e were constantly surrounded by sound. Beyond the audible sounds in our day-to-day lives, there were unheard echoes of past experiences and those who walked in these places before us. We remembered locations on campus as places of laughter, tears or chatter, but each place carried similar audible memories to the countless students who previously walked these same halls and pathways. Harding remembered its past, as did we. We brought our experiences with us from our different walks of life, coming together in one melodious sound as we made ourselves part of this place. This year we felt and recognized more than just the echoes from the past and those moving into the future. Our present echoes became very important as the Harding community was dispersed across the world. The normalcy of campus life quickly changed to a new normal of online classes and staying connected through virtual means. Simple interactions between friends became more important as our echoes now spread not just on Searcy’s campus but around the world. Though this school year did not end as expected, we each learned how much of an impact our experiences and our actions have on those around us. We knew that we echoed in Harding just as Harding echoed in us.

KELLEY dedication recipient

K

aren Kelley, assistant professor of nursing, advocated for the betterment and education of impoverished communities through her classes. During her 25th year teaching at Harding, Kelley taught community health nursing and culture of poverty courses.

Before joining the Harding faculty, Kelley worked in Memphis, Tennessee, as a care coordinator at one of Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital’s outpatient facilities. While working at Le Bonheur, she administered home IV therapy and coordinated financial logistics of helping patients return home and core education of home-health nurses.

Kelley said her passion to advocate for impoverished communities started at Le Bonheur, where she was introduced to people from all socioeconomic classes and deep inner-city poverty.

“I’ve just always had a soft spot for folks who are having trouble and are more vulnerable,” Kelley said.

Kelley said she grew up in a low-income household. Her mother worked in a factory and modeled a positive work ethic for her and encouraged her to receive an education, which Kelley said was not always the case in low-income homes.

To illustrate poverty, she told students her family did not install indoor plumbing until she was 5 years old. Kelley also described the varying differences in opinion that arose while discussing impoverished communities.

“It is sort of an ‘us and them’ discussion at times,” Kelley said.

“So, I just want to make it clear from the beginning when I talk about that — I am ‘them,’ and now I’m ‘us.’”

Senior nursing major Ally Davis, who was a student in Kelley’s community health nursing class in fall 2019, said Kelley’s class was unlike any other nursing curriculum. She said that instead of having a single patient assigned to each student like in other classes, each student’s patient was an entire community.

Davis said Kelley was the perfect teacher for the class because of her work with the local homeless population through a nonprofit organization in Searcy.

“Her life is engrossed in community health,” Davis said.

“She is deeply involved with Mission Machine and the homeless population in general in Searcy. She’s instrumental in getting the warming center [at First United Methodist Church] facilitated.”

Senior interdisciplinary studies major Spencer Wright, a student in Kelley’s fall 2019 culture of poverty class, said the class focused on material poverty.

“The cycle of material poverty is vicious,” Wright said. “It’s expensive to be poor. It’s very easy to get into a really tough situation when you don’t have resources.”

Wright said Kelley hoped the class inspired students to learn more about the culture of poverty and work to positively reform the institutions in place to further aid impoverished communities.

He said before meeting Kelley, he first heard her described as a godly woman. “[After] getting to be around her this semester, … I have no qualms with that assertion,” Wright said. “I see her love in the way that she continually moves toward people that are in poverty.”

Wright said while Kelley worked to better the lives of impoverished people, he believed she would say she was the one who benefited from the relationship. story by Caleb Manor

ST U D ENT LIFE Daily life on campus was more than just academic and athletic achievements. It was the big moments: Spring Sing wins, mission trips and CAB concerts. It was the simple interactions: the laughter, greetings and small talk. Even after leaving Harding, students remembered these big moments and simple interactions that shaped each individual experience.

history

Ju Go Ju, Ko Jo Kai, Sub T-16 and friends had one of the largest Spring Sing shows in the production’s history.

S

pring Sing was a tradition treasured by many Harding students. Social club members and friends alike participated in the annual competition with visuals, songs and skits.

In spring 2019, women’s social clubs Ju Go Ju (JGJ) and Ko Jo Kai (KJK), and men’s social club Sub T-16 (Sub T) and friends combined to form one of the largest groups to ever participate in the program.

Junior Garrison Hendrix, Sub T member, was a director of the show and said the support from all three clubs contributed to the size of the show.

“I think a large part of why we had so many people interested in being a part of our show was that our clubs believed and supported us directors from the start,” Hendrix said. “Ju Go Ju, Kojies and Sub T all wanted to do anything to help the show — with props, costumes and music — but most people wanted to be on stage. So the directors thought, the more the merrier!”

Sophomore Alyssa Kohl, JGJ member, spoke to the social dynamic among the participants in the show.

“None of us really realized how many of us there were until we were in our costumes at dress rehearsal,” Kohl said. “There were a lot of people, actually, who weren’t in our clubs, The three clubs worked together to produce a show called “No Ifs, Ants or Buts,” all of the show.

“Having a large number of people in the show played to our theme and story,” Hendrix said. “We wanted the audience to feel like ants were just pouring out from every part of the Benson.”

Cindee Stockstill, producer of theatre and Spring Sing, said the ants’ show was enjoyable

design goes global in

GHANA

Design and engineering students used their academic perspectives to devise solutions with Ghanaian leaders in summer 2019.

S

ix Harding students from the interior design and engineering departments traveled to Yendi, Ghana, from July 25 to Aug. 6, 2019, to host a workshop dedicated to solving a social issue by way of the design process.

The Yendi community leaders proposed the idea of solving a social issue instead of a physical design issue, which the Harding students tackled over the three-day workshop.

Political leaders, chiefs and youths of the Yendi community attended the workshop.

Senior interior design major Joanna Roberts said the social issue presented was the youth of Ghana joining a group called Sakawa, which required members to commit internet fraud.

“We called them the youth instead of Sakawa, just because Sakawa has a negative demeanor to it,” Roberts said. “A lot of the times, it’s just like saying gangsters.”

Roberts said the Sakawa were typically between 17 and 20 years old. The youth in Yendi did not have the ability to further their education, so they turned to Sakawa as an easy way to make money.

“Our goal was to facilitate a workshop or meeting with a group of leaders in the community, to help teach them or show them a better way to collaboratively solve problems,” Amy Cox, assistant professor of art and design, said.

The design process was a creative approach that produced solutions to both tangible and intangible issues. Cox said the Harding students narrowed this multistep process down to three questions for the workshop: “What is the challenge?”

“What could we try?” and “What works?” The Harding group left the third question unanswered and opened it to

Junior mechanical engineering major Tim Partlow described the distinct relationship between engineering and interior design.

“Oftentimes in engineering, architecture and interior this was actually a great experience for me because I got to see how the design process works outside of just pure The department of engineering hosted workshops for between interior design and engineering. Both departments taught students about the design process. The engineering group normally traveled to Haiti, but in 2019, chose Ghana due to increased security concerns in Haiti that year.

“We are coming to guide you, to teach you how to move through the process, to help you come up with solutions for your own community.”

“The first thing we say is, ‘We’re not the experts on this,’” Roberts said. “‘We are coming to guide you, to teach you how to move through the process, to help you come up with solutions for your own community, and hopefully later on you can do this yourself with other issues and problems that you have.’” story by Audrey Jackson

D

uring spring break 2019, a group of Harding students went on a week-long mission trip to Honduras through the Journey Mission Camp organization. The group distributed supplies, built cots, and conducted vacation Bible school sessions for the local children, but they were unprepared to compete in a game of basketball on their trip.

Wilmer Espinoza, the man who led Journey Mission Camp, surprised the group one evening with an arrangement for the students to play basketball with a local community team. The game started as an ordinary pickup game but grew as more people lined up to play against the visiting Americans.

When the game ended and the groups parted ways, the Hondurans challenged the Harding students to a rematch. They planned another game, and when they met again, the Hondurans brought food, cameras and crowds of people. The simple game of pickup basketball had become a full competition complete with referees and substitute players. The game was broadcast on television, and the Harding students wore their mission shirts as makeshift jerseys. Senior Cameron Dodick said he believed the game strengthened the relationships between the mission team and locals in a way routine conversation would not have.

“I feel like we’ve built relationships with these people,” Dodick said. “Even the kids that were there were watching us, they were cheering outside.”

The game concluded with a victory for the Harding students, and the Hondurans presented them with a handmade trophy. Senior Elaine Savage said she was grateful to be part of the mission trip.

“We went to go and serve those people, but they taught me so much in the way. … They are so hospitable and so kind,” Savage said. “And they came … and served us, and so I’m very grateful that the Lord allowed me to experience that and that he taught me all of those things through that.”

Senior Marissa (Countess) Longley, a co-leader of the trip, said she hoped more Harding students would take the opportunity to participate in missions and serve others.

“You can’t go and change the entire world, but I believe that you can change the world for one person.”

“You can’t go and change the entire world, but I believe that you can change the world for one person,” Longley said. “And so whether that’s through a basketball game or sitting down with someone and talking with them via a translator or your own skills, I think expanding and encountering other cultures and God’s people is a really good perspective and look into heaven.” story by Elizabeth Shores

Luke Humphrey and Lindsey Bender co-directed Impact for the second year in a row.

J

unior Lindsey Bender and senior Luke Humphrey made an impact on summer orientation history when they returned as new student orientation co-directors for a second time.

Humphrey said he and Bender never imagined they would serve as codirectors for a second time until the subject came up in casual conversation.

“The more we thought about our time as co-directors, the more we wanted to do the whole thing over again,” Humphrey said.

Caitlin Denton, assistant director of First Year Experience, said the University College team did not usually consider previous co-directors as eligible applicants for another year of directing, but they made an exception for Bender and Humphrey because of their work ethic.

“Luke and Lindsey are set apart because of their passion for this job and their love for incoming students and for Harding,” Denton said.

“You can tell they believe in the Harding experience, and they want each student to have an awesome college experience as well.”

Bender said she believed co-directors were important roles in Impact and Bison Bound experiences because it was the directors’ duty to serve as ambassadors for the student body.

“When you are a new student coming [to] a new school, it is important to hear from professors, administrators and other faculty, but it also means so much to be able to hear from fellow students who have been in the same place,” Bender said. “Luke and I were able to invite people into our student community and say, ‘We want you to be a part of us.’”

18

Humphrey said a co-director should be someone who demonstrated love, showed up for people and reiterated involvement. He said the leadership position allowed him to form connections that lasted beyond Impact weekend.

“Students will seek Lindsey and me out in a crowd because they know they can count on us to guide them in the right direction,” Humphrey said.

Unlike previous new student orientation co-directors, Bender and Humphrey had the opportunity to build upon the experience they created the year before. One of their visions was to intentionally integrate the year’s Impact theme, “Your Story, Our Story,” into more activities.

“In the past, the theme was always just a little motto that would show up here and there, but we wanted to use the meaning and colorful imagery of this year’s theme to our advantage,” Humphrey said. “We wanted everyone to visually understand that their story brings a new color to the table, but we can all mix into a beautiful mess of colors here at Harding, so we hosted a color war amongst other activities.”

Denton said Bender and Humphrey set standards high for future years. She said Humphrey curated a guidebook that would help direct and inspire future new student orientation co-directors. The book incorporated notes from Humphrey and previous co-directors.

“Those who read the book will learn from many great role models and leaders and will feel encouraged to meet high standards,” Denton said. story by Caroline Lea

Students saw the effects of the Small Business Revolution in the Searcy community.

I

n spring 2019, Searcy won the Small Business Revolution.

The nationwide contest focused on revitalizing and building town morale and infrastructure.

Thousands of towns across the United States entered the contest, but Searcy rose through the ranks as people around the country voted on each updated list of finalists. It was the voters’ job to choose the town, but the Small Business Revolution team selected the businesses that received funds for improvement. Deluxe, the sponsor of the production, supplied the businesses with funds and various services that were included in the victory package.

“Along the way, we learned that nowhere are small businesses more under siege than in our small towns,” Deluxe explained on their website. “We created the Small Business Revolution – Main Street to help those small businesses, and in turn, those small towns, reignite the spark that drives them and keeps people coming

back. Each season, we search for one lucky town and six of its small businesses to win a $500,000 boost from Deluxe and document the transformations in an original series.”

Past and present residents of Searcy; current Harding students, posted on every social media platform to spread the word: Vote for Searcy.

Community leaders hoped to rebrand Searcy and make it friendlier to small businesses. Small business owners from around of the community wanted to share what they loved about Searcy and convince a national corporation to fall in love with the town as well.

Zion Climbing Center was one of the six small businesses selected to receive renovations. As of fall 2019, junior TK Geter, a student employee at Zion, said there were not any notable changes to the makeup of the building, but new marketing plans were implemented.

Geter said the business would wait to announce renovations to the building until the show aired on Hulu. Many possibilities were considered for changes, but the company hoped to land on a plan

Geter said. “And of course, staying at our own building. All three are really big projects, as you can tell. We’re just trying to very carefully decide what would be the best thing to do.”

Savor + Sip, located in downtown Searcy, was also chosen as a business to be assisted by Deluxe.

“I expected to see a whole new business when I came back,” junior Kassidy Barden, Savor + Sip employee, said. “But really, the only change you can notice is the walk-in fridge. I think a lot of the money went to behind-the-scenes things in the business realm.” story by Everett Kirkman

F

ew students were familiar with Josie Dunne before she opened Ben Rector’s show in spring 2019. Many left Rector’s concert impressed with Dunne’s performance and wanted her to return to Harding. After seeing students’ reactions to her performance, members of the Campus Activities Board (CAB) invited her back in fall 2019.

“It was a no-brainer,” senior Valerie LaFerney, co-director of CAB, said. “She was engaging with the fans and loved performing at Harding.”

Logan Light, director of campus life and CAB, said she was a better performer than he expected. Light said she seemed to be at home on stage when performing, which he said was one reason the crowd enjoyed her performance.

“When she is performing, she is all over the place,” senior Avery-Kiira Abney, co-director of CAB, said. “You never know what’s going to happen, which is exciting to watch.”

Light said part of Dunne’s success was because of her personality and her engagement with fans on and off stage.

After Rector’s concert, Dunne stayed in the lobby of the George S. Benson Auditorium, meeting fans for hours.

LaFerney said she had not seen a line to meet a performer at Harding as long as the one to meet Dunne. Light said as long as someone was there to shake her hand, she was going to stay and meet as many as she could.

“I recognize that in artists that are up and coming,” Light said. “That kind of personality goes a long way when it comes to the music industry.”

Abney said when she spoke with Dunne, the conversation felt casual. LaFerney said one of her favorite attributes of Dunne’s was her approachability.

LaFerney said she was excited for Dunne’s return in fall 2019 because of the musical variety she brought to the Harding community. LaFerney said students often gravitated toward folk and indie genres of music, but Dunne brought a more pop and edgy style of music.

“It’s something different that we’re bringing to Harding, and I’m excited about that,” LaFerney said.

Abney said she was most excited for Dunne to bring her new music to Harding. Other than Rector, who opened for NEEDTOBREATHE in 2012, Dunne was the only opener to come back as a headliner for a CAB concert, according to Light. story by Kylie Jones

years of history 26

Pattie Cobb Hall turned 100 years old in 2019.

B

uilt in 1919, women’s residence Pattie Cobb Hall stood for 100 years. It was first inhabited by students of Galloway Women’s College. According to Hannah Wood, archives and special collections librarian, Pattie Cobb was originally known as “the new dorm.” Galloway College sold its property to Harding College in 1934, after which the dormitory’s basement served as a cafeteria.

“I love the fact that we have a tie to the college that was here before us,” Wood said. “To me, it shows kind of a continuity of education, a connection to the community from even before when Harding was here.”

Wood said Pattie Cobb had several idiosyncrasies that set it apart from other dorms on campus. In the 1940s, the “dorm moms” of Pattie Cobb and women’s residence Cathcart Hall distributed banners for good housekeeping, and the names of the students with the cleanest rooms were published in The Bison newspaper. When the American Heritage cafeteria opened in 1965, the two cafeterias developed a feud. Pattie Cobb’s cafeteria made it a tradition to say a prayer every 30 minutes over the food served.

In 1989, University leadership decided to renovate Pattie Cobb to make it a larger women’s residence hall without a cafeteria in the basement, and it was renovated again in 2006.

Its newest features included balconies on the upper floors and a chandelier in the foyer with two staircases leading down into

the lobby area.

Heather Davis, dorm mom for both Pattie Cobb and Cathcart in 2019, said her father attended Harding in the 1970s when Pattie Cobb was still a functioning cafeteria. Once Davis lived in Pattie Cobb as a residence life coordinator, she said she wished she had lived there as a student.

“Our population tends to be a lot of studious girls,” Davis said. “They like it quiet and peaceful. Peaceful is a good word to describe it now.”

Sophomore Annika Asplund said she was glad to live in a historic building like Pattie Cobb and thought it captured the charm of living in the South.

“Pattie Cobb really has a lot of history, and I’m glad that I get to be a part of history indirectly in there,” Asplund said. story by Elizabeth Shores

The Homecoming musical featured swings and a ‘library of props’ to recreate the world of ‘Matilda.’

T

he 2019 Homecoming musical, “Matilda,” reached new heights with a unique set design. Swings, screens and scooters were added to this year’s show.

Dottie Frye, assistant professor of theatre and director of the musical, said she talked with set designer Britton Lynn, associate professor of theatre, about ideas she liked for set design when they first selected “Matilda” in spring 2019. Lynn said Frye told him she did not want to sit in the dark between scene changes, so she wanted a unit set. This meant the entire set was always on stage, and scene changes were indicated by a change in lighting rather than a physical change of scenery.

“You have to be very creative at figuring out how to hide all of the different locations in plain sight,” Lynn said.

Lynn said the idea for the set was to mirror Matilda’s love of reading by having a “library of props” on scaffolding levels that designated different scenes of the story. Lynn added that building the unit set with levels was an easier build than previous Harding productions were because the University already had most of the scaffolding they needed. The set was built in the Ulrey Performing Arts Center and then transported to the stage in the George S. Benson Auditorium.

Freshman Keller Montgomery, ensemble member, said he liked the “library of props” idea because it reflected the theme of storytelling and nodded to Matilda’s love for the library and how she used it to break free.

“Even though bad things are happening to her, she’s taking control of her own story, and she gets to decide how it ends,” Montgomery said. “She’s going to make a happy ending for herself.”

Frye said she made it clear she wanted to have swings for the show.

She said they hired an outside professional company to help fulfill her dream of having swings on stage because the auditorium’s previous flight system was removed. She said having playful elements like the swings was important to her to capture the wonder of being a child in the story.

“There is something magical [a child experiences] with the freedom of a swing,” Frye said. “I never want to lose the wonder of being God’s child, and so, for me, a show that embraces the joy of children, it’s just right up my alley.”

Frye said they broke new ground using LED panels to display imagery within the set. Lynn said he used the panels to create scenes that nodded to the original show since the unit set design they chose was different from most productions of “Matilda.”

“That’s actually the really fun part of my job,” Lynn said. “The joy of doing set design is figuring out how you can do the list of technical problems that the script gives you in the time frame you have, with the budget you have, with the people you have [and] in the space you have.” story by Sarah Barnard

Dorm children lived on campus year-round in residence halls.

E

very residence hall on Harding’s campus had a “dorm family” occupying it. As Harding students came and went, the dorm families stayed. Their children grew up living in a dormitory for college students. The 2019-20 school year was Heather Davis’ 10th year as a residence life coordinator or “dorm mom” for women’s residence Cathcart Hall. Davis, mother of seven, said she loved the way Harding students interacted with her children and treated them as their younger siblings.

“They really love seeing the kids, unless they are being exceptionally annoying,” Davis said. “I think that having a bunch of kids running around maybe makes it homier.”

Davis said sometimes it felt like they were in a fishbowl because of the lack of privacy in their lives. But, overall, the whole family loved living in the dorm, and she enjoyed giving her children a unique childhood.

Jana Willis worked as the dorm mom in women’s residence Kendall Hall. Willis said she and her family loved everything about living on campus, especially the safety of the environment for her children.

“We love the atmosphere because it is a safe atmosphere, and the kids have this huge playground,” Willis said. “The kids think they are hot stuff because they know the big kids, and the big kids look out for them, which I am thankful for.”

Willis said staying up late for work and getting up early with the children was the hardest adjustment, but it was worth it because she got to spend time with her family.

“It has allowed me to spend a lot of time with my kids,” Willis said.

“And to me, that is invaluable, so I am not going to ever take that for granted.”

Emily Myers completed her 12th year as dorm mom for men’s residence Armstrong Hall. Myers’ children included five girls, and she considered the men living in Armstrong to be an extension of those children. She said this cultivated a unique experience for her daughters over the years.

“It has given my kids a lot of big brothers that they wouldn’t have,” Myers said. “When we hire [resident assistants], we hire you into our family.”

Myers said her children loved campus life so much that one of her daughters wanted to take over her mother’s job when she retired.

All three dorm moms said the most important thing about living on campus was the opportunities it provided their children to make connections. They said some of the strongest relationships they formed were with other dorm families on campus.

“It is kind of a community because there are other dorm moms with kids,” Willis said. “We just all understand each other because we all understand the life, and it has been a good thing.” story by Emma Vaughn

Official changes made for the 2019-20 school year were the result of a collaboration between board leadership, student input and faculty discussion as an attempt by the administration to respond adequately to a changing culture with respect to the enduring word of God. “A university is, by its very nature, a dynamic community where discussions are constantly taking place about the ways we organize and regulate ourselves in a constantly changing world,” President Bruce McLarty said in an email to the student body in mid-July.

McLarty said changes and alterations were discussed with the start of each new school year. In 2019, however, the handbook included more than clarifications and specifications.

One of the most significant changes to the handbook, especially visible in the first few weeks of school, was the updated rule on shorts as appropriate daily apparel. The 2019-20 school year was the first in Harding history to allow students to wear shorts to class and chapel.

“I think that it’ll definitely affect our storytelling ability, because we’re going to be the group of students that was here for the shorts change,” senior Michael Krupka, Student Association president, said.

“I hope that [the change] gives students more opportunities to stay outside longer and chat and mingle in between classes because they feel more comfortable outdoors. That’s the main effect that I hope would be happening.”

The student body had mixed reactions to the dress code change.

Though feedback was mostly positive, the trend gained momentum slowly in the earliest days of the fall 2019 semester. By the end of the first week, it seemed a growing number of students sported their shorts enthusiastically in and out of the classroom. While excited about the progress — especially in the heat of August — some students believed the amendment to the rules was overdue.

“The [old] rule was supposed to make us look more professional when we went to class,” junior Travis Buford said. “Yet, in reality, we did not have to look professional to go to class because we got to wear sweatpants and other unprofessional clothing.”

Zach Neal, dean of students, said professionalism can be determined on a class-by-class basis. Rather than prohibiting shorts campus-wide, teachers could request students wear specific attire suited to the situation.

Despite overwhelming sense of approval of the rule change, a persisting sect of students pushed for more change. While some were comfortable enough with the current state of rules to forgo the push toward reformation, there would continue to be groups yearning for more.

“There’s always going to be an undercurrent among college-aged kids to reform something,” Krupka said. “We are in this age where we want to fix things; we want to make things better. And that’s a wonderful thing, and we have the most energy to do it.” story by Everett Kirkman

INTERNATIONAL To study abroad was to broaden one’s sphere of knowledge. It was to learn from other cultures and broaden perspectives. While expanding the Harding community across seven different programs, the echo of adventures broke down barriers and brought people together. From discovering ancestors to sending newsletters back home, students were impacted by their journey while sharing with those surrounding them. Harding gave students who traveled abroad an opportunity to live out the lessons learned on the Searcy campus and around the world.

HULA moved to Peru and went on a piranha fishing trip in the Amazon.

V

iña del Mar, Chile, was home to the Harding University in Latin America (HULA) program for 15 years. In spring 2019, HULA’s home base moved to Arequipa, Peru, which opened new opportunities.

The change of base to Peru enabled the group to travel to new places such as Lake Titicaca and the Colca Canyon. HULA Director Jeremy Daggett said it was a no-brainer to include these trips on the schedule.

“It added so much to the HULA experience and humanities class that deals with pre-Columbian civilizations in the Americas,” Daggett said.

Junior Easton Davis recalled that Daggett pushed the group to connect humanity and culture through every trip.

“We were forced to be immersed in the culture, and whether you like that or not, it was very eye-opening because you couldn’t get away from it,” Davis said.

Junior Ana LaFontaine said the Lake Titicaca trip was more incredible than she expected. LaFontaine said learning how to communicate through the language barrier allowed the group to hear stories from their Quechua-speaking hosts.

“Their hearts were good, and they truly wanted us to learn,” LaFontaine said.

Daggett said he organized the trip with the intention of bringing the culture to the students in tangible ways.

“There is so much value in getting so close to the culture, in getting closer to the earth, in participating in new customs in a beautiful place — even if for just one day and one night,” Daggett said. “It’s temporary, but the impact is significant.”

Another excursion Daggett planned for the group was piranha fishing in Lake Valencia, a tributary of the Amazon River. Every semester, HULA students visited the Amazon, but Daggett wanted the group to travel further into it for a chance to see different species of wildlife, like three-toed sloths.

Davis said piranha fishing was unlike regular fishing, which made it fun for everyone. Piranhas moved fast, so it was difficult to catch one. LaFontaine was one of the only students who had not caught a piranha when the guide asked if she wanted to hold one to bring her luck. While LaFontaine held the piranha, the fish wiggled loose and bit her finger. Even though she was bitten, LaFontaine said the piranha fishing trip was her favorite day abroad because of the unique story she was able to tell.

Daggett said he looked for new adventures to deepen the group experience. He did not want HULA to be simply tourism but something more personal. story by Kylie Jones

Sophomore Kara Spencer found ancestors while researching D-Day for her Harding University in England coursework.

S

ophomore Kara Spencer did not expect to learn her own family history from a class assignment.

While studying abroad with the Harding University in England (HUE) program, students in speech class were tasked with finding a personal connection to World War II before visiting Normandy, France, the site of the D-Day landings in 1944. Through the assignment, Spencer discovered she had three great-great uncles who fought in the war.

Dr. Jack Shock, distinguished professor of communication, said the faculty wanted to find a way for students on the trip to connect with a soldier in a meaningful way and reflect on their service.

Spencer said the person she learned most about was her great-great uncle, Ian MacLennan, who was an Ace in the Royal Canadian Air Force and also turned out to be a war hero. Spencer said MacLennan was a Spitfire pilot on loan to the Royal Air Force and, at one point, was the only defense against the German and Italian forces when they tried to overwhelm the island of Malta. On June 7, 1944, the Germans captured and took MacLennan to Stalag Luft III, a prison camp near Berlin, after he crash-landed. A series of events led MacLennan to escape and hitchhike to Paris, and he eventually arrived in London on the day the war ended.

“It was very impactful to me, and it made me closer with my grandparents and made World War II more personal to me,” Spencer said.

The assignment affected the students in ways beyond a grade. Sophomore Sarah Johnson said she was not in this particular class, but the assignment compelled her to research her own family.

“Since many of my friends were finding out about their family connections, that made me curious about my family,” Johnson said. “I knew my great grandfather had been there in Normandy, and I knew he got a Purple Heart medal, but I didn’t know the whole story.”

Shock explained the significance and weight the assignment also held for him.

“I am the son of a World War II veteran, and I find great comfort knowing that my students represent the next generation of Americans who now know more about the sacrifices made by our brave soldiers,” Shock said.

Both Shock and Spencer said they benefited from this assignment, and it was a way of gaining more knowledge and empathy toward the people who had gone before them and influenced their lives. story by Madison Scott

The Notre Dame Cathedral caught fire while students attended Harding University in Florence in spring 2019.

M

any were devastated when the Notre Dame Cathedral caught fire April 15, 2019. Over the years, many Harding students saw the cathedral through the Europe-based study abroad programs.

Junior William Philbrick, who was studying abroad with the spring 2019 Harding University in Florence (HUF) program, was in Paris three days before the fire, allowing him to see the cathedral in its original form.

“I had been out all day, and my friend Chris and I had just gotten back from Paris, so we just spent the day in Florence without Wi-Fi or anything, so we didn’t get any texts,” Philbrick said. “When we got back, I was getting all these texts from my friends and family back home telling me that the Notre Dame was on fire. I thought it was a joke because we were just there. It didn’t feel real.”

Two weeks later, Philbrick returned to the cathedral to see what remained.

“It was blocked off, and there were people standing as close as they could get taking pictures of it,” Philbrick said. “It was very odd to see that many people in Paris gather and stop in one place because they’re usually very busy and moving around a lot, so for a lot of people to be congregated like that was really weird. It gave me a sense of how much that meant to them and how important it was for them.”

HUF director Robbie Shackelford was saddened by the tragic event and had not returned to see the cathedral.

“I am constantly surrounded by art and architecture that I appreciate, and I have the pleasure of teaching others to appreciate,” Shackelford said. “I will say that my thoughts were directed to the fact that the original has been lost to us.”

Even those who never visited Notre Dame felt heartache after the fire. Senior visual art studio major Anna Milliron related the damaged cathedral to her major courses.

“As an art student, we’ve all heard of it, and even now I’m taking Italian Renaissance Art History, and [Notre Dame] was one of the first things we talked about, so it’s really heartbreaking that I’m not going to get to see that ever in its original form,” Milliron said.

Milliron discussed how the Notre Dame fire revealed a connection between art and culture.

“I think it puts into perspective just how important those buildings are, and preserving them is important,” Milliron said. “It’s more than art; it’s a part of culture.” story by Grace Baker

Junior Brian Hicks said the HUG group saw other people climbing and asked if they would be allowed to as well.

“The coolest part was feeling the wind from the desert hitting us as we climbed a little higher,” Hicks said.

“Overall, it was a crazy experience, and not many can say they have done it.”

McHan, Bible and Ritchie said the experience from Bible said she decided to go on the HUG trip because Egypt was added, but the Israel trip was ultimately her favorite part of the program.

Ritchie said visiting the biblical sites in the countries HUG traveled to gave him a heightened awareness of biblical history.

believers from three very different places; it was just incredible,” McHan said. “I would tell everybody, even if you don’t pick Greece, go get to learn about other cultures, because it just changes your perspective forever.” story by Will Allen & Sarah Barnard

I

n fall 2019, a group of Harding students engaged in an alternate form of communication to stay in contact with people back home while studying abroad in Zambia. Sophomore Audra Crisler, who attended Harding University in Zambia (HIZ) in fall 2019, spoke about the importance of documenting her experiences through an email chain and communicating those stories to those she was closest to back home.

“We were taught by a missionary [about] the importance of telling a story of a person correctly,” Crisler said.

She said it was easy to share stories and images through social media in a way that did not tell the whole story. She used her email chain as a platform to share the full experience. She included anything from daily activities to ways she saw God working, and it enabled her to stay connected with her friends and family in the U.S. Crisler said around 110 people were included in the email chain, and she tried to send one or two emails per week.

“I have been so thankful for the contact and connection these emails have given me,” Crisler said. “There are a handful of people who respond each time and ask questions or give encouraging words. I don’t have Snapchat or Instagram, so I sometimes feel extremely disconnected while I am here, but I feel like the emails are a good way of reminding people that ‘I’m still here!’ and when they respond, it makes me feel a part of their lives too.”

Sophomore Emma Hayes also used this communication tactic to send blog-style emails to a group of around 100 people. Both Crisler and Hayes said WiFi could be unpredictable at times, but the emails consistently helped them stay in touch with people as best they could.

“It is encouraging to see who has kept up with me through email and who wants to genuinely know what is happening here,” Hayes said.

“Even if we are unable to talk regularly, they can count on hearing from me through email.”

The women described what they learned from virtual communication and how deeply they were affected by the relationships with those in Zambia. They described how relationship-oriented Zambians behaved and how it challenged them to step outside of the American mindset of busyness and to-do lists.

“People are always first, and yet, they still get done what needs to happen,” Crisler said. “I am hoping this is something I will be able to take back with me: putting people and relationships first. Not thinking of time as something to give and take, but as something to always have.

To really look into people’s eyes and listen, not just be waiting for the next thing to say.”

Crisler’s words and stories transcended time zones and locations of those who sent and received them, and those involved learned valuable lessons.

“I’ve learned more about God through Audra in the way she is seeing his creation and her words about the people she is coming in contact with and describing around her,” junior Hailey Bracey, a recipient of Crisler’s emails, said.

Moving forward, Crisler and Hayes said they were thankful for the connections they made in Zambia and hoped to create similar relationships when returning to the U.S. “I feel like the Lord has been teaching me just how beautiful his people are,” Crisler said. “That the whole point of his creation and story was to be with his people. With me, with these Zambians, with everyone at Harding. And he just wants me to be with him.” story by Madison Scott

The fall 2019 HUA trip visited a visual effects and props workshop that made set pieces for films and television.

T

he Harding University in Australasia (HUA) program added a new stop on their semester-long journey in fall 2019. While in Wellington, New Zealand, the group visited the Weta Workshop — a multi-award winning design studio and physical manufacturing facility servicing the world’s entertainment and creative industries.

Pam Little, HUA director, said the Weta Workshop was an addition suggested by Dr. Jeff Hopper, former dean of International Programs.

“Hopper suggested going to the Weta Workshop in Wellington, New Zealand, because we were going to have a film crew from America travel with us,” Little said. “The students this year were able to go into the actual workshop and watch behind glass windows the making of swords, weapons, costumes and the various creatures in the ‘Lord of the Ring’ movies and ‘The Hobbit.’”

Junior Emma Rose Hill had a special connection to the visit.

As a sophomore in high school, Hill did a project about the Weta Workshop. She said finally getting to see it in person was exciting.

As a mechanical engineering major, Hill said she was interested in seeing the 3D printed models made at the Weta Workshop.

“I’m an engineering major, and so, getting to see the applied engineering and 3D printing was awesome,” Hill said. “I actually 3D printed a little hobbit hole last semester, so getting to see that was amazing.”

Sophomore Georgia Dunning said the Weta Workshop was not just home to props and set pieces from “Lord of the Rings.”

“The museum was really interesting, and we got to see a lot of props that were used in not only the ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies, but all kinds of famous movies as well,” Dunning said. “We got to learn how the props for the movies were made, and our guide showed us where some of the swords were made for the ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies.”

Dunning said she enjoyed getting to see the sets from various television shows and movies.

“My personal favorite part of the tour was the room filled with sets that have been used in famous TV shows and movies,” Dunning said. “My 7-year-old self was freaking out at all of the Barbie doll-like houses, and even the guys thought the sets were the coolest part, too.”

Dunning said she hoped future HUA programs would return to the location.

“I would 100% request that this be a trip future HUA students take,” Dunning said. “I’m not even a ‘Lord of the Rings’ fan, but learning and getting to see all of the hard work that is put into each film was really interesting. Everyone on my trip enjoyed themselves, and our tour guides told us a lot of stories about funny things that happened to the actors on set for ‘Lord of the Rings,’ which made the tour even cooler!”

Little said she did not know what the next year for HUA would hold. The program explored the continents of Australia and Asia and offered students unique travel experiences similar to the Weta Workshop.

“We may go there again in the future; it really just depends on what other new opportunities open up as I start to plan the program every year,” Little said. “With HUA, I like to make each year have an element of surprise and a first for the students.

Because we don’t have an actual campus, the opportunities to spread our wings are unlimited.” story by Karli Williamson & Kyle Raney

SOCIAL CLUBS On cold October nights, if you listened closely, the echoes of chanting from various social clubs could be heard around campus.

Whether it was worshipping together, cheering along with other clubs or silly disruptions, club week activities fostered unity and invited friendly competition. The academic year was cushioned by the thrill of jersey Fridays, anticipation of weekend functions, and celebration of new beaux and queens. The significance of these events formed relationships and traditions that impacted lives and clubs for years to come.

Jim Miller

Shanna Jones, instructor of family and consumer sciences - Zeta Rho 2000 and current sponsor “Well, it was a lot different than what we have now. There were a lot of physical components, so lots of running and exercising and push-ups and wall sits. I feel like the emotional side of it was actually better back then, because I think the older members saw us doing all that hard work and actually felt bad for us and so, they either ignored us or were nice. No one was mean, no one said mean things, no one requested mean things, because most of the whole process was the physical component and the challenges, like team building challenges that were frustrating and hard, but we did them, and they cheered for us while we did them.

Zeta Rho, it molded me into who I am today. It provided me with leadership opportunities I never had, and I just feel a huge sense of pride.”

Dr. Jim Miller, associate professor in the department of communication - TNT 1993 “I joined TNT in 1993. I was president my senior year.

So, it was fun. As it is today, my pledge week was a time of bonding with my pledge mates. I remember Matt Schmitz, who works in the admissions office. He and I pledged together. I remember on rough night, we were in the Lee building, and we were waiting to go on trial to see if we had gotten into the club or not, and the upperclassmen stuck Matt and I into a bathroom stall and said, ‘Sit here and do not open your eyes.’ So, I sat in that stall with Matt Schmitz for two hours, and I don’t think I ever opened my eyes because we were so scared of what was going to happen, and so, we just followed the orders.

But such good times of bonding with my pledge class, getting to know the members, and those were good memories. I still have my dynamite stick that we all wore on our heads all week long.”

Kathy Helpenstill

Jennifer Hannigan

Kathy Helpenstill, associate professor of behavioral sciences - Ju Go Ju 1988 and current sponsor “On silly day, which is Thursday, the whole campus just erupted in craziness and tomfoolery. So, we would have to line up on the wall and stand on our ‘cutie crates’ for 45 minutes. We would just sing. We also would have to wear dresses every single day because cuties were cute, and we had to wear makeup and to dress nice, and we always, always had to dress like a lady, and we always, always had to act like a lady.

Then, on a different day, we would have to move our crates right outside the Benson before chapel. We only had one chapel, and so we would pose. We were models, and we would strike a pose for 30 to 40 minutes before chapel. Anytime someone wanted us to do something in the student center or whatever, we would have to use our cutie crates and had to decorate them. I still have my cutie crate; it’s in my garage right now, it’s what we put our extension cords in.”

Jennifer Hannigan, adjunct professor in the department of communication - Delta Gamma Rho 2004 “Ultimately, it was just such a bonding experience. Those girls who I pledged with are the people I still talk to outside of Harding, postgraduation. They are the ones I keep up with and still communicate with, just because we did all that together, and it’s just such an intense thing over a short amount of time that creates those bonds. Delta Gamma Rho is what made Harding for me. Harding was great, and I loved it, but it was those people who really made it matter to me.

I just loved it all. I still get goosebumps hearing the train cheer.

There is just nothing like that outside of this time, there is no equivalent to it, and so if you don’t get it there, not to say you lose something, but my fondest moments of Harding are DGR-connected in some way, shape or form. My roommate [and] I ended up having to go through all of it. We met through pledge week, and every one of my bridesmaids was a DGR person. It was very important and meaningful, and I think definitely the highlight of my time at Harding.” quotes compiled by Emma Vaughn

Revisions were made for club week 2019 to strengthen relationships outside of the club induction process.

I

n spring 2019, the deans of student life made revisions to social club induction week activities that went into effect in fall 2019.

The process that endured for 95 years saw several changes prior to the dramatic 2019 change.

Kara Abston, assistant dean of students, said most of the changes were not new, but rather existing rules that were more strictly enforced.

She said new members of social clubs were always prohibited from attending breakfast or participating in forced running activities, but 2019 was the first time the deans truly enforced these rules.

A complete list of the new rules made in spring 2019 was as follows: All activities had to take place in well-lit areas, members were only allowed to use their voices at full volume for 20 minutes, clubs were required to designate times for new members to eat dinner, clubs were no longer allowed to continue activities overnight on Friday, activities on Sunday night had to remain in one location, and Wednesday night was limited to a 1 1/2 hour devotional.

Each club was told of the changes in spring 2019 at an Interclub Council meeting.

“We were swift to make those decisions,” Abston said. “It wasn’t ever a reaction to one thing. Every club received warnings, unless there was something previous, then the warning went straight into the loss of an activity.”

Abston said the deans were always concerned for the health and exhaustion of the students. She said other than the activities the new members completed between 5 and 11 p.m. and the stress of class work, there should not be anything else causing anxiety.

“We became so much more aware of how anxious our students are through this process,” Abston said. “What we can do to protect their time and their anxiousness is important.”

Abston said as compensation for the new rules and lessened time for club week activities, there were four major functions allowed a

60

year, rather than the usual two. The requirement for a service project during club week was also eliminated to encourage clubs to work with an organization outside of club week for the entire year.

“Rather than the time being spent in a condensed amount of time during the club week, they are given more opportunities for major events,” Abston said.

Senior Kizzie Citty, vice president of women’s social club Ju Go Ju, said several changes altered how their club week proceeded every year. She said a big part of club week was time members spent each morning with the induction class. Club week leaders came up with alternate activities to encourage them to work as a team. Citty said the worst part about the new rules was members did not have enough quality time to spend with the new members.

“I think all the changes, except for no breakfast and limited Wednesday time, were good for the new members,” Citty said. “Having more structured rules for the older members was really good for the new members.”

Senior Clay Lewis, vice president of men’s social club TNT, said TNT was punished on Wednesday of club week because the new members met outside of the designated club activity times. Their punishment was to finish activities at 8 p.m. on Thursday of club week. Lewis said it was difficult to foster the atmosphere they wanted with the time they had.

“It was harder to get the new members to buy into the week because of the lack of time we had,” Lewis said. story by Ashlyn Quesinberry

S

tudents and alumni celebrated 2019 Homecoming weekend through various events and activities. Among these, the traditional football tailgate saw the engagement of social clubs and other organizations from across Harding’s campus. For women’s social club Ko Jo Kai (KJK), the tailgate provided an opportunity to celebrate a special anniversary.

KJK commemorated their 80th year as a club with a birthday partythemed tailgate. Complete with a cake and decorations, current students and alumni gathered to remember their time in the club.

Senior Ava Galyean, president of KJK, explained how the tailgate brought their club together in the sense of a “family reunion.”

“For me, I love that we’re one of the oldest girls’ clubs on campus; I think that’s really cool,” Galyean said. “Our club motto is universal friendship and appreciation for life, and I think that’s something that I see is still true in the club today, and it really is just a big sisterhood.

I have older cousins and friends and family members who were in the club, and we all love it for the same reasons — for the friendships that we have built through the club.”

Sophomore Jewel Gilbert, a member of KJK, helped plan the tailgate.

She said they started planning the 80th birthday party theme in spring 2019. She especially enjoyed the ladybug dessert competition.

“We had a dessert contest for the members, and it was ladybug-themed

Tish Elrod, a sponsor for KJK, said she enjoyed seeing the club bond — not only with members, but between friends of members as well.

“It was just a fun time,” Elrod said. “There were even people that would come as alumni that were in some of the other clubs, but they hung out with Kojies. We would end up with people that I remembered from … 30 years ago that would come around.”

Galyean said the sisterhood of the club was her favorite part of being involved. we all had this bond and something we could talk about,” Galyean said.

H

istorically, the Rhodes Rowdies were known for filling Rhodes-Reaves Field House with cheers and shouts during home basketball games. With a decline in game attendance, members of men’s social club TNT decided to bring the spirit back to the court.

In previous seasons, members of TNT were known for their involvement with the Rowdies. The basketball coaches and men’s and women’s teams recruited the social club to reignite the enthusiasm of the student body and boost player morale.

Senior Carter Bramlett, president of TNT, said the club was given the freedom to develop new ideas to engage the crowds.

Bramlett nominated seniors Austin Bishop and Hunter Gowen to become TNT’s ambassadors for the Rowdies.

“I knew those two would be the head honchos of rebuilding the Rowdies on TNT’s behalf because they were so enthusiastic about everything they did in general,” Bramlett said.

Gowen said he was passionate about reviving the Rowdies because he remembered the way their presence filled the Field House when he was younger.

“The whole north side of the gym was completely packed with fans, and when that place is packed, it’s incredibly loud,” Gowen said. “I wanted to be a part of bringing that excitement and energy back.”

Bishop said he believed the Rowdies put Harding on the map for many prospective students.

“People would look at us and be impressed by our student section at games alone because we were being our loudest and craziest selves all for the sake of supporting our fellow students on the team,” Bishop said.

Aside from building upon old traditions like revamping a few original Rowdies chants, TNT and the other social clubs involved were given the opportunity to host challenges and activities during halftime.

“That energy in the room during that moment, that was what we had been missing all along.”

“During the first game of the season, we created a full-court putt challenge that somebody won, and the place went nuts when she got it,” Gowen said. “That energy in the room during that moment, that was what we had been missing all along.”

Whether students were interested in sports or not, Bishop said he wanted the new-and-improved Rowdies to establish an atmosphere anyone could join.

“All it took to be a Rowdie was to simply show up,” Bishop said. “It’s not just about basketball, and it’s not just about TNT. It’s about supporting each other and collectively coming together as one student body.” story by Caroline Lea

Men’s social club Delta Chi Delta played Dungeons & Dragons together every Friday night.

I

n fall 2016, men’s social club Delta Chi Delta (DXD) started playing the game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). Members of DXD continued the games into fall 2019 as a means of club bonding.

D&D was a role playing game that required creativity. With every game played, there was a narrator who set up the story and maintained the adventurous setting.

Each player had a character they created as they interacted with the setting and each other.

Senior Nathan Evans, member of DXD, played D&D with his fellow members and said it was a great way for them to relax and grow closer as a group.

“I really like how it is an informal way to hang out with each other,” Evans said.

“There are seven of us who play, and a lot of the members come by to chat and watch from time to time. It’s obviously not a mandatory thing, but the guys are deliberate about their participation because they want to relax with their brothers, and I think that’s neat.”

Senior Hyhway Therrell, member of DXD, believed D&D was important to the club dynamic.

“It’s another way that various members can come together and be with one another and have a lot of fun too,” Therrell said. “D&D has a way of creating unique opportunities to be creative [and] do things one normally wouldn’t do like being extroverted or thinking strategically.”

The tradition started because a lot of club members played in high school and in different groups on campus, and they brought the idea to their club specifically.

DXD met every Friday, with exceptions like Homecoming and Club Week, to bond over a creative game that brought the group together.

Junior Austin Wardlow said they played for hours or until their dungeon master ran out of things for them to do in the game.

“Playing together as a club helps with building friendships and bonds since we spend four to five hours together,” Wardlow said. “It can let some of our new members get to know the older members. It’s also hilarious some of the solutions to the problems [the game master gives us] we come up with.” story by Will Allen & Ashlyn Quesinberry

Pi Theta Phi brought back old traditions and stayed connected by email over summer 2019.

S

hortly after being elected president of women’s social club Pi Theta Phi (PTP) for the fall 2019 semester, junior Lindsey Bender received various boxes and binders passed down from president to president after the club’s establishment in 2004.

While perusing the materials, she came across multiple printed copies of emails from years before. After looking over the emails, she said she realized what made them special. The founders of PTP used email chains to communicate and keep up with one another. When the members were scattered all over the country and world, the women used email to stay connected with one another’s lives. Fifteen years later, Bender decided to restore the old tradition and proposed using email chains again.

“To me, it was a testament to the kind of community they had, and I thought it was so beautiful,” Bender said.

Bender said she wanted to reintroduce the concept to the club in 2019 and use it as a way to stay updated throughout the summer so they could make a seamless transition upon returning in the fall. Similar to the women in 2004, she wanted to use the emails as a mechanism for community building.

“As it went on, you could see people being more vulnerable and talk about what was really going on,” Bender said.

Bender said the email chain was used to keep members informed of other’s summer activities, and it turned into a platform for vulnerability and encouragement. She said the women opened up and shared more about the areas in which they struggled and needed prayer, and club “A lot of the [women] were struggling with the same things over the summer,” junior Emma Denson, PTP member, said.

The women said the manner in which people opened up and responded to the authenticity was impressive and uplifting. Bender said she did not anticipate what would transpire when she originally proposed the idea, but she was moved by how the Lord worked through it.

Junior Ally Anderson, PTP member, said it was interesting to see what her fellow club members were doing through social media, but the and share more than the highlights.

“With the email, I got to hear from the girls who were just staying home and working, and it wasn’t just, ‘Hey I’m staying home and working,’ it was all of these really cool things about their lives,” Anderson said. “One thing that is really cool about girls in PTP is that they’re just good at being very real and very vulnerable all the time, so each email was just honest.”

The email chain made an impact during the summer and launched the club dynamic on a positive trajectory for the rest of the school year.

“I think it set a very good tone for the school year because there was already that sense of wanting to be with each other,” Bender said. “I could so genuinely excited to be there because they already know that there’s that sense of community from the email chain.”

Ultimately, Bender said the dated form of communication proved to be successful for the members of PTP. She said it created a platform for the girls into deeper relationships for the semesters to come. story by Madison Scott

omen’s social club Delta Gamma Rho (DGR) teamed up with men’s social club Sub T-16 (Sub T) for a service project to encourage the children of Searcy to get into the Halloween spirit.

What began as an idea to host a “trunk-or-treat” for children in the area grew into a Halloween party partnered with Lamplight Ministry.

Lamplight typically hosted holiday parties for the children living in the neighborhood behind College Church of Christ, which created an opportunity for social clubs to get involved.

DGR and Sub T usually participated in two or three service projects per semester. Junior Sara Hix, service director for DGR, said participating in a project for young children on Halloween was one of the club’s goals.

“It started because we wanted to do a service project with Sub T — something that people would enjoy coming to and something that would be fun,” Hix said. “Lamplight was super welcoming and invited us to set up four of our own tables for the kids.”

The Halloween party included pumpkin bowling, candy corn relay races, face painting and other crafts. The two clubs also spent time with the children at the neighborhood’s playground and played various

games. Sophomore McCartney Paul, service director for Sub T, said he was anxious to see how the party would pan out but was ultimately happy with the results.

“We had about 50 or so people come to the Halloween party between the two clubs,” Paul said. “The kids were running around and spending time getting to know us and playing games with the other students.

It was a great opportunity for two different social circles to be able to get together and spend time pouring into the lives of children that truly needed to be invested in.”

Lamplight Ministry worked with other social clubs prior to the Halloween party. Every year, they hosted an annual Thanksgiving craft party and Christmas talent show for children. Senior Tatum Watson, co-director of Lamplight, said she appreciated when social clubs reached out to them and participated with their ministry.

“On behalf of the volunteers and kids, I would like to thank all the participants who came out to help with the Halloween party,” Watson said. “We appreciate your service, and we hope to see you again at Lamplight.” story by Grace Baker

An unusual amount of students jumped to new clubs in fall 2019.

A

substantial number of students decided to jump from their social clubs to new clubs in hopes of finding a new community. What was once a taboo topic in the past, became the new normal in fall 2019.

Senior Haley Grizzell jumped to women’s social club Pi Theta Phi (PTP). She said it started out as a joke between some friends, but then some others heard the joke and encouraged her to actually jump. From there, Grizzell said it was an organic transition. She said when she walked through campus, she would have a conversation with women in PTP for five or 10 minutes, never stopping at the surface level.

“There was one day I was having a bad day during club week and broke down,” Grizzell said. “A group of girls [in PTP] circled around me and prayed. It’s just the aspect of prayer and faith that you see God in all of the members.”

Junior Carter Shields jumped to men’s social club Knights.

He said most of his friends were in Knights, and he had wanted to jump since freshman year, but he went abroad in the fall of his sophomore year.

Shields said jumping was not as bad as he thought it would be.

He said he initially felt like he was severing ties, but because there were many other people jumping, it was worth it. Shields and four others were voted into Knights in September 2019 as members but voluntarily chose to go through club week as new members.

“It was definitely emotional and scary, but it was worth it,” Shields said. “I feel like I can be myself more. Knights is good about accepting people for who they really are.”

Senior Britny Kirkpatrick planned to graduate in December 2019 but still jumped to women’s social club Delta Nu in her final semester. One of her friends also joked about her jumping and encouraged her to “go out with a bang.” She told the president of Delta Nu, senior Danielle Turner, on a Tuesday; met with Kara Abston, assistant dean of students, on Wednesday; and then Delta Nu voted her in to the club on Thursday. Kirkpatrick said it was a fast process. She said the big group that had already jumped influenced her. Kirkpatrick said she was intimidated by jumping but believed it was worth the risk.

“I do not regret it in the slightest,” Kirkpatrick said. “All the girls have been so sweet and welcoming and loving. I feel like I’ve already made all these remarkable friendships. I said in my jump letter, ‘Worst thing that happens is I make 60 new friends and then graduate.’ Even if people do judge me for jumping, it’s my last semester.” story by Ashlyn Quesinberry

The success of our University was ingrained in the strength of its academic programs. Academic potential was fueled by a body of hardworking students. Any classroom, lecture hall or auditorium held the capacity for scholastic excellence, propelling the student body into the world. Whether it was engineering and medical programs traveling to Kenya with life-saving technology or a special day on campus to celebrate NASA research, every new experience in the realm of academics was worthy of recognition. Students built the educational foundation for their future careers, and their achievements left an echo to be considered by students to come.

The feature writing class wrote about a pivotal moment in American history.

N

oah Darnell, instructor of communication, began teaching a feature writing class in fall 2019 for the first time since spring 2016. Darnell said the class was mostly run by the nine students enrolled.

President Bruce McLarty tasked the class with finding two of his former classmates from elementary school, who participated in phase two of Arkansas desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas. McLarty gave Darnell’s students a class photo from when his classmates integrated, the name of the school they attended, and the date that the photos were taken to begin their investigation.

Junior journalism major Daniela Cuellar said working on a long story was more difficult but also more rewarding because they were able to witness the results of their hard work over time. The students were required to contact people involved with the stories and make connections with them for a more hands-on approach in the class.

After three weeks of searching through Arkansas archives, students found and contacted one of McLarty’s former classmates who was still living in Little Rock. Senior journalism major Gael Langdon was one of Darnell’s students who tracked down the classmates’ family in Little Rock.

After deciding to use McLarty’s classmates’ story of integration to illustrate educational segregation in Little Rock, Langdon and other students from the class later attended a protest against new rules mandated by the Arkansas Board of Education in the Little Rock School District. Langdon said she gained experience working in print news alongside professionals.

“We’re doing things that the real guys do,” Langdon said. “I was standing next to people who work for the Democrat-Gazette.”

Darnell said it was interesting to see the correlation between a teacher strike in 2019 and Ruby Bridges integrating into a public school for the first time in 1963 when she was 6 years old.

“The most important part of journalism is that I think the students see how interconnected everything is,” Darnell said.

A former professional journalist and AP editor in central Arkansas and Nashville, Tennessee, proofread and provided commentary on the final story. Darnell said he put this in place to ensure the students received as much applied, professional experience as possible. story by Jeriah Brumfield & Caleb Manor Noah Darnell, instructor of communication, and his students edit their story in the Donald W.

n summer 2019, the French department embarked on a trip to Geneva, Switzerland, which focused on immersing the students and faculty in the French language and culture.

Through a program called French Advanced Conversational and Cultural Experience (FACE), students signed a contract agreeing to speak at least eight hours of French per day. Students accomplished this by taking classes, meeting with people local to the area, and participating in various excursions like speaking with the head interpreter of the United Nations and visiting numerous world health organizations headquartered there. Activities ranged from playing laser tag and attending a music festival to visiting Mont Blanc.

“We only take eight to 10 students, so it can be more like a big family, and we can really try and help each student,” Dr. Robert McCready, professor of foreign languages and international studies, said.

McCready started FACE in 2012 and said attendees’ language skills benefited immensely, and they increased their oral proficiency interview levels.

On the 2019 trip, Ken Graves, director of Global Outreach and Mission Experiences, attended; however, instead of attending as a faculty member, he attended as a student.

“God just put it on my heart to learn French,” Graves said. “It was good for me; I liked it. It was challenging, and it definitely helped my French.”

Because the trip was multifaceted, it reached the interests of many different people.

Graves said he enjoyed the mission-oriented aspects of the trip, meeting people of the local church and transcending the language barrier.

However, amid all of these different interests, the part that stood out for many was the familial environment the trip produced.

“We really do become like one big family,” McCready said.

Senior Nathan Evans, who attended FACE in 2018, said they formed deep and impactful relationships through small moments like bus rides and nights at the apartment.

“The connections I made with the people on the trip were by far the best part of it,” Evans said.

McCready said he wanted to create a way for his students to learn the language and culture in a fun, well-rounded way.

“I want to give other young people a chance to see that people in another country, they’re like us when you get down to it in a day,” McCready said.

Evans said because of the trip, he gained confidence in his Frenchspeaking abilities and witnessed people from the other side of the world worship the same God he did.

“We might be thousands of miles apart, but we’re still all children of God,” Evans said.

FACE helped students and faculty become more confident in their language-speaking abilities and grow in their relationships and understanding of the world. story by Madison Scott

Faculty-selected business students attended a leadership seminar to learn about the integration of faith and business.

A

group of 29 students and faculty from the College of Business Administration (COBA) spent five days in Ridgedale, Missouri, at Big Cedar Lodge in October 2019. Their time at the lodge was used for a retreat that counted as a three-hour course credit for participating students.

In spring 2019, COBA students were nominated by faculty members to enroll in the class based on various merits, including good grades, leadership skills, and positive relationships with teachers and peers.

Over summer 2019, the students read four books in preparation for the fall 2019 class.

The group spent the weekend hearing Harding alumni share experiences as Christians in the professional world. The students networked in intimate professional settings and participated in group activities.

“I don’t script any of the speakers,” Dr. Allen Frazier, dean of COBA, said. “[But], there are some common themes that they all touched on, and I think that’s one of the cool things. These alumni who are all seeking to be Christian professionals have all done it miles apart, have been in the industry 20 to 30 years, and yet are all saying very close to the same things.”

Senior marketing major Sara Anne Brown said she struggled to identify one speaker as her favorite because of the way they each complemented one another. Brown said there was one message that stood out to her most.

“Knowing who you’re going to be before you get thrown into situations where you’ll be expected to act a certain way [was a message I took away from the retreat],” Brown said. “They really encouraged us to figure out who we were at the end of the day, before those morals would be tested.”

Senior marketing major Taylor Sexton participated in the class in fall 2018. She returned from the weekend retreat with a new perspective on effective leadership.

“So much of being a leader involves service to others,” Sexton said.

“You don’t usually think of it that way. Traditionally, you think of a leader as someone who sits at the top. But, realistically, a good leader puts themselves last and puts serving others first.” story by Everett Kirkman

isa Bryant, assistant professor of education, said she believed “fidgets” were a unique teaching tool her students could utilize to understand the sensory needs of children and adults in a learning environment.

Bryant introduced an assortment of fidgets with various functions into her class time and encouraged her students to choose one that best stimulated their minds. The students were given the opportunity to interact with their fidgets throughout Bryant’s lectures.

“A common misconception about fidgets is that they are simply toys that will create distraction within the classroom, when their purpose is really meant to provoke focus, energy and concentration,” Bryant said. “In reality, most of us are more kinesthetic learners than we want to allow or than other people let us realize.”

Senior communication sciences and disorders major Lea Buchanan, a student of Bryant’s with a minor in special education, said she believed many teachers and professors pressured students to sit still and listen quietly.

“It was so interesting that a teacher would hand out bags full of putties, foams and more and told us to keep one to play with them during her class,” Buchanan said. “I really experienced the calming effects that they had on me while I was learning.”

Bryant said she wanted students in her classes to experience the benefits of fidgets firsthand so they could incorporate them into their teaching careers.

“A big fallacy among teachers and college professors is that just because somebody is not looking at them doesn’t mean they are not paying attention,” Bryant said.

Senior special education major Katie Tracy said she wanted to normalize the use of fidgets in the classroom to build a bridge between special and regular education classes.

“I think more and more students are being diagnosed with disabilities, and they are still being placed in regular classes,” Tracy said. “If fidgets were an everyday resource in the classroom, the use of them to channel anxiety or fatigue wouldn’t seem so strange.”

As Tracy learned more about the use of fidgets, she said she pictured scenarios where a fidget could have been useful when she was student teaching.

“I was working with a kid who was on the [autism] spectrum, and I realized that he liked the way liquids flowed, so I knew he would have enjoyed a fidget that incorporated that,” Tracy said.

Buchanan said she hoped to incorporate the use of fidgets into her speech pathology career as she worked with clients who were diagnosed with different neurological disorders or delays.

“I think my patients will be so much more receptive to therapy if they have easy access to something that could soothe whatever sensory deficit they may have,” Buchanan said. story by Caroline Lea

University College provided students new ways to enrich their academic experiences in graduate and undergraduate programs.

H

arding introduced University College as a new academic unit June 1, 2019, designed to expand the school’s support services and academic programming. Dean of University College Dr. Kevin Kehl spoke about the organization’s purpose.

“We wanted to maximize the resources of the University, and we wanted what we offer here to reflect the evolving landscape of higher education,” Kehl said.

The new organization introduced new areas of study, and improved existing areas and departments. Some of these included the Career Center, University Studies Department, English as a Second Language center, and foundations and developmental courses, as well as academic support programs such as tutoring, supplemental instruction, academic coaching and Harding Hacks.

“It became a college to reflect its service to all of the other colleges,” Kehl said.

Kehl said the idea behind the establishment of University College was to create a single college to house the University’s support services and provide accommodating and valuable academic opportunities.

When building the services that enabled student success, administrators hoped to make them more accessible to students.

A new concept introduced through University College was the integrative studies major. Students could combine two or more academic concentrations or minors. This was a shift from the general studies degree that aimed to be a more desirable option to both students and future employers.

“The exciting part is that it’s a new degree where students can design their own path,” Dr. Heath Carpenter, director of the integrative studies degree program, said.

Carpenter explained he was able to work with students who knew exactly what they wanted, and they could now pull from several different departments and colleges to achieve this “specialized degree plan.”

“I chose to do the major because it allows me to prepare myself better for the path and career that I know I will be pursuing,” junior integrative studies major Easton Davis said. “I am getting the necessary scientific base needed to be knowledgeable and useful in the health field while also getting the unique Christian perspective of culture and poverty and ministry that will most prepare me to be in the business of helping people.”

100

Another new element introduced by University College was exploratory studies. Rather than being undeclared in a major, students referred to it as exploratory. This academic path fell under University College, and students were provided frequent adviser meetings and took a class to help them explore a potential area of study. Kehl explained they wanted to destigmatize the idea of entering college “undeclared,” while guiding students through the process and keeping them on track to graduate on time.

Additionally, University College housed two federally funded programs, McNair Scholars Program and Upward Bound. McNair Scholars, directed by Lolita Meredith, assisted underrepresented Harding students in preparation for graduate schools and future careers. Upward Bound, directed by Stephanie O’Brian, worked with underrepresented high school students in nearby counties.

The introduction of University College was an initiative to further pursue a holistic approach to education and demonstrate Harding’s devotion to the success of its students. Through these programs, old and new, the college sought to help students reach their full potential, both academically and spiritually, by providing maximum opportunities and avenues for growth. story by Madison Scott

Interior design project lead to the redesign of downtown space.

I

n fall 2018, president of Think Idea Studio Mat Faulkner approached Amy Cox, assistant professor of art and design, and proposed a student-led project in Searcy to revamp an abandoned and vandalized lot that was previously home to the Daily Citizen newspaper.

Faulkner’s design proposal coincided with Cox’s annual interior design project she assigned to spark creativity in her students. According to Cox, Faulkner wanted to intertwine a practical space in the community “We envisioned the area becoming a statement piece in Searcy that people could enjoy their lunch breaks at, hang out with their friends and more,” Cox said.

After a semester of cultivating design concepts for the space, Cox asked her students if any of them were interested in presenting their Hannah Porter and Joanna Roberts quickly volunteered.

“We all saw so much potential in the space and thought it would be a really unique opportunity to contribute to Searcy’s aesthetic,” Roberts said.

According to Roberts, the empty lot was of historical importance to

“It was so special to be able to learn how to incorporate the old and the new together in a single project,” Roberts said.

With funding from the Small Business Revolution, the three students helped Faulkner’s dream come to fruition. They designed an enclosed theater that contains a stage for live performances and a turf area for children and families to play or rest. at the August Beats & Eats festival in 2019. According to Coker, the space represented people coming together in a community.

“During our time at Harding, we have been able to give something to Searcy and really just leave our mark here,” “No matter who you are, you’re welcome here,” Coker said. “You can play music or make art. You can just enjoy being yourself there.”

Porter said the opportunity to participate in the community building project was very rewarding.

YEAR, new DEAN new

The College of Allied Health welcomed a new dean.

I

n summer 2019, Dr. Beckie Weaver, former dean of the College of Allied Health, retired, and Dr. Michael McGalliard, associate professor of physical therapy, took her position. McGalliard was a founding member of Harding’s physical therapy graduate program in 2010 and served as director of the physical therapy program.

“I see a lot of great things that God is doing here at Harding, especially in the College of Allied Health, and I just wanted to be a part of seeing that grow and help facilitate what God’s doing here,” McGalliard said.

Dr. Kevin Ramey — associate professor, director and chair of the physical therapy program — said there was a transitional phase with any change in leadership, but he saw the change as a strengthening process. Ramey said there was a diverse set of knowledge between all the various leaders in the College of Allied Health.

“It is nice having a dean that is a physical therapist and knows our needs,” Ramey said.

McGalliard said it was difficult to leave something he started, but he knew the physical therapy program was in good hands. McGalliard said there was an extra level of complexity that came with being the new dean because of the varied policies and procedures in undergraduate and graduate degrees.

Dr. Melanie Meeker, chair of communication sciences and disorders, said McGalliard plugged himself into their field of study.

“He wants to know about our field and programs, which has made him a great team player,” Meeker said.

McGalliard said his job was to understand the different programs and facilitate their success. Meeker said it was a smooth transition from Weaver and McGalliard, and McGalliard brought new ideas to the college. Meeker said she was excited about these changes for future students.

McGalliard said he believed Harding’s program should offer something unique. In the physical therapy program, students in their third year were required to take a medical mission class in Zambia. McGalliard called the class transformational education and believed it helped in producing a specific type of graduate. McGalliard said most universities only required informational learning, but with the requirement of a transformational course, Harding students left with a broadened worldview.

“I would love to see more of the mission’s aspect being emphasized in our health sciences,” McGalliard said. “I think that will enhance our educational experience that we offer, and it will help us draw more students.”

McGalliard said he was thankful for administrators who were supportive of his mission-focused vision and students who wanted to make a difference. story by Kylie Jones

beyond

A NASA chief visited Harding, marking the highest ranking NASA official to visit Arkansas.

D

r. Douglas Terrier, NASA chief technologist, visited Harding to observe research and share NASA’s plan for the future of space travel as the first NASA chief to visit Arkansas. Gov. Asa Hutchinson declared Jan. 27, 2020, “NASA Day” in the state to acknowledge the historic visit. Harding faculty and staff planned a full day of activities for both students and community members.

Terrier acknowledged Harding’s long-standing history with NASA. In the 1960s, Harding received grants to conduct fitness research for the furthering of space exploration. In the following years, Harding completed other NASA-related experiments including analysis of solar flares, laser control of robots and designing atmospheric spectrometers.

In the 2019-20 school year, a number of students performed a variety of studies – in plant growth, ocular degeneration and water purification, for example – through funding from the Arkansas Space Grant Consortium sponsored by NASA. Dr. Dennis Province, professor of chemistry, said he served as an aid to the students involved in the projects, but ultimately, the students carried out the work.

“That’s the thing in all of these studies; I’m not driving this research,” Province said. “Every single one of them has done a great job and has been very successful, so it’s been really fun.”

This current research was part of NASA Day, which began with presentations and exhibits shown to local third through 12th-grade students to educate about past and future space research and exploration.

106

Sophomore Darby Mohon researched plant growth on Mars and shared her experiences with the students. Mohon said she hoped to inspire the students to learn more about NASA and the greatness of the universe.

“I can just remember being in elementary school and hearing about NASA for the first time and the concept of space and stars and the planets and all of that was just so stinking cool,” Mohon said. “[I hope] they can feel a little bit of that inspiration to maybe search for something bigger than themselves.”

After visiting students left, Terrier toured the projects being researched by Harding students. Terrier said many students saw research as something unavailable to undergraduates. He said he was impressed by the work at Harding.

“I think one of the unique things I saw here is that we’ve got young undergraduate students doing real work, creating real new knowledge and new science, new technology,” Terrier said. “I think that’s a remarkable opportunity for the students and for us to bring a different group of folks into this innovation ecosystem.”

The day ended with Terrier speaking to a crowd of students, faculty and community members about NASA’s plan to return to the moon with the Artemis program. Province said he saw the event as a success and hoped Harding would host similar events in the future. story by Emma Aly

I

n fall 2019, students in the fashion merchandising department hosted a fashion show. This was the department’s first show since fall 2016. Senior apparel merchandising major Halle Maddox said she was unable to participate in the show her freshman year, so she was even more excited to help organize the 2019 show.

“This is something apparel majors are putting together,” Maddox said. “It is not for a grade; it is not for a class; it is just something we want to do. They did one my freshman year, but we have not been able to do one since, so we wanted to bring it back and do another one.”

The department decided to make the show a fundraiser. The cost to attend the event was $5 and proceeds went to Center on the Square, a performing arts theater in Searcy. Maddox said the head of the department often worked with the theater, so it was an easy decision.

The theme of the fashion show was “The Art of Texture.” Junior apparel merchandising major Hannah Rushing, director of the show, said she chose the theme because of how trendy textures were in 2019.

“I knew it was an upcoming trend,” Rushing said. “Especially for the fall, there were a lot of sequins and furry sweaters and teddy bear coats.”

Sophomore apparel merchandising Danaisha Wester said each of the pieces featured in the show came from local boutiques around Searcy and Little Rock, Arkansas, as well as seniors within the department.

Several students from the department helped run and coordinate the fashion show. Junior Abby Dahlem worked on the hair and makeup committee.

“The team I am on [applied] makeup and [styled] hair for each of the 21 models,” Dahlem said. “We also assisted the model management team in ensuring each model is dressed properly and lined up in time to take the runway.”

Dahlem said the people involved assisted each committee as needed.

Maddox said the process leading up to the show was good preparation for what was to come in their careers after Harding.

“Just working with a team of girls within our major and having to coordinate and delegate tasks in order to work toward one thing has been good,” Maddox said. “It is just a great experience to take with us after we graduate.” story by Emma Vaughn

The graduate students assessed their assigned elementary students at the beginning of the semester, planned an intervention strategy, and worked weekly with their students to achieve reading goals.

Master of education graduate student Abigail Jones said the graduate students planned their own reading intervention lessons and personalized the focus to aid each elementary student’s struggles.

Jones said the fieldwork at McRae strengthened her teaching strategies when working with students. Jones said the unique approach to the class allowed the graduate students to work with individual children.

“They get one-on-one intensive intervention that’s totally focused on them,” Jones said.

Bethany Philpot, literacy coach at McRae, taught the graduate class. The graduate students met every Monday from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at McRae and taught elementary students. The 10 graduate students paired up and taught their assigned students before switching to teach their partner’s students. Afterward, the elementary students went home, and Philpot held a coaching session from 5 to 6 p.m. for the graduate students.

Master of education graduate student Kenzie Thompson said she spent hours planning intervention lessons for her students at McRae. Thompson said she used a variety of teaching techniques such as multisensory activities and reading aloud to help her students overcome reading challenges. Thompson said they worked to make the sessions engaging and fun for the children.

“They’re playing; they’re doing activities,” Thompson said. “We try to make it fun. They’ve been in school all day, and then they have to come back to school.”

Master of education graduate student Kerri Kramer said the class held themed nights for Halloween and Christmas.

The graduate students planned their lessons around themed activities to match the holiday and bring extra cheer.

Kramer said their goal was to make the experience fun for students who had negative associations with reading.

“I think the students already have so many negative associations with reading, and it’s just been an awesome opportunity to get to build their confidence,” Kramer said. story by Audrey Jackson

Senior Jay Bogardus glorified God with his musical talents.

S

enior mechanical engineering major Jay Bogardus found unexpected success after releasing a handful of songs with his band “Luke and Jay” on Spotify early in 2019.

Within the first two weeks of the debut of their song, “Runneth Over,” Bogardus and his bandmate, Luke Hill, received over a thousand streams. In the following six months, they added two new songs and increased their numbers to over 150,000 streams total.

Both Hill and Bogardus learned to play music at young ages. Bogardus played guitar for nearly 10 years. He took lessons for the first couple of years but then taught himself through YouTube videos and practice.

Hill started singing at age 8 and playing the guitar at age 11. He also learned to play bass, piano, drums and ukulele. Bogardus said because of their different musical backgrounds, he and Hill complemented each other nicely and were equipped with unique skills.

Hill and Bogardus both grew up in Huntsville, Alabama, but did not start playing music together until they were older. Originally, Hill had another band comprised of mutual friends from their church, and after four years, Bogardus joined them. When that band dispersed, Hill and Bogardus continued to create and perform music through their new band, “Luke and Jay.” After their initial success on Spotify, Hill and Bogardus began writing and producing more music to add to their repertoire. Their

118

writing process grew in complexity while they lived in different states, with Hill in Alabama and Bogardus in Arkansas.

“We’re limited in time and consistency in audio recording, but that’s really the only negative,” Hill said. “The positive is there is always surprises in writing and creativity.”

According to Hill, because they chose to produce their own music, they had absolute freedom and control to develop each song as they imagined. This allowed them to work at their own pace and reach out to friends in the music industry whenever they needed advice. “[The music industry] is very unpredictable [and] very risky, but the goal is never going to be to get famous or have a lot of money,” Bogardus said. “I just want to make sure that it stays us doing what we love for the glory of God.” Senior Jason Lightfoot, a childhood friend of Bogardus, said Bogardus’ music reflected his spiritual focus. Lightfoot said Bogardus was humbled by his online success.

“I would say he sees this as a gift from God,” Lightfoot said. “[It’s] really something his ministry is supposed to be.”

Senior Madison Ceurter dove head first into the theater world of Harding.

S

enior athletic training major Madison Ceurter danced competitively before she transferred to Harding in spring 2017.

Ceurter majored in dance at her previous school and said though she was not in a social club yet, she knew she wanted to continue dancing by participating in Spring Sing.

Ceurter was passionate about dance and choreography but could not direct a Spring Sing show until she joined a social club. Her junior year, after joining women’s social club Ju Go Ju, she directed the women’s social clubs Ju Go Ju and Ko Jo Kai, men’s social club Sub T-16, and friends show. She said she gained valuable insight into herself and her social club from the yearlong process.

“Honestly, all of Ju Go Ju really came together to help the show come to life,” Ceurter said. “That sense of togetherness and hard work from members of all ages gave the show the edge it needed to earn runner-up overall.”

As a director for the 2019 show, Ceurter spent a lot of time with faculty involved with Spring Sing. Early into the spring 2019 semester, Dottie Frye, assistant professor of theatre, said she saw something special in Ceurter and asked if she was interested in continuing her career in student productions. In fall 2019, Ceurter choreographed the Homecoming musical, “Matilda,” and performed a small supporting role. Ceurter also choreographed the ensemble for the 2020 Spring Sing show.

She said the transition from dancer to choreographer was a continual learning experience throughout the whole process.

“We had rehearsal every night, but she did so much work outside of that as well,” sophomore Emily Whitehorn, a member of the “Matilda” production, said. “She’s a great teacher, which is hard to come across a lot of times. It’s one thing to be able to choreograph, but it’s another thing to be able to teach people well — people who haven’t danced their whole life and make it sharp and clean.”

Senior Justice Laws watched Ceurter’s transition from director to choreographer throughout summer and fall 2019. Laws said he was impressed with how Ceurter took charge of the responsibilities they shared coming into the 2019-20 school year.

“I think the biggest way I have seen Madison grow is with the way she has been able to slowly, but surely, get closer to the cast,” Laws said. “It is a lot easier to teach people you are comfortable with, so it’s been really cool to see how she’s been able to connect more with the cast throughout the past few weeks.”

Ceurter said she planned to pursue athletic training, ideally with athletes involved in competitive dancing. She said her love for the sport grew throughout her junior and senior year, and she continued to learn with each rehearsal. story by Everett Kirkman

self-taught entrepreneur

Senior Victor Iris Del Prado founded his own company before attending Harding.

S

enior software development major Victor Iris Del Prado started his own company in 2012 at 14 years old. Based out of his bedroom and high school computer lab in Villahermosa, Mexico, Iris Del Prado designed and maintained websites for local clients. In 2016, Iris Del Prado arrived as a freshman at Harding, where he also gained a U.S. clientele.

Iris Del Prado started his software development company after bargaining with his teachers for an excuse from a school activity in return for a website. After that initial project, Iris Del Prado said he accepted small projects from classmates, acquaintances and teachers. He taught himself basic software development to fulfill project requirements.

“He had to go out and learn the tools to program,” Dr. Scott Ragsdale, associate professor of computer science, said. “Now, if you’re not a motivated person, you will not do that because that’s hard. That is very hard at his age, and there are a lot of skills.”

Ragsdale said, in his 35 years working at Harding, he did not know of any other computer science students who ran their own businesses in addition to school work.

“I think certainly having some business experience and real world experience, you kind of understand that somebody’s got to pay for the software to be developed, and they’ve got certain goals,” Dr. Frank McCown, associate professor of computer science, said. “We tell our

122

seniors

students that in classes when we say, ‘Here’s the scenario, and here’s what you’re going to do when you leave here.’ But [Victor has] actually experienced that, so he knows, ‘Oh yeah, you’ve actually got to fulfill these requirements that the customer is giving you or you don’t get paid.’”

Iris Del Prado planned to return to Mexico after graduating from Harding to focus on the growth of his company. Iris Del Prado said there was an opportunity to expand the software development job field in Mexico as future entrepreneurs inherited companies.

“One time we got a client, and we made a website for them,” Iris Del Prado said. “But, the process was really interesting because we had to make them think that we were this massive corporation with offices and those kinds of developers at an office. But, in fact, it was just me in my pjs in my dorm, just coding there. When we had meetings using FaceTime, I just had to make sure that the top part of me looked like I was in an office.” story by Audrey Jackson

or senior Jed Meyers, the Disney College Program was an internship in the land of dreams. Meyers and other students who participated in the program worked at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, managing rides and attractions or greeting park guests as they entered. Meyers, who participated in the program in fall 2019, said the job was a wonderful experience, and the best part about the program was getting to make new friends.

“The best thing for me has been the people,” Meyers said. “It’s just such a large corporation, [and it would be easy] for it to just be kind of a cold work environment, and it has just been the exact opposite. I’ve only known some of these people for two months, but they’ve already become some of my closest friends.”

Junior Madison Meeks recalled her experience with the Disney College Program fondly. Meeks, who participated in the program in fall 2018, worked in Hollywood Studios and other areas of the park, and she was one of the staff members who greeted visitors face-to-face.

Meeks said one of her favorite aspects of the job was participating in “magic moments.”

“One of my favorite things is when you see [a] Make-a-Wish family come through,” Meeks said. “A lot of times they would have magic moments, and so if a child came up to you, and their parents were like, ‘Oh, we don’t have enough money for that,’ or ‘We can’t do this,’ especially if they have anything on — like Make-a-Wish anything — a lot of times, we could just patch it on our radio and tell our supervisors what was up, and they would be like, ‘Make their day.’”

Senior Justice Laws planned to perform in Disney parades after graduating in December 2019. Laws looked forward to collaboration of many backgrounds in the Disney College Program.

“I am most excited about getting to work and perform with such a diverse group of people,” Laws said. “We all come from such different backgrounds, but we will all be representing such a well known and respected company.”

Meeks emphasized the importance of participating in the Disney College Program if a student wanted to work at Disney later in life.

2018 alumna Kennedy Priest echoed that belief. Priest worked as a costuming hostess in 2018 and proceeded to work full time after she completed the program. Priest encouraged anyone who was interested in participating with the program to remember that it was more than a job; it was also an experience worth having.

“You’ll have little kids who see their favorite princess for the first time, and it’s the most heartwarming thing you’ll ever see,” Priest said.

“It’s precious; and so you have a lot of hard days, and we have a lot of days [that you] will remember for the rest of your life.” story by Elizabeth Shores

Senior Madeline Adkins spent summer 2019 in Athens, Greece, ministering and evangelizing to refugees.

I

nternational programs broadened student perspectives in many ways. For senior social work major Madeline Adkins, her time at the Harding University in Florence and Greece (HUF-HUG) program in fall 2017 led to a summer 2019 internship in Athens, Greece, and a newfound desire to serve.

During Adkins’ time at HUF-HUG, a group of Harding students volunteered their Monday nights to serve “love meals” at a local soup kitchen with Hellenic Ministries, an organization dedicated to the evangelization of Greece. Adkins said her experiences helped her discover a passion for service.

“After that, I just thought about it and decided I wanted to major in social work and really emphasize working with refugees,” Adkins said.

Following Adkins’ semester abroad, she was encouraged to apply for an internship with Hellenic Ministries assisting refugees in Athens. Through the organization, she served with several smaller ministries that enabled her to prepare meals, work at a refugee camp and distribute Bibles.

Adkins said her involvement with the various ministries emboldened her to share Christ with the refugees arriving in Greece. refugee crisis and these people who would never know Christ because of the country that they come from,” Adkins said. “[It was] just a really incredible opportunity to bear witness to what’s happening in Athens

congregate there to work alongside refugees and the Greek people.”

2019 alumna Lindsey Webb ministered in Athens with Adkins and said she appreciated the time they spent working together.

“I am so thankful that the Lord allowed our paths to cross this summer,” Webb said. “She always gave me constant love and encouragement all summer long. I knew that I could talk to her about anything, and I don’t know what I would have done without her.”

Doctor of physical therapy graduate student Brenna Walters worked with Hellenic Ministries during her time at HUG in summer 2017. She “The Hellenic Ministries were well organized and inviting to both those in need and those willing to help,” Walters said. “The workers and volunteers demonstrated nothing but respect and care for those who walked in the door asking for help.”

Though Adkins enjoyed her time in Athens and appreciated the expansion of her personal perspective, she said she struggled with returning to normal life.

“The big thing I guess is just seeing God in such huge ways and just such evident ways and then coming back to a comfortable, pretty easy life,” Adkins said. “It’s just trying so hard to seek God in those small moments in the day to day and just know that he is not just present in Greece, but present everywhere.” story by Emma Aly & Hannah Read

MCLARTY PARTY unmasked Senior Sam Anderson created Harding’s original meme account, McLarty Party.

I

n February 2017, senior civil engineering major Sam Anderson created the “McLarty Party” meme account on Instagram. It was initially a comedic outlet shared privately among friends that grew into a campus-wide phenomenon.

Anderson was in the second semester of his freshman year when he and some friends conceptualized the idea.

“We just kind of saw that there was something missing, aka no meme accounts for Harding, and so I was like, ‘I guess I’ll start it, then,’” Anderson said. “No real reason why I did it; I was just bored one day.”

Anderson’s boredom developed into something that was a source of entertainment in the lives of students for the following three years. After two years of online activity, the account had over 4,000 followers. Senior Camden Marshall, a friend of Anderson’s, was present when the account was created and said no one predicted it would gain such momentum.

“It was a secret for a while that he was running it,” Marshall said.

“Then we saw how popular it was becoming and just could not believe it.”

Marshall said there were a lot of great meme accounts created shortly after their account’s inception but believed none of them would surpass “McLarty Party.”

Zach Neal, dean of students, said none of the deans had any problems with Anderson’s account.

“All of us [deans] had the same immediate reaction,” Neal said.

“We just see it as all in good fun.”

Neal said President Bruce McLarty did a great job letting students poke fun and interact with him, so if McLarty was fine with the account, so were the deans.

Anderson said he actively tried to create content that represented Harding appropriately without pushing the limits.

“I didn’t really give it much thought early on because there weren’t many followers, but now it’s like half of the students here,” Anderson said. “So, I try to remember that [I am] representing the students and their opinions to the administration and all the parents and basically anyone else.”

Anderson said he loved running the account for students’ entertainment but was unsure if he would hand ownership of the account to another student after he graduated.

“On one hand, yeah, it’d be cool if it kept going on for future generations,” Anderson said. “On the other hand, I want to keep the quality top notch, so if I handed it off to someone else, I would want to make sure they are pretty great and they’re up to the test.” story by Emma Vaughn

A

dance class designed by junior child life major Faith Sibert gave children with disabilities in the Searcy community the opportunity to dance without fear or limitation. Dance Beyond Boundaries encouraged children to connect with others who shared similar interests and to be themselves.

As a college student planning to pursue occupational therapy and with a passion for children with disabilities, Sibert decided to combine her two passions.

“I started teaching at Searcy School of Dance as an assistant teacher last year, and I thought, ‘What better time to make this dream a reality?’”

Sibert said. “I ran the idea by the studio owner here in Searcy. She loved it and said that she would help me out, but this class would be all mine.

I decided to call it Dance Beyond Boundaries so that everyone would know that there are no boundaries in dance. The kids become limitless.”

“There are no boundaries in dance.

The kids become limitless.”

Sibert said Dance Beyond Boundaries was a work in progress, as she searched for college students to serve as special helpers assigned to each child. The job of the helpers was to work during each class session to challenge the children to fully express themselves and feel comfortable.

Sibert visited a dance studio for children with disabilities in summer 2019 in Mobile, Alabama, which prepared her to start her own dance class.

Junior Briley Saunders, a friend of Sibert, planned to work with children with disabilities as a career. Saunders expressed her enthusiasm for the class and knew it represented more than just dance.

“When Faith first approached me about helping with this class over the summer, I was thrilled,” Saunders said. “I look forward to building relationships with the kids and getting more experience working with kids who have special needs.”

Junior Kaitlyn Francois, a friend of Sibert, said Sibert’s passion for others was indicative of her character.

“Faith is such a hard worker,” Francois said. “She is determined to make a change in the world.”

Dance Beyond Boundaries allowed Harding students to use their talents and education for a career and to better serve people and the Searcy community.

“My favorite part is just seeing the look on the kids’ faces,” Sibert said. “They don’t get to do stuff like this every day, and they get really excited about it. Even just the little things like playing freeze dance or [letting] them jump on the trampoline, and they think that’s just the coolest thing ever.”

Sibert planned to continue the project as long as she could. She said there were always needs waiting to be met.

“I would love to keep it going for as long as I can,” Sibert said. “It has been a dream of mine to open up a studio one day, specifically for special needs children.” story by Will Allen

Junior Nathan Mayes found a whole new meaning to ‘man’s best friend.’

I

n April 2019, junior visual art studio major Nathan Mayes adopted and rehabilitated an orphaned raccoon. Mayes said his family was known for taking in unusual animals including squirrels, raccoons and deer. His parents’ neighbors gave them three orphaned raccoons after the mother was killed. Mayes said his family gave the female to a rehabilitator and kept the two males, Simon and Theo, in hopes of rehabilitating them and returning them to the wild.

Mayes said they decided to keep Simon as a pet, even after returning his brother to the wild, because he was gentle and friendly.

“Simon was just really easy-going,” Mayes said. “So we got him harness trained, and he did the litter box on his own finally. That took a while.”

Mayes said he decided to take Simon with him to college because he did not want to let him go. He said Simon had his own room at Mayes’ grandparents’ house in Beebe, Arkansas, where Mayes lived off campus.

“He likes to play a lot normally around 9 o’clock at night because they are nocturnal,” Mayes said. “He’s also really sweet and will just want to chill on the couch sometimes, watch TV.” Freshman Annie Davis, Mayes’ girlfriend, said she was excited to meet the baby raccoons when the family first found them because she

also loved animals. Davis said her favorite memory with Simon was his first club softball game. She said Simon was scared and held onto her as he sat in her lap.

“He just kept looking up at me and licking my hand,” Davis said.

“That was probably my favorite memory because we definitely bonded.”

Davis and Mayes both said Simon liked sports, going to Harding football games and watching television with them.

Other friends of Mayes said they enjoyed being around Simon because of his puppy-like sociability.

“I do like to hang out with him,” junior Trey Thomas, friend of Mayes, said. “He’s very social like a dog, but he also likes to climb on you like a cat.”

Mayes echoed junior Grant Wood’s sentiment, who referred to Simon as “a raccoon of the people.” However, Mayes also mentioned Simon had typical raccoon qualities that sometimes got him in trouble.

“Raccoons, they get into everything you don’t want them to, so he knows how to do that,” Mayes said. “He’s a mess more than he’s sweet, but he can be sweet.” story by Sarah Barnard

Junior Zane Harris flew drones to find a unique perspective on and off campus.

A

s of the fall 2019 semester, junior electronic media production major Zane Harris had flown drones professionally and captured overview pictures for 2 1/2 years. Harris said he began flying small remote control helicopters when he was 5 years old, moving on to bigger projects as he got older.

Harris’ interest in drone photography sparked when he discovered how to take photos on GoPro cameras.

“One day when I was at a beach before drones were so popular, I attached a GoPro to a kite to take an overview picture of the beach,” Harris said. “Once I did that, I thought it was a really cool perspective that not a lot of people get to see. It’s lower than a helicopter but above what anyone can normally capture with a camera.”

He worked with a photographer named Tim Sitler, who went to his church. Sitler taught him how to use the camera features of the GoPro, and Harris taught himself the drone features of the device. Sitler gave Harris advice on marketing skills.

“Continue to network and market yourself, but make sure to show only your best work,” Sitler said. “You never know where your next big job will come from. You need to stay informed about your market and competition, but don’t obsess. Obsess on your own business and service.”

Beginning in 2016, Harris captured aerial pictures with his commercial license. He had the opportunity to work with many different companies in Arkansas in the fields of construction, real estate and roofing. He also gained experience in college by capturing shots for a recruitment video for women’s social club Zeta Rho. In fall 2019, junior Abigail King, Zeta Rho recruitment director, wanted to make their video stand out, which was where Harris stepped in.

“We were trying to figure out a way to do something interesting for our recruitment video since a lot of times it can be repetitive,” King said. “It was so cool that Zane got to use his talents to help us out and make that a reality.”

Harris hoped to work with drones for movies, advertisements and professional athletes in the future.

“I would love to do something for a professional surfer, snowboarder or skier and get to travel to a lot of different places for it and document a lot of things that people don’t get to see on a regular basis,” Harris said. story by Grace Baker

or two summers, junior English major Madalyn Van Eaton guided several groups of high school students up a mountain for an organization called Wilderness Trek Expeditions.

Van Eaton spent summer 2018 and 2019 in Salida, Colorado, while leading five- or six-day trips for nine weeks with only one day off in between.

Growing up, she went on Trek as a camper twice, and she found a love for the experience. She knew many people in her life who served as guides over the years, and they encouraged her to apply for the position.

Van Eaton ran to keep in shape throughout the year. Outside of cardiovascular conditioning, she said not much training went into preparing to work as a guide.

“It’s a weird thing; once you get out there, God just provides strength you didn’t know you were capable of having,” Van Eaton said. “I do try to run and be active throughout the year, but for the most part, once you get there, God provides us strength and endurance that you can have for the whole summer, which is really cool.”

Van Eaton said mountain guiding shaped her outlook on life and molded her into a better person. Junior Cameron Shappley, Van Eaton’s boyfriend, said he saw the difference it made in her life.

“The way she talked about it showed how it’s been one of the greatest experiences that she’s had; it helped her grow as a leader,” Shappley said.

“Leading the groups up the mountains and setting an example for them is a very hard thing to do. It was a lot of discipline, but it’s very beneficial to her life, and that’s been shown afterwards as well.”

During the Trek experience, the hikers had the chance to face physical and mental challenges while in the presence of God. Emily Gibbons, a fellow trek guide with Van Eaton, said individual growth and experience were different for each person, and she got to experience it all summer.

“It has definitely shaped all of our lives in ways we couldn’t have predicted,” Gibbons said. “Getting to guide with Madalyn was so special because I’ve had the gift of watching her grow into her own strength and love for God and start to truly use her gifts to bless other people. Because of the nature of the job, we all consider each other family in the truest sense — the most clear picture of the body of Christ I’ve experienced to date.” story by Grace Baker

seconds of fame

Sophomore Jada Robison rose to social media stardom with a popular online video.

D

uring 2019, TikTok grew in popularity as a social media platform.

Users were drawn to the platform because it offered a space where people did not take themselves too seriously and interacted with people across the country or on the other side of the globe. Harding students took a particular interest in the app, and some found online success through it.

Sophomore public relations major Jada Robison started using TikTok in July 2019. She said it was her dream to “make it big” in the social media world and originally made a TikTok account because she thought it was an effective way to accumulate a following before transitioning to a YouTube channel.

After using TikTok for a month, her account spiked in popularity when she uploaded a video that received over 327,000 likes. Robison said that after this, her account gained momentum and received sporadic attention in smaller doses. However, shortly after the start of the fall 2019 semester, Robison’s video went viral and received over one million likes.

In the video, Robison personified the zipper on a fellow TikTok user’s jacket. She said she never expected the video to gain the popularity it did.

Once the video gained traction, Robison was affectionately known as “Zipper Girl” among the TikTok community.

“It’s just so funny how it happened, because I was having the worst day,” Robison said. “The only thing I wanted to do was put a sweater over my head and move around, so that’s what I did.”

Robison said after her TikTok video went viral, she considered what she wanted her social media brand or reputation to be. To Robison, making a name for herself was not only about gaining followers or likes, but she also wanted to use it as a platform to spread positivity and encouragement.

“I kind of want to be different,” Robison said. “I want to be interactive.

I want to spread love and positivity to everyone.”

“I want to spread love and positivity to everyone.”

Sophomore Jewel Gilbert started using TikTok in early January 2019 and said she was one of Robison’s first followers. The women were acquaintances before using TikTok but interacted and grew closer through the app. Gilbert said she was drawn to Robison’s upbeat, positive disposition.

“Sometimes, if I’m just having a bad day, I go to Jada’s profile,” Gilbert said.

Senior Macey Vaught used TikTok and posted a few videos that became popular. When referring to Robison, she also noticed the positive impact she had.

“She’s always just posting very funny videos, and she wants to make people laugh,” Vaught said. “I don’t think that it’s for her own benefit necessarily, but she just wants to spread joy and positivity into their lives.” story by Madison Scott

Sophomores Walter Aragón, Jair Lopez, Daryelis de León, Julio Montenegro and Denilson Lemus gather on the Front Lawn while representing Seeds of Hope Sept. 22, 2019. Montenegro founded the organization in 2017. | photo by Stanley Morales

Sophomore Julio Montenegro spread the message and love of Jesus in Nicaragua and Guatemala.

S

ophomore international business major Julio Montenegro grew up volunteering at an orphanage in his home country of Nicaragua. His mother was a doctor who provided free medical consultations at the Hogar del Niño orphanage, so he knew many of the children from the time he was 10 years old. In 2017, Montenegro offered English tutoring and helped them with school assignments.

“When I came to Harding, I knew that I had the opportunity to improve what I was currently doing,” Montenegro said. “That’s how the idea of Seeds of Hope started.”

After coming to Harding, Montenegro brainstormed ways he could continue to help the children in Nicaragua while away at school and realized he could use the skills he learned to continue improving what he had already done. After a spring break mission trip to the Dominican Republic, Montenegro and fellow sophomores Walter Aragón, Denilson Lemus, Daryelis de León and Jair Lopez assembled to create a project to continue serving the children from Montenegro’s home and spread the idea to more countries despite being thousands of miles away.

Similar to Montenegro, Aragón had the idea to teach English when he was home in Guatemala but did not have all the resources necessary to do so.

“When they told me about this project, I agreed, and so I started to work on the worksheets and everything to teach the children,” Aragón said.

Seeds of Hope reached both Nicaragua and Guatemala, and they wanted to create curriculum and programs that met the needs of each country.

They kept the project running during the 2018-19 school year through various means. One of Montenegro’s friends met with the

children while he was gone to keep the program running in Nicaragua, and Aragón continued the work by creating weekly worksheets to send to his students while he was away.

“Right now, Seeds of Hope is running in Nicaragua and Guatemala, but I think it would be cool if we could run it in El Salvador one day, as well as other countries in Central America,” Lopez said.

Moving forward, the Seeds of Hope project intended to expand and reach more children and countries throughout Central America.

“But our project was not only to teach them English but was also to teach them about the Bible and Jesus,” Aragón said.

The team explained that helping children learn English and assisting with schoolwork was a big part of their mission, but the project was primarily focused on discipleship. Many of the children went through difficult times, so Seeds of Hope was an initiative to help them move past similar experiences and show the children they could overcome such adversity, as well as help those around them.

“I approached them in teaching English, but that wasn’t my goal,” Montenegro said. “I used the English to preach to those kids and share time with them, so they could see that they have people that care about them.”

De León said she remembered when Montenegro asked the children to share their hopes and dreams, and she said it was impactful to think about how Seeds of Hope could be a stepping stone on the path to helping the children shape and achieve their goals.

“When you give a kid attention, and you start giving them time, that is like the best thing you can offer them to help them grow,” de León said. “The mission is to plant a seed in their lives so they can grow.” story by Madison Scott

change of plans Sophomore Chloe Anderson’s plans to study abroad in Zambia were interrupted by a medical condition.

A

s a freshman, French major Chloe Anderson prepared to begin her sophomore year at the Harding in Zambia (HIZ) program to determine if she would pursue medical missions long term. However, a few months before she was set to leave, a medical report indicated she had a herniated disc in her spine, requiring surgery.

While sitting in the doctor’s office, Anderson said she immediately knew studying abroad was no longer an option.

“If I had gone to Zambia and had some sort of accident, then I would have to have had surgery within three days, and if you have surgery in Zambia, then there is a good chance that you don’t come back home,” Anderson said.

Instead of studying abroad in fall 2019, Anderson stayed home to recover from her operation, but she kept in touch with her friends in Zambia and sent words of encouragement.

Senior Cailin Chenault, who attended HIZ in fall 2019, said she kept Anderson in the back of her mind every day as she worked in Zambia.

“I think that she would have thrived in this atmosphere because Chloe is a person who pours herself into other people and is just very generous with her spirit, and that’s very much the nature of this program,” Chenault said.

Sophomore Maddy Hall, Anderson’s friend, said she remembered the day Anderson told her she wanted to study abroad at the HIZ program.

“I felt that it was a very spirit-led decision and that her desire to go to HIZ was out of the belief that she could serve God well there,” Hall said.

When Anderson learned she could not serve in Zambia, she said she was disappointed because she longed for the opportunity to depend on God and grow spiritually by serving others.

“I have a huge passion for wanting to help people, and I thought that [Zambia] would have been a beautiful opportunity for me to help others in a place outside of my comfort zone,” Anderson said.

Anderson used her recovery to seek God in her own life and to minister to both friends from her hometown and at school.

Chenault said she believed God fulfilled Anderson’s desire to grow spiritually and serve others by keeping her home.

“Knowing Chloe, knowing her heart for people and knowing the humble way she carries her heart, I have no doubt that her impact is not limited by being at home but magnified because she is so dependent on the Lord,” Chenault said. “She is making an impact, just not here [in Zambia].”

As for studying abroad in the future, Anderson said she was unsure if she would be able to travel to Zambia because of her degree plan but remained hopeful for a future opportunity.

“I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that God can use me anywhere,” Anderson said. story by Caroline Lea

Sophomore Dylan Johnston found his voice through Christian rap.

T

here were many creative outlets for college students, and for sophomore broadcast journalist major Dylan Johnston, it was Christian rap. For about three years, Johnston wrote, released and performed his own music under the name “TheRealDyl.” Once Johnston received a beat from a producer, he started writing. He released two albums by fall 2019.

Johnston’s inspiration for his music came from artists he listened to and his life experiences. Because a surplus of artists made it challenging for Johnston to gain attention, he promoted his work to his followers on Instagram and used promotional ads. At times, Johnston faced backlash from others because of his music.

“For Christian rap, people don’t really give it a opportunity as much,” Johnston said. “When people hear it, they think of 2010 Christian rap when there were only a few Christian rappers. It has evolved now where it’s a lot different.”

Johnston had the chance to perform live multiple times. In 2019, he performed at a church’s Easter services. It was the largest gig he had booked to that point, with a total of 5,000 people in attendance.

Johnston worked on building his own team for the creative process.

He collaborated with a beat producer, studio manager and graphic

designer for his merchandise. Sophomore Hallie Beck helped Johnston promote his merchandise.

“In July, [Dylan] messaged me on Snapchat and said he had new merch that just dropped,” Beck said. “He wanted to see if I would promote it since I keep up with my Instagram and have good content.

So, he sent me a free T-shirt in the mail, and I got one of my friends to take pictures of me wearing it. He posted them on Instagram and Facebook, and I put them on my Instagram story.”

Johnston featured other artists in some of his songs as well. Christian singer Donell Taggart worked with him on his previous album.

“I love Dylan’s heart and his story,” Taggart said. “I think the things he has been through is what makes him the artist he is today and gives him the passion to work harder everyday.”

Johnston said he was unsure of what the future held for his music career but was excited to see where it took him.

“I’m majoring in broadcast journalism for security, but with music, I guess it just depends on the next five years and where it takes me,” Johnston said. “A lot of people don’t realize it takes a long time for you to get where you want to be. You could put in 10 years of hard work before you make it. I’m going to keep doing it … and see where it goes.” story by Grace Baker

Freshman Amanda Brown encouraged school spirit through social media.

F

reshman criminal justice and psychology major Amanda Brown started the HUBisonBoom Instagram account Sept. 19, 2019, to boost campus morale. She used the platform worked to engage the student body in Harding athletic events.

Brown posted dress-up themes to encourage students to participate and attend football games and said she hoped the themed events would spur student involvement. Brown said it was important to support the hard work of the athletic teams.

“I feel like by having school spirit, we serve those who are on those sports teams and who are training every day to do what they love,” Brown said. “I feel like to back them up on that is pretty amazing and for them to have that support ... because sports and athletics can get difficult, especially balancing those with academics.”

Senior Lew Knapp said as a member of the Thundering Herd Marching Band, it was disheartening when students lacked enthusiasm at sporting events. Both Brown and Knapp said showing school spirit at games supported student athletes.

“I know that in years past, we have been the only ones really cheering,” Knapp said. “Except for this year, of course, because the lovely Amanda Brown has brought that cheer.”

Brown said she met with Logan Light, director of campus life, and Hannah Owens, director of digital media, about a future partnership with the Campus Activities Board and planned themed events and giveaways for the 2019-20 school year. Brown said she hoped to continue running the account while she was a student at Harding.

The Harding University Bookstore (HUB) promoted Brown’s account on their own Instagram feed when she posted events such as a Hawaiian theme on Sept. 27, 2019, and her pink-out theme on Oct. 4, 2019. Angela Shaw, operations support assistant for HUB, said student-run accounts were important for Harding employees to understand student interests. Shaw said having school spirit did not only include being proud of an institution, but also the students, faculty and employees who formed it.

“I’m going to rely on Dr. Burks’ classic word: ‘camaraderie’,” Shaw said. “There are so many different aspects of our lives where we’re not connected. We all have these different things, and I just think that’s another way that we can all be on the same page.” story by Audrey Jackson

Freshman Lily Stebbins laughs in the lobby of the George S. Benson Auditorium after chapel Nov. 11, 2019. Stebbins graduated high school a year early to attend Harding. | photo by Stanley Morales

Freshman Lily Stebbins finished high school one year early to attend Harding.

S

eventeen-year-old freshman integrated marketing communication major Lily Stebbins came to Harding following her older brother, freshman media production major Sam Stebbins, after graduating from high school a year early.

The Stebbins siblings moved from Hanover, New Hampshire, to Fayetteville, Arkansas, when Lily Stebbins was 12 years old. From that time, both siblings were homeschooled.

Lily Stebbins started homeschooling in eighth grade and took high school level classes with her brother. By the time she completed her junior year of high school, she already had a complete transcript.

The Stebbins siblings heard about Harding through their youth group’s visit to Uplift every summer. Lily Stebbins attended the camp for the first time in June 2015 and returned each year.

“I realized all of this in June while my brother was attending the first session of Bison Bound,” Lily Stebbins said. “It hit me that I would be homeschooling alone for my senior year, and I could not imagine having to do that. So, I convinced my mom to let me talk to admissions. Long story short, I was accepted on June 18 — the day after my 17th birthday!”

Steve Shaner, assistant professor of communication, who met the Stebbins siblings during Bison Bound in June, said Sam Stebbins registered for classes, and his little sister just came along for the ride.

freshmen

“I engaged them in conversation, along with their mom, and found out that only Sam was coming to school in the fall,” Shaner said.

He invited the siblings to come by his office and jokingly told Lily Stebbins if she could graduate high school early, he would set her up with a schedule as well. He said he never imagined she would go home and accomplish this challenge.

Shaner later received an email from Lily Stebbins saying she would be attending Bison Bound in July to register for classes as well.

“They may not be twins, but they are as close as a brother and sister could be without being twins,” Shaner said. “They are just sweet, sweet siblings. Harding is blessed to have both of them.”

Lily Stebbins said she was grateful for the people she met at Harding.

“I have met so many lovely and unique people already,” Lily Stebbins said. “My roommate — who was randomly assigned to live with me — and I get along really well, which is such a blessing.”

Sam Stebbins spoke about his first semester fondly.

“It has been great so far – I have been learning more and growing closer to God; what more could you ask for?” Sam Stebbins said. story by Alexandra Regida

BEST FRIEND

Freshman Jamie Dye and her service dog, Gabriel, went through the club process side by side.

F

reshman special education major Jamie Dye joined women’s social club Regina in fall 2019 and participated in club week activities with her service dog, Gabriel.

Senior Rachael Jones, president of Regina, said she first met Dye at social club officer open house on the Front Lawn and got to know her better through conversation at social club open house in the Ganus Activities Complex. Jones said she thought Dye appreciated how the women in Regina were respectful of her service dog because they learned beforehand from Dye’s sister and older Regina member, junior Rachel Dye, how to interact with service dogs.

“I think part of the reason she chose Regina is because we were prepared for that, and we didn’t try to touch him or anything — she doesn’t like when people ask to pet him,” Jones said. “So, us knowing that ahead of time was really helpful and just like respecting the boundaries. [We] don’t get too close to him because he’s doing a job, and we can’t distract him.”

Jamie Dye said she chose Regina because they understood her needs during the club process.

“It was stressful and overwhelming, but it was a lot of fun,” Jamie Dye said. “They were very nice … not like ‘Oh, she has a dog; she has a disability.

We don’t want her.’ They were like, ‘How can we help you ... so we can help you get through this?’”

Junior Shelby Rhoades, fellow Regina new member, said seeing Gabriel perform his jobs for Jamie Dye throughout the week was fun to watch.

Jamie Dye said he performed jobs like deep pressure therapy and standing cover for her.

“He did a lot of his tasks, [such as] deep pressure, which is laying across me to calm me down,” Jamie Dye said. “He did a cover, which is being a physical barrier between me and a crowd and a lot of people.”

Rhoades said she was frustrated by people who only asked about the service dog instead of Jamie Dye. “I don’t think people realize what an awesome person she is, and that upsets me sometimes,” Rhoades said. “It’s rude to walk up to her and automatically be like, ‘What’s your dog’s name? What’s he doing here?’”

Jones and Rhoades said Gabriel was named an honorary Regina member by the end of club week because he was present through the entire club process.

“We actually called him our honorary beau,” Rhoades said. “When [Jamie Dye] got jerseyed, [Gabriel] got his own bandana that was for Regina. It was really fun.”

Jones said having Gabriel with them during club week was fun, and they did not have to modify any activities for Jamie Dye and Gabriel. story by Sarah Barnard

Freshmen Kinley Cash and Trevor Koonce pose in the rotunda of the McInteer Bible and World Missions Center Nov. 8, 2019. Both students grew up in Africa and attended Harding University in fall . | photo by Stanley Morales

Freshmen Kinley Cash and Trevor Koonce grew up in Africa as children of missionaries.

A

fter living his entire life as part of a missionary family in Africa, freshman biology major Trevor Koonce decided to follow in his family’s footsteps and attend Harding.

Koonce was born in Tobligbo, Togo, and lived there for 11 years before moving to Kigali, Rwanda. In Togo, he said his parents were traditional missionaries, but when they moved, they became more influential parts of the community.

His mother taught art, photography and digital design at Kigali International Community School, and his dad started the Rwanda Taekwondo Federation. Ten years later, Koonce’s parents retired, and the entire Koonce family moved to Memphis, Tennessee.

Koonce’s parents graduated from Harding, and his two older brothers, Tanner and Taylor Koonce, decided to attend Harding as well. Trevor Koonce said he always wanted to go to Harding because it was a larger version of his previous school in Rwanda and because of Harding’s rigorous pre-medicine programs.

With an interest in pediatrics, Trevor Koonce planned to be a medical missionary. Trevor Koonce said growing up in a missionary family influenced his choice to become a doctor, but it was more because of the experiences from living in Togo.

“With all the revolutions and everything that was happening all the time, we had to learn to grow up very fast,” Trevor Koonce said.

176

freshmen

“That’s what we had to [do] just to fit our environment, because the seriousness [of] wanting to become a doctor was because of that.”

Freshman Kinley Cash,Trevor Koonce’s girlfriend, had a similar background and passion for missions. Until her first year of college, Cash lived in Fort Portal, Uganda. Her experiences growing up differed from Trevor Koonce’s. While an average day in Rwanda was similar to that of a small city in the U.S., Cash said there was no such thing as an average day in Uganda because there was no clear schedule.

Everything depended on external circumstances, whether it was a rainstorm, politics or power outage. “[In Uganda], you just deal with what you have, and that’s usually not very much,” Cash said.

Trevor Koonce’s oldest brother, senior Taylor Koonce, said as a missionary kid, he learned to appreciate the effect different kinds of missions had — short term, long term, international or domestic.

“I’ve been blessed to see so many lives transformed by the power of the gospel,” Taylor Koonce said. “I’ve seen joy in unimaginable poverty.

I’ve seen forgiveness after genocide. I have no excuses to be any less of a Christian than my brothers and sisters in Togo and Rwanda.” story by Hannah Read

cathcart conundrum

Freshmen move out of Cathcart Hall at the end of fall 2019 due to renovations.

I

n fall 2019, women’s residence Cathcart Hall was evacuated due to untimely renovations. Students were instructed to move out before the end of the fall semester, though renovations started before Thanksgiving Break.

Heather Davis, Cathcart residence life coordinator (RLC), explained the process of moving students into new dorms on campus and plans for future renovations.

“Cathcart was due for renovation next,” Davis said. “They believed it would begin in the summer 2020, but after they got the quotes from the construction crew, they realized that it was a longer job than just one summer. It’s going to be beautiful. The best option was to empty the dorm for this spring because there are fewer students each spring [semester].”

Students were given the option to move to Stephens, Pattie Cobb or Kendall women’s residence halls. Students also received a $175 credit to their student account for the spring 2020 semester.

Freshman Bonnie Spann, Cathcart resident, explained how she was informed about the renovation issue and the process of moving out.

Spann was out of town the weekend of the dorm closure was announced and received text updates from friends about what to do next.

“When I got back, my suitemate helped me move to my new room in about an hour,” Spann said. “I wanted to move that day because my whole suite was gone, and they had things I needed. The move was definitely inconvenient, but I know that the staff was working extra hard to make it easier for us.”

The deans of student life called a meeting Nov. 13 with Cathcart residents and told them the renovation would carry into the next semester. The deans informed the residents they had until the end of finals week to move out completely.

Freshman Kailey Daniel, Cathcart resident, shared the process of moving out of her room and how she adjusted during the semester.

“It kind of stinks having to move your whole life into a new place and figuring out if you’ll be with the same roommates or not while trying to do school and especially with finals coming,” Daniel said.

“As a freshman, it’s a little harder just because I finally adjusted to the fun and loud Cathcart.”

Many freshmen were excited for the change and saw their new dormitory as an upgrade. Freshman Peyton Sims said the one aspect she missed most about Cathcart was the open, social environment the building brought.

“I feel like a lot of the friends I made there are spread out,” Sims said. “In the end, I think it will be a funny story to tell as a freshman year experience.” story by Will Allen & Katelyn Allen

a

scottish twist on

Graduate student Willis Graves achieved his track and field dream through his unique hobby.

P

hysical therapy graduate student Willis Graves stepped out of his comfort zone to discover a new hobby — the Highland Games. The Highland Games were comprised of athletic events involving throwing and lifting. Originating in Scotland, the most noticeable characteristic of the Highland Games was that every participant wore a kilt during the events.

Graves said he was always interested in throwing events but was afraid he would not be good at them.

“I thought disk and shot put would be cool, but I didn’t want to embarrass myself,” Graves said.

Graves was introduced to the Highland Games in 2017 after one of his friends participated. Graves practiced with his friend and then entered his first event in spring 2018.

After Graves participated in the games, he practiced at Harding’s facilities. A member of the track and field team saw Graves practicing and told Josh Syrotchen, track and field assistant coach, that Graves should be recruited for the team. Syrotchen said he immediately checked to see if Graves was eligible because he was in graduate school.

Graves had one semester of eligibility left, so Syrotchen offered him a scholarship the next day.

“I was blessed to have Willis on our throwing squad,” Syrotchen said. “He made an impact on our team.”

Syrotchen said the discus throw in track and field translated well to the events in the Highland Games. Graves said the principles of throwing — body awareness and staying relaxed during a throw — transferred to most of the throwing events in the Highland Games.

Graves said his favorite part of the games was their communal aspect.

Participants of the games supported one another, and Graves said they were a great way to grow closer to his friends by inviting them to join.

“I love it, and it’s fun to see people giving it a shot, especially when they take a liking to it,” Graves said.

Alumnus Brian Drew said he heard about the games through Graves and was interested in participating. Drew accompanied Graves to one of the games in Denton, Texas, and practiced with Graves several times and hoped to compete with him soon.

“It is a fun day with lots of competitive guys who know how to have a good time,” Drew said. story by Kylie Jones

Year after year, Harding leadership worked alongside the student body. The leadership made an impact — through victories and trials. They created an atmosphere where students could grow in their walk with Christ and expressed what it meant to be a leader of student success and Christian fellowship at Harding. Through stories of teaching, giving back and different talents, the leadership exhibited the best aspects of Harding. The leadership of staff members, administration and board members helped fulfill the University’s mission.

President Bruce McLarty reflected on how presidents echoed throughout Harding.

E

mma Aly, editor-in-chief, and Caleb Manor, assistant editor and head copy editor, sat down on Oct. 23, 2019, with President Bruce McLarty to discuss the 2019-20 yearbook’s theme. McLarty shared the impact that each previous president made on Harding, the presidential echo heard on Harding’s campus.

J. N. Armstrong - 1924-36 Though Harding’s first president, J. N. Armstrong, was before McLarty’s time at Harding, he shared reflections of Armstrong based on the stories told by Harding’s third president, Clifton L. Ganus Jr. Armstrong served as president of Harding College from 1924-36.

McLarty shared that Ganus was fond of Armstrong and said the foundation established by Armstrong carried through to 2019.

“Dr. Ganus loved to tell that Brother Armstrong gave Harding College its soul,” McLarty said.”There was the faithfulness and the simplicity and the love and a lot of the things that people think of as strengths of Harding even to this day, Dr. Ganus saw as coming from J. N. Armstrong.”

McLarty said Armstrong was more of a preacher than a businessman, and he loved the employees of the college. In the summers, Armstrong traveled to California and preached, eventually distributing the money he earned to Harding families.

“He comes back to Arkansas with maybe $50 in his pocket,” McLarty said. “[He] gives five to this family and three to this family and enough that everybody can pay their bills at the grocery store and Harding can survive for another semester another year.”

In 1936, Armstrong stepped down as president, then served as chair of the Bible department, and a new president took over.

George S. Benson - 1936-65 Dr. George S. Benson, one of the first graduates of the College, returned to Harding in 1936 and served as president until 1965.

“Dr. Benson was a product of Brother Armstrong, [and] in some ways, [Benson] was a protege of Brother Armstrong,” McLarty said.

“In some ways he was as different from Brother Armstrong as two people could be.”

McLarty said Benson’s strong business background allowed the College to pay off the debt taken to purchase the Searcy campus by 1939. He described the second president as energetic and powerful but said those who knew Benson said he was perfect for Harding in that time.

“They would always conclude by saying, ‘But God knew exactly what we needed at the time,’” McLarty said. “There’s a sense of he was perfect for his point in history.”

When Benson began as president, all faculty and staff received regular paychecks. Benson’s work during his presidency until his retirement in 1965 placed Harding on a solid financial basis from which to grow all that followed.

president

Clifton L. Ganus Jr. - 1965-87 Harding’s third president was in office when McLarty attended the school. Dr. Clifton L. Ganus Jr. took over for Benson in 1965 and continued in the position until 1987.

McLarty said he felt Ganus was the perfect man for the presidency.

“I thought he was perfectly cut out of the right cloth to be a president,” McLarty said. “He looked like a president. He sounded like a president.

When he was in chapel or on campus, I just always had the sense that it’s under control; it’s going to be okay.”

McLarty said many of the essential aspects of Harding in 2019 began during Ganus’ presidency. He established international programs, the president’s council, Women for Harding and many of the athletic programs. His work with each of these allowed Ganus to take Harding from a college to a university.

As an undergraduate at Harding, Ganus was a Bible and history double major. McLarty said this background explained Ganus’ love for Harding.

“He was a historian by training and had a long history with Harding; [he] loved Harding,” McLarty said. “You never doubted that the man loved Harding.”

David B. Burks - 1987-2013 Dr. David B. Burks served as Harding’s fourth president from 1987 until his retirement in 2013. McLarty said Burks had a background in business. Before his presidency, Burks worked at Exxon Mobil Corp. and then served as dean of the College of Business Administration.

McLarty said when Burks attended Harding as a student, he wanted to be an architect. Burks instead decided to study accounting, but his love of architecture led him to oversee the construction of numerous buildings on Harding’s campus, including the Mabee Business Building, the McInteer Bible and World Missions Center, the Swaid Center for Health Sciences, Legacy Park, and many others. McLarty said many of the buildings people see as iconic Harding landmarks came from Burks’ vision.

“When people come back to campus, they say, ‘This place is beautiful,’ ‘Y’all have done such a great job here,’ and ‘It’s just a great looking campus,’” McLarty said. “I always tell them — Dr. Burks, his fingerprints, his sense of style, his vision is what’s here.”

Burks did more than influence the building of physical structures; he also built programs. Burks expanded international programs created under Ganus. Under Burks’ leadership, the College of Allied Health was created, which included pharmacy, physical therapy and physician’s assistant programs.

Beyond buildings and programs, McLarty said Burks was faithful to the mission of Harding. “‘Faith, learning and living,’” McLarty said. “We heard him say that so many times that he just drilled that into our DNA. It was a crystallization of something that’s been here from the beginning, but it really needed a champion in his generation.”

Burks retired in 2013 to pass the presidency to McLarty.

Bruce D. McLarty - 2013-present Dr. Bruce D. McLarty began the fifth presidency of the school in 2013. Before taking the lead at Harding, McLarty served eight years as University vice president for spiritual life and before that, 14 years as minister at College Church of Christ.

Only in his seventh year of presidency, McLarty was early in his leadership but had a clear vision and set of goals. He wrote his dissertation on faith-based schools losing their faith over time. McLarty wanted to use his knowledge from his studies to maintain the foundation Harding was created on.

“I think I want that to be my legacy — embracing the mission of the historic faith-founded mission of Harding, helping the University embrace that mission moving into the future and not straying from that,” McLarty said.

McLarty said the other echo he hoped to leave at Harding after his retirement was an understanding of the love he felt for his students.

McLarty talked about the many different cultures found at Harding — from the chorus to the ultimate frisbee team to the chemistry lab.

He said he hoped to bring each of these cultures closer together. He used a story told by Dr. J. Warren Casey, professor of music and dean of the College of Arts and Humanities, to illustrate his vision for the University.

“He said, ‘Start them on pitch and take them exactly where they want to go,’” McLarty said. “I’ve adapted that for my answer to the vision question. My vision for Harding is my job is to keep us on pitch. It’s to keep us in tune with each other, to keep us in tune with our mission.” story by Emma Aly

he Harding University Board of Trustees was comprised of men and women who helped maintain Harding’s vision. Tim Bewley, senior vice president of Pinnacle Financial and 2003 Harding alumnus, was one of the newest and youngest members to be named to the Board of Trustees.

Bewley joined the board in May 2017 at 36 years old and attended his first board meeting that same summer. He had a background in finance and served on multiple boards outside of the Board of Trustees at Harding.

During his time on the board, Bewley said there was an abundance of knowledge and experience in the existing members that helped him grow to be the best trustee he could be.

“My background and professional skills revolve around finance, banking, audit, fundraising and operations,” Bewley said. “So, I have focused my time on the board on those topics; however, there is much more that has been amazing to learn more about.”

Bewley said his Harding experience was a story of redemption, grace and reconciliation.

Bewley said many of his friends and his wife, Holly, had strong faith and encouraged him to quit his addictions.

Bewley said Dr. Jim Carr, retired executive vice president of Harding, was one of the most significant influences in his life as Bewley sought to change his habits and direction in life.

“I wasn’t ready to accept their encouragement,” Bewley said. “I will always remember the times they were bold enough to follow the Lord’s will to encourage me to quit.”

Bewley said he viewed Carr as a mentor when he was a college student.

“It’s complimentary that he would call me a mentor,” Carr said. “I just saw it as us being good friends.”

Carr was delighted to learn Bewley was added to the board and believed he was an outstanding addition.

“Mr. Bewley is from a younger generation,” Carr said.

“He is a person who is interested in performance for himself and for whom he works with. He’s a man of high integrity, and when I think of him, that’s what I think of.”

Dr. John Simmons, who joined the board in 1989, knew Bewley before he was added to the board.

“I was the one to actually nominate him to be on the board,” Simmons said. “He is a committed person and has served on and been a leader on every board that’s similar to the Board of Trustees.”

Bewley said he was indebted to Harding for the support he found and tried his best to give back while on the board.

“As a trustee, I would like to serve Harding in an attempt to pay back what was so richly given to me,” Bewley said. story by Bowman Johnson

Legacy Park began as the vision of Chancellor David Burks and led to the building of his own house in the community.

chancellor & president’s cabinet

arding’s vision for a campus neighborhood began in 2009 with student apartments and expanded to houses in 2019. The houses were in close proximity to all campus amenities. That vision evolved into what became known as Legacy Park.

Dr. David Burks, chancellor of the University, worked to transform that vision into a reality. Burks’ ideas were featured in the project, and he also built a home for himself and his family in Legacy Park.

“As we built more and more houses, I got more and more interested in perhaps building one myself,” Burks said. “I’m excited to move back on campus; I lived on campus for 25 years in the president’s home, and so, I’m anxious to get back on campus and back to the vibrancy of college life, which I’ve always enjoyed.”

Dr. David Collins, executive vice president of the University, also built a home in Legacy Park and took part in Burks’ vision.

“Dr. Burks had this vision from the beginning and imagined a community,” Collins said. “A front porch community where people were interacting daily with one another but also on the edge of campus where students would also be a part of it.”

Steve Lake, assistant vice president of advancement, was similarly involved in the development. “[Community] is really Harding’s biggest asset; we’re all a faith-filled community,” Lake said. “It’s a community culture creator, provides some additional housing and obviously it’s a beautification project.”

The residents of Legacy Park also gained access to many of the perks students had. They received an ID card that allowed them to visit the Ganus Activities Complex, watch home sporting events and hold declining balance, among other benefits. Many residents also attended chapel alongside students every morning.

“The concept of Legacy Park is one where the houses are close together,” Burks said. “The idea is to create a close knit community where people talk to one another.” story by Abigail Rezentez & Bowman Johnson

R

anan Hester, assistant dean of students, was passionate about building relationships with those around her, especially the students she worked with at Harding. Hester took her passion a step further and pursued a master’s degree in professional counseling and clinical mental health in 2015 and completed the degree in spring 2019.

“I started to see the need that some of our students come here already receiving clinical mental health help and therapy and things of that sort, and it was a way for me to better understand where they were coming from and the stresses of transitioning into college life,” Hester said.

Her responsibilities required interactions with students and faculty, and her daily tasks ranged from housing and chapel to disciplinary matters. She said she aimed to be available to listen and help students with anything they needed.

“If they need somebody, we want to be available so that they can talk to us.”

“We’re constantly trying to make sure that we’re not in place of the parent, but if they need somebody, we want to be available so that they can talk to us,” Hester said.

Hester said it was not easy to pursue a degree while also serving as dean, but she enjoyed what she was doing, which made it worthwhile.

She said it was challenging at times to balance everything, but if there was ever a student in need of anything, she immediately prioritized the student.

Hester’s professors and advisers attested to her compassion and eagerness to help students.

“She’s an excellent student,” Dr. Marc Fager, director of professional counseling programs, said. “She always came prepared and ready to learn — very eager to improve her ability to communicate and connect with people, and she always wanted and always did keep the students the focal point of her mission of getting the degree.”

Dr. Todd Patten, associate professor of education and chair of mental health and wellness programs, said Hester was driven by her love for people. Patten said Hester brought an abundance of experience and energy to his class and their discussions.

“She really values being in relationship with people, so this license just enhances her ability to focus on that relationship and help meet people’s needs,” Patten said.

Hester said she was pleased with the skills the degree gave her to better help students. Moving forward, she hoped to continue growing in both her profession and her relationships with people and use her education to help her do her job to the best of her ability. story by Madison Scott

HERO Steve Martin, director of technical services, helped produce shows in the George S. Benson Auditorium.

S

teve Martin, director of technical services, worked behind the scenes at Harding for over 30 years. Martin specialized in directing the technical aspects of productions in the George S. Benson Auditorium. Martin committed many hours to chapel and theatrical productions.

During the 2019 Homecoming musical, “Matilda,” Martin directed the technical effects backstage and spent the night hours working to prepare the projector for the musical.

“I had to figure out how to change it and spent all night changing it because it was show week, and I had to make sure all the video and screens worked for them to rehearse with it,” Martin said.

Working overnight hours was common for Martin in his first years of preparation for daily chapel.

“When I first started, I used to come in after rehearsals to get dark hours, and so what I would do was nap until rehearsals were over with, come in, go home, nap again, then get back up and come in to work,” Martin said. “What I finally figured out was, that was separated sleep, so it wasn’t as valuable. I started just coming into work stupid early.”

Martin and student workers were in charge of ensuring programs ran smoothly and prepared for events such as theatrical productions, Spring Sing and chapel. Sophomore theatre major Allison Janelle Witherow-Pruitt, a student worker for Harding theatrical productions, said anything that happened on the Benson stage was something they worked on.

“I don’t think people know who the person is behind it and how much work they do,” Witherow-Pruitt said. “It’s a lot; [students] don’t realize how much goes into getting a plot, making a plot for a show or even just chapel.”

For shows like “Matilda,” lighting placement, projectors and electrical work were aspects Martin and the student workers dealt with. Senior theatre design and production major Abby Austin, a student worker for Harding theatrical productions, said there were multiple parts of a show that needed to come together for each to work cohesively.

“It’s like a spider web,” Austin said. “There are a bunch of different points, and pulling the show together is just yanking the string so it all comes together.” story by Grace Baker

Local churches hosted a progressive dinner for freshmen and transfer students.

T

“Eat and Greet” progressive dinner for freshmen and transfer students took place Sunday, Aug. 25, 2019.

Five local churches were involved: College Church of Christ, Cloverdale Church of Christ, Downtown Church of Christ, Highway Church of Christ and West Side Church of Christ. Each church hosted a phase of the dinner and opened their doors to hundreds of new students.

An estimated 340 students signed up, but around 400 students arrived hungry and ready to participate.

Harding had a history of outreach programs for new students, but this was the first year for an event resembling a progressive dinner. When asked how this event differed from those of the past, master of divinity graduate student Philip Baird and part-time campus ministry intern at Cloverdale Church of Christ, explained it was a much more intimate setting than previous events. With the students physically visiting the church, not only were they meeting others who were new to Harding, but they were able to connect with different churches and see what each had to offer.

“I was able to spend some time to discuss Cloverdale and what we do, our outreach programs, ministries and things like that,” Baird said. “Also, considering everyone was in the same boat, people were much more willing to listen and get to know each other. They were pretty open.”

He said while it may have been crowded in some of the smaller churches, he was pleased with the number of students who participated.

“Considering it was raining too, I think it was a great turn out,” Baird said.

Heather Kemper, event and project director for alumni and parent relations, was a leader of the event and said she was inspired by a similar event at another school and believed it would be a great opportunity to find community and build relationships.

“We just wanted them to know that there are so many people in Searcy that want to get to know you and who love you already,” Kemper said. “That you are welcome at any of these places. That really was the goal.”

Kemper confirmed plans to make it an annual event.

“Definitely,” Kemper said. “We’re already talking about what we can do to make it better next year.”

Freshman Paul Stone was one of the students who attended the event.

“I loved how open and inviting all the churches were,” Stone said. “My favorite part was everyone wanted to get to know you and your friends.” story by Abigail Rezentez

S

haron Williams, administrative assistant to the president, walked in the Susan G. Komen Runway for the Cure in Little Rock, Arkansas, for her third time in 2019 as a two-time breast cancer survivor.

Williams said she was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013 and first heard about Runway for the Cure at a doctor’s appointment in 2014. She was encouraged to apply to model by a receptionist at her appointment because all the models were survivors. Williams said the show was “fun, yet emotional.”

“The fun thing is getting out there in these boutiques’ clothes and modeling and just having fun and reuniting with survivors that you’ve met and meeting new ones, but the end is always the emotional part,” Williams said. “We always do a lap, and everybody has a sign ... and it has your years on it, and we all walk out with that. And it’s emotional to see ... people from anywhere that are in the journey now and people that have been out for like 35 years.”

She said she participated as a model in 2014, 2015 and 2019 and was also involved with the event in 2016 and 2018.

Rebecca Boaz, assistant professor of family and consumer sciences and fellow breast cancer survivor, said Williams first introduced her to the show in 2015, where the two walked alongside each other. Boaz said she took some of her students from the apparel merchandising

department each year to volunteer for the show. Boaz was the dresser for Williams’ modeling group in 2019 and said she was grateful to be with her friend, adding that seeing Williams walk was emotional.

“We’ve come a long way,” Boaz said. “She was standing next to me the day that the doctor called and told me that [I had] cancer. I just get emotional about it with her, especially because we have so much history. I loved seeing her walk out there this year, and I am truly glad that she’s alive.”

Cindy Hunter, executive assistant to the president, said she knew Williams for around 15 years. She said she organized a group of Williams’ friends and co-workers to watch Williams walk in the show in 2019 when they discovered she was chosen to model again. Hunter said Williams’ positivity in life and strength in adversity inspired her, and showing up to support her was a priority for her.

“She knows I care, but I think it’s different being there physically for somebody,” Hunter said. “So, I just think that it meant a lot to her that her closest friends were there at the event.”

Williams echoed this sentiment and said her favorite part of walking in the show was hearing the crowd cheer for the models.

“Just walking out there and see people clapping and saying, ‘You got this!’ and ‘Good job!,’” Williams said. “Their affirmation, it’s kind of like: ‘OK, keep going, keep going.’” story by Sarah Barnard

he Harding University in Florence (HUF) program began hosting students in the 1980s. Many called the 16th century villa home, but few did so as both a student and professor.

Dr. Heath Carpenter, assistant professor of English, attended HUF as a student in summer 2000 and returned as the spring 2019 faculty member. Carpenter brought his family of six with him.

“I wouldn’t say one experience trumps the other; I would just say they were different experiences — equally good,” Carpenter said.

Carpenter said his first time attending HUF in 2000 expanded his awareness of the world. This awareness gave him the insight to know what to expect when he returned as a professor.

Carpenter said the most rewarding aspect of going back with his family was seeing his children’s minds grow from the HUF program.

“You get really close with your HUF group because you all live together,” Carpenter said. “I wanted my kids to be able to mix it up with the students. I wanted them to have space to roam around the villa grounds.”

Junior Brooklyn Kelly attended HUF in spring 2019.

“When you’re there, you feel like the only person who has lived there, but so many other people have lived in the villa and consider it home,” Kelly said.

Kelly said the Carpenters felt like her family away from home. Kelly, who also came from a family of six, said seeing that similarity while being in a foreign place made her gravitate toward the Carpenters.

Senior Sarah Pearce, who attended HUF in spring 2019, said the Carpenter family did a good job of building friendships with the students on the trip.

“I think that our group was lucky in a sense,” Pearce said. “We built good relationships as a whole, and the Carpenters had a big role in that. Since they had a lot of kids and were a family, it made the whole group feel like a family.”

Carpenter said the trip changed his family dynamic in immeasurable ways. He said he tried to encourage the intangible growth by directing conversations toward a cultural and analytical approach.

Pearce said Carpenter’s tendency to dig into the details and the cultures and connect everything — something he called “digging into the weeds” — stuck with her the most.

“He didn’t back off from deeper questions, and I appreciated that,” Pearce said.

Carpenter spoke highly of Harding’s international programs and said he was thankful for the unique experience they offered.

“It is the crown jewel to what we offer here,” Carpenter said. “I just wish we were in a position where every single student could have a foreign learning experience before he or she leaves Harding because it is so transformative.” story by Kylie Jones

r. Allen Henderson, assistant professor of education, adopted a stray kitten in fall 2019 after Kari Aziamov, administrative assistant to the dean of education, found him in the Thornton Education Center parking lot. Aziamov gave the animal to Henderson because his family had previous experience raising kittens. The kitten, named Charles, attended many of Henderson’s classes for five weeks because he required hourly care.

“I walked into a faculty meeting, and they kind of gave Charles to me,” Henderson said. “I have a daughter that has a cat that had kittens, and they thought her cat would take care of Charles, but that didn’t work out, so he’s at our house.”

Henderson took Charles to his morning classes, unable to leave him home alone at such a young age. Henderson’s daughter, junior Asher Henderson, and her roommate, junior Anna Little, took care of the kitten in the evenings. Charles’ eyes and ears were closed when he was found, and he needed to be bottle-fed every two hours.

“The first thing I thought was, ‘Is it a cat?’’’ Asher Henderson said. “If you had told me it was an opossum, I would’ve believed that.”

Allen Henderson said when he had students with allergy concerns, he left Charles in his office.

Senior Meliny Pond said Charles was not really a distraction in class because Allen Henderson only showed him to students before and after his lectures.

Little helped care for Charles after her roommate introduced them. Little said she took Charles to several of her classes, Starbucks, tailgates and Relay for Life while looking after him. Little said students recognized Charles on the Harding campus and approached her to say hello to him.

“Students [and] kids react with sheer joy,” Little said. “Some of them shed a few tears whenever they see him, and they asked to hold him. And professors usually are a little more muted, but they also

love cats, and they’re like, ‘Gosh, can I hold him?’ I was just talking to Dr. Gutierrez, and he played in her office for a long time, and she got out toys for him.”

Little said she would love to see Harding offer assistance to stray animals. Little and Asher Henderson started an Instagram account for Charles to keep students updated on his life. Pond said she thought faculty adopting stray animals was great.

New Bible professor incorporated his passion for rap music in the classroom.

J

ason “Teech” Darden joined the College of Bible and Ministry as an instructor for the 2019-20 school year. Students showed an interest in his rapping career after he performed at Uplift during summer 2019.

Darden said it was important to bridge the gap between religious and secular focuses. His music presented his everyday struggles from a Christian perspective.

He decided on the rapper name “Teech,” based on Matthew 28:19, which read, “Go forth and teach all nations.”

“I was like, ‘Oh, teach all nations. That’s what I want to do with my music,’” Darden Darden held “bar exams” every other Friday in his class in which students had the opportunity to present poems, songs, raps and art for extra credit. Darden said student of Darden’s, said she was originally unsure about a professor incorporating rapping into his courses but has since changed her mind.

“I didn’t like it, and I didn’t want to do it,” Moore said. “But the more people [do] it, the more I learn from my peers, and the more I know about them. It’s really enlightening and humbling to know that people are going through things I’m going through, and that they can express it, and they’re so brave. It’s really a good thing.”

Darden said he faced adversity from within the churches of Christ after a Christian publication published an article about his career, but he believed music came from God and people in the Bible used it as a form of praise. As a former preacher, Darden said it hurt to face the criticism of church members. “‘That’s devil music,’” Darden said. “‘How can you be a preacher, a Christian and listen to that music, much less create the music,’ right? And this is coming from devout church people who really believe that rap music is from the devil.”

Senior Bible and ministry major Kennedy Barden, one of Darden’s peer guides, said the medium Darden used to communicate ideas to his students was unique.

“I would say that there’s something special about when he raps,” Barden said. “He is able to communicate deep spiritual things using simple thoughts and ideas that string together to create this beautiful intricate overlay about God and the way he works.”

After Darden graduated from Harding in 2005, he was encouraged to pursue rapping as a hobby. A former preacher, current chaplain in the Army Reserve and rapper, Darden was a distinctive addition to the Harding faculty. story by Audrey Jackson

Seniors Rylie Evans and Arisa Takanashi, All-American players, took eighth place in the nation.

T

he Harding women’s tennis team had a successful season in spring 2019. Seniors Rylie Evans and Arisa Takanashi placed 8th in the nation and were the first female Harding tennis players to achieve an All-American title.

Evans transferred from Coastal Carolina University, a Division I school, in 2019 and was a top player on the tennis team. Takanashi was the No. 1 player on the team before Evans transferred. Head Tennis Coach David Redding said he chose to put them together in doubles because they were the two best singles players.

“They complemented each other very well,” Redding said. “Arisa is quiet and steady, and Rylie is a little more aggressive and fiery on the court.”

Evans said her relationship with Takanashi helped their cooperation.

Because they were both upperclassmen, Evans said she felt a lot of pressure to win. Takanashi said playing doubles added more pressure because doubles players had to learn to work with a teammate on the court. Evans said they combatted the pressure by encouraging each other during games and practices.

“We made sure we played the same in practice as we wanted to in matches,” Evans said.

Redding said the key to having a successful team was having good players. Not only were Evans and Takanashi good players, but they had teammates who challenged them in practice to help them grow as players.

“I recognized that they had potential and tried to put pressure on them and bring out the best in them,” Redding said.

Takanashi said her final season would not have been as successful without Redding and her teammates. Takanashi said Redding told her and Evans they had the talent and potential to win games and conferences, which motivated her to put her best effort into every match.

“It motivated me to be a better player and inspired everyone on the team,” Takanashi said.

Redding said he was most proud of the overall character of the tennis team. They had the highest grade point average of any athletic team on campus. Redding said he hoped to continue recruiting well-rounded women like those on the tennis team during the 2019-20 season. story by Kylie Jones

H

ead Baseball Coach Dr. Patrick McGaha earned his 500th collegiate career victory March 20, 2019. It was a close game, ending after 12 innings and 3 1/2 hours.

Despite achieving this milestone, McGaha said it felt like any other game.

“That game was so close and everything, I just, I really kind of forgot about it,” McGaha said. “It’s nice, obviously, to reach those milestones, but that’s not really why you do it as a coach. It’s about the relationships.”

Assistant Head Baseball Coach Andy Schatzley explained that the rest of the team did not realize the victory was McGaha’s 500th until after the game.

“It’s just kind of a testament to Coach McGaha and the nature of his leadership and the humility behind his leadership,” Schatzley said. “We didn’t even 100% realize it had happened until we got back, and once we got back, it kind of hit everybody. He hadn’t said a word about it. …

That’s just kind of the way he is and the kind of leader he is.”

While winning was a big part of the game, McGaha said it was not the reason he coached. He said he loved watching his players enjoy a hardearned victory and reap the reward for their hard work and devotion to the game. Above all, he cared about watching them grow in character and as men of God. “If they leave here having just gotten better at baseball, then we’ve

respectable culture.

“We won a lot of games because of our culture, and McGaha does a theme each day of pushing ourselves beyond what we think we can do, so that’s something I can take with me throughout the rest of my life.”

During the baseball team’s 2019 season, its members served as sources of support and encouragement in many capacities.

“It’s a really special place to work, but it’s special because of the people, and [McGaha] really makes it a special place,” Schatzley said, when further describing the impactful manner of McGaha’s coaching and leadership.

Schatzley explained that the combination of desperately needing a win, the closeness of the game, and it being such a milestone for McGaha all tied together to make this particular victory extremely special.

The softball field got a makeover with the addition of lights.

I

n fall 2019, the softball program installed stadium lights in their complex. Senior catcher and infielder Briley Feringa said this was something the team tried to accomplish for years, and in 2019, the opportunity presented itself with a generous donation.

“Last year, Coach sent out a letter to the parents trying to ask for money,” Feringa said. “And then just this past season, we finally got that last push we needed to make it happen.”

The lights installed offered benefits for the program — both athletically and academically. Senior outfielder Mary Mills Lochala said before the lights were installed, players missed a majority of their afternoon classes in spring semesters because they could not practice after dark.

“Playing at night for home series allows us to be able to go to class more frequently,” Lochala said. “We also will not have to worry about ‘beating the sun’ to squeeze in games.”

Lochala said the field also benefited the team in the fall preseason, because they could avoid practicing in the heat for extended amounts of time.

Head Softball Coach Phil Berry said the lights had a huge impact on the program, most notably by adding nighttime games to the schedule.

“We get to play our Friday games under the lights,” Berry said. “We think more students will come, and we will have bigger crowds, and that is always good for us when we have bigger crowds for the games.”

Berry said the lights were also an advantageous addition to the

team’s recruiting tools.

“I think any time you add something to your facility or your program, it has impact on recruiting,” Berry said. “And so it has been nice to publicize that they’re here and put pictures out on social media of us practicing under the lights and talk about having night games.”

Feringa said the lights were something a lot of prospective players looked for when they sought schools to attend and affected their decision to accept offers from Harding.

“Our field is so beautiful, but having lights takes it to that next level so we can compete with Division I schools,” Feringa said. story by Emma Vaughn

or the second time in Harding history, a Bison won the Great American Conference Cross-Country Championship. Sophomore Dylan Douglas won the 8K race Oct. 26, 2019, with a time of 25 minutes, 16.7 seconds.

The first Harding win came six years earlier in 2013 by alumnus Andrew Evans.

Douglas said he was not stressed about the race and saw it like any other race. He said his calm and driven mindset led him to the victory.

“Having friends and a good coach is nice, but they don’t decide whether you win or not,” Douglas said. “So, it’s pretty much up to the individual. I would say yes, they push me, but the decision to win is made by the individual and not by anyone else.”

Don Hood, head cross-country and track coach, said Douglas had a good fall semester in his first year but struggled with an injury in the spring of his freshman year. Hood said he was impressed with how Douglas overcame the setback. “[He] was injured during the springtime and really struggled and wasn’t able to compete much and do anything at all,” Hood said. “To go from that and then six months later he’s conference champion in cross-country just says a lot about his talent and his work ethic and his competitiveness.”

Hood said Douglas’ success was the product of his unique work ethic.

“It’s really neat to see how he surprises people,” Hood said. “Once you get to know him, you realize that’s who he is — that he’s really determined and talented and tough. It’s just a real good combination.”

Hood said when a large group of freshmen joined the team at the beginning of the 2019-20 school year, Douglas proved he was more than a good athlete; he was a team player.

“Dylan did a great job of accepting the newcomers and not being challenged by them and pushing them away but really drawing them up and trying to get them to his level,” Hood said.

Camden Barrett, men’s cross-country graduate assistant, said because Douglas’ win came so early in his collegiate athletic career, Douglas had the chance to continue to grow as a runner and encourage those around him.

“Due to Dylan winning conference so early on within his collegiate career, this has allowed him to build more confidence as a runner,” Barrett said. “Not that he didn’t have any before, he is just now able to run more confidently, which in turn, allows for the team to also run with confidence knowing that they are running with the best runner in our conference.”

Douglas said he was happy with the conference victory and looked forward to future successes.

“I still have long-term goals in mind: time goals and placement goals,” Douglas said. “Conference is nice, but there’s obviously much more to it than that.” story by Emma Aly

n the fall 2019 semester, the Harding Bisons football program opened the Huckeba Field House. The $5.2 million facility was built through donations from alumni who were actively involved or invested in the football program.

The facility was named after Ronnie Huckeba, or “Coach Huck,” as he as head football coach at Harding for 10 years and as an instructor for 31 years. more than a place of practice for the team, but an example of how the program touched many lives.

“The most awesome part of that facility is that it really was built by the brotherhood,” Simmons said. “That building really is a legacy of love just as we honor Coach Huck and the way he did things for this program to help really build this culture of honoring God.” the help of over 260 former players and families who wanted to give back to the program.

“Sometimes you have a donor come forward and say, ‘Hey, we’d really like to be involved with this,’ and we say, ‘OK, let’s daydream That daydream was realized for many former and current Bisons.

“To see those guys who went through those [tough] times, and to see them walk in and see the pride of their faces has been [very] rewarding,” Simmons said.

Junior defensive back Jacory Nichols said the current team was blown away by the facility.

“I was really shocked,” Nichols said. “I honestly didn’t think it was going to happen. It was better and bigger than I thought.”

The facility was primarily used to avoid canceling practices due to weather conditions. Both Nichols and Simmons said this feature helped the team get more quality work done heading into the season by avoiding the heat of the turf and inclement weather in the summer and fall months. than a place to practice. Jana Rucker, vice president of university communication and enrollment, said the facility would also help in the recruitment of new players.

The cheerleading squad trained without an official coach during fall 2019.

T

he Harding cheerleading squad played a vital role in Harding athletics. They were a cornerstone for sporting events, providing backup and school spirit. For over two semesters, however, the cheerleading squad was without an official coach and only had Kellee Blickenstaff as a sponsor.

Senior Anna-Grace Shields, a co-captain for the cheerleading squad, said certain circumstances and budget issues left the squad without a coach beginning in spring 2019. Blickenstaff acted as the squad’s coach while they searched for a full-time candidate.

Shields said having a coach would have been beneficial, but Blickenstaff took care of the squad’s needs.

“Mrs. Kellee does anything and everything that we need,” Shields said. “The purpose of a coach is to make sure you do things safely and correctly, … and Mrs. Kellee fills that role completely for us.”

Shields said Blickenstaff was very involved with the squad to ensure all routines were ready for performance.

“She’s very hands on,” Shields said. “She’s very present, and she spends a lot of time and a lot of effort making sure we look [how] we need to look. Everything that we do has her hand on it; it just might not be apparent to people who aren’t really paying attention.”

Freshman Riley Shepard, a member of the cheerleading squad, said she enjoyed her time on the squad. She appreciated the composition of the squad during the 2019-20 season and expressed her appreciation for Blickenstaff.

“She is the campus connection,” Shepard said. “And it’s easy for people to overlook.”

While Blickenstaff sponsored the squad, the three co-captains — junior Jasie Mason, junior Rachel Frost and Shields — also had hands in making the team the best it could be.

“I also think there’s kind of a benefit to us being more athlete-led as far as the stunts go because when we see it and like it, we try it,” Shields said. “So, it’s things that we’re excited about that we actually want to perform and we want to do.”

Sophomore Hadley McDaniel, a member of the cheerleading squad, voiced similar opinions. She said it was better to focus on what they had and to appreciate their teamwork.

“It’s been a good experience; it’s not negative or anything,” McDaniel said. “We just roll with what we have.” story by Abigail Rezentes

T

he 2019 Harding women’s volleyball team welcomed eight freshmen to their team. With these additions and no seniors, the team composition looked different than in previous seasons. Head Volleyball Coach Meredith Fear said at the beginning of the season she thought they would never introduce as so many new players again, but in retrospect, she said she thought she might.

“At the beginning of the season, that was just a feeling that was really heavy and overwhelming, but then as the season went on, and we hit our stride, I think we would do it again,” Fear said. “The growth I’ve seen in them and the experience, they are getting to carry that on for three or four more years, so it is really exciting.”

Fear said the team was fun because of the women’s work ethic on and off the court. Freshman middle blocker Libby Hinton said the team made an effort to avoid isolating themselves into two separate teams of freshmen versus everyone else but instead bonded together.

“We’ve done a really good job of just making sure the freshmen and everyone else will always do stuff together on and off the court,” Hinton said. “Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like we are all freshmen because they have made us feel so welcome.”

“We always try to lead by example on and off the court,” Cowart said. “The transition from high school to college can sometimes be pretty rough, so we have done our best to be available to the younger girls whenever they need us.”

Because there were no seniors on the team, all of the members were expected to return for the 2020 season.

After a successful season, Fear said the players’ return was something she and the assistant coaches looked forward to.

“They have to go through experiences to be able to use them later,” Fear said. “Something we are all excited about for the future and next year is that we had a great record overall. The fact that we went through different experiences with lots of freshmen and this level of newness, yet still have had that much success, is a win in its own.” story by Emma Vaughn

espite coming from different backgrounds in their sport, freshmen Juli Fierro and Kodie Winnings led the women’s golf team through the fall 2019 season as a dynamic duo.

Winnings said her relationship with Fierro as a teammate and roommate gave their golf game a competitive edge and painted them as a double threat.

“We were around each other so much that we quickly learned each other’s personalities and style of playing early on,” Winnings said. “It helped to know how the other person thought, so we could give each other the exact feedback we needed to improve.”

Post baccalaureate student Lauryn Davidson, women’s golf graduate assistant, said it was rare for two freshmen roommates on the same sports team to bond as cohesively as Fierro and Winnings did.

“In past experiences, I have witnessed teammates in their situation get tired of each other, and it caused rough feelings during the season,” Davidson said. “Juli and Kodie just looked like best friends wherever they went, and it has been really great for the team as a whole.”

The pair ended their first collegiate season with several strong finishes. Winnings, who broke school records at the first tournament, said she was unaccustomed to playing on a team with

“I was the only girl playing back at home, so college ha been a game changer for me because I finally felt like I have a personal support system to keep me going, especially with Juli,” Winnings said.

Early in the 2019 season, Fierro placed third in the team’s second tournament and was later named a Great American Conference co-women’s golfer of the week. Fierro, originally from Plottier, Argentina, said she had to acclimate herself to a team dynamic and the American lifestyle simultaneously, but Winnings was by her side through it all.

success Seven women’s soccer players were recognized in the conference.

H

arding University’s women’s soccer team had a record of 9-10 in the Great American Conference (GAC) in fall 2019. Seven teammates were recognized by coaches at the conference in the categories of honorable mention, second team and first team.

Honorable mention was for teammates who executed assists and goals during the game and was awarded to junior Jessica Woessner, sophomore Parker Smitherman and senior Nicole Morgan. The next tier was second team, which was awarded to players who had more time on the field than those who received honorable mention. Second team was awarded to sophomore Samantha Rupe and seniors Michelle Morgan and Melanie Spurgeon. The last tier — first team — was given to players who excelled in their performance on the field. First team was awarded to junior Emma Welch, who displayed great sportsmanship and effort in conference games.

Although several Harding women were rewarded for their sportsmanship on the field, many players did not receive the same recognition, such as sophomore Grace Ann Green. As midfielder, Green facilitated the transition between plays for the defensive line and provided time for her teammates to decide their next moves.

“I love the position that I play because it’s very simple, and you get to just stay in the back a little more,” Green said. “I prefer defense to offense so I can stay in the back and distribute the ball forward.”

Green was one of many players who worked hard, but because her position did not hold statistics, her recognition was often overlooked.

“Grace Ann dictates how we move forward; she connects the dots between our offense and defense,” Nicole Morgan said. “She does a great job of playing quickly and distributing the ball throughout the entire field, which makes it very easy to transition for us. She’s very good at it, and she does it well.”

While Green’s position on the field did not receive recognition from competing coaches at the GAC, she was recognized as an essential part of the team by her coach and teammates. Welch said Green worked hard during every practice and encouraged her teammates when they felt discouraged.

“A lot of the girls on the team look up to her because of how hard she works,” Welch said.

Nicole Morgan, Green and Welch said the women’s soccer team was a closeknit family that encouraged one another to push each of their limits spiritually, academically and physically. They said the women showed the love of Christ to one another and to others, on and off the field, and the senior team captains encouraged the team to be a family and trust one another. Nicole Morgan said although the team worked to succeed on the field, their unanimous goal was to succeed off the field academically and spiritually.

“The result didn’t matter,” Nicole Morgan said. “At the end of the day, we were athletes. We wanted to compete, but that was our main goal this season. To be a family no matter the results, and I just think that fact is really important for Harding soccer. That’s a big deal to us.” story by Katelyn Allen

making goals, breaking

RECORDS Junior defender Christian Ramos broke the individual soccer player goal record for Harding.

J

unior defender Christian Ramos, a member of the men’s soccer team, broke Harding’s individual soccer player record for the most goals in a single season. Ramos surpassed the previous record of 16 goals, scoring a total of 17 goals during the 2019 men’s soccer season. He broke the record at the Great American Conference during a game against Northeastern State University.

Ramos said he did not anticipate breaking the record but was more focused on the team’s effort.

“It was just kind of unexpected; it really didn’t hit me until after the game,” Ramos said. “I really never paid attention to it.

We always worry about the team first.”

Head Men’s Soccer Coach Jonathan Ireland said Ramos was the first player he recruited at Harding. Ireland coached for Harding beginning in 2016 and said Ramos was a large part of the soccer team’s success during his time at Harding. Ireland said Ramos would leave a hole in the team when he graduated.

“Here we are four years later, and he’s done,” Ireland said.

“And we’ve had the most successful four-year run in the program’s history: winning three conference championships, breaking all of our school records, and the most wins in a season, and he’s been a big part of that.”

Alumnus Ben Farris previously set the record for most goals in a season in 2003. Sixteen years later, Ramos broke that record and ranked third among goal scorers in the nation with his score of 17 goals.

While Ramos usually played as a defender, he also filled the position of midfielder during the 2019 season, giving him the opportunity to score goals more often. While Ramos did not score a goal in every game of the 2019 season, he finished the season having scored 17 goals in a season of 17 games.

Sophomore midfielder Brandon Patterson said he saw Ramos as a leader on the team because of Ramos’ skill and personality.

Patterson said Ramos was willing to stay late and help other players practice if needed. Though Ramos broke the record, Patterson said Ramos did not focus on his individual achievements.

“He’s definitely not a ball hog,” Patterson said. “A lot of his goals were actually where he would just find a little bit of an open space. We’d pass it to him, and all he would do is maybe take a touch and then shoot.”

Ireland said he thought in the future Ramos would look back on his accomplishments as a student athlete and relish his success.

“The best way to describe him is he’s just a winner,” Ireland said. “He’s not afraid of anyone or any team. The bigger the game, the bigger he’s going to play.” story by Audrey Jackson

playing with Sophomore Romen Martin and junior Tyler Roth started a blog about their faith and playing basketball.

S

ophomore Romen Martin and junior Tyler Roth were members of the 2019-20 Harding men’s basketball team. During summer 2019, they started a blog called “Playing with Purpose.” Martin said the idea came from a book the two read together.

“We were reading through a book called “Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren and started to realize how big the platform that God has given us was,” Martin said. “I really admire [Roth’s] intentionality because it went from us realizing this to him asking questions and seeking ways to actively use it.”

Roth said they decided social media was the best platform to share their thoughts.

“We basically sat down [and] said, ‘Life is short, so let’s try it out,’ and the first couple posts, it just sort of blew up, and the rest is history,” Roth said.

Roth said the blog was created with the intention of creating a place where current and past members of the men’s basketball team shared their stories and experiences with the people around them. By fall 2019, Roth said the blog had approximately 2,00 visitors.

Head Men’s Basketball Coach Jeff Morgan said the blog benefited the team and explained much of what they tried to accomplish every year.

“We hope the whole overarching deal is that we know that God has gifted everybody differently, and he has gifted us with this game of basketball,” Morgan said. “We need to do it in such a way it glorifies him or draws people to him, and we truly are playing with purpose.”

Morgan said the blog was a great reminder of who they were and that their identity was found in being children of God.

“It is more to shed light onto the

platform that God has blessed us with.”

Roth said he wanted the blog to demonstrate that sports were not centered around the player but about the message the players tried to convey.

“We did not do this to shed light on ourselves,” Roth said. “It is more to shed light onto the platform that God has blessed us with.”

Both Martin and Roth said they planned to pass the blog down after they graduated to benefit future generations of players and fans. story by Emma Vaughn

EMPOWERMENT A self-care club for women found a place on Harding’s campus.

N

urture Thyself was created to promote self-care for young women at Harding. Alumna Ashley Hudson introduced the group in 2018 under the name Shine Brightly. Shortly after, Hudson passed the group to junior Nautica Ivy, who renamed it Nurture Thyself.

Ivy said both she and Hudson had a vision of creating a safe place on campus for women to learn about self-care.

“We just wanted this to be a place where we can learn about self-care, learning how to love yourself [and] finding [out] about toxic relationships — not just with guys, but with friends and family as well,” Ivy said.

Freshman Melanie Garcia said the group benefited her during her first semester at Harding in fall 2019.

“As women, I know we tend to get caught up in the things we assume in our heads,” Garcia said. “This group is amazing, because [Nautica] has taken her time to build a safe environment for girls to come together and express themselves knowing they won’t be judged.”

Shanna Jones, instructor of family and consumer sciences, said the concept of self-care was overlooked for a long time but was still important to one’s overall health.

“I do not think that we were taught to take care of ourselves; that was seen as being selfish and wrong,” Jones said. “But what I have realized through the years is that we have to take care of ourselves in order to give our best to everyone else.”

Jones said self-care included healthy daily, weekly and monthly habits.

She said with the busyness of modern society, it was difficult to implement those habits into her schedule. Jones said this club would be a great addition to campus because it encouraged making the time to practice self-care habits regularly.

The group’s main focus was to foster a comforting atmosphere. Ivy said she wanted the group to be like any other club on campus.

“This is a place they can come to where they can talk to people who are different from their backgrounds and get to know different people,” Ivy said. “Being united in sisterhood and not just saying we are sisters but actually feeling the bond.”

Ivy said the group planned to hold workshops and discussion panels in future meetings. story by Emma Vaughn

American Institute of Graphic Arts took a trip to Northwest Arkansas for symposium credits.

T

he American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) student group organized a trip to Northwest Arkansas, for the fall 2019 semester. On Nov. 1, 2019, a group of 16 went to the DaySpring Cards outlet store in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, for a tour and then visited Crystal Bridges Museum of Art. The trip was an opportunity for art majors to earn symposium credits required by the department and to experience art in the real world.

Senior graphic design major Nicole Paiz Garcia said the trip was a great opportunity to learn.

“I think a major takeaway from the trip might have been the fact that we got to get really awesome and complete insight from a real company,” Paiz Garcia said. “Whenever we went to DaySpring, they had an entire presentation prepared for us. They took us through all of the departments and pretty much showed us how they ran their business.”

As the group toured both DaySpring and Crystal Bridges, they gained new perspectives on art and how it was used by professionals in post-graduate life. The group visited with the DaySpring design

team and looked at their products in all the design stages from planning and sketches to prototyping and development.

Senior visual art studio major Janey Lewis said the trip inspired the group to use their talents for God. “I am not a member of AIGA, but I was able to go because of my Illustration 1 class,” Lewis said. “I believe we left inspired to find ways to serve God and others through design or illustration.”

Stacy Gibson, associate professor of art and design, said she thought the trip gave the students good insight into the professional world of design.

“We had a wonderful tour of DaySpring,” Gibson said. “We were able to hear from different departments such as consumer research, product development and even from the president.”

Gibson said the art and design department at Harding gave students opportunities to experience art in the real world.

“The art and design department encourages students to seek out experiences in our field,” Gibson said. “This trip was focused on learning more about DaySpring, who has reached out to Harding in the past with internship opportunities and with positions in areas such as web, digital, graphic design and illustration.” story by Will Allen

HOMELESS 262

Acclaimed motivational speaker Liz Murray spoke at ASI’s third annual Educator Appreciation Night about overcoming homelessness.

I

n fall 2019, Liz Murray visited Harding as part of the American Studies Institute (ASI) Distinguished Lecture Series. Murray shared her story in a lecture titled “Homeless to Harvard.”

Born to drug-addicted parents in the Bronx borough of New York City, Murray had few positive influences as a child. She became homeless when she was 15 years old after her mother died and her father moved to a homeless shelter, leaving Murray to sleep in subway stations. She graduated high school in two years before attending Harvard University, a journey she credited to education and important mentors during her youth.

Murray graduated from Harvard in 2009 and earned a master’s degree in psychology from Columbia University.

She was co-founder and executive director of The Arthur Project, a mentorship program for at-risk youth named after her childhood neighbor who encouraged her to return to school and helped her to see the world beyond their neighborhood.

Murray attributed this relationship as a starting point to her success and believed relationships were important to personal success.

“Ultimately, no one can do for you what you need to do for yourself.”

to

“Ultimately, no one can do for you what you need to do for yourself,” Murray said. “Personal responsibility is the first step; it’s necessary, and yet, not sufficient in many ways. We can get a lot of places with just the sense of ‘I can do it’ and whiteknuckling, but we can never really get as far as we possibly could without others.”

Murray spoke for Harding’s third annual Educator Appreciation Night hosted by ASI. Kim Kirkman, executive director of ASI, read Murray’s book “Breaking Night: A Memoir of Forgiveness, Survival and My Journey from Homeless to Harvard” and watched the 2003 Lifetime Television film adaptation. She was inspired by Murray’s story and the obstacles she overcame.

“I feel like parents help their children along the road to success,” Kirkman said. “She did not have that, but she is a success, and she is, in turn, helping people that are falling through the cracks of the system or their poverty cycle. I would say that her story is very inspirational.”

Senior Olivia Womack, president of ASI, said Murray’s message of how education transformed her life was inspirational.

“Her message was really powerful and really inspiring, even if we maybe can’t relate to homelessness,” Womack said. “The hard work and dedication she put into her education was very inspiring.”

Murray said her success would not have been possible without mentors who encouraged her to succeed. She said if she told her younger self one thing, it would be a simple message that spoke volumes.

“You are enough,” Murray said. “It’s a lesson that I relearn in my life.” story by Emily Sundermeier

A student-led swim team resurfaced after almost 50 years.

H

arding’s first swim team originated in the 1970s, but participation was exclusive to male students. Almost 50 years later, junior Ashley Johnson and sophomore Alyssa Kohl established the University’s second iteration of the swim team for both men and women.

Johnson and Kohl, who swam competitively together before coming to Harding, signed up for a swimming class, Beginning & Intermediate Swim, in fall 2019. The course instructor, Kimberly Yingling, adjunct professor of kinesiology, encouraged the pair to form a club after they recognized the absence of an official swim team.

“It’s a question that I’ve heard every semester, but no students have ever followed through with trying to get a college team started until Ashley and Alyssa came along,” Yingling said.

According to Kohl, the deans fully supported a student-led swim club that incorporated equal participation of both genders. She said the club was officially recognized as a Harding sports activity but did not comply with NCAA requirements. “[The swim club] is a very new concept at Harding, and it was a huge step when we got to move forward with the creation of it,” Kohl said. “I think a lot of people were scared to make a move like this in the past with a boys’ and girls’ team, but the deans thought it was a great idea.”

After finalizing the official constitution for the new swim club, Johnson and Kohl made their first recruitment announcement in chapel.

Senior Trevor Jarrett, who swam competitively in high school, heard the announcement and wanted to join. Jarrett said he turned down swimming scholarships from other schools to attend Harding, and he was immediately interested in the opportunity to join the club.

“As soon as I heard about it, I knew that I was going to be all in,” Jarrett said.

According to Jarrett, Johnson and Kohl used their previous coaching experience to guide the club through its first season of training and competed as co-captains.

“It had been four years since I swam competitively on a team, and I knew it would be difficult to get back into shape, but my swim captains and team went through it all with me, so I loved it,” Jarrett said.

Kohl said she and Johnson wanted the club to be a place where anyone could unite in their passion and compete together.

“You didn’t have to be an Olympic swimmer to join the club,” Kohl said. “We just wanted it to be a fun and welcoming opportunity for the student body in general.” story by Caroline Lea

chapel

Senior Bible and ministry students participated in a special chapel once a week.

I

n 2016, faculty members of the College of Bible and Ministry wanted to create something to encourage their senior majors and minors before they graduated, so they developed the idea of Tabernacle.

Tabernacle was a chapel session held every Thursday for senior Bible and ministry majors and minors, but once a month the seniorsonly restriction was lifted. It was meant to be a time of worship and learning that went beyond the daily campus-wide chapel. It was a time and place for students focused on ministry to gather with peers and colleagues.

The Tabernacle committee chose the theme “The Presence of God” for fall 2019. Senior Elizabeth Tomlinson, a member of the committee, said she believed the theme was something of interest to all of the committee members as they discussed possible directions for Tabernacle.

“We were just talking about it in the beginning of the semester, and some people already had that on their hearts, and then they’re like, ‘Oh, it’s on your heart, too. Okay, that’s probably a spirit thing,’” Tomlinson said.

Junior Isaac Davis, a member of the committee, said his favorite part of Tabernacle was the energy of the students and faculty during worship. He said he valued the relationships he formed through Tabernacle.

“There’s something in the air there where people are engaged, and you choose to go there rather than the other chapel because you want to hear something that might be a little different.”

“There’s something in the air there where people are engaged, and you choose to go there rather than the other chapel because you want to hear something that might be a little different,” Davis said.

Alan Howell, instructor of Bible and ministry, said he hoped it would encourage students as they prepared to graduate.

“I think part of the reason [for creating Tabernacle] was just to have some community-building experience to help seniors as they’re finishing up — just to kind of wrap up well, and to try to speak into that experience and kind of create almost like an initiation,” Howell said. “I thought that was a great idea and wished I had had a similar experience, and so, I think it’s a good thing to do.” story by Elizabeth Shores

Harding updated its American Marketing Association chapter for the 2019-20 school year.

T

he American Marketing Association (AMA) was a national association for marketing professionals. AMA established a code of ethics within the field and published journals of marketing, research and news. Harding University had its own collegiate chapter for over 40 years.

Senior marketing major Taylor Sexton, president of Harding’s AMA chapter, said she joined the club during her junior year because of its potential to further her academic and personal growth. Sexton said she was disappointed with the inactivity of the club during that year.

Sexton emailed Dr. Rich Brown, chair of the marketing department, and expressed her desire to revamp the club and plan events that encouraged organizational growth.

“If I was going to be involved with AMA, I wanted it to be an active club, not just something I would put on my resume,” Sexton said.

Sexton said the revamp included scheduling more meetings and establishing a social media presence for broader communication than occasional emails. Brown helped arrange guest speakers to visit and share their experiences as examples of marketing in real life.

Brown said he wanted students to gain knowledge personally, professionally and academically. Sexton said students looked for academic clubs to involve themselves in to boost their resumes and to expand their capabilities.

“It gives the perfect opportunity to have real-life experience in your field,” Sexton said.

Jessica Martin, instructor of business administration and co-sponsor of Harding’s AMA chapter, was a member of AMA when she was a student. Martin said she benefited from the club through real-life application of skills she gained.

Sexton said AMA taught her more about marketing than she would have learned in a traditional classroom. Martin said understanding the concepts that applied to marketing could help launch students into careers.

“You are the product — on some level — as you are getting to move on into a career,” Martin said.

Martin said exposure was the key to the club’s success — exposure to different speakers, competitions, certification and networks. AMA made their members marketable by offering Google AdWords certification, entering case study competitions, and encouraging students to become professional certified marketers.

“I want students to walk out and say that they learned some things and benefited from being a part of this club,” Brown said.

Sexton said she was excited to see where Harding’s chapter of AMA would go and the various ways its leaders continued to restructure the club. story by Kylie Jones

E

ach semester, the National Broadcasting Society (NBS) visited local news stations as part of the organization. In fall 2019, their trip began at 4 a.m. to the Channel 7 news station in Little Rock, Arkansas, where they watched the 6 a.m. show. Junior Ethan Brazell said it was difficult to wake up early, but the experience was worth the loss of sleep.

“We got up so early because their morning show starts at 6 a.m., and we wanted to see what a morning show looks like, because at a news station, morning shows run different than a 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. show,” Brazell said. “It was really cool to wake up and see very energetic anchors at 6 a.m.”

The NBS members toured the station, sat in on a director’s meeting and sat behind the news set. Junior Lauren Bateman said she spotted multiple differences and similarities between HU16 and Channel 7.

“They had a smaller staff, so we got to see one person doing four jobs at once and how that works,” Bateman said. “I was surprised to see how similar it was to what we actually do.”

While visiting the Channel 7 news station, the NBS students had the opportunity to visit Harding alumni who worked there. Dr. Ginger Blackstone, assistant professor of communication, said she felt like a

proud mother whenever she visited former students and was happy to see them in their careers.

“I’m happy to say that our students that have gone to that station have typically had a good experience and enjoyed being there; some people have stuck around for years,” Blackstone said. “I’m happy to see a place where there’s still camaraderie [and] where people still enjoy being there. I’m very proud that our students caught the bug and are excited about it.”

The NBS members said it was encouraging to see alumni succeeding in their careers.

“It’s cool to see the longevity of a career, and that you can leave school and go to work somewhere for 20 years and still love it,” Brazell said. “I’m sure it’s a fear for a lot of people to wonder, ‘Am I doing something that I want to do for 20 years?’ So, it was very encouraging to hear from them and just the encouragement of ‘Keep doing what you’re doing, continue learning as much as you can and looking for opportunities.’” story by Grace Baker

Model UN gave students an opportunity to connect with other cultures while improving public speaking skills.

M

odel United Nations (UN) provided students with practice in public speaking and real-world experience. Model UN and Model Arab League had been organizations at Harding in previous years. When Dr. Liann Gallagher, assistant professor of history and political science, began working at Harding in 2016, however, all similar programs had disbanded.

Gallagher started Model UN at Harding in 2017, a year after she started teaching at the University.

Model UN was typically an extracurricular activity at most schools. However, Harding students were given the opportunity to take Model UN as a class for one hour, up to three times, or as a zero hour class, with only a class fee.

Junior political science majors Ilse Ghent and Michaela Wilkie became involved with Model UN when they both took a class in spring 2019 with Gallagher, who spread the word about Model UN. When she told the class she made food from each country they learned about, she said they were hooked.

“I had always wanted to do Model UN, but my high school did not have it either,” Ghent said. “And I never knew before I had a class with her that we even had a Model UN club, or class, or anything. So, I was really excited about it.”

In fall 2019, students prepared for a November conference. The class met once a week, and they talked about each selected country, learned parliamentary procedures and wrote speeches, all of which culminated at the conference.

Nearly 150 students representing 30 schools from Arkansas and Oklahoma attended the conference held Nov. 22-23 at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway.

“You choose a country,” Gallagher said. “Different countries have different people assigned to them. You could have one person assigned to a country, or you could have up to five or seven people assigned to a country. It has to do with what committees that country sits on and how many people are needed for each committee.”

The eight Harding students in attendance represented South Africa, Argentina and People’s Republic of China. On the day of the event, the students tried to either pass or block resolutions their assigned country would realistically support or oppose. The delegates simulated real-life UN committees.

“You are having to work together with other people that you do not really know, and it gives you a different world perspective as well,” Wilkie said. “You are having to learn about other countries other than the United States. Learning about other countries and their perspectives on things is very beneficial to anybody.”

“Students can take away tons of different skills from this, but I think my favorite thing to watch is their confidence level,” Gallagher said. “Not just how they speak, but how they conduct themselves.”

The team came home with five awards and were excited to expand their team in future years. story by Everett Kirkman

Harding’s Student Association recognized hard workers within the Harding community.

H

arding’s Student Association (SA) chose the theme “Celebrate” for the 2019-20 school year. It was tradition for the SA to announce an annual theme as inspiration for their effort as a council. The SA’s theme “Celebrate” was dedicated to the celebration of people, conversations and diversity around campus.

Senior Carson Gentry, SA treasurer, said the SA chose “Celebrate” because it applied to everything — from athletics and academics to people and places.

One of the major outcomes of the theme was celebrating individuals in chapel who were of unique significance to Harding. Nearly every other Monday, the SA honored someone they thought was an unsung hero or hard worker around campus and highlighted their contributions.

The first person celebrated was Marcus Barnett, facility services supervisor for physical resources. Barnett worked at Harding for over 35 years and was responsible for setting up and taking down on-campus events as well as managing waste.

The SA also honored Jeff Cavitt, maintenance worker; Jane Cavitt, registration and class scheduling coordinator; Sharon Williams, administrative assistant to the president; and a handful of other respected individuals throughout the school year. When deciding whom to celebrate, the SA took recommendations from staff, students or even anonymous suggestions and then voted on them as a council.

When considering nominees, Gentry said the SA looked for people who were not normally recognized.

“Recognizing the people we don’t really see pulls in the big picture,” Gentry said. “These faculty or staff or students really make a difference on our campus, and we never get to focus on them, but that’s something that the whole student body can do.”

Senior Michael Krupka, SA president, said the SA recognized heroes and hard workers within the Harding community and connected people through joy in a time filled with negativity. Krupka said people were often surrounded by influences who discouraged them and brought them down, so it was important to take time to be present amid all the distractions.

“Taking our energy and focusing on celebrating doesn’t mean that we are going to necessarily not notice the bad things in the world, but I think that we are going to be more effective workers and fixers for those downers if we go at it with essential happiness,” Krupka said.

Apart from honoring individuals in chapel, the SA celebrated diversity and conversation through various other activities like Testimonial Tuesdays, panels of people from different faiths, and chapels centered around celebrating different topics like authenticity and hope.

Junior Morgan Proffitt, SA secretary, said it was beautiful to attend a university that had groups of people wanting to celebrate and groups of people worthy of being celebrated. The SA’s goal in the celebration theme was to make people feel special and to take a moment to appreciate the joy they brought.

“Any moment can be special; it doesn’t have to have anything tied to it,” Proffitt said. “Just a day in the life is beautiful because it’s a day with the Lord.” story by Hannah Read

AERO

New engineering club Aero designed and built radio controlled planes for international competition.

N

ear the end of the 2018-19 school year, senior mechanical engineering major Alex Stroud approached Rich Wells, assistant professor of engineering and physics, about establishing an engineering club named Aero for his senior engineering project.

Stroud said Aero focused on designing, building and flying radio controlled (RC) planes for the Society for Automotive and Aeronautical Engineers’ (SAE) aero international competition.

Wells, who served as faculty adviser for Aero, said engineering majors were assigned to complete a senior project in which they designed, constructed and tested their own inventions in teams of four as part of a two semester class titled engineering projects I and II. He said Aero was a good fit for the project because it added a competitive aspect to the experience.

Stroud said he was interested in establishing Aero after his previous experience in SAE competitions with the Baja team. He recruited three other senior engineering majors — Andrew Pratt, Garrett Weaver and Bryan Sampson — during summer 2019 to join him on his senior project team and help lead Aero.

Weaver said he learned about the opportunity through Pratt and decided to join Aero after researching the SAE aero competition. He said he was excited to be involved in a hands-on application of what

284

he learned in engineering courses.

“Getting to do something that’s tangible is exciting, and learning more about how planes work and how the controlling works is interesting,” Weaver said. “And I’m excited about having a team to work with as well.”

Stroud said he hoped the seniors would mentor the underclassmen they recruited into the club to build a foundation for the future.

“We can teach a little bit about engineering design, and they can have some experience along with that,” Stroud said. “I think we’ve got a good foundation to potentially start this to be like an annual competition.”

Wells said he wanted Aero to continue to grow like the Baja team.

He said he wanted to impress the other teams at the competition with how they performed for their first year because he loved seeing the confidence that competitions like Aero and Baja gave Harding engineering students.

“Some of them think they’re taking a risk coming to a small school in a Christian environment, but they can compete against anybody in MIT or anywhere,” Wells said. “I’m very serious about that. They’re getting the same quality education — guarantee that.” story by Sarah Barnard

CLOSING

At the beginning of each school year, the Petit Jean staff began conceptualizing how to accurately depict each student’s experience and represent every individual’s unique perspective of the campus. Naturally, this came with its own challenges, but through multiple deadlines, numerous rounds of edits, a diverse staff and unique class of writers, everyone who contributed to this book worked painstakingly to illustrate each person’s point of view. The 2019-20 Petit Jean Yearbook could not feasibly record everyone’s exact experience, but it was our hope that each student would feel their memories echoed by this book in some way.

LET TER from the EDITOR

H

ow does one encapsulate 365 days, numerous faculty and staff, and over 4,000 students into one book? That was what I was tasked with as I was hired for this job last fall, and that was the question I asked myself repeatedly over the course of this year.

When identifying something that could unify the broadness just described, I eventually decided on the word “echo.”

I have always been fascinated with the senses and the different experiences through them. When I thought of the word echo, I thought of the definition “ to be repeated or reverberate after the original sound has stopped.” This is the idea I wanted to capture in this book.

When I decided on my theme, I struggled because echoes are generally found in empty places, but the meaning I found in it was the opposite. To me, Harding was a place full: of people, of memories and of echoes. Beginning March 16, 2020, Harding’s campus was empty.

Though a worldwide pandemic led to online classes and a barren campus, Harding and those who knew it were still filled with the echoes I first envisioned a year before. These echoes I saw created by those on Harding’s campus expanded across the country and globe through the hard work of faculty to provide online education, the support of students and alumni for those who were misplaced by the sudden changes in campus life, and the camaraderie between all members of the Harding community.

We are more than just our present actions, achievements and words. We are a collection of every moment before us. We bring stories from our pasts. We feel the reverberations of things we have seen and experienced.

We are more than just our pasts; we are affecting every moment after us. Everything we say and do affects another person, even if unseen.

Harding is more than just the location of these reverberations; it too creates an echo in us. Each interaction we have, organization we join, and class we participate in is affected by our actions.

Our time here will continue to shape us as we grow older.

I sometimes find the idea of these echoes terrifying. If everything I do affects everything else, I do not want to mess anything up. I think this fear is good when channeled correctly. It pushes us to be better and do more for those who come after us. We learn from our mistakes and missteps and are better equipped to assist the next inhabitants of this University, this country and this world.

This year’s unusual situation helped me find the true meaning and value of our present echoes. Our abrupt dismissal was full of unknowns. During this time, each encouraging and supportive connection between those who were anxious, uncertain or lonely showed the effects of our actions and words.

We echoed across miles, states and countries. Our echoes were different but still just as important.

Through this unusual time I recognized that we each have these echoes in us and moving out of us. We are filled with echoes. We are producers of echoes. We are collections of echoes. We are these continuous reverberations. We are the repeated sound.

You are more than just the now; you are a brilliant being full of action, movement and sound. You are a being of echoes.

photographers’ favorites

S

erving as head photographer of the Petit Jean yearbook has given me the experience of working on a team toward better personal development. Being a photographer for this staff is not only taking photos, it is being part of a journey where you see your own growth and that of your co-workers, where you meet people and open your mind to new ways of thinking. I have enjoyed every second and every photograph. As a symbolic idea of the theme “echo,” I have decided to show a before and after of one of the best known parts of the campus at different seasons of the year. I personally like photography because it allows me to have memories I can keep in my mind without losing a single detail. It was a pleasure to take photographs that generated a variety of memories of Harding.

O

ver the past year, I have taken more photos than ever before in my life, and I’m proud of each and every one of them because they each tell a story. I joined the Petit Jean staff as a way to contribute to something Harding students could cherish with their memories of this place in the years to come. Along the way, I met many amazing people who have incredible stories, and I am blessed to be able to say that I helped tell them here.

y discovering more about the people at Harding, I have come to realize just how vast our God is. Each event I have attended and person I have met encompassed his image, each in their own unique way. I am blessed to have been one of the Petit Jean yearbook’s assistant photographers, and I hope the images I captured will show a fragment of how beautiful the soul of Harding is.

D

r. Clifton L. Ganus Jr. came to Harding as a student in 1939, and many said he never left. Ganus served 73 years as an integral part of the faculty as both a Bible and history professor, chair of the history department, dean of the School of American Studies, vice president, president, chancellor and chancellor emeritus.

Ganus spent a significant part of his life traveling the world gathering political and cultural knowledge and was instrumental in the establishment of Harding’s International Programs.

Ganus led Harding College to its transition into Harding University. He also was instrumental in the resumption of Harding’s athletic program and was known for his support of all University teams.

Beyond his titles and achievements, Ganus was known for his faith, generosity and kind spirit. Ganus used his talents to further the Harding mission, contribute to various charities and works, and help others in need.

Ganus was more than just a Harding president. He was a man who spent his life devoted to God. Through that, Ganus made an impact on the University, the community and the people around him.

“Where else would I go? If I am not at Harding, I will be in Heaven.”

in memory of

Mark Perrone Jan. 24, 1998-Aug. 8, 2019

M

ost people knew him by the way he dressed – in a trench coat and fedora – but few had the privilege of getting to truly know Mark Perrone.

On Aug. 8, 2019, senior Mark Perrone died unexpectedly. Perrone majored in criminal justice with plans to serve in law enforcement and eventually become a detective in cases concerning children. While Perrone’s death was a shock to many, those who knew him well have no doubt he received the ultimate reward.

Junior Connor Smith, a close friend of Perrone throughout high school and into college, said Perrone loved what he loved and did not worry about the opinions of others. Perrone had an eclectic taste in movies, books and video games, which he passionately shared with his close friends. Perrone not only had a unique sense of style but also a unique sense of empathy and service.

Smith said the most important person in Perrone’s life was his younger sister Grace. Smith believed Perrone’s empathy grew because of his sister. Smith said the thought of something happening to her motivated Perrone to advocate for other children, which was why he wanted to pursue law enforcement.

“Mark was known by many but also known by few,” Smith said.

Sam Jeffrey, director of the criminal justice program, said Perrone’s legacy was one of genuine kindness and one to be aspired to.

“Mark is basking in being loved right now,” Jeffrey said. “That’s not only comforting [to me], it brings a smile to my face.”

Jeffrey said although Perrone had bad days, he would not let that affect how he treated those around him. Perrone showed consistent kindness which stemmed not from obligation, but rather from genuine concern for others.

Senior Kennedy Barden, a friend of Perrone since middle school, said Perrone always cared for those around him before he thought of himself. He said Perrone never let his own struggles hinder him from showing the love and kindness of Christ through his interactions with others.

“He was really just a 100% genuine person, and he cared about how you felt and was always making sure those around him were taken care of before himself,” Barden said. “He was extremely selfless and thought of himself almost never.”

On Aug. 10, 2019, Perrone’s loved ones gathered at Powell Funeral Home in Searcy, Arkansas, to celebrate the life Perrone lived. The pastor spoke in celebration of his life and read testimonies the Perrone family wrote about him. Barden said the funeral was a fantastic way to honor Perrone’s memory and his impact on others.

Students from the criminal justice program along with the Student Association organized a candlelight vigil Aug. 27, 2019, to honor their friend and classmate.

COVID-19 changes

COVID-19 brought an abrupt end to on-campus classes and activities for the 2019-20 school year.

O

n Jan. 21, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed in a press release that there was a case of COVID-19 in the United States. The virus originated in Wuhan, China, in late 2019 and infected hundreds of thousands of people around the world.

After the first confirmed case in the U.S., cases grew exponentially, causing many restaurants, businesses and schools to close. Harding University moved all classes online beginning March 16. Administration, students and faculty adapted all classes and planned events to deal with these unprecedented events.

by Emma Aly

Online Classes

Students and faculty left Harding University’s campus March 9, 2020, to embark on their spring break travel with intentions to return to campus the following week. On March 12, Harding announced its decision to close its campus temporarily due to the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic. On March 19, the University canceled all spring semester events and closed the campus for the remainder of the semester.

President Bruce McLarty said in his first email about the temporary closure that the decisions made were unprecedented but were in the best interest of the Harding community.

“These measures are unlike any we have ever had to undertake as a University; each decision is being made with the welfare of the Harding campus community in mind as well as concern for the surrounding community,” McLarty said. “I am deeply saddened that this situation has had a negative impact on the Harding experience of so many and ask you to join me in prayer for peace and healing for all during these challenging conditions.”

Senior Christina Curtis said she was left in disbelief when she read the intial email from Harding about switching to online classes temporarily.

“So, upon receiving the email, regarding temporary closure, you could say it left me in a state of, sort of, disbelief,” Curtis said. “I, at the time, thought it was a precautionary measure being taken. I honestly started to think positively about it, thinking, ‘Well, this is an extended break to get some much-needed rest and time to get caught up on some last-minute things before graduation.’”

On the other hand, Dr. Jim Miller, associate professor of communication, was not surprised when the University moved online for the remainder of the semester.

“The University made the right decision based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and healthcare professionals around the world,” Miller said. “Harding is committed to keeping our communities safe and healthy. Suspending on-campus classes indefinitely was the best way for us to do that.”

When Harding officially switched to online classes, faculty had limited time to convert their courses. Professors continued to use online methods for grading class assignments. Many professors used video conferencing software to communicate with their students, and others simply used email to contact students about how the virtual classroom would work.

“We miss our community,” Miller said. “We miss the interactions that extend well beyond the classroom. Staying connected helps us know we’re not alone as we adjust to a new way of living, at least for a season.”

International Programs

Beginning in February 2020, COVID-19 made its first impact on Harding University by abruptly ending the Harding University in Florence (HUF) study abroad program only three weeks into the trip.

This first cancellation was the beginning of many; the remaining spring study abroad programs – Harding University in Greece (HUG) and Harding University in Latin America (HULA) – would soon follow suit with the cancellation of summer programs as well.

Audra Pleasant, executive director of Harding’s International Programs (IP), said the decision to close the HUF campus was made Feb. 26, 2020, based on warnings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. State Department as well as restrictions imposed by the Italian government prohibiting educational tours throughout Italy.

“This was not an outcome any of us imagined for HUF this spring, and I share in the disappointment and sadness that many students expressed after hearing the decision,” Pleasant said.

Robbie Shackelford, director of HUF, said Harding was one of seven other university study abroad programs in Florence that sent students home within the same week. Shackelford expressed his love for the HUF program and his heartache for the students.

“I love sharing its culture and beauty with the young adults that choose to come; I was sad to see them leave,” Shackelford said. “After three fun, intense weeks, we had bonded, formed a family and were looking forward to the rest of our time of learning, adventures and experiences together.”

On March 11, 2020, IP made the decision to close the HUG campus due to the growing number of cases of COVID-19 in Greece and concerns about limitations on international travel, according to Pleasant. Sophomore Katie Beth Sharp attended the HUG spring 2020 program and said she was disappointed about returning home early but was thankful for the experience.

“I have been kind of bitter about being sent home because of the coronavirus, but when I actually look back at it – I still got two months of adventure that I could never trade for anything,” Sharp said.

On March 12, 2020, IP made the decision to close the HULA campus based on the Global Level 3 Health Advisory issued by the U.S. Department of State and the same concern about limitations on international travel, according to Pleasant. However, due to a fog delay in Arequipa, Peru, the HULA students were unable to leave in time for their connecting flight to the U.S. Because of their missed flight, the group remained in Peru until the U.S. Embassy could help them find another way home.

Shawn Daggett, the visiting faculty member for HULA 2020, said students were still taken care of through home-cooked meals prepared by their hotel’s owner and family. During the time period between their attempted and actual returns to the U.S., Daggett said students attended classes and chapel, played ping-pong, watched movies and did many other things a HULA student would do on a normal day at their hotel. “[The students] are cheerful, hopeful and making the most of the situation,” Daggett said. “This is an extraordinary group of students who are thoughtful, kind, fun-loving and who absolutely enjoy being together.”

On March 23, 2020, Pleasant sent an email to students and parents involved with international programs saying IP made the decision to cancel all undergraduate study abroad programs for summer 2020.

The decision affected HUF, HUG, Art & Design International, Summer Undergraduate Research in Florence, College of Business in London, and Scotland for pre-student teachers.

Spring Break Missions

Spring Sing

Spring Sing was a time-honored tradition on Harding’s campus. It was an annual opportunity for social clubs and friends of social clubs to unite together under friendly competition to raise money for charity. The excitement for the show came to a halt when it was announced the event would be postponed until spring 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The announcement came March 19, 2020, accompanied by the announcement that Harding would switch to online classes for the remainder of the semester.

Eight club shows, two jazz band features and nine production numbers by the hosts, hostesses and ensemble were in the final stages of rehearsals and preparations for the show when the announcement was made.

The Spring Sing directors, Dr. Steven Frye and Cindee Stockstill, adapted the theme “Once Upon a Time” to “Twice Upon a Time” for the 2021 event. According to Frye, seniors were offered the opportunity to direct and perform in their club shows the next year if their schedules allowed; they will also be credited and recognized for their work in their respective shows, regardless of whether or not they would be physically present at Spring Sing in 2021.

Frye also said that though the cancellation was disappointing, he believed the 2021 show would be an important show.

“It reminds me of Spring Sing 2002, the semester after 9/11,” Frye said. “It was a cathartic moment for the campus and community. We seek healing in celebration.”

Spring Sing provided many students with an opportunity to tap into creative outlets and meet people from different social clubs on campus.

Senior Kally Byrd, a director for women’s social clubs Ju Go Ju and Ko Jo Kai and men’s social club Sub T-16 show, said it was a chance to get involved on campus and to have fun while raising money for charity. She was involved in Spring Sing every year she was a student at Harding, and she said the announcement was bittersweet.

“It’s a weird mix of emotions,” Byrd said. “I’m a senior and graduating in the fall, so it’s really weird. I’ve been a director for two years, and it’s something that brings me so much happiness through the relationships we make through this really cool process.”

In the spring 2020 semester, Harding announced the cancellation of all University-sponsored international spring break mission trips due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Dr. Andrew Baker, assistant professor of Bible and ministry, said the decision to cancel the trips stemmed from the ending of the Harding University in Florence (HUF) study abroad program. The virus continued to spread, and the administration decided it was unsafe to continue traveling outside of the U.S. Baker said his concerns focused on the students’ travels in and out of the U.S. “My concerns were with students leaving the country and not being able to come back and not being able to get out of the countries they were in,” Baker said.

The mission teams received an email notifying them of a meeting the week before their trips. With prior knowledge of the spread of the virus and the cancellation of the study abroad trips, many mission trip participants assumed the trips would be canceled.

Sophomore Katelyn Fehr, who planned to be a leader of a mission trip to Ensenada, Mexico, said the cancellation was disappointing.

“I think what — at least for ourselves — what we were most looking forward to was getting to go back and see those kids that we’ve formed the relationships with,” Fehr said.

Fehr’s team’s objective was to visit the City of Children to put on a Vacation Bible School and minister to children. They also planned (Continued on the next page) to help clean and take care of whatever the local people needed. Harding leadership worked to ensure the students were up to date on every decision made whether it impacted their trip directly or not, but the information was not as easy to handle for many students who had prepared to participate in their mission.

To help the efforts of the students, spring break mission leaders worked with specific locations to ensure there were not any financial liabilities. The group that was supposed to travel to Jamaica sent materials such as songbooks and Bibles to the church they were working with so that the mission did not go unserved.

Though the trips were canceled, there was a trip led by Kyle Thompson, assistant director for the Office of Community Connection, to help Nashville, Tennessee, recover from the tornado damage that occurred in early A swing sits empty on the Front Lawn March 29, 2020.

Athletics

While students and faculty continued to work through academic curriculum remotely after the announcement, athletic teams were unable to finish their seasons.

Dr. Patrick McGaha, head coach of the Harding baseball team, said his players felt the loss of a premature ending.

“They worked so hard all fall and were off to a great start,” McGaha said. “We all love to be together, and it’s really sad that we can’t continue to work together toward our goals.”

Phil Berry, head coach of the Harding softball team, said he received the news with a similar sense of disappointment. He said the softball team was heartbroken, but that they adjusted as well as they could.

“We laughed together some and cried together a lot — mostly just supported each other as we dealt with the changes,” Berry said.

According to McGaha, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) enacted waivers to extend eligibility for Division II student athletes whose final seasons were shortened by the suspension.

Senior Connor Kelly, an infielder on the baseball team, said the initial announcement was disappointing, but he was excited for the opportunity to be on the team for an extra year.

“Just the chance to be in the clubhouse one more year, go on road trips, and be with the guys for a whole other year is going to be really special,” Kelly said. “Also, just another year to be a part of the family we have is going to benefit me, because I think any time I get to spend around these guys makes me a better person and better individual because I think so highly of the guys we have on this team.”

Senior heptathlete Emily Shell said she saw the end of the season as an opportunity to be thankful, viewing frustration as evidence of hard work.

“We can choose to be angry and bitter about the situation, or we can choose to recognize that the things of this world are fleeting,” Shell said. “We can be sad, but still move on from this stronger knowing that we can overcome anything through Jesus Christ.”

Coaches and athletes alike were not anticipating the campus closure, but they relied on one another as members of a team and found encouragement as part of the Harding community.

“I believe the right decision was made by our administration and have faith that our social distancing will pay off in the long run,” McGaha said. “It just hurts, but we know God is in control during this crazy time.

“Perhaps the echoes of people we once loved still linger in the places we frequented with them, and that is why we go back… Not so much to remember them as to feel them…”

Ranata Susuki

E

ach year, we said goodbye to friends, and relationships we created as our time together at Harding University came to a close. The time we spent together was not wasted. Social clubs, athletic teams, organizations, international programs and classes gave each of us the opportunity to form these meaningful relationships with one another. There was no guarantee where our lives would go once we left Harding, but those relationships and experiences we made continued to echo through the pages of this book and served as an eternal reminder that our time spent here was worthwhile. However, this book serves beyond a simple reminder of those experiences. It captures each memorable moment, and that lingering feeling will resonate within these pages, allowing us to return to the places and people that once meant so much to us.
