RUBLE takes helm as 14th president

LIGIS

Newly inaugurated President Dr. Randall T. Ruble said he intends to “build on our history at Erskine,” “give momentum to the present,” and “leave this office with the promise of greater things to come.”

In keeping with Erskine’s heritage — it is named in honor of the founder of the Associate Church of Scotland — the event began with a bagpipe processional. Erskine College junior Grace Washam played the pipes as delegates from the State of South Carolina, members of the Erskine Board of Trustees, clergy from the General Synod of the ARP Church, and delegates from colleges and universities joined Erskine’s administration, faculty, platform party and new president for the colorful march.

Referring to Proverbs 29:18, which reads in part, “Where there is no vision, the people perish,” Ruble spoke about his vision for Erskine.

“The meaning of vision in that text has to be understood in terms of God, that is, where there is no divine vision, no understanding, no obedience, people perish,” he said. “That, I think, is true for Erskine.”

Ruble said he has been rereading histories of Erskine. “My hope is to bring into the present and future the best lessons which can be learned from the past.”

Citing Erskine’s historic connection with the ARP Church, Ruble said, “Part of the reason I wanted this service in this church is to affirm our intention to stay close to the church and to fulfill the purpose for which the church brought Erskine into existence.”

In order to “give momentum to the present,” Ruble said, it is important to understand Erskine’s ongoing story, including its organization and where it is headed. He said some reorganization will be needed, and some changes are already under way.

Expressing his desire to “move into the future with hope and optimism,” Ruble outlined a number of challenges Erskine must face, including sustaining educational quality, making Erskine affordable and accessible, maintaining a balance between accountability and improvements, creating a global perspective, and integrating faith and learning.

Central to Ruble’s vision is what he described as “the faithlearning enterprise,” linked to Erskine’s history as a Christian institution. “Our job is not simply to transfer knowledge but to shape character and values,” he said. “Our challenge is to faithfully preserve and pass on the Christian tradition while encouraging honest intellectual curiosity.”

A 1958 graduate of Erskine College and a 1961 graduate of Erskine Seminary, Ruble received the master of divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary and the doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He was seminary vice president and dean for 21 years, retiring in 1997.

Erskine,

Parker’s initial word to the graduating seniors — after she told parents present that they might want to cover their ears — was “relax.”

“When I was in your shoes I had no idea what I wanted to do,” she said.

As a student at Florida State University with a major in Spanish and a minor in international affairs, “I thought I was in training for a lifetime of transcontinental romance,” she said.

Since she didn’t know what she wanted to do when she graduated, Parker went on for a master’s degree in Spanish. When she still didn’t know what she wanted to do, she began a graduate program in dance — but that wasn’t right, either

“It dawned on me that I probably would not be able to feed myself as a bilingual ballerina, so I changed course again and entered a Ph.D. program in Spanish literature specializing in 17th-century drama.”

Still dissatisfied, she went to see her major professor and told him she wanted to quit. He surprised her by urging her to go out and “do something creative.”

“So I did the most creative thing I could think of,” Parker said.

She quit her doctoral program, borrowed some money from a bank, and started driving north from Florida on I-95 with no real destination in mind. When she came to the intersection of I-95 and I-26, she considered whether to go west to Columbia, where an aunt lived, or east to Charleston, where she had a first cousin.

“I took a scientific approach,” she joked. “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.” The children’s rhyme landed her in Charleston, leading Parker to her first newspaper job and eventually to a fulfilling career Telling graduates to “evict your inner schoolmarm” and “be yourself,” Parker cautioned, “Becoming yourself is no easy trick. Sometimes to become yourself you have to take a chance.”

“Do what you love,” Parker said, and although this might not lead to the fame and fortune that many young people think they want, it is likely that in doing a job they love they will do it well and be recognized and rewarded for it.

Parker has contributed to more than a dozen newspapers and magazines during her 20 years as a journalist and has won numerous awards. She began her twice-weekly commentary column in 1987 for The Orlando Sentinel. After syndication in 1995, her column rocketed in popularity and now appears in more than 300 papers nationwide.

Two seniors from North Carolina, Amy Dawson of Mooresville and Elizabeth McDaniel of Gastonia, tied for the highest average with a perfect 4.0.

Dawson responded to Parker’s speech on behalf of the class of 2007, stressing that as Christians, Erskine graduates “are not merely seeking to serve ourselves.”

“We may fail,” she said. “But as long as we pour ourselves into the work we have to do, it will be enough.”

McDaniel introduced the speaker, saying Parker’s goal is to “inject a little sanity into a world gone barking mad.”

Board of Trustees Chairman Guy H. Smith III brought greetings from the Board of Trustees, and Alumni Association President Steve Southwell of Rock Hill inducted the graduates into the Alumni Association, saying Erskine is “a lifelong inspiration to its graduates.”

Senior Class President Patrick Martin of York responded to the induction and presented the class gift, a donation to be used to set up a swing near the Grier monument on the campus.

Dr. Randall T. Ruble, president of Erskine College, welcomed students and their families and thanked the graduates for their support of him since his recent appointment.

Executive Vice President and Dean of the College Dr. Donald Weatherman read the names of more than 130 graduating students and joined with Ruble in congratulating them. An honorary doctor of humane letters degree was conferred on alumnus and longtime supporter Joe

of Buena Vista, Colo., and an honorary doctor of divinity degree was conferred on

L. Carson of Due West, also an alumnus.

Black, who with his wife Kathy served as co-chair of the Gold Campaign, was praised for his service to the business community and to Erskine. Lee Logan of Due West, who retired last year as vice president for development and was director of the Gold Campaign, presented Black for his degree.

Carson, who served as president of Erskine College and Seminary for seven years and has begun mission work teaching in seminaries overseas, was recognized for his service to Erskine and the ARP Church. He was presented for the degree by Greenwood attorney William Patrick, former chairman of the Board of Trustees.

The Rev. John Kimmons Jr. delivered the commencement sermon, titled, “The Great Omission — It’s All About Relationships.”

Kimmons, director of evangelism and care for Outreach North America, is an Erskine College alumnus. After graduating from Erskine in 1967 in elementary education, Kimmons went to the University of Georgia and earned a master’s degree.

It was also at Georgia, Kimmons told the graduates, that he entered into a relationship with Jesus Christ and his life “hasn’t been the same since.”

Kimmons used as his scripture reference Matthew 28:16-20, which includes Jesus’ last words to the disciples: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Kimmons said those words, known as “The Great Commission” revolved around one thing — “relationships.”

Kimmons said God sent His Son to give us the opportunity to have a relationship with Him. Further, he said, “God makes us His messengers,” to spread the word about Jesus from our neighborhoods to foreign lands.

“It begins with Jesus, it ends with Jesus,” Kimmons said. “It’s all about Jesus.”

There are four components to “The Great Commission,” Kimmons said.

Those components are “move out” (“go”), “make disciples,” “mark them” (“baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”) and “maturing them” (“teaching them”).

Some think evangelism is an event, Kimmons said, but “It’s a process.”

Kimmons spoke about people he had come in contact with over the years, some who have come to know Christ and some who haven’t.

“Are you attracting the opposition?” he asked the graduates. “Are you attracting people who don’t care about Jesus?”

The speaker admonished the group to love Jesus and God’s Word, and to pray each day that God will allow them to encounter people from all walks of life with His love. “We need to love people in Jesus’ name,” he said.

The Rev. L. Calvin Draffin, pastor of Due West ARP, gave the invo-

cation, and Erskine College and Seminary President Dr. Randall T. Ruble welcomed those in attendance.

Board Chairman Guy H. Smith III brought greetings from the Erskine College and Seminary Board of Trustees and that was followed by a vocal solo, “O Jesus, I Have Promised,” from tenor T.J. Ellis of Donalds, an Erskine College alumnus.

Erskine Seminary Dean Dr. Robert W. Bell presided over the presentation of awards to students.

The Zondervan Publishing House Award in Biblical Greek was given to Luke William Brodine and the Zondervan Publishing House Award in Biblical Hebrew went to Julia Lynn Whitman Berrios.

The Bruce G. Pierce Award for Christian Leadership was given to Charles Elliott Broome; the Arelene Leola Hoyt Culver Award in Hebrew was given to Ervin Roderick Elledge; and the Robert Duncan Culver Award in Systematic Theology was given to Stephen Aaron Meadows. The Ray A. King Award for Excellence in Church History went to Matthew James Gore and John Ray Van Wyk.

The 2007 Chalice Press Book Awards were given to Cheri Lee Godwin and Matthew Charles Waldron.

The Interpretation Journal Award recipients were Carol Dianne Allison, Charles Elliott Broome, Mary L. Johnson and Edward Conway Rees IV.

Student Body Association officers Stephen Aaron Meadows, president, William Langley Barron, vice president, Vicki Patrice Scott, secretary, Mollie Louise Driscoll, treasurer, and Luke William Brodine, Graduate Life Council chairman, were recognized.

The Leon McDill Allison Award for Excellence in Teaching was given to John Montgomery Bell Professor of New Testament Dr. Loyd Melton, who also serves as director of the Doctor of Ministry program.

Ruble conferred the degrees on the candidates, who were presented by Dean of the Seminary Dr. Robert W. Bell, and Erskine College and Seminary Alumni Association President Steve S. Southwell inducted the Class of 2007 into the organization.

Student Body President Stephen Aaron Meadows gave the student response and presented the senior gift to Seminary Registrar Sherry Martin in honor of her service and in memory of her daughter.

Kimmons was presented for the honorary Doctor of Divinity degree by the Rev. H. Neely Gaston, executive vice president of Erskine Theological Seminary, who read the citation.

Fifth annual Drummond Awards Banquet celebrates accomplishments

The fifth annual Drummond Center Awards Banquet April 24 in Columbia turned out to be as much about the inspiration as the honoree.

Spartanburg Mayor Bill Barnet was presented this year’s award, but emphasized why the honor was particularly special to him –because it connected him with State Sen. John Drummond, for whom the center was named to promote the ideal of perpetuating statesmanship in South Carolina.

“I am honored to find my name aligned in this way with yours,” Barnet said to Drummond, who was among those in attendance.

The Drummond Award winner said that he is “the son of a different place,” having been raised in upstate New York. He came to South Carolina when his family’s company expanded to the state.

He shared the award with his parents, wife Valerie and children John, Will and Becca. “My wife and children are my life, and they define my hopes for a world that we all work to sustain and improve,” Barnet said.

Barnet, who spent a great deal of time helping to reform education in South Carolina, said, “I do not know all the answers. I will continue to seek to work with others, like you, to find those answers; but this I do know: education is the key.”

He encouraged those gathered to focus more on working together to achieve a common goal – making South Carolina a better place and an inclusive place – and less on finding fault.

Barnet accepted the award with a “deep sense of humility” and said it is “affirmation of my passion for our community.”

In her introduction of the award winner, Drummond Center Board Chair Paula Harper Bethea, who presided over the evening’s events, called Barnet “a gentleman, a gentle man and a gentle giant.”

“Bill’s influence is seen all over our state,” she said. “Bill Barnet always does what is right. Few private citizens have championed the cause of education as he has. What a difference he makes in our little corner of the world.”

Keynote speaker was Darla Moore, vice president of Rainwater Inc. and founder and chair of the Palmetto Institute, a nonprofit think tank aimed at bolstering per capita income in South Carolina.

Moore was also quick to shine the spotlight on Drummond.

Moore said that with his 40 years of service in the State Senate, Drummond is “truly the public’s servant.”

The speaker recalled an occasion in May 1998 when she gave a selfdescribed “blunt speech” before the State Senate about the poor condition of the state and the General Assembly’s role in it. The speech was entitled “Permanent State of Disrepair.”

Moore said Drummond came to her after the speech and said, “I have been waiting for someone to make those remarks from the Senate podium for a long time. Thank you.”

Addressing Drummond, Moore continued, “You’re my hero and as always, I am honored to be in your presence. Thank you for what you have done for South Carolina.”

Moore said that since her speech in 1998, she has learned a lot more about the people of South Carolina – their problems, needs, fears, but most importantly, their dreams and hopes. She said she’s also learned about the state’s residents’ capacity for change for the better if given direction, guidance and encouragement by capable leadership.

“Much progress has been made,” she said. “Slowly, painfully, and with many distractions, our educational attainment is improving.”

Moore said the state cannot lay all of its problems on the doorstep of the General Assembly. “We will fail if the private sector doesn’t help government find solutions to our problems,” she said.

The best way to have a good partnership with government, Moore said, is to elect good people to public office.

Also at the banquet, Erskine President Dr. Randall T. Ruble, in a significant moment for Erskine College and the Drummond Center, announced the creation of the Grady L. Patterson Jr. Chair in Politics. Patterson, the longtime state treasurer from Calhoun Falls in Abbeville County, was represented by his family because of ill health.

The Inez Tenenbaum Essay Award was presented to Eric Ellenbogen, an eighth grader at Riverside Middle School in Greer, and his teacher, Gail Denton.

Dr. Jay West, executive director of the Drummond Center and Erskine vice president for institutional advancement, told the gathering that a conference center would soon be constructed on Lake Russell, thanks to the generosity of U.S. Land.

Erskine students

explore NYC, Hawaii

Erskine College professors Dr. Brad Christie and Shannon Jeffreys led a travel course to New York during Winter Term this year, while Dr. Stefanie Baker led one to Hawaii. Whether they spent their time touring museums and galleries or exploring Pacific islands, students brought home with them some unforgettable experiences.

Before traveling to New York, students were required to conduct research about the city, becoming familiar with its layout and studying bus and train routes. Each class member was required to give a presentation on some aspect of the city, and they continued their learning experience once they arrived there.

Participants in the Hawaii travel course prepared a 15-minute PowerPoint presentation and were also required to keep an educational journal.

For junior Elise Eoute, spending time in Hawaii has made a difference in the way she looks at the world. “It taught me to remember that beauty is all around me,” she said. “Yes, everyone thinks Hawaii is beautiful, but it reminded me that there is beauty where I live too — I just take it for granted.”

Practical skills as well as high culture were part of the New York course. “I learned to use public transportation, learned a ton about opera and its production, and learned to really appreciate all sorts of art,” junior Bethany Barron said.

Longtime professor retires after 42 years

When McDonald-Boswell Professor of History Dr. James Gettys led the procession for the 162nd commencement in May, it marked the end of an era for Erskine College.

Gettys, a 1962 Erskine graduate, joined the faculty in 1965 and never left — that is, until he decided to retire at the end of the most recently completed academic year.

“There are a lot of different reasons,” Gettys said in an interview a couple of weeks before commencement. “I’ll be 67 in August … I’ve got some things I want to do with my wife (Sandra Lockaby ’62) and family.”

The professor said the difficult part of retiring is that he loves teaching and the students he teaches. “You try to think as if you’re 20 years old in order to relate to them,” Gettys said. “I’ve always tried to keep abreast of the things going on in my career field.”

After graduating from Erskine, Gettys earned his master’s and Ph.D. degrees from the University of South Carolina. “I started working on my Ph.D. before I finished my master’s thesis and that took a tremendous amount of time. There was an opening here and I took it.” Dr. James Gettys

Teaching and the philosophy of teaching have changed a great deal over the decades, he said. When Gettys started teaching, he said, there was virtually no technology. Parents’ approach to sending young people to college has also changed through the years.

“It seems to me parents used to send students to college to grow up with little involvement from them,” Gettys said. “In the last five or six years, parents have become more involved in their students’ education. They visit their students, they visit their professors.”

Gettys noted that going through academic struggles can end up being a positive for students in the long run.

Another major change over the years has been what Gettys termed the “professionalization” of higher education.

“When I came to Erskine, professors handled financial aid,” he said. “There were very few people who worked at Erskine outside the faculty.”

Technology exploded at Erskine in the 1990s and Gettys said the institution has been one of the leaders in that area of higher education in South Carolina.

He said technology does require more time spent by professors on teaching and interacting with students.

“It is very, very time consuming,” Gettys said. “But it’s great for out-of-class discussions.”

Gettys said the past 42 years have been a fascinating time to be a history professor.

Asked how he’d like to be remembered, he said, “That I tried to do the best job I could of teaching students — not just information, but a value system and skill sets.”

Students fight malaria with “Nothing But Nets”

It all started when two Erskine biology classes began studying the microscopic organism Plasmodium. This is the parasite that carries the ancient scourge of malaria into the human population via mosquito bites.

As her students learned about the organism that causes malaria, Dr. Mary Lang Edwards thought about the impact of the disease and what might be done about it. She was intrigued by a story in Time magazine about the work of “Nothing But Nets.”

“For only $10, this organization can buy and distribute one net for people to sleep under and reduce their chances of getting bitten by mosquitoes that carry the Plasmodium,” she said. “It seemed to me that it would be an appropriate way for a small village in South Carolina — Due West — to assist a small village in Africa.”

Edwards proposed the project to her classes, and two freshmen, Casey O’Dell of Ware Shoals and Jaimi Goodman of Greenville, volunteered to lead the fund-raising efforts.

““I believe that our Christian commitment should extend beyond a verbal commitment,” Edwards said. “Christian commitment should be an active response that will alleviate some of the difficulties people face in the world.”

For more information about Nothing But Nets, see the organization’s Web site at www. nothingbutnets.net

E.B.K. Scholarship winners announced

Erskine College has announced that David Michael Cook of Charlotte, N.C., and Lauren Britney Files of Bremen, Ga., have been selected as winners of the 2007 E.B. Kennedy Scholarships, two full scholarships covering Erskine College tuition, room, board, and fees.

Cook, son of David and Tina Cook, is a senior at Gaston Christian School, Belmont, N.C., and a member of Woodlawn Baptist Church in Lowell, N.C.

Files, daughter of Tim and Carol Files, is a senior at Bremen High School, Bremen, Ga., and a member of King’s Chapel Presbyterian Church, Carrollton, Ga.

These two E.B. Kennedy Scholarship winners were chosen from among 24 finalists selected from more than 125 semifinalists interviewed in December.

Technology upgrades under way at Erskine

Several technology upgrades are taking place on the Erskine College and Seminary campus that should improve the availability of information.

Bobby Clarke, director of information technology, says there are three projects in progress, the most important of which is the upgrade to the student information system.

That system is used by the institution to track grades, transcripts, financial aid, admissions, student billing, housing, parking permits and tickets, he said.

The system upgrade will also benefit the department of advancement, which includes development and alumni. “A module in this system will allow alumni and development to use this system as well,” Clarke said. “It will allow our alumni to have more Web-based interaction.”

Another project the department is working on is development of a new institutional calendar system. “It is a whole new commercial system, unlike the current system written by (former dean for learning and technology) Dr. Bill Junkin,” Clarke said. “It has served us well, but now we’re moving to event management systems from a company out of Colorado.”

Clarke said the new system would allow the institution to better centralize the management of its resources. He expects the system will be in place by fall.

The third upgrade under way is one that has been in the trial phase since last summer. “We want to use electronic or digital signs around campus to communicate with visitors, prospective students and most importantly, our current students,” Clarke said.

More digital signs are being planned for and deployed around campus.

“There are several things we hope it will provide,” Clarke said. “We hope it will provide students with an attractive yet unobtrusive way to make announcements to the student body.”

Clarke said the institutional calendar and digital signs would work hand in hand, since the events entered into the calendar will automatically feed into the signs.

Athle tics

Erskine athletic teams show promise in 2006-07

The Erskine College athletic program has high hopes for the future after the showing of the winter and spring sports teams in 2006-07.

The women’s tennis team captured most of the headlines with its third straight conference regular season and tournament crowns, but the men’s and women’s basketball teams, baseball, softball and men’s tennis teams were competitive and showed glimpses of what the future could hold.

Head men’s basketball coach Mark Peeler’s squad compiled a 14-15 record. The team was led by senior Craig Williams, who earned second team All-CVAC honors and was the team’s leading scorer. He ranked nationally in field goal percentage and rebounding. Freshman Brandon Wright ranked nationally in 3-point field goals made per game and 3-point field goal percentage and was Erskine’s second leading scorer.

The season was highlighted by a 63-62 win at Lander, a victory at home over Pfeiffer and a CVAC tournament first round rout of Anderson.

The women’s basketball team, coached by Maggie Peeler, struggled this past season after winning 17 games each of the past two years.

A glimpse of a successful future was seen in the play of freshmen Audrey Timmerman and Mary Ann Lanford, both of whom started a majority of games this past season. Timmerman was the team’s leading scorer.

Head baseball coach Kevin Nichols found himself in a different position this past spring, as the Fleet experienced injuries and adversity from the outset after having set a school mark

for wins with 42 in 2006.

The team’s top two pitchers were lost to season-ending injuries and its starting third baseman went down with a shoulder injury.

Erskine was able to bounce back and won its last eight games in February to get back on track. The Fleet was able to recover and finish fourth in conference play, winning 36 games.

Two players excelled at the national level. Senior Jake Williams broke the NCAA mark for saves in a career, while senior shortstop Shelton Cisson broke the NCAA Division II career hits record and tied the career doubles record.

Williams and outfielder Bryan Fogle were All-CVAC first team picks, while four players — Cisson, second baseman Chas Anthony, catcher Ryan Price and pitcher William Buzhardt — made the All-CVAC second team.

Adversity was the watchword for the Erskine softball team, coached by Alleen Hawkins. Injuries and illnesses played a big role in the squad’s season, but the team never quit and played through pain and sickness.

Erskine was able to garner several wins against Peach Belt Conference schools, providing a glimpse of the team’s potential.

The men’s tennis team, coached by Vardon Cox, opened 2007 with seven freshmen and two juniors.

The Fleet played a competitive schedule made up of many of the top teams in NCAA Division I and Division II. Despite their youth and inexperience, the team represented Erskine and themselves very well, Cox said, and should be improved next year.

Erskine College to add four new intercollegiate sports

Erskine College Director of Athletics Mark Peeler has announced three new intercollegiate sports will be offered by the institution — women’s lacrosse, and men’s and women’s golf — beginning in fall 2008.

A fourth new intercollegiate sport — volleyball — will be added in fall 2009.

Erskine currently offers 10 intercollegiate sports competing at the NCAA Division II level— men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball and men’s and women’s tennis.

“The addition of these sports is going to make all of our other programs much better,” Peeler said. “Part of the deal is that we’re going to fund these new sports at the level they should be funded from the outset, and we’ll also fund the other sports better.”

Peeler said Erskine offers the fewest sports of any member of Conference Carolinas (formerly the Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference until June 1).

Men’s golf is a returnee to Erskine College athletic offerings, as is volleyball, but women’s golf and women’s lacrosse are new horizons for the institution.

This past year, women’s lacrosse was offered by six CVAC members — Limestone, Pfeiffer, Queens, Belmont Abbey, St. Andrews and LeesMcRae.

“Women’s lacrosse is the fastest emerging high school sport on the Eastern seaboard,” Peeler said.

He said Erskine would like to have a women’s lacrosse coach on board by Sept. 1 of this year, while full-time coaches for golf and volleyball should be hired by September 2008.

Men’s golf was dropped in 1996, but Peeler said golf is a “natural fit” for Erskine.

Volleyball was also dropped in 1996.

Erskine College and Seminary President Dr. Randall T. Ruble said the move is student-driven.

Ruble, who took office in October of last year, said one of the first things he heard from students was the desire for a bigger variety of sports.

“They said they wanted golf and volleyball,” he said. “On one side, we’re responding to a need. Alumni let it be known that they thought we needed lacrosse.”

The Erskine president stressed that no money is being taken away from other sports to fund the new sports.

“The funding for people to coach golf and lacrosse has come from outside the budget,” Ruble said. “We’ve raised that money.”

He said he is concerned about growing the student body and has determined this will help increase enrollment.

“If it works out like I want it to, we should be able to recruit at least 20 lacrosse players and 15 to 20 for women’s golf and volleyball,” Ruble said. “Forty students will make a difference for this institution.”

Ellen Dawson named Jake Todd Award winner at Erskine athletic banquet

Ellen Dawson named Jake Todd Award winner at Erskine College athletic banquet

Women’s tennis team player Ellen Dawson was given the Jake Todd Award, the highest honor an Erskine College student-athlete can receive, at this year’s athletic department banquet.

The award is named for Coach Jake Todd, who served Erskine athletics from 1926-41. He coached freshman teams for two years, and then in 1928 became the head football, basketball and baseball coach. The award, established in 1969, recognizes outstanding leadership, character, sportsmanship, academic achievement and athletic ability.

Dawson is the second straight women’s tennis player to win the Jake Todd Award, following Chrissy Taylor, who won the award last year.

The women’s tennis team, 21-4, again was the most successful Erskine team in 2006-07. The Lady Fleet qualified for the NCAA Division II tournament and won their third straight Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference regular season and tournament titles, while the baseball team won 36 games.

Director of Athletics, Men’s Basketball and Men’s Cross Country Coach Mark Peeler, Women’s Tennis Coach Calhoun Parr, Maggie Peeler (women’s basketball and women’s cross country), Kevin Nichols (baseball), Alleen Hawkins (softball), Warren Turner (men’s soccer) Serge Lipovetsky (women’s soccer), and Vardon Cox (men’s tennis) recognized their teams and rewarded their achievements.

A tale of three Championships

Erskine College women’s tennis coach Calhoun Parr is proud of his team, and for good reason.

The Lady Fleet recently won a third straight Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference championship this past season — both regular season and tournament in all three instances — and Parr is optimistic that the streak will continue next year.

Not that the team, despite all its success, did not experience adversity, Parr said.

“About midway through the season, we had a bad match against Augusta State,” he said. “I discovered the players were under a lot of pressure. We had several team meetings to discuss that pressure and it was making them tight. It was important to address it for us to perform well.”

There were signs that the team was “marked” during tournaments last fall. “We were amazed how many teams from other conference schools were pulling against us,” the coach said.

Parr said the pressure was not as intense during the team’s second championship run, but mounted this past season, as Erskine started the year with a 25-match conference winning streak. The team ended the year with its winning streak intact at 38 matches.

Obviously, the team was able to overcome the adversity of being a “marked” team, becoming perhaps the first team in Erskine history to register a 3-peat.

“I pray a lot about the players I recruit and I’m blessed to coach this team,” Parr said. “God has definitely put this team together.”

The principles under which the team operates are key to the Lady Fleet’s success, the coach said.

The principles are: communication; trust and respect; collective responsibility (win and lose as a team); care (express it in words and believe in each other); and a person does not become whole until they believe in and become part of something bigger than themselves.

Another piece in the championship puzzle is solid leadership and that continued this year with Ellen Dawson and Katie Holmes.

“No group or team will ever exceed the level of commitment of its leadership,” Parr said.

That level of commitment resulted in a 21-4 mark this past season, 10-0 in CVAC play, and a third straight berth in the NCAA Division II Regional.

Parr said the team’s strength this year was in doubles play. In 30 conference matches during the regular season, the Lady Fleet won 29 of them. In the conference tournament, doubles teams continued to shine, winning 9 out of 10 matches.

The team loses four seniors to graduation who have been an integral part of the championship run — Ellen Dawson, Kimmons Kiser, Julie Mages and Miroslava Stojkovic.

Two-time CVAC Player of the Year Jennifer Gennaoui does return, however, along with other key, experienced players, including Katie Holmes, Jenna Tudor, and AllCVAC second team performer Kacie Knox.

Parr has recruited what he believes is his best crop of freshmen for next year.

“We have signed three nationally ranked players in Brandi Cordell (Soddy Daisy, Tenn.), Mary Claire Rollins (Bambridge, Ga.) and Britton Bignon (Athens, Ga.),” he said. Cordell is a four-star recruit according to the National Recruiting Service and is ranked 150th in the nation. Rollins, a left-handed player, and Bignon, the number one player on her Georgia high school championship team, are both twostar recruits.

Gennaoui, who Parr says may be the best women’s tennis player in Erskine history, was a two-star recruit, the coach said.

“We focus on team goals,” Parr said. “The team has five principles we commit ourselves to – Coach K’s (Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski) ‘Five-Finger Rule.’”

Alumni Day2007

Thomas W. Myers receives distinguished service award; class reunions, Red Eye Run highlight Alumni Weekend

Thomas W. Myers of Summerville received the Alumni Distinguished Service Award Saturday, April 28, as part of Alumni Weekend 2007 festivities at Erskine College and Seminary. Other alumni and friends were also recognized during an Alumni Association meeting conducted by outgoing Alumni Association President Westley McAllister ‘89.

dotes about Erskine’s recently inaugurated president, a member of her own Class of 1958.

Hunter received the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award. A member of the Army Air Corps during World War II, he flew combat missions over Japan, remained in the reserves, and retired as a lieutenant colonel in 1980.

President-elect Steve Southwell ‘80 presented the award to Myers, calling the 1956 graduate “a man and a gentleman we are proud to call an Erskine man.”

Myers’ 33-year career with Prudential was marked by many awards and honors, including qualifying 23 times for the “Hall of Honor.” He then started his own insurance company, representing Prudential and 15 other companies.

Active in church and civic leadership, Myers has served Erskine as a member of the Board of Trustees, the Board of Counselors, the Alumni Board, and a Deferred Gifts Advisory Board. He has served as an E.B. Kennedy interviewer and as a class agent, chapter president, and Annual Fund volunteer. He and wife Melissa, the parents of two children, are members of Summerville Presbyterian Church, where he has served as elder, deacon and chairman of the finance committee.

“It’s marvelous to be recognized for what has been a pleasure,” Myers said. “Association with Erskine has been a pleasure.”

Erskine President Dr. Randall T. Ruble gave an update on progress put in motion by the completion of the Gold Campaign, which surpassed its $36.8 million goal by raising $40 million. “I do think we’re moving in the right direction, and I’m thankful to God that so much is being done,” he said. “I don’t take credit for it — it’s a team effort.”

This year’s Sullivan Award winners were Dr. Keller Cushing Freeman, a 1958 graduate from Greenville, and John M. Hunter Sr. of Aiken, a member of the Class of 1942. Given by the New York Southern Society to a man and woman who have “shown a spirit of love for and helpfulness to their fellow human beings,” the awards were presented by Erskine College Executive Vice President and Dean Dr. Donald Weatherman.

Freeman received the Mary Mildred Sullivan Award. She began her studies at Radcliffe College, transferring to Erskine when she married David Freeman, now a partner in the Greenville firm of Wyche, Burgess, Freeman. At Erskine, she earned the A.B. degree in history and philosophy, graduating magna cum laude. A Woodrow Wilson Fellow in 1960-61, she received the Ph.D. degree in history from the University of Georgia in 1963 and has served as a college instructor. A published writer of poems, essays, and short fiction, she is co-founder of the Emrys Foundation, dedicated to the promotion and support of women and minorities in the arts, as well as founder and co-editor of the literary magazines Emrys Journal and Young Emrys.

Freeman expressed appreciation for the award and then jokingly offered to meet in Moffatt Dining Hall with anyone who wished to hear anec-

As an Erskine student, he played football and sang in the Choraleers. Later, he became part owner of Lyon, Croff, Weeks and Hunter Insurance Agency in Aiken. His civic activities include service on insurance advisory boards and leadership with the Red Cross, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, and the Board of Visitors at the Medical University of South Carolina. He still serves as primary caregiver to a 97-year-old neighbor.

Hunter’s history of service to Erskine includes work on the Alumni Board and the Board of Counselors and as a Living Endowment Co-Chair and Chapter Chair. He and wife Mary received the Alumni Distinguished Service Award in 1992. “I appreciate this very much, and I’ll do what I can to continue,” he said.

The Outstanding Young Alumni Award, given to a recent graduate (within 15 years) who has begun making significant achievements in the workplace, church and community, was presented to Dr. Christie Bankes Mina ’91, a neurosurgeon in Greenville who helped pioneer in the Upstate the use of a surgical technique called percutaneous spinal fusion.

Mina earned her M.D. degree from the University of South Carolina in Charleston in 1995 and completed a neurosurgical residency at the University of Tennessee in Memphis in 2001. Her hospital appointments are at St. Francis in Greenville and Anderson Area Medical Center in Anderson. She is married to Dr. Al Mina, a family physician, and they are the parents of one son.

“I’m so grateful to Erskine for starting me out on a long and endlessly fascinating road,” Mina said.

Named honorary alumni this year were John Henry “Junior” McClain of Greenwood, director of plant operations and maintenance at Erskine, and Dr. Robert W. Todd of Abbeville, a physician who serves as an adjunct professor at Erskine Seminary Vice President for Advancement Ralph Patterson, who formerly served as director of alumni affairs and annual giving, presented certificates to McClain and Todd.

McClain has worked at Erskine since 1982. “Whatever you see on this campus, Junior McClain either built it, fixed it, painted it, or planted it,” Patterson said. “If he didn’t do it, then he told someone to do it.”

McClain said people often ask him why he does not leave Erskine to go into private construction work. “Erskine gets into your blood,” he said. “I love Erskine.”

Todd, a family physician who is now medical director of Hospice of the Piedmont in Greenwood, spent three years as a Presbyterian minister before entering medical school. One of the nation’s first three recipients of a Fellowship in Physician Ethics and Professionalism from the American Medical Association, he teaches a medical ethics course at Erskine Seminary and has served an E.B. Kennedy interviewer, on the Board of Counselors, and on the Strategic Planning Committee.

“I’ve felt part of the Erskine community for a number of years, and I’m happy that this makes it official,” Todd said.

Erskine Service Award winners named this year are Steven Cover and Lauren Mullinax Cover ’91 of Snellville, Ga., and Dr. Robert S. Clarke Jr. ’81 (honorary) and Beth Sloan Clarke ’47.

Steven Cover worked for Microsoft from 1994-2005. The Covers have helped Erskine secure equipment from Microsoft through that company’s programs. “We were able to donate software at cost,” Lauren Cover explained. “I encourage you to check into matching programs at your place of work.”

She said she and her husband were able to make a much larger contribution to Erskine with the aid of such a program than they would have been able to do on their own. “It was like playing Santa Claus,” she said.

Dr. Robert Clarke, a veteran of World War II and graduate of the University of South Carolina, earned his medical degree at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. He practiced medicine in Due West, then in West Virginia and Kentucky. He was director of student health services at Clemson University and returned to Due West to serve as a family physician at Erskine and in surrounding areas. He received an honorary doctorate from Erskine in 1981.

Beth Clarke played tennis and sang in the chorus while a student at Erskine, majoring in chemistry. She has served as president of the Flying Fleet Club, chair of the Flying Fleet campaign, member of the Board of Counselors, and an Annual Fund volunteer. She was inducted into the Flying Fleet Hall of Fame in 1995.

Beth Clarke said her husband was unable to attend the meeting, but expressed her thanks on his behalf. “We deeply appreciate this award. We need to thank Erskine for all it has done for us,” she said.

Outgoing Alumni Board members honored were Mildred Andrews Cunningham ’59; R. Scott Fleming ’77; Ann Clarke Judd ’74; Diana Palecek ’89; Darrin C. Sanders ’94; and Richard G. Taylor Jr. ’69.

A presentation of the Class of 1957 Scholarship was made by Class Representative James E. Jones, who said that in offering the $20,880 raised by its members, his class extends its gratitude to Erskine on the occasion of its 50th year reunion.

Annual Fund Co-Chair Eleanor C. Richardson ’59 offered a report on the 2006-07 Annual Fund, which has raised more than $1.5 million of this year’s $1.8 million goal.

Richardson served as co-chair with Erskine President Dr. Randall T. Ruble, who agreed to stay on as co-chair after being appointed president last year, and both were recognized for their efforts. She noted that back in 19992000 the Annual Fund raised a record $750,000. “In seven years we have more than doubled that figure,” she said. “Let’s set a big record this year.”

McAllister, who delivered his closing remarks as president, also conducted an Alumni Association Board of Directors election. “Erskine changed my life, and has continued to change my life,” he said.

Chosen as new board members were Dot Simpson Wise ’39 of Greenwood; Eleanor Chesnut Richardson ’59 of Flat Rock, N.C.; Frances Taylor Ramsey ’61 of Bonita Springs, Fla.; Jane Shelton Dale ’73 of Camden, Ala.; Effie Grier Jordan ’70 of Due West; and Beverly Rice McAdams ’86 of Anderson.

After the passing of the gavel from McAllister to President-Elect Steve Southwell and the singing of the Alma Mater, a closing prayer was offered by Phillip Bunch, president of the Student Christian Association at Erskine College.

Also participating in the program were the Erskine Choraleers, directed by Assistant Professor Shannon Jeffreys, who opened the meeting with a short concert, and Catherine Tolbert, outgoing vice president of the Student Government Association, who gave the opening prayer.

Activities Friday night included the Class of 1957’s 50th reunion dinner and several other reunion parties.

Saturday’s events started with the 15th annual Red Eye Run. Winners for the 5-kilometer (3-mile) race were lead runner Chance Ellison, a sophomore from Belton, whose time was 17:16, and freshman Brandon Wright of Goose Creek who came in at 19:24. Leading the women were first-place runner Erin English of Athens, Ga., a member of the Class of 2002, at 20:51, followed by Maggie Peeler, Erskine’s women’s basketball coach, at 21:24.

A number of classes gathered for reunions Saturday. Other activities included class meetings, “Stories by the Student Cabin with Dr. Martha Macdonald,” alumni baseball, softball and soccer games, and a 50th anniversary celebration for the Athenian Literary Society.

The education and business departments both hosted drop-ins to spotlight their programs.

Alumni News

Patterson elevated to vice president for advancement

It’s been a busy spring for new Erskine College Vice President for Advancement Ralph Patterson.

Formerly director of annual giving and alumni affairs, Patterson was named to his new post by Erskine College and Seminary President Dr. Randall T. Ruble in April.

Ruble made the announcement on his inauguration day – a day that also saw Patterson elected mayor of Due West. Balancing the two new jobs may be a challenge, but Patterson is up for it.

“My job is simply to grow the endowment,” he said. “Under that umbrella, everybody is part of this — friend-raising, fund-raising, raising awareness of the importance of giving through our publications, and timely acknowledgement of gifts.”

One of the most important things that will happen in the office early on is the hiring of as many as three new staff positions.

“We have a great opportunity under Dr. Ruble’s leadership to move development forward,” Patterson said. “A lot of groundwork has been done by (retired vice president for development) Lee Logan and gifts we receive down the road will be the result of his good work.”

Hiring additional staff people will allow Erskine to make contact with more potential donors, Patterson said. “As all of us get out and work, our number one goal is to grow the endowment,” he said.

Patterson served as Erskine’s head men’s basketball coach in the 1990s, worked for a few years in broadcasting, then returned as alumni director in 2003.

“You never know what a new day will bring,” he said. “The bottom line is I’m going to embrace the opportunity Dr. Ruble has given me and build the best staff we can.”

The newest vice president said this is a “critical time” for the institu-

tion with a new president and the completion of the most successful capital campaign in Erskine’s history. “There’s a lot of work yet to be done,” Patterson said.

He said his first priority was to complete the Annual Fund campaign “in style” by June 30 and assist Ruble in his goal of achieving financial stability for the institution.

His next priority is hiring and organizing the staff. Westley McAllister has been hired as director of development and begins work July 1. The new director of annual giving and alumni affairs, Buddy Ferguson, started work June 11.

Both of the new hires are Erskine graduates – Ferguson finished in 1982, and McAllister is a member of the class of 1989. “I want just as many Erskine people as possible in the trenches,” Patterson said.

He admits that the timing of his promotion, the mayoral election, Ruble’s inauguration, and Alumni Weekend made life a little more hectic than he and his family might have liked, but he’s excited about the challenges ahead and his continued affiliation with an institution and community his family has grown to love.

“The people make the place and if we didn’t like it here we would have been gone a long time ago,” Patterson said. “Erskine is a special place – there’s not another place like it.”

Patterson’s wife, Lynn, teaches first grade at Cherokee Trail Elementary. Oldest son Reggie, 17, will be a senior next fall at Dixie High School, while Ricky, 14, is a rising sophomore.

Patterson has no illusions about his importance at Erskine.

“This is an important job — like all jobs at Erskine,” he said. “One thing

I’m 100 percent sure of, all jobs are important here, not just on the front lines but behind the scenes.”

Alumnus named new director of alumni affairs, annual giving

William L. “Buddy”

Ferguson took over Monday, June 11, as the new director of alumni affairs and annual giving for Erskine College.

Ferguson, who grew up in Gastonia, N.C., received a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Erskine in 1982. After working for a year in the admissions office here, Ferguson embarked on a 24-year teaching career in Gaston County, teaching middle school math, serving as athletic director at various times and coaching football and soccer.

He has not allowed distance to keep him from serving his alma mater, having been a member of the Alumni Board and the Parent Association Council, where he has served with his wife, Kim.

The Fergusons are the parents of two children, Megan and Will, both students at Erskine.

Ferguson said he applied for the alumni job for several reasons.

“I continue to believe in and support the ideals set forth by Erskine College,” he said. “After completing my career in education, I maintain a high level of energy and truly feel that my work at Erskine will be both challenging and rewarding.”

The new director’s top priority coming in was to continue efforts toward completing a successful 2006-07 Annual Fund campaign.

Ferguson said it will be a chal-

lenge to follow the work done by former director Ralph Patterson, but he has several goals already in mind.

The first is to maintain and expand open communication with alumni, students and the college community, he said. “We sincerely appreciate the work and generosity of our alumni and want to let them know,” Ferguson said.

Second, he wants to increase the percentage of givers to the Annual Fund. “Many people have been longtime supporters while others have not yet started a consistent pattern of participation,” Ferguson said. “We need to increase those percentages to attract support from corporations and matching grants.”

In working toward raising donor percentages, he said, “It is crucial that recent graduates be shown how important they are in support of the Annual Fund. It is so easy to begin support when you still have the personal contact with students who are currently on campus.”

Finally, Ferguson said increasing unrestricted giving is a large goal of the Annual Fund. “This money goes directly to students in the form of scholarship money,” he said. “We have the responsibility to use the resources we have been blessed with to help these deserving students.”

Ferguson said he and his wife, an elementary reading specialist, plan to move to Due West.

Due West Retirement Center says goodbye to longtime director, Erskine alumnus

Due West Retirement Center longtime director and Erskine alumnus Paul Bell left after 12 years to become director of administrative services at the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church Center in Greenville. Bell replaces the retiring Ed Hogan, a “very successful, knowledgeable, extremely well-respected man who has served our denomination for 37 years.”

Bell said he is excited about his new role and “the opportunity to serve the Lord in this capacity.”

His wife Jeanne Neely Bell ’92 is director of supplemental instruction and an adjunct professor of sociology at the college. The Bells have one son, John Paul, and a daughter, Neely.

They will continue to live in Due West for now.

Bell left the retirement center with mixed emotions. “The residents and staff of the retire-

ment center are some of the most wonderful people I have ever known and I am going to miss them tremendously,” Bell said.

Bell said that he considers his story to be one of divine intervention.

DWRC was being planned and constructed while he was an Erskine student and later an admissions counselor for the college. He then worked for several years as a speech-language pathologist, with a focus on adult populations.

“I was somewhat familiar with the organization and knew a number of its residents years before I ever thought about working there,” he said.

Bob Craig, also an Erskine alumnus, resigned as administrator of the center at the end of 1994 and Bell applied, beginning the process that led to his selection as Craig’s replacement.

And the rest, as they say, is history…and a new beginning.

Southwell new Alumni Association president

Steve Southwell of Rock Hill took the helm of the Erskine College Alumni Association during Alumni Weekend at the college on April 27-28.

A 1980 graduate of Erskine, Southwell took the gavel from Westley McAllister of Mt. Carmel as president of the organization.

“I’m very pleased to be the new president of the Alumni Association,” Southwell said. “Erskine is one of the top private Christian liberal arts colleges in the country, and representing it as the president of the alumni association is a great honor.”

Southwell is senior vice president of Arthur State Bank in Rock Hill.

“I would like to thank my employer Arthur State Bank. Without their support, I would not be able to fulfill my duties as president of the alumni association,” he said. “Arthur State Bank truly realizes the importance of giving back to your school.”

Southwell also thanked McAllister for his leadership the past two years and said that he is

looking forward to working with Buddy Ferguson, recently named the new alumni director.

“I have known Buddy since our Erskine student days,” Southwell said. “Buddy brings valuable knowledge to his new position not to mention his devoted work ethic and love for the school.”

Southwell is past president of the Flying Fleet Club and chairman of the Erskine College Athletic Committee.

He serves as an elder and congregational chairman for Neely’s Creek ARP Church In Rock Hill.

Southwell is also a member of the Rock Hill Rotary Club.

He has been married to Jane Williams ’84 for 25 years. They have two children, son Rob, 19, and daughter Sally, 15.

Peace Corps takes graduate to Bolivia

By the time Mary Odum graduated from Erskine College in 2003, she had enjoyed life in two small towns — her hometown, Prosperity, which is near Newberry, and her college town, Due West.

She was ready to see something of the larger world, and she took action to accomplish that goal, step by step, winding up as a Peace Corps volunteer on a two-year assignment in Bolivia beginning in the summer of 2006.

Since completing her 11-week training course and passing language, cultural and technical exams, Odum, now designated a volunteer rather than a trainee, has been exploring avenues of service in Sopachuy, Bolivia.

Sopachuy differs from other sites, Odum said, in that there was not a specific project waiting for her. “My main projects will be determined as I work with the mayor’s office,” she explained.

“I am only working with them part time and have the flexibility to pursue any other path in health in my spare time,” she said.

Odum said she has met with the principal of a local high school as well as leaders of several organizations, including a non-profit agency that works with installing or improving water systems; a non-profit agency that is setting up a public library in the town; an after-school and soup kitchen program for children; and a local women’s group.

“All seem promising secondary project possibilities,” Odum said. “I am excited about the freedom to create my own job and am hoping that health education and promotion will become a large part (of it).

“I originally applied to the Peace Corps hoping for a health education position, but have ended up in a better place,” she said.

Alumni Highlights

F Missionary and translator John Taylor Dale, educator and poet Jones Calvin Koonts, historic preservationist Vivienne Dawn Maddox and former Newberry College president Glenn Edward Whitesides were the 2007 inductees into the Academic Hall of Fame May 11. Former Board of Trustees chairman John T. Moore was honored with the Chairman’s Award at the banquet sponsored by the Board of Counselors. The Chairman’s Award is given to someone who has gone above and beyond the call of duty in leadership and support of Erskine College and Seminary.

F Col. Henry Lamar Hunt, a 1965 graduate of Erskine Theological Seminary and retired Army chaplain has been presented with an award for community service, faith and leadership in his native Florida. Hunt was called the “driving force” behind “Operation Stuff the Bus,” a program that serves homeless children. The program has raised more than $200,000 in school supplies, personal hygiene items, basic clothing and monetary donations for the 1,300 identified homeless children of Marion County, Florida, during the past five years.

F Erskine College alumnus Dr. John Kuykendall ’92, son of alumna Mary Elizabeth Kuykendall and the late Professor Emeritus Dr. William H.F. Kuykendall and brother of Assistant Professor of Music Dr. J. Brooks Kuykendall ’97, was honored April 17 in Columbia at a banquet hosted by the South Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities (SCICU). John Kuykendall was one of 20 professors, one from each member institution, who received the 2007 Excellence in Teaching Award. Kuykendall is chairman of the department of history and political science at Charleston Southern University.

Also receiving the 2007 Excellence in Teaching Award was Erskine College Associate Professor of Biology Dr. Stefanie Baker. Executive Vice President and Dean of the College Dr. Donald Weatherman said the SCICU began the Excellence in Teaching Award two years ago, and last year’s recipient from Erskine was Professor of Biology Dr. Mary Lang Edwards.

F Robert Bannan, director of recreation at First Presbyterian Church of Spartanburg and a member of the Erskine College Class of 2004, completed an Ironman competition in Cambridge, Md., Sept. 30, 2006. The Ironman Triathlon includes three events in succession: a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run. Extreme pain and misery can accompany the effort required to be an “Ironman,” but the exhilaration Bannan enjoyed lasted much longer than the pain. He plans to run a marathon each month in 2007.

At least one other Erskine graduate can claim the “Ironman” title. Markus Mittermayr, a 1975 graduate, competed in an Ironman contest in Austria in 2004.

Carving out careers takes patience for alumni couple

Making an impact through Christian service is a way of life for Erskine College alumni Michael Shawn and Amy Ragan Hand of Rock Hill.

Shawn, a member of the Class of 1997, was recently hired by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), now headquartered in Charlotte, N.C. Amy, who graduated in 2000, directs the children’s ministry at Rogers Memorial Associate Reformed Presbyterian (ARP) Church in Rock Hill.

Husband and wife are building on their studies at Erskine as well as on post-Erskine job experiences as they meet their career challenges. Sustaining a strong family life with their 3-year-old son, Michael Shawn Jr., known as “Chip,” they recently moved into a new home.

But it has taken some patience to get to this point.

“I began applying to BGEA about three years ago when they were moving down to Charlotte from Minneapolis, Minnesota,” said Shawn, who previously worked for Wachovia and for Papa John’s. “I knew that I would enjoy the opportunity to work for a ministry that has done so much for so many people.”

Amy began working for Rogers Memorial last March, and she, too, had to take other jobs in the meantime. She describes her current position as “a combination of all the jobs I’ve had since leaving Erskine” and is happy to be working for the church where she and Shawn are active.

“We had not previously been ARP, but because of our years at Erskine, joining an ARP church here felt like coming home,” she said.

Shawn’s work at BGEA can take him to different departments as he is needed, but for now, he said, “I am in the Response Center, which functions as a customer service department.”

“He’s getting to use his psychology degree

and years of working with the public in retail and customer service,” Amy said.

“The average day is filled with calls for both Samaritan’s Purse and BGEA,” Shawn said. “People call about free offers, telecast or crusade information, prayer requests and biblical advice and counseling.”

Shawn is pleased to speak with callers who are considering the claims of the gospel. “On occasion people call to ask about Christianity and accept Christ over the phone,” he said.

At Rogers Memorial, Amy oversees a team of 30 volunteers, and also supervises the nursery, including paid nursery workers. A children’s church ministry, “CrossPoint Kids,” which includes the use of puppets and skits, is an important element of her job.

“It involves a lot of networking and relationship building with the parents and other volunteers,” she said.

Amy said Bible courses at Erskine with Dr. Bill Evans and Dr. Hans Engler “were extremely valuable to give me the Bible background to be able to do this.”

She has also seen the benefits of service activities she undertook during her college years. “The leadership experiences I had with ministries at Erskine such as Students for Life and Habitat for Humanity helped prepare me for leading a team.”

Courses Amy took for her minor, including marriage and family and sociology with Dr. Steve Sniteman and developmental psychology with Dr. Tom Gorry “really helped me deal with understanding family dynamics and child development,” she said.

A fairly regular work schedule for Shawn and flexibility for Amy are having a good effect on Chip, Amy said. “This has been a good change for all of us.”

Music graduate finds niche in New England E

rskine College is represented in New England by a number of alumni. Claire Carr, a music education graduate and recipient of the Isabel Boyd Phillips Music Award, serves as coordinator of education and community programs for the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO).

How did a young woman from Orangeburg wind up so far from home? “When I decided to move to Boston, I was in a place in my life where I was ready to make a change,” Carr explained.

“A friend of mine who worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation suggested that I look into working with children in a non-profit organization,” she said. “I realized that I could work in education programs in a performing arts organization and began a job search in the New England area.”

Although the job she was offered with the Boston Symphony Orchestra was a corporate fund-raising post, Carr decided to take it. That decision turned out to be a good one. “After two years, this position in the education department opened up and I was transferred to my current role as education and community programs coordinator,” she said.

Carr’s current work “actually requires a music education degree,” she said. “I create children’s materials to accompany our Youth and Family Concerts and certain programming at Tanglewood (Music Center) and the content is based on the featured composer or his work.”

Her Erskine education and experience have provided her with a good foundation. “I know that my music history classes and my student teaching experience at Erskine have greatly contributed to my achievements here at the BSO,” she said.

In carrying out many responsibilities, Carr remains energized because she is doing work she enjoys.

Carr is proud of the impact such programs can make on young students. “Our education programs serve 60,000 children each season,” she said.

Leaving the climate of South Carolina to cope with the harsh weather of New England has required a little adjustment. “The most difficult season of the year is spring, because the weather up here stays cold into June!”

She looks forward to visiting the Erskine campus again. “I have been excited to hear about the Memorial Hall expansion and I can’t wait to see the completed renovation,” she said.

“I hold so many memories in the original hall of rehearsals, recitals and late-night cramming sessions during my four years at Erskine.”

His siblings were all active in the Presbyterian Church and one was a missionary in the ARP Church. He served as a full-time professor of Bible and religion at Queens College, Charlotte, N.C. (193844); Presbyterian School of Christian Education, Richmond, Va. (1944-52); Presbyterian College, Clinton (1956-74), where he also served as academic dean (1962-69); and two years after his retirement, at Erskine Theological Seminary. He was the organizing pastor of Presbyterian churches in Charlotte and Greenwood and is the author of a number of books, including “What Presbyterians Believe” and “Caregivers Can Survive.” He is a recipient of the Order of the Palmetto and of numerous other awards. He and his wife of 67 years, Mary Louise Schirmer, now deceased, had three children and a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

the Gold Campaign

Erskine reaches and surpasses campaign goal ClaimingtheGold

Construction

More than $40 million was raised during the recently completed Gold Campaign, meeting and surpassing the $36.8 million goal.

The largest capital fund-raising campaign in the institution’s history came to a close Dec. 31, 2006, and was pushed to a successful finish by gifts during December totaling more than $3.4 million, according to retired vice president for development and Senior Philanthropic Advisor Lee Logan.

A significant part of the December push, Logan said, was the $2 million appraisal of Erskine’s interest in the Drummond Center facility at Lake Russell and the state appropriation toward a political economy professorship.

The overall success of the five-year campaign, he said, is attributable to a number of people, not the least of which were volunteers who headed up the effort, as well as Erskine College and Seminary staff.

“I think it’s been an extraordinary effort that has had a tremendous impact on the students of the institution,” Logan said.

Erskine President Dr. Randall T. Ruble agreed.

“This is another momentous day in the life of Erskine College and Seminary,” he said. “This was the most ambitious capital fund-raising effort in the history of the institution. That the goal was not only met, but also exceeded by several million dollars is a tribute to the generosity of Erskine supporters and those who led the campaign.”

The Gold Campaign addressed a number of areas, including the Annual Fund. Contributors surpassed that $5 million goal, pledging more than $8.6 million.

Construction continues on the centerpiece of the campaign, Memorial Hall, where a music and math addition is being built.

Close to $7.3 million has been pledged for that facility and $5.5 million has been pledged for endowed scholarships for college students.

Pledges totaling more than $4.3 million were contributed toward the Drummond Center and nearly $4.3 million has been pledged to the Seminary for scholarships and professorships.

About $2.8 million has been pledged for athletics. Other areas addressed in the campaign were the Erskine Building, the campus master plan and facilities management.

Groundbreaking took place Nov. 18, 2006, for the $7.5 million Memorial Hall project, the centerpiece of the campaign, that includes renovations for the facility and a music and mathematics building addition. Construction began Nov. 20 and should be completed early in 2008.

A total of six professorships -- four at the college and two at the seminary -- were established, including the first chair in politics, which was named for Abbeville County native and longtime state treasurer Grady L. Patterson Jr.

Alumni and friends of the college and seminary were instrumental in obliterating the $5 million Annual Fund goal, with more than $8.6 million raised in pledges, primarily for scholarships.

Numerous renovations of facilities around campus were provided for, including Camp-Walker Plaza, Lesesne Auditorium, the Chesnut Conference Rooms, Galloway Art Building, Facilities Management Building and McCain Library.

Math?

That’s the conviction of Assistant Professor of Mathematics Dr. Artur (Art) Gorka, perhaps the only Erskine faculty member ever to come to Due West from Poland (by way of Clemson University, where he earned a Ph.D.).

Since joining the faculty in 2004, Gorka spends his time as few tourists would, and he loves it. He says Erskine offers more of the “personal element” than a big school. “You have so much more contact with students,” he said. “I have had some remarkable students just in the short time I have been here.”

Gorka, whose research interests include nonlinear analysis and probablity and statistics, hopes Erskine’s new math facility will become a “center in the local area” for mathematics.

Mathematics is only the first of Gorka’s great loves. “Judo is my passion, apart from mathematics,” he said. “I’ve been practicing it for about 25 years.”

Noting that “judo” means “a gentle way,” Gorka, who regularly teaches a judo class on campus, said for him this applies to life as well. “(Judo) is a martial art, but the philosophy is that you do not attack,” he said.

The bicycle parked in Gorka’s office hints at his love of the outdoors. He enjoys cycling, hiking that includes steep mountains, and even hang gliding (he tried that at Lookout Mountain) to “give myself a break,” as puts it.

He has seen 35 of the 50 states and appreciates America’’s sometimes bewildering diversity, which he began learning about when he asked a Michigan cousin about South Carolina. “Don’t ask me,” she said. “It’s a different country!”

Gorka is doing his best to discover all the “countries” that make up the United States. “Last week I was in Colorado hiking in the Rockies,” he said.

His love of mathematics, fascination with nature and dedication to martial arts began back in Torun, Poland, which claims Copernicus as a native son. There Gorka studied, hiked in the mountains near his home (the Blue Ridge Mountains here are similar, he says) and took up martial arts.

His parents are chemists who encouraged his academic pursuits and study of languages. “I learned English from my mum,” he said, words and accent betraying the British English he acquired. Fluent in Polish, English, German, and Russian, Gorka knows basic French and Spanish and is learning Portuguese.

Reflecting on his time in America, home to native speakers of all those languages, Gorka said, “I like the fact that people are independent in their thinking. People are aware of their freedom, value it and use it to the fullest.”
