President’s Perspective By Dr. Tim Summerlin
Inevitably, summer is too short (even with the 100-degree days we have enjoyed this year). Set aside for a moment summer school, the camps and other groups we host, and the essential down time enabling maintenance and facility upgrades to be completed. It is too short a time to sift through the previous year’s data essential to assessing our academic programs, finances, recruiting and other tasks and then to incorporate what we learn to improve in the coming year. It is too short to stretch our collective minds beyond the present and ask questions about the next five and 10 years. Yet we get these things accomplished. You may rightly say that such efforts are not our main mission, but they are essential to understanding that mission and sharpening our ability to accomplish it. The famous analyst of American corporations Peter Drucker is quoted as saying that any enterprise can distill its self-assessment into two questions: “What business are we in?” and “How’s business?” Those questions capture well the reflective work occupying much of the summer on campus. Although higher education comprises only one modest stream in the flood of debate that has occurred during the last year since economic meltdown triggered a string of bailouts, bankruptcies and economic stimulus actions, we have had plenty of reason to ask ourselves fundamental questions. Never in my experience have we witnessed a recession with such a sweeping impact on the whole
Schreiner Sees Enrollment Increase Fourth Year in a Row Schreiner University recently announced that it has a record enrollment for the fourth year in a row. SU has a total student body of 1,084, which is a seven percent increase from last year. This year sees an incoming freshman class of 289, up from last fall’s 266. “The record freshman class and record enrollment growth of this size are noteworthy any time; in the current economic climate, they are astonishing,” Dr. Tim Summerlin, Schreiner’s president, said. “As Schreiner University becomes more widely known, prospects who visit our campus continue to be impressed by the exceptionally open and supportive culture they encounter,” Summerlin said. “Second, the dynamism of our academic programs is being more widely recognized. These factors will not diminish, only grow, so we are enthusiastic about the future as well as the present.” “I salute the admission and financial aid team whose efforts are at the heart of this accomplishment.” The record enrollment is another
step in reaching the University’s longterm goal of a student body of 1,200. That growth is evidenced in other areas besides enrollment, in part, by the recent opening of Faulkner Hall, a freshman residence hall, and the Mountaineer Fitness Center. Peg Layton, vice president for enrollment and student services and dean of students at Schreiner, also praised the University’s team effort. “On the front lines of the recruitment effort were our admission and financial aid staff who have worked with families for months, sometimes years, to make it possible for their students to be here,” said Layton. “Our coaching staff and our orientation team also played key roles. But at a small private college like Schreiner, significant enrollment growth is possible only when the entire campus community is involved in recruitment and retention, including our faculty, who are not only educators but also mentors for our students.” Schreiner’s increasing enrollment is also good news for the community at large. It is estimated that the University’s economic impact on the Kerrville area is more than $72 million.

Helping the Heroes: SU Student at Center for the Intrepid Schreiner exercise science major Ashley Eubanks spent three weeks of her summer vacation at Brooke Army Medical Center, shadowing Major Stuart Campbell around the Center for the Intrepid. That might not sound like a big deal, but her time there was two years in the making. The Center for the Intrepid is a $50 million rehabilitation center at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, that opened in 2007. It was designed for military men and women wounded in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. The center was named for the aircraft carrier Intrepid, which served in World War II, as one of NASA’s primary recovery ships, in three tours of duty off Vietnam and in submarine surveillance in the North Atlantic. The Intrepid is now the home of The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City. Around the time the center opened, Dr. Juan Gonzalez, associate professor of exercise science, managed to get a tour of CFI for one of his classes. It all came to pass in a somewhat roundabout—not to say byzantine—way. When Dr. Gonzalez first came to Schreiner two years ago he offered a running camp. Last year, someone who knew the runners who attended that first camp referred him and Schreiner to Betty Welsh, who was looking for fitness interns for the Stablewood Springs Resort in Hunt. Welsh is married to Air Force Maj. Gen. Mark A. Welsh III, who provided a contact with Maj. Campbell. Dr. Gonzalez said that it wasn’t easy getting a tour, but persistence paid off. “While we were there, I asked if it were possible to get an internship for one of our pre-physical therapy students. 2
Inside Schreiner
I found out that the only students they allow there are graduate students from the Army PT program at Baylor.” According to Major Stuart M. Campbell, officer-in-charge at CFI, the center’s chief clinical education mission is focused on graduate-level students in physical therapy, although he does accept undergraduates on a case-by-case basis. Undaunted, Dr. Gonzalez got in touch with CFI again this past spring, asking to bring Ashley, “one of our brightest pre-physical therapy students,” for an interview with Maj. Campbell. Ashley spent three weeks at CFI in May. “Having a professor take the time to market his student made the difference,” Maj. Campbell said. “Primarily I observed, getting insights into the program and the world of prosthetics,” Ashley said. “People from all the armed forces branches come there for assistance. In the time I spent there, I met not only some of the sharpest physical therapists, but also some of the most incredible people who were patients.” From Maj. Campbell’s standpoint, “Ashley’s time here was rewarding in two ways. Ashley was given the opportunity to see wounded warriors during their rehabilitation and was able to appreciate the amount of hard work and determination that is required for these service members to
return to high levels of function. The military personnel being treated here got the opportunity to see that their contemporaries might not all serve with them, but are still involved and committed to helping them.” Ashley, who grew up in an Air Force family, has lived in Boerne since she was in grade school. She is a former acrobatic gymnast who took the bronze medal twice at nationals and is currently a judge for the sport. She said she became interested in physical therapy because of some of her own injuries. She volunteers at The Saddle Light Center for Therapeutic Horsemanship in Selma, Texas, and is hoping to go on to graduate school at either Baylor or the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. She will graduate from Schreiner in May. She is very satisfied with her time at Schreiner and how it has helped her realize her dreams. “I came here because of the location,” she said, “but I love it here because of the professors’ devotion to the students. It’s a great university.” And that isn’t the end of the story. Maj. Campbell’s daughter Anna entered Schreiner as a freshman this fall.

She spent three weeks this summer at the Center for the Intrepid rehab center for military personnel.

Local Couple Find New Direction at Schreiner
N
o one can ever go back and change an earlier decision or action, but with sufficient courage and motivation, any of us can start over and change our futures. As Winston Churchill once remarked, “There is nothing wrong with change, as long as it is in the right direction.” The Rev. Chuck Kimball ’04 and his wife Dolores know all about changing in the right direction. Both became college students in mid-life, selling a car repair business to make that change possible. Chuck went on to earn a Master of Divinity degree from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. He served as a Commissioned Lay Pastor at the Presbyterian church in Yorktown, Texas. “I had completed Mission Presbytery’s Lay Leadership Institute classes, led by none other than Schreiner campus ministry’s own Judy Ferguson prior to beginning at Schreiner,” he said. In June 2009, he was ordained a Minister of Word and Sacrament at First Presbyterian Church in Kerrville and is now pastor at First Presbyterian Church in El Campo, Texas, some 225 miles from Kerrville, where Dolores Kimball is living and working while finishing her degree in English. Chuck Kimball took one class at Butler County Community College in Eldorado, Kan., in the mid ’70s, transferring to Schreiner’s New College in the late ’90s. New College was a partnership between Schreiner and the Kerrville Independent School District to provide college-level night classes to local citizens. Dr. William Woods was the director of New College. “I remember Chuck fondly from those early days out there at the old Tivy High School,” Woods, now dean of the School of Liberal Arts, said. “He was in my communications course and from the start I knew he was headed for big things. He is just a great guy,

spectrum of colleges and universities. Community colleges hit by declining local property values and small, tuition-dependent colleges are familiar victims of economic downturns. But this time even the most prestigious, most wealthy universities were forced to retrench and reassess the future. How will the recession and its aftermath affect the way we price higher education? What impact will it have on the way we educate? Who will attend our colleges, and how will we distribute available aid? What programs should we offer to meet the needs of this 21st century America? How do we demonstrate that we truly accomplish the kind of learning we make claim
a perfect example of the very best that a program like New College offered.” Kimball took night classes “fall, spring and summer” while running his auto repair business during the day. “I took the leap at the behest of [former campus minister] Dr. Loren Scribner, selling my business in 2001 and starting as a fulltime student in the spring semester of 2002.” He worked part-time as a pastoral assistant to senior citizens at First Presbyterian Church in Kerrville while attending Schreiner, and Dolores worked full time. She is now a Schreiner senior and plans to go on to graduate school and a career teaching in college. “Both my husband and daughter received an education at Schreiner and I guess I didn’t like feeling left out,” Dolores said. “As Schreiner students, my daughter’s and husband’s enthusiasm was quite contagious. It wasn’t just the educational aspect that was so intriguing, but an education at Schreiner. They frequently tell me to treasure my time at Schreiner, and treasure that time is exactly what I do.” Chuck said that while at Schreiner he fell in love with learning. “I actually came to Schreiner not to get an education, but to get a degree that would allow me to attend seminary where I intended to get an education,” Chuck said. “I immediately began to encounter professors who stimulated my long dormant thinking processes and who challenged and expected some form and measure of critical and intellectual response. “I have made friendships that are enduring, I have had ideas and ethics implanted that affect the ways in which I believe, behave, and lead, and I have made some of the best memories of my life by attending Schreiner College and University.”
to? Those are some of the questions belonging to summer assessment and planning activity. Let me share some key conclusions that have come from that process in this summer of 2009. First, I have been proud of the way this institution has responded to the once-a-decade process of self-study mandated by SACS, our regional accreditor, including the final report being submitted next month for consideration in December by the Commission on Colleges. Second, I have been impressed with the way that members of the Schreiner community have handled the challenges of the last year, understanding the value of patience and prudence in tough times.
Third, I have been proud of Schreiner’s tremendous progress as an institution in recent years, progress that has enabled us to maintain our forward momentum when many sister institutions have had to cut back where overextended. And, finally, I celebrate how creative trustees and campus leaders are in embracing a changing higher education scene, recognizing it as an opportunity to imagine the future rather than a threat from which to retreat. So, we will let go of summer, even if we wish there were another week or so to prepare, because there is great work ahead.

SU Soccer Expands with Reserves This year, for the first time, a Schreiner University soccer team will have a reserve squad. The men’s soccer team will have 44 players, 20 of them as reserves. “It gives you a way to work players at different levels and helps retention,” said head coach Paul Hayes. “It gives us a better chance to build from the bottom up. You have more players coming back who know what you want and what the university expects of them. We look first for guys who fit Schreiner as a whole.” According to Athletics Director Ron Macosko, the retention rate for student athletes is 97 percent, a figure that is as important to the university as a whole as it is to the individual teams. Last year, athletes made up more than 25 percent of the student body. The two groups will practice separately, but back to back, which means a lot more time on the field for Coach Hayes, who said that’s where he likes
to be, working with his athletes. “There will be movement between the two squads,” he added, “due to grades, attitude, skills, things like that.” He said he went to Macosko with the idea and they decided that it would take a minimum of 40 players to make it work. “We had the numbers,” Hayes said. “We’ve got 23 new players coming in this year.” The reserve proposal was then approved by Schreiner President Dr. Tim Summerlin and the Schreiner Board of Trustees. “Admissions helped us find potential recruits,” Hayes said, “and they were great with helping us stay in touch with the recruits and—really big time—getting the students to fill out paperwork and getting them here.” Schreiner teams play in the NCAA Division III, the American Southwest Conference. Division III schools cannot offer scholarships to student
athletes, so Schreiner athletes really do “play for the love of the game,” as both Macosko and Hayes pointed out. Having a reserve team means more people can train and play, which in turn helps with recruitment. “I am excited about the opportunity to help bring quality students to Schreiner,” Hayes said. “It’s going to be fun.” SU fields junior varsity squads in baseball and men’s basketball.

competitor will serve her very well and will be a model for our young runners. We are very excited to have her as our new head coach.”
Daniel Perez is a graduate of Texas Lutheran University in Seguin, where he was a student assistant basketball coach. He is the new assistant coach for Schreiner men’s basketball under head coach Drew Miller. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology. Perez came to Schreiner from New Braunfels Christian Academy with a school record 21-7 season in his last year there. He also will be responsible for the junior varsity team.
Sanchez-Neslony received a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish from Angelo State University and will finish her Master of Education degree here at Schreiner.
“Coach Perez has done a tremendous job in stabilizing the JV program and providing strong support for our varsity players,” Ron Macosko, Athletics Director, said. “He is a great complement to Coach Miller and a highly-valued member of our team.” The Schreiner women’s cross-country team has a new head coach, Lorin Sanchez-Neslony. Still an active runner, SanchezNeslony is a former high school track star at Ozona High School in Texas. She received All-American recognition in track six times in college at South Plains College, Levelland, Texas, as well as First Team All-American in cross-country and Academic All-American. Macosko expects Sanchez-Neslony’s competitive success to be a real asset for her Schreiner team. “Coach Neslony is charged with further developing our young women’s cross-country team,” Macosko. “Her background as a successful
Matt Wallis takes on head coaching duties for Schreiner’s women’s basketball team this year, coming to us from The University of Texas-Dallas, where he was assistant women’s basketball coach. He and UT-Dallas head coach Polly Thompson took that team to the top of the ASC East Division, landing them on the national top 25 teams list. “Coach Wallis comes to Schreiner with a great deal of experience as both a head coach in the men’s game and a highly successful assistant coach for several strong programs on the women’s side,” Macosko said. “He knows the American Southwest Conference extremely well and knows what it takes to succeed at our level and in the ASC. We think he is the ideal choice for leading our program to heights not seen since Dr. Tom Wells led our programs in the ’80s and early ’90s.” Wallis has a Bachelor of Arts degree in physical education from Austin College and a Master of Science degree in kinesiology from Texas A&M-Commerce. He has coached on both the high school and college levels.
