LETTER FROM PRESIDENT SCHELLENBERGER

As I write this, it’s a breezy 18˚ on The Hill and snow lingers on the Quad. This is in stark contrast to the 90˚ weather that greeted students in August as they marched through the doors of Johnson Hall during the Matriculation ceremony! Now, students are back on campus after an exciting fall semester and a relaxing winter break, and they are fully immersed in their spring semester classes.

The changing of the seasons is a part of life on our campus here in the Midwest. Those of us who grew up here take it in stride, while our students from milder climates like Florida and Texas often enjoy the novelty of a first snowfall and sledding down The Hill. At Culver-Stockton we encourage our students to embrace change. In fact, our goal is for our students to be BOLD, think BIG, and create CHANGE. The way we do that is through providing opportunity. The articles in this Chronicle highlight how the opportunities provided here on The Hill impacted the lives of alumni who have since gone on to make their own impact on the world. I hope you enjoy reading about how Larry Thompson ‘67 and Elijah Richardson ‘18 have been bold and created change, as well as Robert Glass ‘52, whose generosity and forethought have enabled Culver-Stockton College to advance opportunities in computer and data science for the next generation of Wildcats.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Culver-Stockton in our mission to provide opportunity for students of promise. May your year be filled with good health and happiness!

Lauren B. Schellenburger Culver-Stockton College President

This collection of six comedic plays featured six C-SC student actors who each played multiple parts for an evening of entertaining theatre.

Students were immersed in learning about innovative companies to help them gain a better understanding of the corporate world. Students gained experience in conducting research to prepare for interviewing corporate leaders. Having the opportunity to meet and interact with successful entrepreneurs provides students with insights into the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship.

Nothing brings us together or bridges the gaps between people quite like food. There is a powerful connection between food, place, and culture. This course gives our students the opportunity to see and experience a new culture, consider the connections between food and identity, in Belize and Guatemala, and in their own lives.

In addition to reading and hearing about different religious perspectives, students visit a mosque, a synagogue, a Hindu Temple, a Buddhist Temple, a Holocaust Center, and the Cathedral Basilica in St. Louis.

Since C-SC shifted to the 12-3 semester and began emphasizing experiential learning, over 1500 students have taken this course. Having a wellrounded knowledge of various religious perspectives aids in understanding not only religions but the cultures from which they come.

Meeting the founders of Healthspan was exciting to see this revolution in healthcare in its infancy. Direct Primary Care is such an innovative approach to help patients to focus on preventative care as well as providing much greater access to healthcare professionals.

—Will Owen

I have work experience in the 3PL industry, and the opportunity to learn from Andrew Eisenbeiss was awesome. They have integrated technology and reliability to ensure that customer satisfaction comes first. Having a wait-list of drivers speaks volumes about the quality operations.

—Noble Oxford

By appreciating the cultural and economic stories behind the meals we eat, we can foster greater empathy, reduce waste, and celebrate the diversity that food brings to our global community.

—Kyla Ellis

Sharing these incredible experiences created lasting bonds and countless memories. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to take this class, and while I’ll miss the people and the places, the joy and perspective I gained will stay with me forever.

—Eleanor Cameron

Visiting the Hindu temple was a place I had an interesting experience. Though we learned about these temples in class, I believe seeing one in person helped me understand better.

—Rilee Allen

One of the most impactful moments, for me, was before we even got inside [the Islamic] mosque. Having to have security outside,due to the ongoing actions of Israel in the Middle East, speaks to just how fear and persecution is still taking place today in our world.

—Emily Radkins

2024 FRESHMAN MOVE IN

THE TABLE

More than just a gathering place

Every Sunday at 5 pm, The Table opens its doors in the Lab, offering students a warm space for food, fellowship, and worship. It’s more than just a gathering—it’s a chance for students to connect with others who share their faith and, equally, a welcoming refuge for those seeking community or a safe place to belong. Inspired by a deep understanding of the campus’s needs, Rev. Dr. Mandy Tarpening ’99 recognized the absence of a dedicated time and space for students to come together around faith. The Table was created to fill that gap, providing not only a place to meet but also an opportunity for spiritual growth and support in a vibrant, inclusive environment. This weekly event has quickly become a pivotal part of the campus experience, thanks to Dr. Tarpening’s vision and dedication to nurturing both the spiritual and communal life of C-SC students.

“The Table is centered around the idea of students coming together to share both in faith and a home-cooked meal,” stated Tarpening. The Sunday evening meals are generously provided by faculty, staff, and local congregations, with offerings ranging from lasagna and garlic bread to a taco bar. Students gather to enjoy these meals, build fellowship and community, and engage in worship and prayer as they grow together in faith.

Throughout the semester, guest speakers and local pastors have shared messages that brought fresh perspectives of hope and inspiration. “This semester’s messages served as a powerful reminder that the body of Christ is vast and interconnected,” stated Tarpening. “Each sermon was a reminder that God’s love for them is unwavering and unconditional, offering a constant source of peace and assurance in the worshipers’ lives.” Students have been encouraged to recognize and embrace the many blessings present in their everyday lives, fostering gratitude and spiritual awareness in even the most ordinary moments.

The centerpiece of The Table is communion. Taking communion together as the Body of Christ allows time for deep reflection and connection with God. Non-traditional methods of communion, such as using everyday items like Chex Mix® and Sprite®, have been incorporated to illustrate the idea that God’s presence can be found in the simple, familiar aspects of life. These unique communion experiences are designed to deepen the understanding of the sacredness of the Eucharist while connecting it to the blessings we experience daily.

Early in the semester, The Table’s gatherings started with a core group of 10-15 students. “Currently,” stated Tarpening, “anywhere from 35-40 students attend weekly.” Over 100 different students have participated during the first semester. The Table allows for personal growth and the formation of strong, supportive friendships among students. Tarpening strives to create a space where everyone is welcome. Regardless of their faith background, The Table does just that. Attendance has grown, and the worship-focused event has seen a consistent student turnout and increasing engagement.

C-SC students have consistently expressed their appreciation for The Table. Many have shared personal reflections on how it has impacted their college experience, offering insight into why it holds such a special place in their hearts. Kyla Grose states, “The Table has helped me to find a Christian Community on campus. I have met people that I would not have met otherwise, and for that, I am so very grateful.” When asked about the relationships she has built while

attending The Table, Ande Sherman is grateful for the safe space for socializing and faith practice, and appreciaties the engaging worship methods. “The Table is a welcoming group of students of all different backgrounds, beliefs, etc.. We start our time with food as we gather at The Table. We then listen to some worship music, have a devotion from Mandy or a special guest, and then we end our time with communion and a few more worship songs,” stated Gracyn Stewart. “I enjoy going to The Table and miss it when I cannot attend. I am appreciative of a safe and welcoming group of individuals who want to follow Jesus together on campus.” Students are grateful for the opportunities

“The Table has helped me to find a Christian Community on campus.”

— Kyla Grose

provided by attending The Table and appreciate the welcoming, down-toearth environment Rev. Tarpening provides. Nick Jarrett, when asked about his attendance at The Table, emphasized the welcoming nature of the event and the shared desire to grow in faith.

The Table has become a valuable part of the CulverStockton College experience, providing students with a space to connect, grow, and find support in their faith journeys. What began as a vision by Rev. Mandy, has evolved into a thriving community where students of all backgrounds come together for worship, fellowship, and nourishment. With the consistent growth in attendance and engagement, The Table has become more than just a weekly gathering—it is a sanctuary for students seeking spiritual enrichment and a sense of belonging. Tarpening’s commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment ensures that every student, regardless of their faith background, feels valued and accepted. As The Table continues to grow, it stands as a testament to the power of community and the importance of providing spaces where students can deepen their faith, forge lasting friendships, and experience the love and support of a faith-based family.

ROBERT L. GLASS ’52

Computing Pioneer Accomplished Software Engineer Author Philanthropist

In 1948, when Robert Glass was a senior in high school, his father, Leroy, was hired as a biology professor. Arriving on campus as an 18 year old, Glass quickly knew Culver-Stockton College would be the school from which he would earn his degree in mathematics. While on The Hill, Glass participated in Gamma Upsilon, Christian Student Fellowship, was the Homecoming publicity chair, and was on the Megaphone staff— managing editor his junior year, and editor his senior year. Additionally, Robert was in the band all four years, enjoyed getting to know his classmates and truly fell in love with the mission and purpose of Culver-Stockton. Following graduation in 1952, Glass attended graduate school and went on to have an illustrious career in the computing industry and is an accomplished author.

COMPUTING PIONEER & ACCOMPLISHED SOFTWARE ENGINEER

With a diverse background in computing, Glass’ experience includes development of significant software for applications in scientific, business, and systems. He was a software engineer, a pioneer in his field, and an early contributor to the aerospace industry. His professional career began at North American Aviation and continued at Aerojet-General Corp., Boeing Company, University of Washington, Seattle University, Carnegie Mellon University, Linkoping University, and Griffith University (Australia).

By 1972, Glass was working in academia. His accomplishments include working on a tools-focused research grant at the University of Washington and teaching in the Software Engineering graduate program at Seattle University. He also spent a year in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania teaching at the Software Engineering

Institute. In the 2000s, he began working at international universities including Linköping University in Sweden and Griffith University in Queensland, Australia. Glass retired from Griffith and continues to live in the land down under. With so much experience in both computing and academia, Glass affectionately describes himself by saying, “my head is in the academic area of computing, but my heart is in its practice.”

ACCOMPLISHED AUTHOR & WRITER

An accomplished author, Glass has written over 200 papers and 25 books on software engineering subjects and has been the author of regular columns for several of the leading software engineering journals. As an entrepreneur, he is president of his own publishing, training, and consulting company, Computing Trends. He has also served as an expert consultant in litigation of cases involving software theft.

Glass recently shared excerpts from Recollections of What it Means to be a Computing Professional which provides perspectives from his family’s close ties in the computing industry. “This is an unusual three-generation family story of the recollections of the computing software field, told by three generations from one family,” Glass shares.

The Recollections of Computing Professionals covers computing in the 1950s, 1980s, and now. It is a unique read as it takes us on a journey from

computers that were “massive room-filled devices” to mini-computers and finally to the application of computers in most of our everyday lives. (See excerpt below)

PHILANTHROPIST

MAKING AN IMPACT

As a proud alumnus of C-SC, Glass has made a profound impact on the institution through his generous support of education and innovation. He established two endowed scholarships to support computer and data science major. In addition, he funded the Robert L. (Bob) Glass ‘52 Professorship in Information Technology, furthering the college’s commitment to excellence in the field. These contributions reflect Mr. Glass’ dedication to advancing diversity, equity, and innovation in computer and data science.

With the assistance of alumni like Mr. Glass, Culver-Stockton College continues to evaluate the latest workforce trends in industries for its graduates. As the ever-changing world of computers has evolved so has the major at Culver-Stockton College. Led by experts from the field, the curriculum for the program continues to

stay abreast of industry developments including programming languages such as Python, data mining with R, and SQL development. Student growth is supported through practical experience, networking within the community, and personal project development.

Culver-Stockton College recently secured a grant to support its Machine Learning and Supercomputing Academic Club, which will purchase a supercomputer to enhance STEM education. Led by Dr. Joseph Liesen, the club provides hands-on learning in artificial intelligence, data analytics, and high-performance computing, addressing the region’s critical technology workforce gap. In a rural area where only 36 residents per 1,000 hold four-year STEM degrees, this initiative aims to build a sustainable pipeline of skilled graduates and drive economic revitalization.

Read excerpt below & scan the QR code to read the 3-generation story.

This is an unusual three-generation story of the recollections of the computing software field. It spans a period of some 70+ years and is told from the point of view of computing practitioners. When I graduated from C-SC, studying computers was not an option— computers essentially did not exist. You didn’t even think about preparing for a computing career since there was no such thing.

As time passed, I matured into a maturing computing field. Computers had come into being, and I had become a software professional. My son David followed in my footsteps and married Julie Nakamura, who was going into the computing field. (Fun fact, their children – Amy, Pam, and Mari – married computing professionals as well.)

What follows is a few recollections emerging from those three generations.

COMPUTING IN THE 1950s — ROBERT L. GLASS ‘52

In the early ’50s, there were few computers anywhere in the world. The ones that did exist were massive room-filling devices that couldn’t function without roomfuls of air conditioning and were most likely related to the defense industry.... scan code or go to bit.ly/CSCGlass to read more)

Thanks to Mr. Glass and his dedication to the field, in the past two years, the number of students enrolled as computer & data science majors has grown by more than 35%. ---------

I am deeply grateful for the generosity of Mr. Glass and the invaluable guidance he has provided. His support has enabled us to transform our program into an innovative and forwardthinking major that seamlessly integrates computer science, data science, and artificial intelligence. Now in its third year, the program has grown to include over 30 students pursuing this highly sought-after field of study.

—Joe Liesen C-SC Assistant Professor of Data Analytics
