He instead accepteda position as lead designer for a handmadeceramic tile business in New Jersey.In the two years that followed, Hintonapplied for teaching jobs at colleges anduniversities, and he eventually found hisway to <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong>.“I believe that being visually literateis a vital component <strong>of</strong> the liberal artsexperience which <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong><strong>of</strong>fers. I trust the academic freedom Ihave in the classes I teach. After 24 years,I still find this to be an exciting, engagingenvironment in which to work each day,”Hinton said.For 50 semesters, he has challenged,mentored and inspired. He is a favoriteamong students, fondly remembered byalumni, and respected by his colleagues.Win Neagle is chair <strong>of</strong> the division <strong>of</strong>humanities at <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong>.Having worked with Hinton for manyyears, he has witnessed his co-worker’sability to engage students.“Will Hinton is one part genius, onepart saint, and one part madman stuffedinto an <strong>of</strong>fensive lineman’s body,” Neaglesaid. “For a student, he is a life-changingexperience waiting to happen.

ten when standing on the precipice that great acts are achieved. Itpatient and learn from failure, andhe inspired listeners with personalreflections about faith.“I am led by faith to let God be thelight in which I see the world around me.My conception <strong>of</strong> being created in theimage <strong>of</strong> God has nothing whatsoever todo with being a white, male, middle classAmerican. To be created in the image<strong>of</strong> God, for me, refers to forgiveness,humility and faith. <strong>The</strong> only way I canwrap my head around this idea <strong>of</strong> faithis to live a life <strong>of</strong> knowledge, love andacceptance - not one <strong>of</strong> perception,ego and achievement,” Hinton told thecrowd.It is perhaps this concept <strong>of</strong> love andacceptance that has afforded Hinton asuccessful career in higher education -and he is in good company. <strong>The</strong> <strong>College</strong>has been fortunate to have many talentedand dedicated pr<strong>of</strong>essors throughoutits history; and, for an institutionthat promotes its proud tradition <strong>of</strong>transforming lives, faculty members likeHinton are fundamental to this mission.His classroom encourages students touncover places deep inside themselvesas they travel through their academicjourneys. He is a reflection <strong>of</strong> theinstitution’s strong academic traditionand the opportunities the <strong>College</strong>continues to provide for students today.Looking AheadIn 2007, the <strong>College</strong> celebrated its220th birthday. Founders’ Day was heldin February, and festivities included theplacing <strong>of</strong> a commemorative wreath onthe gravesite <strong>of</strong> Matthew Dickinson,the first preceptor <strong>of</strong> the Franklin MaleAcademy.<strong>The</strong> landmark anniversary gives reasonto honor the longevity and historicsignificance <strong>of</strong> the institution, but the<strong>College</strong>’s leaders are also laying out plansfor the school’s future.In his first year at <strong>Louisburg</strong>, PresidentClyburn worked with the board <strong>of</strong>trustees to outline strategic goals for the<strong>College</strong>.<strong>The</strong>se initiatives include pursuingmodel faith-based programs andoutcomes; rewarding quality faculty andestablishing new academic programsand services; attracting academicallyprepared students and achieving abalanced student community throughstrengthened enrollment standards andinitiatives; articulating the value <strong>of</strong> the<strong>College</strong> to constituencies; addressingdeferred building maintenance withhistoric sensitivity; and securing newfunding sources, maintaining financialstability, and focusing on value-addedinvestments.<strong>The</strong> board <strong>of</strong> trustees also approvedthree new concepts to begin with the2008-2009 academic year. <strong>The</strong>se includethe implementation <strong>of</strong> a tobacco-freecampus, a student dress code, andrequired chapel and assembly. <strong>The</strong>new policies will be finalized followingstudent, staff and faculty input and aresubject to trustee review.Amid challenges to strengthen thefinancial stability <strong>of</strong> the <strong>College</strong>, Clyburnhas put the institution on a path that hebelieves will increase revenues, reduceexpenditures, maintain quality, andassure a bright future for the historiccollege.“I am convinced that the <strong>College</strong> ismoving in the right direction, and wewill continue to move forward withgreater efficiency and fiscal health inthe months and years ahead,” Clyburnsaid. “<strong>The</strong> enduring school must havea clearly articulated mission and vision.We have both. Our vision statement isthat <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> will be the modelchurch-related school that preparesstudents for life and service.”<strong>The</strong> School that Transforms Lives<strong>The</strong>re is a phrase that is frequentlyrepeated by <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> alumni.I would not be where I am today if it werenot for <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong>. <strong>The</strong>se wordshave been uttered by doctors, teachers,attorneys, ministers and CEOs. Whilethey reminisce about championshipgames, parties and friends, they alsoremember that <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong>provided them with opportunity.Hinton has a talk that he givesto prospective college students. <strong>The</strong>presentation is about transition, reachinginto the unknown, and growing as acommunity.He gives students large, numberedtiles, and the students work together toarrange them in a giant square on thefloor. Once the task is completed, thetiles are turned over and an entirely newimage is revealed.“Metacognition is a fancy word thatcan mean to change what you know,” hetells students. He assures them that the“renaissance state <strong>of</strong> mind” is alive andwell at <strong>Louisburg</strong>.“<strong>The</strong> <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> experiencewill enable you to gain confidence inyourself. As a faculty member, I makethat commitment to you,” he said. “Each<strong>of</strong> you brings different learning toolsto the table. We will help you sharpenthese tools. We will help you find yourindividual voice.”<strong>The</strong> Power <strong>of</strong> NowIn an increasingly competitive market,colleges and universities vie for theattention <strong>of</strong> savvy student consumers.It’s an aggressive business where wealth<strong>of</strong>ten seems to dominate. Still, <strong>Louisburg</strong><strong>College</strong> endures.For 221 years, the <strong>College</strong> has carriedout its mission <strong>of</strong> providing studentswith a supportive and nurturingcommunity that is rooted in faith andinvites young men and women to learnand grow.Perhaps, it is people that perpetuatethe <strong>College</strong>’s endurance. <strong>The</strong> school isrich with pr<strong>of</strong>essors who inspire studentsto learn, coaches who motivate theirplayers, students who are engaged inthe academic process, and alumni andfriends who give back.In the years ahead, the <strong>College</strong> willcontinue to make transformations <strong>of</strong> itsown in order to secure its place in today’sacademic world.It is <strong>of</strong>ten when standing on theprecipice that great acts are achieved.C O L U M N S 13being visually literate is a vital component <strong>of</strong> the liberal arts experi


Windows for EducationPeer out a window in Main Buildingtoday, and you’ll likely see a studentstrolling along chatting on a cell phone,a group <strong>of</strong> students piling out <strong>of</strong> anSUV, or a jogger listening to an i-pod.Now, picture this scene.Replace the cell phone user with aUnion soldier carrying a Colt revolver.Instead <strong>of</strong> students climbing froman SUV, picture four to five hundredsoldiers in tents across the campus. Inplace <strong>of</strong> the jogger and his i-pod, anarmy surgeon dispensing morphine andquinine.Constructed in 1857, the viewfrom the windows <strong>of</strong> Main Buildinghas changed many times over the last150 years; however, one thing holdstrue. <strong>The</strong> building’s occupants haveconsistently sought the same thing:enlightenment through education. It’sinteresting to imagine the differentscenes <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> students havewatched unfold from their dormrooms. Today, the United MethodistMen want to change the way the schoolviews its future – literally.Windows for Education is a campaign sponsored by the Raleigh District <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> United Methodist Men. <strong>The</strong> campaign seeks to replace 411 windows acrosscampus, many <strong>of</strong> which are in disrepair.President Emeritus Dr. Reginald Ponder is excited about the campaign and the college’s relationship with the United Methodist Men.“<strong>The</strong> four buildings that will receive the new windows provide the historic core <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> campus and need these vital improvements,” Pondersaid. “For nearly forty years, the Raleigh District United Methodist Men have held their annual retreat on the campus <strong>of</strong> <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong>. <strong>The</strong>se men are fullycommitted to the mission <strong>of</strong> <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong>, and they have supported that mission through providing scholarships.”In addition to endowed scholarships, the Raleigh District generously gave to <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> in the 1980s by providing substantial funding for theconstruction <strong>of</strong> Benson Chapel on campus.<strong>The</strong> organization is asking for tax-deductible donations to replace windows in historic campus buildings. A new window may be given in honor or memory <strong>of</strong>a person, class, church or business. A plaque will be prepared for each new window.“<strong>The</strong> Windows for Education project is a continuation <strong>of</strong> the important partnership between <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> and the Raleigh District United MethodistMen,” Ponder said.<strong>The</strong> windows will be new, as will be the scenes that take place outside them. One can only imagine what future <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> students will peer out theirwindows and see in years to come.MAKE A DONATION TO THE UNITED METHODIST MEN’SWINDOWS FOR EDUCATION CAMPAIGNIf you would like more information about the campaign, or would like to make a contribution,please contact Vance Miller at 919-467-6934.Donations can be mailed to Bill Shuler, 5105 Deer Lake Trail, Wake Forest, NC 2758714 C O L U M N S
