Blessings abound at <strong>Union</strong><br />
Across the <strong>Union</strong> community during<br />
the fall semester of 2007, we have<br />
been giving thanksgiving to God for<br />
his blessings to <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> over the<br />
past 12 months. At the top of the list is<br />
the completion of White Hall, an amazing<br />
facility for teaching and<br />
research for biology, chemistry,<br />
and nursing. We experienced<br />
a record year in<br />
enrollment, in non-duplicating<br />
headcount, in number of<br />
donors, and in total gifts to<br />
the <strong>University</strong>. We are grateful<br />
for the new partnership<br />
with the Olford Center.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> received its highest<br />
ranking ever in the annual<br />
U. S.News & World Report listings.<br />
The <strong>University</strong> was also<br />
included among America’s 100 Best Buys,<br />
Princeton Review’s Best Colleges in the<br />
Southeast, Colleges of Distinction, and<br />
the President’s Honor Roll for colleges and<br />
universities devoted to community service.<br />
It has truly been a wonderful year!<br />
In this issue of the <strong>Union</strong>ite are photos<br />
and stories representing many of these<br />
accomplishments. We recognize that each<br />
of these markers are blessings of God and<br />
thus our campus-wide commitment to<br />
thanksgiving. We ask you to join with us<br />
as you read through the magazine.<br />
We are also thankful for the people of<br />
the <strong>Union</strong> community. <strong>Union</strong> is blessed<br />
with a wise Board of Trustees, generous<br />
donors, and loyal alumni who invest their<br />
time and resources in the work of this<br />
campus. The staff, faculty, and students<br />
of this <strong>University</strong> are special. These gifted<br />
and committed people are all working<br />
together, pulling in the same<br />
direction to advance a shared<br />
mission. Volunteers, advisers,<br />
and friends make a difference<br />
in the quality of work<br />
on a day-to-day basis. It is<br />
a joy beyond words to be a<br />
part of the <strong>Union</strong> family on<br />
a daily basis.<br />
We continue to move forward<br />
toward the completion<br />
of the <strong>Union</strong> 2010 plan.<br />
This vision for excellence<br />
calls for the ongoing development<br />
of the campus. At the forefront<br />
of the current plan is the development of<br />
a new women’s dorm and a beautiful new<br />
600-seat banquet facility. Numerous other<br />
campus renovations have the Jackson campus<br />
looking better than ever. We will also<br />
begin exploring ways to enhance the work<br />
of the Germantown campus.<br />
For God’s blessings to <strong>Union</strong> in recent<br />
days, many of which are represented in this<br />
issue, we offer our thanksgiving to God<br />
and invite you to join us in a spirit of gratitude.<br />
For the prayers, gifts, encouragement,<br />
and visible manifestations of support from<br />
so many, we are indeed grateful.<br />

<strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> academics<br />
<strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> has been named<br />
one of the South’s top tier universities<br />
for the 11th straight year by U.S.News<br />
& World Report, moving into the top<br />
20 in its current category for the first time.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> is ranked 20th in the<br />
“Southern Universities-Master’s: Top<br />
Schools” category, which includes<br />
those institutions that provide a full<br />
range of undergraduate programs and<br />
some master’s level programs. The<br />
category includes 574 universities,<br />
ranked within four geographic areas –<br />
North, South, Midwest and West.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> was ranked 38th in the<br />
same category just two years ago.<br />
“The U.S.News & World Report<br />
listings speak volumes about the quality<br />
of students at <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong>,”<br />
<strong>Union</strong> President David S. Dockery<br />
said. “Simultaneously, it is a tribute<br />
to the dedicated efforts of our outstanding<br />
faculty and staff.”<br />
Among the top tier universities in<br />
the South, <strong>Union</strong> ranked in the top<br />
10 in five subcategories, including<br />
faculty resources, percentage of classes<br />
with fewer than 20 students,<br />
SAT/ ACT scores,<br />
freshmen in top 25<br />
percent of high<br />
school class and<br />
student selectivity.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> was 11th in<br />
the “student/faculty<br />
ratio” category.<br />

2008<br />
Princeton Review added <strong>Union</strong> to<br />
its “100 Best Southeastern Colleges”<br />
edition for 2008. <strong>Union</strong> has also once<br />
again been named one of “America’s<br />
100 Best College Buys” by an independent<br />
research firm and has been<br />
added to a national guide called<br />
“Colleges of Distinction.”<br />
The Colleges of Distinction guide<br />
identifies four distinctions of superior<br />
colleges and universities: engaged students,<br />
great teaching, vibrant communities<br />
and successful outcomes.<br />
Card, Panetta provide<br />
insider’s look at the Oval Office<br />
Life in the White House is intense and<br />
pressure-packed, but nothing at all<br />
like the hit television series “The<br />
West Wing,” according to Leon Panetta.<br />
“Watching ‘The West Wing’ on television<br />
is like looking at the Eiffel Tower in Las<br />
Vegas,” Panetta said. “It looks real, feels<br />
real, but isn’t real.”<br />
Panetta, who served as chief of staff for<br />
President Clinton, and Andrew Card,<br />
former chief of staff for President George<br />
W. Bush, were the keynote speakers Oct.<br />
23 for <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s 11th annual<br />
Scholarship Banquet and provided an<br />
insider’s look at White House operations.<br />
The event drew 1,700 people and raised<br />
$500,000 for student scholarships. The<br />
banquet proceeds pushed the university’s<br />
“<strong>Union</strong> 2010” capital campaign to more than<br />
$100 million toward the goal of $110 million.<br />
“Both speakers provided insightful commentary<br />
on the work of the White House<br />
and the challenges facing our nation and our<br />
world,” <strong>Union</strong> President David S. Dockery<br />
said. “For the generosity of our friends and<br />
the support of the community for this event<br />
we are most grateful.”<br />
Lead sponsors were Bancorp South;<br />
White Investments LLC, Roy L. and<br />

and Zan Holmes; The Jackson Sun; Nortek<br />
Incorporated, Lloyd Hansen; Keith and<br />
Beverly Absher; Impact 360, John and Trudy<br />
White; and West Tennessee Healthcare.<br />
This banquet marked the first time in<br />
the event’s 11-year history that two keynote<br />
speakers have been featured on the same<br />
program. Previous banquets have featured<br />
speakers such as George H.W.<br />
Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev, Margaret<br />
Thatcher and Colin Powell.<br />
Card’s address recounted the defining<br />
moment of his tenure as chief of staff –<br />
the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He recalled<br />
getting the first word about a plane slamming<br />
into the World Trade Center, and the<br />
analysis that it was only an accident. When<br />
word came a few moments later that another<br />
plane had hit the second tower, Card<br />
knew he had to inform the president.<br />
“A second plane hit the second tower,”<br />
Card whispered into Bush’s ear as he was<br />
reading to a class of elementary school<br />
students. “America is under attack.”<br />
Card explained how difficult the president’s<br />
job is, and said that no decision that<br />
ever reaches the Oval Office is an easy decision.<br />
The chief of staff’s job, Card said, is to<br />
make sure the president is prepared to make<br />
the tough decisions.<br />
For Bush, that meant talking to good<br />
advisers, as well as reading history and<br />
policy papers, Card said.<br />
continued on page 5<br />
continued from page 4<br />
“But most importantly, I found, was seeking<br />
counsel from a higher power, and I witnessed<br />
the president seek that counsel many,<br />
many times,” Card said.<br />
Panetta said the ingredients to success<br />
in the White House are hard work, dedication,<br />
sacrifice and loyalty.<br />
“We govern in our democracy either<br />
through leadership or through crisis,”<br />
Panetta said. The challenge of chief of<br />
staff is to help serve the president so that crisis<br />
alone does not drive policy in this country.”<br />
<strong>Union</strong> Forum to<br />
feature three speakers<br />
The 2008 <strong>Union</strong> Forum will examine the<br />
U.S. presidential elections and will feature<br />
three speakers rather than two for the first<br />
time in the 10-year history of the event.<br />
The luncheon programs begin March<br />
12 with Paul Begala, who was a top aide<br />
to former President Bill Clinton. The second<br />
program on April 2 features Michael<br />
Gerson, a former senior policy adviser to<br />
President George W. Bush. The 2008<br />
series concludes April 16 with Good<br />
Morning America’s senior national correspondent<br />
Claire Shipman.<br />
Begala is a political analyst for CNN<br />
and research professor at Georgetown<br />
<strong>University</strong>’s Public Policy Institute. As a<br />
top Clinton aide he was responsible for<br />
defining and defending the White House<br />
agenda, from the State of the <strong>Union</strong> Address<br />
Panetta described President Clinton as<br />
“the most unique and complex political figure”<br />
that he ever met in 30 years of politics.<br />
Clinton was one part “good old boy,”<br />
one part Yale student and Oxford scholar and<br />
one part consummate politician, Panetta said.<br />
“I had the good fortune to serve him<br />
as chief of staff in his first four years,”<br />
Panetta said. “And I’ve always thanked<br />
the guardian angel who told me it was time<br />
to get out of Washington at the end of those<br />
first four years.”<br />
Left: March 12 with Paul Begala<br />

Gerson worked closely with President<br />
Bush to create memorable speeches following<br />
the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He is currently<br />
a senior fellow at the Council on<br />
Foreign Relations and is a columnist for<br />
the Washington Post.<br />
Shipman contributes frequently to several<br />
ABC News programs. Previously, she<br />
served as White House correspondent for<br />
NBC News, spent five years at CNN’s<br />
Moscow Bureau, and wrote a popular column<br />
for George magazine for two years.<br />

Enrollment reaches record<br />
high for 10th straight year<br />
Enrollment at <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> for<br />
the fall semester is a record-high 3,310<br />
students, the 10th straight year for an<br />
enrollment increase at the university.<br />
The 2007 figure tops last year’s<br />
fall enrollment of 3,156. The latest<br />
enrollment figures show a 68 percent<br />
increase over the 1,972 students<br />
enrolled in the fall of 1996, when<br />
<strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> President David<br />
S. Dockery began his tenure.<br />
The total 2007 fall enrollment<br />
includes 2,376 undergraduate students,<br />
compared to 2,277 last year, and 930<br />
graduate students, compared to 879<br />
last year.<br />
“We are thrilled with both the number<br />
and the quality of new students who<br />
have chosen to attend <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
and we give thanks for each student pursuing<br />
a degree this semester on the<br />
<strong>Union</strong> campus,” Dockery said. “We recognize<br />
that the enrollment numbers are<br />
only one portion of the story at <strong>Union</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong>, but they are a strong indicator<br />
of institutional health.”<br />
The fall enrollment totals include<br />
the largest number of incoming freshmen<br />
in <strong>Union</strong>’s history at 476, and<br />
the largest number of new students,<br />
including freshmen, transfers, nontraditional<br />
students and graduate<br />
students, at more than 1,100.<br />
“Students are choosing <strong>Union</strong><br />
because of the serious commitment to<br />
rigorous academics and the dedication<br />
across the campus to the university’s<br />
Christ-centered mission,” Dockery<br />
said. “We salute the wonderful work<br />
of our enrollment services team.”<br />

<strong>Union</strong> honors Moss<br />
with doctorate<br />
During the August commencement<br />
ceremonies at <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong>,<br />
President David S. Dockery presented<br />
an honorary Doctor of Humanities<br />
degree to Jim Moss, retiring president<br />
and CEO of West Tennessee Healthcare.<br />
Jim Moss (center) receives his hood from<br />
Dr. Jimmy Davis and Dr. Carla Sanderson<br />
Dockery said the university faculty<br />
and trustees vote on rewarding such a<br />
degree to someone who has demonstrated<br />
significant leadership and made considerable<br />
contributions to society.<br />
“During the years that Jim Moss<br />
has led West Tennessee Healthcare,<br />
he has changed the culture of a public<br />
hospital – a culture that is characterized<br />
by love and service and care<br />
for people,” Dockery said, noting<br />
that during the past 12 years, West<br />
Tennessee Healthcare has given or<br />
pledged $6 million to <strong>Union</strong>.<br />
Moss is a native of Louisiana and<br />
is married to Peggy. They have three<br />
children and five grandchildren.<br />

The act of giving:<br />
A kidney donation between friends<br />
Alvin Jeffery knew that Dustin<br />
Mayfield needed help, so he leaped<br />
at the chance to offer it.<br />
After all, what’s a kidney between friends?<br />
“I have two of them,” Jeffery said. “Some<br />
people say God gave you two kidneys for a<br />
reason. Maybe it’s so you can give one away<br />
to someone who doesn’t have it.”<br />
Jeffery, who graduated from <strong>Union</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> with a degree in nursing in<br />
May, donated a kidney to <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
junior Dustin Mayfield in a transplant<br />
operation in June at Methodist Hospital in<br />
Memphis. The operation was a success, and<br />
both men are well on the way to recovery.<br />
“I just feel like<br />
God lined us up and<br />
took care of it all,”<br />
Mayfield said. “I<br />
love Alvin to death.<br />
I guess he’s kind of<br />
my hero. I can’t<br />
think of anyone better<br />
to get a kidney<br />
from than him.”<br />
Mayfield has a rare<br />
genetic disease called<br />
Alport Syndrome that keeps the kidneys<br />
from developing properly. He has known<br />
for years that he would one day need a<br />
kidney transplant.<br />
He hadn’t experienced any physical<br />
problems, however, until his first year of<br />
college at <strong>Union</strong>, when he could tell he<br />
was getting weaker and sicker.<br />
“That was when I first started feeling<br />
bad,” Mayfield said. “Nothing really hindered<br />
me at all until the end of my first<br />
year of college.”<br />
Mayfield began talking to a transplant<br />
team at the hospital in August 2006.<br />
When his <strong>Union</strong> friends discovered that<br />
Dustin Mayfield (left)<br />
and Alvin Jeffery (right)<br />
Mayfield would need a transplant, some of<br />
them began offering to donate. Jeffery was<br />
one of those, and he was serious about it.<br />
Mayfield felt completely at ease with the<br />
idea of Jeffery as a donor.<br />
Jeffery, now on the nursing staff at<br />
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, said he<br />
had multiple reasons for offering to help.<br />
“I had always thought it would be cool<br />
to donate a kidney,” Jeffery said. “It’s something<br />
my mom has always instilled in me, to<br />
donate an organ if I get a chance to.”<br />
He also had some selfish reasons for<br />
doing so.<br />
“It’s going to teach me how to be more<br />
empathetic to my patients,” Jeffery said.<br />
Tests confirmed that Jeffery and<br />
Mayfield were a close<br />
enough match, so<br />
they proceeded with<br />
plans for surgery.<br />
Jeffery took his nursing<br />
board exams and<br />
donated a kidney on<br />
successive days. He<br />
got word he had<br />
passed the boards<br />
while in the hospital.<br />
“The surgery went<br />
great,” Mayfield said after the transplant.<br />
“No complications. My kidneys are working<br />
well and producing a lot of urine,<br />
which is a good sign.”<br />
All indications are that Mayfield’s body has<br />
accepted the kidney. “I could tell people were<br />
praying for me,” Mayfield said. “There’s no<br />
way that it could have worked out better than<br />
it did. Everyone’s been very supportive.”<br />
Mayfield and his family are thankful<br />
for Jeffery’s selflessness.<br />
“I keep calling him our hero,” said<br />
Gail Mayfield, Dustin’s mother. “For<br />
someone to step up and give a kidney –<br />
he knew it was going to be painful. He<br />
was all for it and never had a doubt. It<br />
takes someone special.”<br />
Baptist Worship Identity<br />
Symposium scheduled for 2008<br />
<strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> will host a major conference<br />
this winter focused on the<br />
importance of worship in Baptist life.<br />
The Baptist Worship Identity Symposium<br />
Feb. 14-16 will feature a distinguished<br />
panel of presenters on the Jackson campus.<br />
They will explore key worship issues and<br />
present a hymn festival.<br />
“This project unfolded into a dynamic,<br />
three-pronged focus: a major symposium,<br />
worship renewal in partner churches<br />
and worship renewal throughout our<br />
campus community,” said Richard<br />
Joiner, chairman of the department of<br />
music at <strong>Union</strong>. “We are blessed to have<br />
the opportunity to join our churches and<br />
our Baptist communities of faith with<br />
this pivotal endeavor.”<br />
The Baptist Worship Identity Symposium<br />
and Project is a joint endeavor of <strong>Union</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> and the Tennessee Baptist<br />
Convention. This symposium and project<br />
are made possible, in part, through a<br />
Worship Renewal Grant from the Calvin<br />
Institute of Christian Worship, Grand<br />
Rapids, Mich., with funds provided by<br />
the Lilly Endowment Inc.<br />
Among the presenters scheduled to<br />
appear is Marva Dawn, author of “Reaching<br />
Out Without Dumbing Down,” and other<br />
books on worship. She is a teaching fellow<br />
in spiritual theology at Regent College in<br />
Vancouver, British Columbia.<br />
Also scheduled are Donald Hustad,<br />
senior professor of church music and<br />
worship at the Southern Baptist Theological<br />
Seminary, Louisville, Ky.; Robert Smith Jr.,<br />
professor of Christian preaching at Beeson<br />
Divinity School, Birmingham, Ala.; David<br />
S. Dockery, <strong>Union</strong> president; and George<br />
Guthrie, Benjamin W. Perry Professor of<br />
Bible at <strong>Union</strong>.<br />
The symposium follows two Baptist<br />
Identity Conferences at <strong>Union</strong> in 2004<br />
and 2007. Those meetings focused on<br />
key matters of faith such as evangelism,<br />
church growth, the future of Baptist<br />
associations and the traditional church.<br />
“The Baptist Worship Identity<br />
Symposium was born out of the hope<br />
that the Baptist Identity Conferences<br />
would not only affirm the doctrines that<br />
are essential to our identity, but guide us<br />
to a worship that grows out of that identity,”<br />
Joiner said.<br />
For more information about the 2008<br />
conference, contact the department of<br />
music at (731) 661-5311.<br />

chapel service on <strong>Union</strong>’s campus.<br />
“Our mission of healing, teaching<br />
and preaching extends beyond the<br />
hospital and into our community and<br />
our schools,” Reynolds said.<br />
The gift from Baptist follows $5 million<br />

<strong>Union</strong> achieves<br />
accreditation rarity<br />
The Southern Association of<br />
Colleges and Schools has affirmed<br />
<strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s accreditation for the<br />
next 10 years, after the university was<br />
found to be in compliance in all areas<br />
with no recommendations for changes.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> Provost Carla<br />
Sanderson said it was extremely rare<br />
for SACS to find institutions in compliance<br />
in all areas.<br />
“The chairman of the on-site visiting<br />
team in May said that in 30 years<br />
of chairing on-site teams, <strong>Union</strong> was<br />
his first experience where there were no<br />
recommendations,” Sanderson said.<br />
The SACS on-site team visited the<br />
<strong>Union</strong> campus in May. Final notification<br />
came from SACS in December.<br />
Though individual programs of<br />
study will have to go through accreditation<br />
processes over the next decade,<br />
the report means that <strong>Union</strong> as an<br />
institution remains fully accredited<br />
for 10 years.<br />

New university centers examine<br />
media, culture and beliefs<br />
Two new university centers will provide<br />
forums for some widely discussed<br />
and crucial issues in American culture.<br />
The Center for<br />
Media, Faith and<br />
Culture provides<br />
Christian communicators<br />
with perspective<br />
as they<br />
engage the culture.<br />
Michael D. Chute,<br />
professor of communication arts, is the<br />
center’s director.<br />
Also new this fall<br />
is the Center for<br />
Politics and<br />
Religion, directed<br />
by Micah Watson,<br />
assistant professor<br />
of political science .<br />
This center will<br />
sponsor conferences, promote<br />
research and encourage each student<br />
to consider how faith affects political<br />
philosophy.<br />
“It’s sometimes said that we are<br />
supposed to avoid bringing these topics<br />
up at polite dinner conversation,”<br />
Watson said. “But I think <strong>Union</strong> in<br />
general and the Center can foster<br />
robust and charitable conversations<br />
about these matters that we often<br />
care about a great deal.”<br />
The Center will also bring in<br />
speakers and sponsor conferences<br />
that will address these topics. Watson<br />
said two scholars will visit <strong>Union</strong><br />
on President’s Day to talk about<br />
Washington and Lincoln and their<br />
approach to politics and religion.<br />
There are now 10 centers for study<br />
at <strong>Union</strong>. Others include the Carl<br />
F. H. Henry Center for Christian<br />
Leadership, Center for Business and<br />
Economic Development, Center for<br />
Educational Practice, Center for<br />
Excellence in Health Care Practice,<br />
Center for Faculty Development,<br />

Bulldogs look to repeat<br />
NAIA tournament run<br />
From a national perspective, head<br />
coach Ralph Turner’s team is coming<br />
off a highly successful season. The<br />
Bulldogs advanced to the Elite Eight in<br />
the 2007 NAIA National Tournament<br />
with wins over, California Baptist and<br />
Southern Nazarene (Okla.).<br />
Five players from that team graduated,<br />
including 56 of the team’s 83 total points<br />
per game last season. Four of those were<br />
starters who earned NAIA All-American<br />
honors during their <strong>Union</strong> careers: Mack<br />
Bealim, Deywane Lee, Ben Frederick,<br />
and Pierry Valmera.<br />
Ryan Merriman is this year’s lone<br />
returning senior. He made 21 threepointers<br />
for the Bulldogs and was a key<br />
player in <strong>Union</strong>’s NAIA run.<br />
Other key returning players from<br />
last year’s 25-10 squad include juniors<br />
Brian Lake (12.6 points per game) and<br />
Tony Brown (11.2); and sophomores<br />
Tacuma Alexander, Brandon Lay and<br />
Keith Tollivar.<br />
Among the leading newcomers is junior<br />
college All-American Matt Neaville.<br />
He set the junior college record with 17<br />
made three-pointers in a game and was<br />
the nation’s fourth leading junior college<br />
scorer with 26 points per game.<br />
“Matt is a special player,” Turner said.<br />
“Not only is he a great shooter and scorer,<br />
but he finds ways to make all of his<br />
teammates better.”<br />
Lady Bulldogs return top scorers<br />
Head coach Mark Campbell welcomes<br />
back four of the top five scorers<br />
from a team that advanced to the<br />
NAIA national tournament’s final four<br />
and took the TranSouth conference title<br />
for the 10th time in 12 years.<br />
Merideth Richardson Jacobs (leading<br />
three-point shooter from 2005 and 2006<br />
national title teams) is back following a<br />
medical redshirt season. Kaitlin Dudley<br />
returns after leading <strong>Union</strong> in scoring as<br />
a freshman (14 points per game). Josephine<br />
Owino will try to better her 64 percent<br />
field goal shooting last season, the<br />
second-best percentage in the nation.<br />
All three players have each been NAIA<br />
All-Americans during their careers.<br />
Crystal Eason returns for her senior season.<br />
She was named a conference scholarathlete<br />
last year, averaging 10.6 points per<br />
game while sinking 68 three-point shots.<br />
Campbell adds another player to his<br />
roster this year in freshman Kayla Hudson<br />
from nearby Gleason, Tenn. She was<br />
Miss Tennessee Basketball in high school<br />
and will see a lot of playing time.<br />
“She has been very well coached,”<br />
says Campbell. “She has the ability<br />
to play with intelligence no matter the<br />
situation.”<br />
Practicing Safety: Germantown Nursing Coordinator Dana Wilkinson and RN-BSN student Scott Summars<br />
receive training on extinguishing a fire during CERT Training. The pair form a two-person team and are learning a<br />
“buddy system” safety approach. Summars has to be ready to pull Wilkinson back if the fire intensifies.<br />
Germantown campus volunteers<br />
trained for disaster service<br />
Students, faculty and staff on <strong>Union</strong>’s<br />
Germantown campus have completed<br />
the Community Emergency Response<br />
Teams program, designed to produce trained<br />
volunteers who can help during a disaster.<br />
Germantown firefighters and police officers<br />
presented the disaster response training<br />
to <strong>Union</strong> volunteers, including Dana<br />
Wilkinson, nursing coordinator; Tabitha<br />
Washburn, IT for Germantown campus;<br />
Donna Sachse, director of nursing in<br />
Germantown; and 24 students. They<br />
received disaster relief kits containing official<br />
CERT gear, bandages and supplies for<br />
sustaining life.<br />
Responsibilities and duties accompany<br />
CERT volunteers. Many were surprised<br />
to learn that official rescue squads would<br />
report to the local CERT leader for<br />
instruction in the event of an actual<br />
emergency.<br />
“We never know when a disaster may<br />
occur,” Sachse said. “The students have<br />
been trained to respond to any type of disaster<br />
and will have an ID card that identifies<br />
them to others.<br />
“There are numerous types of disasters:<br />
fire, tornado, flood, earthquake, terrorism,<br />
winter storm, hurricane, hazardous<br />
materials release. The students are now<br />
prepared to respond appropriately.”<br />
Volunteers learn basic disaster response<br />
skills such as fire safety, light search and<br />
rescue, team organization and disaster<br />
medical operations – including response to<br />
emotional needs of the injured. Students say<br />
they found the drills challenging.<br />
“It’s difficult to keep a group of<br />
rescuers organized in a situation where<br />
you have multiple victims with extensive<br />
injuries,” nursing student Mike<br />
Wilkerson said.<br />
Local firefighters supervised as each<br />
CERT trainee extinguished fires, surveyed<br />
damage, disabled power sources,<br />
treated wounds of all kinds and evacuated<br />
victims from dangerous situations.<br />
“This has given (students) invaluable<br />
training to respond when there is a community<br />
disaster,” Washburn said, who<br />
also played a victim with various simulated<br />
wounds during a training drill..<br />
“This has also taught the students to be<br />
proactive, to be prepared. It teaches them<br />
critical thinking and resourcefulness in<br />
finding needed supplies.”<br />
Chi Omega teams with<br />
Make-A-Wish to help children<br />
Armando Sanchez only wanted to<br />
be able to play with the other neighborhood<br />
kids.<br />
That’s not an easy thing to do, as<br />
8-year-old Armando has a muscle disease<br />
that makes walking difficult.<br />
Riding a conventional bike is out of<br />
the question.<br />
But thanks to the combined efforts<br />
of the <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> Chi Omega<br />
chapter and the Make-A-Wish<br />
Foundation, Armando now has the<br />
means to be mobile. The women<br />
from Chi Omega granted Armando’s<br />
wish and presented him with an electronic<br />
tricycle, among other gifts.<br />
Total cost for the project was about<br />
$5,000. When he first saw the bike,<br />
Armando covered his face and cried.<br />
“It’s exciting,” said Claire Yates,<br />
Chi Omega’s director of community<br />
service. “It’s a lot of hard work, but<br />
then when you see the kids, it’s completely<br />
worth it.”<br />
Armando, a child with the Make-A-Wish<br />
Foundation, plays with one of the presents he<br />
recieved at a party sponsored by Chi Omega.<br />
Armando is the third child <strong>Union</strong>’s<br />
Chi Omega chapter has helped through<br />
the Make-A-Wish foundation. The<br />
sorority raised money for his project<br />
through a 5K race and a barbecue.<br />
“He wanted something to play<br />
with the other kids in the neighborhood,”<br />
said Tawnette Baker, wish<br />
coordinator for the Make-A-Wish<br />
Foundation in Memphis. “All the<br />
other kids have bikes and he didn’t<br />
have one and he couldn’t ride one<br />
because he can’t make his feet pedal.<br />
It’ll be phenomenal for him.”<br />
Armando quickly recovered from<br />
his initial shock and took his new gift<br />
for a test drive.<br />

Kyle Hathcox<br />
Memorial Scholarship<br />
<strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> has established<br />
the Kyle Hathcox Memorial<br />
Scholarship for physics majors<br />
and minors. To further recognize<br />
Hathcox’s contributions to the<br />
university, <strong>Union</strong> President<br />
David S. Dockery announced<br />
that the physics and engineering<br />
offices have been renamed the<br />
Kyle Hathcox Memorial Suite.<br />
Please address contributions<br />
to the Kyle Hathcox<br />
Memorial Scholarship,<br />
Office of <strong>University</strong> Relations,<br />
<strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong>,<br />
1050 <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> Drive,<br />
Jackson, TN 38305<br />
His students remember him as a professor<br />
who cared about them – not just<br />
as physics students, but as people.<br />
His colleagues remember him as a leader and<br />
conciliator – someone whose presence was<br />
always soothing and never disruptive.<br />
Shortly after being diagnosed with leukemia<br />
in July, physics professor Kyle Hathcox died at<br />
the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.<br />
A campus memorial service in his honor was<br />
conducted on the first day of fall semester classes.<br />
“He was one of the most tenderhearted people<br />
I ever met,” said Brian Taylor, a 2005 <strong>Union</strong><br />
graduate. “One thing I will never forget. Right<br />
after graduation I was walking along and all of<br />
a sudden this big guy just started hugging<br />
me. It was Dr. Hathcox. He was even tearing<br />
up. He cared so much for his students.”<br />
Taylor is a Doctor of Philosophy student in<br />
medical physics at M.D. Anderson and was able<br />
to visit Hathcox only a couple of hours before<br />
his death.<br />
A Texas native, Hathcox began teaching at<br />
<strong>Union</strong> in 1974. He left in 1988 for a six-year<br />
stint at Gordon College, then returned to the<br />
<strong>Union</strong> faculty in 1994. His wife Sandy is a parttime<br />
education professor at <strong>Union</strong>.<br />
“I could tell that he and Sandy loved each other<br />
very much,” <strong>Union</strong> physics professor Bill Nettles<br />
said. “He was almost like a teenager around her.”<br />
<strong>Union</strong> physics professor David Ward called<br />
Hathcox a great campus leader who practiced skillful<br />
diplomacy among people with differing viewpoints.<br />
Ward also said Hathcox was instrumental<br />
in starting both the physics and engineering<br />
programs at <strong>Union</strong>.<br />
“We give thanks for Dr. Hathcox’s years of<br />
faithful service to <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> and for<br />
the lives of students and colleagues who were<br />
touched by his teaching and service,” President<br />
David S. Dockery said. “We are also thankful<br />
for Dr. Hathcox’s strong faith in Jesus Christ,<br />
and while we grieve his loss, we do so with the<br />
promise and hope of eternal life through Jesus<br />
Christ our Lord.”<br />
Barbara McMillin, associate provost and dean<br />
of instruction at <strong>Union</strong>, worked closely with<br />
Hathcox when she was dean of the College of<br />
Arts and Sciences. She described him as “amazingly<br />
reliable and thorough,” and as someone<br />
who handled all situations with grace.<br />
“Kyle Hathcox was a leader who led by<br />
example, and he led in a very quiet, dignified<br />
and effective way,” McMillin said.<br />
Rob Krauss is a 2007 <strong>Union</strong> graduate who<br />
majored in physics, and a graduate student in<br />
medical physics at Vanderbilt <strong>University</strong>. Krauss<br />
said Hathcox’s influence on his life was profound.<br />
Krauss especially remembers one of the last<br />
lengthy conversations he had with Hathcox.<br />
“I sat in his office probably for about an hour,”<br />
Krauss said. “We talked about science and faith,<br />
and how science is a way that God has pointed to<br />
himself, and how the world has forgotten that.”<br />
Krauss recalls many times in his experimental<br />
physics class, when they would be waiting for<br />
the results of an experiment, that Hathcox<br />
would tell the students personal stories about<br />
his experiences, studies and life.<br />
“And we would eat it up,” Krauss said.<br />
“He was doing the one thing that he<br />
loved most at <strong>Union</strong>, which is teaching.<br />
“He was an example of what people come<br />
to expect from professors at <strong>Union</strong>.”<br />

On the heels of opening a $20 million<br />
White Hall, more new construction<br />
is in progress during the 2007-08<br />
academic year.<br />
The recently completed amphitheatre is<br />
a gift from the classes of 2003 and 2006.<br />
Student musician Christopher “Cody”<br />
Curtis was the first artist to perform a concert<br />
at the new facility, which is directly<br />
east of Jennings Hall.<br />
To the east of the amphitheatre are two<br />
other large construction projects that have<br />
changed the flow of traffic until completion.<br />
The former circle in front of Coburn<br />
Dining Room’s west entrance has been<br />
removed to make room<br />
for a 16,000 square foot<br />
expansion of the facility.<br />
The new addition adds 600<br />
seats for special events and will free more<br />
of the existing facility to serve students.<br />
A multi-story residence hall north of the<br />
Coburn construction is also underway.<br />
The first step involved construction of a<br />
new parking lot to replace the space in<br />
which the residence hall will be built.<br />
Plans call for 100 private rooms and 25<br />
suites with common kitchen, bathroom<br />
and living areas. The entrances to these<br />
rooms will be through interior hallways.<br />
Both the banquet facility<br />
and the new residence hall should be finished<br />
in time for the start of the 2008-09<br />
academic year next August.<br />
The renovation of several areas in Penick<br />
Academic Center that now house engineering,<br />
physics and career services was completed<br />
prior to the start of fall semester. Resurfacing<br />
of roads and parking lots across the campus<br />
is also completed.<br />
Visitors to Coburn Dining Room,<br />
Enrollment Services or other<br />
locations in the Barefoot Student<br />
<strong>Union</strong> Building will need to follow<br />
some new procedures throughout the<br />
2007-08 academic year: Enter the<br />
campus from the Pleasant Plains<br />
entrance. Turn right onto Dement<br />
Drive, then take the first left – a driveway<br />
that serves the White Hall parking<br />
lot. Continue to the end of this driveway,<br />
bear left and enter a larger parking<br />
lot. In the direction of Miller<br />
Tower, you will see a sand volleyball<br />
court. Park in that area and take the<br />
sidewalk to the right of the court to<br />
the Barefoot Student <strong>Union</strong> Building.<br />
The new addition to Coburn<br />
Dining Hall now under construction<br />
involves more than added<br />
table and banquet space.<br />
Among the plans for the new building<br />
is an entry way called Heritage Hall<br />
that will include two major permanent<br />
exhibits. One is a historical timeline<br />
illustrating <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s history;<br />
another honors <strong>Union</strong> presidents.<br />
The timeline will exhibit at least 50<br />
large acrylic glass panels, plus scores of<br />
documents and other items of historical<br />
significance at <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong>. The<br />
committee working on the project<br />
expects to review more than 1,000 documents<br />
before choosing the featured items.<br />
“For me, some of the most lasting<br />
impressions from working on this project<br />
come from looking into the faces of the<br />
young men and women who came here,”<br />
said Steve Baker, associate vice president<br />
for academic resources and library director.<br />
“The whole exercise has given me a<br />
better awareness of how the hand of<br />
providence has can be seen so clearly<br />
in sustaining and nurturing <strong>Union</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> for the special purpose it<br />
now espouses within the academy.”<br />
A 50-inch flat screen<br />
television will also be mounted in<br />
the Heritage Hall, allowing for video<br />
presentations and other temporary<br />
exhibits.<br />
The Presidents Wall will include 15<br />
large portraits of <strong>Union</strong> presidents.<br />
Both exhibits will be bolted and<br />
anchored in the walls and illuminated<br />
with track lighting. Some of the<br />
accompanying campus pictures will<br />
be so large that a 39 megapixel camera<br />
is required to produce adequate<br />
resolution.<br />
“As we install walls of this nature, it<br />
seems most people are not quite prepared<br />
for the overall shock of the ‘wow<br />
factor,’” said Jim Harding of Harding<br />
Creative Inc., a Memphis company<br />
that is working with the committee<br />
from <strong>Union</strong> to complete the project.<br />
Harding has installed similar permanent<br />
exhibits in bank buildings and<br />
university settings.<br />
“The finishing touches added by<br />
our Living Mural Walls have made<br />
some of the architects exclaim that it<br />
is the key component bringing the<br />
whole edifice together,” Harding said.<br />
The Heritage Hall project is scheduled<br />
for completion in late spring or<br />
early summer of 2008.<br />

The phrase “Christian worldview”<br />
is heard early and often<br />
in the careers of <strong>Union</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> students. Many<br />
admit upon arrival that the<br />
phrase is confusing or even<br />
intimidating.<br />
But most leave <strong>Union</strong> with<br />
an appreciation for seeking<br />
knowledge rooted in biblical truth. In other<br />
words, they see their particular disciplines<br />
in greater depth because they also see<br />
opportunities to apply Christian principles<br />
to their callings.<br />
The idea of combining academic rigor and Christian thinking is a challenging<br />
concept in the academy of the early 21st century. The founders of America’s<br />
oldest and most respected universities treated all intellectual discoveries as<br />
steps in a journey toward discovering God’s truth.<br />
This Christian intellectual tradition forms the foundation of <strong>Union</strong>’s mission<br />
in 2007 and beyond. It’s a mission President David S. Dockery has examined in<br />
detail through the years, and a philosophy he conveys in a newly released book<br />
entitled “Renewing Minds: Serving Church and Society through Christian<br />
Higher Education.”<br />
The book has achieved critical acclaim. Baylor <strong>University</strong> Executive Vice<br />
President and Provost J. Randall O’Brien says he will distribute a copy to every<br />
chair, dean and new faculty member. Charles Colson says the book is “a timely<br />
and valuable resource” and “there’s no greater need for the church than to equip<br />
the coming generation of Christians to engage the postmodern culture.”<br />
In this section of the <strong>Union</strong>ite, that cultural engagement is examined<br />
through the experiences of <strong>Union</strong> students and faculty.<br />
In addition, four members of the <strong>Union</strong> faculty and<br />
administration have addressed some of the themes<br />
that Dockery writes about in “Renewing Minds”:<br />
• Associate Provost and Dean of Instruction<br />
Barbara McMillin writes about establishing<br />
a grace-filled academic community.<br />
• Charles Colson Professor of Faith and<br />
Culture Hal Poe examines thinking<br />
globally about the future.<br />
• Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences<br />
Gene Fant looks at loving God with his mind.<br />
• Dean of the School of Christian Studies<br />
Gregory Thornbury considers a culture<br />
without Christianity.<br />

In “Renewing Minds,” <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
President David S. Dockery in the chapter<br />
entitled “Establishing a Grace-Filled Academic<br />
Community” identifies unity, worship, service<br />
and the shared life as the calls incumbent<br />
upon the faculty, administration, staff and<br />
students who populate such a community.<br />
As I pondered each of these calls I began<br />
to consider what a tour of such a community<br />
would reveal. Taking the tour was easy; I had only to<br />
look around me at the <strong>Union</strong> community in which I<br />
am blessed to serve.<br />
Unity<br />
“A coherent picture of life and learning,” as<br />
Dockery describes it, comes clearly into focus<br />
when faculty, regardless of the area in which they are<br />
trained or the type of program in which they teach,<br />
unite to identify the connections and contemplate<br />
the lordship of Christ over all disciplines. On several<br />
occasions just this fall I have witnessed as engineers<br />
and historians, scientists and musicians, artists and<br />
accountants have gathered to discuss the myriad<br />
ways in which their disciplines — all our disciplines<br />
— are unified in Christ, all being created by Him<br />
and subject to Him.<br />
Worship<br />
Regularly my “tour” takes me<br />
through the double doors of G.M.<br />
Savage Memorial Chapel; here<br />
it is clear that the call to worship<br />
is heard and acted<br />
upon by students, faculty<br />
and staff alike. It is evident<br />
in these weekly<br />
chapel services that the<br />
<strong>Union</strong> community<br />
makes “the worship and<br />
praise of Almighty God a<br />
high priority,” as Dockery<br />
writes. When Proclamation<br />
stirs our hearts in a mighty<br />
song of praise or when one of our own like Roland<br />
Porter challenges us to consider our placement in this<br />
community for “such a time as this,” we are bound<br />
together in the “internal communion” that Dockery recognizes<br />
as a characteristic of worship.<br />
Service<br />
While service isn’t difficult to find on campus, the<br />
best perspective requires touring beyond the formal<br />
boundaries of the bypass and Pleasant Plains, beyond<br />
Country Club and <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> Drive.<br />
Recognizing what Dr. Dockery terms the<br />
“Augustinian tension,” <strong>Union</strong>ites are finding ways to<br />
“live in both Jerusalem and Athens.” From studies<br />
abroad and service projects to internships and GO<br />
trips, members of the <strong>Union</strong> academic community<br />
are indeed representing Christ to and in the world.<br />
Through these and other means of modeling service,<br />
we are able to engage the culture without, as<br />
Dockery notes, accommodating it.<br />
A Shared Life<br />
Where are shared relationships found on our<br />
campus? In the Hundley Center? In Fresh Start<br />
(the orientation program for new faculty)? On the<br />
soccer field? In organic chemistry? In the BAC? In<br />
jazz band rehearsal? In the Greater Faculty meetings?<br />
The answer is “yes” to all; shared relationships<br />
are found wherever two or more colleagues,<br />
two or more teammates,<br />
two or more musicians, two or<br />
more lab partners, two or<br />
more laborers in Christ<br />
come together and share<br />
their joys, their discoveries,<br />
their strengths, their<br />
weaknesses, their burdens.<br />
In short, a shared<br />
life can be found wherever<br />
there is true community.<br />
In such a place grace<br />
abounds. To God be<br />
the glory!<br />
16 UNIONITE Winter 2008
At the beginning of every semester in my<br />
New Testament class, I ask how many<br />
students have been out of the country.<br />
Twelve years ago, two or three students<br />
would raise their hands. Today only two<br />
or three students have not traveled outside<br />
the United States. They have gone<br />
on school trips and mission trips and<br />
family trips. The world is coming to the<br />
United States, but Americans also travel the world the<br />
way we once visited other states.<br />
The experience of visiting other countries, if only for a<br />
few days, provides students with an insight into understanding<br />
the world of the New Testament.<br />
Jerusalem had a military occupation like<br />
Baghdad. Terrorists called Zealots<br />
committed assassinations on<br />
those who dared to work with<br />
the Romans. But at the more<br />
basic level of normal day-today<br />
life across the empire,<br />
Paul and the other<br />
Christian missionaries<br />
found that they could “get<br />
by” in any part of the<br />
world if they knew a little<br />
Greek. It was the language<br />
of commerce. No matter<br />
what the local language might<br />
be in Lystra, Antioch or Rome,<br />
almost everyone knew enough<br />
Greek to carry on business.<br />
I ask our students if they had any trouble<br />
buying souvenirs in South America, Africa, Asia or<br />
Europe. It is never a problem, because the rest of the<br />
world knows enough English to get by. Just as the<br />
Greek language of Alexander the Great provided a<br />
basis for trade and the exchange of ideas for more than<br />
500 years in the Mediterranean basin, English has<br />
become the new “world language.”<br />
Twelve years ago when I came to <strong>Union</strong>, the World<br />
Wide Web was in its infancy. Now you can do anything<br />
with the Web except fry an egg, but even that<br />
will happen. Our daughter was in Oxford this fall and<br />
we spoke to her every night over the internet instead of<br />
the traditional telephone. Technology has changed the<br />
way we do almost everything.<br />
When I graduated from high school, college education<br />
was a luxury but not a necessity. We had plenty of good<br />
jobs in industry and other sectors that provided solid<br />
middle class incomes and opportunities for advancement.<br />
That situation has gone the way of the dial telephone.<br />
In a world of rapid change, international corporations,<br />
global competition and limited resources, America<br />
has lost much of its industrial base.<br />
Corporate America and Washington have bet that<br />
our future lies with technology and savvy. In the new<br />
global climate, the next generation of Americans<br />
need all the education they can possible acquire, or<br />
they will lose out in the surge of competition. China<br />
and India can do technology in addition to industry.<br />
In the end, the worldview that created the West will<br />
be our greatest advantage in the creative<br />
competition between nations.<br />
Of course, in the future, we may<br />
not see the same kind of competition<br />
between “nations” that<br />
we have seen in the past. We<br />
can learn from the past and<br />
recognize certain patterns<br />
about human behavior,<br />
but the future is always<br />
different from the past.<br />
Thinking about what the<br />
world will be like in the<br />
future involves more than<br />
crystal ball gazing. The future<br />
is always a result of concrete<br />
actions taken in the present that<br />
produce a result for good or ill.<br />
Thinking about the future on a global<br />
scale involves understanding the differences<br />
between what people believe and value. If we assume that<br />
every worldview promotes or desires democracy, we will<br />
continue to have dismal foreign policy experiences in the<br />
Middle East and other places.<br />
World history has often been driven by conflict<br />
between enemies, but in an increasingly complex<br />
world in which financial markets never close, those<br />
who have the wisdom to craft beneficial relationships<br />
across cultural boundaries have the opportunity to<br />
lead the direction of the emerging global culture.<br />
Christians stepped forward during the collapse of the<br />
ancient classical culture to craft the medieval culture<br />
and they repeated this feat during the collapse of the<br />
Middle Ages as they crafted the Modern Age. Once<br />
again we have a remarkable opportunity as we think<br />
globally about the future.<br />

As a college junior, I studied human<br />
cadaver anatomy for my minor in<br />
biology. The course was one of the<br />
most rigorous and intense in the curriculum,<br />
and I was greatly intimidated by it.<br />
As the semester began, I attended a<br />
Bible study where the speaker encouraged<br />
us to study devotionally, to pray<br />
that we would learn about God as we<br />
learned our subject matter. What he meant was that<br />
we should not divide up our time into “learning about<br />
God” and “not learning about God,” but rather understand<br />
that there is no part of creation, including intellectual<br />
pursuits, that is not able to help us to<br />
understand God more clearly. Such a<br />
view means that we learn from subjects,<br />
not about them.<br />
I did just that: I prayed<br />
each day as I headed to the<br />
lab, and I looked for ways<br />
to learn devotionally. I<br />
passed the class (no<br />
small feat), but I also<br />
learned so much about<br />
the providence of God<br />
that is found in the<br />
human body. The beautiful<br />
strength of the wrist’s<br />
bones and sinews. The precision<br />
of the angle of the foramen<br />
magnum, where the spinal<br />
cord enters the base of skull. The delicacy<br />
of membranes within the chest cavity.<br />
I fell in love with the idea that I could worship<br />
God even as I studied my subject matter.<br />
Years later, I realized that what I was doing was exploring<br />
the lordship of Christ over all areas of knowledge. I<br />
switched academic fields, to literature and writing, but I<br />
saw God’s fingerprints throughout every area of intellectual<br />
pursuit. I began to discover the brilliant Christian<br />
intellectual tradition that permeates the Western tradition,<br />
the sturdy shoulders of godly giants upon<br />
which I myself might stand as a teacher-scholar.<br />
As my career has developed, I’ve come to appreciate<br />
how my faith provides a foundation to the actual<br />
methodologies I employ. I am aware that I think differently<br />
because I believe differently. Sometimes this<br />
means that I am at odds with the more secular parts<br />
of the academy, but it also means that I must place<br />
the lordship of Christ over and above all else.<br />
Loving God with our minds means that we “take<br />
every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” (2<br />
Corinthians 10:5). Such obedience employs Christ as<br />
its ultimate standard of measurement and foundational<br />
framework for thought rather than any manmade<br />
system.<br />
This obedience, though, also results in a Christ-like<br />
attitude of relational service. As Philippians 2:5-11<br />
reminds us, Christ emptied himself of his royal privileges<br />
in order to take on the form of a humble servant. Such a<br />
model provides us with a further means of loving God<br />
with our minds: serving as a channel of blessings and<br />
grace to our world.<br />
When we seek to follow after<br />
Christ’s urging, in Mark 12:29-<br />
31, to love God and love our<br />
neighbors, we find that loving<br />
God with our minds is<br />
inextricably linked to loving<br />
our neighbors.<br />
When engineers travel<br />
to North Africa to work<br />
on clean water projects,<br />
their humanitarian engineering<br />
is a means of<br />
loving God and others<br />
with their minds. When<br />
political scientists work in<br />
Washington, D.C., to help bring<br />
integrity and godly influence to that<br />
important sphere of our society, they are<br />
doing the same. When sociologists develop<br />
strategies to strengthen families, or artists implement aesthetically<br />
significant ventures, or scientists discover new<br />
solutions to old problems, then God is glorified and<br />
humanity is blessed.<br />
When most people take an academic course, their<br />
goal is to learn about the subject matter, to accumulate<br />
a set of information or skills. Such an attitude in<br />
fact treats knowledge as an end unto itself. When we<br />
learn to love God with our minds, we learn from the<br />
subject matter in order to learn about God and to<br />
serve others. This means that our purpose is not relegated<br />
to being a repository but rather a conduit, a<br />
channel through which Christ’s grace can effect its<br />
world-changing purpose. Such an attitude toward<br />
learning is truly distinctive, and it’s the kind of attitude<br />
we as Christians should demonstrate.<br />

In 1971, John Lennon wrote a hymn for the<br />
secularist faith. The song, “Imagine,” fantasized<br />
about the state of world affairs if everyone<br />
were stripped of all beliefs and prejudices<br />
– with the notable exception, of course, of the<br />
former Beatle’s favorites.<br />
“Imagine there’s no heaven,” sang Lennon,<br />
It’s easy if you try<br />
No hell below us<br />
Above us only sky<br />
Imagine all the people<br />
Living for today …<br />
Imagine there’s no countries<br />
It isn’t hard to do<br />
Nothing to kill or die for<br />
And no religion too<br />
Imagine all the people<br />
Living life in peace …<br />
Now while there is certainly nothing wrong with<br />
peace, love and understanding, the evidence suggests that<br />
Lennon’s dream world would in fact turn out to be a<br />
nightmare. That’s the conclusion of historical and sociological<br />
studies from two of America’s leading scholars:<br />
Rodney Stark, then from the <strong>University</strong> of Washington,<br />
and Samuel P. Huntington from Harvard.<br />
Without any collusion, they have both<br />
found that the animating features that<br />
have made the West great – modern<br />
science, medicine, democracy<br />
and its attending freedoms<br />
– were the products<br />
of irreducibly Christian<br />
thinking derived from<br />
central biblical traditions.<br />
In his 2004 book<br />
“Who Are We?”<br />
Huntington, arguably the<br />
most respected political<br />
scientist of our time, contends<br />
that the United States<br />
in particular faces a national<br />
identity crisis. What was the<br />
original identity? Beginning with<br />
G. K. Chesterton’s analysis of America<br />
as “a nation with the soul of a church,”<br />
Huntington lists the following traits as explanatory of<br />
America’s success and global appeal: the English language;<br />
Christianity; religious commitment; English<br />
concepts of the rule of law; the responsibility of rulers,<br />
and the rights of individuals; and dissenting Protestant<br />
values of individualism, the work ethic and the belief<br />
that humans have the ability and the duty to try to<br />
create a heaven on earth, a “city on a hill.” Historically,<br />
millions of immigrants were attracted to America<br />
because of this culture and the economic opportunities<br />
it helped to make possible.<br />
In sum, the Harvard professor avers, it is the Anglo-<br />
Protestant culture that arose from scriptural foundations<br />
that made the United States great. Attempts to undermine<br />
this tradition, whether one ethnically arose from this context<br />
or not, he argues, are a misguided and dangerous<br />
social experiment which could unhinge the entire project.<br />
In a similar manner, sociologist Stark tackles the secularist’s<br />
mantra that serious Christianity inhibits progress.<br />
This, Stark argues in his book, “For the Glory of God:<br />
How Monotheism led to Reformations, Science, Witch<br />
Hunts, and the End of Slavery,” is pure myth.<br />
To the contrary, for example, he demonstrates with<br />
lucid historical detail that “science could only arise in a<br />
culture dominated by belief in a conscious, rational,<br />
all-powerful Creator.” Further, against the charge that<br />
orthodox Christianity is inherently repressive, he<br />
makes the case that while believers have sometimes<br />
behaved horribly toward others (i.e., witch hunts and<br />
inquisitions), only people who believed<br />
“that slavery was an abomination in<br />
the eyes of God” were poised to<br />
defy the evil. “It was that conclusion,”<br />
writes Stark, “and<br />
only that conclusion, that<br />
enabled the West to abolish<br />
slavery.” The fear of<br />
God, in other words,<br />
means freedom for men.<br />
Imagine a world without<br />
the Bible, without<br />
Christians and without<br />
God? That is truly a frightening<br />
thought. It would<br />
mean more slavery, far fewer<br />
freedoms and unchecked disease.<br />
Without the moral restraints<br />
inspired by God’s people, the world<br />
would no doubt be an unthinkably worse place<br />
to live. Even a self-professed relativist can appreciate<br />
that. All those who love liberty, or so it would seem,<br />
have a vested interest in the continued influence and<br />
vitality of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.<br />

In “Renewing Minds,” <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
President David S. Dockery addresses,<br />
among other topics, the issue of cultural<br />
engagement.<br />
Specifically, Dockery writes that one<br />
goal of a Christian university should be<br />
to “influence society in a redemptive<br />
way without imposing our viewpoint<br />
through worldly power.”<br />
But what does that look like?<br />
A common trend in evangelicalism in<br />
recent years has been for Christian professionals<br />
in such fields as art, politics, communications<br />
and literature to contribute to<br />
a Christian sub-culture, complete with<br />
“Christian” art, “Christian” music,<br />
“Christian” books, and so on.<br />
That’s not what Dockery had in mind<br />
when he talks about the importance of<br />
Christians engaging their culture.<br />
“We do not believe that our primary<br />
responsibility and focus as educators is to<br />
denounce the fallen ways of culture though<br />
we do believe that one way we engage society<br />
is through God-centered cultural analysis,”<br />
Dockery writes. “Yet I believe we need<br />
to concentrate our efforts on a more constructive<br />
approach, focusing on ways that we<br />
can with excellence produce quality art, outstanding<br />
literature, great music, and<br />
respectable scholarship grounded in the liberal<br />
arts tradition while developing servant leaders<br />
who as change agents can manifest what it<br />
means to be salt and light in our society.”<br />
In short, Dockery is calling for Christian<br />
institutions like <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> to produce<br />
“roaring lambs,” to borrow a phrase<br />
from author Bob Briner. These students<br />
will make positive contributions to the<br />
culture, and therefore honor God, not<br />
by withdrawing from it into the safety of<br />
a Christian sub-culture, but by pursuing<br />
their calling and doing their work with<br />
excellence.<br />
“You’re doing art just for beauty’s sake<br />
and for the fact that it’s a good thing to<br />
create stuff, and if anyone is influenced by<br />
that toward the faith, then that’s gravy,” said<br />
Kirby Atkins (’91).<br />
Atkins was an animator for the movie<br />
“Jimmy Neutron,” then directed some of<br />
the television shows that followed the<br />
movie. He has also worked with Big Idea<br />
Productions and is now at work on an animated<br />
movie that he wrote.<br />
“Christians can’t just react to what the<br />
world makes,” Atkins said. “We’ve got to<br />
make our own stuff. And it needs to be<br />
good. It’s got to come from an honest place,<br />
and then it sort of has a natural, organic<br />
way of affecting people.<br />
“If you’re good at what you do, people<br />
are going to be drawn toward your point of<br />
view,” he continued. “And if your point of<br />
view is a Christian point of view, then they<br />
get to entertain thoughts that they don’t<br />
normally entertain, and that’s always good.”<br />
The idea of Christians influencing people<br />
simply by the way they do their work is a<br />
concept that <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> art professor<br />
Lee Benson regularly communicates<br />
to his art students.<br />
“We talk a lot about how<br />
the number one thing<br />
is the life you live in front of someone,”<br />
Benson said. “It’s not what you say but<br />
what you do. It’s how you live your life,<br />
whether it’s picking up a piece of trash in<br />
the studio even though you didn’t throw it<br />
down, to helping someone in need. Those<br />
kinds of issues are integral parts of our<br />
classroom everyday.”<br />
Benson’s daughter-in-law, Allison Benson<br />
(’07) has taken that instruction to heart.<br />
Allison and her husband, Aaron, served as<br />
interns over the summer at the Anderson<br />
Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village,<br />
Colo. Anderson Ranch is a prestigious<br />
learning community that provides artists<br />
with the opportunity to study under professional<br />
and world-renowned artists.<br />
The atmosphere is far from what could<br />
be considered “Christian,” as Allison said<br />
she and Aaron were probably the only<br />
Christians working there. So Allison said<br />
she did her best to demonstrate the difference<br />
Jesus Christ had made in her life by<br />
the way she conducted herself. That<br />
involved displaying a genuine love for her<br />
husband, not gossiping when others in the<br />
office were insulting the boss, staying positive,<br />
encouraging her coworkers and<br />
being friendly at all times, even when it<br />
wasn’t easy.<br />
It also involved speaking<br />
with people about Jesus<br />
Christ when the conversations<br />
veered that way.<br />
“We just really seized<br />
every opportunity to<br />
talk about our faith,”<br />
she said. “This summer<br />
really opened<br />
my eyes to how<br />
much it comes<br />
down to relationships<br />
with these<br />
people.”<br />
<strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
political science professor<br />
Micah Watson<br />
points to civil rights<br />
activist Martin Luther<br />
King Jr. and Human Genome Project leader<br />
Francis Collins as examples that Christians<br />
can follow when it comes to living a<br />
Christian life in the public sphere.<br />
King wasn’t embarrassed about his role as<br />
a minister, Watson said, and he wasn’t concerned<br />
only with the welfare of other<br />
Christians – but with society as a whole.<br />
Collins, meanwhile, though controversial<br />
because he’s a theistic evolutionist, is an<br />
unapologetic evangelical.<br />
“He is someone who has unquestioned excellence<br />
in his science, and sees no contradiction<br />
or problem with that affecting his faith,”<br />
Watson said. “He thinks that science actually<br />
enhances his faith and they work together.”<br />
To be effective in the culture, Watson<br />
said Christians can learn much from following<br />
the Apostle Paul’s address to the<br />
Athenians.<br />
“He finds a point of common ground,<br />
and then he uses that to build to his argument,”<br />
Watson said.<br />
For J. Mark Bertrand (’91), author of the<br />
new book “Rethinking Worldview:<br />
Learning to Think, Live, and Speak in This<br />
World,” Christians who withdraw from the<br />
culture to build their own institutions that<br />
run by their own rules are showing that they<br />
really don’t love the culture to begin with.<br />
“It’s not about withdrawing from the culture,<br />
tooling up and then going back to assault the<br />
culture,” Bertrand said. “It’s really about being<br />
within the culture and building things that<br />
contribute positively to the culture.”<br />
Bertrand said that evangelical Christians<br />
need to rediscover the truth of the dignity<br />
of labor – that a job done honestly and with<br />
skill brings honor and glory to God. He<br />
added that it’s important for Christians to<br />
realize they don’t bear the responsibility for<br />
single-handedly redeeming the culture.<br />
“Each of us in a very small way is a part<br />
of something larger that God is doing in<br />
the culture,” Bertrand said. “It really is God<br />
working in the culture, not us coming up<br />
with a way to allow God to work in the culture.<br />
Cultural engagement is not waiting on<br />
us to evolve the right theology of culture.”<br />

Sports Hall of Fame Inductees<br />
The induction of five new members and<br />
a special recognition for one of <strong>Union</strong>’s<br />
most successful basketball teams highlighted<br />
the Sports Hall of Fame ceremonies at<br />
Homecoming 2007 in early November.<br />
The new inductees are M.C. Joyner (’36,<br />
posthumously), Buford Matlock (’50), Jeff<br />
Richey (’66), Michelle Street-Czapp (’97)<br />
and Luis Ortiz (’04).<br />
1 Joyner competed in football, basketball<br />
and boxing while a student at <strong>Union</strong>. He<br />
was captain of the 1934 and 1935 football<br />
teams. An injury prevented Joyner from<br />
playing for the New York Giants, who drafted<br />
him. Joyner became a highly successful<br />
high school coach and frequently hosted<br />
recruiting visits from former <strong>Union</strong> assistant<br />
coach Paul “Bear” Bryant. Joyner also had a<br />
distinguished military career in the U.S.<br />
Army, serving during World War II at<br />
Remagen Bridge and “The Battle of the<br />
Bulge.” He and his wife Frances had three<br />
children. He died in 1972.<br />
2 Matlock also played football for <strong>Union</strong>,<br />
starting every game all four years. He went<br />
on to a distinguished teaching and coaching<br />
career with Jackson City Schools. He has<br />
also been inducted into the Jackson-<br />
Madison County Sports Hall of Fame. He<br />
and his wife Bernice recently celebrated<br />
their 60th wedding anniversary with two<br />
children and six grandchildren.<br />
3 Richey led the Bulldogs to their first-ever<br />
conference title in 1964-65, earning conference<br />
Most Valuable Player titles for two years. He led<br />
the team in rebounding, assists and scoring for<br />
three seasons. Richey still holds the <strong>Union</strong><br />
record for free throws in a season (231) and free<br />
throw percentage (88.5%). He is the only<br />
<strong>Union</strong> player ever drafted into the former<br />
American Basketball Association. He and his<br />
wife Carol live in Carrier Mills, Ill.<br />
4 Street-Czapp averaged 15.1 points and<br />
9.4 rebounds per game in 1994-95 to lead<br />
the Lady Bulldogs. She was named to Dick<br />
Vitale’s All-America Team, the Kodak All-<br />
America team and the NAIA All-America<br />
squad. Her jersey, #00, was retired at <strong>Union</strong>,<br />
and she was also elected to the Gibson<br />
County Sports Hall of Fame. She and her<br />
husband Jerry live in LaVergne, Tenn.<br />
5 As a junior at <strong>Union</strong>, Ortiz was drafted in<br />
the eighth round by the Boston Red Sox. He<br />
followed his days on the Bulldog baseball team<br />
with 14 professional seasons, including several<br />
at the major league level. But Ortiz came back<br />
to <strong>Union</strong> to finish his education, and became<br />
the first native of the Dominican Republic to<br />
both play in the majors and complete a college<br />
degree. He now owns a baseball instructional<br />
facility in Keller, Texas. He and his wife Susan<br />
have four daughters.<br />
6 A special citation went to the Bulldog<br />
Basketball team of 1967-68, which completed<br />
a stellar 22-3 record. Two of the three losses<br />
were to Memphis State (now the <strong>University</strong><br />
of Memphis) and Kentucky Wesleyan, the<br />
eventual small college national champion that<br />
year. Among the team members: Ed Braly,<br />
who went from a bench player to an All-<br />
Tournament selection; Dan Rudesill, a conference<br />
MVP; and Lonnie Searcy, the first<br />
African-American ever to play basketball for<br />
<strong>Union</strong>. Bill Henry was the Bulldog head<br />
coach, with Bobby Carter as assistant coach.<br />
Alumni honorees<br />
Five were honored during Homecoming<br />
ceremonies as outstanding <strong>Union</strong> alumni.<br />
The Distinguished Alumnus Award<br />
went to Rev. Reginald “Reggie” Thomas (’85);<br />
the Distinguised Service award to Charles<br />
Millican (’41); the Distinguished Faculty/ Staff<br />
Award to Gary Carter, (’75); Honorary Alumna<br />
Award to Heather Olford; and Outstanding<br />
Young Achiever to Russell Hilton (’02).<br />

senior pastor, director of missions and a<br />
denominational worker in the Southern<br />
Baptist Convention for more than 20 years.<br />
He has mastered cross-cultural and team<br />
building skills that allow him to be persuasive<br />
in a way that motivates others.<br />
“Reggie” graduated from <strong>Union</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> with a Bachelor of Arts degree; a<br />
Master of Divinity degree from Southwestern<br />
Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth,<br />
Texas, and is a candidate for the Doctor of<br />
Ministry degree from Fuller Theological<br />
Seminary, Pasadena, Calif., with an anticipated<br />
date of graduation in 2009.<br />
8 Millican was the founding president of the<br />
<strong>University</strong> of Central Florida and in 1993 was<br />
named president emeritus of the institution.<br />
The university opened in the fall of 1968 with<br />
an enrollment of 1,496 students. The fall 2007<br />
enrollment is 48,897 – making UCF the sixth<br />
largest university in the nation.<br />
Millican also led efforts to establish the university-related<br />
Central Florida Research Park,<br />
which opened in 1982. The park is one of the<br />
top 10 research parks in the United States, with<br />
116 firms and more than 10,000 employees.<br />

this time that she met Stephen Olford.<br />
Heather and Stephen were married in 1948<br />
and together they continued to minister through<br />
crusades and Christian Life Conventions.<br />
After serving in the pastorate for a combined<br />
twenty years, the Olford’s, along with their son,<br />
David, founded Olford Ministries International<br />
and the Stephen Olford Center for Biblical<br />
Preaching in Memphis. The Olfords’ served<br />
side by side educating and ministering to pastors<br />
and lay leaders from around the world until<br />
Stephen’s death in 2004.<br />
In addition to her sons and their<br />
wives, Ms. Heather enjoys spending time with<br />
her five grandchildren and continues to live<br />
on the campus of the Stephen Olford Center<br />
at <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />

FACULTYPROFILE<br />
Don and Marjorie Richard<br />
By Sarah McBroom (’09)<br />
After serving in the military for 23 years, Don Richard<br />
and his wife, Marjorie, came to <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> in 1983.<br />
“I retired from the military as a lieutenant colonel on a<br />
Friday,” Don said. “Then, I came to <strong>Union</strong> to work as a math<br />
professor the following Monday.”<br />
Marjorie followed Don to <strong>Union</strong> in January 1984 as a worker<br />
in College Services, now called <strong>University</strong> Services. She retired in<br />
December 2006.<br />
The Richards enjoy attending <strong>Union</strong> events, such as plays, lectures<br />
and athletic events. The couple also plays string music and<br />
has played in music groups for university productions, such as<br />
the “Cotton Patch Gospel.”<br />
Both agree <strong>Union</strong> has grown since coming here in 1983.<br />
“The quality of education and spiritual values have always<br />
been foremost,” Don said.<br />
Marjorie agreed, also adding that <strong>Union</strong> has grown from being<br />
a small school.<br />
“When we came here, it was a small, regional, Christian<br />
college,” Marjorie said. “It is a well-respected and<br />
well-known campus.”<br />

By Sarah McBroom (’09)<br />
Erin Brassart discovered <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> when she was<br />
researching colleges in high school. After visiting the university,<br />
Brassart decided <strong>Union</strong> was the right place for her.<br />
“I found it to be so friendly and more like a family,” Brassart said.<br />
During her time at <strong>Union</strong>, Brassart said her English professors<br />
have been incredibly challenging and have caused her to think<br />
about several issues.<br />
“At <strong>Union</strong>, they allow us to explore literature and explore writing<br />
with a Christian worldview,” Brassart said. “They really challenge<br />
us to think about how certain things affect life.”<br />
Brassart also said <strong>Union</strong> has provided her with several leadership<br />
opportunities, such as serving as secretary on the executive<br />
board of the Student Government Association.<br />
“I’ve seen myself grow so much in my ability to become an<br />
independent thinking person through classes, and also being<br />
involved with different opportunities here,” Brassart said.<br />
“<strong>Union</strong>’s faculty really cares about me as an individual and helping<br />
me grow and become who I need to be.”<br />
Brassart hopes to teach English overseas after graduation.<br />

Cynthia Todd Graham (’89)<br />
Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center • Memphis, Tenn.<br />
Cynthia Todd Graham is the director of Corporations and<br />
Foundations for Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center.<br />
Currently she is in the midst of a $100 million capital campaign<br />
to build a new hospital in Memphis.<br />
“I love doing fund raising – it’s a lot of fun,” says Graham. “I like<br />
telling the Le Bonheur story and helping people do what they want<br />
with their money in the right and ethical way.<br />
She credits her <strong>Union</strong> education for providing the “academic and<br />
spiritual backbone” to do solid, ethical fund raising.<br />
“I don’t make promises to donors that can’t be fulfilled. My work<br />
needs to be pleasing to God. I learned that from <strong>Union</strong> and my<br />
upbringing,” says Graham.<br />
At the time of her undergraduate work, <strong>Union</strong> didn’t offer<br />
Graham’s major, so she completed her senior year at the <strong>University</strong> of<br />
Memphis. Although she wasn’t able to graduate from here, she has a<br />
great <strong>Union</strong> loyalty and appreciation.<br />
“<strong>Union</strong> was the greatest place in the world for,” says Graham. “I<br />
met the nicest and best people. <strong>Union</strong> felt comfortable from the moment<br />
I walked in the door – it was where I was supposed to be. I realize I didn’t<br />
fully appreciate that time with students and faculty until I left.”<br />

Bob and Sarah Starnes know that <strong>Union</strong> is the right place for their<br />
son Brock. While he was in high school, <strong>Union</strong> started a relationship<br />
with Brock that was more than recruiting.<br />
“There was an investment made in his life early on by those talking<br />
to him,” says Bob. “The relationship was more than how great are you<br />
academically. But instead what can you offer the university and what<br />
can the university offer you. Brock began to see <strong>Union</strong> as a special place.”<br />
Relationships and real community make <strong>Union</strong> a good fit for Brock.<br />
“Through relationships with professors, he sees a passion in<br />
the manner in which they teach,” says Bob. “And passion in how<br />
they conduct and live their lives.”<br />
“There is real community here that invests in my child’s life.<br />
He grows in faith and academically. He is helped to reach as far<br />
as he wants to,” says Sarah. “That has spurred Brock to desire<br />
deeper relationships and not be just a person with a lot of<br />
acquaintances.”<br />
The Starnes encourage parents to seek out the right place for<br />
their children. They caution not to let money dictate college choice.<br />
“Know your child,” they say. “Those four years at a university are<br />
very formative. In realizing that, we found <strong>Union</strong> to be the best place.”<br />

Major: Vocal Performance (Music)<br />
Year: Junior Hometown: Jackson, Tenn.<br />
By Sarah McBroom (’09)<br />
Kevin Isbell was a little unsure about going to a college in his<br />
hometown.<br />
Isbell, a native of Jackson, Tenn., thought college would<br />
be a good time to explore a new place.<br />
“I wanted to get away and do something different,” Isbell said.<br />
However, after much prayer and consideration, Isbell decided<br />
<strong>Union</strong> was the right place for him.<br />
“<strong>Union</strong> opens doors to students who desire to serve God and<br />
allow him to work in their lives,” he said.<br />
Isbell said his professors at <strong>Union</strong> have challenged him and<br />
helped him grow as a person, spiritually and academically, during<br />
his time as a student.<br />
“You’re pushed to your limits as a student here,” Isbell said.<br />
“You find out you can do stuff you never thought you could do,<br />
and you’re stretched and challenged.”<br />
Isbell hopes to attend graduate school after college, and then use his<br />
music degree to teach vocal lessons at the collegiate level or perform.<br />

Jeff Perkins lists his Christ-based, <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong> education<br />
as one of his many blessings. As a business major, Perkins<br />
found the spiritual and ethical emphasis to be primary.<br />
“Professors were always tying their teaching back to the Bible<br />
and Christian living,” says Perkins. “I appreciated that approach<br />
and that it continues.”<br />
Today the couple’s oldest son Jakob is a <strong>Union</strong> marketing<br />
major. They are confident that he is receiving the same quality,<br />
Christ-centered education that Jeff did.<br />
There is a family history of support for Christian higher education.<br />
Jeff’s father-in-law, Jack Porter, has served as a <strong>Union</strong> trustee.<br />
The Wendell Wayne Perkins Scholarship fund was established in<br />
honor of his father, a West Tennessee pastor and <strong>Union</strong> alum.<br />
“It’s a blessing to know that children are going to a university with<br />
a focus on Christ,” says Perkins. “There are many good students who<br />
deserve opportunities for a <strong>Union</strong> education.<br />
“It’s an exceptional way to invest. In my business I invest in products<br />
like okra, green peppers and egg plants. Think of how blessed to support<br />
an institution that changes the world by the product it is producing:<br />
Strong Christian men and women who are making a difference.”<br />

<strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s campus had a much different look when James<br />
Eaves served on <strong>Union</strong>’s board of trustees during the 1960s.<br />
“(Some of) the proposed acreage for a new campus was Spragins<br />
Peach Orchard,” says Eaves, “as I recall, rather famous, great-tasting peaches.”<br />
The land purchase set plans into motion for <strong>Union</strong>’s move north<br />
from the downtown area. Eaves assumed the responsibility of overseeing<br />
the construction of all campus buildings except the residence halls.<br />
To accommodate a close-knit Christian learning community,<br />
Penick Academic Complex was designed for everything under one<br />
roof: Classrooms, dining, library, bookstore, athletics and administration.<br />
“What a thrill to see <strong>Union</strong>’s development,” says Eaves. “It was<br />
a great time in my life.”<br />
Eaves and his wife Jeane Hillman Eaves (’49) watch <strong>Union</strong>’s<br />
growth and continue to be loyal supporters.<br />
“It’s been 58 years since our graduation, and we have always been<br />
loyal to <strong>Union</strong> and prayed for all who lead and serve there,” says Eaves.<br />
“We praise God for <strong>Union</strong>’s present outstanding, superior<br />
leading role in higher education. <strong>Union</strong> continues to earn our<br />
complete confidence and fill our hearts with real joy.”<br />

<strong>Union</strong> alums release two new books<br />
Jerry Drace (’68) and his wife Becky (’73) announce the release of<br />
two new books. Jerry is author of “44 Ways to Strengthen Your<br />
Marriage” and Becky has written “Becoming a Woman of Worth”.<br />
The books developed out of the ongoing needs and challenges to<br />
the family in today’s society.<br />
“I asked pastors to name their greatest challenge in ministry,” says<br />
Jerry, “and the overwhelming response was a ministry to families.”<br />
In response, the Draces introduced Hope for the Home, a conference<br />
which takes families through a weekend series of messages to<br />
strengthen marriages, communications and parenting.<br />
The Draces are encouraged by the positive response to Hope for the<br />
Home. They continually hear from families who have committed to<br />
reading the Bible together and the difference it is making in their lives.<br />
“Becoming a Woman of Worth” came as a request from Draces’<br />
daughter, Becka.<br />
“When Becka went to <strong>Union</strong>, she asked me to do a Bible study<br />
with her,” says Becky. “I presented her with the published book as<br />
a 20th birthday gift.”<br />
Currently Becky is studying for her social work degree at<br />
<strong>Union</strong>. The Draces’ two children, Drew (’03) and Becka<br />
(’04), are <strong>Union</strong> alums.<br />
