Kermit ’63 and Twila Jean Beery ’59 Hainley's story of love and compassion began decades ago on campus, and continues to inspire others nearly 300 miles away.
When I see our new students enter campus through the Griffith Memorial Arch at the beginning of each academic year, I remember snippets of my own college days.
The first night in the residence hall of Southern State College, in Magnolia, Arkansas, I shivered in a cold room, not able to find a thermostat and not having packed a blanket. But morning came. My roommate moved in. We found the thermostat. Classes began. Friends, hard work, home sickness, professors and arduous assignments opened my world. During the next four years, I gathered eggs in a hen house, wrote essays, gave speeches, read Faulkner and Welty, saw plays, used the word “angst,” discovered deep faith, operated a centrifuge, fell in love, directed a play and threw a mean frisbee.
Like our students now, I learned through experience. A particular example stands out. During my junior and senior years, in the not highly sought after position of Associate of Baptist Students prayer breakfast chair, it was my job to do the grocery shopping each Thursday afternoon, then early each Friday to prepare the pancake batter, warm the syrup, and present a brief lesson on Christian faith. Though I did not know it at the time, that experience taught me a valuable lesson for family and professional life. Show people you love them if you expect them to listen to you. The better the pancakes, the better the lectures.
Many of us have memories of educational experiences that influence us well beyond graduation. I hope you enjoy this FindlayMag issue featuring a few of those captivating stories from UF.
Sincerely,
Katherine Fell, Ph.D. President

If you have questions or concerns about the medication you’ve been prescribed, one of the University of Findlay pharmacy students may end up providing the answers and solutions via its Telehealth Center.
The center opened in 2016 in an effort to provide a learning laboratory for students on campus, and to provide a place where didactic teachings could be applied directly to patients throughout the nation. The center, which contracts with pharmacies, uses video conferencing, telephone and online interactions to assist patients. Student interns and graduate assistants, working alongside pharmacists, provide one-on-one care that encompasses the assessment and evaluation of a patient’s complete medical status, including medication therapy regimen and disease state management.
By talking directly with patients, caregivers and providers, students gain valuable experience while positively impacting patients’ lives. Students identify possible side-effects or problems with medication regimens, troubleshoot existing problems, recommend different drug regimens if necessary, provide guidelines for preventing future medication issues, and offer tips for taking medication. Students are also able to aid the patients in understanding health care goals and how to achieve them.
Since the program was launched, disease-specific chronic care management and medication reconciliation were added as additional clinical programs.

University of Findlay Telehealth Center supervisors include Director Sothea Phon, Pharm.D. '11, Assistant Director Kathleen (Brown) Alt, Pharm.D.' 16, and Megan Conaway, Pharm.D.
Students can apply to work at the Telehealth Center beginning their freshman year. Assignments and responsibilities vary according to year, experience and classwork completed.
“So many patients don’t understand their medication. Sometimes, for one or more of their medications, they don’t know when they’re supposed to take it or what it’s even for,” said Libby Stabler, a fifth-year pharmacy student from Payne, Ohio who recently ranked fourth in the country out of thousands of competitors in a Rite Aid Corporation telehealth competition.
“In reviewing their telehealth cases, we look at each patient in a full health overview, not just their medication,” explained Stephani Busick, a fifth-year pharmacy student from Liberty Center, Ohio. “With that, we can educate them on why it’s important to follow the medication instructions and help them figure out why they may be having side effects.”
Columbia Gas of Ohio and the University of Findlay teamed up to offer the “Waste to Energy Education: Applications for Future Energy Leaders” program at local high schools. The 1-year program is made possible with a $45,000 grant from NiSource Charitable Foundation.

UF Alumni Couple Celebrates 50 Years of Helping Children and Families
By Jack Barger '01
he Hainleys' story of love and compassion began decades ago on campus, and continues to inspire others nearly 300 miles away.
When Twila Jean Beery Hainley ’59 looks back on her childhood, her heart is filled with memories of moving about from the boiler room to the third floor of then Findlay College’s Old Main building. Her father, Elza Logan Beery, was the very first graduate of Winebrenner Theological Seminary, established in 1942 as a graduate school of theology of Findlay College. Beery was an ordained minister for the Churches
of God Mission congregations, was an integral Findlay College fundraiser during World War II, and served on the college’s Board of Directors in the 1960s.
“I can just see my Dad's office near the stairs of the second floor (of Old Main) and the chapel nearby,” Twila Jean said. “I was so privileged to roam around back then!”
From the front window of her former house on Main Street—a house long replaced by a commercial building—she could see the Griffith Memorial Arch.
“We’ve been tied to this school for as long as I can remember,” she added. Twila Jean and her husband Kermit Hainley ’63, are members of a family that boasts many graduates of Findlay College.
The couple met at an Oilers football game, and have been virtually inseparable ever since. That connection, they said, the one that led them to meet and move through their education at Findlay College, is the same connection that guided them to start and eventually flourish with Eagle Village, the haven they founded some 50 years ago. They were able to take what they learned at college, build upon it and successfully create meaningful lives for numerous troubled children over the decades.
Eagle Village serves children with behavioral issues and their families. It began with a call from God to start a small group home for four boys in 1968, and has developed into a 75-bed residential facility.
Home. Family. Legacy. Check out the video about the Hainleys and Eagle Village at mag.findlay.edu/ it-takes-a-village
Hersey, Michigan is located in the northwest portion of the state’s “mitten” formation, near Cadillac. Eagle Village is set back off of the main road, and covers more than 600 acres of sprawling, thicklywooded ground. There’s little to no cell phone service, and upon first glance, the facility looks much like every other camp; there are cabins tucked back among the red pines, and crystal-clear swimming pools behind a small grassy hill. Red canoes dot the landscape around the lake. But there’s something different about this place.
Something, the Hainleys said, that starts with the heart. “We used to work mainly with delinquent children,” Twila explained.
“Today we have hurting children. Kids who have been neglected, abused, rejected. A lot of trauma. The situation has changed, but the way we handle it overall has not.”
“We handle it with more heart than head,” Kermit added.
Eagle Village serves children with behavioral issues and their families. It began with a call from God to start a small
group home for four boys in 1968, and has developed into a 75-bed residential facility.
The Hainleys retired from their fulltime positions in 1994, but remain involved by assisting other family members who operate Eagle Village, which serves those in need in many ways. Along with being a temporary home, the location also offers intervention camps for hurting families and children, a charter school that provides job skills and other necessary training, and an adoption program. Programs that teach resiliency are also offered to schools, organizations and athletic teams.
Ultimately, Eagle Village offers help and hope for the kids and families who find themselves desperate for both. One of the primary philosophies promoted is: their past does not have to determine their future.
Having just celebrated its 50th anniversary in early summer of 2018, the facility has much to be proud of.
If there is one thing that is immediately noticeable about the Hainleys, it’s that their excitement and eagerness to tell their story bubbles over at a nearly constant pace. A pride for both their alma mater and the life that came after is always right under the surface.
“We teach these kids that they reap what they sow,” said Twila, touching upon what the two call the “Seed Planting Principles.”
Developed by Kermit and based on Bible verses following “spiritual principles for relationships, family and friendships,” the principles, they say, are the foundation of all programs at Eagle Village.
“These are the kids, who, if they clean up their act, will actually be the outcast of their family,” Kermit explained. “The pattern continues until they come here.”
But many happy stories can be told as a result of the care families receive from Eagle Village.
“At our 50th anniversary celebration, a man who was one of the first Village
residents, and at the time, had extreme issues, surprised us with a visit to help us celebrate,” Twila said. “He’s now a millionaire entrepreneur.”
Another Eagle Village graduate “is now at college studying social work because she wants to help people like we helped her. Lots of success,” continued Twila.
Along with serving families in need, the Michigan endeavor is a multigenerational family affair too. From Twila’s parents volunteering early in the facility’s life, to Twila and Kermit’s children and now grandchildren—of which there are currently three on staff—the family continues to have a heart for families and children with behavioral issues.
The phenomenon of Hainley generations moving through their lives together, and their collective dedication to serving many of the community’s most vulnerable members, are attributes that started and were nurtured at Findlay College.
“Since I lived right there when I was young,” Twila explained, "the college was an anchor and active part of my life for 25 years.”
The span of roots and family members runs deep and long for the Hainleys at Findlay College. Family graduates of the institution date back to 1927. Twila’s mother graduated from Findlay in 1931. Both her and Kermit’s brothers studied and played football on the same team at the College. Twila’s father was honored by Findlay in 1981 as a Distinguished Alumnus, and the Hainleys themselves were both awarded the honor in 1986.
As Findlay College has become the University of Findlay and Eagle Village moves forward from its 50th year, meaningful lives continue to be guided
between the two institutions; the comparison is not lost on Twila.
“Our lives have certainly been meaningful to youth, staff and families as related to Eagle Village, and we are proud of today’s UF students,” she said. “They pursue a career path, but are still challenged to be an active part of their own community, blessing people who live there. To me, that all says meaningful living. Lots of folks who come through here say their lives began at Eagle Village. Ours together began at Findlay College.”
Eagle Village welcomes all contact and support, and continues to be committed to serving and equipping children and their families for success. For more information, visit Eaglevillage.org.

The polar bear sculpture was commissioned by renowned illustrator Greg Manchess and the Norman Rockwell Museum for an exhibition featuring works for Manchess' novel, "Above the Timberline." Dan Chudzinski's work, comprised of foam, epoxy, steel, mounting hardware and acrylic paint, is a life-sized rendering of "Grim," the lead polar bear in the story. Chudzinski's artistic interpretation was partly inspired by Marty, the Toledo Zoo's enormous male polar bear, whom Chudzinski felt "provoked the same imposing presence as Grim does in the book." The exhibition, taking place at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, will run through Feb. 24, 2019.
he disembodied head hung in a dark hallway. It was covered in jet-black fur and topped with tusks. Dan Chudzinski and his cousins, carrying flashlights, cautiously approached it. Shining the beams at the fierce monster, they screamed and ran. Uncle Mike was right – “The eyes will follow you!”
Chudzinski, the University of Findlay Mazza Museum curator, was raised on vivid tales such as “The Haunted Boar,” a treasured childhood memory from his visits to family in northern Michigan that still looms large. He now brings his own narratives to life with imaginative wit and artistic two- and three-dimensional masterpieces. Influenced by folklore, fantasy and the natural world, Chudzinski, who has deservedly earned a reputation as the consummate storyteller on campus, uses these talents to inspire a love of learning and curiosity about the unknown.
For Chudzinski, Uncle Mike’s scary stories were just the start of lifelong adventures. He has worked with animals at the Toledo Zoo and learned taxidermy, which was partly inspired by his uncle’s boar head. He studied marble carving in the same Italian valley where Michelangelo honed his craftsmanship. He has worked in Los Angeles, California for a special effects studio. For the past three summers, he has lived with the Tlingit clan in southeastern Alaska, learning their rich oral traditions and apprenticing under their master carvers.
“I travel the world looking for good stories,” Chudzinski said, particularly those tinged with imagination, and harboring magic. He emphasized he is “interested in that gray area, right between what we know for certain and what we don’t, and the possibilities that exist there."
“It’s OK that mythology and legend blend with the truth, because that’s heritage. History is the stone cold facts, but also the legends become part of the history too, and the folklore, and the tradition,” he said.
Lately, Chudzinski’s home studio has been housing proprietary work he is creating for Hollywood studios. He is developing a name for himself in the film industry, thanks in part to his earning the Stan Winston School of Character Arts’ 2018 Monster Making Contest grand prize. His mixedmedia sculpture, “The Ripper,” has hints of all of Chudzinski’s favorite movie creatures that the studio, under the direction of his idol, the late Stan Winston, developed, ranging from the dinosaurs in “Jurassic Park” to the Terminator.
At Mazza, some of Chudzinski’s creations are there too, hanging high overhead as “Bessie” the mythical Lake Erie monster, and throughout his backroom office adjacent to the Museum’s art vault, via the conjured “Vifflegriffe” and real crocodile hide, the latter of which is used to entice younger visitors to read “Peter Pan,” a classic tale that features a crocodile as Captain Hook’s nemesis. It’s the stories behind the artistic renderings, and the historical facts, that breathe life into an otherwise antiseptic informational encounter, says Chudzinski.
What, according to Chudzinski, makes a really good story? The following are what he believes are the necessary elements:
• Proper Timing. It contributes to the ambiance and the mood, sets aside everyday attributes, and removes the audience from the familiar for fuller immersion.
• Resonance. There must be something that most people can relate to and see a part of themselves in. That’s why people travel to historic places, Chudzinski said – “Because you’re there. It’s sacred ground. You have a reliquary of the event and that makes it even more poignant.”
• Credibility. “In order for the audience to accept it, there has to be elements of the familiar,” he said.
“Good art is storytelling,” Chudzinski pointed out. “It’s a form of visual communication that transcends language and cultural barriers.” Therefore, the Mazza Museum, he said, “is all about celebrating storytellers historically and continuing that tradition.”
With children, he hopes to draw the attention of the ambivalent student who otherwise doesn’t care. With adults, he’d like to remind them that their childhood dreams are always still percolating, and that it’s OK, if not fundamental, to be inquisitive. At the Mazza Museum, Chudzinski seeks to inspire curiosity and creativity in people of all ages.
“The literal translation in Latin for ‘curator’ means ‘to care for.’ I take that a step farther than just looking after the art that’s in the collection. It’s my goal to give you a reason to care for it,” he said, and to “be an advocate for other artists and other storytellers.”
“I travel the world looking for good stories,” Chudzinski said, particularly those tinged with imagination, and harboring magic.
Alumna’s globally-inspired life story is just getting started.

Katie Ahrns has a mantra that’s steering her life story: “Testify to love.”
The 2017 University of Findlay graduate’s current trajectory has her on the other side of the world, in Australia, where she is serving as a Catholic missionary for NET (National Evangelization Teams) Ministries.
“My mission is not to convince everyone around me to be a Catholic,” said Ahrns. “My mission is simply to journey with people, respect their views and opinions, listen and talk with them, and serve as a witness to love.”
Rockhampton, Queensland is, of course, a long way from her hometown of Fort Loramie, Ohio, where she grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, a loving family, a strong sense of spirituality, and a service-oriented mindset. As a child, she dressed the barn cats in baby doll clothes, and bottle-fed motherless kittens and piglets.
“I loved getting to look after animals because I’ve found in their dependence on humans, they show endless love to their owners,” Ahrns explained. “If I ever pursue a path working with animals, I hope to be able to work in an animal sanctuary or recovery space.”
Ahrns completed her four-year animal science degree in three years, thanks to her commitment to additional educational opportunities, such as College Credit Plus courses she took in high school to earn college credits early. But her professional goals remain in flux as she dedicates her young adult life to assisting others around the globe.
Her interest in international service learning was sparked by a high school mission trip to Haiti. From there, she became heavily involved in UF’s Oilers Serving Abroad (OSA) program, particularly its trips to the Dominican Republic, where students assist in projects ranging from environmental stewardship efforts to construction work for impoverished residents while exchanging cultural information with Dominican university students and children in orphanages.
“Courageously jumping right in with no expectations allowed me to keep an open mind and learn in any situation we encountered” during OSA, she maintained. “The absolute best part was meeting new people and forming relationships that are still dear to my heart today,” she said.
While curiosity, academic pursuits and generosity have distinguished her path, her faith has been the lynchpin to her unfolding life story, Ahrns asserted. A large part of her academic career at UF was her involvement in the Newman Club, a Catholic student organization, and volunteering with Saint Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Findlay. Her Newman Club leadership roles included serving as an officer and as president during her time on campus.
“Courageously jumping right in with no expectations allowed me to keep an open mind and learn in any situation we encountered” during OSA, she maintained.
Multiple scholarships also assisted Ahrns with earning her UF degree. She received the Desmond V. Buford "One World, One People, One Race" Memorial Endowment, Majors James A. and Joan E. Sayer Scholarship Endowment, Ken Walerius Student Involvement Scholarship and the International Education Study Abroad Scholarship. She also received the UF President’s Scholarship annually.
Through OSA, Ahrns said she “met new people, tried new things, and went places I had never been before. Each of these new experiences contributed to my personal growth and reflection while learning about who I am and who I’m meant to be.”
Serving others does not always go as planned, but Ahrns acknowledged that facing the unknown “is exciting.”
Never one to miss out on a feasible learning or cultural opportunity, Ahrns also served as a student leader for OSA; worked in UF’s Buford Center for Diversity and Service; was a resident assistant for two years; was a member of the honor society Aristos Eklektos; was a Read to Succeed mentor; studied abroad in Japan with the Kake cultural exchange program; volunteered in the community with the Service Ambassadors Program; and participated in off-campus local activities such as internships with the Hancock County Humane Society and a joint internship opportunity with the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation and United Way of Hancock County.
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Ahrns received the University’s Founders’ Daughter Award in 2017, which recognizes students who exemplify ideals of superior scholarship, leadership, service to others and personal integrity.
In Australia, she and four other missionaries visit three primary schools and one high school, where they assist with religious education classes, plan and lead youth groups, host community events, minister at daily and weekly masses, speak at school assemblies and remain as a constant presence to build relationships.
“We are ‘storytellers’ in the way we get to share our personal experiences with young people,” Ahrns said of her missionary work and that of others’. Ahrns believes she is “meant to be a missionary” her entire life, “not as someone who tries to force others to know Jesus, but as someone who is a living witness of authentic love every day to everyone I encounter,” she said. “I’ve experienced something beyond extraordinary, and I want to share it. I hope that I get to have many more encounters with people around the world to testify to love.”
“The word ‘Catholic’ is derived from ‘Kata Holis,’ which means that all are welcome,” said Ahrns. “My Catholic faith has allowed me to find purpose in life and meaning behind all things, often a greater meaning than what I can initially understand,” she continued.
Storytelling is also an inherent teaching method. Naturally, Ahrns said she would one day like to occupy a teaching role.
“After a time of learning and gaining experience, it is quite possible that I will return to school within the next few years. But for now, my heart is happy serving the world and learning and growing from the experiences I’m living as a volunteer,” said Ahrns.
As a missionary and volunteer, Ahrns is responsible for reaching a minimum fundraising goal. The sponsorship contributes to the cost of initial training, living, and serving.
You can also follow her missionary story by using NET Ministries Australia’s hashtag #LiveYourLifeOnPurpose.
Findlay was founded through a joint partnership between the Churches of God, General Conference and the City of Findlay with the goal of providing Christ-centered higher education to the community and Church of God members. Located in the number one micropolitan community in the United States, the City of Findlay in Northwest Ohio is rich with a robust job market and strong alumni network.

Dr. Smith was a professor of philosophy from 1979 until 2013, serving as director of the Philosophy Program for 33
years. In his classes he stressed the relevance of philosophy and the humanities for everyday life. He believed that the best college education involves an adequate grounding in the liberal arts. He considered it important for students to grapple with questions about ethics, the nature of reality and the meaning of life. A strong proponent of interdisciplinary studies, he challenged his students to approach problems with an open mind and to think critically and creatively. Mrs. Smith was a teacher in the Findlay City School system for over 20 years. With a master’s degree in consumer and health sciences, she taught students practical skills and knowledge for job preparation, parenting, nutrition, hygiene and time management. Her father was also a teacher, and all her life she advocated the importance of a well-rounded education for young people as they transition into adulthood.

privately funded scholarships that helped to make college a reality for me. Decades later, I still remember the joy and awe of opening those envelopes and learning that someone I had never met was helping to invest in my future.
At college, I was amazed at the variety of classes offered, and I truly loved learning most of the general education curriculum. Many of the classes explored topics previously unknown to me, and introduced me to a wealth of information about philosophy, debate, world history and cultures, and so many other subjects. While the deadlines for research papers weren’t always cherished, the subjects explored and in-depth knowledge acquired have shaped my life in multiple ways. Even geology – my least favorite undergraduate class – has come in handy during trips out west, having a very basic knowledge of the beautiful mountains and unusual rock formations. A trip to England was planned around exploring favorite authors from an English literature class.
I got involved in the campus scene right away, and I loved the activities and the leadership development skills that come from extracurricular activities. Working with other students to get a daily newspaper out on time, and rehearsing with others to take a very difficult piece of music and ultimately perform on stage singing beautiful 4-part harmony together prepares one well for working with others in any workplace.
When I reflect on my college experience, it really is no surprise that I ultimately chose a career in the field of advancement, where I have the opportunity to encourage people who love education and helping others to provide future students with an opportunity to open their minds, learn from and with others, and explore their dreams. It allows me to keep learning, too.
In gratitude,
Marcia Sloan Latta, Ed.D.

The demand for digital technology professionals is skyrocketing. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projections, there will be a 13 percent growth increase projection in this field, leading to 557,000 more well-paying jobs through 2026. Yet women in the United States are increasingly forsaking computer science careers. ComputerScience.org. predicts “the vast majority of computer science jobs will be pursued and filled by men.” Moreover, this trend has only increased since the 1990s, the website reported, noting, “There is a clear disconnect between the computer science industry and the message girls receive about their ability to succeed in tech organizations.”
These statistics are also reflected within the University of Findlay’s classrooms. During the 2017-2018 school year, only 13 percent of students enrolled in UF’s Computer Science Program at the undergraduate level were women, while 35 percent accounted for enrollment in the Master of Science in Applied Security and Analytics Program.
In response to the gender gap, the University applied for and received $150,000 to provide three $2,500 endowed scholarships annually to women pursuing computer science degrees.
Funding is provided by the Charlotte R. Schmidlapp Fund through Fifth Third Bank. The fund was established in 1908 in Cincinnati, Ohio by Jacob G. Schmidlapp in honor of his daughter who died in a car accident. Schmidlapp founded Union Savings and Trust, which later merged into what is now Fifth Third Bancorp, Philanthropy Ohio. He instructed the fund’s trustees to make grants that would aid women to establish themselves in life.
Today, the Charlotte R. Schmidlapp Fund is the largest fund in the country dedicated exclusively to the needs of women and girls.
The first three University of Findlay Schmidlapp Computer Science Scholarship recipients are Jacqueline Nobora, a senior from Eastlake, Ohio; Morgen Long, a junior from Findlay, Ohio; and Lillian Siefker, a freshman from Ottawa, Ohio.
Nobora, Long and Siefker will also benefit beyond the much-needed funding that will help them pay tuition. They will also interact with Choose Ohio First (COF) Scholars, who are state scholarship recipients pursuing science, technology, engineering, math and medicine degrees. These collaborations “will keep them engaged with professionals through mentoring,
professional meetings and guest speaker opportunities,” said Mary Jo Geise, Ph.D., computer science professor and cochair of the Computer Science Program. “As their major project, they will work with the COF Scholars to develop an Hour of Code program for the Marathon IT Explorer group in April, and present on their preparation experience at UF’s annual Symposium for Scholarship and Creativity.”
Scholarship winners will also become involved in the Association for Computing Machinery – Women, a group established between industry professionals and faculty at UF, Bowling Green State University and University of Toledo; and will attend the Ohio Celebration of Women in Computing 2019 conference, a biannual event that gives young women the opportunity to explore internet technology careers, network with others, and meet potential mentors thanks to women leaders from business, industry and academia.
Geise said the University of Findlay is excited to offer women such substantial computer science scholarships that will enable them to land valuable, lucrative jobs in this dynamic, fast-paced professional field.
Findlay’s computer science courses offer lessons in objectoriented programming languages, client-server applications development and data communication.
Without exceptionally generous outside donors, University of Findlay students would have a much more difficult time being able to afford degrees that allow them to pursue lives and careers of service and fulfillment, and the University itself would have a harder time providing the top-notch education that distinguishes this institution. Contributing to that generosity are faculty and staff contributions that also make a big difference in students’ academic lives.
Each year, the 100% Oilers employee giving campaign asks University of Findlay faculty and staff to pitch in with financial assistance, of any amount they choose, for whatever UF-related area they feel merits their money. Faculty and staff, like anyone else, can therefore donate to a scholarship fund, student organization, the Mazza Museum Fund, the Business Affiliates Scholarship program, and so much more.
The campaign is meant to encourage employees to pause and consider the impact that their time, expertise and financial resources have on students and on the campus’ day-
to-day operations. It’s also an opportunity for the campus community to cohesively reaffirm and uphold the university’s educational mission.
The fiscal year 2018 100% Oilers campaign ended up being a particularly successful one. According to Kelly M. Warner, director of annual giving for UF’s Advancement Office, faculty and staff gave back a whopping $196,000. Out of the University’s 15 departments, eight had 100 percent campaign participation.
Overall, the campaign “secured 86.7 percent participation from employees, which is an all-time record,” said Warner. Two years ago, the effort had an 80.5 percent participation rate.
service projects, the value of lifelong giving is emphasized right from the start at the University of Findlay. That focus now extends to the award-winning and increasingly popular Graduating Class Philanthropy Honor Cord Program. Beginning with the Class of 2016, it was created to enhance the annual graduating class gift effort. The program includes financial, educational and service components that engage students in selfless service and set the stage for future philanthropic endeavors.
To earn a green cord for donning at commencement, each student must make a donation in the amount of their class year ($20.18 for this year) or greater. The money is used to create a Findlay Forward Scholarship; this year, a basketball 3-point shooting contest among members of the University’s six colleges determined an incoming freshman in the College of Pharmacy was to be the scholarship recipient.
Other program requirements are determined by each graduating class. For instance, attendance at educational events that focus on philanthropic community impact, and volunteering for various organizations on and off campus have been required.
When the program was launched, the Independent College Advancement Association conferred upon UF its
or teams that have developed innovative programs, tools and systems,” and recognizes best practices in the higher education advancement field.
On Nov. 14, Taylor Brubaker ’18 received the Outstanding Young Philanthropy Award from the Association of Fundraising Professionals of Northwest Ohio Chapter. She earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy while leading the Graduating Class Philanthropy Honor Cord Program committee.
The program’s growing success is evidenced by this year’s statistics. According to Kelly Anderson, director of annual giving, 202 financial gifts were received as of spring 2018 commencement, up from 147 in 2017 and 106 in 2016. Overall senior contributions for undergraduates and graduate students totaled just over $4,200. Those who proudly wore philanthropy cords at the May commencement ceremony totaled 186.
Other University of Findlay giving efforts geared toward student participation, such as Oilers Serving Abroad, Dance Marathon and Habitat for Humanity campus chapter provide continuous ways for students to help others throughout their academic career.
Shafer Library’s story has been shared within the line of volunteers who transported books from their previous home in Old Main, within its stacks featuring tomes about subjects ranging from women’s suffrage to organic chemistry, and between workers who make it possible for others to shape narratives and convey knowledge.
And yet, as digital communication increases, many of us now tend to take the library for granted. After all, there is not as frequent of a physiological connection forged between person and paper as there used to be when, say, the library’s card catalog in multiple narrow drawers and books arranged by the Dewey Decimal System were the only ways to find sources. Contrasted with today, scholarly information can be accessed with a phone from any location in the world via Shafer’s website. Books and articles are electronically read,
or books not in Shafer’s stacks are borrowed from other institutions in the state and delivered to campus in three days or less.
Then what, you may wonder, does the present and future look like for Shafer Library?
According to University Librarian Andrew Whitis, the library may be more important to us now than it has ever been.
Here’s why:
First, as digital theory scholars will attest, accessibility is a key component to meaning making. For the UF community involved in studies, research and general knowledge acquisition, Shafer provides the information-finding means, both online and in person. Need to find out about the
prevalence of mental disorders among those within the juvenile justice system? Want to better understand the affect that Alex Jones’ Sandy Hook conspiracy theories have on the families of the deceased? Shafer Library will help you find what you need in those regards.
Second, (speaking of conspiracy theories), Whitis added that another essential duty of librarians is to help people separate fact from fiction, to effectively evaluate sources, and to critically consider the information they’re receiving. Shafer Library staffers can help you determine how to “validate if information is correct or incorrect,” and how to understand the difference between fact and truth. Digital dissemination has served to improve open access to information, which has also provided a much larger portal for opinions that pose as facts.
Within UF’s “Principles of Speech” introductory course, the library orientation curriculum is changing to focus more on source evaluating, Whitis said.
And, of course, Shafer Library still has operational costs, which people also tend to forget about. “Access to information
has changed a lot, but it’s never free,” Whitis pointed out. From a tangible standpoint, Whitis maintains Shafer Library will always occupy physical space, regardless of digital discourse proliferation. It will house infrastructure to support digital access, and workers to manage and provide information; it isn’t called “library science” for nothing.
Today, Shafer also has many services that require physical presence, such as its One Button Studios that enable people to record video and audio, and 3-D printers that students and instructors use for hands-on learning with the help of Information Technology Services staff. In a past-meets-present moment, Class of 1968 members, whose commencement ceremony was held at Shafer, learned of these amenities during a 2018 Homecoming and Family Weekend tour.
Despite the passage of time, however, the library is, and always will be, “the common area where people across disciplines can work and share knowledge,” Whitis said.

Dear Alumni and Friends,
As I look back on my college experience at the University of Findlay, I have many fond memories. Athletics occupied a large part of my college years, but that wasn’t the only aspect that made the University of Findlay special.
The transition from Hollywood, Florida to Findlay, Ohio was a real shock. The region is sandwiched between the spring break capital of Ft. Lauderdale to the north and trendy Miami to the south, which meant there was plenty of action, adventure, as well as trouble all around, especially during the 1980s. The fast living, money and women depicted by the hit show “Miami Vice” was accurate about South Florida. Thankfully, I had a great family who kept me in line, particularly my aunts, mother and grandmother.
I generally have a balanced, but reserved demeanor. Therefore, at times when I struggled with homesickness or other issues while at UF, I never shared them too often. Yet people still cared.
What made Findlay special was not so much our success in athletics but the people with whom I forged lasting personal connections. Yes, everyone knows I had a great coach, coaching staff and team, all of whom I still keep in touch with. But the individuals who really made a difference were former UF Trustee Jerry Howard and his wife, Dona; Don Collins, my academic coach; and Coach Curtis Davidson. It is true that institutions need to have interactive programming and activities that develop students and get them involved, but what is most often overlooked is the establishing of personal connections.
Spending time with the Howards in their home after games was invaluable as I could not go home on the weekends like most of my teammates and their families could. Watching Jerry, an exemplary husband and father, and his wonderful wife Dona, whom I viewed as a mother figure, gave me the vision for what I wanted my family to be like later in life. Coach Davidson checked in constantly to ask about me and my family. Don Collins got on me constantly about my grades and the importance of my education.
For much of what I do today, personally and professionally, the foundation was laid at Findlay, which ensures that students always feel like they matter. That is exactly what each person that I mentioned did for me, and what made my time at Findlay special.
Go Oilers!
