Dear Friends, That word “momentum” conjures up images of football announcers soberly informing us that this interception or that touchdown run had shifted the momentum of the game from one team to another. Dandy Don Meredith had more fun with the concept, often referring to “mighty Mo” and his effects. We do tend to personalize this concept of a mounting juggernaut or an invisible flywheel. “Momentum” is truly an accurate title for this update to our friends. The last three years have been dynamic, with Schreiner University improving visibly and in less tangible ways as well. We invite you to campus to experience those improvements firsthand. Until you can, we hope this report will give you a glimpse of the ways our campus is becoming more attractive and functional as well as how our people and programs are pushing Schreiner quality ever higher. We would like you to know some of the personalities—students, graduates, faculty and staff—who give vitality and dimension to the Schreiner story. Purposeful change is fundamental to Schreiner’s future. Please read about our new bachelor’s degree in nursing and MBA initiative, as well as our first three signature undergraduate programs. We have embarked this summer on an ambitious three-year technology plan—most of it invisible to the eye—that is already transforming the level of services we can provide and will in time demonstrate how thoroughly at home Schreiner is in the digital world of the 21st century. Do we really address the “whole person” educationally? See how our Mountaineer Fitness Center serves the cause of health and wellness. Burgeoning student participation in our campus ministry programs, in intercollegiate athletics and greetings from the President in small living and learning communities offers other measures of a robust campus life. Please take time to marvel with us at our fine new student residences, Faulkner Residence Hall and the Oaks Apartment Complex. Now it is difficult to remember life without them! We must maintain and even increase our momentum to face the challenges confronting all of American higher education. An arena and event center to serve student-athletes, the campus-atlarge and the community is overdue. We recognize an obligation to serve our students’ spiritual life better through a chapel and worship facilities. Music and theatre programs created a decade ago deserve facilities to support the creative expression now so much a part of campus experience. As we manage the challenge of cost and access, building our endowment resources to support scholarships for deserving students is a necessity. And, always, advancing learning opportunities through talented faculty, vibrant academic programs, creative technology use and engaged learning keeps us free from any temptation to become blasé! We are grateful for all of the ways you encourage us and our students. Our journey is more productive and satisfying because you are part of it. So read and enjoy. Be energized. Be proud that you are a part of the Schreiner story. And believe us when we say, “We’re just getting started!” All the best, C. Tim Summerlin President Momentum 2011 3
