The Cumberland Mission Rick Fleenor ’85 Director of Alumni Services

umberland College has historically served students primarily, but not exclusively, from the beautiful mountain regions of Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio and Alabama which have traditionally been described as Appalachia. The College’s impact can be seen in the achievements of its graduates who have assumed roles of leadership in this region and throughout the nation. Cumberland continues to offer promising students of all backgrounds a broad based liberal arts program enriched with Christian values. Its commitment to a strong academic program is joined with a commitment to a strong work ethic. Through a traditional liberal arts program, Cumberland College attempts to foster in its students a heightened awareness and sensitivity to the search for truth and a deepened responsibility toward mankind. Students are encouraged to think critically and creatively so that they may better prepare themselves for lives of responsible service and leadership. This edition of Cumberland Today highlights the accomplishments of students and alumni and underscores the commitment on the part of faculty members. In the pursuit of excellence in education, every person related to the college plays an important role. Students, faculty, staff, administration, alumni and others all bear responsibility for helping the college realize its mission. Assistance can be provided in a variety of forms, including: encouraging freshmen and other students to attend the college, telling friends about the college, and contributing funds to help the college provide students with financial assistance and comfortable facilities. Together, we can realize our mission. (Portions of this article include excepts from the Cumberland College Catalog.)

911 A Different Meaning

hen used together, these numbers were traditionally used to describe a distress call or the national system that could render assistance for nearly any type of emergency situation. These numbers have taken on new meaning. They are now used in reference to the day that terrorist attacks refocused our nation on the importance of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The day started like most any other day on our campus. But, the news of the events that occurred in New York City and Washington, D.C., as well as the heroic downing of the plane in Pennsylvania, quickly changed the mood of the campus community. As these events unfolded, the college administration took steps to inform students, faculty and staff by setting up viewing areas in the Boswell Campus Center and the O. Wayne Rollins Center. Though the campus continued to function as normal, individuals were afforded the opportunity to learn about the events and rally support for each other and the individuals involved through periodic moments of prayer. Local pastors, as well as faculty and staff members, were on hand to pray with students and to lend emotional support throughout the morning and as needed during the next couple of days. On Thursday, September 13th, the college’s Baptist Student Union sponsored a “Community of Faith Blood Drive.” Though this event had been scheduled for some time, campus minister Dean Whitaker

called the event “providential.” The initial goal of the event was to collect 75 units of blood. As a result of the events on September 11th, the response from students and the Williamsburg community was overwhelming. After just two hours, 49 units had already been drawn from donors. Overall, 153 units of blood were donated to the Central Kentucky Blood Center. The college class schedule was altered on Friday, September 14th, to provide an opportunity for the campus community to participate in a national moment of prayer, as requested by President Bush. The campus community also responded to Bush’s request for donations to the American Fund for Afghan Children, established by the American Red Cross, by collecting money following a convocation service on October 15th.

Gatliff Chapel Restored

une 16, 2001 was an eventful day. As members of the college administration and staff were beginning the second day of a summer orientation program for new students, smoke was noticed coming from the top of the Gatliff Chapel. Williamsburg fire officials were alerted to a fire in the Dr. Ancil Gatliff Memorial Building at 7:58 a.m. on that Saturday morning. The Gatliff Building, constructed in 1955, is a centerpiece of the college campus. Administrative offices are housed in the building along with an impressive chapel and several classrooms. The Gatliff Memorial Chapel was completely renovated in 1992. The renovation included the installation of beautiful stained glass windows that depict events in the life of Christ as well as windows portraying the history of the college. An additional renovation project including the main corridor was completed earlier this year. “We are extremely thankful that no one was injured in this fire,” states college president Dr. Jim Taylor. “We have much for which to be thankful.” Just days before the fire, the chapel was used during a weeklong youth camp which involved more than 400 teenagers and their sponsors. Had the fire occurred an hour later, there would have been nearly 200 students and their families involved in the orientation program that is traditionally conducted in the chapel. The college is additionally fortunate that there were a large number of administrative staff members on campus when the fire occurred. Had the fire began on a Saturday morning when there were no planned programs, the damages could have been much more extensive.

Structural damage from the fire was contained to the attic area above the Gatliff Chapel. The interior of the chapel sustained smoke and water damage. An impressive pipe organ, that was installed when the building was constructed, was also destroyed. In addition, wiring, lighting and various components of the sound system were damaged. There was also water damage to the flooring in the main corridor. Clean up and restoration efforts began immediately upon receiving approval from the state fire marshal. The costs for the restoration have far exceeded the initial $100,000 damage estimate. Since insurance coverage was limited to replacing actually damaged items, and due to the dated materials involved, there were additional costs related to replacing the entire ceiling, recovering pews, and upgrading the sound system. In addition, the stage and steps were reconfigured to compensate for the water damage that occurred in these areas. The restoration costs to date have climbed beyond $500,000. “We are grateful for the assistance from dedicated alumni and friends of the college,” Taylor stated. “Without this type of support, this effort would have been very difficult.” Though the restoration process took longer than was initially expected, the facility was reopened for use in mid-November. The Gatliff Chapel is regularly used for weekly student led worship services, campus related programs, weddings and a variety of other events. The restored facility brings a renewed sense of pride for both the history of this facility and for its future as a center of campus life.

Unprecedented Leadership 155 Years of Service

ord Montgomery has defined leadership as “the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose, and the character which inspires confidence.” For more than 20 years, Cumberland College has enjoyed the benefits of an administrative team that is very likely unprecedented in the realm of higher education. One unique factor within the college’s administrative team is that four out of five top administrators are graduates of the college. This has afforded the opportunity for these individuals to have a unique perspective for, and a unique commitment to, their work. The most impressive characteristic, however, is that these top five administrators have 155 combined years of service to the college. These individuals have certainly made a significant contribution to the stability and success of Cumberland College. Though countless others have made contributions along the way, these five individuals were charged with the responsibility of casting the vision, setting the course, leading the way and determining the pace for others to follow. Their leadership has made a difference in the lives of hundreds of students as they sought to provide leadership for this institution. It has been said that, “everything rises and falls on leadership.” This has truly been the case for Cumberland College. As is often necessary, most of the administrative team’s work has been behind the scenes and has included many long hours. While often unnoticed, sometimes unappreciated and certainly lacking

much deserved recognition, the resulting influence of the following individuals is without question: James H. Taylor ’68, president and professor of education. Degrees held: B.S., Cumberland College; M.A., Union College; Ed.D., Nova University; Ed.D., George Peabody College, Vanderbilt University. Dr. Taylor was first employed by Cumberland in 1968. He has served as president since August, 1980. Michael B. Colegrove ’71, vice president for student services, dean of labor, and professor of education. Degrees held: B.S., Cumberland College; M.A., Eastern Kentucky University; Ph.D., George Peabody College, Vanderbilt University. Dr. Colegrove was employed by Cumberland from 1973-87 and returned to the college again in 1989. Joseph E. Early, Sr. ’59, vice president for academic affairs and professor of mathematics. Degrees held: B.S., Cumberland College; M.M. and Ed.D., University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Dr. Early has been employed by Cumberland since 1969. Dr. George Ramey, vice president for business affairs and treasurer, professor of religion. Degrees held: B.A., William Jewell College; B.D., Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; Th.M. and Ph.D., Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Dr. Ramey has been employed by Cumberland since 1968. Mrs. E. Sue Wake ’70, vice president for institutional advancement and assistant to the president for administration. Degrees held: B.S., Cumberland College; M.A., Union College. Mrs. Wake has been employed by Cumberland since 1970.

Early Announces Retirement ... New VP Selected

hortly after the end of the spring semester, Dr. Joe Early, Cumberland’s vice president for academic affairs, announced his plans for retirement from the position he has held for 21 years. While his retirement officially takes effect August 31, 2002, Early began a leave of absence on New Year’s Day. When he is fully retired, Early will have served the college for 33 years. “I’ve been very fortunate,” says Early. “The attraction about Cumberland College is that the people here are extraordinary. I will miss all the relationships with the faculty and staff — the conversations and all kinds of exchanges we have had over the years,” he continued. Dr. James Taylor, president of Cumberland College, said Early would certainly be missed. “We are deeply indebted for his contributions. He has served as a role model and a Christian man. I respect what he has done.” The search for a new vice president for academic affairs included a pool of 60 very qualified applicants. On November 27, 2001, the college named Dr. Donald W. Good as Early’s successor. Good comes to Cumberland from Carson Newman College in Jefferson City, TN. The last six of Good’s 13 years there were served in central academic administration, having most recently served as assistant provost. Good began his duties at Cumberland in mid January. During the brief interim between the beginning of Early’s leave of absence and Good’s arrival on campus, Sue Weedman, associate dean, served as acting vice president for academic affairs. Dr. Taylor stated, “We are appreciative of Mrs. Weedman’s work as chair of our search committee and during this interim period.” (The upcoming fall edition of Cumberland Today will feature additional articles on Dr. Early’s retirement and Dr. Good as the newest addition to the Cumberland family.)

AlumniSPOTLIGHT Dr. Sam Ballou ’53

s a local boy from Williamsburg, Cumberland College has been a part of my life from youth. The Cumberland baseball field joined my parents’ home. Not only did I spend many hours on that field during the summer, but we put a basketball goal in the outfield and played on it for years. We also played basketball in the college gym many times; finally, Dr. Boswell offered to open it one night a week for us if we Dr. Ballou would quit slipping into the building. He not only opened it, he also supplied the basketballs and played along with us. I might add he was very good and very rough. I enrolled in Cumberland College in 1951. The next two years provided some of my fondest memories, life-long friends and most important perhaps the work ethic needed for me to continue my education. It was there that I decided on my career and received the encouragement and personal attention that motivated me to become a more serious student. Professor P. R. Jones gave me my first introduction to College assignments when I was asked to put a chemistry equation on the blackboard. I had completely ignored the assignment and as I stood there without a clue as to what to do, he threw a hard-backed eraser across the room with such force that when it hit very close to me it almost cracked the board. He then told me to sit down and meet him in his office after class. There he informed me that he had all the Ballou boys and they had all done well (my Dad and two of my uncles) and he did not plan on me doing any different. I remember Professor Vallandingham and his frustrations with the guys being late for 8:00 Saturday morning trigonometry classes — then offering to teach us how to use the slide rule in the evenings — Dr. Boswell routinely helping us cram at night for his Physics tests. I also recall Mrs. Boswell having us for breakfast and taking our German final in her kitchen. When I arrived on the campus of Eastern Kentucky University in 1953, I was told I would need to take my general chemistry and zoology over as I would not be properly prepared for the advanced classes — after quite a bit of discussion, I was allowed to go into those classes. When our first comparative anatomy test was given, the top two grades were from myself and another student who was also told he couldn’t compete. My final in one of our senior chemistry classes involved giving each student a different problem and returning with the answer — this was exactly how Professor P. R. did in organic chemistry and was no problem for me, but this created a serious problem for others who

had gone through the year mostly by memorizing. I later received a BS degree from Eastern with a major in chemistry — Professor P. R. Jones became one of my all time favorite teachers and a good friend. My life after Cumberland has been far better than anyone could deserve. After graduating from EKU, I enrolled at the University of Louisville Dental School. While at Louisville Dental School, I met and married Peggy Beams of Hazard, a dental hygiene student. Upon my graduation in 1958, we moved to Corbin, KY, where I joined the dental practice of my uncle, Dr. O.L. Ballou. I practiced dentistry from 1958 until 1998, retiring after arthritis in my hands and back made it increasingly difficult to work. I have tried to be involved in all facets of our community. In the recreational area I was on the original group that began a golf and country club, served as a little league baseball coach, played and coached a church softball team, and helped organize a Christian Bass Club, (a unique organization that has gotten some attention in the Bass Club world). I became concerned that our city schools in the 50’s had less than 40% high school graduates attend college so I served a term on the city school board helping push for a policy that did not allow extracurricular participation unless a C average was maintained (athletics, band, etc.). This policy was very unpopular at first and led me to be defeated in the next election, but I’m proud to say the policy is still in effect and over 75% of Corbin High graduates now attend college. I have been an active member of the Corbin Lions Club for over 35 years serving in all of the offices of the club. In my Christian walk, I have served as a Deacon since 1961 and Adult Sunday School teacher since 1960 at Central Baptist Church, Corbin. Peggy and I have also served as Volunteer Overseas Missionaries. We were in Russia in 1995. Peggy was in London, England, with her Acteens group in 2000 working with refugees from displaced countries. At the same time, I was with a team serving in Ecuador. We each had felt after retirement we would like to do this; God has been so good to allow us this opportunity. I have been honored to serve as a trustee at Cumberland for nearly thirty years. I have seen the lean years, Dr. Boswell’s retirement, and was chairman when Dr. Taylor was appointed President. I have felt a personal pride as I have seen our college grow from a 200 plus student body junior college to its present status as one of the leading private four-year Christian Colleges in America. I consider myself the richest of men. God has given me a faithful Christian wife, three adult Christian children with good professions and solid work ethics, seven beautiful grandchildren, each very special to me, and the good health to work and serve for 40 years in the community of my choice. No one could ask for anything more.

AlumniSPOTLIGHT Dr. Arliss L. Roaden ’49

y early education was at Frankfort #1 Elementary School and Woodbine High School in Whitley County, KY. After graduating from Cumberland, I continued my education, receiving an A.B. from Carson Newman College and both the Masters and Doctors degrees in Educational Administration from the University of Tennessee. The academic and spiritual climate at Dr. Roaden Cumberland shaped my subsequent career as a teacher, researcher and administrator in higher education. The teachers at Cumberland took a personal interest in me, in my studies and in my development as a 17-year-old student. They championed the success of all their students. My career was in the field of education where I have served as professor, dean of the graduate school and vice provost for research at the Ohio State University and then as president of Tennessee Technological University for eleven years. I retired after ten years of service to the Tennessee State Higher Education Executive Officer’s post with the Higher Education Commission. My professional career has provided opportunities for service on the Boards of the First American Bank in Cookeville, TN; the National Center for Youth Issues (past Chairman); the Middle Tennessee Boy Scout Council, of which I have been Vice President and Council Commissioner; the Middle Tennessee Region of STARS (Students Taking A Right Stand), a drug alcohol and violence prevention program (past Chairman); as the Fund Raising Chairman for the Tennessee Division of the American Cancer Society; and as Fund Raising Chairman for the Tennessee Baptist Children’s Homes. I have actively served my community as president of the Lions Club in Nashville and as a member of the district Governors of the Middle Tennessee Lions Clubs. My church involvement includes service as deacon and Sunday school teacher in Columbus, OH, Cookeville, and Nashville, TN. In Columbus and Nashville, I served as chairman of the Deacons and Church Moderator. Currently, I serve as a deacon, Sunday school teacher, Sunday school director and chairman of the personnel committee. My career has also afforded me the opportunity to author, coauthor or edit five books and to publish numerous research reports, articles in professional journals and chapters in books. I am active in national and international activities. Some examples include: president, national organization of State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO); member, Board of Directors of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities; commissioner and treasurer, Education Commission of the States; member, Board of Trustees of the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges; member, Board of Directors of the Southern

Region Education Board; chairman, Editorial Committee of the American Educational Research Association; vice president and council member of the National Council of Athletic Administrators (NCAA); president, Ohio Valley Athletic Conference; and member and past president, Phi Delta Kappa Education Foundation Board of Governors. I have also studied higher education institutions in China, Taiwan, France and Canada. For my service to the field of education, I have been fortunate to receive a number of commendations including one from the Tennessee Legislature and the Governor and the Tennessee Board of Regents authorizing the naming of the Student Center at Tennessee Technological University “The Arliss L. Roaden University Center.” Additional honors include the Centennial Medallion at the Ohio State University for excellence of Alumni and Faculty; distinguished service honors, Phi Delta Kappa International; best evaluation study of the year (for my evaluation of the Hawaii Public Schools), the American Educational Research Association; the designated Executive Director Emeritus of the Tennessee Higher Education Commission and President Emeritus of Tennessee Technological University; and honorary doctors degrees by Cumberland College and Tusculum. In the area of community service work, I have been recognized by Tennessee Boy Scout Council with the Silver Beaver Award, the Eagle Class Honoree and the Good Shepherd Award; the Tennessee Division of the American Cancer Society’s National Division Award of the St. George Medal; Toastmasters International’s Communication and Leadership Award; Cookeville Tennessee Lion’s Club “Lion of the Decade”; Jaycees’ “Rotarian of the Year;” “Boss of the Year;” The Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Hall of Fame; and the Middle Tennessee Chapter of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame’s “Contribution to Football Commendation.” Whatever I have experienced has come from a philosophy of life, which started with Miss Bess at Cumberland College — a philosophy of caring deeply about your students and about what you are teaching. Throughout my career in higher education, I have learned that the Miss Besses of this world are like the finest gemstones; they are rare and precious. I have observed this same philosophy among the faculty and administrators at Cumberland College. The college enrolls students, teaches them, loves them, and inspires them to become better than they had ever dreamed they could become. Surely, the faculty and staff don’t do their work for monetary gain, but for the love of it and because they are making a miraculous difference in the lives of their students. My vision for Cumberland is that the philosophy of caring deeply about the success of students and the spiritual climate will continue to grow and prosper. (Dr. Roaden and his wife Mary Etta are the proud parents of two daughters and they have four grandchildren. They reside in Brentwood, TN.)

AlumniSPOTLIGHT Dr. Kimberly Cornelius ’80

y earliest college memories begin with the summer of 1976 when Cumberland College awarded me a full summer scholarship for classes between my junior and senior years in high school. This was a wonderful growing experience and began my career. Academically, I mastered biology and English that summer but I grew in so many other ways. This path opened my eyes to all the opportuniDr. Cornelius ties and challenges that lay ahead. I experienced dorm life, made lifelong friends, and began my journey into adulthood. Two of my junior classmates were also awarded scholarships, and we commuted to and from my hometown of Mt. Vernon, Kentucky, on the weekends. These two classmates are still very dear friends. My most memorable class was Death and Dying, an elective I chose, as I thought it would be beneficial in my anticipated career of medicine. This class was very unique and educational as we studied the stages of death and the grieving process. I will never forget the assignment to design and make my own casket. While at Cumberland I received numerous awards and recognitions that include being named to the J. T. Vallandingham Honor Society; receiving the chemistry award; and being selected for Who’s Who Among American Colleges and Universities. Dr. Ann Hoffelder was my favorite professor, advisor and friend. She cared about her students, monitored their progress and kept them on track to meet their academic goals. Dr. Hoffelder guided me through the pre-med curriculum and was there to share my joy and success when I received my acceptance letter to the University of Louisville School of Medicine. She was a great asset to the college. I graduated from the University of Louisville School of Medicine

in 1984 and entered the field of internal medicine and pediatrics through a residency program at the University of Kentucky. In 1988, after completing my residency, I began private practice in Danville, KY, and eventually moved back to my hometown of Mt. Vernon, KY, to become the medical director of a large hospital respiratory unit, where I still practice today. Throughout my career, I have served as Chair of the Credentialing Committee, Rockcastle County Medical Staff; as Chair of the Performance Improvement Committee, Rockcastle County Hospital; Medical Director of Respirator Care, Rockcastle County Hospital; as a member of the Rockcastle County Board of Health; as advisory physician, Rockcastle County Child Fatality Team and Sexual Abuse Team; and I also serve on the Advisory Committee for the Rockcastle County Vocational School Practical Nursing Program. In addition, I serve as a certified volunteer for breast cancer patients at Reach to Recovery. I contribute my success to hard work, endurance, perseverance, dedication, and commitment to a lifelong dream, which has been well worth the effort. My hobbies and other interests include interior decorating; tennis; golf; being the #1 fan at all of daughter’s athletic events; working with students; serving as a voluntary faculty member for the University of Kentucky and as a preceptor for medical students Today, I believe that Cumberland College is better than ever. There are so many more buildings and the campus is even more beautiful. I am proud to be a part of the Cumberland College heritage. My hopes and dreams for Cumberland are for the college to continue providing deserving students with scholarships, to help make their dreams true, just as the college had done for me. (Dr. Kimberly Cornelius ’80, resides in Mt. Vernon, KY, with her husband, Douglas, and their daughter Meagan.)

And the Emmy Goes to ... Lynn Singleton

he National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences recently awarded an Emmy award to James L. “Lynn” Singleton (’70), in the “Best Art Direction for a Variety or Music Program” category, for his role as associate producer of the Tony Award nominated stage version of “Peter Pan.” Singleton states that his successful career is based on his early experiences in higher educaMr. Singleton tion at Cumberland College and Rhode Island College. Upon his graduation from Cumberland College in 1970, he became the first director of the Boswell Campus Center. He completed a M.A. degree at Union College in 1972 and in 1975 relocated to Rhode Island College in Providence, RI where his management responsibilities included the extracurricular event schedule and

campus auxiliary operations of the student union, faculty dining center, field house, and the performing arts center. His next position was executive director of the Monroe (LA) Civic Center, a public assembly facility that includes a 10,000-seat arena, a 2,300-seat performing arts center, and a 30,000 square foot exhibition/conference hall with full kitchen facilities. During his tenure at this 23-acre complex, revenues increased by 150% while total event days doubled. In 1983, Singleton began as president of the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) in Providence, RI, where he successfully reversed the theatre’s financial situation from near bankruptcy. Since 1984, PPAC has been considered as one of the most successful, not-for-profit theatres in North America. Under Singleton’s direction, attendance at PPAC has increased from 57,000 in 1983 to nearly 400,000 this year, and the number of events have tripled, resulting in PPAC being voted by Lynn Singleton, continued on p. 7

AlumniSPOTLIGHT Jerry Rickett ’72

y favorite professor at Cumberland College was Virginia Lovett. Mrs. Lovett worked with me to develop skills in my weakest subject, English. She was a constant source of encouragement throughout my four years at Cumberland. Chuck Dupier’s Economic Geography was my favorite class. That class inspired me to develop methods to improve the economics of the geography in East Kentucky. Mr. Rickett I have been involved in economic development since graduating from Cumberland College in 1972. After graduate school in 1973, I worked for the Kentucky River Area Development District in Hazard, KY, as a physical planner for four years. From 1978 through 1985, I was the chief physical planner for the Cumberland Valley Area Development District in London, KY. In late 1985, I joined Kentucky Highlands Investment Corporation as Marketing Manager. In 1988, I was elected President and CEO and still serve in that position. Kentucky Highlands has been recognized as one of the nation’s leading rural economic development organizations. My hobby is building things and construction projects including building a house with my daughter who was twelve years old at the time. The knowledge I gained from this hobby has served me well in my career at Kentucky Highlands because it is involved in various construction and industrial development projects. I’m very involved in church and family activities including active involvement in the education of my two children. My primary interest is improving economic opportunity in Southeastern Kentucky. Throughout my career, I have served with various civic and community organizations including the Corbin Planning Commission, the Tri-County Industrial Development Commission, the Southern Kentucky Tourism Association, the Corbin City Schools PTA Lynn Singleton, continued from p. 6 Performance magazine as the top 3,000 seat theatre in the nation in 1985 and 1987. Lynn initiated and completed PPAC’s $8 million stage expansion and $5 million historically accurate restoration of the Grand Lobby, Arcade, Auditorium, and electronic marquee/vertical sign. The improvements to the facility allowed the presentation of blockbuster shows such as The Phantom of the Opera, Miss Siagon, Showboat, and Disney’s Beauty & the Beast. In recognition, Lynn became the first recipient of the City of Providence Renaissance Award for Highest Achievement in the Arts. As associate producer of Peter Pan with Cathy Rigby, Lynn was nominated for a 1999 Tony Award in the “Best Revival of a Musical” category. Singleton’s civic involvement includes service on the executive committee of the League of American Theatres and Producers and is a voting member for the “Tony Awards.” In addition, he serves as chairman, Providence Film Commission; Board of Directors, Downcity Merchants Association; director, Rhode Island College

(including serving as its President), the Corbin High School Sitebased Council, Leadership Tri-County, Leadership Kentucky, and the Advisory committees for the Cincinnati Federal Home Loan Bank and the Small Business Administration One Stop Capital Shop. I have been fortunate to receive several awards and honors. The most notable was the 1996 Governor’s Economic Development Leadership Award. I am invited to speak at many conferences, including being invited to the White House to share the podium with the President and Vice President. I have had the opportunity to serve on several task forces at the local, regional, state and national levels. I also served on a committee to develop recommendations on how to best create and manage a Kentucky venture capital fund. Success in career can be attributed to surrounding oneself with competent people who have a strong sense of right or wrong and a desire to serve others. The Board of Directors at Kentucky Highlands has been very supportive of me and other Kentucky Highlands staff and given us flexibility to try new things. Two members of the Kentucky Highlands Board of Directors are on the faculty at Cumberland. Jane Carter and Richard Foley are committed board members who take an active role in the direction of the organization. The staff at Kentucky Highlands, which includes four Cumberland College graduates, constantly makes the company look good because of their talent, hard work and commitment. My favorite memory of Cumberland College was meeting Elaine Taylor in Mrs. Helvey’s history class. Elaine and I have been married almost 28 years and have two wonderful children, Todd and Shannon. My impression of Cumberland today is WOW! Driving through the campus today is a visual treat. The improvements that have been made to the campus rival any college campus. The students receive a top quality education at Cumberland College. I hope that the college will continue its mission of training Eastern Kentucky students to meet tomorrow’s challenges as it continues to compete for quality students.

AlumniSPOTLIGHT Lawana M. Scoville ’72

y first trip to Cumberland College was when I was 12 years old. I came for the Southeastern Kentucky Regional Science Fair. The grand prize was the college scholarship that Cumberland provided to the Grand Champion. Determination followed. During the next three years I attended three International Science Fair competitions. I also traveled to Detroit, San Ms. Scoville Francisco, and Fort Worth winning fourth place one year. These years filled my life with many honors. Seventeen magazine picked me as one of the seventeen girls to model for their outstanding teenager’s edition in 1969. I was Miss Southeastern Kentucky and Mountain Laurel Princess. However, the biggest prize was collecting enough scholarships to provide a free education at Cumberland College where I graduated Summa Cum Laude in three years. I have never forgotten Cumberland’s impact on me as a young person. Talking to the professors there during science fair interviews gave me confidence. I realized that in spite of my mountain dialect I could converse with highly educated people. Norman Cox was the director of the fair when I was in high school. He was always special to me because of the kindness he showed and the leadership he provided. Later he was my teacher at Cumberland where he continued to be one of my favorite people. While I was at Cumberland and in later years, Dr. Ann Hoffelder also inspired me to be the best that I could be. Her leadership as a sci-

entist stands out to me. She was also a wonderful role model for young female students interested in the sciences. She touched many students in her years as a professor there. She, too, was one of my favorite teachers. In later years, Ann assisted me in my endeavor to respond to my nomination for the Presidential Award in Science Teaching. The first year I was selected among the top three. The second year the “prize” was mine and I was on my way to Washington DC to receive the 1989 Presidential Award for Science Teaching. That same year World Book Encyclopedia chose me as the World Book Science Teacher of the Year. By 1990, with the recommendation of Dr. Jim Taylor, president of Cumberland College, I was invited to apply for the Selby Chair for Academic Enrichment. The Selby Foundation did a national search for a teacher to live in Sarasota, Florida, to work with and inspire the children and teachers in the area of science. I was offered the position and we moved to Sarasota for a year where I successfully fulfilled my goal. I hope that Cumberland College continues to affect the lives of young people as it did mine. My success in the beginning is attributed to the gentle hands of so many people nudging me into the academic world. Cumberland College helped me in the difficult beginning. Once I made the big step into the academic community, education, hard work, determination, self-confidence, and persistence accomplished success for my family and I.

Dr. Don R. Stephens ’54 — 40 Years of Medical Service

fter 40 years of tending to the medical needs of Harrison County, KY, residents, it would be understandable if Dr. Don Stephens decided to call it quits. But Stephens shows no signs of slowing down. “That’s not in my agenda,” he said in an interview earlier this year. “I’m a workaholic.” Stephens grew up in Williamsburg, KY. As a result of a bicycle accident while he was in the Dr. Stephens fifth grade, he was required to see a doctor every other day for six weeks. During that time, Stephens said he was fascinated with watching his doctor work and decided that one day, he too would devote his life to making others well. He later participated in the pre-med program at Cumberland College and upon his graduation in 1954 enrolled at the University of Kentucky. Stephens completed his studies at UK in 1956 and went on to attend the University of Louisville, where he received his medical degree in 1960. Following an internship at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Dayton, OH, Stephens joined with a friend from medical school and began a family medical practice in Cynthiana, KY. Stephens was later drafted during the Vietnam War, serving one year in Vietnam and one year at Ft. Bragg, NC. When Stephens’ military service was over, he returned to Cynthiana and continued his practice. Throughout his 40-year career, Stephens has delivered 2,358 babies, though he quit practicing obstetrics eight years ago. “That’s the most

fun I’ve had; it’s a self gratifying thing,” he commented. Dr. Stephens pointed out that before the days of specialists, family doctors took care of every aspect of their patients’ health care. Stephens enjoyed being able to treat patients with varying problems. While health insurance practices and technological medical advances have changed the way small-town doctors practice medicine, Stephens is pleased that he and his patients still have a special doctor/patient relationship. “Some patients have been with me since ’61,” noted Stephens. “It feels good to know that they have entrusted me with their medical lives for all these years.” Over the years, Stephens has served as the president of the Harrison County (KY) Medical Society, has been a delegate to the Kentucky Medical Association for 24 years (serving on the Board of Trustees for 12 years and as chairman for two years), was president of the Kentucky Medical Association, and is both a charter and lifetime member of the American Academy of Family Physicians. In addition to his duties as a physician, Stephens is in his sixth term as a member of the Harrison County Board of Education. “Education of the children of this community has always been important to me,” he said. Through his many years of service to his community, Stephens affirmed that his greatest accomplishment has been “to raise a family that has been successful”. Stephens and his wife, Sonia, are the parents of five children. At this point, Stephens has no plans for retirement. His plans are to continue providing medical services to his patients as long as he is physically able to do so.

Alumni Athletic Hall of Fame The 1985-’86 Men’s Basketball Team

he 1985-’86 men’s basketball team will be remembered as one of the best in the history of the college. In that season, they achieved something that no other Cumberland team sport has been able to do: rise to the top of the national rankings and be seeded number one in the national tournament. They did it with a tenacious defense, giving up only 58 points a game to the opponent’s offense. The team went undefeated in the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (KIAC) and undefeated on their home floor in the old Gatliff Gym. They also won two regular season tournament titles. And, in the days before at large bids to the national championships, they won the KIAC tournament and the District 32 tournament to claim a spot in the national championship. This team rose to the top of the national rankings late in the regular season and held the #1 ranking until they were upset 70-68 on the road at Lincoln Memorial University in the last game of the season. In the final top 20 ranking, Cumberland would finish second. But, when they won the District 32 Tournament and the nation’s top ranked team was upset, Cumberland was given the top seed in the NAIA National Tournament. After a 74-40 win in the opening round, over Southern Colorado, the season would end with a disappointing 59-46 loss in the second round to the College of Charleston. During that magical season the 1985-’86 team became one of only five Cumberland teams to win 30 or more games in a single season going 32-3.

CC Student Honored for “Good Works”

he American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) has recognized Cumberland senior, Elisha Morris, of Bonnyman, KY, as a member of their 2001 Good Works Team. The AFCA honors players for their dedication and commitment to community service. Morris, a tight end for the Cumberland Patriots football team, has been involved in numerous activities off the field. He has worked with the DARE program for seven years, served as a day Elisha Morris camp counselor, and served as a role model for a younger child. He has assisted with the local Salvation Army special functions and has served as a bell ringer at Christmas. Morris is also actively involved in Cumberland’s chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). In addition, Morris has volunteered with Cumberland’s Mountain Outreach house building program and more recently served as a summer missionary in Mongolia. In a recent press release, AFCA Executive Director Grant Teaff was quoted as saying; “It says a lot about the character of these young men that they can find the time to devote themselves to the community. It is our pleasure to honor these student athletes for all they have accomplished.” Morris was nominated for this award by Cumberland’s Sports Information Department. Award candidates must display sincere concern and reliability, while also having made a favorable impression on the organizations with which they were

involved. Morris was the only NAIA athlete to receive this prestigious award. Cumberland Head Football Coach, Chuck King commented, “This award was so richly deserved. Elisha is a young man who is trying to do things right. He gives up his precious free time to help others in numerous venues. It’s nice to see that people do notice the important things in life. It’s also nice to know that students at small colleges can receive recognition for what they do,” stated King. “This is only one of many awards Elisha will receive in his life, and the Lord will take care of him.”

PHI ALPHA THETA CLAIMS #24

umberland’s Upsilon-Upsilon chapter of Phi Alpha Theta has been named the best chapter in the nation for the 2000-2001 school year (for schools with an enrollment up to 3,000 students). The international honor society at Cumberland has won outright or has shared this honor 24 out of the last 25 years. Phi Alpha Theta sponsors lecture series, historical trips, papers at regional and national conferences, fundraisers, a journal and various other activities. The requirements for the society are at least four courses in history with better than a 3.0 grade point average (GPA), both in history and overall. (Dr. Eric Wake ’65, professor of history and chair of the department, is the faculty sponsor for Phi Alpha Theta. Wake has served on the faculty since 1967. He holds the B.A. from Cumberland College, a M.A. and a Ph.D. from Texas Christian University.)

Self Help Through Workstudy Providing Students with an Affordable Educational Experience

hen you were a student, do you remember your workstudy job — working in an office on campus, mopping the floors, shelving library books, or assisting with the daily maintenance or food service needs? Do you know that workstudy still plays a vital role in the operation of Cumberland College? Founded in 1889 on the belief that the privilege of a college education should be based upon motivation, ability, character and purpose, rather than upon the amount of money a student or his or her family might have, the self-help feature has been an integral part of the college’s offerings. The workstudy program at Cumberland not only provides a means for a student to meet the financial challenges of attending college, it also affords opportunities to develop qualities of self-reliance, dependability, promptness and initiative. Self-help opportunities are afforded to over six hundred students who work an average of eleven hours per week under guidance and supervision. Continued employment and promotion depend on the student’s work performance. The workstudy program is made possible through special financial aid programs and the contributions of alumni and friends of the college. Your gift, no matter the size, is very important as we seek to provide students with an affordable educational experience. Please consider sending a gift today to help support the college’s workstudy program.

Athletic Department News 2001 Fall Sports Review Football It was a year of rebuilding as the college brought in a completely new football staff to help turn the football program around. As the new head coach, Chuck King’s background coincides with success, having been both a player and a coach at NCAA Division II powerhouse, Carson Newman College. The Patriots opened up their 2001 “One Heartbeat — Team United” campaign with a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm. Although the Patriots would finish their season with a 3-7 record, there were a lot of victories along the way. Many things happened throughout the season that were not reflected on the scoreboard or in the record books. The Patriots developed a new sense of pride, respect and integrity. These things helped establish a good foundation on which to build a successful program. When asked to comment on the season, Coach King said, “I am proud of these guys. We have a group of young men who have worked hard and implemented some big changes to this program. Each game we could see improvement.” The Patriots were competitive in 90% of their games, a step in the right direction to building a solid program. “We are excited about getting into the off season and continuing to build on the foundation that has been laid,” stated King. “Our goal is to build this program into the national contender that it should be.” Coach King and his staff are off on the recruiting trail trying to find the players for the option offense and to replace the 11 seniors who were lost to graduation. Although not the year most had hoped for, a glimmer of hope can be seen for an exciting future.

Men’s Soccer A tough schedule and injury set backs were two of the hardest obstacles to overcome for the men’s soccer team, but the Patriots prevailed. Along the way, the men would finish their regular season play 11-6 and go onto the Mid-South Conference tournament winning in the first round and losing in the second. Just when the team thought that their season was over, the Patriots learned that they had won a bid to the regional tournament due to their challenging schedule. The men would later lose in the first round of tournament play against the Union College Bulldogs. Nevertheless, the team finished with a winning record of 12-8. When asked to comment on the season in retrospect, head coach Rob Miller said, “I thought the season had its ups and downs. We played a challenging schedule, and it was difficult both mentally and physically. I feel like we were successful making the regionals for the second straight year. We have a strong senior class returning next year.” The men’s soccer team will return next season seeking improvement and longevity.

South Conference tournament where they finished the season with a 10-8-2 record. The young squad started to play as a team from the very beginning under new head coach Tim Wolz. The team had a three game win streak, before they hit rough waters and went on a five game losing streak. The losing streak did not ruin the team’s hopes as they then won 6 of their final 9 games losing two to #6 Union College and one to #15 Milligan College. The defense looked strong with three players being named to All-Conference teams; this was an astounding accomplishment considering only one of the defenders had previous varsity experience. One of the players earned the Academic All-Conference nomination as well as All-Conference Honorable Mention. Coach Wolz felt that the season was, “A season of development. We all had to get adjusted to each other as new players and coaches and a different style of play. We were a young team full of freshman and sophomores, and we are going to miss our three seniors.” Even though the Patriots did not earn a regional or a national tournament berth, the season was considered successful by many standards. With losing only three seniors to graduation this season, the region and national berths are sure to come in the future.

Volleyball New leadership has been a trend with Cumberland athletics this past year. New head coach Jon Campbell has hold of the reins and has taken the Cumberland volleyball program to new heights. The volleyball team’s challenging schedule was one that they were ready to face. And that’s exactly what they did. The volleyball team finished 29-7 in their regular season and continued with play in the Mid-South Conference Tournament. The Patriots won their first game with an impressive victory over Campbellsville, but were defeated by Georgetown in the second round of the tournament. With an outstanding record and such a hard schedule, the volleyball team received a bid to the regional tournament, the first in the school’s history. The team went ready to play but came out with a loss in the first round. Overall the team finished with a winning record of 30-9, the school’s best since the beginning of volleyball history. “I think we were very competitive this season. We had veteran leadership with playing experience, aided by the newcomers to the team,” said Coach Campbell. “Our schedule was very tough, and I was happy that we finished in the Top Five of the region. I am very proud of the girls and the way they played this season, and I am looking forward to next season with the newcomers. But I will miss the seniors who are graduating and the leadership that they gave to the team. I feel like we will have a strong team next year and hope to improve on the 2001 season.”

Women’s Soccer A new year, a new coach and a new winning tradition seemed to have started this season. The Patriots women’s soccer team played to a regular season record of 9-7-2. They then went on to the Mid-

Cross Country Since coach Floyd Stroud restarted the program ten years ago, his teams have been nationally ranked each year. The men’s cross-country

The Cumberland Campus

rofessor? It’s an odd title, really. A faculty member might be referred to as researcher, coordinator, facilitator, leader, sponsor, mentor, advisor, and scholar. Perhaps the best title would be teacher. Whatever they are called, professors spend countless hours preparing for class and grading stacks of papers and projects. At Cumberland, teaching is their first priority. In addition, they attend meetings, listen to any number of creative excuses from students, and experience countless encounters with anxious students seeking advice on a wide range of subjects or experiences. Why do they do it? Why teach? What is their reward? Cumberland Today asked several faculty members about why they teach at Cumberland College. In their stories you will find that they are motivated by extrinsic rewards — the things you can’t touch — intangibles. Fulfilling a sense of calling, interactions with students, a passion for their subjects, an opportunity to give something back, all of these are found among the reasons why these individuals teach at Cumberland.

Bruce Hicks It is now more important than ever to be able to educate our students about the politics of the world beyond our shores. Though I am pleased to see Cumberland dedicated to improving instruction in the subject area I teach, my motivation for entering teaching in the first place is more personal. A recent event reminded me of one of the reasons why I chose teaching as a profession. I attended my high school reunion in Jackson, MS, this past September. My high school senior year marked a historic turning point in the life of my high school. After years of resistance and delay, Jackson High became fully racially integrated. As I sat at a high school reunion banquet table following our evening meal and listened to our class president (who is black) describe with pride how our class successfully integrated, despite the fears and apprehensions of the community at large, I, too, felt proud of our achievement. That senior class reunion, and the memories of the high school experience that evening evoked, reminded me of the value of formal education and educational institutions in fostering social harmony and understanding. Of course, it is tempting for teachers, especially, to exaggerate the positive impact of education. I am not so naive as to expect all students to take full advantage of this educational opportunity, nor do I mean to dismiss the valuable contributions of families, churches, and other social institutions. Nevertheless, I have always admired the school’s attempt to make comprehensible to its students a complex, often troubling, world. Colleges like Cumberland, in the span of approximately four short years, afford students the opportunity to explore the world’s mysteries in an intellectually rigorous manner. It

is an invaluable opportunity young people are unlikely to have again. At Cumberland, we believe that the lives of our students can actually be enriched and improved by what they learn here. I know this to be true because I was fortunate to have known some exemplary teachers and role models. When I recall the dedication and integrity exhibited by former Cumberland teachers like Dr. Robert Palmer, Ms. Emma McPherson Dr. Hicks (Ms. Mac), and Mr. Milton Murphey, among others, I am humbled by their examples. So even as I am challenged by the extravagantly ambitious goals we have set before us, I am inspired by the legacy of some fine teachers that have come before me. Fortunately, Cumberland College is dedicated to this educational mission. I appreciate the opportunity to teach here because Cumberland is audacious enough to believe that, with effort and commitment on the part of teachers, administrators, and staff, students will leave here in four years more confident, thoughtful, and capable than when they arrived. There are no guarantees, however. These achievements require equal parts of both hard work and faith. Cumberland encourages hard work and strengthens faith, and that is why I like teaching here. (Dr. Bruce Hicks, associate professor of history and political science, served on the faculty from 1986-93, and returned in 1996. He holds the B.A. from Furman University; a M.Ed. from North Georgia College, and a Ph.D. from Emory University. Hicks received the Cumberland College Excellence in Teaching Award in 2001.)

E. Jane Carter My decision to teach at Cumberland College is grounded in my conviction that teaching, at least for me, is a calling. Since my family tree is thick with teachers and other servants, my “calling” was almost inevitable. My grandmother, Edna Kidd, for whom I am named, was a pioneer teacher, riding horseback and teaching any child who attended her one-room school in McCreary County, KY. She embodied the dedication, intellect, curiosity, discipline and compassion required to truly teach. She taught youngsters the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic, all the while teaching them about life. Specifically, a Christian life filled with encouragement, obedience and success. This is the kind of teacher I am allowed to be, rather than expected to be, at Cumberland College. Certainly I want to build a knowledge base in economics or generate lively discussion in marketing. And yes, it is gratifying when a creative notion surfaces after a brainstorm in advertising. But in the process, I want to build relationships with my students that allow us to address the more profound questions of life, questions of faith and discipline (or career). I believe such discussions inspire students to explore their value systems and grow in their faith. Such faith yields courage, serving to anchor in times of adversity and to propel forward when opportunities arise. There is a need for Christian men and women — guided by God, armed with knowledge, and committed to discerning His will for their lives — who are ready to enter business, industry, government, nonprofit sectors, the professions, and the ministry. It is the job of Christian higher education to free each and every student to challenge assumptions, develop intellect, and inspire a vision of what is possible in God’s will. Not all students are interested in such an experience, but many of our students are. Not all colleges foster a Christian perspective, but Cumberland’s mission mandates it. Not all teachers want to make this kind of personal investment, but I do. Why do I teach at Cumberland College? Because our students are such people and our college is such a place.

She has served as the development office manager and is currently the director of the Rollins Internship Program and the International Ms. Carter Studies Program.

Bob Hancock I’m a “flatlander” from the small high-plains town of Scottsbluff, NE. I grew up in a wonderful little boy’s environment with loving parents, lots of neighborhood friends and loads of outdoor activities. In addition to typical things like sports and bicycle riding, my friends and I dug holes, climbed trees and caught numerous wild animals. I also attended a great school with inspiring teachers and was a member of a big Boy Scout troop with an excellent scoutmaster. My childhood

interests in nature clearly set me on a path to becoming a biologist. Numerous role models have expertly guided my path during each phase of my education. An elementary school teacher made me feel special and unique, especially as a young naturalist. Many years later in a high school biology course, my teacher applauded my “creative” dissection of the frog as I cut open the stomach and identified its contents. These individuals and a variety of others made me feel like I had a special connection with nature. In addition to academics, I pursued other interests in college like sports and music. Most importantly, however, my first biology professor was the amazing Dr. Charles Anthony Springer! He was energetic, funny, approachable, knowledgeable, and to this day, the best classroom teacher I have ever seen. From his inspiration, by the end of that first semester, I clearly knew that small college biology teaching was my goal. Dr. Fred Mattes, my chemistry advisor, epitomized the “small college advantage.” He challenged me and held high standards (I earned a lot of Bs in his classes), but his door was always open. He also pushed what I call “extraordinary experiences” on his students such as independent research and presentations at conferences. I learned from my professors the value of travel and the value of knowledge and to Dr. Hancock not be afraid of experiencing new places, peoples, and ideas. In some cases I also learned how “not to teach.” Due to a combination of my childhood interests and the influence of Dr. Springer, I selected entomology (the study of insects) as my field of choice for graduate studies. Specifically, I wanted to study insects that impacted human health. During the 5 years that it took me to receive my Ph.D. from Ohio State University, I researched mosquito behavior, made several breakthroughs, wrote scientific papers and attended and presented at numerous scientific conferences and symposia. I also learned how to teach, first as an assistant, and later as a college Entomology instructor in a medium security prison. Having received the best graduate education imaginable for me, I left Ohio State in 1993 for Cumberland College. I was ready to “make my mark.” Throughout my life experience, I have learned that any human endeavor involving others is ultimately some balance of giving and receiving. I primarily teach because of what I received. I was greatly influenced, if not steered into teaching college because the most influential people in my life were talented teachers. I am trying to give something back. Each day I strive to reach my students in ways that these great teachers reached me. Another reason for my tendency to “give” is that I am

an enthusiastic and energetic extrovert who is driven to tell others about the fantastic natural world around us. Students can easily relate to living organisms as clearly defined entities. In a way, every day is essentially an advanced “show and tell.” I love it and I am getting better at it. On the other hand, I receive a lot from teaching. For instance, my life is enriched with a multitude of friends and acquaintances that enlighten me with their experiences, ideas and personalities. The Cumberland College campus is a special and “electric” place where motivated and optimistic people from a wide variety of backgrounds converge. It feels great to be a part of it. As I teach my students, I also continue my own education. I learn more and more every day. Thus, I receive every day. And finally, in both small ways and big ways, I feel valued by my students. This is a wonderful career! (Dr. Bob Hancock, associate professor of biology, has served on the faculty since 1993. He holds a B.A. from Hastings College, a M.S. and a Ph.D. from Ohio State University. He is the recipient of the Honored Professor Award in 1996 and was also selected for the Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1998. He was selected by Cumberland alumni as a Fuqua Excellence in Teaching award winner in 1999 and 2001.)

Norma B. Patrick As a young undergraduate student, I dreamed of someday working at the college level, supervising student teachers. Years later, Cumberland College made that dream become a reality. There have been so many memorable moments and cherished experiences here at Cumberland. During the summer of 1992, through the support of the College, I had the opportunity to teach at the University of Yantai in the People’s Republic of China. Then, in 1993, The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation awarded the college with grant monies to support the Cumberland College/Whitley County Mentoring Program. It was my privilege to serve as director of the mentoring program. I worked to facilitate the college students mentoring and supporting area middle school students. Now, several years later, I am thrilled when I see one of the students from the mentoring program walk across the Cumberland College campus, pursing their dreams as they are enrolled in undergraduate classes. Ms. Patrick In addition to the mentoring program and the Yantai experience, there are other significant reasons why I choose to teach at Cumberland College. I believe that Cumberland attracts a uniquely talented, value oriented student body. Our students are respectful of faculty and of one another, they are committed to leading lives of service and leadership, and they are absolutely fun to be with. These bright and talented students continually challenge me to be the best that I can be. Administration, faculty, and staff come to Cumberland College to build a life. Our College faculty isn’t transient, nor is there a high turnover in personnel. Cumberland College is a place where collegial relationships and friendships are made and Christian support is offered. In many ways, the Cumberland College personnel are like my extended family.

When I talk with folks who live in other areas, they frequently ask why I would choose to live in a small town in southeastern Kentucky. Cumberland College has provided a safe haven for my family and me, has encouraged me to grow professionally, and has given me opportunities that I never imagined. I wake every morning, anxious to spend my days at Cumberland College with caring, dedicated students and colleagues. I am truly blessed. (Norma Patrick, associate professor of education and director of student teaching, has served on the faculty since 1985. She holds both the B.A. and the M.A. from State University of New York at Cortland. She has pursued additional studies at Union College. Patrick received the Excellence in Teaching Award in 1995, was named Honored Professor in 1995 and 1997, and was selected by alumni to receive the Fuqua Excellence in Teaching Award in 1996 and 2000.)

Rayford Watts While there have been memorable moments and events in my years of teaching at the College, I find the greatest pleasure and reward in the everyday rhythms of life at Cumberland. I find comfort in walking up Walnut Street toward the Bennett Building (the old Gray Brick Building) and the certainty of Dr. Pilant’s voice descending from room 225, in Faye Partin’s morning walk down the hallway to get water for history coffee, Mr. Watts in the bewilderment of a freshman looking for a hidden faculty office, and in the peculiarities of the latch on the door I enter each morning. The reliability of these images, and scores of others, reassure me that I am in a place where a kind of ritual in teaching and learning and community building takes place each day. The greatest source of inspiration I find among my colleagues in the English Department as they go about their daily routines of planning, advising, grading, and performing a host of other duties that come their way. Their steadfastness and commitment to everydayness leads students by slow degree to value work, to commit to serving others, and to know personal responsibility. Routine has its enemies these days, and those of us who teach are familiar with them. But those professors who came before us knew them as well, and they had their rituals for dealing with them. Ms. Bess, Ms. Thomas, Dr. Nell Moore, Dr. Val, and Ms. Mac understood that routine and daily, incremental expectations from their students and from themselves accumulated into knowledge and character and a sense of responsibility that transcends self. The successes of their students confirmed and reinforced their methodology: They knew if faculty and students worked hard and made sacrifices, results were predictable. These connections with the past and the present provide a consistency that has been a distinguishing quality of our college, and the many bright younger scholars have who have joined the faculty in recent years give every indication of carrying forth the Cumberland tradition. (Rayford Watts, ’63, professor and chair of the English department, has served on the faculty since 1963. He holds the B.S. degree from Cumberland College and a M.A. from Union College. He has pursued additional studies at Union College and the University of Tennessee.)

Cumberland Around the World International Studies Program By E. Jane Carter, associate professor of business administration & director of international studies

“I

t’s a small world after all,” or so they say. Perhaps this is one reason why Cumberland College has been offering students’ opportunities to travel and study in London, England, and Beijing, China, for the past eleven years. More recently, the College joined the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU), which expands potential destinations to include, among others, Latin America and Russia. Students may take advantage of international mission/service programs through various denominational agencies or explore an investigative course in the Bahamas offered bi-annually by the biology department. These options Students visiting The Great Wall of China create a small array from which to choose. Because experience is the best teacher, the demand for international programs has increased on most campuses, and Cumberland College is no exception. Students are involved in courses that take advantage of international settings: utilizing the churches, museums, gardens, libraries, historic structures, zoos, or laboratories, as their classrooms. Faculty members also take advantage of these opportunities. Dr. Bob Hancock, Dr. Tom Frazier and Dr. Jonathan Ramey have played vital roles in leading students to study in London through Cumberland’s London Summer program, offering courses in biology, English and mathematics, respectively. The summer program is one of the most successful programs offered at Cumberland, perhaps because The Terracotta Soldiers — a popular site in Xian, China it is cost effective and appears to pose relatively little language barrier. In fact, over the past decade no less than 100 students and 10 faculty members have been involved in taking “Cumberland Around the World.” Cumberland in China is a program that offers students the option of traveling to Beijing for intensive study of eleStudents sightseeing in the Forbidden City mentary Chinese, Tai Chi (basic martial arts), and Chinese history and culture. This dual-purpose program allows Christian students and teachers to engage simultaneously in lifestyle evangelism and foreign language study. There is no doubt that the international experience is life changing, just ask anyone, faculty or student, who has participated. But the fact is, the initial experience serves as a catalyst for a metamorphosis, the benefits of which accrue well into the future. The International Studies Program at Cumberland College is but one of the means available to globalize the curriculum and experience of faculty, staff and students, restructuring our world-view even as the world evolves at a rapid pace. The world is certainly not getting smaller, but the challenges to international studies programs are becoming easier to address.

Man, Movie Camera and Mosquito The Buzz About Specialized Filmmaking By Bob Hancock, associate professor of biology

n addition to becoming an expert on mosquitoes, during my graduate studies at Ohio State University, I also learned how to photograph mosquitoes and other very small living organisms. The equipment that is used for this task is specialized and the subjects need special care. For instance, filming live mosquitoes under high magnification takes a lot of bright light, which is very warm and, if you are not careful, can kill or at least alter the behavior of your subject. There are numerous other problems to face in this endeavor and the equipment expenses can become very high unless you are patient, creative and know where to shop. During the early 1990s, I slowly assembled a kit of used equipment consisting of camera bodies, lenses, lights and various accessories, which have enabled me to make brilliant images of my beloved mosquitoes on film. With my film kit complete and a couple of years of teaching at Cumberland under my belt, I was ready for a big filming project that would combine science and nature documentary-style entertainment. With funding from the Appalachian College Association, I filmed mosquitoes in ways that they have never been filmed before. In fact, through my experiences, I became one of the premier “mosquito cinematographers” in the world. Then, something great happened. When a documentary production company under contract for the Discovery Channel called one of my mosquito-colleagues, my name was mentioned as a great source of footage. Soon

An example of Hancock’s work

Hancock and a student on a filming expedition.

after this, the producer contacted me and my television documentary career was spawned. I have appeared on the Discovery Channel documentary “Deadly Bugs” as a mosquito-expert/filmmaker. And, as other producers watched this program and talked to my colleagues, I was recruited to participate in other productions including my role as the macrocinematographer for the hourlong Discovery Channel production “The Ultimate Vampire.” I also had the opportunity to become a footage source for the NBC Dateline segment “Reality Bites.” I am currently seeking other documentary projects and have a goal to produce my own programs. In a way, my nature documentary work is a grand-scale form of teaching: I now have another way to tell a very large audience about the things that excite me. (See related story, page 18)

T. J. Roberts Dining Hall Renovation and Remodeling

uilt in 1959, this 17,400 square foot building serves as the primary food service facility for the college, but it now lends itself to renovation and remodeling.

The renovation plans call for additional lighting, updated flooring and other amenities that will make the facility more accessible and more comfortable for dining. In addition, though clean and well kept, the antiquated kitchen equipment needs to be modernized, food storage equipment needs updating, and additional air conditioning must be provided for the food preparation area. These renovations are crucial as the college seeks to meet the food service needs of over 1,000 students eating three meals in this facility each day. Architects and contractors have estimated that the combined costs of the planned renovations will be approximately $500,000. Though quite a large sum, this cost is far less than the millions of dollars that would be necessary for the new construction of a similar facility. Gifts of wallpaper and wainscoting that have already been received will allow the college to do a great deal of eye-appeal improvements to the dining hall; however, there is still a need for funds to help with

Planned Giving Yes, a Will is Important

“T

he will is the most common estate planning tool for many Americans. A properly drafted will is a public document that should specifically describe how and to whom your assets will be transferred.” Sounds sort of dry and technical, doesn’t it? How about this: “Your will is an act of love.” Is this too far-fetched? Actually, in an important sense, your will is one of the most loving acts of your lifetime. With an up-to-date will, you demonstrate your caring and thoughtfulness to your survivors. No will or a poorly drafted will may do just the opposite: show a lack of concern about the needs of your loved ones. A closer look at how a will fits into the estate planning process illustrates just what a valuable document it is. Think of What You Own There are other ways to transfer your assets at death besides through a will. For example, maybe you hold joint title to your home with your spouse, or you have a bank account in another person’s name as well as yours. Assets like these will automatically pass to the co-owner at your death. Assets with beneficiary designations also have a predetermined recipient at your death. Life insurance proceeds and retirement plans are the most common examples of these assets that pass by contract. Trusts can also be created with stipulations as to who will receive the remainder of the trust’s assets after your lifetime. Assets that don’t automatically pass to a certain survivor are considered “probate property.” This property includes not only cash, stocks or other financial items, but also your furniture, your golf clubs-essentially, everything else you own. You’ll need a will to state whom you want to receive these items. If you don’t have a will, a probate court must decide that for you.

What Your Will Can Do A well-drawn will offers many benefits. Like a good suit of clothes, your will should be tailored to your exact specifications. You can give personal items and real property to loved ones. Plus, you can name alternate beneficiaries to receive the property should your loved ones not survive you. You can give the residue of your estate all to one person or organization, divide it among several beneficiaries or place it in trust for the benefit of your spouse or someone else. Your will allows you to designate the individual or trust institution you want to settle your estate (your executor or personal representative). You can grant specific powers to your executor (and also to the trustee, if you have created any trusts) to conserve and manage your estate under all foreseeable circumstances. Also, if you have minor children, you can name a guardian for them in case neither you nor your spouse survives. A Will Provides an Opportunity Having a current will allows you to determine who will receive what after you’re gone, but there’s another reason that a will is important: What you put in your will is what people will remember you by. Your will gives you the opportunity to transfer the values that are important to you. And one of the best ways to leave a legacy like this is to make charitable bequests in your will. A gift to Cumberland College through your will can help shape the future of our organization, and it’s free of federal estate tax. Many times, people find that a gift they thought they wouldn’t be able to donate outright becomes possible, after all, through a will. Plus, when you make a charitable bequest to Cumberland, it’s a fitting testimony of your belief in our mission. An Important Privilege The right to make a will that reflects your wishes is one you shouldn’t give away. Your will can help provide for the future security and happiness of those people and organizations, like Cumberland College, that you care about most. It reflects your hopes, ideals, compassion and judgment-in sum, your essential personality. By thoughtfully planning a will’s contents, you make sure that your love survives you.

An Undesirable Alternative If you haven’t taken the time to have your will drafted-and about half the adults in the United States have not-the law of your state has one ready for you. But the state’s will may not accomplish what you would want in your own.

Cumberland College Tribute Program Honor or Memorialize a Loved One What is a Tribute Gift?

How are Tribute Gifts acknowledged?

A Tribute Gift shows love and respect for the person being honored or memorialized. It says to others that the world is a better place because of this person. Through a Tribute Gift to Cumberland College, a memory of the past or an honor of the present is tied to the future, as it is made to live on in the lives of our students. The size of the gift you send is up to you. Many send the amount they would spend on floral arrangements. Gifts generally range from $15 to $1,000, but the right amount for you is the one your heart tells you to send. An Honor Gift is a gift which shows admiration and respect for a loved one or friend on a significant day in their life such as a birthday, anniversary, etc. A Memorial Gift is a gift in memory of a departed loved one or friend. It is a wonderful way to express sympathy and high regard or as a means to remember birthdays, anniversaries, or other special days of a deceased loved one.

For a Memorial Gift the family of the one you wish to memorialize is sent an appropriate card the same day the gift is received by the college. Then the name of the giver and the deceased will be listed in the next issue of Cumberland Today. For an Honor Gift the person being honored is sent an appropriate card listing the honor giver as well as the occasion for the honor. Then the name of the giver and the name of the honoree will be listed in the next issue of Cumberland Today. For all Tribute Gifts, the amount of the gift is kept confidential, and all gifts are tax deductible as allowed by law.

How will your Tribute Gift Help? Your gift will provide a lasting legacy for our students as it is used to help provide scholarship and workship assistance, books, supplies, food and housing, and many other supportive services.

Listings reflect Tribute Gifts received, May 17, 2001 through December 31, 2001. In preparing this list, every effort has been made to insure accuracy and completeness. If a mistake was made in the way you are identified or if your name was omitted, we apologize. You can help set the record straight. Please notify the President’s Office regarding any changes in the way your gift should be recorded in future reports. Thank you.
