.

• make our campus more accessible for students with mobility constraints • expand career and calling services • increase enrollment in the School of Theology Spanish Certificate Program You can make an early investment in the future of AU and the Launch 2040 strategic plan by giving today. You will be supporting our work to deepen our Christ-centered culture and our relationships with each other, and providing more opportunities for experiential learning, as we faithfully invest your gift where it will be most impactful.

WOMEN MAKING A MEANINGFUL IMPACT

BY SERVING THE ANDERSON UNIVERSITY CAMPUS AND COMMUNITY

S

tudents taking a nighttime stroll through the Valley following a late-night study session at the Nicholson Library have noticed that, as of late, their pathway is far better illuminated than before.

It’s all thanks to one group of generous ladies who call themselves AU’s Women’s Philanthropy Council (WPC).

Formed during the summer of 2022 as a way for women who consider AU home to give back to the campus community, the WPC’s first big project was financially supporting the installation of LED lighting throughout the Valley — a $10,000 undertaking.

44 | T H E A N D E R S O N U N I V E R S I T Y M A G A Z I N E

The idea for the council came from AU’s own Associate Director of Annual Giving, Elyse Cromer '87. What began as the dream of one woman has sprouted into a diverse council of more than 60 alumnae, current and retired faculty and staff, and community members endeavoring to enhance AU’s campus and community through regular financial giving.

“I knew that there was tremendous power in women working together for a common cause, and that many women want to be a part of the solution by speaking into what would be funded,” said Cromer.

To determine what cause to take on next, the WPC sent word out to students, faculty, and staff, announcing that they were looking for projects to support—and the AU community delivered. The women of WPC recently voted on the proposals and determined which they’ll be funding in the coming year.

Here’s what they selected: funding a partial renovation of the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships; providing a furniture update for the esports lounge for current and prospective students; purchasing a lightboard for the education department; supplying additional wireless microphones for parent orientation sessions regarding mental health concerns; and acquiring a simulation tool for social work majors.

The WPC holds annual meetings, the first of which was held in October 2022, but the ladies don’t limit themselves to the once-yearly gathering — they’ve also enjoyed volunteering to hand out treats to encourage hardworking Ravens during move-in day and finals week.

To join the WPC, members are asked to make a commitment of $1,000 a year for three years. For those under the age of 40, the annual commitment is $500, and for current AU students who wish to join, the gift amount is $25. Any woman is welcome to join; those not local to Anderson have the option to participate virtually. To join the WPC or learn more about the council, contact Cromer at emcromer@anderson.edu.

A PEARL JUBILEE for an Iconic Monument HELIOS CELEBRATES 30 YEARS

30 46 | T H E A N D E R S O N U N I V E R S I T Y M A G A Z I N E

Helios is comprised of 150 sheets of glass arranged in a double helix formation that stands at 9 feet 4.5 inches tall.

F

or many who have spent time on campus, Helios comes to mind when you think of the Valley and spending time outside. Its iconic blue color, the twisting of the glass plates as they reach for the sky; it is truly breathtaking.

Created to commemorate Anderson’s 75th anniversary in 1993, the sculpture complements the construction of Hartung Hall. Arlon Bayliss, former art professor, was commissioned to create a landmark sculpture for the momentous occasion by former university president, James L. Edwards.

Helios with its accompanying fountain, continues to serve as a meeting place for students, faculty and staff, visitors, and alumni alike. It has long been the location of an annual Homecoming reception, decorated with holiday lights, and served as a stage for dance students. It is an iconic backdrop for nursing students who take great pride in gathering with their classmates for a photo upon finishing their clinical rotations.

Helios was Bayliss’ first public art project and the experiences he had throughout the project have carried through his successful career in art and sculpture. The joy he has working with his team is poured into every project.

Bayliss worked with other faculty, students, and a team of physical plant staff to pull the project together. Due to construction delays, the piece had to be constructed in less than four days to be ready for its grand reveal. It was a celebration of collaboration and pride in doing excellent work for greater purpose.

A beloved monument, Helios will continue to stand as an inspiration for growth, discovery, and community.

ADVANCEMENT PROFILE SUPPORTING THE ARTS: A FAMILY TRADITION Sitting and talking with Larry and Renee Allen in the living room of their lovely home, it is apparent that they love music, theater, and dance—all areas of interest at Anderson University they have substantially supported. Larry, a retired physician, has had a lifelong interest in the arts.

Renee’s love for the performing arts began as a young child, progressing through opportunities for high school productions in drama and show choir, and continuing for many years as an actor in local theater in the Madison County area. Although neither of the Allens graduated from Anderson University, their commitment to providing resources for performing arts programs was sparked by the realization that the AU programs could be an inspiration to local students who might realize that a quality education is available in their own backyard.

As is often the case with generous benefactors, the Allens' love for AU grew as they were able to watch their investments make our programs better, much better. In fact, Dr. Jeff Wright, emeritus dean of the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance (SMTD), commented that their financial support “built our program into what it is today.” Dr. Wright was not discounting the skills, abilities, and great efforts of the amazing faculty or the students whose work is so often shared on our campus. He was, however, noting that the resources provided by the Allens over the past 20 years have made possible a level of technical expertise in student productions,

48 | T H E A N D E R S O N U N I V E R S I T Y M A G A Z I N E

through inviting professionals to be involved in areas such as lighting, costuming, sound, set design, and choreography. The Allens have provided for a broad experience for students beyond simply singing, acting, or dancing, opportunities that are largely unparalleled in schools of AU's size.

The legacy of the Allen’s generosity is tied to another couple with their own legacy of community support, support that included Anderson University all the way back to the early 1980s. This was Renee’s aunt and uncle, Thelma and Fred Boze.

Fred was a high-ranking General Motors executive who worked with the company for 49 years.

Upon his and Thelma’s passings, Renee was the beneficiary of a sizable estate, which she utilized to create the Fred and Thelma Boze Foundation.

Allens have also significantly supported AU's programs in cybersecurity and nursing, as well as a scholarship for women in national security.

There is a joyful energy felt when talking with the Allens about the SMTD. They have enjoyed many student performances on campus, built relationships with faculty and students, and have the distinct pleasure of knowing that their generosity has made a substantial contribution to the wonderful reputation, education, and experience of the SMTD and its students. The Allens are a wonderful example of a community partner making Anderson University an even better place to get an education, particularly in the performing arts.

By Brent Baker '85

The Boze Foundation has been a primary source of gifts the Allens have directed to Anderson University, totaling nearly $500,000. From these Boze Foundation gifts, and other donations, the Thelma V. Boze Endowment Fund was created with the annual earnings providing funding for the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance. The Boze Endowed Fund has provided more than $300,000 to the SMTD since 2006 and funded the creation of the Boze Lyric Theater, a regular series of musical theater and opera productions.

In addition to growing the Boze Endowed Fund, the Allens have made significant gifts to support scholarships for male dancers and the jazz ensemble. Outside of the performing arts, the
