Hhh eart and soul…we can’t<br />
hsay the words without<br />
thinking of the old song,<br />
but what do the words<br />
really mean? The heart is both the<br />
metaphorical center of love and the<br />
literal organ that keeps the life’s blood<br />
flowing. The soul is the eternal part of<br />
us and metaphorically the source of deep<br />
feeling. All of those connotations reverberate with those of us who<br />
love <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> when we see the smiling faces between the<br />
covers of this issue. For years students’ lives and minds have been<br />
touched by these wonderful professors, and two of them were even<br />
students with many of you once. They share a deep understanding<br />
of the heart and soul of <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> because they know her<br />
history and traditions and they believe in her future.<br />
In this issue, in which we recognize and thank those of you who<br />
provided the life’s blood of the <strong>College</strong> as donors, it is appropriate<br />
that we celebrate these professors and people like Cornelia<br />
Rickenbacker Freeman ’33, who know that the proud history of<br />
<strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> can only be protected by a strong present and an<br />
even stronger future. Your gifts are what make that possible.<br />
As we move into Phase II of our Re-visioning, we are exploring<br />
new program and partnership ideas that will prepare today’s students<br />
to take their places as tomorrow’s leaders and to exemplify the<br />
traditional strength of <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> women. Just as Cornelia<br />
Freeman has been the heart and soul of the arts community for many<br />
years, we expect tomorrow’s students to provide the spirit to energize<br />
the world of the future. Whether they share art learned with Steve<br />
Nevitt, language and literature studied with Mike Broome and Sandra<br />
O’Neal, drama experienced through the teaching of Sara Nalley<br />
’63, or human relations explored with Elaine Kirby Ferraro ’70 as<br />
a guide, we expect them to leave their marks on their world. These<br />
professors, who have given many years to the <strong>College</strong> they love, have<br />
been joined by newer professors in many disciplines who are equally<br />
committed to challenging and inspiring tomorrow’s leaders.<br />
Your endorsement of the commitment of these wonderful people<br />
through your gifts honors our past and secures our future. We thank<br />
you with all our hearts and souls.<br />

HThe<br />
eart and Soul of<br />
<strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
Dr. Michael Broome<br />
Stackhouse Associate<br />
Professor of English,<br />
Head, Division of Languages<br />
and Literatures<br />
These days, a person stays in a<br />
job an average of seven years,<br />
so Mike Broome feels like a bit of<br />
an anachronism. With 33 years of<br />
<strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> service, he says<br />
it doesn’t seem possible that he’s<br />
bearing down on his retirement.<br />
As an undergraduate, Broome<br />
recalls that he changed his major from<br />
accounting to English as a sophomore at the<br />
University of Chattanooga: “I had a couple of professors there<br />
who are among the best teachers I had ever seen.” Their traits<br />
included a mastery of subject matter and obvious focus on<br />
preparation--far before the internet age, he points out--and<br />
they were excellent lecturers. In addition, they showed a true<br />
concern for students.<br />
Broome continues, “When I was a sophomore, I<br />
wrote an explication of a poem for the man who became my<br />
most significant mentor in my professional life. The explication<br />
was for a John Crowe Ransom poem called ‘Janet Waking,’<br />
and I submitted what I thought was just simply wonderful.<br />
When I received my paper back, my professor had written more<br />
in red ink on it than I had typed, and there was a note at the<br />
bottom that said, ‘Mr. Broome, please make an appointment<br />
with my secretary to see me.’ Well, I was scared. I went to see<br />
Professor Connor, and he systematically and very effectively<br />
raked me and my paper over the coals. And then he said,<br />
‘Broome, when are you going to come to your senses and<br />
major in English!’” Broome took his advice, and over the next<br />
two years realized that he wanted to be like Professor Connor<br />
and his colleagues: “I wasn’t sure I was smart enough, but<br />
I admired them enough to try.” He chose to announce his<br />
decision to change his major from accounting to English at a<br />
family cookout and remembers, “My Uncle Jake pulled my dad<br />
aside and said ‘Red, what’s he gonna do to make a living?’<br />
That’s probably a common reaction to similar pronouncements<br />
by liberal arts majors. I have no doubt that had I stuck with<br />
accounting, I would have made more money,” he laughs, “but<br />
rather than choosing a strictly vocational path, I developed and<br />
share an appreciation for values and principles that have been<br />
important as civilizing agents since the beginning of recorded<br />
history. That’s the value of a liberal arts education.”<br />
Dr. Jerry Savory, Dr. Bill Mishoe, Dr. Sara Mott, Dr.<br />
Harris Parker and Dr. William Butler are among the faculty<br />
whom Broome remembers as important figures in his early<br />
teaching career. “Bob Barham [the former vice president of<br />
finance] means a lot to me, too. He was a mentor, and we had<br />
Army Reserve service in common--at one point he was signing<br />
both my paychecks,” he laughs. He adds, “I remember leaving<br />
my <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> job interview thinking, ‘If I could work for<br />
that person, it might be a little bit like heaven….I had just met<br />
Reverend R. Wright Spears.’<br />
“When I came to <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>, the English<br />
department was housed in the only remaining part of the Old<br />
Main building that had survived the fire of ’64. It stood where<br />
the Spears Music/Art Center is now. I talk about being a<br />
‘bridge person’ because when I came here, Dr. James Milton<br />
“Doc” Ariail, long retired, still tottered across Colonial Drive<br />
to check his mail each day. We stood on the creaking boards<br />
near his desk under a stairwell and would chat a little bit as he<br />
methodically opened his mail with a cigarette dangling from his<br />
lips, ashes dripping down his tie. He was just great, an icon<br />
of a golden age. So I knew him the last couple years of his<br />
life. Bridging eras, I’ve transitioned with the department, now<br />
division, with a group of wonderful, professional scholars and<br />
teachers. I know Doc Ariail and Jerry Savory would be proud of<br />
where this department has come.”<br />
“<strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> has meant to me my life and my<br />
livelihood, and it has also given me my wife,” says Broome.<br />
Charlotte Stackhouse Broome ’75 majored in music education<br />
and she and Broome met when she later worked for the<br />
<strong>College</strong>: “Charlotte and I share our love of art and letters, and<br />
it’s part of our daily conversation, or evening debriefing, whether<br />
we’re chatting about books we’re reading, music, or a film we’ve<br />
seen. It may sound trite, but our liberal arts backgrounds have<br />
enriched our lives in ways we can’t fully measure.”<br />
Broome remains in touch with a number of his former<br />
students and readily names several who teach at all levels,<br />
who are business executives, lawyers, ministers, children’s<br />
book authors and novelists. And he’s proud to have taught<br />
the daughters of former students. “I was the faculty advisor<br />
for the Class of 1990, and that class is particularly memorable<br />
for me,” he adds. Many of today’s students, he says, “are so<br />
technologically savvy by the time they get here. It’s probably<br />
good that I’m on this end of my career because keeping up with<br />
their abilities is increasingly a challenge.”<br />
For Mike Broome, the heart and soul of <strong>Columbia</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> come down to two things: “First, we’ve always had<br />
a sense of community at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>. I was taken<br />
under many wings when I arrived here, not just in the English<br />
department. It’s special to wake up in the morning and look<br />
forward to coming to work because you know that what you<br />
do matters. We care for our faculty colleagues, our staff<br />
colleagues, and our students.”<br />
“Secondly, there is historical perspective. There are<br />
a lot of us who know about and deeply appreciate the history<br />
and traditions of this <strong>College</strong>. I’ve never been anything but<br />
proud to tell people I work for <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>. The gratifying<br />
thing about it is that when I make that comment, it is always<br />
received with respect.” He continues, “I was in the archives this<br />
summer and came across a photo of Doc Ariail standing with<br />
a WIS-TV reporter. They were standing on the front campus<br />
with the glowing embers of Old Main behind them. At that<br />
point, I believe that the 1964 fire had been the largest fire on<br />
any college campus in the United States with no loss of life.<br />
It’s quite a poignant picture. During the interview, the reporter<br />
asked Ariail what kind of long-term damage this loss would do<br />
to <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Old Doc Ariail looked at the reporter and<br />
said, “<strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>, sir…why, she is indestructible.”<br />
4<br />
What are the heart and soul of <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>? Few people have a better long-term perspective than the<br />
current five longest-serving faculty members: Dr. Michael Broome, Dr. Elaine Kirby Ferraro ’70, Ms. Sara Nalley ’63,<br />
Mr. Stephen Nevitt, and Dr. Sandra O’Neal. The question is certainly complex and subjective, but the stories of how each of these<br />
individuals came to <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> and what keeps them here provide unique insight. Thousands of students have spent time in their<br />
classrooms, relied on their support and constructive criticism, and shared both worries and accomplishments across three decades. The<br />
stories of these five are this part of the history and enduring legacy of <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />

Sara Nalley ’63<br />
Professor of Communication<br />
and Theatre, Program<br />
Coordinator for Theatre<br />
Sara Nalley earned her graduate<br />
degree at University of Florida<br />
before returning to <strong>Columbia</strong><br />
where she taught at Dreher High<br />
School for twelve years. In 1975,<br />
she left Dreher on a temporary<br />
leave of absence to fill a lastminute<br />
faculty opening at <strong>Columbia</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>. “When I came here 34 years<br />
ago, it was only to be for one year,” she<br />
says, but at the end of the year she decided<br />
to stay. Nalley had loved teaching high school and, in fact, had just<br />
been named district teacher of the year. “It seemed that twelve<br />
years had been a long time, though, so I took the opportunity to do<br />
something a little bit different.”<br />
At the time, the department was called Speech and<br />
Drama. She taught speech courses, which are now called<br />
communication courses, but her field was always primarily theatre.<br />
In addition to teaching, Nalley directed plays, promoted the play<br />
performances and even ran the box office. The director of the<br />
department was Gene Eaker, and Nalley studied under Gene and<br />
Catherine Eaker while an undergraduate at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
It was both appealing and “a bit scary” to come and work for her<br />
former mentors, she remembers. “It took me a long time to call<br />
them by their first names.”<br />
Changes came to the program as an opportunity arose<br />
to invigorate the communication side of the curriculum. A new<br />
minor evolved into the hugely popular communication major now<br />
offered. “It was sad to lose the theatre major, but we do still have<br />
the theatre program, and good things came out of the changes<br />
too.” Nalley says that because of the time-intensive nature of<br />
theatre, part of her challenge has been to find ways to meet the<br />
needs of students who perhaps enjoyed theatre in high school<br />
but want to major in another discipline in college. The Shorts<br />
productions began as an experiment to try short-format plays that<br />
required less rehearsal time and still provided a valuable stage<br />
production experience. “Shorts works so well because it provides<br />
an outlet for students who also have an interest in trying theatre<br />
for the first time too, with opportunities to participate in larger or<br />
smaller ways. You can find five short plays with roles for fifteen<br />
women, whereas it’s awfully hard to find one long play with so<br />
many women’s roles.”<br />
To balance the theatre offerings, Nalley has worked in<br />
recent years to bring in guest performers to present full-length<br />
plays, which can create opportunities for students to participate in<br />
backstage support and learn how a travelling production operates.<br />
She emphasizes that “Theatre is very much a part of the core<br />
liberal arts experience at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>, where many students<br />
are introduced to theatre for the very first time and come to love it.”<br />
Many of Nalley’s students develop an appreciation that emboldens<br />
them to audition for community theatre or simply cultivates a<br />
desire to support the performing arts. “I often hear from former<br />
students who want advice on what play to see on a trip to New<br />
York,” she laughs.<br />
She recalls, “When I came to <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> as a<br />
student, I don’t think I’d ever seen a play. I did a play my freshman<br />
year and just fell in love with it. I thought I was going to be a clinical<br />
psychologist. Then, theatre changed my life and influenced my career<br />
choice. Lots of my students have gone on to do exciting things: one<br />
is running a children’s theatre touring company for instance. In June<br />
I had dinner with five former students in New York who work in arts<br />
education and performing arts.”<br />
Nalley says she became a theatre major because of Anne<br />
Frierson Griffin ’24, for whom Griffin Theatre is named. “Mrs. Griffin<br />
was a <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> alumna, too, and she was so wonderful as an<br />
instructor and also a writer. Dr. Henry Rollins was another remarkable<br />
teacher.” Nalley double-majored in English and recalls, “I once had a<br />
paper returned from him and he’d written on the top ‘Your papers are a<br />
pleasure to read.’” I know now that teachers have stock phrases they<br />
use, but I’ve always remembered how much it meant to me that Dr.<br />
Rollins wrote a compliment on my work. Now when I grade papers, I<br />
always pick one that is particularly outstanding and I write that phrase<br />
on it, in memory of Dr. Rollins. I keep it as a reminder to myself that<br />
faculty must be so careful in what we say to students, both positive<br />
and negative. Something that seems so casual to us might change<br />
their lives.”<br />
Since she also provides communication training for<br />
businesses and state government, she often hears, “send us people<br />
who can read and write and think critically. We can teach them the<br />
technical skills, but we can’t teach them to be well-rounded educated<br />
people.” She believes that is what liberal arts education achieves.<br />
“Liberal arts add texture to people’s lives, a depth that you don’t<br />
have if your only experience with ideas comes from television and<br />
the internet.” Nalley recalls a student who wanted to go to graduate<br />
school in broadcast journalism and applied to the very prestigious<br />
program at New York University. She had an undergraduate minor<br />
in communication, not a journalism or media arts degree. “I was<br />
surprised, quite frankly, that she got in,” says Nalley. “Once she got<br />
there, one of her professors told her that she was one of the first<br />
liberal arts graduates they had ever accepted, but he said they were<br />
going to look for more. ‘Because,’ he said, ‘we can teach people to run<br />
a camera, but we can’t teach them to write and think.’”<br />
Nalley believes that the women’s college experience<br />
is still a very powerful and unique education. “It’s still only at a<br />
women’s college that women can experience the kinds of leadership<br />
opportunities that we give our students. In my classes, every class<br />
discussion is led by a woman; there’s no sitting back and waiting<br />
for the man to be quiet so that I get a chance to talk. In our extracurricular<br />
activities, every important role is being played by a woman.<br />
And that’s not to say that it’s more important than having a man do the<br />
job, but that at this formative stage in young women’s lives, they get<br />
lots of opportunities and sometimes a little extra push that they might<br />
not get at a coeducational college.”<br />
As to the heart and soul of <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>, she says,<br />
“You can’t ignore the fact that <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> is a community led<br />
by women.” “I went to a session at a conference not long ago where<br />
faculty were discussing how women can have a more important and<br />
active role in the lives of their campuses. I just sat there and listened,<br />
and finally somebody turned to me and asked ‘what’s it like on your<br />
campus?’ I said, ‘I bring you greetings from Utopia!’”<br />
Stephen Nevitt<br />
Professor of Art,<br />
Program Coordinator for Art<br />
Steve Nevitt joined the <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
faculty in 1976, became chair of the<br />
program in 1985, and continues<br />
to serve in a leadership role. He<br />
completed his undergraduate work<br />
at the University of South Carolina,<br />
studying with renowned printmaker<br />
Boyd Saunders. “It didn’t take long,<br />
once I got into his printmaking studio<br />
as a sophomore, to know what I wanted<br />
to do with my life. Based upon Boyd’s<br />
example, I knew I would make art and<br />
teach.” He completed his graduate study in the<br />
State University of New York system. Nevitt feels incredibly lucky<br />
to have found a path that allowed him to pursue his passion. He<br />
remembers his parents had doubts about art as a viable career<br />
choice. “My dad felt obligated to try to talk me out of it, but he was<br />
ultimately understanding and supportive.” Reminiscing about his<br />
early days at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>, Nevitt says, “There used to be a<br />
congregation of older faculty who would get together at 10 a.m. every<br />
morning in the old dining hall and get free donuts and coffee from<br />
Cliff and Marie Hill, the couple who ran the campus food service.<br />
Bill Tidwell, then art chair, told me I needed to come over and get to<br />
know everyone. I was a little intimidated at first, but I’d go over and<br />
be cordial. And now here I am, one of those old guys,” he laughs.<br />
Under Nevitt’s leadership, the <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> art program earned<br />
national accreditation in 1996. <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> was the second<br />
school in South Carolina to be accredited by the National Association<br />
of Schools of Art and Design.<br />
“Years ago I remember receiving a long letter from a<br />
former student who had moved to North Carolina. She was updating<br />
me on her life and actually apologizing for going to graduate school<br />
in social work instead of pursuing art,” recalls Nevitt. “My response<br />
was that it actually made a lot of sense because she’d had a liberal<br />
arts education that prepares one to explore and segue into other<br />
areas. I’d known through her artwork and our discussions that she<br />
had always been concerned with social justice and related issues.<br />
I assured her it’s the most natural thing in the world to follow one’s<br />
heart, and our passions certainly evolve with time and experience.<br />
Her art had been part of a process to visualize those concerns, and<br />
she was taking a next step. I have no doubt she is doing wonderful<br />
and important work.” Nevitt talks about former students that have<br />
become leaders in the classroom and a variety of fields. “Jackie<br />
Keane Adams ‘98 is a prime example. I first met Jackie when I<br />
taught for the Governor’s School for the Arts summer program at<br />
Furman University and recruited her for <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>. After<br />
graduation, she taught public school through the PACE program,<br />
worked with prominent South Carolina artists like Clark Ellefson and<br />
Guy Lipscomb, and then returned to <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> where her<br />
management of Goodall Gallery has been outstanding.”<br />
In addition to teaching at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>, Nevitt has<br />
worked for the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and<br />
Humanities for over 15 years. Summers at Furman became a<br />
tradition for his family. After 10 years of teaching exclusively women<br />
in the <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> studios, he found the Governor’s School a<br />
seasonal change of pace with a coed environment. “The great thing<br />
about it was not only the opportunity to work with incredibly talented<br />
high school students, but the relationships I cultivated with art<br />
educators statewide and still maintain. We actively recruited through<br />
the Governor’s School.” He recalls, “High school students learn that<br />
there are three distinct ways to pursue an art degree: professional<br />
arts schools, large universities, and small liberal arts colleges. Of<br />
course, the small liberal arts college environment correlates closely<br />
to the Governor’s School experience, so it’s a very attractive option<br />
to them.” Nevitt is an active member of the art education community,<br />
volunteering for many years to assist with the Tri-District Arts<br />
Consortium, the Archibald Rutledge Scholarship program sponsored<br />
by the State Department of Education, and other organizations. He<br />
also serves frequently as an exhibit juror and guest lecturer.<br />
“Through the years I’ve often told students that the<br />
most important year of their artistic education is the year after<br />
they graduate. They need to continue producing art and make it a<br />
priority. I’ve had to follow that rule too, to stay current with my own<br />
craft, keep my skills at appropriate levels, and consistently create<br />
new work. I came here when I was 26 years old, and I get a lot of<br />
energy from the students to this day. Developing your own voice<br />
and message is very important, and their journey is part of my<br />
own.” Nevitt’s work has been featured in over 200 exhibitions and is<br />
represented in public, private and corporate collections throughout<br />
the United States.<br />
“The most important part of my <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
experience by far for over thirty years has been our students,” says<br />
Nevitt. “Graduates of our program share a significant bond. We<br />
have a steady stream of visits by art alumnae, many with impressive<br />
careers or personal accomplishments to share, and some who<br />
are still finding their way. It means a great deal to me to hear from<br />
each of them. Few things bring me greater joy than to see a former<br />
student drop by my office or to receive an e-mail, a note, or a phone<br />
call from one of them.”<br />
Dr. Sandra O’Neal<br />
Professor of English<br />
Sandra O’Neal remembers that the job<br />
market was very tight in 1976 and<br />
college teaching jobs were scarce.<br />
She had decided her senior year of<br />
college that she wanted to pursue<br />
graduate work and a teaching career.<br />
She adds, “Back then, lots of women<br />
stayed home, and I’d married and<br />
had two babies while I was in college.<br />
I waited to begin work on my master’s<br />
degree at Wake Forest until my youngest<br />
child was in first grade and the older one<br />
was in third grade.” From there, she proceeded<br />
to Duke University to complete her Ph.D. in English literature and<br />
soon heard about an opening at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Dr. Jerry Savory was head of the English department for<br />
the <strong>College</strong>, and O’Neal recalls cornering him at a conference to<br />
ask for an interview. “Luckily, he was too much of gentleman to turn<br />
6 C O l u M B i A C O l l E g E w w w . c o l u m b i a s c . e d u<br />
7
me down, even though he had already completed interviews,” she<br />
noted. Her persistence paid off. O’Neal got the job and moved with<br />
her family from Durham, N.C., to <strong>Columbia</strong>, where she began her<br />
first full-time teaching position.<br />
The opportunity to work at a women’s college was an<br />
incentive for O’Neal: “It was very appealing because I knew what<br />
a good education I’d received at two women’s colleges.” As an<br />
undergraduate, she attended Randolph Macon <strong>College</strong> for one year<br />
and then transferred to Agnes Scott. “When I was trying to get Jerry<br />
Savory to interview me, I said ‘You know, I’ve attended two excellent<br />
women’s colleges in the South, and you need somebody with my<br />
background!’”<br />
“I didn’t think of becoming a teacher when I was growing<br />
up, but I love the school environment,” says O’Neal. “I still joke about<br />
getting paid to read books, since reading is one of my favorite things<br />
to do. And I love helping students learn. Seeing the change from first<br />
year to senior year is always remarkable in our young women. I’ve<br />
never thought of leaving, never. I love teaching.”<br />
She notes that Jerry Savory had the strongest impact<br />
on her early years of teaching and has fond memories of other<br />
“welcomers” such as Dr. Harris Parker, Dr. Pat Chandler, Dr. Sara<br />
Mott, Dr. William Butler, and Ms. Barbara Johnson. “The quality<br />
of teaching at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> has always been impressive. I<br />
remember being amazed when I first arrived--the focus here is firmly<br />
on classroom instruction and student success.”<br />
“I think a liberal arts education is THE best preparation<br />
because it prepares students for a better life as well as for careers,”<br />
says O’Neal. “In liberal arts, students are exposed to a variety of<br />
viewpoints and pushed to explore and analyze ideas. Typically,<br />
English majors have to struggle to land their first job. But they tend<br />
to do exceptionally well over the long term because they can think<br />
analytically and articulate effectively. In addition, they’ve already<br />
been challenged to develop their leadership skills.” O’Neal enjoys<br />
hearing from her former students and added, “I’d love to know what<br />
more of them are doing!”<br />
Her favorite class to teach is the Shakespeare course.<br />
“Rather than do one play by an author and move on to something<br />
else, students read eight or nine plays.” She says most students wait<br />
to take this course their junior or senior year. “The ability to analyze<br />
literature is not a skill that many students arrive with. Helping them<br />
understand that it takes time to develop critical reading skills is part<br />
of the process,” she says.<br />
O’Neal’s teaching experience has also extended beyond<br />
the classroom. During the ’70s and early ’80s, she traveled to<br />
England with groups of students, and she has taken three trips to<br />
Greece with students and art professor Mary Gilkerson, and Dr.<br />
Belinda Gergel ’72, who retired from <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> in 2001.<br />
“Belinda was notorious for convincing students on those trips to<br />
change their major to history,” O’Neal laughs. “Yep, she’s amazing,<br />
and I’ve watched her in action!”<br />
“One of the things that I’ve really enjoyed is the way that<br />
faculty and students interact, and not just in the classroom. I’ve<br />
been involved with the Academic Skills Center, and it has become<br />
a real home base for me, a place where I can get to know students<br />
a little better. Back when I started teaching, most students were<br />
truly full-time students and they didn’t often have jobs. They had<br />
more time to participate in campus activities. Now, they have jobs<br />
off-campus, they have a great deal going on, and they even have<br />
more complicated family lives. For instance, one of our very talented<br />
majors was commuting and caring for a chronically ill parent last<br />
year,” says O’Neal. “I do like the ability to get to know students beyond<br />
learning about them exclusively through their assignment papers. It seems<br />
harder to do so now, especially when many have to work and can barely fit<br />
in all their classes and study time.”<br />
“The English department is certainly the best place to work on<br />
campus,” she says with a big smile regarding her campus colleagues.<br />
“These are my best friends, and when I think about retiring and not seeing<br />
them every day, I say whoa…let’s not rush into this! Unfortunately we are<br />
so busy that we don’t always have time to visit with each other as often<br />
as we’d like. I really appreciate the willingness everyone has to work<br />
together and support each other. It’s a great place to be and we have<br />
complementary talents. I’m constantly in awe of what my colleagues can<br />
and will do. Dr. Charles Israel was kind enough to teach my early British<br />
literature class last spring when I needed to take some time off. That’s just<br />
one example of how colleagues here support each other. <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
faculty and staff across the campus are amazing!”<br />
O’Neal says, “The students are the heart and soul of <strong>Columbia</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>, no question, and my colleagues are the icing on the cake.”<br />
Dr. Elaine Kirby Ferraro ’70<br />
Professor of Sociology,<br />
Division Head for<br />
Behavioral Studies and Human Inquiry<br />
Elaine Ferraro is currently the longest serving<br />
faculty member for the <strong>College</strong> with 37 years<br />
of service. Add to that her four years as<br />
a <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> student, and Ferraro<br />
says, “I grew up at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>. My<br />
wish is for everyone to have the kind of<br />
experience I’ve had at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Sometimes it feels like it couldn’t possibly be<br />
that long. I joined the faculty very young, and<br />
for the most part time has gone by pretty quickly.”<br />
“I think of all the wonderful friendships that have<br />
happened in that time. I got married. My daughter, Emily, was born.<br />
<strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> has been a huge part of my life.” She doesn’t have any<br />
idea how she came to select the <strong>College</strong> for her undergraduate education.<br />
Ferraro grew up in White Stone, a rural community in Spartanburg County,<br />
and had no particular connection to the <strong>College</strong> other than her United<br />
Methodist affiliation.<br />
In contrast, Ferraro had a clear vision of her academic track<br />
when she arrived as a first year student. “I wanted to change the world,<br />
and I was pretty sure I could do that by majoring in sociology. I knew<br />
what I wanted to do and was fortunate to have faculty who were exciting<br />
and inspiring. The <strong>College</strong> was a great fit for me in that sense, with its<br />
commitment to service and social justice. And R. Wright Spears was such<br />
a leader in the 1960s with civil rights; he was incredible.”<br />
“When I went to college, my passionate idea was that I wanted<br />
to be an inner city social worker. It was a time when there was a lot of<br />
racial unrest and poverty, particularly in inner cities. It was easy to see<br />
the inequities by looking at our surroundings and by watching the national<br />
news. The images were vivid.”<br />
Dr. William “Bill” Butler, former dean of academics, called<br />
Ferraro as she was finishing her graduate work at Virginia Commonwealth<br />
University and asked if she would be interested in coming back to teach.<br />
“I had never considered teaching before then. I didn’t want to do it full<br />
time, so I started in a half-time position and soon realized I could help<br />
change the world in a classroom too. It’s a profound privilege and<br />
responsibility to be a faculty member at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>. I will<br />
forever be grateful to Bill Butler for extending an invitation that<br />
changed my life.”<br />
“Teaching at a women’s college makes one develop<br />
certain ways of looking at things that we may take for granted,”<br />
says Ferraro. Someone teaching at a coed institution may not be<br />
as sensitive about certain things, she says. “For instance, we are<br />
careful to say ‘women’ instead of ‘girls’ and we make it a habit to<br />
try to balance illustrations in regard to gender and diversity. Each<br />
entering class reflects the social experiences of its time,” says<br />
Ferraro. “That makes this current class very different from my class<br />
of ’70. But rather than centering on how they have changed I like<br />
to focus on the bonds they share…we share. They are COLUMBIA<br />
COLLEGE students and will become <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> alumnae.<br />
That makes them special. I see myself in many of them when my<br />
parents moved me into Fleming Hall the summer of 1966: a little<br />
overwhelmed, a bit intimidated, but welcomed from the very first<br />
day. I see in them a desire to learn, to contribute in meaningful<br />
ways, and to change the world to make it a better place for all.”<br />
“<strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s heart is the students, faculty,<br />
staff, alumnae and community. All who nourish and support her,<br />
borrowing a phrase from the Methodist Church, ‘through their<br />

Dr. Rebecca Johnston<br />
Dr. Rebecca Johnston joins the <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> music faculty as music<br />
program coordinator. In addition to conducting the <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> Choir,<br />
<strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> Chorus and the Hi C’s, she will maintain a vocal studio<br />
and teach aural skills and conducting courses.<br />
A native of Mississippi, Johnston has directed choral ensembles in the public school systems<br />
of Georgia and South Carolina, and has instructed voice, piano, music theory and aural<br />
skills in the private studio. Her ensembles have consistently earned superior ratings at the<br />
state and national levels, and have performed upon invitation at multiple venues, including<br />
performances for guests of the Governor of the state of Georgia. Prior to her appointment<br />
at <strong>Columbia</strong>, Johnston held a position at the University of South Carolina. She is passionate<br />
about the comprehensive development of young musicians, and has served as adjudicator<br />
and clinician for choral festivals in the state of South Carolina. Her research interests include<br />
music psychology, specifically musical attitudes, and vocal function and pathology. Johnston<br />
has a personal interest in folk and contemporary music, as well as music theatre. She has<br />
toured the United States, Poland and South America with contemporary ensembles, and has<br />
performed in numerous stage productions in Mississippi, Minnesota and Georgia. In addition, she<br />
is an avid competitive cyclist.<br />
Johnston holds the bachelor of music degree from Georgia State University and the master<br />
of music education and doctor of philosophy of music degrees from the University of<br />
South Carolina, where she graduated with distinction. She is a member of MENC: the<br />

more difficult to define. The soul of <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> is rooted<br />
in her heritage. A courageous group of men and women in<br />
1854 gathered at Washington Street United Methodist Church<br />
and founded an institution committed to a life of education and<br />
service. For 155 years the <strong>College</strong> has transformed lives. The<br />
soul of the <strong>College</strong> is enduring. It exists in the tenets of learning,<br />
service for the greater good, and community. The people guard<br />
and protect her soul for the generations of students to come.”<br />
Many <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> alumnae speak of the<br />
encouragement or inspiration they received from a faculty<br />
member during their college years. Perhaps it was an “aha”<br />
moment in the classroom, praise for an assignment welldone,<br />
or a recommendation for graduate school. We invite<br />
you to honor the faculty member who is foremost in your<br />

Cornelia<br />
Rickenbacker<br />
Freeman ’33<br />
Alumnae Spotlight:<br />
An afternoon visit with Cornelia Rickenbacker Freeman<br />
provides a delightful glimpse of a diminutive lady who<br />
modestly acknowledges she has been a champion for<br />
music in South Carolina. Now at age 97, she enjoys<br />
life in a retirement community where<br />
a focal point in her apartment is an<br />
upright piano, the top lined with family<br />
photos. “Oh, these hands really can’t<br />
play anymore,” she says with a smile of<br />
blithe acceptance at the toll of arthritis.<br />
Quickly on to other subjects, Cornelia<br />
is scarcely able to keep her seat as a<br />
fresh anecdote compels her to find a<br />
photograph or an event program in her<br />
well-organized collection of memorabilia.<br />
“I can lay my hands on it, just a<br />
second…” as she rises and dashes into<br />
her study to reappear with a <strong>Columbia</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> 1933 yearbook.<br />
Cornelia graduated from her rural school<br />
in Cameron as valedictorian of a class of<br />
twelve and decided to follow her mother’s<br />
footsteps to <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>, “I thought<br />
I might study to teach.” Asked if she was<br />
already an accomplished musician when<br />
she entered college she says, “Not really,<br />
I did what you call ‘took’ music,” she laughs, “in other words, I had music<br />
lessons as a girl. My mother went with me to Orangeburg for me to study<br />
piano with a teacher named Angie McMichael.”<br />
“After college, I taught in public school and arranged for<br />
private piano lessons for pupils in the afternoon. When Bob<br />
Freeman and I were married we lived in a house in <strong>Columbia</strong><br />
and had three children before he was drafted for army<br />
service in World War II. While he was away, the children<br />
and I moved to Cameron where we lived in a house near<br />
my parents. When Bob was discharged in 1945, we planned<br />
for a new house to be built for us in <strong>Columbia</strong>, returning as<br />
soon as it was completed. There I was able to continue my<br />
involvement with music in the community.”<br />
in <strong>Columbia</strong> when the national season was over, usually in April.<br />
I volunteered, solicited funds, sold tickets and worked with many<br />
others to help make that happen. It became the Southern Symphony,<br />
which was active until the very end of the war, then it sort of faded<br />
away,” she recalls.<br />
“Another effort was made to organize an orchestra in the 1950s<br />
but it never quite took off. In 1963, there were a lot of musicians<br />
who wanted try again so they got Mr. Harry Jacobs from Augusta<br />
to have a trial concert---<strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s Guthrie Darr helped<br />
with that, too---and it went extremely well. So we put together a<br />
very successful season for 1964. In 1965 we formed a Women’s<br />
Symphony Association, which later became the Symphony League,<br />
and I was on the board for that. In <strong>Columbia</strong> there were groups like<br />
the Afternoon Music Club which had been active since 1905, the<br />
Eaue Clair Music Club since 1940, and others that all belonged to<br />
the National Federation of Music Clubs and attended the national<br />
conventions. They were all active organizations with purposes,<br />
aims and goals.” Cornelia doesn’t dwell on her leadership and<br />
accomplishments and sums it up this way, “Anyway, one thing after<br />
another happened, and I was elevated to positions on the national<br />
scene with the Federation.” She served one term as president of<br />
the South Carolina Federation of Music Clubs and became a board<br />
member of the National Federation of Music Clubs from 1971 until<br />
1991. She is a life member of both organizations.<br />
Where Are They Now?<br />
Columns Catches Up With Retired Faculty<br />
Dr. Dave Day<br />
D<br />
Her connection with <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> has remained strong through<br />
the Alumnae Association, and she fondly remembers serving as<br />
alumnae chair for the grand opening and dedication of the Spears<br />
Music/Art Center when it was built in 1977. “The <strong>College</strong> was in a<br />
rebuilding phase over the decade following the devastating fire of<br />
1964 and it was an exciting time to be involved.” Over the years, her<br />
love of music and her husband’s business success inspired them<br />
to contribute over $100,000 to <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>. She describes<br />
receiving an honorary doctorate from <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> in 1997 as<br />
one the “greatest surprises of my life.” In fall 2001, one year after<br />
Bob’s death, Cornelia decided to make a special gift in honor of Bob<br />
and her mother, Louisa Salley Rickenbacker, Class of 1895. Louisa<br />
was known for many years as the <strong>College</strong>’s oldest living alumna,<br />
until her death in 1984 at the age of 107. With the encouragement<br />
of her family, Cornelia donated her mother’s family property in<br />
Orangeburg, South Carolina, to the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Cornelia’s decades of energetic leadership and influence, local and<br />
national, now bring courtesy calls from people such as Morihiko<br />
Nakahara, music director and conductor for the South Carolina<br />
Philharmonic. “Until last year I hadn’t missed a single Philharmonic<br />
performance. I was indisposed…a ‘dizzy day,’” she says with good<br />
humor toward the occasional inconveniences of age.<br />
Contrary to those who may think that <strong>Columbia</strong>’s music<br />
Since retiring from the <strong>College</strong> in 2004 after 19 years gym regularly and enjoys reading, although much of<br />
scene is relatively new, Cornelia holds the view that there<br />
as professor of management in the department of his reading is work related. He and Barbara are avid<br />
has always been a vibrant music community here. As far<br />
business and economics, Dr. Day has been working travelers and have visited Norway, Sweden and<br />
During her first year at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>, Cornelia auditioned for the<br />
Glee Club. “We toured South Carolina and I have some good stories<br />
about that,” she smiles and shares a favorite. “We wore long dresses<br />
and in one particular town the venue stage had curtains that rolled up.<br />
Fortunately I was not on the front row, because when the curtain rose, it<br />
caught one singer’s dress and rolled it right up, too!” She recalls living her<br />
first year in the East Wing residence hall with another young woman from<br />
Cameron. Later she roomed in West Wing with a younger cousin, “and<br />
she stood up with me for my wedding a few years later.” The only campus<br />
building that remains standing from her college years is the Vera Young<br />
Library, which is now “The Parlor” of Alumnae Hall. Cornelia’s sparkle<br />
and quick smile make it easy to imagine her as a popular young woman<br />
who was active in campus life and elected president of the student body.<br />
She graduated at the top of her class, valedictorian once again, with a<br />
bachelor of arts degree and a certificate in piano.<br />
back as her mother’s time at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> in the 1890s,<br />
“there were important music performances held at the <strong>College</strong> and uptown.<br />
With the Depression things went<br />
downhill, but there was a lot<br />
going on in music. Even before<br />
I was married in 1935, my future<br />
sister-in-law was a violin player,<br />
and she organized an impressive<br />
orchestra of townspeople---not<br />
just students---who practiced and<br />
performed at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>.“<br />
During the war, she recalls, many<br />
musicians fled Europe and then<br />
found work in the big orchestras,<br />
like New York and Philadelphia.”<br />
Cornelia and others saw<br />
opportunity in this influx of talent,<br />
“The arts community worked<br />
to draw those musicians here<br />
by organizing a music festival<br />
Cornelia with the table her son made of stairway<br />
as a management coach for corporate clients in<br />
<strong>Columbia</strong> and Florence, focusing mainly on two key<br />
services. One is a ‘360’ evaluation process designed<br />
to help managers identify strengths and weaknesses<br />
that will help them become more effective. The<br />
second is a concept called talent management in<br />
which Day works with small groups of employees<br />
who have been targeted as high potentials, and are<br />
being groomed for future managerial opportunities.<br />
His present work allows him to draw on his own<br />
managerial experience, classroom teaching from<br />
his days at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>, together with his<br />
counseling degree. Day likens his role to that<br />
of a favorite Biblical figure, Barnabas the great<br />
encourager. As a management coach, Day’s goal<br />
is to serve as an encourager to those interested<br />
in reaching their full potential as managers and<br />
business leaders. When asked about his hobbies,<br />
Day cheerfully says his work remains his primary<br />
hobby. But, he also enjoys singing in the church<br />
choir, to include being part of a male quartet, at<br />
Northeast United Methodist Church where his wife<br />
Barbara is the choir director. He also works out at the<br />
Denmark. They also enjoy visiting New England to see<br />
the fall leaves, have taken an Alaskan cruise and most<br />
recently took a trip to Sedona, Ariz.<br />
“Ole Doc D” is beloved by his former students, who<br />
remember him as an inspiring mentor who brought<br />
out the best in his students. His charisma and ability<br />
to engage and relate to students created a reciprocal<br />
classroom environment. Day says his mantra for<br />
<strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> students and alumnae has not<br />
changed, that is, “Even after you graduate, you must<br />
remain a lifelong learner, especially in today’s work<br />
environment.” Alumnae often recall that he made their<br />
classroom experiences energized and relevant with<br />
assignments that were related to the real business<br />
world, with lessons that influenced their career choices<br />
and helped them to recognize their potential as<br />
leaders in the workplace and community.<br />
Dr. Day would enjoy hearing from former students<br />
(his “Troops”) and colleagues. You can e-mail him<br />

Below is an e-mail that I received on October 10, 2009, and it is<br />
printed with permission from the author, Missy Cromer ’65. It is with<br />
great admiration, respect and love that I share it with you.<br />
Lisa,<br />
The bags, shirts,<br />
pens, and yard flags were<br />
absolutely the HIT of our<br />
gang’s reunion.<br />
Lynne Hudson Bozard<br />
was hostess this year at<br />
her family lake home on<br />
Lake Santee. We all are<br />
so appreciative of your<br />
generosity and thoughtfulness Left to right: (top) Ann Terry Smith, Linda Craig<br />
sharing these treasures with Smith, Linda Collins Bush, (bottom) Rhetta<br />
us. Lynne, Jan Lewis Ross, Davis Calhoun, Missy Cromer,<br />
Linda Craig Smith, Rhetta Jan Lewis Ross (Not in picture) Sandy Creel,<br />
Davis Calhoun, Linda Collins Lynne Hudson Bozard<br />
Bush, Ann Terry Smith, and I<br />
were there celebrating our over forty years of friendship.<br />
Our dear Sandie Creel was in a nursing home in Conway under<br />
hospice care. We all put on our C-square shirts and took one for Sandie,<br />
hopped in Ann “Rooney” Smith’s van, and drove to Conway singing and<br />
practicing our C-square songs all the way. I took my guitar which is a<br />
standard feature on all our adventures. The nurses rolled Sandie out<br />
with her C-square shirt taped to her pajamas and we all sang to her in<br />
the lobby. We visited together for the last time. A mixture of love, laughs,<br />
endearing memories and hard-to-control emotions. She seemed to know<br />
we were there and even gave us a smile. We got back in the van and<br />
headed home to Lynne’s with heavy hearts and the loving unity we found<br />
nearly fifty years ago. Sandie died early the following morning as though<br />
she had been waiting to say goodbye to her <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> best<br />
friends before going ahead of us to Heaven.<br />
We are so blessed to have this tight and bright and supportive group<br />
of friends that outshine all others we have made since our time together<br />
so long ago at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>--a place where young women can<br />
bond, and grow, and support each other like no others for our lifetimes.<br />
We indeed “sing the praise of Her we love” through lifetimes of giving<br />
to others and sharing our lives together. As long as there are girls who<br />
turn into women of respect, grace, dignity and character, there will be<br />
<strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>, a place where girls become women and lives are<br />
entwined with love together, forever. Thank you, Lisa.<br />
Love,<br />

CoaChes Line Up for<br />
New<br />
Graduate Program Option<br />
The May 2009 coaches cohort<br />
The idea to offer a cohort for coaches interested in the<br />
<strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> Divergent Learning (DL) masters program<br />
began as a simple question. The graduate admissions team was<br />
brainstorming ways to increase enrollment and focused on teacher<br />
populations that they were less successful recruiting. “What about<br />
coaches?” someone offered. Over the years, many high school<br />
and middle school coaches had expressed interest in the program<br />
but could not enroll because sports schedules often conflict with<br />
Friday and Saturday classes.<br />
Carolyn Emeneker, graduate and evening admissions<br />
director, seized on the idea and soon presented it to the program<br />
faculty. They agreed it was possible to slightly extend the 12-month<br />
program to 15 months, have on-site classes in the summer, and<br />
offer online classes during the academic year. To recruit this<br />
population of teachers, Emeneker says, the program faculty’s<br />
openness to a new strategy was critical , “The DL faculty was<br />
ready and willing to ‘step outside the box’ and embrace this idea.”<br />
Within a few short weeks, the coaches’ cohort was ready to be<br />
promoted and begin enrollment.<br />
When the new option was communicated to coaches across<br />
the state, applications began to pour in. The first cohort enrolled<br />
in May 2009 and the coaches are so pleased with the program<br />
that they volunteered to help recruit their colleagues at the South<br />
Carolina Coaching Convention. Applications are already on file for<br />
the summer 2010 cohort and the DL faculty continues to look for<br />
ways to be more student-friendly and flexible in the way courses<br />
are delivered!<br />
Here are a few comments from coaches about their graduate<br />
courses in the Divergent Learning program.<br />
“The Learning Styles course gave me great tools for assessing<br />
my students’ individual needs.”<br />
“In my classes, we were able to talk about a lot of different<br />
developmental ideas that will help me with ALL students but<br />
especially divergent learners.”<br />
“The Learning Styles course gave me many strategies to get to<br />
know my students and help those who are struggling.”<br />
“The Characteristics of Divergent Learners course was great!<br />
I learned a lot in general about implementing differentiated<br />
instruction to teach divergent learners. I have really enjoyed this<br />
whole program.“<br />
“The Technology for Today class was very informative and very<br />
helpful in my coaching duties.”<br />

Thank you to all who supported our 2008-2009 goals to provide financial support and to enable us to improve the academic<br />
profile of our students. The lists below represent scholarship activity at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Endowed scholarship funds are designed to be permanent and perpetual and can be created with gifts totaling a minimum<br />
amount of $25,000 contributed in full at the outset or with an initial commitment that is added to over five years until the endowment<br />
level of $25,000 is attained. The principal of the fund is invested to produce income which is awarded by financial aid to a student(s).<br />
The principal remains untouched allowing the endowment to last into perpetuity.<br />
Annual scholarships can be established with a minimum gift of $1,000. Unlike an endowed scholarship described above, an<br />
annual scholarship is not a permanent fund and is awarded only as long as you (or others) choose to contribute to the fund.<br />
If you would like more information to set up or contribute to scholarships or have questions, please call the Office of Advancement at 803.786.3650.<br />

Jane Comfort<br />
iN-RESidENCE fEBRUaRy 2010<br />
The <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
dance program was<br />
awarded an American<br />
Masterpieces in South<br />
Carolina grant to bring<br />
renowned choreographer<br />
Jane Comfort to <strong>Columbia</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> to present “Four<br />
Screaming Women” with<br />
the <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
Dance Company with<br />
additional cast from The<br />
Power Company. Martha<br />
Brim, professor of dance<br />
and director of The<br />
Power Company, was<br />
the principle author of the<br />
grant for this award.<br />
Jane Comfort,<br />
choreographer, writer and<br />
director, has traveled throughout the United States, Europe and<br />
Latin America with her award winning work. Comfort is an activist/<br />
artist and her piece “Four Screaming Women” premiered the day<br />
after the Equal Rights Amendment was defeated, October 4, 1982.<br />
Comfort will be in residence at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> in February<br />
2010, and will be working with students, leading workshops, and<br />
re-staging her work for the <strong>Columbia</strong> community.<br />
American Masterpieces Dance Grants are administered by<br />
the South Carolina Arts Commission and provide funding to<br />
South Carolina dance companies, college and university dance<br />
ensembles, or South Carolina presenters in partnership with a<br />
South Carolina dance company. The purpose of the program is<br />
three-fold: to offer historically and artistically significant American<br />
dance works to South Carolinians, to engage and expand adult<br />
and student dance audiences and to foster creative partnerships<br />
between S.C. presenters and dance companies.<br />
American Masterpieces in South Carolina is a part of the National<br />
Endowment for the Arts’ American Masterpieces: Three Centuries<br />
of Artistic Genius initiative. The program aims to acquaint<br />
Americans with the best of their cultural and artistic legacy. Through<br />
this initiative, the NEA will sponsor performances, exhibitions, tours<br />
and educational programs across all art forms that will reach large<br />
and small communities in all 50 states.<br />

Five members of the <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> arts program<br />
were recently recognized for their longtime support<br />
and participation with the Tri-District Arts Consortium<br />
(TRI-DAC) program. The honorees, Martha Brim,<br />
Wrenn Cook, Stephen Nevitt, Alice Martin and Dr.<br />
Lillian Quackenbush (retired), worked with the summer<br />
program when it was hosted by <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Patrick Faulds was also recognized for his continuing<br />
participation, now for 20 years, with the program.<br />
The honorees received a plaque in recognition of<br />
their long-term support of the arts education program.<br />
TRI-DAC also announced a new student award<br />
established in Steve Nevitt’s honor, the “Outstanding<br />
Artist Award.” Nevitt said he was very “touched and<br />
humbled” to be recognized for his involvement with<br />
TRI-DAC, which was hosted by <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> for<br />
23 years until the program relocated to the Palmetto<br />
Center for the Arts in 2009. “I didn’t serve in a formal<br />
role, but over the years helped prepare studios for<br />
their summer use, checked to make sure visual arts<br />
had what they needed, juried their final exhibitions,<br />
and just pitched in as needed,” he added.<br />
TRI-DAC Director Donna Wilson said, “The support<br />
of the entire <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> fine arts faculty and<br />
administration through the years has been much of<br />
the reason for the program’s success.” Wilson noted<br />
that both Wrenn Cook and Martha Brim have served<br />
as directors of the TRI-DAC dance program. Dr. Lillian<br />
Quackenbush served multiple terms on the TRI-DAC<br />
board and Alice Martin has worked with TRI-DAC for<br />
the duration of the program and served on the Arts<br />
Partnership Steering Committee which wrote the<br />
“Five-Year Comprehensive Plan” for TRI-DAC.<br />
Wilson added, “We also honor Patrick Faulds,<br />
<strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s artistic technical director, who has<br />
served as technical director for TRI-DAC for 20 years.<br />
While the awards went to those who are no longer<br />
working with the program, we are delighted that he<br />
has been able to continue working with us during his<br />
own time and build the set for our TRI-DAC theatre<br />
production. Patrick has been and continues to be a<br />
vital part of our program.”<br />
“We look forward to our 25th anniversary next<br />
summer, during which we want to really honor and<br />
thank the <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> administration, staff<br />
and faculty for their tremendous and significant<br />
contribution to the program and to the lives of the<br />
many students served,” added Wilson.<br />
TRI-DAC offers summer programs for gifted students<br />
who are nominated and successfully complete an<br />
application process including an audition and/or<br />
portfolio review in visual arts, dance, music, creative<br />
writing or theatre in the Lexington One, Lexington/<br />
Richland Five and Richland Two school districts.<br />

Since its founding in 1854 by the South<br />
Carolina Conference of the United<br />
Methodist Church, <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
has continued to build upon the spiritual<br />
values that inspired its birth. At the heart<br />
of <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> is a commitment<br />
to providing educational opportunities<br />
that develop students’ capacity for<br />
critical thought and expression, lifelong<br />
learning, acceptance of personal<br />
responsibility, and commitment to service<br />
and social justice.<br />
United Methodists from the South<br />
Carolina Conference have demonstrated<br />
an abiding interest in <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
This year, <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> received<br />
over $380,000 from the South Carolina<br />
Conference of the United Methodist<br />
Church to assist in underwriting student<br />
scholarships.<br />
Leadership for the New South:<br />
Woman-Focused Leadership Development<br />
The Leadership Institute at <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>College</strong> offers the<br />
most comprehensive leadership development program<br />
in South Carolina designed especially for women<br />
professionals. The program recognizes and deepens<br />
understanding for women’s distinctive approaches to<br />
leadership in the workplace and the community.<br />
• Six intensive days of pragmatic leadership development and<br />
personal assessment.<br />
• Learn to focus on what really matters, market your ideas,<br />
map your leadership vision, create strategic alliances,<br />
negotiate effective outcomes and lead change.<br />
• Build partnerships within your organization and make<br />
decisions that are “system wise” for building consensus<br />
toward strategic change.<br />
• Create a team of motivated people who believe in your<br />
vision, trust your decisions and work together to implement<br />
innovative ideas.<br />
• Create balance and perspective, minimize gender<br />
stereotypes, and avoid burnout.<br />
Registration for the Spring Session<br />
begins in January.<br />
Spring Leadership for the New South Dates:<br />
Wed., January 27-Thurs., January 28<br />

What Women Are Saying About the<br />
Leadership for the New South:<br />
Having completed this six-day seminar, I can truthfully say that this has been one of the<br />
most unique and worthwhile classes I have taken in my eleven years with Coca-Cola.<br />
While the classes are geared towards women’s successes in an organization, they apply<br />
to everyone and give various perspectives on how people manage and lead.<br />
We have learned about our own leadership/character strengths and weaknesses and<br />
how to enhance our strengths and overcome or embrace our weaknesses. We also<br />
learned about appreciating others that think and behave differently than us. We’ve<br />
studied our Myers/Briggs Personality Tests and SDI Leadership studies to gain better<br />
understanding of our own behaviors and how others might perceive us.<br />
We focused on owning up to our responsibilities and developing our skills. We wrote<br />
our own mission statements, worked with executive coaches, worked on stress<br />
management, discussed the art of mastering strategic presentations, and finally trained<br />
on how to manage through conflict and developing better decision-making strategies.<br />
Overall, the class had many benefits that I will take with me throughout my life. I really<br />
feel that I will use the techniques learned to aid in finding balance in my own life while<br />
developing and growing my career with Coca-Cola.<br />
--Sherri Reeves, Customer Development Manager, Coca-Cola<br />
The Leadership for the New South program was just what I needed to recharge<br />
my work-life batteries. I learned how to make the most of my style of leading and<br />
communicating and to tailor it to more effectively lead and present information at seniorlevel<br />
meetings. I feel like I am more valuable to my employers, my peers and my team<br />
because of the skills I learned in this program - and that has enhanced my self-esteem.<br />
The personal attention I received and the networking with other women was invaluable<br />
and I highly recommend the program.<br />
--Kathy H. Norton, Assistant Vice President, PGBA Compliance Officer<br />
The most enlightening portion of the program for me was the discussion that surrounded<br />
the personality testing. I now understand where much of my “stress” originates. My<br />
career is outside my comfort zone. Knowing and understanding this makes it possible<br />
to anticipate the effects of performing certain responsibilities or encountering certain<br />
situations. It has allowed me to proactively deal with “stressful” situations in a more<br />
constructive manner. I am no longer as critical of myself under those scenarios.<br />
--Alicia Zmuda, CFP ®, First Citizens Bank, Vice President Wealth Advisor<br />
By participating in Leadership for The New South, I gained valuable knowledge and<br />
reminders to cope with my position of leadership within State government. I was able<br />
to put the ideas to use immediately and the mentoring from my personal coach helped<br />
me deal with several pressing personnel issues. Discovering my management style has<br />
opened my eyes to adjustments I needed to make for successful management of the<br />
Division.<br />
--Donna Royson, Deputy Director, SC State Election Commission<br />
The Leadership for the New South program was truly one of the most rewarding<br />
programs for me––both professionally and personally. This program encouraged me to<br />
think outside the box, recognize and capitalize on my strengths, and even understand<br />
others needs and intentions while keeping focused on my goals.<br />
--Susan C. Johnson, CPM, Strategic Planning Coordinator,<br />
SC Department of Transportation<br />
