Letter from theSummer 2005JOHN BROWNB U L L E T I NDear Alumni and Friends of JBU,PresidentGreetings. We are in exam week on campus, and the traditional undergraduatestudents are anxious to finish up and begin their summer. Most will be heading offto summer jobs, but over 160 students will be participating in one of JBU’s internationalmission or study programs in Northern Ireland, Germany, France, Britain,or Mexico. Studies have shown that overseas experiences greatly enhance students’academic and spiritual growth at college, and we are privileged to offer them as partof JBU’s program.EditorAlumni News EditorsContributing WritersLead DesignersDesign AssistanceProduction AssistancePhotographersAndrea PhillipsJean FraseLindsay DikesLeila McNeillAndrea PhillipsTraci CollinsAndrea PhillipsAllen DempseyJennifer TrenchardChristine MescherLuke DavisMark JacksonJennifer TrenchardI am also wrapping up my first year as president, and it has been a full one, as youcan see from the stories in this edition of the Bulletin. We made a difficult decision inselling KUOA, but it was made in light of the great success of KLRC. We dedicateda new residence hall, North Hall, and it is meeting a critical need for residentialspace for our growing undergraduate population. Our men’s basketball team providedthe most welcome surprise of the year by winning the NAIA national championshipas an unseeded team. Congratulations to Coach Sheehy and his team.This year we marked the passing of Mrs. Caroline Brown, the second “First Lady”of John Brown University. Carey and I had the privilege of visiting with Carolinethis past December, so we were able to catch a glimpse of her passion, hospitality,and self-sacrificing service to others. Even in a short time, we recognized that shewas a remarkable woman with a deep commitment and love for JBU. She will bemissed.Carey and I have had the pleasure to meet many of you through JBU’s alumnievents. We have enjoyed hearing your stories about Dr. John Panage and Dr. DorothyWoodland, the Harmonaires and the Sound Generation, the vocation credit andchapel pranks. You honor us with your stories because through them you invite us tojoin in the history of JBU. We look forward to hearing many more.We appreciate the warm welcome that we have received this past year, and we remaindeeply committed to the mission of John Brown University.
