from the president

Dear Friends,There is much going on at Charleston Southern. Our academic year has started with a 10 percent

increase in new students and a total enrollment of 3,298 students, and our residence halls are at

full capacity.

The campus has a fresh, new look too. We have completed the second phase of our $16 million

residence hall renovation project. The new brick walkway enhances the Reflection Pond, and

construction of the new Christian Leadership Building continues at the center of campus. Ground

was broken during Homecoming for the new Athletic Center to house football and track & field

locker rooms and training facilities.

In this issue we are pleased to highlight our graduate, Tim Scott, a United States Congressman.

Tim shares his thoughts about keeping his faith strong as he lives in the public eye.

In addition to news about what’s happening around campus, you’ll find a feature on our new

campus minister, Jon Davis. Jon is not a stranger at CSU. He first served as an assistant football

coach in the ’90s. Most recently he has been pastor of Summit Church and the head of the CSU

Fellowship of Christian Athletes program.

You will also find our annual list of donors in this issue. We are grateful for the continued support

of our faithful donors who are investing in the lives of our precious students.

Sincerely,

Jairy C. Hunter, Jr.

President

FAITH &polITIcsthe Faith-Filled Journey oF

Tim scottHe spends his time as a freshman congressman hobnobbing with some of Washington’s elite.

His aides follow him everywhere, guarding his precious moments, even at his alma mater, where he’s

scheduled an hour for videotaping and an interview.

When he arrives on campus on an August afternoon, the heat index has climbed to 112;

he has already spoken to a chamber of commerce, attended a luncheon and has a full afternoon scheduled.

For his formal photograph, we select a wingback chair in the lobby of the Chapel,

and when he sits down he laughingly discovers that the chair reclines.

He’s on his home turf, among friends, feeling comfortable and relaxed.

Halfway through the interview, his feet hit the floor, he rests his arms on his knees,

leans forward and speaks with intensity – because now we’re talking about Tim Scott’s faith.

the Faith Factor

“Politics is my mission field,” said Scott. “I don’t do it well all the time, but I am an ambassador for the Lord’s love all the time.” And Scott knows sometimes that love has to be tough. He is serious about the teaching about Christians and government authorities found in Romans 13.

“As a country, I want to correct where we’re wrong and emphasize where we’re right,” said Scott. “My goal is to be a public servant who seeks divine wisdom from the Lord.”

Scott, a Lowcountry native, was attending Presbyterian College on a small football scholarship when he gave his life to the Lord. “I decided that the Lord wanted me to do something with my life besides play football,” said Scott. He received a Christian Leadership Scholarship from Charleston Southern and Morris Street Baptist Church which allowed him to enroll at CSU.

Scott describes his time at Charleston Southern as a time where he was back at home, surrounded by people who loved him and were committed to the Lord. “One of the things that happened during my four years at CSU was the ability to learn how to think, how to process, how to plan, to uncover my potential,” he said. “The Lord’s Word, the Bible itself, is an opportunity to excavate, to dig into it and bring out the pearls and the jewels that are important for what He has called you to do. And you discover that on this campus in a way that is very meaningful, and I believe it was part of the foundation that serves me today,” he said.

He credits his professors, especially Dr. Gerald Hasty of the political science department, with showing him that our country needs politicians with strong character. “At that point I can’t pretend I was thinking about going to Congress, but I was thinking about finding ways to serve the country. I always felt like the Lord had given me a promise that if I would do all that I could do with what I had that he would expand it and make it something valuable.”

keeping it real

Life in the public eye in Washington, D.C., can be brutal. The pull of power can be enticing. Scott meets with his prayer partner when he is in Charleston. “Having that prayer partner is critically important to staying true,” he said.

“I recently read a book by Tim Keller called Counterfeit Gods,” said Scott. “I believe all men have an idol. It is either the Supreme God, or we are making an idol of something which is less than the Supreme God.”

Scott credits spending time with people, scriptures and prayer with keeping him grounded. “Coming home is good, too,” he said. “The more time I spend with God, the less I am like myself – which is a good thing.

“It’s so important to have a relationship with Jesus that’s alive,” said Scott. “Your relationship can’t just be what you experienced last week, or last year. I always want to feel my best days of faith are still ahead, that my heart is aching for what makes God’s heart ache. Right now I am more in love with Jesus and desperate for His wisdom and presence than I’ve been in a long time.”

the mentorScott credits the late John Moniz, who owned a Chick-

fil-A restaurant in Northwoods Mall, with turning his life around and pointing a directionless high school student toward a life of purpose. These days, Scott serves as a mentor to several people.

He is passionate about helping others realize their potential and is a frequent speaker on the topic.

“We all have the power of influence,” said Scott. Three things shape what we do when we mentor others.

“You have to maximize the purpose – to realize the specific purpose you are called to fulfill,” said Scott. He cites Jeremiah 29:11, which says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” “This doesn’t necessarily mean material prosperity, but it is based on God’s plan for you,” said Scott. “Understanding His purpose allows you to fulfill His plan.”

Scott is a planner, and he wants others to plan as well. “I like to say I’m with the GOP – goals on paper,” Scott joked. “To maximize your experience here on earth, you have to plan.”

Scott stressed that mentors have to understand their potential. “You have to understand God’s purpose to understand your potential,” he said. He likes to use the example of a mother’s purpose. Her purpose isn’t to be a friend to her children, but to parent her children. Over time the relationship changes, but her initial purpose is to parent.

“As you mature, you understand God’s purpose for you more – it leads to more illumination,” he said. “Missing this notion of purpose lets us drift, and we don’t maximize our potential.”

Scott is realistic about the problems facing our government and leaders. “I see the problems of our nation and our survival,” said Scott. “I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, when my life is in His hands, I am safe as I can be.”

The freshman congressman from South Carolina is right where he wants to be.

CSU vol.21 no.3.indd 7 11/7/11 3:19 PM


Jonathan Davis moved to the Lowcountry in May 1991, three months before his contract began as an assistant football coach at Charleston Southern University. He lived alone and worked for no pay – his wife, Lynette, left behind in New Jersey, worked to support both of them – to pursue his dream in the competitive world of college athletics.

He caught the football bug as an assistant head coach at Holy Cross High School in New Jersey, followed by a graduate assistant position at Temple University. He worked long days and nights hoping to climb the college football ranks and brand his name synonymous with the game.

Football stole his heart and became his identity; wins and losses were the measuring stick; his purpose in life was defined by a slice of brown pigskin held together by eight stitches. The game of football had assumed the place of God in Davis’ life.

“Football was my God,” confessed Davis. “If anything got in the way of football, if anything got in my way of being a head football coach at a major university, whatever that might be, it was going to move out of the way. I was married to football.”

College football has its unwritten rules. To win, you must be focused. No distractions. When Temple learned Davis was married he almost lost the job. When he found out he prepared his wife, Lynette.

“If Notre Dame calls and they say I can’t be married, I’m leaving you,” he told her.

The comment wasn’t some offhanded wisecrack – it was a stone-cold promise. There was no way a relationship, a marriage, was going to stand between Davis and his dream job.

“My wife was devastated,” Davis said. “Our marriage was struggling because of my selfishness, and she showed grace. That was a defining moment in my life. To see her forgive and love and care for me, when I was self- centered … I praise God that he saved me from myself.”

A personAl grAce AwAkenIng

Davis was a believer. He sold himself to family, friends and the university as a Christian. But the truth was God was a redshirt freshman who was praised after a big win or called on as a “good luck charm” during a close game. Davis would reach out to Him when a friend or family member was ill; when He didn’t respond as expected, bitterness took over.

It was 1992 on the University of Alabama at Birmingham football field Davis hit rock bottom.

“I remember it being the lowest point in my coaching career,” he said. “I’d never felt such emptiness. Here I was coaching my heart out – and feeling emptiness. I needed Jesus.”

This was his personal grace awakening. Davis rededicated his life in 1993 and continued to coach at Charleston Southern, but he was certain the Lord was preparing him for something new.

In 1998, Davis was offered a head coaching job at a junior college in Kansas. He turned down the offer. A year later he was offered the job as head football coach and director of athletic ministry at North Greenville, again, he said no thank you.

“Jon, you’ve worked your whole life for this, to be a head coach, what’s going on?” asked Lynette.

Davis said he felt God leading him into ministry.“God began to slowly wean me out of football,” said

Davis. “When God moved in, the Holy Spirit moved in, and I rededicated my life; I was not the same person. My idol was football. God was secondary, not a priority in my life. It just shows you the power of God.”

A verse comes To lIFe

Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come. – Psalm 71:18

Psalm 71:18 is Jonathan Davis’s life verse. He believes God gave it to him while in seminary. Davis said he didn’t know why, or even what the significance of the verse was – it was just there. In his mind, his thoughts, his prayer.

In December 1997, Davis began pastoring Summit Church and later the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. In 2003, he began teaching, adding assistant campus minister duties a year later. This past summer he was promoted to campus minister at Charleston Southern, replacing Clark Carter, who was promoted to dean of students.

“When I said yes that I would do this, it was a Tuesday,” said Davis. “That Tuesday night we baptized 45 people. That’s when I knew God’s hand was in it.

“I don’t know how else to describe the Holy Spirit except like Jesus said in John 3:8, ‘The wind blows where it chooses’ and to see the Holy Spirit just open our eyes and let us experience Him. I can’t imagine anybody that was there (Grace Awakening) not being able to look back at this and it be one of their top five spiritual mile markers in their life.

“To impart and declare the power of God to the next generation is what gives me hope. What we’ve seen with Grace Awakening, God is doing something with this generation. I see the believers in this generation that really want to learn from people that have been there. So, I see my life verse being played out before my eyes, and I just knew that God was in it.”

grAce AwAkenIng As campus minister, Davis is responsible for leading a

campus dominated by young people. He is witnessing to believers and nonbelievers, some are teenagers, others adults. Davis defined his new role as campus minister as all-inclusive.

“Pastoring is not pastoring a church, it’s pastoring a community,” he said. “I’ve taken that mindset to campus, that I’m not just pastoring the ministries on this campus that I’m trying to pastor everybody on this campus, regardless of where they are in their faith, I’m going to try and pastor them. That’s my heart.”

According to Davis, the transition from coach to pastor at CSU was natural. The University’s vision of integrating faith in learning, leading and serving has been gaining momentum.

“There are some strong believers on campus among faculty and staff,” he said. “To see the encouragement on this campus, to see people fired up about God and see this as a ministry and not a job – it inspires me.”

Davis said today’s college students are entering into a season when they “make the biggest decisions of their lives.” Careers, marriage, responsibility, accountability, suddenly life takes a sharp 90-degree turn, an experience Davis is all too familiar with.

“If you’re not careful, when you’re in college it can become a very selfish time because it’s all about what I’m going to do with my life, what I’m doing, who I’m going to be with,” he said. “So, to get people to live outside themselves is the challenge – to see people, instead of being takers become givers. That’s really why I enjoy what I do, and I’m so thankful to the Lord and this University for giving me that opportunity.”

T he student affairs division promoted several staff members this summer.

Rev. Clark Carter ’87, former campus minister, is the new dean of students. Carter provides leadership for student discipline,

S arah Hathcock started her nursing under-graduate studies in 2001. Since then she has managed a full schedule with a job

caring for her family and furthering her educa-tion. She is currently studying to receive her master of science in nursing.

Her diligent work has earned her the American Sub-Contractor’s Roy H. Lightsey Jr. Scholarship for $2,500.

Hathcock attributes her ability to handle the challenging nursing classes at Charleston South-ern to her faith, family and friends. She and her husband, Michael, have a daughter and a son. She works at her daughter’s school, Oakbrook Elementary, as the school nurse.

student life, campus ministries and the general oversight of the work of the associate dean and assistant deans in the division.

Carter says serving as campus minister helps in his role as dean of students. “It helped me

to get an up-close and personal view of the great potential of our students,” said Carter. “In today’s world, we hear so much negative news about college students. Words like lazy and directionless are often used to

describe them. But I have found that so many of our students are hardworking, faithful and passionate about serving the Lord and others.

“I also still see myself as a minister of the gos-pel. God called me into vocational ministry 28 years ago…and that call

will never change,” said Carter.

She said, “Nursing is one of the most amazing callings that a person could ever accept because it gives you the opportunity to serve God, your community and promote wellness.”

After she receives her master’s degree in December she hopes to obtain a faculty position where she can “pre-pare future nurses to practice nursing with competency and compassion.”

“Sarah is an outstanding graduate student who has maintained a 4.0 GPA in the program and is on track to graduate in December with our second graduating class,” said Dr. Tara Hulsey, dean of the Derry Patter-son Wingo School of Nursing.

“These promotions and new appointments will strengthen the student life department’s partnership with our academic colleagues to build a thriving learning community built on learning, leading and serving,” said Dr. Rick Brewer, vice president for student affairs and athletics.

Dr. Hester Young is the assistant dean of students for student services. Young provides leadership for career planning, service learning and multicultural programming.

Corey Humphries ’04, ’09 MSCJ, is assistant dean of students for campus life. Humphries provides leadership for residence life, campus security, student activities and recreational services.

Barbara Mead continues to serve as associ-ate dean of students for student development. Mead provides leadership for the Counseling Center, international students and life skills programming.

dr. and Mrs. tim spurling

1 john 3:2 “but we know that when he appears, [a] we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” one day we will be like him – if this is true we are works in progress on our way to being a masterpiece. if the work is progressing, it stands to reason that we should see something of beauty emerging from our lives; we should see that change happening. We should look different than we did 10 years ago, look more like him, act more like him and sound more like him. that’s what i see in my wife, Susan, whom i love.

the Presidential Council and our yearly mission trips to romania (We have completed 13 mission trips to romania.) are two ways we have seen the change in our lives. the trips to romania are reaching out to those that the world has neglected and abused and rejected. the love for them is god’s doing; without Christ in our lives these changes would never have taken place.

We are proud of our family: our oldest daughter, alicia Streett, owns and runs an equestrian center in Florence; Charlie, her husband, runs a fabrication company; their two children, alex and kristen, attend kings academy in Florence; our second daughter, amanda Spurling, is now a graduate student at the Citadel working on an advanced degree in psychology; our third daughter, ashley taylor, graduated from Charleston Southern University and has just returned from 1 year in China as a missionary. our youngest, zachary taylor, is a sophomore at Columbia international University. a son, tj, was lost in a car accident at 16, but we know that he is in heaven. the lord has blessed us in too many ways to count.

We are blessed with many patients and friends, the by-product of practicing medicine in one place for 26 years.

CAPS AddS ONlINe CONCeNTRATION IN PROJeCT MANAGeMeNT

T he College of Adult and Professional Studies has added a new, fully online undergraduate degree concentration in

project management.Project management has become an industry

standard with opportunities ranging from the management of large government contracts to multiple projects within private industry. The need for comprehensively trained, certified project managers has become increasingly important to growing companies.

The CAPS degree concentration approaches project management from a business versus engineering perspective. Course offerings have been developed to prepare students for success when taking industry certification exams. Or-ganizations that provide certification for project managers, as well as Fortune 500 leading companies, were consulted in the development of these courses. Building upon the existing bachelor’s degree program in business manage-ment, the new concentration will consist of six additional courses for those desiring to focus their studies on this area.

CAPS, through its partnership with Pearson LearningStudio, a leading company in educa-tion and online learning delivery, relied on curriculum design experts to develop courses that meet the intensive project management standards set by the industry.

For more information about the CAPS online degree: charlestonsouthern.edu/caps

A quintet of former Buccaneers had their legacies cemented in history when they were inducted into the Hall of Fame

Oct. 2. Josh Aydlette (track and field), An-thony Reed (track and field), D’Angelo Dereef (football), Collin Drafts (football) and Priscilla Lauoletolo Moleni (women’s volleyball) com-prise the class of 2011.

A four-time Big South Conference indoor weight throw champion, Aydlette is the school record holder in both the weight throw and the indoor shot put. He posted the BSC’s best mark in the weight throw in 2000 and 2002. Aydlette, who competed for the Bucs from 1999-2002, is now the throws coach for CSU, guiding his athletes to five school records – many of which have been broken multiple times.

“I was very excited to hear that I was selected to be in the Athletic Hall of Fame,” said Ayd-lette. “It makes me feel good that all the hard

work I put in as a student-athlete didn’t go un-noticed. Great things are going on at CSU, and I’m glad to be a part of them.”

Fellow track and field athlete Anthony Reed was also inducted. In his time with the Bucca-neers, Reed broke both the BSC Indoor Overall record in the triple jump (15.64m) as well as the BSC Championship meet record in the same event (15.31m). He is the CSU record holder in the long jump (7.36m) and the triple jump (15.64m).

Reed was the Big South Outdoor Long Jump Champion in 1998 and 1999, earned indoor triple jump titles in both 1998 and 1999 and holds the BSC outdoor record in the event at 15.63m. Reed ended his career as a two-time Big South Conference Most Outstanding Athlete (Indoors). Reed is pastor of Martin Memorial AME Church in Miami, Fla.

Football’s D’Angelo Dereef is the school record holder in both rushing attempts (485)

and rushing yards (1,741). He also holds career records in kick-off returns (75) as well as punt returns (69), and is in the top five in CSU his-tory in total offense. Dereef ended his career with 1,741 rushing yards and 329 career receiv-ing yards. A Buccaneer from 1991-94, Dereef is second all-time in single game rushing attempts and fifth in single game rushing yardage. He is second all-time in all-purpose yards with 278 after his record was broken in 2008 and also holds the eighth spot on the list as well. Dereef remains the all-time leader in all-purpose yards with 3,795 and is sixth in scoring with 108 points (18 touchdowns).

“I’m very excited to be inducted into the CSU Hall of Fame,” said Dereef. “It’s overwhelming and an honor to be recognized for something that I worked so hard for and love so much.” Dereef is dean of students, football and baseball coach at Al Raby High School in Chicago, Ill.

2005 Big South Offensive Player of the Year and led the Buccaneers to their first Big South Championship in that season. He led the league in pass completions in 2004, 2005 and 2006 and also led in pass completion percent-age in 2004 and 2006. Drafts finished the 2004 and 2005 seasons as the BSC’s leader in passing yardage and passing touchdowns and also led the conference in total offensive yards in 2005.

The only quarterback in Big South history to throw for 400 yards in a game, Drafts did so twice. He ended his career with three all-con-ference selections, two of which were first team honors. Drafts, who played for the Bucs from 2003-2006, is CSU’s all-time leader in rushing attempts, touchdowns, pass attempts (BSC record), pass completions (BSC record), passing yardage (BSC record), passing touchdowns (BSC record), completions percentage (BSC record), total offensive yards (BSC record) and total offensive touchdowns (BSC record). He also holds numerous single-game and season records for the Buccaneers.

“It’s definitely an honor,” said Drafts. “When Hank called, I was taken aback. I didn’t realize that five years had passed. Looking back on those seasons, it’s great to see what myself and the rest of the team accomplished. I was fortu-nate to be surrounded by great teammates and coaches and had the opportunity to play with a great support staff at a great university like CSU.” Drafts is a quarterback with the Orlando Predators.

Former volleyball player Priscilla Lauoletolo Moleni rounds out the Class of 2011. Moleni had two of the top seasons for kills in 446 in 1993 and 438 in 1992 and still holds two of the top four spots. She finished her career second in CSU history in attacks and is cur-rently fifth all-time with 1,087. Moleni remains third in Buc history with 54 aces in the 1992 season and is fourth with 420 digs in 1993. She is fifth on CSU’s all-time kills list with 884, despite playing just two seasons for the Bucs. Moleni, who competed from 1992-1993, is also in CSU’s all-time top four in hitting percentage. Moleni works in reservations for Continental Airlines.

University plots digital future

The University has partnered with Omni Update, a higher education content manage-ment software company, to begin design on a new web presence. The move follows CSU’s release of mobile applications for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Droid users.

OmniUpdate is recognized as the leading web content management system (CMS) provider for colleges and universities in the country.

Charleston Southern University worked with Straxis Technology who produces uMo-bile360, a mobile software design company, to design the university’s mobile applications for Droid, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users. The mobile applications are free and available to faculty, staff, students, alumni and the general public.

Last year, CSU deployed a strategic social media initiative to engage and connect with current and prospective students and alumni. Since fall 2010 CSU has tripled its audience on Facebook and Twitter.

“Social media, whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare or YouTube, is a relationship,” said John Strubel, director of integrated marketing. “When the University made the commitment to enter the social media arena, we committed to strengthening our relationships with our stu-dents and alumni. You must engage to grow.”

Strubel said the new content management platform will launch in spring 2012 and will redefine the University’s presence on the Internet.

August 31 marked the first Chapel service for the fall semester featuring three CSU graduates who challenged and inspired students.

Daniel Bryant graduated in 2005 and is an art teacher for Dorchester School District 2. While at CSU Bryant created a cartoon drawing which has now evolved into Karate Dogs, a charac-ter building cartoon. “I came here, to CSU, as a seed. And as a seed I was watered, and I absorbed,” Bryant said. He in turn challenged the students to be seeds while at Charleston Southern so that they will become the people God wants them to be.

As an R.N. at Roper St. Francis Hospital, 2008 graduate, Holly Branch Westbury, under-stands what it means to serve – it’s part of her job. However, recently she expanded her view of service when she asked herself, “How am I serving my coworkers and others I come in contact with?”

Westbury encouraged the students, “We can serve God in any and all aspects of our lives. While at CSU I pray that you will take every opportunity to learn about new tools to serve Christ.”

When Joe Pye graduated in 1969 he knew he wanted to be the CEO of a bank. Six weeks after accepting a banking position, he resigned. “It just wasn’t for me,” he said.

The rest is history. Pye was encouraged to pursue education and moved from teaching positions to school principal then on to become district personnel director at Dorchester School District 2. He then continued to advance to assistant superintendent and is now currently superintendent of Dorchester School District Two.

Pye accepted each new career challenge with an unassuming spirit, giving God the credit. “We need to cooperate with God,” Pye told the students. “We should constantly pray for God to take us where He wants us to go. If he opens the door, we need to go on in.”

REFLECTING ON MY PARENTS’ SACRIFICE

Having been awarded a valedictorian scholarship, I entered Baptist College as a freshman in 1973. This scholarship

paid my full tuition, ($1,360) but the responsibility of paying for room and board lay with me and my parents. I agreed

to work to pay for living expenses, but my parents said they would pay for my room and board.

During freshman year, I walked many times around that reflection pond going to and from classes and to and from meals in

the dining hall. My dad took on extra work to pay for my room and board. My dad was an auto body repairman. For two years, he

worked evenings and weekends repairing cars so his daughter could attend college.

At the beginning of my sophomore year, I met Ray Snyder. We began dating and by the spring of 1975 we were engaged. We

walked many times hand in hand around that reflection pond.

In May of 1975, Ray graduated from Baptist College. I attended his graduation at Gaillard Auditorium. In August of 1975

Ray and I married and moved into married housing on campus. Ray had promised my dad that I would complete my college

education. I continued walking around the reflection pond to and from classes, and sometimes Ray and I would walk hand in

hand around the reflection pond.

My career-oriented husband received a job offer in Barnwell, S.C., in late fall 1976. I only had one semester left to fulfill college

graduation requirements. Ray took the job but did not forget his promise to my dad that I would get my bachelor’s degree.

By December 1977 I had completed all requirements for graduation.

However, graduation ceremonies were not held again until May 1978.

There are some mistakes you make that you regret for the rest of your life. When I decided not to participate in the

commencement ceremony, I made a mistake that I have regretted for the rest of my life. I told myself that it wasn’t worth the

time or expense to return to Charleston to walk across that stage to receive my diploma.

I was wrong. I was an ungrateful child. While it may not have been that important to me to participate, I did not recognize that

if I walked I was acknowledging my parents’ faith in me that I could graduate or my parents’ financial sacrifice to support me

and my family.

You see, not only did Ray and I graduate from the undergraduate program at Baptist College, but our daughter Megan

graduated from CSU in December 2001. And, Ray was not only among the first to graduate from the CSU master’s program

but he has also served on the CSU Board of Trustees.

I walked around the CSU Reflection Pond as a scared, lonely freshman, as a love-struck sophomore, as a newlywed,

as a mother and as a proud wife.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have my parents’ name on one of the bricks around my reflection pond.
