President’s Perspective By Dr. Tim Summerlin
Fall 2007 Volume XI, Number 2
Schreiner University Announces Record Enrollment for the Second Year
When I wrote the most recent of these pieces, back in the winter, we at Schreiner were in the midst of revising our strategic statements on mission, vision and goals in order to orient ourselves for the next half decade. Now I don’t really suppose that you have been sitting around since then wondering, “What in the world have those folks at Schreiner accomplished in their strategic thinking?” I certainly hope you haven’t lost any sleep over the issue; however, it occurred to me that a word of follow-up on that topic would be in order, in the interest of perspective. In May, our board held a special retreat prior to its scheduled meeting, and incoming trustees also attended that session. For two days, we wrestled with hopes and realities under the excellent leadership of Dr. Richard Detweiler, president of the Great Lakes College Association. We worked in small groups and in role playing as well as in plenary session to identify our challenges and opportunities and to find consensus on what is most important in our future. In that retreat, our trustees fundamentally affirmed the conclusions of the planning group that had studied the issues throughout the year. They also offered continued on page 2

Darlene Bannister, registrar, directs students during fall registration. The 2007-08 student body is Schreiner’s largest ever at 982. The freshman class of 262 set a new record with an almost 8 percent increase over last year’s.
For the second year in a row, Schreiner University is celebrating an all-time record total enrollment and the biggest freshman class to date. Dr. Tim Summerlin, Schreiner president, announced that the 2007-2008 academic year saw 982 students on campus. That is a 5.6 percent increase over last year’s 930 enrollment number. The freshman class of 262 brought a 7.8 percent increase over last fall’s 243. Colleges and universities take official headcount on the 12th day of classes. “Every year I get excited when I see that Schreiner’s enrollment numbers have grown again,” said Summerlin. “The growth means we are succeeding in getting our name and reputation more widely appreciated. It means that we are on track to becoming the size institution we have planned for. It means that more students will have the opportunity to experience ‘learning by heart,’ the special, personalized brand of education that is our tradition. And I am particularly excited that this year’s enrollment growth means that we have filled our fine new residence facility, The Oaks. The way that this whole campus works with our admission and financial aid team to reach these goals is superb.” Peg Layton, vice president for enrollment and student services and dean of students, is also happy with the new numbers. “We are thrilled to see our enrollment growth trend continuing and to welcome the largest freshman class in the history of the institution,” she said. “Regardless of size, our commitment to personal attention and ‘learning by heart’ is something that will never change at Schreiner.” continued on page 2
CAMPUS NEWS
Record Enrollment continued from page 1 In its commitment to maintaining its 13:1 student/faculty ratio, Schreiner has added new full-time faculty to balance the increased enrollment. “During the spring and summer 2007 we hired four new full-time faculty, one each in communication, English, exercise science and information systems. This will keep our student to faculty ratio at 13 to 1. We will continue to add full-time faculty positions each year as we grow to our intended student population of 1,200,” said Dr. Mike Looney, Schreiner’s provost and vice president for academic affairs. “Of course, growth means change,” Summerlin added. “Search for new faculty, review of all our programs to ensure that we are meeting our students’ needs, attention to retention of the freshman class and planning for additional facility needs, among other things. But we are comfortable with that kind of change here at Schreiner. And we relish the opportunity to create many more relationships with our students, creating a more powerful learning community.” In addition to the impact the increased enrollment will have on campus life, it will also have an effect on the community at large. Fred Gamble, Schreiner University vice president for administration and finance, said the additional students will add $135,000 in direct spending to the local economy, a sum that will multiply in its economic impact.

chreiner University’s Office of Advancement is pleased to announce the addition of Phyllis Whittington and Allen Boatwright to its staff. Whittington is the new director of development and Boatwright comes aboard as associate director of major gifts.
This is Boatwright’s second time as a member of the advancement staff. For five-and-a-half years, he was associate director of alumni affairs and director of the Schreiner Former Students Association. He has worked for Heritage Christian School in Fredericksburg for the past year, and has extensive experience with nonprofits, education and development, including working with The Salvation Army. Whittington comes to Schreiner after 16 years with the American Cancer Society, where she most recently served as regional vice president of field operations for South Texas. She also served as regional director for ACS, in Harlingen and as San Antonio Metro executive director.

President’s Perspective continued from page 1 a series of observations and questions for the campus to ponder before submitting a final statement of mission, vision, values and goals for the board’s consideration in October. The characteristic comment from those who participated in the retreat was, “This was a valuable experience for me. I really see the complexities of some of these choices for the first time.” Along with the energizing experience of having our governing board working with faculty and administration on the future of the University, one of the most meaningful things that I took from the retreat was the final charge from our facilitator. Dr. Detweiler reminded us of three things: • You are not alone. Hundreds of peer institutions are working on the same issues. • Don’t forget that what you are about is making a difference with individuals and with society. Your joy comes from that fact, not from a balanced budget. • You should feel a great deal of pride. Schreiner University is a remarkable place, and you have made a true difference. Needless to say, we have followed through on our trustees’ request, and the formulation of our strategic mission statement should be a fact later this fall. Our trustees all agreed that the 2

retreat experience was so valuable that from now on each May we will use educational time for considering strategic issues. Of course, those efforts are always more exciting when they occur within the context of the kind of growth that you can read about elsewhere in this “Inside Schreiner.”

Coach Rides 175 Miles for Charity When someone works on the schedule of the school year– whether faculty, staff or student– you’d think they kick back and relax a bit during that long summer break.
Volleyball Coach John Greenlee
Apparently relaxing right away is not an option if you’re Schreiner volleyball coach John Greenlee. He kick-started his summer break by riding his bike 175 miles in Utah to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, along with his parents Dr. John and Annabel Greenlee.
“It’s the first time I’ve done it,” he said, “but my parents have done it the last couple of years.” It might be Greenlee’s first race for MS, but it’s by no means his first time on a bike. “I try to bike most places around town,” Greenlee, who is starting his fourth year at Schreiner, said. “I bike to work and to stores. It works out to about 100 to 150 miles a week in spring and summer; less in fall and winter. The whole work thing gets in the way,” he said, grinning. Among Greenlee’s reasons for participating are that his father is a neurologist and his wife’s stepmother was recently diagnosed with MS. The NMSS sponsors several two-day bike tours—designated MS 150—annually, including a couple in Texas, according to Coach
Greenlee. The BP MS 150 runs from Houston to Austin (www.ms150.org/ms150/); the Valero MS 150 goes from San Antonio to Corpus Christi (http://biketothebeach. ms150.org/btb). In Utah, Greenlee rode with a group from his parents’ church, All Saints Episcopal Church in Salt Lake City. The group, Saints and Spinners, were among 3,000 riders who raised more than $1.5 million that weekend for people living with MS. Greenlee and his father rode 175 miles in the two-day event; his mother biked one day for 40 miles. “It was easier than I thought it would be,” Greenlee said. “The course they chose was rather flat—something you don’t get around here. The altitude was a bit of a problem, but less so by the time I rode the race because I went out there a week early.” Greenlee’s wife, Vanessa, who teaches Spanish at Tivy High School, is also a bike rider. Although she was unable to make the Utah event this year, Greenlee said both of them are planning to ride together next year. For Greenlee’s account of his experience, go to www.greenleetx. net/MS_150.html. For more information about MS 150 events in 2008, go to the NMSS Web site at www.nationalmssociety.org and click on “Bike Rides.” The Schreiner volleyball season began August 31 with a match against Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio. Go to http://athletics.schreiner.edu/Volleyball/default.htm for the season schedule and team information.
Basketball Coach Looks Forward to First Season Drew Miller has been Schreiner’s new men’s basketball coach since April 2007, inheriting a team that was 6 and 19 last year and has lost its three leading scorers. Miller, however, is optimistic not only about the upcoming season, but also about the Schreiner basketball program overall. And he has reason to be. Miller brings to his new job solid experience leading championship basketball teams as both a coach and a player. He’s looking forward to continuing that trend at Schreiner.
Basketball Coach Drew Miller “I want to build an entire program here,” Miller said. “We have a tremendous opportunity as a basketball program to establish a new tradition at Schreiner University. I’m looking forward to the challenge.” Miller said the transition into his present position has been smooth. “It’s been exciting to work with athletic director Ron Macosko and the rest of the administration,” he said. Miller has been involved in recruiting freshman players and said he feels “very positive and encouraged about the incoming freshman we’ve been able to recruit since I was hired.” Miller has 12 4
Inside Schreiner
returning players and at least six committed freshman recruits on this year’s team. Play begins in November. “I don’t want to measure this season in wins and losses,” he said. “Of course, I want a winning team, but will we have that this season? I don’t know. I can’t control that. All I can control is that I work hard.” Miller expects his players to work hard, too—on and off the court. “The first year, the biggest thing is a philosophical change, getting players to buy into the hard work and integrity it takes to build a good basketball program. Our basketball team will have good, young basketball talent, who also are great people who will work hard and represent Schreiner well on and off the court.” It has been a pretty exciting year for Miller so far. “In addition to getting this job, I’m also recently engaged,” Miller said with a grin. “We’re getting married in September and hoping to buy a house in Boerne. I’ve sealed my number one recruit for life.”

Residence Hall Opening Delayed by Rain This summer’s heavier than usual rains held up construction and delayed the opening of The Oaks, Schreiner’s new residence complex, requiring the University to find temporary housing for some students. “The upper-class students who are assigned to The Oaks complex were housed together in a local hotel until they could occupy their campus residences,” said Peg Layton, vice president for enrollment and student services and dean of students. “We had staff living in the hotel and available to assist students on a 24-hour basis. Students continued to utilize the campus dining services for their meals and transportation was provided for those who did not have their own vehicles.” According to Dean Layton, the students took the slight housing hitch in stride.
W
hen Schreiner senior Abe Garcia needed to find a job to help pay for his education last spring, he didn’t have to look far. In fact, he didn’t even have to leave campus. From February through the middle of May, Garcia worked with Richard Bailey and Collegiate Contracting, building Schreiner’s newest apartment complex, The Oaks.
Schreiner Senior Abe Garcia
Garcia has experience in the building trade. He has worked for his father’s company, ASE Construction, out of Houston. He worked on The Oaks before, after and sometimes between classes. “I worked about six hours a day,” he said, “although sometimes it seemed like more.” One part of the project really stands out for him.
Work has been steady on dryer days and The Oaks will open around the middle of September.
“When they were pouring concrete, I was in charge of the last pour at three in the morning,” Garcia said. “At 2:45 a.m., my friends were still out partying and I was heading to work.
“Crews were working all through Labor Day weekend laying carpet, completing AC connections, cleaning the roadway, laying seed netting in the detention pond and cleaning rooms over in The Oaks,” said Dr. Tim Summerlin, president of Schreiner.
“I think it’s taught me discipline,” he added, “I’ve learned a lot.”
The next steps toward completion are putting in the sidewalks, laying sod, moving and installing furniture and final cleanup. The University is planning a celebration for the completion of The Oaks and to thank it’s first residents for their patience. According to Dean Layton, the celebration will include a campuswide cookout and ribbon-cutting ceremony, and will take place after everyone is settled in their new accommodations. The Rev. Gini Norris-Lane is working on a dedication ceremony for the event.
This was Garcia’s first time working while he went to school, although he worked one summer as a bank teller in Waller, Tex., and as a student caller for Schreiner’s annual Phonathon. Garcia is an international business major with a minor in Spanish and will graduate this December. He has also played on the Mountaineer soccer team since his freshman year. And what are his post-Schreiner plans? “I ended up at Schreiner because (soccer) Coach Paul Hayes recruited me,” he said. “I’m really glad I came here. As for the future, well, I am a man of many missions and the future is hard to predict; however, I am feeling really strongly about staying in the construction industry.”

Schreiner University’s Hill Country College Fund kicked off its 30th year with a donor luncheon in the ballroom of the Floyd and Kathleen Cailloux Campus Activity Center. Adding to the excitement of the event, Hill Country College Fund campaign leaders announced Wednesday at the luncheon that $113,000 has been raised in advanced gifts toward this year’s $550,000 goal. HCCF provides need-based tuition grants to Schreiner students from Kerr, Gillespie, Bandera, Kendall, Kimble, Edwards and Real counties. “We are very excited to celebrate 30 years of making college dreams a reality for our local students,” said Jennifer Farhoudi, associate director of development for annual giving and Hill Country College Fund. “I am inspired by the work that our community has been able to accomplish through the Hill Country College Fund. This year more than 300 students will be able to attend college because of HCCF grants made possible through the generosity of our donors. College would not be possible for many of these students without the aid of HCCF.” James Avery was one of the event’s speakers. James Avery Craftsman Inc. has long been a supporter of HCCF, and contributed $30,000 to the fund this year. “We have a deep commitment to giving back to the communities that have been so supportive of James Avery over the years,” said Avery. “But we reserve a special place for our hometown of Kerrville and we’re especially proud to support Schreiner University and higher education right here in the Hill Country.” For more information about HCCF, call Jennifer Farhoudi at 830-792-7208 or visit the Schreiner Web site at www.schreiner. edu/giving/hccf.html.

Restorative Justice Conference Held at Schreiner This Summer “Real Life, Real Questions, Real Answers,” the first-ever National Conference on Restorative Justice, took place at Schreiner University June 24-27. It was attended by more than 300 people. The conference was co-sponsored by Schreiner, the University of Texas at San Antonio Department of Criminal Justice, the Ghost Ranch National Conference Center of Santa Fe and Abiquiu, N.M., and the Source of Light Center at University Presbyterian Church, San Antonio. “What was most interesting to me about this national conference was the wide variety of issues and concerns that were represented by the presenters and the participants,” said
the Rev. Frank Seaman, Schreiner’s director of church relations, who helped facilitate the conference. “Restorative justice is a broad and far-reaching concept and attendees included jailers, probation officers, church workers, judges, social workers, victims of violence and even previously incarcerated offenders. All of them agreed that the current justice system was failing, and they were seeking ways to make it more just and right for everyone involved—to move toward a system that seeks restoration and responsibility rather than retribution.” You can find out more about restorative justice on the Web at www.restorativejustice.org.
Schreiner University does not discriminate in admissions, educational programs, extra-curricular programs or employment against any individual on the basis of that individual’s race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, veteran status or ethnic origin.
