Presidents Note

California Baptist University offers students a distinctive higher education experience with a decidedly Christian worldview. We call it the CBU experience. It combines quality academic programs, a vibrant campus life, championship athletics and opportunities to serve at home and abroad. We believe it is a winning combination that can help every member of the Lancer Nation to “Live your Purpose®.”

We challenge students to develop the skills, integrity and sense of purpose that glorify God and also distinguish CBU graduates in the workplace and in the world. An important way we help them meet that challenge is by concentrating on CBU’s “Core 4” universal outcomes.

These are designed to help all students become: Academically Prepared, Biblically Rooted, Globally Minded, and Equipped to Serve.

This focus on success seems to be resonating with more students, year after year, as evidenced by continuing enrollment growth over the past decade. The 201617 academic year saw a record number of students at CBU—a total of 9,157 in all enrollment segments. That was an increase of more than seven percent increase the previous year. The most recent 24-month period featured net enrollment growth of 1,200 students.

Along with enrolling more students, California Baptist University also is producing more graduates than ever before. Applications for commencement numbered 2,554 during the latest completed academic year—the largest number in the history of CBU.

Best Colleges by U.S. News and World Report (USN&WR), currently ranked as a top 40 “Best Regional University in the West.”

For many students and influencers, such third-party rankings are an important factor in the college selection process. They also validate the choices made by thousands of students currently pursuing their higher education goals at CBU—by confirming the value and quality of the programs that CBU offers in both traditional and online settings.

I hope you will read the articles in this report about the achievements of CBU faculty and staff members who helped make the past year at California Baptist University one of the best yet. And I hope you, too, will be as encouraged as I am about the future of CBU and the Lancer Nation as we strive to realize the vision of a university committed to the Great Commission.

May the Lord continue to bless!

2016-2017

Live Your Purpose At California Baptist University, we believe that each person has been created for a purpose. CBU helps students understand and engage this purpose by providing a Christ-centered educational experience that integrates academics with spiritual and social development opportunities. Graduates are challenged to become individuals whose skills, integrity and a sense of purpose glorify God and distinguish them in the workplace and beyond.

To that end, CBU targets the following as outcomes each student should achieve along the way to graduation: The university seeks to provide academic programs that prepare students for professional careers, as well as co-curricular programs that foster an environment supporting the intellectual, physical, social and spiritual development of each student. Upon completion of a degree program, each student at CBU should be able to:

Dr. Ogbochi McKinney Distinguished Scholar of the Year, Assistant Professor of Public Health

“I truly believe that God brought me to this university,” said Dr. Bochi McKinney, assistant professor of public health for Online and Professional Studies and 2017 Distinguished Scholar of the Year at California Baptist University. “I’ve always wanted to do research, and now I’m in a position to do that for people who really need help.”

McKinney joined CBU as an adjunct professor in 2015. She has come a long way from her native Nigeria, an African country on the Gulf of Guinea. Famed for its waterfalls, dense rainforests, tribal communities and many languages, Nigeria is also known for its high HIV-AIDS rates that impact the country’s family structure. McKinney recalled how her great-uncle and aunt died of the virus in the early 1990s.

“I had no idea at the time they died of AIDS,” McKinney said.

“They left my cousins as orphans. The virus, in general, has caused devastation to many families.”

“I truly believe that God brought me to this university.”

6 // President’s Report

McKinney was recognized for her research proposal to study factors that contribute to an increase in mother-tochild transmission of HIV in Nigeria and Uganda. The award will help fund her research efforts. McKinney plans to assess the effects of HIV testing and counseling, in addition to measuring access to food, nutrition and HIV care, along with quantifying social support, intimate partner violence

and mental health issues.

“There is a cultural stigma in Nigeria that what you do not know will not kill you,” McKinney said. “HIV is a complex social issue in Nigeria; many factors need to be addressed for the disease to diminish.”

McKinney has been preparing for this type of project her whole life.

“I was raised in an environment where there are many unspoken rules, especially for women,” McKinney recalled.

“There are many conversations that women don’t have because they are too ashamed to discuss them.”

Beyond her intimate knowledge of the culture, McKinney has also spent significant time in academia to understand the complexities that affect HIV treatment in African countries. McKinney has received three degrees from California State University, Long Beach: a bachelor’s in African studies, a master of public health with an emphasis in community health education, and a master of public administration with an emphasis in public policy and administration.

McKinney earned a doctoral degree in health education

and epidemiology from Loma Linda University. Her dissertation was titled “Predicting Antiretroviral Medication Adherence of Malawian Women.”

During her doctoral studies, McKinney met Dr. Pamela Mukaire, who is from Uganda and who did her dissertation on maternal child health. With their shared passion for children, the two formed a bond and agreed to work as a team on this research project.

“I have a passion for people, especially young girls,” McKinney said. “I want them to know that God doesn’t see them through society’s eyes.”

McKinney’s doctoral research opened the doors for her to speak to various professional health and assistancebased organizations throughout the country. She also has had the opportunity to present at the United Nations on the healthcare delivery for HIV and AIDS in Sierra Leone, another West African country.

McKinney plans to spend more time in Nigeria soon to start building the relationships she will need to further her research. For her, it is all about service.

“I want God to use me to help empower women through my work,” McKinney said. calbaptist.edu // 7

Dr. Kathryn Norwood Distinguished Professor, Dean of Assessment and Accreditation

“I’ll build [students] up so that they know, yes, you too can do this, you can accomplish this.”

8 // President’s Report

Dr. Kathryn Norwood

California Baptist University

Dr. Kathryn Norwood teaches graduate level online education courses at California Baptist University, one of the many roles she has served at the university. The relationships she develops with her students, for the most part, are digital. But Norwood said this does not stop her from trying to make meaningful connections.

For instance, each week she creates a personal, informational video to encourage her students in their studies. The video also includes a devotional message.

“I always want to maximize their potential. I want to do whatever it takes so that their eyes will be opened and they’ll see the next door that opens for them,” Norwood said. “I’ll build [students] up so that they know, yes, you too can do this, you can accomplish this.”

Norwood said.

Norwood has held various positions at CBU since 2006. In her current role, in addition to teaching, she also prepares numerous reports for accreditation purposes.

A visit to Norwood’s office gives a glimpse into her passions. Displayed on her desk are photos of International Service Projects trips Norwood has participated in at CBU. She has led five teams to countries such as Rwanda and China. In the summer of 2017, the entire team she led to Belize was composed of OPS students.

Norwood said she keeps leading ISP teams because of her desire to serve others.

Norwood, dean of assessment and accreditation for CBU’s division of Online and Professional Studies (OPS), was named the 2017 Distinguished Professor of the Year.

“We have this gift, this wonderful secret and God doesn’t want us to keep it to ourselves. He wants us to share,” Norwood said. “We work as a team and develop these skills. The idea is that it’s not all about that one-time, three-week trip. It’s about getting out there, coming out of your comfort zone and coming back with “It’s not anything I did because everything about me, God gets the glory. He created those skills and hopefully the rest of your life you’ve been impacted by that.” me; he gave me the gifts and talents. He placed me here. All I did was walk through the door when it opened,” said Norwood, in response to her award. “I’m Norwood’s office also features photos of Yosemite National Park. Her first date looking forward to more opportunities, whatever other doors open. I’m anxious to with the man who became her husband, Robert, was a 50-mile backpacking trek in see what God has around the next corner.”

Yosemite. Additionally, a picture of a sailboat bears this inspirational quote: “The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects the wind to change. A An important life verse for Norwood is Isaiah 30:21: “Whether you turn to the right leader adjusts the sails.” or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”

Norwood, who is a sailor, chose that quote because she understands what it means to adjust course in sailing and in life.

“God is always saying to us, ‘It’s OK. I got you, so listen to know whether to go to the right or the left,’” Norwood said. “It’s a system of guiding when you’re trying to “You’re sailing along but then the wind shifts and you have to be prepared to adjust make a decision.” and to tack those sails. That’s what a leader does,” Norwood said. “I feel that’s what God has called me to do.”

This principle has also guided her decisions in her professional career. Norwood had worked in various school districts for 17 years as a teacher, counselor, assistant principal and principal before coming to CBU as an adjunct professor. When a fulltime position opened up at CBU, she jumped at the opportunity.

“I took it because I felt like that was the door that God was opening for me,” calbaptist.edu // 9

2016-2017

Nathan Hicks 2017 Employee of the Year, Assistant Director of Housing Services On Feb. 1, 2017, the morning calm at The Village student housing complex literally went up in flames and smoke as a fire erupted in a student residence.

Working in an adjacent office, Joni Dunlap, CBU housing operation manager, was one of the first to notice the dense, dark cloud of smoke rising from the roof. She quickly alerted Nathan Hicks, assistant director of housing services.

“She started yelling fire, and I just got up and started to run to the area that was only about 100 feet from our location,” said Hicks, pointing at the burning residence on a detailed campus map that hangs in his office. “When I first arrived on the scene, the fire was spreading fast and flames were bursting through the window.”

Hicks asked Dunlap to grab as many fire extinguishers as she could. As Dunlap brought one fire extinguisher after another, Hicks continued to shoot down the flames. He was only able to contain the flames and not fully able to put out the electric fire that had erupted.

However, Hicks and Dunlap were able to hold the fire at bay until backup arrived, which included several engine crews from the Riverside Fire Department. When help arrived, Hicks sprinted to the back of the dorm, flinging open the sliding door.

He then dashed through the apartments searching for any 10 // President’s Report

students who might be still in the complex. Fortunately, there were no students in the area. Additionally, due to the heroics of Hicks and Dunlap, the damage on that day was contained to just one unit.

Hicks was named CBU’s 2017 Employee of the Year for his actions that day that exemplified his commitment to student services. Hicks considers himself to be in the business of making students feel welcome on campus—even if he never gets to meet them.

“If I don’t hear from students, I know I’ve done my job,” Hicks said.

Hicks and his team work to create a comfortable, cozy, safe and welcoming housing experience at CBU. During the 2016-17 academic year, CBU housed more than 2,500 students in its nine on-campus housing locations.

Opening the door to exit his makeshift summer office in The Cottages, Hicks steps over some paint and tape. These materials and others are used each summer to bring student residences back to a high standard of living, Hicks said.

“We do this multiple times a year,” Hicks reiterated.

“Whenever a student moves out of a room, we get in there to ensure it gets back to the way it was when the student first started living there.”

Nathan Hicks

California Baptist University

Hicks does not consider himself a perfectionist; rather, he views his works as a purposeful pursuit.

“I want dorm life at CBU to be clean, fully functional, consistent in appearance, in order for students to feel at home,” Hick said. “When I work, I am always pursuing the idea of doing things better. I want to be picky on our living arrangements, I want to think that my kids would be living in one of our dorms.”

Before coming to CBU, Hicks worked for more than 25 years as a foreman overseeing complex construction projects in the Riverside area before leaving his job to help plant a church in the Chicago area. After two years in that role, he felt God’s calling for his next adventure.

Hicks said he has been “wired by God” to solve problems.

“I like change, I like growth, I like the impossible task,” Hicks said. “I don’t believe God will put me in a situation to fail.”

“I like change, I like growth, I like the impossible task.”

Hicks said that he loves the challenges that his job brings.

“With the growth and the changing housing needs, it requires us to be flexible and always searching for ways to meet the demands of student housing,” Hicks said. “I really enjoy that aspect of my work.”

“’What do you want me to do God?’ I remember praying,” Hicks said. “I had the opportunity to go back to my old job, but I wanted a clear direction from God.” Hicks and his wife, Terri, returned to Riverside with their three daughters—Shannon, Alison and Katherine. That is when he got a call from Kent Dacus, vice president for enrollment and student services at CBU. Dacus, who knew Hicks from the church they both attended, told him about an open position at CBU. “Looking back at my career, I see that God had been preparing me for this job,” Hicks said. “Everything we go through is preparation for something.” calbaptist.edu // 11

2016-2017

Academic Growth The campus of California Baptist University has expanded to some 160 acres, home to a wide range of traditional postsecondary educational programs. Additionally, CBU offers off-site classes including hybrid programs through the division of Online and Professional Studies (OPS) in the cities of Riverside, Brea, Rancho Cucamonga and Temecula.

A comprehensive Christian university, CBU offers degrees at the associate, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels. At the undergraduate level, CBU offers 85 majors and 67 minors. Additionally, CBU offers 35 graduate degree programs and three doctoral programs.

Fall 2016 saw the introduction of five new undergraduate majors: inflight services, unmanned services, entrepreneurship, comedic arts and sports analytics. The Gordon and Jill Bourns College of Engineering also launched a master’s program in mechanical engineering. Also in 2016, OPS launched its second doctoral program—doctor of business administration.

The College of Nursing celebrated its 10th anniversary in fall 2016. The College of Nursing (then the School of Nursing) opened with 62 students. Ten years later, 720 students were pursuing degrees in five programs. Since its inception, more than 1,000 students have graduated from the College of Nursing.

International Service Projects In the past 21 years, CBU has sent 515 teams to more than 50 countries through its signature Mobilization programs: International Service Projects (ISP), United States Projects (USP) and Summer of Service (SOS).

During that time, more than 4,560 students, faculty and staff have answered the call to serve.

Service projects typically involve teams of eight to ten members, conducting sports camps, teaching English to university students, providing healthcare and engineering skilled service, and assisting with various children ministries. The purpose is to work with the indigenous church and its leaders to form connections with community members that eventually create opportunities to share the Gospel.

Before departing for their fields of service, the CBU Office of Mobilization provides the participants with 75 hours of training. Half of that takes place during an Intensive Training Weekend. The weekend simulates opportunities to engage in service and gospel conversations. Additionally, teams receive weekly training for 15 weeks, covering topics such as cultural shock, spiritual warfare and specific cultural customs. As part of the training, teams also conduct Bible studies, practice sharing their Christian testimony and prepare for their specific service.

University Advancement Developing an abundance of resources empowers California Baptist University to bless its students, communities, country and beyond. The generosity of CBU donors flows directly into the success of the university’s mission. Some examples include funding scholarships that expand college access for disadvantaged students, as well as constructing state-of-theart buildings that support vital programs that contribute to a flourishing university community.

During the 2016-17 academic year, CBU received record levels of charity, highlighted by $17 million in gifts given toward a new building to house the Gordon and Jill Bourns College of Engineering.

In the spirit of this record outpouring of generosity, CBU has launched an ongoing Endowment Challenge, committing university funds to match endowment gifts on a dollar-fordollar basis. By focusing on endowment funding, CBU is building a long-term foundation for growth that will secure and 20 // President’s Report

enlarge the missional work at CBU in the coming years. The Endowment Challenge was initiated in the summer of 2016 and the campaign has already matched $2.3 million in gifts — thereby increasing the new endowment funds to $4.6 million.

The expansion of CBU endowment funds will form a lasting cornerstone of the institution, allowing the university to sustain its core values and widen CBU’s impact on the future.

As California Baptist University continues to strive for greater impact, University Advancement is committed to seeking and creating additional opportunities for charitable contributions.

The immediate educational climate demands dramatic growth and with CBU’s commitment to meeting this demand comes the possibilities for new and lasting investments in the future of its mission as a university committed to the Great Commission.

Significant Gifts The College of Engineering Building received $17 million in gifts and pledges, including individual gifts of $10 million, $5.5 million and $1 million to support the project.

CBU matched endowment gifts of $500,000 to the School of Christian Ministries for an endowed professorship.

CBU matched a gift of $500,000 to create a School of Christian Ministries lecture series endowment fund.

A pair of gifts totaling $540,000 funded scholarships for the bachelor of applied theology program at the School of Christian Ministries, with additional scholarships for Nursing, Business and Education.

CBU matched a gift of $600,000 to create the Park Family Scholarship Endowment.

Campus Development The past several years of unprecedented growth at CBU have coincided with remarkable campus development:

• College of Health Science campus

The remodeling project for the College of Health Science campus was completed in 2016. The new campus comprises more than 70,000 square feet under roof on more than 11 acres. The $17.5 million investment has resulted in new classrooms, laboratories and office space, helping to transform the campus into a state-of-the-art learning center.

• Events Center

• College of Engineering building

Another major construction project began in December 2016 when CBU broke ground for a new academic building to house the Gordon and Jill Bourns College of Engineering. The three-story, 100,000-square-foot building is being built between The Cottages (student residences) and the business and music buildings. The engineering building is targeted for completion in the summer of 2018.

Construction for the CBU Events Center began in 2015, with completion scheduled in time for start of the 2017 fall semester. The $77 million, 153,000-square-foot Events Center is the university’s largest indoor gathering space, seating more than 5,000. The arena will showcase the athletics programs as they make their transition to NCAA Division I competition in the 2018-2019 season.
