FROMTHEPRESIDENT<br />

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 />

America’s oldest and greatest institutions of higher<br />

and Christian conviction need not be separated. <strong>Union</strong><br />

National publications recognize<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 />

Martha White; Schilling Enterprises,<br />

Harry and Beth Smith; and Black &<br />

Decker Industrial Products Group.<br />

Premier sponsors were Jack and Faye<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 />

Middle: April 2 with Michael Gerson<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 />

<strong>Union</strong> Forum luncheons in recent 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 />

donates $1 million<br />

The gift will be used to establish the<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 />

our schools,” Reynolds said.<br />

The gift from Baptist follows $5 million<br />

in donations to <strong>Union</strong>’s pharmacy<br />

program from West Tennessee Healthcare<br />

and leaders of <strong>Union</strong>’s board of trustees.<br />

The four-year Doctor of Pharmacy<br />

degree program will be led by Sheila<br />

Mitchell, who was named as the<br />

founding dean of the School of<br />

Pharmacy in May.<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 />

20 UNIONITE Winter 2008


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 />

7 Thomas has served as a church planter,<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 />

He and his wife Frances have been married<br />

10 Born to Christian parents in Northern<br />

Ireland, Heather Olford surrendered her life<br />

to Christ as a young age. A gifted pianist,<br />

Heather spent her early ministry years assisting<br />

in worship services for evangelistic crusades<br />

throughout the British Isles. It was during<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 />

11 Hilton graduated from <strong>Union</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />

in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in<br />

Christian Ethics and History. After graduating<br />

from <strong>Union</strong>, Russell served as a social caseworker<br />

at Youth Town in Jackson, Tenn.,<br />

where he provided social services to state custody<br />

juvenile delinquents and co-coordinated<br />

a youth boot camp program.<br />

In May 2007, Russell completed a fouryear<br />

graduate program in Law and Religion at<br />

Emory <strong>University</strong> in Atlanta, receiving his<br />

Juris Doctorate from Emory School of Law<br />

and his Master of Theological Studies from<br />

Candler School of Theology.<br />

In September 2007, Russell began practicing<br />

corporate law in Atlanta at Alston &<br />

Bird, LLP, which was recognized in 2007<br />

by Fortune as the number one law firm in<br />

the nation for which to work. Russell will<br />

concentrate his practice on public and private<br />

company mergers and acquisitions, securities<br />

offerings, SEC compliance and reporting<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 />

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 />
