The 2010-2011 academic year has been an interesting one for Jacksonville State University. The campus saw the most snow since the blizzard of 1993 and enrollment numbers continue to grow. We are working hard to make improvements that increase the value of the Jacksonville State University experience.
In this edition of Gem of the Hills, you will be introduced to two of our outstanding students. We want you to see the quality of students who are earning their degrees from your university. Read about Ms. Polk and Ms. Ginn on page twenty-eight and get to know these future alumnae of JSU.
Also in this edition, you will meet Lauren Smith, a 2009 graduate who is living her dream of working with animals. On page thirty-two, meet Ms. Edith Gissendanner, one of JSU’s oldest living alumni. She is ninety-eight and still going strong.
On page eight, you will see how the campus is changing with the transformation of the Gamecock Center into the Gamecock Diner, a new restaurant style cafeteria for our students. And who could forget the excitement of last year’s football season with the victory over Ole Miss? Find this year’s schedule and season ticket information on pages seventeen and eighteen.
Just in case you haven’t already heard, the Southerners have been selected to represent the United States to lead the New Year’s Day Parade in London in 2012. This is significant because the parade marks the first event of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Celebration as well as the London Olympics. We have provided you with all the information about this wonderful opportunity on page six. Read the story to find out how you can travel to London as well and be a part of this once in a lifetime event.
I hope you enjoy this issue, and I look forward to seeing you on campus soon.

SPOTLIGHT
by lAurA nAsh photo by steve lAthAm
Lauren Smith goeS to work every morning ready to get in the water. when She arriveS, She putS on her wet Suit, feedS the Sea lionS, and goeS through their training routineS. thiS iS the beginning of a day in the life of an aSSiStant marine animal trainer.
Lauren graduated from Jacksonville State University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology. She is often asked why she chose psychology and not marine biology. “Training animals is more about behavior and reinforcing that behavior,” she claims.
During the summers of her college career, she completed two internships. Her first internship was in St. Augustine, Florida, at Marineland where she mostly worked with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Her second internship was at the Miami
Seaquarium. Only two months after graduating from Jacksonville State, she was lucky enough to be offered a job at the Seaquarium. She then packed her bags and moved south to the sunshine state.
At Miami Seaquarium, Lauren trains Pacific harbor seals, Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, and her favorite, the California sea lions. She goes on to describe her favorite sea lions. One in particular is Bud, an older sea lion that often smiles at her. Another is named Cain, only a baby who she has trained since birth. She trains all of the animals for shows and interactions. During interactions, the sea lions can kiss and hug.
She has wanted to be a trainer since she was nine years-old. Her father took her to The Theatre of the Sea in the Florida Keys, where she participated in the “Trainer for a Day” program and fell in love with the experience.
The Seaquarium is located just off the southern tip of Miami. The water is
pumped in straight from the ocean. Even in Miami, the water can get chilly during the winter months, so getting into 60º water in a wet suit is very uncomfortable.
Since her graduation, Lauren had not been home until the fall of 2010. When she came home to visit her family, she made a special visit to Jacksonville State’s campus to speak to an upper level psychology class. She spoke about behavior modification techniques and how she applies the concepts to her job and training animals using reinforcement.
Lauren’s future goal is to one day become a manager for a facility like the one she works at now.
Southerners Get a “Once in a lifetime Chance”
by shelby delAp
The Southerners are without a doubt one of the biggest names in college marching bands. They have marched in Lyndon B. Johnson’s inaugural parade, the United States’ Bicentennial Parade in Philadelphia, and the 75th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, along with many other admirable events. It’s no wonder then, that the Southerners were invited to Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee (sixty year reign) in 2012, the same year that the United Kingdom will host the Summer Olympic Games, and only the second diamond jubilee in the British Empire’s history.
The invitation was quite formal; in September of 2010 the Honorable Roger Bramble, Lord Lieutenant of Greater London, came personally to Jacksonville with the Queen’s invitation. He was greeted with a demonstration by The Southerners, and delivered the invitation to the entire band. The invitation came as a rather pleasant surprise, as the band did not apply to march for the queen. In fact, there is no application process. The New Year’s Day parade committee scouts out the top university and high school bands across the world and decides who will receive an invitation. According to the Lord Lieutenant, the Southerners were chosen by a group of talent scouts who highly recommended the band to represent the United States for the occasion. And represent they will as they lead the parade through the streets of London on New Year’s Day.
For many Southerners, this will be their first time leaving the country, let alone visiting London. “I have never left the country, so it will be a worthwhile experience,” drum line member Torsten Dryden said. “The trip will be amazing, because we will have several tours in London along with the parade.” The exact itinerary has not been set for the trip yet but the Southerners do know they will also be performing at a concert while in the United Kingdom. “It is not every day a group is asked to play for the Queen,” says Dryden, “It really is a once in a lifetime chance.”
This exciting opportunity is not without cost, however. Southerners who plan on attending must seek sponsorship in order to cover the price tag. Regardless of this barrier, many band members are finding such support in their friends and families, proof of the community’s gratitude and determination to represent
Jacksonville, Ala., and the United States. Each participant will also receive a commemorative medal for their service. “I’m excited,” Lindsey Cochran summarized, “it’s gonna be awesome!”
University band director, Mr. Ken Bodiford, says: “I am so proud of our students. They work countless hours every week to ensure that their fans always get a performance that they will never forget. For the Southerners to receive such an honor reinforces the fact that hard work pays off.”
Their hard work will certainly be displayed as The Southerners lead the parade to ring in the New Year. The Parade is about twice the size of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in New York. It attracts about 600,000 people to the streets each year and has about 240 million television viewers worldwide.
Now that the invitation has been issued, the real work of getting the band to London has begun. It will cost just shy of $3,000 per member to get the group of roughly 350 students and staff to London and back. Each student is taking on the responsibility of raising their own money for the trip. To raise funds, the Southerners will incorporate ideas generated from a steering committee comprised of alumni and current members’ parents. Individual donations are also greatly appreciated and may be sent to:
JSU Foundation / Marching Southerners
700 Pelham Road North Jacksonville, AL 36265
Please put “Southerners London” in the memo line on your check.
Also, contributions may be made with a major credit card online at www.jsu.edu/giving.
Do You Want to Go?
This trip has also been made available to any non-performers wishing to travel to London. Contact the Alumni Relations Office to make your reservation at alumni@jsu.edu or by phone at:
800.JSU-ALUM/256-782-5404. The trip dates are December 28, 2011-January 4, 2012 and the cost is approximately $3000 per person.
Gamecock Diner opens on campus
In January, Jacksonville State University’s Dining Services (Sodexo) opened a new restaurant on campus. The Gamecock Diner is located at the back of Stephenson Hall, formerly known as The Gamecock Center. Customers can select a main entrée with two sides and fill their plates with unlimited soup, salad and beverages included in the $7.50 price.
Scott Williams, manager of Sodexo at JSU says “It may be a five to eight minute wait for your food but it’s worth it.” At the new dining establishment, all the food is cooked to order and when the order is ready there is a touch screen menu system that will allow the customer to choose the
option of receiving a text message or the order will appear on a monitoring screen.
According to Joe Whitmore, director of Institutional Support Services, portions of the menu will rotate on a daily basis. “Now that on-campus students are required to purchase a meal plan, we (JSU) want to have as many options as possible. “I am very pleased with the way it turned out. We’ve had an executive chef here to help with the menu items. We’re counting heavily on the students’ feedback to know in which direction to take it.”
The new Gamecock Diner has approximately ninety-five seats and is open for lunch and dinner Monday-Thursday and lunch on Friday.
Andy Green New Director of Enrollment
One of the first things Andy Green learned, as a new admissions counselor at Jacksonville State University in May 2005, was that in order to help a new student succeed, one first needed to build a relationship.
Five years later, not only has Green seen many of his first recruits graduate, he remains friends with many he mentored. In August 2010, Green stepped up his commitment to ensure collegiate success for all of JSU’s new students when he became the new director of enrollment management at his alma mater, replacing Martha Mitchell, who retired earlier this year from her position as JSU’s director of admissions.
The position reflects a new title for JSU, and new opportunities for Green to use his experience in admissions counseling and academic advisement.
Green is an expert on the JSU experience from a student’s perspective. He earned two degrees from JSU: a Bachelor of Science with a geography major and a marketing minor in 2005, and a Master of Public Administration in 2008. He is a
lifetime member of the Jacksonville State University Alumni Association, as well as state, regional and national professional organizations.
Even as he attended new student orientation last week, he looked ahead to his first full recruitment class, the freshman class of 2011.
“Fall 2010’s hay is in the barn, even though there still could be some in the field,” he said. “Next year there will be a whole new crop of students and I’m excited to be working in the fields.”
Looking back over his JSU career as an admissions counselor, senior admissions counselor, and director of academic advisement, Green says he has always been hands-on. He intends to continue that style of leadership.
“Most of my early students were like me. They didn’t know where to start. Their parents expected me to take care of them. College was a big change. From my perspective, I felt privileged that I was able to help them navigate all the changes.”
In return, he was encouraged in his own career as a result of their success.

Now, he looks forward to being with the department for the long haul.
“There’s that relationship, even though admissions counselors sometimes come and go. As the director, I plan to be here for many years.”
And what about the office name change? Green says that the move to the enrollment management moniker reflects the university’s move to viewing the process more holistically, rather than it being just admitting students. Enrollment management is recruiting and retention.
“It’s similar to taking the silos out,” Green says. “With a silo, you just have one grain. With enrollment management, you’re blending other areas together, from academics to housing to student services. It’s an exciting approach that nurtures an environment for living and learning now, which greatly contributes to success after college.”

Doctor of Science in emerGency m anaGement to BeGin thiS fall
The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) has cleared the way for Jacksonville State University to begin offering its first doctoral degree, the Doctor of Science in Emergency Management, in Fall 2011. This marks the final step in the move to SACS Level 5 accreditation.
JSU President, Dr. William A. Meehan said the move is “the biggest change in the university’s role since we became a university in 1967.”
The university will begin accepting applications this summer for the program and classes will commence in the fall. The program will be primarily online but will include an integrative seminar where the student will come to campus for one week, according to the director of the new doctoral program, Dr. Jane Kushma.
According to Dr. Rebecca Turner, JSU provost and vice president for academic and student affairs, SACS will send a follow-up, on-site review team in Spring
new approved
2012 to gauge the program’s progress and interview students, faculty and administrators.
According to the SACS website, with Level 5 accreditation a university can offer up to three doctoral degrees.
ma Ster of fine art S
The Department of Art at Jacksonville State University has experienced exponential growth in the last few years. The new Master of Fine Arts in Visual Communication and Design is full of endless possibilities. The Department of Art is nationally accredited and has digital imaging and graphic design laboratories and fully equipped graduate studios. The department has over two hundred majors divided among drawing, painting, ceramics, printmaking, digital imaging, photography and graphic design.
For more information about the new Master of Fine Arts program, contact Professor Diana Cadwallader at dianac@ jsu.edu
m a Ster of Science in Sport manaGement
The Master of Science in Sport Management curriculum at JSU was designed with the objective of meeting the education requirements of both the Alabama Department of Education standard rules for Class A Teacher Certification in Sport Management and the Commission on Sport Management Accreditation requirements. Graduates of the new programs will meet the demands of the job market in various sport industry segments including organization and administration of sports programs, sports law and risk management, issues in sports, health and safety in sports programs, among others.
How will we do that? That’s often a question we ask as we try to find ways to meet a particular challenge. It’s no different at JSU. For the past few years, the State of Alabama has cut funding to the state universities, meaning that budgets are scrutinized and spending has to be well planned. JSU continues to manage funds effectively, but there are important needs that have to be addressed. When money is an issue, the question is asked, “How will we do that?”
At JSU, one answer is the annual phonathon. Last year’s phonathon raised over $168,000. During the phonathon, alumni update contact records and are asked to make a contribution to JSU. If you are an alumnus, you may have already received a phone call.
Many donors will give to a certain fund or department, but when a donor does not state a specific department as the recipient the money goes into the Annual Fund. Money in the Annual Fund is used to better the campus at JSU. Last years gifts to the annual fund totaled over $36,000. From purchasing one hundred fifty new chairs for the frequent events held in our auditorium, to contributing to the first year experience of our freshmen,
your support can make a difference
these donations went a long way this past year.
The Leone Cole Auditorium was in need of some new chairs for the many events held there. JSU’s orientation programs and many public events draw large crowds at Leone Cole. One hundred fifty new chairs were purchased with about $19,000 of the Annual Fund money to accommodate the audiences at these events.
The Human Resources Department has an Employee of the Month and Employee of the Year program for the university. About $4,600 went toward the plaques, receptions, and other gifts given to the recipients.
The Drama Department puts on productions at least two or three times per semester. New wireless microphones were needed for these productions, especially musicals. Around $4,400 went toward the new microphones.
Technology upgrades had been requested by the department of Disability Support Services. With about $2,500 of the Annual Fund money helping this department, a new scanner was bought to keep track of all the medical records of accommodated students. With the new scanner, the records are more easily acces-
sible through the computer instead of on paper. Also, the DSS department received upgrades to further enhance the academic abilities of disabled students. With the new Windows Eyes program, blind students are able to use computers. Windows Eyes can create a Braille version of notes and tests.
Freshman Convocation is an annual event for Jacksonville State’s incoming freshmen. During the first week of classes in the fall, the new students gather in the stadium for a freshmanonly pep rally, and are introduced to being a Gamecock. At this event, each student receives a Freshman Convocation t-shirt. At the end of the ceremony, a class picture is taken. Approximately $2,500 went toward the shirts this year.
This year, the contributions raised during the phonathon made JSU an even better place to be. However, none of it could have been possible without the unrestricted donations from our generous alumni.
Billy R. Williams had a dream of owning his own business. In 1958, he set about making that dream a reality and BR Williams Trucking was born.
A tragic fire at the business killed Billy Williams in 1965 and, with the losses uninsured, literally left much of the business in ashes. His wife, Ruth, left her teaching job and, as a way to honor her late husband, set about to rebuild the business. BR Williams Trucking was incorporated in 1966 and Ruth Williams became the first president of the company. Mrs. Williams graduated from JSU in 1943 with a degree in education and was a favorite teacher at Weaver Junior High School until 1965. But over the next thirty-eight years, she also proved to be a shrewd businesswoman and, with the assistance of some fine employees, BR Williams became one of the leading trucking firms in the Southeast.
Mrs. Williams retired in the early ’90s and called on the next generation of

family to run the business. Through the years, she has always found meaningful ways to give back to JSU. Indeed, she sent her daughters to JSU – Kaye Williams Perry graduated in 1976 and Dee Williams Brown in 1980.
Fast forward to the present and Mrs. Williams’ son-in-law, Greg Brown is chairman of the board at BR Williams Trucking, daughter Dee is president and daughter Kaye is vice president. (Kaye’s husband, Dan Perry, is also a 1973 JSU alumnus.)
Greg Brown graduated from JSU in 1979 and, along with playing a vital role in the local business community, he continues to give back to JSU. He currently serves as chairman of the Board of Visitors for the College of Commerce and Business Administration.
As Greg heard of JSU’s upcoming campaign to raise awareness of the Distance Education programs he knew how he could help to spread the good word.
And now 165 big rigs are advertising JSU as they drive through 48 states and Canada!
BR Williams–we salute you and thank you for the fine example you set for JSU alumni everywhere!

When Soldiers Go missing
by dr. mArk FAgAn
My grandmother, annie rowe fagan, Saw a lot in her Sixty-four yearS (1886-1950). She gave birth to ten children and watched them grow into adultS during the great depreSSion. She Sent five SonS to fight overSeaS in world war ii. She bid farewell to her Sixth child, fred g. fagan, aS he left the farm at age twentyfive for india to train aS a Soldier for fighting in the china-burma-india theater againSt the JapaneSe. but one thing annie fagan did not live to See waS fred come home. She died in 1950 and hiS remainS came home in 2010.
Pvt. Fred G. Fagan was born on October 21, 1918, on a farm in the country outside Piedmont, Alabama. He never married and had no children. He lived in Piedmont until 1943 when he was drafted into the Army. He was on a plane with six others that crashed in 1944 in Burma and was not found until 2004, when the site was excavated. Fred and the six others finally received their due honor at a group burial service with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery on July 15, 2010.
Fred Fagan was my uncle. I was born in 1952, eight years after Fred went missing. I grew up hearing that he was on a plane that disappeared in Burma and that no one really ever knew for sure what happened. I saw the letters that my grandmother got from the military reporting his fate. I saw the letters from family members of the other six men to my grandmother, all seeking to share information about what they learned about the seven men on the plane.
Fred was kept alive in our collective memory for many years after he was reported missing and eventually declared dead. Our family had hope that somehow he might have survived and might still return home to be with us once again.
group burial was planned for Arlington National Cemetery for 2010. My wife and I then began going through the letters and other artifacts that I got at my mother’s death twenty years ago. We knew they were historical but never thought we would need them for anything. I began researching Fred and his service in World War II. He served as a member of Merrill’s Marauders, officially named the 5307th Composite Unit, a U.S. long-range penetration special forces unit in the South-East Asian Theater of World War II that fought in the Burma Campaign. The unit was famed for deep movements behind Japanese rear defenses and thrusts toward superior forces.
“The more i learned, the more respect and admiration i developed for those that fought in World War ii.” - Dr. Mark Fagan
Family discussions for many years included stories about how maybe he parachuted out of the plane and was taken in by the villagers or captured by the Japanese and that he might someday find his way home again. We eventually accepted his fate and thought we would never know what exactly happened.
In 2004, I was at work when I received a call from the Pentagon. The man on the phone told me that they thought they had found the crash site of the missing plane that included my uncle. I was speechless. They asked me to provide DNA to be used for identifying the human remains they found there. I supplied them with my DNA and waited until 2009 for definitive word on the plane and Fred. The U.S. Army sent two men in 2009 to visit me at my home to share with me two reports, one about the mission of the plane and one on the crash site excavation. Only one member of the plane had human remains that were confirmed. Therefore, a
They were composed of U.S. Army Rangers and were an all-volunteer unit that was first sent to India for training in 1943. Fred fought in six major battles according to Brigadier General Frank Merrill in a letter to my grandmother.
Allied Forces needed to control the airfield at Myitkyina, Burma, to remove the threat of Japanese fighter planes delivering supplies to China. American forces could not provide the necessary supplies to defeat the Japanese in China without Myitkyina airfield. There were five hundred of Merrill’s Marauders that had marched sixty-five miles with mules over rugged mountainous terrain and re-captured the airfield at Myitkyina from the Japanese on May 17, 1944. These men were weakened by hunger and disease from malaria, bloody dysentery, and/or scrub typhus from sleeping on infected areas in the mud. By May 23, 1944, they had gone three days without food.
On the morning of May 23, 1944, C-47-A #42-23510, 4th Troop Carrier Squadron (Olbinski Group), lifted off from the airfield in Dinjan, India with the mission of delivering desperately needed mortar shells and supplies to Myitkyina. When the plane left, the ceiling was one hundred feet, visibility was a quarter mile and there was rain. The plane never made it to Myitkyina and it never returned to Dinjan.
The more I learned, the more respect and admiration I developed for those that fought in World War II. I started to realize the sacrifices they made for the freedom of their families and fellow Americans. I started to appreciate that without the efforts of the military in this war, our world would be much different today.
My wife, Pam; my son, Chris; and my daughter, Rachel went with me to Arling-
Each family was given a flag. The precision and choreography of this service was truly impressive.
We were very proud that these men were finally laid to rest along with 330,000 of their comrades within view of the Washington Monument and across the river from the Capitol and White House. We were extremely thankful that our government cared enough to bring these men’s mission to a close and see that they received their proper burial. We were also appreciative that there was closure for the families.
The Commander of the 4th Airlift Squadron, the successor squadron for the one that these men were attached, spoke at the family visitation. They fly similar missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Antarctica and they are the only Airlift Squadron permitted to transport nuclear
finally found out what happened to them and got them buried. I wish that Fred’s parents and siblings could have participated in the experience of the discovery, explanation of what happened and burial ceremony. I wish that Fred could have known how proud we are of him.
I have shared this story with distant relatives and others interested through the media. I developed a Web site for informational purposes and to allow a virtual experience of this story. It has details about the mission and excavation along with videos and pictures of the services and links to television and media stories presented about these events. Please visit this site at http:// www.jsu.edu/socialwork/fredfagan/ index.html. It has evolved into a tribute for these men.

ton for the family visitation and burial service for these men. We were joined by some of my cousins and their children. We met the family members of the other six men in the crash and shared stories about those men and the experiences and emotions of their families during the time they were missing up until now.
Sitting next to the family members of the other men at the group burial was a very intense and surreal experience for me. I could see the Washington Monument on one side and the Air Force Memorial on the other side as we faced the casket with the group remains of these men. We had marched over a mile from the Old Post Chapel to the site along with a seven-horse caisson with body party, army band, color guard, and firing party. The air traffic at Reagan National Airport was halted long enough for a flyover of a C-17 Globemaster in honor of these men. There was a three-volley salute and Taps. The band played America as the flag was folded.
weapons. Commander Lewis told us that we were family with them and that these seven men were their brothers. Again, my respect for our military was enhanced.
There were two original members of Merrill’s Marauders that attended the service. These men were near ninety years old. One was at the airfield at Myitkyina on the day the plane left India. The stories told by these men brought the experience to life for me and further increased my admiration of these men.
I think that this experience has helped me and my family to truly appreciate what it means to be an American. It has helped me to understand that we really do not have it that tough even if, at times, things seem difficult. It has motivated me to be thankful for the comfortable and secure life that we enjoy. It has made me more patriotic.
The remaining family members finally got closure on these men. They were returned home after sixty-six years. We

A Different Perspective
Heather marShall- fleenor
SeeS the world from a different perSpective.
As a graduate student at JSU’s College of Education, she discovered a myriad of educational theories that would shape the “out of the box” teacher she has become. Heather credits a great deal of her formation to wonderful professors like Dr. Barbara Yunker and Dr. Peter Robinson. She had the pleasure of learning from their examples while working on her Master of Education from 1998 – 1999.
Still teaching, Heather prides herself on employing several of the nontraditional theories she learned at JSU. Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences, for example, recognizes that there are many ways a student can show mastery of content. Heather says her classroom is “…a lively and fluid place. Desks are not always in neat rows, but in circles and pairs where students can cooperate and debate. I want students to learn how to think rather than learn what I think.” She firmly believes that while traditional methods are necessary, they should never be the only tools of measurement.
Heather completed her practicum locally at Jacksonville High School. After graduating in 1999, she taught in Birmingham, Ala. at both Gardendale High School and E.B. Erwin High School. In 2004 she and her husband moved to New York City where Heather landed a very competitive position at Manhattan’s prestigious York Preparatory School. There she teaches history and coaches York Prep’s award-winning Model United Nations
Perspective
team. In this simulation program hosted by Ivy League universities, high school students from all over the U.S. and the world come together to represent one of the 192 UN countries and solve real world problems. She says, “It’s the best thing for teaching history, how the real world works and current events.”
Heather also sees the world from a different perspective, literally. Diagnosed with macular degeneration at a young age, she has gradually lost a portion of her vision due to the deterioration of her retinal cells. While she maintains a normal and full life, the slow progression of the disease has presented challenges.
Having to contend with other people’s perceptions of what it means to be a person with a disability is the most difficult one. Heather says, “Others often want to place limitations on me due to their own lack of imagination or innovation.” She is determined, however, to find ways to make things happen. Heather believes this perspective is perhaps her greatest teaching tool. She says emphatically, “Teaching students to navigate road blocks in life and education is essential. I do not tolerate excuses.”
Her tough-love, no-excuses approach earned her Teacher of the Year honors last year. The dedication in the York Prep
yearbook read, “The Class of 2010 would like to dedicate this yearbook to you because of your commitment to teaching history at York Prep. You are one of the most intelligent and inspiring women a person could ever meet. Being in one of your many history classes is a pleasure and a one of a kind learning experience. Your ability to teach and to offer opinions has influenced us to create our own.”

Meet JeSSica. She grew up in oneonta, ala., and attended oneonta high School where She waS involved in the band program. She waS a member of the color guard and dance teamS. She graduated with a 3.6 grade point average. She has an older sister who attends Wallace State Community College and a younger brother who is in the seventh grade in Oneonta. Her parents and grandparents live in Oneonta. Sounds like your typical college student right?
Maybe not. Jessica knew that in order to attend college, she would need financial
awarded. Wanting to ease the financial burden for her family, Jessica dove in and completed the application on time. In the spring of her senior year, Jessica was notified that of the 20,500 students who applied for the scholarship, she was one of one thousand in the nation who would be receiving this award. She later learned that of the one thousand awarded; only eleven were in Alabama. Her hard work had paid off.
The Gates Millennium Scholars Program was established in 1999. It was originally funded by a $1 billion grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The United Negro College Fund administers the program whose goal is to promote academic excellence

assistance. She completed every scholarship application she could find in the hope of being awarded enough money to allow her to move away from home and experience college life while earning an education….but not too far away from home.
Since the tenth grade, Jessica knew she wanted to attend JSU. She had heard from friends who had chosen to attend the university about how much they loved the environment and education. Even a member of her family, Mr. Earl Warren, director of Institutional Development at JSU, was an alumnus of the school and after attending a preview day her senior year, she knew JSU would be her future home.
Back to the scholarships. Jessica’s high school counselor called her into her office one day and told her to take a look at the application for the Gates Millennium Scholarship. The application included twenty-two essay questions and it gave no clue as to the amount that would be
and to provide an opportunity for outstanding minority students with significant financial need to reach their highest potential. The one thousand students selected receive a goodthrough-graduation scholarship (renewable each year) to use at any college or university of their choice. The program provides seamless support from undergraduate through doctoral programs, for students selected as Gates Millennium Scholars entering target disciplines. These include the disciplines of computer science, education, engineering, library science, mathematics, public health and the sciences, where minority groups are severely underrepresented. The scholarship even includes studyabroad programs if available.
Jessica could have gone to any school in the nation that she wantedFREE! And she chose Jacksonville State University to earn her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and continue
Jessica
with a Master of Science in Public Health. She loves it here. Just ask her. Since she stepped on campus and moved into Logan Hall with her friend from high school, Jessica hasn’t stopped. She was actively involved in Freshman Forum as the treasurer in the fall and will be trying out for the Marching Ballerinas this spring. She also made the Dean’s List for the fall semester. And even though she doesn’t have to worry about the cost of tuition, room and board and books, she stays close to a tight work ethic by working for the JSU
phonathon and at Stephenson Gym. Some would say that Jessica hit the jackpot. She may even say so herself. All of her dedication and determination has been rewarded and she does not have to be concerned about how to pay for her college education.
JSU is fortunate to have one of the brightest students in the nation choose to advance her education here. This freshman has a lot more to give and it’s going to be interesting to watch all that she will become.
Meet rachael. She grew up in calhoun county and graduated from alexandria high School. Rachael never really thought of attending anywhere other than Jacksonville State University. Her parents, Darryl (’84) and Robbie (’85) Ginn, met at JSU. Involvement could be her middle name. Since her first semester on campus, Rachael has been involved in the
rachael Ginn
American Chemical Society, JSU Ambassadors, Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity and Gamecock Orientation. She served as president of Zeta Tau Alpha and was the Gamecock Orientation coordinator in 2010. Just name it, Rachael has probably been a part of it some time during her college career.
Her outgoing personality and willingness to be involved on campus made her a likeable individual among her peers and landed her on the Homecoming Court twice.
But it’s not just activities. Her academic success is clear. Rachael received multiple JSU scholarships throughout her college years and earned membership into numerous honor societies such as Phi Eta Sigma, Rho Lambda, Order of Omega, Omicron Delta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society. She has maintained a grade point average of 3.72 during her college years.
And it doesn’t stop there. She still finds time to give back to the community. During the past four years, she has tutored
local high school students and volunteered for the American Red Cross Blood Drive and Relay for Life.
Rachael is set to receive her Bachelor of Science degree in biology this spring. Rachael was accepted into Auburn University’s Harrison School of Pharmacy at the end of January. She is also considering Samford University for post graduate work. Rachael plans on attending one of the two schools for pharmacy school to pursue her dream of becoming a pharmacist. Look out world, here she comes!
STRONG NINETY-EIGHT & STILL GOING
REFLECTIONS OF A JSU ALUMNA
The lasting effects of the education that ninety-eight-year-old Edith Gissendanner received at Jacksonville State University many years ago are still very present in her everyday life, from the vivid memories she can readily recall from years of teaching, to her old college annuals she keeps in a safe place. But perhaps the most unique possession she showed me while sitting at her dining room table one rainy afternoon in Crossville, Alabama, is the small notebook where, for an entire summer, she documented in her own handwriting what the cafeteria on campus served for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Born October 2, 1912 to Lee and Dessa Putnam on a farm in Lumpkin, Georgia, Edith grew up with two sisters, Clara and Oline, in Adamsburg, Alabama.
by julie skinner
“We were very poor,” Edith says. “But we didn’t know it, because everybody else was too.”
Tragedy struck right before Edith started her senior year of high school. While on the way to the store, her parents were hit by a train. Only her mother survived. “The railroad people paid my mother $5,000, which was just a little bit for somebody’s life,” Edith says. “Out of that $5,000, she took out enough to send me to Jacksonville for one year of college. That was about $800 or $900, and included the dorm, meals and my books.”
Edith graduated from high school as valedictorian in 1929 at the age of sixteen. Edith started college in 1930 at JSU, then called Jacksonville State Teachers College, and went the one year that her mother
paid for. Back then, students could obtain a certificate to teach after only one year, so Edith then began teaching school in the winter and returned to JSU in the summer to finish her degree. Doing it this way took longer, eleven years to be exact, but Edith was driven. Edith says that back then, there wasn’t much to do around campus, so walking to the square and back or sitting under the Confederate monument was a favorite pastime. In 1941, Edith graduated with a degree in elementary education. In 1936, Edith moved to Crossville to teach first grade. It was there that she met her husband, Earl Gissendanner. “When I went to Crossville to teach, we all met on the front steps.

One of the first things they told all the teachers was that, the year before, everybody who taught at Crossville had been fired except for three teachers.” Earl Gissendanner was one of the three teachers who had not been fired. “They told us not to ask what happened if we wanted to keep our job, and I never asked. Can you believe that? I was married to my husband for over fifty years, and I never asked.”
Edith and Earl met that first day of school at Crossville, and were married by Thanksgiving the same year. They had three children, Samuel, Martha and Frank.
Today, Edith Gissendanner still resides in Crossville, near her children and grandchildren. She has a poodle, Coco, that sleeps lazily on the floor of her beautiful, well-kept home. Edith enjoys painting, and has several of her breathtaking works displayed throughout her home. Edith was honored to ride in Crossville’s Christmas Parade this past December as the “Grand Marshall,” where she enjoyed the view from a 1950 maroon Ford convertible.
Recently, Edith has written a book entitled Beyond Adamsburg, which is all about her life and the thirty years she taught.
*ms. Gissendanner shown in her Crossville, ala. home who, in addition to her many talents, is also an accomplished painter and is shown here with several of her favorite pieces.
BelOW lefT: Ms. Gissendanner’s class photo in a 1930 edition of the Teacola student yearbook, the precursor to the Mimosa.
The book is sold for $12 and can be found at Liberty National Bank in Crossville, Ala., or at a local pharmacy, Crossville Drugs. The book was printed by BPI, Boaz Printing Incorporated, and Edith says that readers can look forward to a lot of pictures throughout the book.
While Edith is one of the oldest living graduates of JSU, she embodies the struggle, perseverance and success that every modern-day college student experiences still today. While decades have come and gone and the look and name of Jacksonville State University have changed, the invaluable education provided by JSU is ultimately the common, unbreakable link between us all.
JSU Greek Community
wins regional GPA award
On March 6, 2011, the annual Greek Awards Ceremony recognized the outstanding achievements accomplished by JSU fraternities and sororities during the 2010 academic year.
The JSU Greek community showed their commitment to philanthropy and hands-on service by donating over 9,000 hours and over $46,000 to an array of philanthropic projects such as Little Tree, 2nd Chance Shelter, Autism Speaks, Juvenile Arthritis Research, Breast Cancer Awareness and Research, Jacksonville Parks and Recreation, Children’s Miracle Network, and the Anniston Soup Kitchen. From their generous efforts, the JSU
fraternities and sororities increased their philanthropic endeavors by 3,000 hours and $12,000 from 2009.
At the closing of the 2009 award ceremony, Dr. Meehan challenged the Greek community to increase membership. The students listened and are proud to announce that this past year, chapter memberships increased by twelve percent.
The overall Greek grade point average (GPA) of 2.71 in 2009 was raised to a 2.75
in 2010. The Greek community continues to exceed the JSU undergraduate average. Due to these academic achievements, the JSU Greek community recently received the Gamma Sigma Alpha National Greek Academic Honor Society regional GPA award.

JSU Alumnus’ Class Makes History
*Many said it couldn’t be done. Even David Wilson had his doubts, giving the project only a ten percent chance of success because he knew the problems involved. But without effort there can be no success, so despite the possible problems of aloft winds, program failure for the downloaded software to make the camera take pictures automatically, temperatures at forty below, parachute deployment, failure of landing in a river or the Atlantic Ocean if winds were right, the class kept working. And everything they thought could go wrong went right!
Sounds like a NASA experiment, right? For Mr. Wilson’s high school students at Murphy High School in North Carolina, it was pretty close. The honor physics class successfully completed a semester-long science experiment that launched a hot air balloon, equipped with a GPS and a camera, into the Earth’s stratosphere. Mr. Wilson says “It was the first time a scientific experiment was carried out at this altitude in the history of our state (N.C). I looked on the internet and I also think that we are the second high school in the nation to ever accomplish this. MIT did the experiment, but
they are a little more advanced than high school.” Jason Sickle, a former biology teacher at Murphy High School, came to Mr. Wilson with the idea after seeing the pictures posted on the internet from MIT’s experiment.
The balloon reached an altitude of fifteen miles. The position of the balloon was shown on Google Earth live as it lifted off and traveled a path across North and South Carolina and Georgia. “I don’t think people appreciate what it takes to get to that altitude and do the experiment and successfully get the package back to earth in one piece and be able to find it. It was potentially like looking for a needle in a haystack were it not for the Spot Tracker which gave out five to ten minute readings on latitude and longitude of the balloon.” The Spot Tracker is a tracking device which was donated to the class by Apparatus (www.apparatus.net) for the experiment. The tracker was tied to Google Earth and allowed the class to follow the balloon through coordinates and find it when it landed in Columbia, S.C. The helium required for the project was donated by AndyOxy, a welding company in Marble, N.C.
The pictures recovered from the experiment were NASA quality and included a picture of the curve of the Earth. Once the photos were downloaded from the experiment, the students couldn’t believe what they had done. “I will never forget the excitement generated by the kids. It gave them all a sense of self worth and confidence that they can accomplish great things,” says Wilson. In fact, several of the students have used the science experiment on college applications as an example of “what did you do in high school” and one student was able to receive a small scholarship because of his involvement with the experiment.
David Wilson earned his Bachelor of Science degree in general business from JSU in 1979 and his Master of Education in general science in 1991. He met his wife, Maria Ellis, at JSU where she earned her Bachelor of Science in psychology in 1989 and her Master of Education in social sciences in 1992. He says the best part about teaching for him “is being associated with kids like his current students who can dream and make things happen.”

Standing, from left are: Cadet Timothy Ray and Cadet Lt. Col. Jeremiah Bradford.
The Jacksonville State ROTC alumni chapter is working hard to support ROTC cadets that need financial assistance now and in the future. The chapter currently awards up to $1,000 per recipient on an annual academic basis. During the 20092010 school year, the chapter has been able to provide twenty of these scholarships to twenty cadets.
The alumni chapter and the recipients are indebted to the generous contributions of individuals, alumni, organizations and corporations who have provided funds to
keep this program alive such as Mr. Dewey Tate, Mrs. Pearl Williams, local chapters of the Military Officers Association, Elks Lodge 189, and the Ft. McClellan Credit Union.
To continue growing scholarship opportunities, the chapter also established a scholarship endowment in 2008. The fund currently has a balance of $12,000 with a hefty goal of $100,000. This goal can become a reality with the continued support of the 1,400 cadets commissioned through the JSU ROTC program since
1950 and the thousands of alumni who have experienced the ROTC program during their studies at JSU.
If you would like to be a part of this program, contributions can be made on line at www.jsu.edu/giving or mailed to the JSU Foundation, Inc. at 700 Pelham Road N, Jacksonville, AL, 36265. Please note the donation is for the ROTC Endowment Scholarship Fund.

NURSING SCHOLARSHIP
in memory of patricia bailey
Have you ever been fortunate enough to cross paths with one of those rare characters who enriches your world with friendship and laughter while challenging you to approach life with a greater sense of appreciation and compassion? For me, Pat Bailey was an example of such a character. Pat was a natural clinician and tireless patient advocate. Pat’s life changed dramatically when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and the world lost a truly unique individual when she succumbed to the disease a few years later.
In memory of Patricia C. Bailey, a scholarship fund has been established at Jacksonville State University to benefit a rising senior in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences. We have a lofty fundraising goal in order to ensure that this scholarship lasts forever, but I am confident that this can be achieved. When fully funded, this scholarship will provide
need-based tuition assistance to a nursing student who demonstrates exceptional character, a passion for patient care and advocacy, and commitment to the nursing profession… as Pat did. We invite you to be a part of this endeavor! Perhaps you knew Pat – or maybe you didn’t, but hearing of the impact she had on my life reminds you of someone who changed the course of your own. Perhaps you or someone you know has been touched by breast cancer and you would like to honor them by helping someone else. No gift is too small (or too large for that matter) and any support you may be able to contribute will be greatly appreciated, stewarded well, and fully tax deductible. Write “Patricia C. Bailey Scholarship” in the memo line of your check made payable to JSU Foundation, 700 Pelham Road North, Jacksonville, Alabama 36265.

Ms. Rowan’s Bell returned to JSU
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Stewart, ’51 recently donated Ms. Rowan’s bell to the JSU alumni association. The details of how the bell came into their possession are a little vague but they have kept the bell in safe keeping for the last sixty years. According to the Stewarts, Ms. Rowan, dorm mother for Daugette Hall, would ring the bell at curfew each night to signal the women to return to the dorm.
During a “raid” on Daugette Hall one evening, the bell turned up missing. Now, after all the years, the bell is back home on campus and will be displayed in the alumni house.

COACH HAROLD BROOKS honored
In August 2009, Coach Harold Brooks was honored with the Man & Youth award for his dedication and service to the Boys Club of Sylacauga. The National Organization of Boys & Girls Clubs of America considers this to be their most prestigious award, and presents it to the person who has dedicated the most time to working with the youth in their community. Coach Brooks has been serving the youth of Sylacauga for forty years. He has been involved with the Boys Club as a club member, volunteer, part-time worker, and executive director.
Mr. Brooks graduated from B.B. Comer High School. He went on to Jacksonville State University to attain a Bachelor of Science degree in business in 1966, while also playing on the baseball team.
After college, he started his career as the athletic director at the Boys Club of Chattanooga, but returned to Sylacauga after a couple of years to teach and coach at B.B. Comer High School. In 1971, he became director of the Boys Club of Sylacauga. He remained director until 2008 when his son, Jody Brooks, took over
his position. Harold is still involved at the Boys Club as the special projects coordinator.

JSU ALUMNI SERVE THE NATION through the catholic church
JackSonville State univerSity haS itS Share of notable alumni of whom we are proud. two of thoSe alumni are the reverend robert a. Spencer ’78 and newly ordained biShop f. richard Spencer ’73.
The brothers, Sylacauga natives, were members of JSU’s ROTC program and both majored in law enforcement. Rev. Robert A. Spencer says that neither of them planned on devoting their lives to the church. In fact, he served in the United States Marine Corps and Bishop F. Richard Spencer served in the United States Army.
Many of Rev. Spencer’s fellow JSU ROTC members say he impacted their lives for the better and they have many fond memories of him throughout their college years. Back then they referred to him as “Doc”
“Doc was a natural leader,” says Dave Bowles, a friend of Rev. Spencer who served with him in JSU’s ROTC program. “Although he had committed to the USMC, he was a staple in our ROTC program for his entire career at JSU. Doc had a huge impact on my life due to his character, belief in our nation and its principles, and his dedication to excellence.”
Gene Wisdom, another friend of Doc, agrees with Bowles. “What an incredible guy,” he stated. “Doc isn’t a ’do it halfway’ person,” he says. “He is full of life and along with a tremendous sense of humor, he is completely dedicated to whatever
he puts his life into. He was not only a devoted student, but…a leader among leaders.”
“Both (brothers) are natural leaders,” says John Armstrong, who has also served with the Spencers. “There is simply something special about that entire family.”
Rev. Spencer says he and his brother received the call to serve in the church at different times in their lives, but he says their religion has always been important to them.
“His faith is as much of his core as his integrity and strength of character,” Wisdom says of Rev. Spencer. Armstrong says that he was able to follow Rev. Spencer as he practiced his faith by giving Mass to many Marines. Armstrong, a Protestant, says that “he has taught me a great deal about faith, Catholicism and life.”
Over the years and through their faith, both men have served the nation admirably. Rev. Spencer has served in many areas throughout the world, including a tour in Iraq. He currently is a Navy Chaplain and is stationed at a naval base in San Diego, California. Bishop Spencer has also served throughout the world. One of his many outstanding services was to the victims of the Pentagon on 9/11. He was ordained a Bishop in September of this year and will now serve the spiritual needs of the military in all of Europe and Asia, including war zones.
2010-2011 Board of Visitors
College of Arts and Sciences
In 2009, the College of Arts and Sciences Board of Visitors was formed to assist the college in various ways. The board works together with the dean to advocate the mission of the college, meet or exceed the goals and objectives of the college to external constituencies, advise on areas of innovation and opportunity and assist in identifying and acquiring resources, among other things.
The board meets twice a year and has established the following goals to complete in 2011:
• A goal of $5,000 to go toward supporting the JSU Honors Program.
A special event featuring Pulitzer Prize winning author, Rick Bragg, is scheduled for September 16, 2011 with all proceeds going toward the program.
• A goal of $5,000 to fund a visiting artist to assist with the implementation of the new Master of Fine Arts program.
• A goal of $10,000 to advance student research by funding twenty student awards of $500 each to conduct research or deliver scholarly papers.
A leadership gift has already been given toward this goal.
Dr. J.E. Wade, Dean of the College, appreciates the board’s efforts, noting, “we are fortunate to have these outstanding alumni and friends of the university working on behalf of the College of Arts and Sciences. Their expertise, combined with their enthusiasm and commitment to JSU, will greatly benefit the development efforts of the college.”
Board members include JSU alumni, community leaders, and friends of the university.

Is Your Name Missing?
Listed in this report to donors are all contributions made during 2010 to Jacksonville State University through the JSU Foundation, the fundraising arm of the university. Every effort has been made to verify names for accuracy and completeness. If your name is not included and you think it should be, the following may explain the omission.
1. You made your gift directly to a school, department, etc., and not through the Jacksonville State University Foundation. Gifts that are not made through the Foundation are not included in our records and, hence, we are not aware of your gift. The Jacksonville State University Foundation was established in 1978 to receive all gifts to Jacksonville State University.
2. You made your gift prior to January 1, 2010, or after December 31, 2010.
3. You made a pledge instead of a gift. This listing includes only gifts received. If you made a pledge during 2010 but elected not to begin payment on it until after December 31, 2010, you will be listed on next year’s Honor Roll.
4. We goofed. Even though the listings were checked and rechecked, mistakes could have been made. We humbly apologize in advance. If you have questions, please contact the Foundation office at (256) 782-5306 or (800) 231-5291 extension 5306 so we can recheck our records and make the necessary corrections. Our e-mail address is jsufnd@jsu.edu.

Cash:
Checks ensure donors a proper record of their contributions. Make checks payable to the Jacksonville State University Foundation. The Foundation will provide receipts, which may be required by the IRS.
Securities:
Investment-grade stocks and bonds that have increased in value make excellent gifts, providing the securities have been held for the required period of time.
Real Estate:
Property that has appreciated in value makes an excellent gift because the full value of the gift is deductible by the donor, and the donor’s profit will not be taxable as capital gain.
DEFERRED GIFTS:
Life Insurance:
The cash surrender value of a life insurance policy is normally immediately tax deductible, and later gifts made to pay the premiums will also be deductible. More importantly, donors have the satisfaction of providing the Jacksonville State University Foundation with a more sizable gift.
Trust and Annuities:
Cash, marketable securities, or real property may be used to establish a charitable trust or annuity from which the donor would receive income for life. Upon his/her death, the assets would go to the Jacksonville State University Foundation. There are favorable income tax, capital gains tax, and estate tax treatments for such gifts.
Bequest:
Gifts willed to the Jacksonville State University Foundation are of mutual benefit to the Foundation and the donor.
Note: All gifts to the Jacksonville State University Foundation are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.

REAL ESTATE
Gifts of cash and securities are not the only options available to those who want to support the Jacksonville State University Foundation. An outright gift of real estate is often especially beneficial to some donors. Such a gift may benefit both the donor as well as the Jacksonville State University Foundation.
By making an outright gift of real property, donors avoid capital gains tax and receive an income tax charitable deduction of the property’s full fair market value (if the property is held long term, is not subject to a mortgage, and has not been subject to accelerated depreciation).
Examples of real estate gifts include personal residence, farm, vacation home, condominium, commercial building or acreage, etc. Donors may reserve the right to either live in the donated residence or to continue to farm the property during their lifetime and, if desired, the lifetime of a surviving spouse. Through such an arrangement, called a charitable life estate contract, the donor will be entitled to a current income tax deduction for a portion of the fair market value of the property.
When thinking about making a gift to the Jacksonville State University Foundation, evaluate the possibility of real estate. Mrs. Melanie Delap, Director of Development Services, can work with donors’ attorneys or tax advisors in exploring the benefits of this unique giving opportunity. Please call (256) 782-5306 or (800) 231-5291 extension 5306. The e-mail address is jsufnd@jsu.edu.
WHERE THERE’S A WILL, THERE’S A WAY!
Last will and testament is the cornerstone of a person’s estate plan. It is a lasting expression of support and affection for family and others the donor wishes to remember. If a person does not have a will or other estate plans, state government will decide how the property and other affairs are handled. Planning for one’s own demise isn’t easy, but decisions made now can later provide financial security for family, friends, and others.
When preparing a will, remember the Jacksonville State University Foundation. A donor can create a scholarship or other perpetual fund through a simple provision in his or her will. Such funds can provide a visible and enduring tribute. One’s actions today can leave a powerful legacy for tomorrow.
For further information please contact Mrs. Melanie Delap at JSU’s Office of Development Services (256) 782-5306 or (800) 231-5291 extension 5306. Mrs. Delap can be reached via e-mail at jsufnd@jsu.edu.
