PRESIDENT OF INDIANA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY

Building Community

For the past couple of years we have purposefully sought to increase multicultural diversity at Indiana

Wesleyan University. One day while praying for a Christ-like community that honors him, I felt God

revealed to me something I should have seen before – IWU should more clearly reflect the Kingdom of

God by welcoming, embracing and including others from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds.

A Diversity Task Force was formed in June of 2010 and met regularly to prayerfully understand and

chart a course of action. The task force charge was to examine and recommend a holistic, integrated and

intentional approach to enrich a campus culture that welcomes all students and faculty of multicultural

diversity and international origins. We felt it was essential to commit to providing a learning experience

that fully engages students and faculty of diversity in curricular and co-curricular education and spiritual

formation rooted in the Wesleyan tradition. During that spring, Dr. Pete Menjares from Biola University

conducted a diversity audit that enabled us to see ourselves more clearly, and he made many useful

recommendations. The work of the task force and the audit led to a standing Multicultural Enrichment

Council that is guiding our future course of action.

We are learning. We have learned that changing community is not easy and will not just happen

naturally. We have learned that most of us do not know how to make desired change in multicultural

diversity – but we are trying. We have learned that not everyone thinks this is important, and some will

oppose the change. I was deeply saddened and felt physically sick to learn of some intentional acts,

defined as hate crimes, which happened on our campus late this fall. Clearly, these acts remind us of

prejudices that still exist in our community.

But, we are making progress. In the College of Arts and Sciences, where the greatest need seems to be,

more students of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities are enrolling than ever before. We are aggressively

seeking additional scholarships for multiculturally diverse students, and this fall’s incoming class of faculty

is a strongly diverse group of hires.

Over the years the College of Adult and Professional Studies has had a solid commitment to diversity,

as well as the School of Nursing. Recent enrollments and hires in Wesley Seminary are commendable.

Yet, we are not where we want to be. This is not just the “trend of the year;” this is something that I

passionately believe God desires for IWU.

Our community should be a safe place where ideas are shared, hearts are bonded and life lessons are

learned. I believe we can only achieve the best of those ideals when we are inclusive. I know there will

be challenges and setbacks along the way, but I dream of a day when diversity is such a part of who we

are that no one talks about it – it is in our DNA. Or perhaps when we do talk about it, the context is the

chance to share with others what has happened here and to celebrate what God is doing in our midst.

Ordered Steps

Charleston Sanders already had undergraduate and

graduate degrees in music from Indiana University-

Bloomington, when he decided to explore the idea of

working on a seminary degree.

“Guess what the first name was that popped up on the

Internet?” Sanders said. “You guessed it; Wesley Seminary

at Indiana Wesleyan University. I had never been to Marion

and didn’t even know IWU had a brand new Seminary.”

Sanders came to the Marion campus for a visit, decided to

apply to the Seminary and was accepted. He signed up for

his first classes in the summer of 2010.

“In some kind of way, the resumé I turned in with my

Seminary application found its way to the Admissions

office,” Sanders said. “Before I knew it, I was being

interviewed for a newly created position as director of

Multicultural Recruitment.”

He was offered, accepted the job and began work in

August 2010.

“I didn’t know that the wheels were turning in regard to

diversity on the IWU campus or that a multicultural task

force already had been formed,” Sanders said. “God really

ordered my steps by first leading me to the Seminary.”

The first thing Sanders realized after landing in the

Admissions department was that he could not juggle the

demands of the Seminary and a new full-time job.

“I officially became a seminary dropout,” he says. “But

I haven’t abandoned the hope of still getting a seminary

degree.”

Sanders grew up in an inner-city neighborhood in

Indianapolis where his father was, and still is, a pastor. “We

were poor, but we had a solid upbringing,” Sanders said.

“Going to church wasn’t an option, it was a requirement.”

A state-sponsored program called 21st Century Scholars

was Sanders’ ticket to college. Students who enroll in the

program as eighth graders are guaranteed full tuition at a

state college if they maintain good grades and stay out of

trouble.

“I was in the first class statewide to graduate as 21st

Century Scholars,” Sanders said. “If it was not for that, I

would not be doing this interview today. My parents could

simply not afford college.”

While the scholarship program got Sanders into college,

it was his God-given musical ability that kept him there and

helped him to succeed.

“It became obvious that my calling and my heart was

with ministry, but I was sure music would be my tool of

ministry,” he said. “There was a lot of music in

our home. That gave me the foundation for my

spiritual walk but also for my musical gifts.

“I began playing the drums when I was 3 years

old. I beat on bongo drums and even on oatmeal

boxes. By the time I was a teenager, I played the

piano, the Hammond organ, trombone and the

bass guitar,” he said.

After earning his undergraduate degree in music at IU,

Sanders got married and applied for a job with an insurance

company. When the job fell through, he found himself

asking, “What am I going to do now?”

A professor at the IU School of Music answered the

question by offering Sanders a full-ride scholarship to

return to college for a master’s degree in jazz studies.

“At that point, I knew God was in it,” Sanders said. “You

don’t get offered a full-ride scholarship a few weeks before

school starts. From there, everything that I have done has

made room for the next step in my life.”

His journey over the last 10 years prepared him well for

his ministry in multicultural recruitment.

After earning his master’s degree, Sanders worked as the

associate director of Admissions for the IU music school.

He later moved into multicultural recruiting for the entire

IU-Bloomington campus. From there he went to Ivy Tech

College where he ran a college readiness program with the

Indianapolis Public Schools.

“God really ordered my steps.”

While he loves what he is doing at IWU, Sanders said

higher education is only one of five dimensions of his

life. “In addition to now being a college administrator, I

also am a husband, a father, a minister and a musician,”

he said.

Sanders, his wife and their four children live in Marion

but commute to Indianapolis several days a week to

remain active in the church where his father is the

pastor. Sanders is a church elder and serves as the music

director.

“IWU has been a place where I really see myself using

all of those facets of my life,” Sanders said. “I consider

my job at IWU a type of ministry because I see myself

helping people to navigate their way through higher

education and, perhaps, to their life calling.

“Although I don’t take all of the credit, we have made

significant progress in the past year in getting more minority

students interested in IWU. We also are working hard to

make IWU more affordable, which is a major issue for

students of color,” he said.

Almost as an afterthought, Sanders said, “I wish I had

known about IWU when I was a teenager.”

“I consider my job at IWU a type of ministry because I see myself helping people to navigate their way through higher

education and, perhaps, to their life calling.”

Building Bridges to the NationsOnline Classes, International Sites Create Borderless Possibilities for Adult Education

Adult education leaders, combining their entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to building God’s kingdom, continue to search for avenues to meet student needs. Their search includes online and onsite possibilities for multiple academic programs that would reach nations around the world.

Contributing to the online learning and expanded locations conversation is Dr. Jeannie Trudel, associate vice president for Strategic Initiatives in the College for Adult and Professional Studies (CAPS). She and others within Wesley Seminary, the School of Nursing (SON) and CAPS leadership are exploring numerous opportunities.

Drs. David Wright, Bridget Aitchison, Barbara Irhke and Wayne Schmidt are charged with guiding adult education.Wright serves as provost, Aitchison as CAPS vice president, Irhke as SON dean and Schmidt as Seminary vice president. They share a vision of establishing a global Christian university with multiple sites over the next 10 years that will prepare graduates to be world changers occupying positions of global Christian influence in all fields.

Their prayerful leadership, shared by President Henry Smith and his administrative team, guides the exploration of all initiatives. The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) also sets priorities for global learning and provides residential students with study abroad opportunities.

In the South Pacific, Aitchison and Trudel, along with New Zealand Wesleyan church representatives, met with church leaders who were excited about plans by Wesley Seminary to open an education center in Auckland. The center would offer Master of Divinity classes to students in New Zealand, Australia and the island nations of Fiji, Tonga and Samoa.

Tongan leaders, Trudel said, would like to preserve their uniqueness within the academic program, that it not be an exclusively American degree. “We were quick to assure

them that our purpose is to collaborate and to serve; contextualizing our programs to their needs,” she said.

Conversations about an Auckland education center for Wesley Seminary started in spring 2010.

“The goal would be to establish a site for the Seminary, and potentially the wider University, in Auckland,” said Schmidt, who visited New Zealand last October.

Schmidt said six pastors from Australia and New Zealand were nominated by their regions to begin taking Wesley Seminary M.Div. classes with the hope of finishing their degrees through the Auckland center.

Wesley Seminary’s Spanish-speaking M.Div. program, launched in 2010, is also looking for opportunities to offer its contextualized ministerial degree program beyond its home shores.

“We recognize that God has positioned us in a way to not exclusively focus on the needs of the Hispanic church in North America, but also in Ibero-America,” said Joanne Solis-Walker, the Seminary’s director of Latino and Latina Studies.

Puerto Rico’s Departamento de Educación has authorized the Seminary to begin recruiting students, with a goal of starting a cohort by next year. Seminary leaders are also thinking about Colombia, Panama, Ecuador and Spain.

Ideally, Solis-Walker said, these programs will employ native faculty members to offer an education that reflects the students’ culture.

A joint undergraduate nursing program with China’s Shenyang Medical College is another initiative being considered. Trudel said that Ihrke and SON are working on a couple of short-term student and faculty exchange programs for IWU students in China next May.

Additional discussions have begun with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) to help train more than 400,000 teachers in the Democratic Republic of Congo to integrate their faith into school curriculum.

Solis-Walker believes that taking IWU and Wesley Seminary programs around the world will help both institutions more clearly resemble God’s Kingdom. “Part of our shared vision is to be a bridge to the nations,” Solis-Walker said, “where diversity – that colorful palette that God held in his hand when he was creating humanity – is reflected, very clearly reflected, in who we are.”

Two campus landmarks were named in honor of prominent alumni during Homecoming activities.

The plaza that adjoins the Chapel Auditorium was named in honor of Dr. Harold E. Bardsley, who graduated in 1958 and later served 32 years on the Board of Trustees. A street that adjoins the plaza also was named Bardsley Way.

Bardsley, who died in 2009, played a key role in planning the 3,800-seat Chapel Auditorium, which opened in January 2010.

“Dr. Bardsley dreamed of the day when this Chapel Auditorium would dominate the skyline of the IWU campus. He died a few months before seeing his dream fulfilled,” said President Henry Smith.

“When IWU leaders began considering a way to indelibly etch Dr. Bardsley’s name on our campus, his family seized the idea of naming this plaza in his memory. The University chose to also rename the street that leads to this plaza.

“Generations of Indiana Wesleyan University students now will be privileged to follow this path up Bardsley Way and across Bardsley Plaza to enter this magnificent building that has reshaped the skyline of the campus – just as Harold Bardsley had dreamed it would,” Smith said.

The fieldhouse, which was built in 2007, was named in honor of Millie Jacobs Troyer, who often is referred to as “IWU’s Official Cheerleader.” She graduated in 1948 and later served as the University’s first alumni director and first women’s athletic director.

After living in Canada for many years, Troyer moved back to Marion in 2003 where she has become actively involved in campus life .

“It is hard to find all of the right words – at least in a limited amount of time – to fully describe who Millie Jacobs Troyer is and what she has

meant to Marion College and Indiana Wesleyan University since she first came to campus as a student in the 1940s,” Smith said.

“Since returning home, Millie has kept busy helping out in the Athletic Department. Selling tickets, staffing concessions stands, being a friend and mentor to hundreds of students and even accompanying athletic teams on international missions trips.

“And, of course, continually cheering on IWU-student athletes from the sidelines. It is with gratitude – and with joy – that we express our gratitude to IWU’s official cheerleader by naming this building Troyer Fieldhouse!” Smith said.

Endowed Chair Is Named for Munday

The Terry Munday Endowed Professorship of Life Calling has been established to honor the significant impact that Munday had on the University during his 18 years as vice president for University Advancement.

The endowment was announced at the Alumni/Founders Day Banquet during Homecoming weekend.

Munday retired as an IWU vice president in 2006 but continues to serve as an advisor to IWU President Henry Smith. About $1.25 million already has been committed to fund the endowment.

IWU embraces the concept of Life Calling as an educational philosophy that infuses and integrates faith, virtue, wisdom and service into a trajectory of intellectual and character development that transforms students by the renewing of their minds in Christ.

The launch of a Multicultural Enrichment Initiative a year

ago has provided a formal framework for the 3,200-student

residential campus to build on its recent successes in

becoming a more ethnically and racially diverse community.

Diversity has been a top priority for the last five years,

but the past year in particular has seen significant gains

as a result of specific initiatives and goals drafted by the

Multicultural Enrichment Council.

The number of diverse students on IWU’s residential

campus in Marion has increased from 134 during the 2007-

08 academic year to 239 for the current academic year. The

percentage of diverse students in Marion has increased from

4.5 percent five years ago to 7.5 percent today.

The number of Hispanic students on the Marion campus

has increased from 55 to 95 in the last five years, and the

number of African-American students has nearly doubled

from 44 in 2007-08 to 83 for the current academic

year.

Eighteen Latino/Latina church leaders are enrolled in

Master of Divinity programs in Wesley Seminary at IWU.

In the area of faculty recruitment, seven of 12 new

professors hired in the College of Arts and Sciences for the

2011-12 academic year are people of diversity.

The College of Adult and Professional Studies has

demonstrated widespread diversity, among both faculty

and students, almost since its founding in 1985. About 25

percent of adult education students who attend classes in

large urban areas are diverse.

Diane McDaniel, who has been director of Faculty

Recruitment since

2008, was named

associate vice president

for Human Resources

in August. She has

a master’s degree in

human resources plus

extensive experience in

human resources while

working for a large

telecommunications

company.

McDaniel also serves as co-chair of the Multicultural

Enrichment Council, which was created earlier this year

to provide leadership in changing the multicultural face

of IWU’s residential campus. Dr. Wayne Schmidt, vice

president of Wesley Seminary at IWU, chairs the council.

The Multicultural Enrichment Council established

several statistical goals to guide its work. The council has set

a fall 2013 deadline to meet those goals.

Other diversity-related events in recent months include:

Dean Builds Upon Upward Bound Boost

As a child, Marlon Mitchell faced what could have been

overwhelming odds for attaining a college degree. Today,

he is the regional dean for adult education programs in the

northern third of Indiana, and credits Upward Bound for

pointing him in the right direction.

Mitchell’s mother died when he was in elementary

school. He was sent to live first with his great-grandparents

and later with his

grandparents, none of

whom had any formal

education.

“Families can do great

things without a formal

education,” Mitchell said.

“My family had a lot of

intelligence and wisdom.

They were wise enough to see that their children and

grandchildren went to college.

“My generation was the first to go to college. Since then,

everyone has gone to college and has advanced degrees. For

my grandparents to not even have a third-grade education and

to educate doctors and lawyers is just phenomenal,” he said.

Mitchell doesn’t know if he would have gone to college

without help from Upward Bound, but he is convinced the

program helped prepare him to succeed in college.

“Upward Bound made a difference in the friends I had

and provided a college experience while I was still in high

school,” Mitchell said. “Upward Bound knows that if your

parents did not go to college, your chances of going to

college are reduced.”

IWU has sponsored an Upward Bound program on its

residential campus in Marion for 16 years. Students are

accepted into the program as high school sophomores.

Mitchell, who grew up in Gary and East Chicago,

participated in an Upward Bound program sponsored

by Purdue University-Calumet in northwest Indiana.

The program clearly prepared him well to seek a higher

education.

After graduating from Gary

Roosevelt High School, where

he was a member of the state

champion track team for four

consecutive years, Mitchell

enrolled at Kelley School of

Business at Indiana University-

Bloomington, where he earned a

bachelor’s degree.

He worked briefly for IBM in Chicago and New York

before realizing he didn’t like corporate life.

“If I didn’t learn anything else from IBM, I learned how

to deliver good service and to maintain the character not

only of yourself but also of your product,” Mitchell said.

“I integrated that principle into my life and have carried it

forth throughout my career.

“When I was at IBM, the CEO was a Christian,” he said.

“You don’t think of a corporation as being Christian, but

I saw it in his leadership. You pick up things like that and

want to incorporate them in your life.”

After his corporate world experience, Mitchell earned

a certificate in economics of European immigration from

a university in the Netherlands. He then returned to IU-

Bloomington, where he completed a master’s degree and a

“I’ve had the greatest experience at IWU. I

love what I do.”

I N D I A N A W E S L E Y A N U N I V E R S I T Y 1 5

doctorate in the School of Education.

“I wrote my dissertation while I was studying at the

University of Ghana,” Mitchell said. “I went there with a

friend I met, whose father was a supreme court justice in

Ghana. I planned to stay for 10 days and wound up staying

for 18 months.

“I might have stayed longer, but the chair of my

dissertation committee at IU told me I needed to come

home to defend my dissertation,” he said.

Back in the States, Mitchell took a job at Albany State

University in Georgia as an administrator and professor.

He later returned to Gary, where he took a job with the

public school system, but kept the teaching job in Georgia –

commuting every other weekend.

Mitchell said the move back to Indiana was a “godsend”

because that is where he first became acquainted with

Indiana Wesleyan University.

“When I came back to Indiana, I hadn’t even heard of

IWU,” he said. “An assistant superintendent of the Gary

Schools, who I really respected, told me I would be a good

fit for IWU.

“Then I got a phone call from a friend in Texas, the vice

president of a university, who told me there was a regional

dean position open at IWU. After getting the same message

from two people, I began to think that maybe this was a

God thing.”

Mitchell submitted an application, got the job and began

work in September of 2010.

“I’ve had the greatest experience at IWU. I love what I do,”

Mitchell said. “One thing I really love about IWU is that I

truly know the University is what it says it is, unashamedly

Christian.

“I love it even more because we take that into the

classroom, we take that into the community, we take that into

every walk of life. That alone is something that does my heart

good and touches the hearts of the people we serve,” he said.

When Dr. Grace Ju Miller was growing up in the Philip-pines, she was surrounded by poverty. She walked

through slums on her way to school. “I had the privilege of seeing poverty at a very young age,”

Miller said.Privilege? “Images of poverty always were ingrained on my mind. So,

when I was in college, I felt compelled to do something about it,” she said.

Still, when she graduated from Duke University with a dou-ble major in biology and art, she had a decision to make.

“I could go on to study art in southern France, or one of my botany professors said I could do a research assistantship in Taiwan,” she said. “I chose Taiwan because I always had this idea I could use my science to help the poor.”

Miller stayed in Taiwan for a year, doing research – but mostly affirming her career decision.

“I got my feet wet in the lab and really liked it,” she said. “I

had ups and downs and experiments that failed, but I began to feel seriously that this is where my passion is.”

Back in the States, Miller enrolled in graduate school at the University of California-Davis. “I became engrossed in the bio-chemistry of rice and got my master’s degree in that area from the Department of Agronomy,” she said.

After working a year in California, Miller was accepted into a doctoral program at Purdue University where she received a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to continue her studies with rice.

Again, it was decision time for Miller: more education vs. the mission field.

“The big thing that affected me was a missions conference where a Chinese pastor was speaking. He had been in prison in China, was tortured and finally released,” Miller said. “I told him I had this opportunity to get my Ph.D. but that I also had a longing to work in missions.

“He told me to get my doctorate because it would be a more

powerful instrument to get me into countries as a missionary,” she said.

Miller took the pastor’s advice, completed her doctorate at Purdue and thought she was ready to go straight to overseas work. Instead, a Bible study teacher convinced her she first needed teaching experience.

“I went to Gordon College, a Christian college in Massachusetts, got married and began teaching a class called Crops and Soci-ety,” Miller said. “I am still teaching the class at IWU. Crops and Society has fulfilled the passion I have for linking plant biology to the developing world.”

That class eventually led to what now has become a 10-year relationship between Miller and Educational Concerns for Hunger (ECHO) a Florida-based Christian organi-zation dedicated to fighting world hunger through ideas, sustainable agricultural infor-mation, training and seeds.

Miller left Gordon College in 2002 and became the Seed Bank director at ECHO for four years.

Miller still teaches a summer international seminar on sustainable tropical agriculture for IWU students. Students spend seven days on the ECHO campus in Fort Myers and 10 days in Honduras, working with missionaries and community development workers who are teaching farmers ways to farm and garden while becoming good stew-ards of the land.

Miller first learned of IWU a decade ago

when she was in charge of the seed program at ECHO. One of her interns was Cheryl Beckett, who had graduated with honors from IWU in 2000 with a major in biology.

Beckett later would use the skills she learned at ECHO by serving the people of Afghanistan for six years through commu-nity development, focusing on nutritional gardening and mother-child health.

In August 2010, Beckett was one of 10 medical volunteers who were shot to death in Afghanistan by unknown assailants. A year earlier, Miller had seen a job posting for a plant biologist at IWU.

“The only thing I knew about IWU was the Cheryl Beckett connection, so I decided to apply for the position,” Miller said.

At the time Miller accepted the job at IWU, she and her husband, Garth, had recently returned from teaching at an Amer-ican-operated orphanage in Morocco. They were living in Fort Myers, where they still owned a house. Neither had jobs.

“It was a real test of our faith,” Miller said. “I got a job in a Fort Myers food kitchen and commuted to Massachusetts to teach part-time at Gordon College.

“You know, God really does know what he is doing,” Miller said.

“I had worked with poverty overseas but had never really worked with local poverty in America. It really opened my eyes. We worked with elementary school kids in a program that provided backpacks filled with ready-to-eat food. These are kids who don’t eat a hot meal after lunch at school on Fri-day until breakfast on Monday,” she said.

After her long journey from her child-hood days in the Philippines to the campus of IWU, Miller feels as if she has found a home – teaching her Crops and Society class to students who are still trying to figure out what to do with their lives.

“I think that I really have a passion for undergraduate learning,” she said. “That is a critical time for students in developing their goals and their careers. If I taught at a bigger school, it would be mostly graduate students that I would be mentoring, and they have pretty much decided what they want to do.

“I really value my experience at IWU and am grateful that God brought me here,” she said.

The Miracle of Moringa Leaves

Dr. Grace Ju Miller, in her mission to fight world hunger through sustainable agriculture, has done extensive study of Moringa oleifera, which is hailed as the “Miracle Tree” for its impressive resume of nutritional, hygienic and medicinal uses.

Moringa leaf powder, Miller said, has been used in many feeding programs where malnutrition is a problem.

Her research has focused specifically on comparing the protein levels of Moringa leaves grown in different environments.

Miller was a mentor for the first Hodson Summer Research Institute in 2011. She and Jacob Eckles, senior from Adrian, Michigan, did Moringa leaf research in the Burns Hall of Science and Nursing greenhouse.

Miller continued the research project during the fall 2011 semester with two other students, Seth Masterson and Kaylee Trout. Another student who was previously involved in the project, Ann Booker, has graduated.

Wesley Seminary at Indiana Wesleyan University is

partnering with some successful and innovative

congregations in The Wesleyan Church to extend the seminary

experience beyond the classroom.

In September, 10 seminary students participated in a

weeklong elective class, “Church Laboratory at 12Stone®,”

at 12Stone Church in Lawrenceville, Georgia, a suburb of

Atlanta.

The class was designed to show how a healthy and

growing congregation is participating in the mission of God

and being the people of God in their local context. Students

were able to participate in the weekend ministries of the

church, which has multiple campuses in the Atlanta area.

Rev. Kevin Myers, a 1982 alumnus, is the senior pastor of

12Stone, which is the largest congregation in The Wesleyan

Church, based on attendance. Myers serves on the Boards of

Trustees for IWU and Wesley Seminary.

A similar elective is planned June 6-11, 2012, at 12Stone.

Dr. Dan Reiland, executive pastor of the congregation,

coordinates the class.

Another group of seminary students will spend the

week of May 16-22, 2012, in the Grand Rapids, Michigan,

area, participating in a class titled “Missional Church

Multiplication.”

The class will be hosted by the West Michigan District

of The Wesleyan Church and will be coordinated by Rev.

Chris Conrad. He is the district superintendent, as well as a

former church planter and director of Church Planting for

The Wesleyan Church.

Church planting principles and practices will be explored

in Grand Rapids, and Seminary students

will visit multiple church sites with

differing communities, congregations

and leadership approaches.

Dr. Phil Stevenson, former general

director of Evangelism and Church

Growth for The Wesleyan Church, will

teach the class. He is the district director

of Church Planting and Leadership for

the denomination’s Pacific Southwest

District.

“A goal of our class in Michigan is

to introduce our Seminary students to

the philosophy and strategies of church planting,” said

Dr. Wayne Schmidt, vice president of Wesley Seminary

at IWU. “There is a lot of variety in the West Michigan

District, including different size churches and different

leadership styles. We feel our students will get a great range

of exposures.”

Schmidt said the partnerships in Michigan and Georgia

are signature services that Wesley Seminary committed itself

to provide for The Wesleyan Church. “In fact,” Schmidt

said, “creating these ‘teaching church’ and ‘teaching district’

partnerships was among the top priorities established by Dr.

Jo Anne Lyon in conversation with the Seminary board.”

Lyon is a general superintendent of The Wesleyan

Church. Schmidt said he and denominational leaders have

discussed criteria for creating more partnerships.

“We want to say as a Seminary that we are serving pastors

and serving local churches,” Schmidt said. “We want that

vital connection.”

The classes in Georgia and Michigan may be audited, so

participants need not be registered Seminary students.

Joel Liechty, a student in the Seminary’s first cohort group,

participated in the class at 12Stone Church. He said it was

a great experience being exposed to a church that has more

than 10,000 worshippers.

“Problems come with that kind of growth, and it was

interesting to see how the church responds,” Liechty said.

“For example, how do you make a church of 10,000 seem

intimate so that people can grow as individuals and not just

be one of 10,000 people?”

Liechty and the other students attended a variety of

worship services and attended lectures presented by

multiple staff members of 12Stone. “We got a great

sampling of different worship settings and styles and could

compare what various speakers told us,” he said.

Liechty plans to graduate in May with his Master of Divinity

degree. He served two years as resident pastor at College

Wesleyan Church in Marion as part of his graduate work.

Thousands Benefit through

Bridges to Health

Since its opening in 2005, thousands of Grant County

residents have received free medical care through the

Bridges to Health clinic. IWU celebrates its community

members who helped to create and continue to support the

clinic.

For example:

• DavidCallecod,whoearnedanM.B.A.fromIWU,

first proposed the free clinic in 2004 when he was the

president and CEO of Marion General Hospital. He

now is a hospital administrator in Louisiana.

• PamLeslie,whohasanIWUmaster’sdegreein

community health nursing and teaches in IWU’s pre-

licensure nursing program, was a key player in the task

force that had the clinic up and running in less than a

year.

• MarilynHunter,amedicaldoctorwhograduated

from IWU, was among the first to volunteer at the

clinic where she serves as assistant medical director.

Hunter is a former missionary, who practices

medicine in Marion.

“Our community really pulled together quickly to make

the clinic happen,” said Kelley Hochstetler, Community

Education coordinator at Marion General Hospital who

serves as the president of the clinic board. “It was one of the

shortest start-up times of any similar clinic in the country.”

Bridges to Health, housed in a building that is owned

by the hospital, still depends heavily on the hospital for

financial support. But the clinic also enjoys strong support

from individuals and churches.

IWU’s involvement in the clinic has intensified. Leslie serves

on the clinic board and volunteers.

Rob Dawson, pre-licensure nursing program chair, is

on the paid staff. Dr. Adam Thompson, Athletic Training

Education director,

and Dr. Terry Neal,

Graduate School of

Nursing chair, also

regularly volunteer

at the clinic.

“When I first

heard about

Bridges to Health,

I knew I could

help and wanted

to be involved,”

Thompson said. “I

saw an opportunity

to offer my skills

and positively

impact the community.” He is often joined by students.

Other faculty members, mostly nurses, also volunteer at

the clinic.

Bridges to Health has provided opportunities for nursing

students and even pre-med students to work as volunteers

and to make up clinical classes under the supervision of

IWU nursing professors.

The clinic also provides practicum experience for IWU

students majoring in areas such as social work, business and

pastoral ministries.

Yui Iwase, a junior pre-med major, spent the summer

working as a clinic volunteer. “I was very excited for the

opportunity to volunteer and get some clinical hours,” she

said. ‘Having some interaction with patients will be very

important when I begin to fill out applications for medical

schools.”

Even though individual IWU students and faculty

members already are heavily involved with Bridges to Health, Hochstetler

and IWU officials are seeking ways to build more formal relationships

between the clinic and the University.

“IWU could help the clinic with things such as marketing and providing

release time for faculty members to work at the clinic,” Hochstetler said. “In

return, we could serve as a site for clinical rotations for nursing students and

provide more opportunities for various community outreach programs.

“I believe such a relationship could even add a new dimension to IWU that

might help with fund raising.

Bridges to Health does not charge for its services and is open only to

people without health insurance. Patients can earn up to 200 percent of the

povertylevel,about$21,000annually.

“A majority of our patients are working, some of them at two or three

jobs,” Hochstetler said. “Providing care so people can continue to work is a

primary objective for us.”

‘I Knew I Could Help and Wanted to Be Involved’

By Adam J. Thompson

Director, Athletic Training Education

I initially heard about Bridges to Health

from a co-worker who had students

volunteering a couple of times a month

at the clinic. I decided to visit the clinic

and talk with some of the health care

providers about what services were

being provided to patients.

I was amazed at how many patients

could readily use rehabilitation and

home exercise programs to treat a

variety of orthopedic injuries and

conditions. I knew I could help and

wanted to be involved. I saw an

opportunity to offer my skills and

positively impact the community.

I now perform clinical evaluations and

provide diagnoses for orthopedic injuries

and conditions. Once those problems are

determined, I also provide home exercise

and rehabilitation programs to help

patients recover more quickly.

All students in the Athletic Training

Education program volunteer time

at Bridges to Health – usually during

the sophomore or junior year of

undergraduate studies – to complete

part of their required general medical

rotation. This clinical experience has

been significantly strengthened by

IWU’s affiliation with Bridges to Health.

I believe this facility is one of the best

general medical experiences in the

region for athletic training students to

interact with patients and learn from the

providers at Bridges to Health.

Athlete Leah Whittaker Leaves Legacy

Women’s basketball student-athlete Leah Whittaker

passed away from colon cancer on August 16 at her home in

Princeville, Illinois. She was 19.

“The testimony that Leah will leave on the team is that we

watched her go through all this with an immense amount

of courage and she never lost her faith in God,” said Steve

Brooks, women’s basketball head coach. “It was her prayer that

through it all, whether she was healed here on earth or up in

heaven, that her life would be a testimony to those who she

came into contact with. She was successful in doing that.”

Whittaker’s battle lasted eight months after doctors

diagnosed her with stage four liver and colon cancer during

the first week of December, 2010. She fought the cancer

at clinics in Peoria, Illinois; Rochester, Minnesota; and

Washington, D.C.

“Leah’s courage and kind, loving spirit throughout her

battle truly impacted countless lives for Christ, and while we

are deeply saddened by her passing, we are grateful that she

is now pain free and with the Lord in paradise,” said Athletic

Director Mark DeMichael.

Whittaker was in the middle of her freshman year when she

was diagnosed. She leaves behind a legacy that has and will

reach many lives.

“I am committed that Leah’s testimony of courage, strength

and faith is a part of who we are every day,” Brooks said.

NAIA Membership is MaintainedIndiana Wesleyan University will continue to strengthen the

relationships and rivalries it enjoys in the Mid-Central College

Conference (MCC) of the National Association of Intercollegiate

Athletics (NAIA).

An IWU committee spent almost two years researching whether to

change IWU’s athletic affiliation from the NAIA to NCAA Division II.

A report on the NCAA Division II application initiative, prepared by

Athletic Director Mark DeMichael and Executive Vice President Keith

Newman, was presented to the Board of Trustees in October.

The MCC has eight member colleges in Indiana, and one each in

Ohio and Michigan. IWU has been an MCC member since 1968 when

the University began its intercollegiate athletic program.

IWU is the largest college in the MCC based on traditional

undergraduate enrollment.

Dual Honor is First in School History

The men‘s and women’s basketball teams claimed the Number

1 ranking in the first edition of the NAIA Division II Men’s

and Women’s Coaches’ Top 25 Polls that were released in late

November.

It is the first ever No. 1 ranking for the men’s team. The

women’s team was ranked No. 1 during the 2006-07 season, in

which the Lady Wildcats won the NAIA national championship

with a 38-0 record.

It also is the first time in 11 years for a university to have both

its men’s and women’s team at the top of the NAIA rankings.

The University of Saint Francis, like IWU a Mid-Central College

Conference (MCC) team, was the last to have achieved the honor

during the 1999-2000 season.

“Leah’s courage

and kind, loving

spirit throughout

her battle truly

impacted countless

lives for Christ.”

Volleyball Team Competes in NAIA Nationals

The women’s volleyball team competed in the NAIA National

Championships for only the second time in school history. The

team hosted and won the program’s first opening round game and,

as a result, advanced to the final site of the national championship

for the first time.

The Lady Wildcats ended their season with a 1-2 record in

Pool A at the national tourney in Iowa. Overall, the team ended

the season with a 36-6 record – the fourth most wins in a single

season for the volleyball program.

The Athletic Department has received the Champions of Character Five Star Award from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).

“The Champions of Character award is a testament to who we really are,” said Athletic Director Mark DeMichael. “We strive to win championships on the field, and that is important to us, but ultimately that means nothing to us if we’re not doing those things off the fields of competition that Champions of Character emphasizes.”

IWU scored points in five categories to earn the honor: character training, conduct in competition, academic focus, character recognition and character promotion. Institutions also earn points based on exceptional student-athlete grade-point averages and by having zero ejections during competition throughout the academic year.

“Things like our athletic commissioning service, and community service, and ministries to those outside our athletic department are what Champions of Character represents,” DeMichael said.

“Those things are ultimately the reason why we are here. Getting this award affirms that God is using us in areas outside of athletic competition, and we are grateful to him for providing those opportunities,” he said.

A school needed to earn 60 points to receive the honor. IWU finished with 82 points, which was first among Mid-Central College Conference (MCC) schools.

IWU will be recognized with the other recipients on the NAIA Champions of Character website, with a special web banner and a certificate noting the Five Star Award.

Women’s Tennis TeamHas Perfect Season The women’s tennis team, coached by Terry Porter, wrapped up a perfect season in October by winning the Mid-Central College Conference (MCC) championship for the 20th consecutive year. With the win, the team earned the MCC automatic berth to the NAIA National Championship in May in Mobile, Alabama. The team has finished the fall season undefeated for 16 straight years and the fall win streak stands at 209 matches, dating back to 1995. The team has won every MCC championship since it began competing in the conference in 1992.

Hinshaw Named Top Assistant Coach Larry Hinshaw, assistant volleyball coach for three seasons, was honored as the American Volleyball Coaches Association NAIA National Assistant Coach of the Year after helping to lead the volleyball team to its highest NAIA ranking in program history. The team won the MCC championship and won an opening round game in the NAIA national tourney. Hinshaw has 15 years of coaching experience at the collegiate, high school camp and club levels.

Athletic Department Receives Champions of Character Award

Women’s Cross Country Wins MCC Title

Five athletes earned all-conference honors as the No. 17-ranked

women’s cross country team won the program’s 12th Mid-Central

College Conference championship in the last 14 years.

“This conference championship means a lot,” said Head Coach

John Foss. “We’ve won 12 of the last 14, but this year we were

challenged. We knew we had good competition and wanted to do

our best. We were thrilled we survived.”

Earning spots on the MCC All-Conference Team were Beka

Bentle, Alyssa Foss, Alissa Peterson, Taylor Hite and Amanda

Johnson.

The women finished third in the NCCAA national tourney and

20th in the 32-team NAIA Nationals.

Two members of the IWU men’s cross country team, Andrew

Albert and Matt McAndrews, also qualified for the NAIA nationals.

They finished 87th and 153rd, respectively, in the 312-runner field.

What began with the 2009 induction of Joni

Eareckson Tada into Indiana Wesleyan University’s

Society of World Changers has developed into a partnership.

A course called “Beyond Suffering: A Christian View on

Disability Ministry,” which was developed by the Christian

Institute for Disability, is being taught on a limited basis

at IWU but may eventually become a part of the general

education curriculum. The course has its own textbook.

The Christian Institute for Disability is one of five flagship

programs affiliated with the Joni and Friends International

Disability Center, which was founded by Tada. The Center

is in Agoura Hills, California.

“Disabilities are not the only focus of the class,” said

Nathan Herring, director of Disability Services. “The focus

is on how we get a clear picture of God in a world where

people are hurting, where people are dying, where people

are broken.

“We serve this loving God that we talk about who won’t

let anything bad happen if we have faith that can move a

mountain,” he said. “So then, why do bad things happen?

Why do we have pain? Why do we have suffering?”

“Beyond Suffering” is being taught to one breakout

group in a general education class titled “Becoming World

Changers: Christian Faith and Contemporary Issues.”

The course will be offered twice in May 2012, once for

seminary students and once for undergraduates. Kathy

McReynolds, who designed and implemented the class at

Biola University in California, will teach the undergraduate

class. Herring and Rose Sprunger, an IWU nursing

professor, will teach the seminary class.

“A long-term goal is to make ‘Beyond Suffering’ one of

IWU’s required or alternate general education courses,”

Herring said.

Herring said that as many as 200 students have identified

themselves as being a student with a disability, but that

many disabilities are not visible. “When we talk about

diversity, we often leave out people with disabilities because

they do not all have physical disabilities,” he said. “Even

some physical disabilities cannot be seen.”

Herring, who became the first director of Disability

Services eight years ago, has a master’s degree in counseling

psychology and vocational rehabilitation. He said his role

varies from student to student.

“I’m a counselor and an advocate,” he said. “Sometimes

I play more of a pastoral role, sometimes a parental role. It

really depends on what students need. Sometimes they are

struggling academically, sometimes socially.”

Herring said the “Beyond Suffering” course is a keystone

for what IWU hopes will be other initiatives with Tada. “We

share a common goal of equipping people to become world

changers in their churches,” he said. “If you think of all the

places in the world that should be accepting of people who

are hurting, broken and suffering, you should think first of

the church.”

Being accepted to participate in the Liszt-Garrison

Festival and International Piano Competition is an

accomplishment in itself, but three music professors went

beyond that first step.

“I sent preliminary audition CDs as two entries in the

hopes that either one would make it to the semifinals of

this prestigious international piano competition,” said

Dr. Phoenix Park-Kim, an

associate professor of piano.

“The first entry was piano

and voice with Tammie

Huntington, and the other

was piano and cello with

Yeon-Ji Yun.

“In July, to my surprise,

I heard from the competition committee that both

entries had advanced to the semifinals. The judges

included a panel of 15 renowned musicians from all over

the world,” Park-Kim said. The competition was in October

at Notre Dame of Maryland University.

Park-Kim has taught at IWU since 2005. Huntington, an

associate professor of music who teaches voice and opera,

joined the IWU faculty in 2007. Yun has been an adjunct

instructor in cello and string quartet since 2009.

When the five-day competition ended, Park-Kim and Yun

received honorable mention among the three finalists in

the collaborative artist category. Park-Kim and Huntington

advanced to the second stage of the semifinals in the same

category.

There were more than 50 entries for the collaborative

artist category, but only eight semi-finalists were accepted

for the competition. The collaborative category is for a

pianist performing with another musician.

“We met and heard some amazing musicians perform

from all over the world,” Park-Kim said. “In fact, my team

was the only one from the United States among the six,

second-stage semifinalists. The rest were from Russia,

Bulgaria and Brazil.

“We felt honored and rewarded to be finalists after our

long journey leading up to the competition, which required

a lot of research, individual practice and group rehearsal.

I am so thankful to both Tammie and Yeon-Ji for their

wonderful musicianship and work which made this all

possible,” she said.

The three professors began preparing for the competition

in May.

Park-Kim said the Liszt-Garrison Festival, which began in

2006, is forward-thinking, as demonstrated by the separate

category for collaborative artists.

“There has been an increased awareness on the

importance of collaborative piano playing in recent

decades,” Park-Kim said. “Having a sole career as a concert

pianist is highly unrealistic except for a very limited few, but

there is much more demand for collaborative pianists.

“For a long time, college and conservatory music

programs have not emphasized collaborative piano, but

nowadays there are more music programs offering a degree

in collaborative piano. This is an area where pianists can

actually make a career, and it requires mature musicianship

and ensemble skills.

“As a result of this experience, I grew as a collaborative

pianist and hope to set an example for my piano students,

practicing what I preach,” Park-Kim said.

Eleven students filled the inaugural cohort of the Master

of Science in Nursing (MSN) and Master of Business

Administration (MBA) dual degree. The MSN/MBA, IWU’s

first dual degree, is a three-year online program.

“The dual degree is a program for nurses [who] are

interested in mid- to upper-management positions,” said Dr.

Debra Drake, an associate professor in the Graduate School of

Nursing. “It will have a strong emphasis on finances as well

as leadership in the health-care setting.”

Drake said that an MSN/MBA graduate could become a

hospital chief nursing officer, department director or unit

manager. The degree will include graduate-level courses in

finance, economics and accounting; organizational behavior,

nursing management and heath care finance; and nursing

theory, health care policy and ethics.

Drake said many hospitals are seeking to achieve ‘Magnet’

status, which is a form of accreditation offered to hospitals

with excellent support for nursing practice. “One of the

requirements of Magnets is that nurses have advanced

degrees in nursing,” Drake said. “This will be an excellent

degree for them.”

A new cohort is scheduled to begin in March 2012.

Joining

hands with the

Indianapolis

Colts and

United Way of

Central Indiana

resulted in the

renovation and

equipping of

a new Colts-

themed fitness

room for boys and girls at Christamore House in Indianapolis.

It was the second year that IWU had participated in a National

Football League “Hometown Huddle” event. A year ago, IWU helped to

equip a room at an Indianapolis-area Boys and Girls Club.

Christamore House, a United Way agency, provides early childhood

education, after-school programming and senior citizen services. The

fitness room is part of the NFL’s PLAY 60 initiative, which encourages

youth to be active for at least 60 minutes a day.

The room, which previously had not been used, was painted to

resemble the Colts locker room and features new flooring, fitness

equipment, a universal workout machine and two Wii Fit systems with

flat-screen TVs and Colts memorabilia.

The renovations were made possible through contributions from IWU,

the Colts, NFL charities, hhgregg, Fatheads and Sherwin-Williams.

Volunteers from the Indianapolis North Education Center painted the

fitness room and participated in its dedication.

Indianapolis Colts Sponsorship Benefits Indianapolis Youth Fusion:

A High School Worship Experience

Thousands of students will gather in Indiana

Wesleyan University’s Chapel Auditorium on

March 30-31, 2012, for a worship experience

unlike any they have had before. More than a

college visit, the Fusion Youth Conference is a

campus movement dedicated to providing space

for high school students to grow closer to God

and experience the love of Christ.

Fusion, hosted by Student Ministries, is the

largest youth event in Grant County and draws

students from churches throughout the country.

IWU students play a key role in planning and

staging the conference.

“Fusion provides an awesome opportunity

for IWU students to minister to high school

students,” said Keith Chapman, one of the Fusion

student executive directors. “IWU students

are able to love these high school students by

volunteering to work the Fusion events and by

housing them in their dorm rooms which opens

up a doorway for relationships.”

More than 800 students are expected to attend

the 2012 conference. Students will participate in

the Friday Night Rally and the Fusion Conference

on Saturday, which consists of additional rallies,

multiple breakout sessions and other activities

on campus. Every student who attends Fusion

will receive a copy of Darren Whitehead’s newest

book Rumors of God: Experience the Kind of Faith

You’ve Only Heard About.

The Friday Night Rally is open to anyone,

not just high school students attending Fusion.

This year’s rally focuses on worship. Darren

Whitehead, a teaching pastor at Willow Creek

Community Church near Chicago, will speak.

In addition to Whitehead, the Brandon Grissom

Band will return to lead worship. Spoken-word

poet Sharon Irving will also perform, speaking

about the ultimate price Christ paid for us.

Kiplinger’s Personal Finance has named Indiana Wes-

leyan University one of the “100 Best Values in Private

Universities.” The report ranked the schools based on

academic quality and economic value.

IWU made the list because of a high four-year gradua-

tion rate, low average debt at graduation, good student-

to-faculty ratio, excellent on-campus resources and

overall great value, according to a news release from

Kiplinger’s. The 200 private universities and colleges on the two lists

were chosen from a pool of more than 600 private institu-

tions in America, according to Kiplinger’s.“The institutions on Kiplinger’s rankings for best value

in private colleges represent schools that provide high-

quality academics as well as affordable cost even in these

tough times,” said Jane Bennett Clark, senior associate

editor for Kiplinger’s Personal Finance. “With money tight

and the college choice so important, you have every rea-

son to expect the best bang for your buck.”

The annual Top 100 ranking appeared in the Decem-

ber issue of Kiplinger’s.

Kiplinger’s Names IWU Top Value in Universities

It was a morning of contrasting emotions as students gathered for a chapel service on November 28. The joy of beginning Advent was tempered by the tragic news that a fellow student, Christopher Backus, had died over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

“As a community of faith, we gathered in chapel services Monday to experience the power of presence and prayer,” said Dr. Keith

Newman, executive vice president.Backus was the third residential student to die during the fall

2011 semester. Leah Whittaker, 19, a member of the women’s basketball team, died August 16 at her home in Princeville, Illinois, after an eight-month battle with colon cancer.

Nicholas Dietrich, 20, died August 24 as the result of a one-car automobile accident near his home in Napoleon, Ohio.

Whittaker would have been a sophomore. Dietrich, who was majoring in psychology, would have been a junior.

Backus, an IWU junior from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, was one of four people killed November 26 in the crash of a single-engine airplane near Crystal Lake, Illinois. Backus, 22, was majoring in criminal justice.

“The tragic death of our student, along with three beloved members of the Marion community, drew us together to be reminded of our own mortality, the importance of faith and the value of relationships,” Newman said.

“Our verse of the year, Deuteronomy 31:6, calls for us to ‘be strong and courageous,’” President Henry Smith spoke to students in chapel. “When the verse was chosen, we had no idea that we would be called on so often to put those words into practice.”

“We had a much different chapel planned for today, but as we reflected on this weekend’s tragedy we believed that our community needed an opportunity to be still before God, hear from His word and offer our prayers for the Harris and Backus families,” Smith said.

Backus was aboard a plane being flown by Ray Harris, a 46-year-old Marion auto dealer, who also died in the crash along with his two daughters, Ramie Harris, 21, and Shey Harris, 20.

Professor Jack Brady, who heads IWU’s criminal justice program, described Backus as a smart and interesting student who had a lot of friends. “He always wanted to help people,” Brady said.

The Chronicle of Higher Education has named IWU one of the best colleges in the nation to work for. The results of The Chronicle’s fourth annual report on The Academic Workplace were based on a survey of nearly 44,000 workers at 310

colleges and universities. Only 111 of the institutions surveyed were recognized.

IWU won honors in two categories:

• Leadership. IWU was specifically honored for supervisors who build good relationships with their staffs by making

their expectations clear and soliciting ideas.

• Workplace. The survey said IWU facilities meet needs, the campus appearance is pleasing and steps are taken to

provide a secure environment for workers.

Colleges were honored in three categories – small, medium and large – and IWU fell into the large category with more

than 10,000 students.

IWU received similar honors in 2009 from The Chronicle of Higher Education. The weekly Washington, D.C.-based

magazine considers itself to be the most widely-read source of information for leaders in higher education.

IWU also has been honored three times in recent years as one of the Best Christian Workplaces. The Best Christian

Workplaces Institute also bases that honor on a survey of IWU employees.

IWU has about 1,000 employees.

IWU Named “Great College to Work For” in 2011

campus news

IWU ranks 25th among Regional

Universities in the Midwest in U.S. News & World Report ‘s 2012 edition of

“America’s Best Colleges.” IWU ranked

28th last year.

IWU’s overall score in the rankings

rose, and its peer assessment score

also increased. There are 146 regional

universities in the Midwest.

IWU also appeared on two

specialized lists in the 2012 rankings:

“Great Schools, Great Prices” and

“A-Plus Schools for B Students.”

IWU ranked 12th among Regional

Universities in the Midwest in the

“Great Schools, Great Prices” section.

U.S. News describes the process for

choosing colleges for this category:

“The calculation used here takes

into account a school’s academic

quality, based on its U.S. News Best

Colleges ranking, and the 2010-2011

net cost of attendance for a student

who receives the average level of need-

based financial aid.

“The higher the quality of the

program and the lower the cost, the

better the deal. Only schools ranked in

or near the top half of their categories

are included, because U.S. News considers the most significant values

to be among colleges that are above

average academically.”

The “A-Plus Schools for B Students”

were not ranked but were listed

alphabetically. IWU was one of 37

regional universities in the Midwest on

the list. U.S. News describes the process

for choosing these schools:

“So you’re a scholar trapped in the

GPA of a B student, and your heart is

set on a top college. There’s hope. U.S. News has again this year screened the

schools it ranks to identify those where

nonsuperstars have a decent shot at

being accepted and thriving – where

spirit and hard work could make all

the difference in admissions offices.

“To make this list, colleges and

universities had to admit a meaningful

proportion of applicants whose test

scores and class standing put them in

non-‘A’ territory. Since many schools truly

seek a broad, engaged student body, be

sure to display your individuality as you

apply. And emphasize why School X is

the fit for you.”

Regional universities, according to U.S. News, offer a full range of undergraduate

and master’s programs but few, if any,

doctoral programs. IWU offers master’s

degrees in business administration,

management, counseling, education,

ministry and nursing, and has a doctoral

program in organizational leadership.

Kyle Anderson says he has been

living his life in four-year blocks:

four years of undergraduate work

at Indiana Wesleyan University;

four years of medical school at

Northwestern University; four

years of residency at Cleveland

Clinic.

But Anderson is quick to say it

was his four years at IWU that laid

the solid foundation on which he

has built the succeeding years.

“I have never felt that I was limited in any way because

I attended a small university,” Anderson said. “I actually

feel better prepared and more rounded because my

IWU education was built on the strong foundation of

Jesus Christ and at a school where professors took a

real interest in students’ lives, both academically and

personally. Academically, there were no limitations

whatsoever.”

Anderson first checked out IWU at the suggestion of

his father, who had grown up in The Wesleyan Church.

“I knew I wanted to play soccer in college and major in

pre-med, and I knew I wanted to attend a small, Christian

liberal arts school,” Anderson said. “I went to IWU for a

visit and came away with a really good feeling. I got along

well with the soccer coach and was impressed by the

academic standing of the University.”

Anderson never wavered from his initial goals. He

earned four letters in soccer and was the valedictorian of

the Class of 2005 with majors in biology and pre-med.

“I’ve always been well motivated and knew what I

wanted to do,” Anderson said. “IWU provided the tools to

do it. It worked out very well.”

Prior to his senior year at IWU, Anderson and his

high school sweetheart were married in their home

state of Kansas, and the following year they headed

to Northwestern University School of Medicine in

downtown Chicago. Northwestern was Anderson’s first

choice because of its academic reputation – and because

he and his wife wanted to live in a big city.

Anderson’s wife, Laura, has an art studio degree from

the University of Missouri – and the two carried on a

long-distance relationship during their college years. They

have two children, Luke Allan and Everly Joy.

“I was fortunate enough to go straight into medical

school and had a great experience there,” Anderson

said. “I felt especially blessed to go to a school such as

Northwestern after coming from a smaller college such as

IWU. Many of my medical school classmates came from

Ivy League schools, but I never felt I was short-changed

because of going to a small school.”

Anderson decided during medical school to specialize

in dermatology and was accepted into a four-year

residency program at the Cleveland Clinic – again one of

his top choices. He will complete the residency in mid-

2013.

“I chose dermatology because I like the outpatient

clinic setting, and what it does for patients, but I also like

doing surgical procedures,” he said. “Dermatology is one

of the few fields where you can combine the two.

“I also chose dermatology, kind of selfishly, because

it is one of the medical sub-specialties that offers a

better quality of life, where you are not forced to work

particularly long hours. I always knew I wanted to be a

doctor and that was very important to me, but my family

is the most important part of my life. I did not want to

sacrifice that part of my life. I also want to be able to

take advantage of opportunities to be involved in the

community where we live and to participate in mission

events as much as possible,” Anderson said.

Anderson is the third doctor in his family. His

brother is a radiology resident at Duke University, and

their father is a veterinarian who works as head of the

diagnostic laboratories at Kansas State University, College

of Veterinary Medicine. In addition, his mother is a

registered nurse.

Anderson said he is leaning toward a general practice of

dermatology after he completes his residency.

Our 2011-2012 Verse of the Year emphasizes God’s call for us to be strong and courageous. One way I see this

call being lived out is through our scholarship program. Because of men and women who selflessly give so that

others can learn, our students graduate better equipped to live lives that are strong and courageous. Together,

we build God’s Kingdom – present and future.

Following is a listing of IWU scholarship donors and recipients. I am known for my love of stories. Every

name you see below has a story; a story in which the IWU community is honored to play a part. As you read

through these names, you are invited to offer prayers of gratitude for those faithful to God – faithful to give and

faithful to grow.

Life stories are being shaped and shared every day at IWU. I invite you to join me in waiting expectantly for

the next chapters.

God bless you.
