DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI BRING HONOR TO THEIR ALMA MATER

A message from the ALUMNI RELATIONS DIRECTOR Dear fellow Alumni, The fall semester is well underway. We’ve welcomed new and returning students to campus, celebrated homecoming, and enjoyed fall break. So many more activities lie ahead and it is wonderful to be part of it all.

As we’ve come to appreciate, Georgetown College has produced thousands of successful alumni over the past 189 years. An integral part of this year’s homecoming festivities included presentation of Distinguished Alumni Awards recognizing four very deserving and talented graduates: Chris Hogan ’93, Melissa J. Hogan, JD ’95, Dr. T.C. Lackey ’97, and Chelsea Clarke ’07. I am

about their accomplishments in this issue of GC Magazine.

Working at Georgetown College these past 13 years and now serving as Director of Alumni Relations I have had the opportunity to meet many students, faculty, staff, coaches, and alumni. There are so many heartwarming encounters.

I invite you to read the wonderful story about how how the women’s soccer team brought joy and encouragement to a high school team that needed a boost early in its school year, thanks to efforts by GC alumna, Deana Mullins Caldwell ’93.

In the past five years, I have seen a new level of alumni engagement for our beloved alma mater, and it has given me a renewed energy as well. Georgetown College has ongoing support from so many graduates and friends. A splendid example is that of Bob and Betty Lykins who continue to demonstrate their affection and dedication. Read their story in this issue, too.

It takes each of us supporting GC every year to ensure that future generations of students enjoy the great Georgetown experience.

Happy reading! Go Tigers!

Dr. Greene announces impending departure aS president Sometimes, five years is more than just five years. Certainly Dr. Greene’s five years at Georgetown College feel that way to many people who love the college, from faculty, staff, and students to alumni and community members. After his arrival in October of 2013, Greene led efforts to clarify and strengthen the College’s mission as a quality Christian institution. During that time period, the College grew enrollment on the undergraduate and graduate levels, expanded academic programs, built endowment, and reduced indebtedness.

Sadly, Dr. Greene’s oversight of the college’s growth will come to a close with the conclusion of the current academic year, as he announced in early September.

In a message to the College’s staff, Dr. Greene stated, ““With every good wish for Georgetown College in the years ahead, personal and family considerations will soon draw me away.”

“Georgetown College has made remarkable progress the past five years under Dr. Greene’s leadership,” said Knox.

“I chose Georgetown College because it was something different for me. I’d never been in Kentucky.

Coming here, I was nervous, but I realized this college is better than expected. Once I got here, I got a proud sense of community. My visit here was one of the best; I would be lost and people would stop to help me. On top of that I would walk around campus and people would just say ‘hi’ to me and greet me. That was something I wasn’t used to, especially being from Columbus, Ohio. I was not used to people really interacting with you if they didn’t know you. One of the main things I love about the college is the care that faculty and professors take to get to know you and to help you in any way they can.”

College who had established a relationship with alumni of the defunct Bishop College in Texas and developed a Bishop Scholars Legacy program at Georgetown. That phone call was what put Georgetown at the top of Spears’ list, he said.

He accepted Dr. Crouch’s invitation to visit campus and was immediately impressed.

“It just felt like home. It felt like I truly belonged at GC,” said Spears, adding that “Mrs. Robbi Barber and the other Bishop Scholars made me feel like this was the place for me.” Robbi Barber is Director of the Bishop Scholars Program.

Spears enrolled, initially with the intent of majoring in marketing. But mid-way through his sophomore year, after working for a local insurance agent as an accounting assistant, he decided to switch to accounting. “I still liked marketing and I took classes that exposed me to it,” he commented, “but I felt being an accountant provided more stability.”

Along with his studies, Spears immersed himself in

HIS GC EXPERIENCE PREPARED THIS BISHOP SCHOLAR FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE It was 2011. Fort Worth, Texas. Kenneth Spears, like many high school students, was looking at colleges, trying to choose the one that would be the best fit and benefit for his future. Imagine his surprise when he received a phone call from the president of a small, liberal arts college located in Georgetown, Kentucky.

“Being called directly by the president of a college definitely stood out to me,” Spears commented via email recently. “It was not something many of my peers could say they experienced.”

The caller was Bill Crouch, thenpresident of Georgetown

campus life. He was a Bishop Scholar, of course, but he was also involved with the Georgetown Activities Council (GAC), Ambassadors of Diversity, and the Strategic Planning Council. He served as a President’s Ambassador, worked in residence life, was a student worker in the Office of Institutional Advancement, and became student representative to the Board of Trustees. He also found time to play JV basketball.

“When I envision a Bishop College Scholar at Georgetown College, Kenneth Spears comes to mind,” said Mrs. Barber.

“Kenneth worked at a level of excellence in and out of the classroom. He prepared himself for every opportunity and that preparation opened many doors for him. He’s a great example of what a Bishop College Scholar at Georgetown College should be.”

All of these involvements really gave him confidence, he said.

“One of the biggest life skills I developed while at GC was the ability to network and really be comfortable talking to anyone. Being a President’s Ambassador and working in the Institutional Advancement office required me to really get out of my shell and talk to any and everybody, which became something of a knack for me.”

After graduating from Georgetown College in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and Communication, Spears enrolled at Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University in Houston, Texas. From there, in May 2018, he earned his Doctor of Jurisprudence degree. He then completed the Texas bar exam in July 2018.

The Bishop Scholars Program was established in 2007 through a unique and distinctive partnership between Georgetown College and the African American alumni pastors of Bishop College, which closed in the late 1980s. It provides opportunities and scholarships for students who are either descendants from or recommended by alumni of the former Texas school. Fifteen students are now enrolled

“As an African American male coming from a large metropolitan city, going to a majority white school in relatively rural Kentucky was a culture shock for me. But in it, I learned to adapt to any situation life could throw at me which ultimately made me a better person. GC helped me be comfortable in any life situation.”

The Program provides numerous leadership and mentoring opportunities. In conjunction with the Graves Center for Calling and Career, GC’s career services office, future leaders hear leaders in various career fields describe their styles of leadership. Students also gain unique learning experiences and develop leadership skills by mentoring second and third grade students at a nearby elementary school, and each spring the Program sponsors an annual four-day

These classes introduced the Chinese students to a variety of American college courses of study.

“Our teachers commented on what excellent students they were. It was a great experience for all involved,” enthused Dr. Hunt, Associate Professor of Spanish and Chair, Department of World Languages, who coordinates the Summer Experience program.

“It is our hope that these high schoolers will consider going to college in the U.S., maybe even Georgetown, after participating in this program.”

The students also received an introduction to business in the U.S. from Mr. Kelly McEuen ‘93, an international business expert, and received instruction for applying to college in the U.S. from Mr. Jeremiah Tudor, Dean of Admission at Georgetown College.

A Georgetown College program known as the Georgetown Summer Experience gives international high school students exposure to small college life in the United States. In its second year, the 12-day summer experience in July welcomed 27 students and five teachers (pictured in the Ensor Learning Resource Center, above right, with Dr. Laura Hunt) from Hong Kong who took part in numerous activities both on- and offcampus.

During the morning hours, students were engaged in classes taught by Georgetown College professors. Among the courses offered were Chemistry, led by Dr. Amanda Hughes, Visiting Assistant Professor of Chemistry; Communications with Dr. Susan Dummer, Associate Professor and Chair, Department of

included tours of horse farms, Toyota Motor Manufacturing, and Buffalo Trace Distillery, among others, along with a visit to Mammoth Cave, the world’s longest cave, and trips to the state capital and the City of Louisville waterfront, to mention but a few. Many of these excursions were relevant to the courses students had taken. For example, chemistry and business at Toyota and ecology at Mammoth Cave.

Other off-campus activities included dining in the homes of professors and friends of the

college, visits with President and Mrs. Greene in their home, and numerous dining and recreational interactions with staff members.

“They (the students) talked about how wonderful it was to meet pets and children and enjoy a meal in an American home,” commented Dr. Hunt. They also were able to enjoy a bonfire and a water balloon fight, she noted, saying those were “something many of the students had never experienced, and they loved being a part of those activities.”

The two week Summer Experience concluded with a send-off dinner. Dr. Hunt described the students as “teary-eyed” as they talked about how warm and kind Americans are, and how they wished they could stay in Kentucky instead of returning to Hong Kong.

“Several students said the experience ‘changed their life’,” she remarked.

In an open email letter to members of the campus community who assisted with the project, Dr. Hunt, who, herself, received numerous well-deserved accolades for her leadership, wrote, “I would like to express my gratitude to the many people who made the summer camp for our students from Hong Kong a success. I know the folks at Georgetown College learned as much from this exchange as the students and teachers from overseas did.

What a wonderful experience!”

FAITHWAYS ACADEMY :

CHANGING LIVES AND SERVING CHURCHES

In practice, this means that Andrew Noe, Director of the Faithways Academy since its founding, works hard to provide students both with meaningful classroom-like experiences, and with opportunities to practice what they are learning through communal worship and new experiences. Andrew believes that much of the value comes from sharing a variety of opportunities together: “Our classes, worship times, and field trips to local churches to hear what makes each denomination unique are all moments of learning and fun.”

Like all Faithways Scholars, as the students are called, Austin took a Bible class from Pastor Tim Schindler of Georgetown Baptist Church, a theology course from Dr. Sheila Klopfer, chair of religion at Georgetown College, and a Church History course from Dr. John Inscore Essick, of the Baptist Seminary of Kentucky. Austin also chose two electives: a course on Worship taught by Ms. Elizabeth Sands Wise, and a course on Biblical Storytelling taught by Rev. Dr. Bryan Langlands, Campus Minister and a religion professor at Georgetown College.

For each elective, students completed a final project that they Summer 2018 Faithways Academy participants pose on the steps of Giddings Hall with director Andrew Noe (top center) and student leaders.

Austin Caldwell admits that he wasn’t real sure about the Faithways Academy camp when it began. “When I first got to Faithways,” he writes in an email, “I was thinking to myself this is not going to be for me, but I knew that God had given me that opportunity and I needed to take it.” It is a good thing that he GC MAGAZINE | FALL 2018 9

could use in their home churches as well. For the Worship elective, for example, Austin created a worship brochure that details how all of worship reaches up in praise, reaches out in service, and reaches down as we bow before our Creator and Lord. Other students learned to retell a biblical story as a dynamic and interesting narrative, then returned and shared those narratives in their churches. Other electives, such as Supermen and Saviors, Young Adult Literature, and Advocacy, helped students to create different final projects.

It was wonderful to see what the students created after their time together. As Dr. Klopfer says, “I can’t think of a better

Academy in the summer of 2018 along with about 20 other students to study the Bible, Theology, and various elective courses of their choosing. Faithways Academy, Georgetown College’s High School Theological Institute, will be entering its third year in the summer of 2019. Founded with a grant from the Lilly Foundation, the goal of the Faithways Academy is to provide high school students a pre-college experience that enables them to reflect deeply on their faith in an academic setting and to explore their faith in the world.

The effects of attending Faithways are real and tangible. All participants this past year are eligible to receive a $10,000 scholarship to attend Georgetown College ($2,500 per year, for four years). As the VP of Enrollment, Dr. Jonathan Sands Wise, noted, “Students who attend the Faithways Academy are exactly the kind of students that excel at Georgetown College.

Previously a two-week, on-campus, residential experience, Faithways Academy beginning next summer will be held as two single-week sessions accommodating a maximum of 46 students per week. This will give more students the opportunity to attend. The dates are June 15-21 and June 22-28. The cost for each one-week program is $225 per person.

GC A PERFECT MATCH FOR EASTERN KENTUCKY SIBLINGS Turner explained further that many of his relatives from eastern Kentucky were also graduates of Georgetown, citing cousins Derek Sword ‘08, Jacob Sword ‘11, and Tara Sword ‘12, as examples. “It was testimony from my family and their proven academic success plus Georgetown’s live-on-campus lifestyle and small class atmosphere that sold me,” he added.

As an undergraduate, Turner quickly immersed himself in campus life. He joined Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity where he won Man of the Year honors, served two terms as president of the Student Government Association, was a student representatives to the Board of Trustees, and was an orientation leader, among other activities. He was also recognized by the College as Most Outstanding Student Leader.

Discovery: it’s what the college years are all about. Discovery of oneself, of one’s real interest, and of one’s possible future career.

Cameron Kenner always had an interest in science. In the summer before he enrolled as a freshman, he took advantage of PEAMS, the pre-college academic experience in math and science summer camp at Georgetown College. At the time, he thought a pre-veterinarian program would be his career path, but soon he discovered that wasn’t his passion.

Then he was introduced to the Science Honors Seminar led by Timothy Griffith, associate professor of biology, which, in turn, initially piqued Cameron’s interest in biochemical research. It wasn’t long before he was an honors student in the sciences, discovering the thrill of becoming a scientist. “I learned all about what science is and was able to dive into the reading of scientific literature. It helped me develop my love for science,” Cameron said.

The Science Honors Program was formed in 2017 as a successor to the GCPALS (Georgetown College Program to Accelerate Learning in the Sciences) that was started in 2009 through grants from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Over the eight years of GCPALS’s existence, HHMI awarded two grants to Georgetown College totaling $2.4 million.

“A significant component of these grants funded the Science Careers Seminar at that time. It brought visiting scientists to speak on campus and provided fellowship GC MAGAZINE | FALL 2018 17

support for student summer research,” explained Dr. Griffith. Describing GCPALS as tremendously successful, he said

SCIENCE HONORS PROGRAM PIQUES INTEREST IN SCIENTIFIC STUDY

that by the time the grants ended over 180 science majors at GC had received summer research funding. “Alumni from this program have gone on to graduate schools and careers in fields ranging from medicine to chemical and bioengineering to psychiatry to environmental management.”

Georgetown College’s current Science Honors Program, established as the HHMI funding came to a close, is unique

“I CAN’T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT MY PROFESSORS AT GEORGETOWN. THE SCIENCE HONORS PROGRAM HAS HELPED ME DEVELOP MY LOVE FOR SCIENCE.”

Science Honors students like Cameron delve into science courses at Georgetown College with Honors Increments courses such as the ethics of stem cell research or field trips to study the natural history of Kentucky. They take a seminar class reading the cutting-edge scientific research – and meet the scientists who wrote these papers.

“Cameron was one of nine students in our first Science Honors Seminar last fall,” said Dr. Griffith.

“Even among this great group of students, his curiosity and enthusiasm stood out. I can’t think of very many students who discover they have passions for such diverse interests as the philosophy of science, biochemistry, and student outreach, but Cameron brings all of these interests together.”

the world. The Science Honors Program now gives honors students with an interest in the sciences the opportunity to do summer research at the end of their junior year and use this research as the basis for their honors thesis.

For Cameron, a junior from Frankfort, Ky., a Science Honors Program fellowship of $4,000 enabled him to spend a ten-week summer internship after his sophomore year working in the lab of Dr. Konstantin Korotkov in the University Of Kentucky Biochemistry Department. While that lab works mostly with X-Ray Crystallography, the project Cameron worked on was Novel Antitubercular Nanobody Synthesis.

“I was thrilled to hear about Cameron’s research over the summer,” added Dr. Griffith. “He has also talked about his research with current students in the Science Honors Seminar and he is a wonderfully engaged peer-leader for my section of freshman seminar with our newest Science Honors students.”

Cameron’s enthusiasm for science is contagious and he is obviously most appreciative of a supportive faculty. “I can’t say enough about my professors at Georgetown. The Science Honors Program has helped me develop my love for science,” the future research scientist said. “Academic research, teaching, and trying to solve problems – it’s really where I want to spend the rest of my life.”

“This was just creating nanobodies that would prevent the bacteria that causes Tuberculosis from he explained. “The main processes we used to do this were Protein Expression, Protein Purification through liquid chromatography methods, and Differential Scanning Fluorimetry to test for binding and inhibiting ability.”

Furthermore, “Getting samples to be tested, I learned a lot about tuberculosis and the bacterial resistance,” Cameron remarked. “I’ve come to understand that we must identify problems in the world and get ahead of diseases like this, so that we do not become complacent in how we treat them, allowing these bacteria to adapt.”

can apply to the Science Honors Program during their senior year. Application information can be found online: www.georgetowncollege.edu/ academics/honors-programs.

Academically strong GC freshmen who do well during their first year are also encouraged to join the program. Students with an interest in joining the Science Honors Program are encouraged to contact Dr. Tim Griffith (tgriffi0@ georgetowncollege.edu) or any of their science faculty.
