here are times when it is important to stopand celebrate the good things taking placearound us. Such is the case for all who

have a relationship with Union University. We celebrate a record fall enrollment of 2,919,which will project to over 3,500 total (non-duplicating) students for the 2004-05 year. We celebrate the completion of the “Building aFuture Campaign”— a year in advance of the projected timeline with gifts of $63 million,three million beyond our 60 million goal.

We celebrate a wonderful class of 811 newstudents enrolled in undergraduate and graduateprograms, a record number of new students forany one year. We celebrate outstanding newfaculty and staff who have joinedthe Union community. We celebratea community of scholars devoted toserious engagement with the culture,seeking to sanctify the secular byreclaiming the Christian intellectualtradition. We celebrate the research,the publications, the presentations,the opportunities of service, butmost of all we celebrate excellencein teaching, prized and prioritized across thisuniversity—in Jackson and Germantown.

We celebrate the transformation taking placein the lives of so many students. We celebratethe impact they will have on families and onindividuals, in communities and in cities, inChurch and in society, in our nation and in our world as kingdom citizens who think andlive Christianly.

In this issue of the Unionite you will find the names of several thousand individuals,churches, and companies who have invested inthis University over the past year. We celebrate their generosity. We pledge to be good stewards of these gifts, using them wisely to expand Union’s growing influence and to advance her distinctive mission.

We celebrate another year (eight in a row) ofbeing recognized as a top tier institution amonguniversities in the South by U.S. News andWorld Report. More specifically we are pleasedto announce that Union was ranked 6th acrossthe South in student selectivity, 8th in terms of faculty resources, and 10th in the percentageof entering students who finished in the top 25percent of their high school class. Moreover we celebrate similar rankings by the CarnegieFoundation along with the recent announcementby Business Reform magazine that Union’s businessschool is among the top ten church-related business programs in the entire country. We celebrate academic excellence at Union University.

We celebrate Union’s wonderfulheritage, and as we do so we celebrate the hopefulness of thefuture. In this column in 2000, Iwrote to you about a “Bold Vision:Vision and Values 2005.” Today,we celebrate the near completion ofthat strategic plan even as we lookforward toward “2010: A Visionfor Excellence” for the university.

While the challenges are many, UnionUniversity has never been healthier. Union hasthe finest faculty ever. The dedication of theUnion staff is a blessing to observe. The quantityand quality of students has never been greater.The support from alumni and friends has neverbeen better. The work of the Union Board ofTrustees and other advisory groups has neverbeen more focused. The opportunities for thefuture are numerous. There is much for whichto be hopeful as we take the next steps togetherthinking about the possibilities for this greatuniversity in coming years. As we do so, westop to celebrate the obvious favor and blessingof God on this institution at this particulartime—and we do so with deep thanksgiving in our hearts.

olitical science moved outside theclassroom for a Union Universityprofessor and two students chosen

by the Washington Center to attend the national political conventions.

Sean Evans, assistant professor of politicalscience, led a seminar for students participating in the Washington Center program at the Republican NationalConvention, Aug. 30-Sept. 3, in NewYork City. Matt Oshel of Harrisburg, Ill.,a senior majoring in political science, alsoattended the republican convention andworked with the Illinois state delegation.Ross Mitchell, a senior political sciencemajor from Selmer, Tenn., attended theDemocratic National Convention held in Boston, Mass., July 26-29.

Participants in The WashingtonCenter’s Campaign 2004 arrived oneweek prior to their respective party’s convention. The first week consisted ofseminars to prepare students for the convention week as they discussed generalaspects of the campaign. In the secondweek, students attended seminars in themorning and did field work in the afternoonsand evenings. Field work assignments with

media organizations, party delegations,interest groups and other political groupsallowed students first-hand experience of various aspects of the convention.

“The seminars helped them to relate their individual experiences to the largerdynamics of the convention and campaign,”Evans said.

Faculty from colleges and universitiesacross the nation led the seminar sessions,which included discussion of Is This AnyWay to Run a Democratic Election, 3rdedition, by Stephen J. Wayne. Both thestudents and faculty were chosen througha competitive process.

For Mitchell, potential for networkingmade the program a welcome prospect.

“Dr. Evans, my advisor, was the majorinfluence,” Mitchell said. “He approachedme one day and asked, ‘What would yousay if you got a chance to meet someDemocratic leaders and possibly establishsome networks with them?’ I could notrefuse that offer.

“My expectations were exceeded duringthose two weeks. Boston is a very interestingcity, and the convention is nothing like Ihave ever seen. I would love to return as

a delegate in the future. For anyone who enjoys politics, a national politicalconvention is something that they mustexperience,” Mitchell said.

Evans was excited by the opportunitiesafforded to the students by theWashington Center program.

“I would have loved to have donesomething like this,” he said. “Obviously,I’ve always been a political junkie.

“It’s networking; it’s first hand experience.Just think of the kinds of people they metthere – media, elected officials. This wastheir opportunity to see a major politicalevent up-close and personal. Just openyour eyes and you will learn. Even forsomeone with a Ph.D. in political science, this is a learning experience forme as well,” Evans said.

NEWSBRIEFSUnion trustees approve CRNA and doctoral programs

Union University’s board oftrustees voted unanimously toapprove a certified registered nurseanesthetist (CRNA) program and a new academic track in higher education administration in the university’s Ed.D. degree.

Final approval for both programs wasalso granted by Union University faculty.

The CRNA program is designedto meet increasing needs for nurseanesthetists and is a result of requestsfrom area hospitals. The new graduateprogram, scheduled to begin inJanuary 2006, includes a 30-monthcurriculum designed for those whoalready hold a four-year nursingdegree and will result in a master’sdegree in nursing. West TennesseeHealthcare recently committed a$2.5 million gift to support the program, once it completed theapproval process.

Recent statistics indicate a projectednational shortfall of 7,000 CRNAsby 2005, according to Union UniversityProvost Carla Sanderson.

“It is quite satisfying for UnionUniversity to be able to respond to a national workforce demand,” saidSanderson. “It’s even more satisfyingthat we are joining with West TennesseeHealth Care and others in meeting a need that will directly impact somany around us.”

Because of decreased enrollmentsin nursing programs in general duringthe 1990s and the subsequentdecrease in the pool of nurses eligiblefor CRNA certification, the workforce shortfall is expected torise until at least the year 2020.

In the southeastern United States,CRNA education programs tend tobe located in large metropolitan areas.The nearby state of Mississippi hasno CRNA program within its borders.Nonetheless, CRNA practitionersare the sole administrators of anesthesiain about two-thirds of the nation’srural hospitals.

“You don’t see a lot of schoolsworking to build a network of ruralhospitals for a program like this,”said Dr. Tim Smith, Union’s newSchool of Nursing dean. “It’s thebeginning of a new era in

nion University’s McAfee School ofBusiness Administration has beenranked in the top 10 among the

nation’s best Christian business schoolsby Business Reform magazine. The listappears in the September/October issue.

“This honor is a wonderful recognitionfor Union University, and it is a tributeto the faculty and staff in McAfee Schoolof Business Administration for their dedication and hard work,” said Dr.Keith Absher, dean of the McAfee School of Business Administration.

“Business Reform is the leadingChristian business magazine, making thedesignation even more significant,” he said.

In addition to the top 10 ranking,Union’s business program was listed thirdin a peer assessment by other businessdeans across the nation and fifth fordegree and course offerings.

“It is particularly gratifying to be recognized by other business schooldeans,” Absher said.

Union President David S. Dockeryshared Absher’s enthusiasm.

“We are certainly excited about thiswell-deserved recognition for the Schoolof Business at Union University,”Dockery said. “To be seen as one of thetop 10 church-related Business Schools inthe country is a tribute to the quality offaculty, the breadth of the curriculum,and the depth of the program groundedin the liberal arts and communicatedthrough the worldview framework which

distinguishes a Union University education.”According to Business Reform writer

Jared Crooks, the magazine plans tomake the list an annual tradition toinform their readers of schools teachingbiblical business principles.

“Christian programs should be educatingtheir students at a higher level, takingbasic truths of the faith and implementingthem into every aspect of the students’educational career, as well as equippingthem for real world challenges,” Crookssaid. “Business Reform is dedicated toinforming our readership of what programsare doing the best job in teaching studentsto run their own business (or manage abusiness) and to do so for the glory of God.”

The top 10 schools were chosen after a survey of over 100 schools nationwide.Schools on the list were identified asendeavoring to “educate their students in how work and faith interact on anessential level, with one helping to shapethe other as both are continually refined,”the article said.

Absher sees the recognition as affirmationof Union’s dedication to integrating faithand learning in all areas of the university.

“Our faculty and staff are committedto producing strong Christian businessleaders that will impact all areas of themarketplace,” Absher said, “and it is fitting that they should be recognized asone of the top 10 schools in the nationfor this pursuit.”

helping to fill this need,” said LisaRogers, a Jackson OB/GYN andUnion trustee who helped study thefeasibility of a CRNA program.

CRNA graduates typically find an extremely receptive job market.Starting annual salaries average$118,000, according to AlliedConsulting, a Dallas-based healthcare staffing firm.

The new Ed.D. track in highereducation administration is alsoexpected to begin classes in the fallof 2005. College of Education andHuman Studies dean Tom Rosebroughdescribed the program as “nationallybased to prepare administrators ineducational leadership.”

The 60-hour degree program willinclude five courses delivered online,three more with a blended designthat includes on-campus and onlinedelivery, and the rest in classes onUnion’s Jackson campus.

new partnership agreement betweenUnion University and YanbianUniversity of Science and Technology

in Yanji, China, could result in anexchange of faculty members as early asthe fall semester of 2005, according toUnion President David S. Dockery.

Dockery, his wife, Lanese Dockery, andDr. Cynthia Jayne, associate provost forintercultural and international studies, traveled to Yanji, a city of 250,000 on thenorth Korean border about 40 miles southof Russia, in July. Talk of a partnershipbetween the two universities began lastspring when President Chin Kyung Kimof YUST and other officials visited Union.

“It was at their initiative that this tookplace,” Dockery said. “We were happy torespond. This is a real partnership. This issomething that is win-win for Union and for them.”

According to Dockery, the partnership is designed to work with the strengths ofeach university.

“They specialize in science, engineeringand technology areas,” Dockery said. “Ofcourse, they have a full range of courses,but that’s where their specializations are.What they want from Union are peopleto come and teach English, literature andEnglish as a second language. They willsend us faculty members in the areas of science and engineering, particularly

to help us with our rather young engineering program.”

For Union students, the partnershipwill open opportunities for groups of students to travel to Yanji on GlobalOutreach (GO) trips and as part of astudy abroad program.

“We could have students going overthere sometime in the spring or certainlynext summer,” Dockery said. “I think it’sa unique opportunity for our students togo into a place where they can learn to be sensitive to culture and courageous and convictional about their Christianity at the same time.”

Dockery spoke of a growing opennessand freedom of religion he witnessed inChina. Though care must be taken, Yanbianis an openly Christian university, whichmade the partnership especially appealing.

“We both have a dual concern for academic excellence and a seriousChristian commitment,” Dockery said.“We share those two foundational aspectsof our mission. Even though thestrengths of our universities are different,and our cultures are different, those twofoundational commitments are the same.”

artistically, and I could have stayed toview it all day.”

According to Nadasky, the drawingsummed up what the trip was all about.After viewing many works of art over the years, this particular drawing was“beyond words.”

Nang Mitsamphanh, sophomore public relations and advertising major,went on the trip for arts and western civilization credit.

“This study tour gave me an insightinto how cultures differ from our ownAmerican culture. In relating to mycourse work at Union, I found the techniques in communicating with themasses were different, and the marketingstrategies here are completely differentthan they are in Europe,” Mitsamphanh said.

Kim Kurz, sophomore vocal performancemajor, also learned the difference betweencultural backgrounds.

“We are stuck in our own bubble somuch of the time and in Europe we wereable to see people who were completelydifferent from us, but still similar to us inmany ways,” Kurz said.

Honors students take courses at Oxford

Lectures were given throughout thegroup’s stay in Oxford on varying topicsfrom philosophy and Christian studies toarchitecture. The lectures were given by

the three Union professors, as well asindividuals from Oxford.

Adam Winters, senior Biblical studiesmajor, participated in the trip for honorscredit. “Very few people can ever say theyhave taken courses at Oxford and that isone of the main reasons I went on thetrip. Our time in Oxford had an influenceon my course work at Union because somuch of church history took place inOxford; there are lots of connections there.”

One student took a closer look at hisown family history when he toured theSalisbury Cathedral where many of hisancestors are buried.

“My parents found our family nameon the tombs when they were travelinghere years ago and decided to researchour lineage and see if there were any relations,” said Gregory Poore, sophomorephilosophy major. “We found out wewere related and I got to talk with one of the overseers of the cathedral who toldme some background on my ancestors.”

The Union professors emphasized thateven though the students were on thestudy tour for a particular class, it wasstill important to take in everything.

Junior Stephanie Terrell, psychologymajor, said, “I had never been out of the country before, but seeing all of themuseums and churches in reality insteadof through a textbook definitely enhancedmy learning experience.”

he Oxford Amsterdam summer 2004 study tour led by Dr. RandallBush, professor of Christian studies and

philosophy, Chris Nadasky, professor of art,and Dr. Mike Penny, associate professorof music, afforded 15 Union Universitystudents life enriching experiences.

Music students have memorable encounter

Three hymnology students had anunforgettable encounter: music majorsRachel Conway, Erin Hale and DanielSchafers, along with Penny, dined asguests in the Salisbury home of retiredAnglican bishop and noted writerTimothy Dudley-Smith and his wife Arlette.

According to Penny, the hymns ofBishop Dudley-Smith are becoming highlyregarded. Most newer American hymnalscontain the great poems, “Tell Out, MySoul, the Greatness of the Lord” (#81,The Baptist Hymnal 1991), a hymn ofpraise that uses Mary’s Magnificat aspoint of departure, and the praise hymn“Name of All Majesty, FathomlessMystery” (#207, The Baptist Hymnal;#116, The Celebration Hymnal 1997).The Baptist Hymnal contains five otherDudley-Smith texts.

His hymn texts, numbering more than300, have won many awards. They arecollected in four volumes. Dudley-Smithgave each of his Union guests a copy ofone of the volumes. The hymns have alsobeen published under one cover in AHouse of Praise. In 2003, Dudley-Smithwas awarded the Order of the BritishEmpire “for services to hymnody.”

“I wrote to the bishop, offering to take him to lunch with my hymnology students,” Penny said, “but Bishop andMrs. Dudley-Smith prepared lunch intheir home instead. Our students thushad a manifold blessing: dining in aBritish home with a charming couple,visiting with an Anglican bishop andconversing with a celebrated hymnist.”

Before lunch Dudley-Smith took hisfour guests to the village of Bemerton,just outside Salisbury, to visit the tinychurch where the great hymn writer andmetaphysical poet George Herbert spenthis life as rector. He also led the group to “Old Sarum,” the ancient ruins of the first cathedral, and Stonehenge.

“These students had a connection witha leader in contemporary Christianity,”Penny said. “We the Union family willhave more encounters with BishopDudley-Smith as well. Dr. Ron Boud ofour music department has set a Dudley-Smith text to music as the result of ourtrip, and Dr. Richard Joiner and the UUSingers have included an anthem to hiswords as part of their 2004 2005 repertory.”

Art students gain insightsWhile touring the National Gallery in

London, Nadasky viewed the drawing byLeonardo da Vinci titled, “The Madonnaand Child.”

“This was the most profound momentfor me as an artist,” he said. “The drawingwas on a level I had never experiencedbefore, and I was awestruck. The drawingmoved me emotionally, spiritually and

Bill and Elaine Hughes fromEastside Baptist Church inMountain Home, Ark., havereturned to Union for five yearsbecause their youth have not wantedto go anywhere else after their initialCentrifuge experience here. “To us it is just a great experience; it’s definitely a life changing camp. I’msold on Centrifuge and also on theexperience we have there at Union,”said Elaine Hughes, who assists herhusband in youth ministry.

The theme for next summer is“Masterpiece.” The music, sermons,programs and track times will all bebuilt around the theme.

Stranak is excited about the programbecause after 25 years, he seesCentrifuge staying on the cuttingedge. “This program remains strongand continues to grow because theymake adjustments; they listen to theevaluations,” Stranak said. “I thinkUnion has been pleased to be a partof this program and what it hasaccomplished in young people’s lives.”

world and to embrace one another regardless of ethnic or racial background.”

Dockery also explained that faithimpacts every aspect of life for aChristian, including the whole process of learning. He said that, at the heart of Union’s Christ-centered approach toeducation, is the “belief that God hasrevealed Himself to us in creation, in history, in our conscience, and ultimatelyin Christ, and that this revelation is nowprimarily available to us in Holy Scripture.This revealed truth is the foundation ofall we believe, teach and do at UnionUniversity. We believe that this Godrevealed truth in the framework in whichwe understand and interpret our world,the events of human history, as well asour responsibilities toward God and one another in this world.”

He reminded the campus that theChristian faith impacts “how we live,how we think, how we write books, howwe govern society, how we treat oneanother.” He said it also must impact our understanding of language, history,government and art.

“It is not that we master theology andthen explore all other areas across thecurriculum, but it is a bringing togetherof our knowledge of God and our knowledge of the subject matter underinvestigation,” he said. “Without thiscorrelative approach to learning, allknowledge is basically abstract, whetherbiology, economics, English, engineering,political science or the arts.”

Dockery said that we cannot knowGod without knowing that we are createdin the image of God, and that all thingsbeing explored fall under the umbrella ofGod as both Creator of the universe andthe source of all truth.

“We cannot connect these things in a unified whole, we cannot fully understand the grand metanarrative, we cannot truly grasp how to explore andengage the issues in history and science,business and healthcare, apart from thisapproach to learning. Thus at UnionUniversity we will seek to sanctify thesecular because Jesus Christ has come to earth.”

uring Union University’s fall convocation, President David S.Dockery called for “a renewed

emphasis on the integration of faith andlearning and also a heightened perspectiveon interdisciplinary conversations acrossthe campus” but also challenged students,faculty and staff not to forget the applica-tion of the Christian faith in people’s lives.

Dockery asked the university’s academicleaders to form and shape a department ofinterdisciplinary studies “that can bringtogether a rich conversation from acrossevery corner of this campus,” because the “best of the Christian intellectual tradition calls for us to think how theseimportant matters can be integratedacross the university.”

However, Dockery said that an educationalmodel grounded in the Christian faithcannot forget the importance of applicationfor the lives of people. He referenced oneof eight of the university’s priorities for2010 that says, in part, “we will nurturean ongoing commitment to the GreatCommandment, which compels ourcommunity to recognize that a love forGod requires a love for all humanity.”Dockery reminded the audience that they

were all called to help make the universitya better place and to do good things onand off the campus.

“We are to be agents of reconciliationin the church and in society,” he said.“We are to build bridges where there arewalls, particularly with reference to theracial divide that has haunted our countrysince its inception. Thus this year, on theUnion University campus, we will seek toexpand our ongoing efforts to prioritizeour role in the area of racial reconciliation.I believe that’s what it means to love ourneighbor, be doers of the Word. We normallyare hearers of the Word, thinkers aboutthe Word. We can spell a word andreflect upon a word, but to do the Wordputs a different shape upon what we areall about here in this place.”

Dockery asked students, faculty andstaff to demonstrate “doing the Word” byhonoring one another through words andactions committed to each person’s success.

“We will seek God’s guidance in howwe can best contribute to constructiveexercises that will help us honor, respectand love one another,” he said. “We praythat God would give us grace to beagents of redemption in this broken

Assisting at the Olympics, Union alum extends his faith

athan Scott (’03) went to Athenswith the International SportsFederation in June, but he wasn’t

a part of the 31-member ISF volunteerteam involved in leading sports clinics in Greece from Aug. 13-29.

Instead, he served as sports informationoperator at the Hotel Oasis’ sports desk.The hotel housed International OlympicFederation presidents and other officialsfrom across the world.

“My clients were VIPs and they were to be treated as royalty,” Scott said. “Myservices were to be as an informationguide to them and as a personal contactfor anything they needed.”

However, along the way he hoped thathe built relationships while assisting peopleand in sharing a “More Than Gold”Olympic pin that, via its multiple colors,relates the story of Christ or a pocketguide that, in a dozen languages, includesinformation recounting the time theApostle Paul spent in Greece. The guideis produced by Flame, an Athens-basedoutreach of AMG International inKnoxville, Tenn.

“If someone was from China and didn’t don’t know much English at least I was be able to give them something intheir language,” Scott said of the multi-lingual resource.

This was Scott’s third Olympics experience. In 2000, he was part of anInternational Mission Board summermission team and, in 2002, he workedwith the North American MissionBoard’s Global Outreach initiative justprior to the 2002 Winter Olympics inSalt Lake City.

Initially, Scott was part of an ISF teamthat led soccer, volleyball and basketballclinics for more than 75 teenagers.

After that event, Scott remained inAthens as a logistical organizer for ISF,developing project schedules for sportsmission teams, organizing transportationand coordinating plans with team leaders.Other assignments included workingwith an Athletes in Action team fromHolland and an ISF team fromSouthwest Missouri State University.

ISF, based in Atlanta, has dispatchedmore than 1,500 volunteers on morethan 200 projects since its founding in1993, usually tackling sports-related clinics and other ventures in tandem withInternational Mission Board missionariesin more than 40 countries on six continents.

Scott’s summer work served a dual purpose, earning credit hours toward hisgraduate degree in sports administrationat the University of Louisville and movingtoward his career goal of one day working

s a new academic year begins, UnionUniversity campus is stirred from itssummer lull.

Eager freshmen are first on the scenefor orientation. Parents help their students move in the residence halls forthe first time, as a new chapter of lifebegins for both. Upper classmen move ina few days later, and the transformation is complete: the students are back!

The first event in the new year forfreshman and transfer students isFOCUS, Union's orientation program,which has become a traditional rite ofpassage for entering students. FOCUSacclimates students to campus life – helping them to adjust to Union as theirnew home and understand what it meansto be a college student.

“Orientation helps new studentsunderstand the requirements and responsibilities of being a student,” saidNeal Rager, coordinator of student leadership development at Union, “they

spend time with professors who list realistic expectations for students and student leaders who give an honest picture of what college life is like.”

Other marks of fall include Rush Weekfor fraternities and sororities, organizationalmeetings, cheerleader tryouts, receptions-all planned to help students becomeacquainted with each other and get them involved in campus life.

Other fall semester events enjoyed bythe entire campus community includeFall Fest, Family Weekend, All-Sing, theatre performances, concerts, guestspeakers and athletic games.

Faculty and staff also gear up for a newcycle in the academic calendar. Some arebeginning a new phase of their careers;others are more seasoned in the traditions of fall.

ladys Wandera, now a senior on theUnion University volleyball team,spent the final few weeks of her

summer vacation in Athens, Greece, as a member of the Kenyan NationalVolleyball team playing in the SummerOlympics. The 2004 Summer OlympicGames were her secondsuch games of her volley-ball career. Wandera also participated in the 2000Summer Olympics inSydney, Australia. WhileKenya did not advance outof the first round action inthe Athens games, she stilltreasured the experience for the second time as if it were the first.

Wandera returned toUnion just as classes werebeginning. Her Unionteammates had alreadybegun their practices forthe fast-approaching season. She was excited, tosay the least, as she told of her time during the previous two weeks in Athens.It seemed that everywhere she turned,people wanted to know of her experience.She gladly gave of her time and stories.

All of the Union campus knows of herimpressive talents on the volleyball court,

obvious from her selection to an Olympicteam. What many may not know aboutWandera is that her strong Christian witness has grabbed the attention ofthose in Jackson, Tenn., as well as thosein Athens, Greece.

Wandera talked about her spare time in Athens where she, along withmany other Christians andnon-Christians alike, wouldgather in groups and sharetheir faith and experienceswith each other. She told ofhow she learned from the testimonies of others andhoped her testimony had thesame lasting effect on otherswho heard.

“We gathered during thefree times to share the Word of God with others,”Wandera said. “We had theopportunity to work withgroups like Athletes in Actionto help share the story ofJesus to many people from

all over the world”. She loved the fact that when volleyball

was not in session, the athletes got theopportunity to work in different venuesand witness other events during thegames. Wandera mentioned names ofnumerous friends made during those few

raining and preparation can beimportant aspects in achieving goals.Sara McWhorter (’03) found this to

be just as true for herself as a trainer forOlympic athletes as for the athletes themselves. McWhorter attributes herhard work in a sports medicine majorand subsequent master’s in exercise physiology as key to receiving an intern-ship with the U.S. Olympic TrainingCenter in Colorado Springs, Colo.

“My college GPA of 4.0, my certificationfrom the American College of SportsMedicine, and lab work at the Universityof Mississippi are factors that gave me anadvantage over the other applicants,”McWhorter said.

She was one of 20 interns out of 600applicants selected to work with athletesof U.S. Olympic teams January throughMay in preparation for the 2004 summerOlympics in Athens.

“It is a dream come true. I get to do all types of testing with athletes from allsports,” said McWhorter, “and it took mea few weeks to get over being star-struckfrom working and even eating lunch withOlympic medalists.”

While some of her time was spent withthe men’s gymnastics team doing bodycomposition tests, most was devoted todoing biological performance tests in thesport physiology lab.

“It’s exciting to see what the human bodyis capable of doing,” McWhorter said.

One particular test provides the athletes a supplemental oxygen workout.By hooking an athlete to a 60 percent oxygen tank, it allows them to exercise at a higher intensity.

“This was especially useful for cyclistsand the tri-athletes like Hunter Kemper,”she said. Watching the Olympics on television was especially exciting for her.“I saw athletes I knew such as the boxingteam, the weightlifting team, women’staekwondo, the volleyball teams and rifleshooters,” McWhorter said.

McWhorter found her supervisors tobe extremely intelligent and helpful andfelt they taught her a great deal about herprofession. However, it was interactionwith the athletes that inspired her themost. She still maintains friendships withmany of them, and goes to the centertwo or three times a week.

“My most enjoyable part of the internexperience was being involved with theathletes,” she said.

Currently McWhorter works part-timeat Focus on the Family’s health and wellness center. She balances out herwork schedule as a personal trainer at afitness club and teaches first aid.

“I enjoy the exciting atmosphere work-ing with the employees at Focus on theFamily,” said McWhorter, “but, myfavorite part of my career is the personaltraining, because I form relationships thatoften give me the opportunity to witness.”

people, said Scott, a former pole-vaulterwho also played one year of college football before transferring to Union.

“Sometimes it’s hard to get into the ‘in’group of Greek culture,” Scott said. “Butif you’re willing to go out and play ballwith them, they’re willing to look past

the fact you’re an American. They appre-ciate you wanting to reach out and getting to know their culture.”

Scott said. “Pray for the hearts of thepeople. Pray the Gospel was presented tothe people [and that] God opens theirhearts to the message of freedom foundin Jesus Christ.”

weeks who share her faith in Christ and“really helped to encourage me in mywalk with God,” she said.

She spent some time with the USAwomen’s basketball team and other athletes who played on college or professional teams in the USA. “That wasa neat experience to be able to talk withother athletes who were competing in theUSA, just as I was,” she said.

Wandera was born into a Christianfamily in Kakamega, Kenya, and wasborn again in 1997. She is very involvedon Union’s campus as a part of several

Bible studies and prayer groups that meetboth on and off campus. Wandera hasbeen in several different churches duringher few months in Jackson, but says shehasn’t settled on one yet.

Wandera transferred to Union in thefall of 2003 and made an immediateimpact on the 6-year-old volleyball program. As a junior, she was named theTranSouth Conference and NAIA RegionXI Player of the Year. Wandera was alsonamed to the NAIA All-American teamlast season.

ormer President George H. W. Bushhelped Union University stage the most successful Scholarship Banquet in the event’seight-year history.

Donors gave $500,000 to Union’s scholar-ship fund, and 2,200 people packed the CarlPerkins Civic Center Sept. 21 to hear thenation’s 41st President speak of his faith andhis experiences in office. Last year’s eventwith former New York mayor RudolphGiuliani raised just more than $400,000.

“It was a great night for UnionUniversity and for the students whowill benefit from the generosity of somany,” said Union UniversityPresident David S. Dockery, whohosted the event and led a question-and-answer session with Bush nearthe conclusion of the program.

Guests pledged between $1,000and $15,000 for a record 135 tables.Table and balcony seats were soldout in early September, despite thefact that 21 tables (170 place set-

tings) were added from last year’s floor plan. “On a scale of one-to-10, it was an 11,”

said Dr. Adrian Rogers, pastor of BellevueBaptist Church in Cordova, Tenn., nearMemphis. “The president was so warm andfolksy. I believe this program will insure tothe welfare of the university in many wayswell beyond the $500,000 raised.”

While serving in the Oval Office from1989-1993, Bush saw the end of the ColdWar, the reunification of Germany with the

fall of the Berlin Wall and the liberation ofKuwait during his term.

Bush, who celebrated his 80th birthday in June by parachuting

from an airplane in Texas, toldthe audience he does not

feel entitled to any special privileges as aformer U.S. President.He urged younger

people in the audience to servetheir communities.

Bush challenged listeners to “get off thesidelines” and serve the community. He toldhis audience good government dependsentirely upon good people who are willingto serve others. He repeatedly referred to a“thousand points of light,” or caring citizenswho serve the community, encouraging students to become one of the lights.

Kristen Ulmer, Student GovernmentAssociation president, gave the invocation.She called it a once-in-a-lifetime experienceand felt motivated by Bush’s remarks.

“It was a great chance to hear and see anexample of servant leadership,” Ulmer said.“He really stressed that service doesn’t needto be in politics, and if it is in politics, itdoesn’t have to be at the national level.There are opportunities for service anywhere, whether it is in your school or local community. To hear that fromsomeone of his stature is such an encouragement to students.”

“It’s one of those experiences that youwon’t ever forget,” said senior AdrienneBriles, political science major, of the speech.

Briles spent the spring semester interningat the Family Research Council inWashington, D.C., where she attended thesigning of the Unborn Child Act by

President George W. Bush on April 1. Briles said she considers it a privilege to

have heard both presidents speak. “His dad is more versed internationally,”

Briles said. “President George W. Bush putsmore emphasis on the domestic side.”

Briles said she enjoyed the relaxed feel to Bush’s speech. “It was one of those conversations you’d have over a cup of coffee,” she said.

Bush addressed the issues of faith, familyand values, and said his beliefs shaped hispresidency. Bush said he agreed withAbraham Lincoln who said, “I cannot bepresident without spending some time onmy knees.”

“I am a Christian, and believe in Christ,”Bush said.

Bush described his own childhood, whichhe said was rooted in strong moral instruction.

“In my own life, my own parents helpedshape my life. This university helps do thatfor the kids here,” Bush said. “I was privi-leged in the values I learned from my family– the same values that helped me when Iwas President.”

Bush also discussed the Christian faith ofhis son, President George W. Bush.

“Today the President is much more openwith his faith. It is real. It is not posturing.”

Concerning his family, Bush addressed thequestion of how it feels to see his sonattacked by the media.

“It hurts far more to see my own son criticized than when I was under fire by themedia,” Bush said. However, despite mediacriticism, Bush still holds the presidentialoffice in high esteem. “I still feel like politicsis a noble calling.”

“I really enjoyed all of his comments,especially about faith and values,” said GaryTaylor, a friend of Union University fromJackson. “I appreciate his transparency inletting us look inside his life from a non-political platform.”

The former President’s speech earnedstrong reviews from Union faculty and staff,who also helped contribute to the recordfundraising total.

“He was very personable, and I think wegot to see the core of a man who loves hisfamily, loves his country and loves his God,”said Dr. Charles Baldwin, the O. P. &Evalyn Hammons University Professor ofPre-Medical Studies. “There was nothing pretentious about him.”



ore than a few eyebrows wereraised when Union Universityannounced the goal of its

“Building a Future” capital fundraising campaign. The board of trustees approved a$35 million goal in 1998, even though theschool’s most ambitious goal to that pointhad been only $10 million.

But what some might have considered adifficult target actually proved to be too low.

Union donors were so generous thattrustees voted two years later to increase thegoal from $35 million to $60 million by2005. That goal has been exceeded by morethan $3 million, a full year ahead of schedule.

“This is by far the most ambitious capitalcampaign in Union’s 181-year history, and it is ending as a resounding success,” saidUnion President David S. Dockery.

Of the $63,100,000 raised during“Building a Future,” $9.6 million will go forendowment and scholarships, $13.2 millionfor facilities and grounds, nearly $32.5 million for operations gifts and grants, and$7.8 million for general program support.

“Much of the credit for this success is dueto the efforts of our three co-chairmen,”Dockery said. Those co-chairmen are Roy L.White of Memphis, Benny Fesmire ofJackson, and James Ayers of Parsons, Tenn.Each was presented with an engraved crystalvase during Union University’s EighthAnnual Scholarship Banquet on September 21.

President Dockery also thanked scores ofother donors who gave sacrificially to ensurethat Union’s largest-ever capital campaignwas successful.

“God has been so gracious to affirm themission and vision of Union Universitythrough the support and involvement ofmany friends,” said Dockery. “We are confident that our most hopeful days are still ahead.”

Union University’s board of trustees andstaff are embarking on an extensive study of

the school’s needs in the next six years.“Union 2010” will target areas for additionalgrowth or initial development. It will alsoidentify areas “Building a Future” started to address, but did not complete.

President Dockery called on Union supporters to prayerfully consider the nextsteps in that financial journey.

“There are many doors of opportunityopening for us,” Dockery said. “We needyour continued prayers and support as weenvision Union in 2010.”

of the few programs in the United Statesdesigned in cooperation with rural hospitalsystems. Union’s faculty gave the CRNAcurriculum a nod Oct. 4 when the programcame up for final approval.

The new graduate track—one of threeavailable in Union’s master of sciencedegree program—will help meet increasing

needs for nurse anesthetists and is a resultof requests from area hospitals. Scheduledto begin in January 2006, it is designed forthose who already hold a four-year nursingdegree and will include a 30-month cur-riculum. West Tennessee Healthcare recent-ly committed a $2.5 million gift to supportthe program, once it completed theapproval process. Other hospitals systemsare working out details for cooperativeagreements, as well.

Certified registered nurse anesthetists areanesthesia professionals who administerapproximately 65 percent of all anestheticsgiven to patients each year in the UnitedStates, according to the AmericanAssociation of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA).As advanced practice nurses, they work in every setting in which anesthesia is delivered: traditional hospital operatingrooms and delivery rooms; outpatient surgical centers; critical access hospitals;

Union names Smith new dean for nursing school

r. Timothy L. Smith has been nameddean of Union University’s school ofnursing, effective January 1, 2005.

Smith currently serves as associate professor andcoordinator of the nurse anesthesia program atthe University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

He will replaceTharon Kirk,interim dean during the search process.

Smith earned a bachelor of science in nursingdegree from theUniversity ofMemphis, as wellas master’s anddoctoral degreeswith nursing anesthesia concentrations fromthe same institution. He holds certificationsas a registered nurse, a nurse anesthetist, basicand advanced life support.

In addition to his current position, Smith has also been employed by the University ofTennessee at Memphis and has practiced withCRNA Associates and Anesthesia ConsultantsExchange in Chattanooga, as well as theMedical Anesthesia Group, the CardiovascularCenter, Methodist Hospitals Central and BaptistMemorial Hospital Central, all in Memphis.

He was voted faculty member of the year inUTC’s school of nursing in 2003 and receivedthe excellence in teaching award from graduate students at UT-Memphis in 1999.Smith is a member of the AmericanAssociation of Nurse Anesthetists and theTennessee Association of Nurse Anesthetists.

According to Dr. Carla Sanderson, UnionUniversity’s provost, “Dr. Tim Smith brings toUnion’s school of nursing two key qualities: a heart for introducing young minds to the

career of nursing and its endless opportunitiesfor Christian service and valuable leadershipexperience in advanced practice nursing. As the profession of nursing continues togrow and develop in even more advancedroles, Dr. Smith will lead us to take advantageof new opportunities for service.

“Academic deans at Union University holdthe key leadership positions for ensuring theright programs for the future,” she said.“Union has been blessed beyond measure inrecent years with outstanding dean leadership.With the addition of Dr. Tim Smith, thedean leadership team at Union is trulya remarkable one.”


he new certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) program adds one more track in Union

University’s master of science degree in nursing. In addition to CRNA, the graduateprogram offers tracks in nursing educationand nursing administration.

Interim Dean Tharon Kirk says that theadvanced degree program is one way Unionis meeting shortages in the field.

“The master’s program at Union seeks tomeet the need for nurses with advanced levels of knowledge and skills who can helpaddress some of the shortage issues related to

nursing,” she said. “Both the nursing education track and the CRNA track aredesigned to produce nurses who can helpmeet critical shortage areas. Despite thegrowing interest in nursing as a profession,most schools have difficulty finding qualifiedfaculty to teach. Without teachers, enroll-ments cannot increase. The nurse educatortrack is designed to help address this problem.”

Kirk said the nursing administration trackprepares nurses for leadership roles in“advanced professional nursing practice withspecific functional and clinical abilities.”

All three graduate tracks in the program

are designed on the cohort model, in whichclass members take all the core coursestogether as a group. The education, administration and CRNA tracks are set up so that students take classes with theirrespective track group.

Both nursing education and nursingadministration tracks include 38 class hoursand are offered on both Germantown andJackson campuses, while the CRNA trackincludes 74 hours and will be available onlyin Jackson.

CRNA program adds one more track to Union master’s degree in nursing

the offices of dentists, podiatrists, ophthal-mologists, plastic surgeons and pain management specialists, as well as in military and state healthcare facilities.

The AANA cites a decline in the numberof positions available for anesthesiology residents and an increase in outpatient surgeries and surgical procedures done inplaces other than hospitals as driving theincreased need for CRNAs. Also, insuranceplans are recognizing CRNAs for providinghigh-quality anesthesia care at reduced costs.That cost-efficiency of CRNAs helps keepescalating medical costs down, the AANA says.

Recent statistics indicate a projectednational shortfall of 7,000 CRNAs by 2005,according to Union University Provost Carla Sanderson.

“It is quite satisfying for Union Universityto be able to respond to a national workforcedemand,” said Sanderson. “It’s even moresatisfying that we are joining with WestTennessee Health Care and others in meetinga need that will directly impact so manyaround us.”

Because of decreased enrollments in nursingprograms in general during the 1990s andthe subsequent decrease in the pool of nurses

eligible for CRNA certification, the work-force shortfall is expected to rise until atleast the year 2020.

In the southeastern United States, CRNAeducation programs tend to be located inlarge metropolitan areas. The nearby state ofMississippi has no CRNA program withinits borders. Nonetheless, CRNA practitionersare the sole administrators of anesthesia inabout two-thirds of the nation’s rural hospitals.

“You don’t see a lot of schools working to build a network of rural hospitals for a program like this,” said Dr. Tim Smith,Union’s new School of Nursing dean. “It’s the beginning of a new era in Christian education.”

“I’m excited about seeing Union helpingto fill this need,” said Lisa Rogers, a JacksonOB/GYN and Union trustee who helpedstudy the feasibility of a CRNA program.

CRNA graduates typically find anextremely receptive job market. Startingannual salaries average $118,000, accordingto Allied Consulting, a Dallas-based healthcare staffing firm.

Those who enroll in the program canexpect to complete 74 hours of intense, full-time study built on a cohort model, which

includes a clinical residency and a thesis orscholarly project. Approximately 15-20 students will be admitted to each class, withstudent selection made in collaboration withprogram partners. Admission requirementsinclude:

• eligibility for registered nurse licensure in the state of Tennessee

• completion of a bachelor of science in nursing degree with a grade point average of 3.0 or higher

• one year of critical care experience• official Graduate Record Exam

test scores• evidence of writing skills, an interview

and references.Now that the program has received final

approval, the university will begin a nationalsearch for CRNA faculty, according toSanderson.

The entire nursing program will behoused, along with the departments ofchemistry and biology, in Union’s new science building when it is completed.Construction will begin in the spring.

rom street theater in Canada to criminaljustice work in Washington, D.C.,with stops at Princeton, Taylor and

Baylor universities along the way, Dr.Daryl Charles’ diverse journey has nowbrought him to Union University.

For Charles, Union’s compelling drawwas finding the university’s vision embodiedin the vision of the Christian studiesdepartment. He was attracted by the university’s genuineness in equippingemerging Christian leaders ready for the market place.

“The president and the university areserious in attempts at integration [faithand learning], it’s not just in the promotional literature,” said Charles, “I can contribute my gifts here and experience being part of something bigger than myself.”

Charles lists the commitment to theteacher-scholar, President David S.Dockery’s leadership and his attitudetoward Christian scholarship as otheraspects that impress him about Union.

“I consider it forward thinking and in

line with my personal calling to classicChristian liberal arts education,” said Charles.

He laments that higher educationamong secular as well as Christian institutions appears to be going more the way of big business and subsequentlyis losing its identity.

“Two tendencies are observable: thefinancial ‘bottom line’ driving everythingand an identity crisis, where most schoolsdo not know what their identity is orshould be,” Charles said. “Most presidents are managers or PR people,few embody vision.”

In the classroom Charles wants studentswho are “hungry to learn.”

“I desire motivated students, not necessarily brilliant ones,” he said, “I’drather teach a hungry seeker than anindifferent believer.”

He challenges students to ask criticalquestions and embrace complexity.

“I want students to wrestle with complexity, be inquisitive,” Charles said,“examine assumptions that undergird

ideas and opinions.”He acknowledges that today’s society

holds a false split in sacred and secular.“We must see the cosmic dimensions

of Christ’s lordship, that all realms ofreality are to be redeemed, not merely thenarrowly spiritual or the soul. This, afterall, is authentic integration,” said Charles.

That is what is behind his thought inurging students toward the gate-keepingvocations—vocations that Charles feels“evangelicals have tended to avoid.”

“We are to engage culture and becomesocial and legal theorists, ethicists, economists, or be involved in media and journalism, the information industry,theater,” he said.

“Our calling is not to flee the culture,but return to it.”

“It goes back to confessional resourcesheld by early Protestants: work is a ministry in excellence. Whether it isplumbing, social analysts, policy makersor cabinet makers, all of it is sacred.”

xamining the link between academicpreparation and college attendance of minority students is a mission for

Stephanie Lee, a 1998 learning founda-tions major and former director of student leadership at Union.

“I have an interest in studying blackstudent college enrollment patterns forhigher ed.,” said Lee. “What happens inK-12 and what are the influences toinspire them for college.”

Lee is working on a Ph.D. in educationpolicy at Vanderbilt while serving as agraduate assistant. Upon completion shehopes to continue addressing the issues ofhigher education for minority students.

“I don’t know if that means teaching,research, or policy advocacy for studentsof color,” said Lee, “I want to give moreof a chance to others, if that is theirdesire, to work through cultural implications, to be proactive in the K-12arena and when they graduate from high

school they are more ready than the generation before.”

The professors at Union built a foundation for Lee by teaching her not toput life into compartments, but rather seethe overall picture of how everything fitstogether as a cohesive unit of service—tothink Christianly.

“Through the influence of professors,the way faculty teach and leaders lead atUnion, it’s obvious that they’re livingChrist-like in all they do. It flows alltogether. We do not need to compart-mentalize, instead be excellent in studies,work and every part of life,” said Lee,“because God is in every part of life.

“I saw it first hand at UnionUniversity—it can be seamless. I don’thave to be or think a certain way only incertain circles. Education can be excellentand cutting edge, if you will, and I don’thave to choose that over a Christianworldview.”

organ Keegan & Company is itsname and issuing bonds is itsgame. For 2002 economics/finance

graduate Matt Adams, the world offinances and networking has been a majorfactor in his life.

“Union gave me a strong groundworkto know enough to get the job,” Adamssaid. “The foundation I got at Unioncan’t be replaced. Without Union, Iwouldn’t be where I am today.”

Scott Lawyer, associate professor ofmanagement, helped Adams network andget an internship at Morgan Keegan &Company in January of his senior year,which ultimately led to a full-time job there.

“He [Lawyer] was a valuable resourceand went beyond the call of duty as aprofessor,” Adams said. “He still takes an

interest in my life: where I’m at and whatI’m doing.”

When Adams first entered Union, hehad a completely different view on theworld of business and his role in thekingdom of God.

“Before Union I would have viewedwhat I do as a job or a paycheck,” Adamssaid. “After Union I view it more as acalling and a way to make a difference.”

Adams is grateful for his Christ-centered education that he received from Union.

“Everything at Union is Christ-centered and once you get into the work-force you’re in the minority,” Adams said.“All the classes and professors preparedme to be in the minority and go againstthe grain.”

f you spend a few minutes withAutumn Ridenour, a 2002 Christianethics major, you’ll quickly discover her

heart beats to share a theology whichincludes God to the world around her.This passion is what sent her to YaleDivinity School after graduating from Union.

“I loved reading about past thinkersand how our sinful nature has beenaround since the beginning,” Ridenour said.

Ridenour is pursing a two-year masterof arts and religion program at YaleUniversity and aspires to one day teachethics. She will be graduating May 2005and is hoping to work toward a Ph.D.

“God’s providential hand led me toUnion,” Ridenour said. “It wasn’t by accident that Union had an ethics program, which is unique at the under-graduate level.”

Through lecture series and variousspeakers from around the country andworld coming to speak to students atUnion, Ridenour was challenged to think

about her faith outside of the classroom.“Union was a great opportunity to be

consumed with ideas and see these ideasput into practice,” Ridenour said.“Integrating Christianity and education isa living reality; you never stepped out ofit at Union.”

As Ridenour attends Yale, she is culti-vating her own views and using the buildingblocks of her education from Union tocommunicate her faith to others.

“I’m fine tuning my arguments (atYale) and integrating my presuppositionsI learned at Union,” Ridenour said. “I’mwhere the rubber meets the road.”

As Ridenour progresses through theMAR program at Yale, she is grapplingwith real world issues and struggles tocommunicate the authority of scripture tothe world.

“I’m a work in progress,” Ridenoursaid. “I have a voice and God’s allowedme to be here (at Yale.) There’s always anelement you don’t know until you’rethere. Sometimes you have to go throughexperiences yourself.”

ard work. Sweat. Patience.Endurance. These terms bestdescribe the endeavor to become

a lawyer, especially for Dow Davidson, a 2000 Union business graduate.

Davidson began working in Septemberat Burr & Forman LLP, a law firm with150 attorneys located in Birmingham,Ala. He completed law school in Mayand recently took the bar exam.

“Taking the bar exam was an opportunity.It was a really, really tough experience,”Davidson said. “I had to keep it all inperspective because everyone practicinglaw had to go through this.”

While taking the bar exam was one of the most challenging aspects ofDavidson’s pursuit of a law career, he saysthe solid educational foundation that hereceived from Union prepared him.

“The professors told me what to expectand allowed me to be intellectually andacademically prepared,” Davidson said.“They mentally prepared me for the

rigors of a law school. Union was instrumental to my success in law school.”

Davidson says combining faith with learning was a vital part to his overall experience.

“Union is truly special in contrast toother places,” Davidson said. “Being seriousabout your faith and making it the toppriority was encouraged and accepted.”

As a student geared toward the law profes-sion, the issue of ethics was an essential issueaddressed by Davidson’s professors.

“Looking at things through a lens offaith was what was most profitable,”Davidson said. “Being a Christian is partof who I am and is a challenge and expectation to live that out to people.”

Even as Davidson moves on in hiscareer path, he still is able to keep intouch with some of his professors

“I played golf with Coach (Andy)Rushing the last time I was back becauseI played (baseball) for him while atUnion,” Davidson said.

osh Trent (’01) serves in the office of presidential personnel—to thepresident of the United States.

The chief executive has the authority toappoint a percentage of federal positions.Trent takes his involvement in identifying,recruiting and recommending appointeesfor such positions seriously.

“A lot of research is done before makinga recommendation. We look for a broad(administration) buy in,” said Trent, “it’salso important to determine if someonecan bring more than good skill sets to thetable. Their skills must fit within thedynamics of working in a group, as well.”

Trent views his job as a ministry opportunity.

“A biblical worldview says all Christiansshould be full-time,” Trent said, “there’sno division between secular and Christian.All our life should be submitted (to God).

“I understand government as a God-ordained institution for good and

that God cares about government,” hesaid. “My challenge is to use that or losethat opportunity.”

Union played a key role in helping Trentdevelop this outlook on his career path.

“My professors saw their discipline as part of the created order and all truthas God’s truth,” Trent said, “Union pre-pared me for work at the White Housewith its emphasis on servant leadershipand excellence.”

As Trent works in the White House, heis perpetually reminded of the importanceof excellence and servanthood.

“You must be excellent at your craft tobe taken seriously,” Trent said. “I work withexcellence to be a servant to the boss, to getthe job done and to be professional.

“Graduates who want to make a differencein the world must first know their craftwell, be faithful to God and glorify Him,”he said.

&You want to invest in

building a strong Union

for the next generation.

You also desire financial

security for yourself.

ohn Dickinson (’48) grew up amidthe cotton fields of West Tennesseegiving little thought to a college

education. During those days of theGreat Depression, he and his family weremore concerned about simple survival.

His mother Mary worked feverishlyjust to keep food on the table for Johnand three older sisters. Tuberculosis tookhis father’s life at an early age.

In those toughest of times, John says people stepped forward to point him inUnion’s direction, and to help him affordthe costs.

Some benefactors were known to him:the lady near the old Union campus whoprovided food and board at the lowest possible cost; the shoe store owner whoemployed John so he could earn money forbooks; former Union football coach FredDeLay, who found ways to make each newsemester possible.

There were also unknown donors whokept aid money trickling into Union ashis generation tried to make ends meet.

“I never did know who exactly,” Johnsays of the sources for his help. “I neverwent into the bursar’s office and said‘where is my money coming from?’ Aslong as it came in, I didn’t doubt it.”

John and his wife Virginia (’49) havenot forgotten that valuable assistance.

“We need to do what we can to help

some struggling soul today,” John said.“We feel like somebody was responsiblefor us being at Union. I want to be a littlebit a part of somebody else’s experience.”

The Dickinsons give regularly toUnion, and funded a scholarship inmemory of John’s parents.

John’s experience at Union dramaticallychanged his life. He started in the direction of Christian service as a musicand education minister. He later went onto serve churches in five states, and was a Union trustee.

John met his wife of 55 years duringhis first week at Union. Friends fixedthem up on a blind date.

“We realized a Christian environmentwas something that was very important atthat time of our lives,” says Virginia.“You met faculty members who becamefriends for the rest of your life.”

John and Virginia now reside in thehouse where he was born, near Denmark,Tenn. The property has been in his familyfor 100 years. His life now is much morecomfortable than in those early days.

But John says that’s when he reallylearned about giving. His first job was ata nearby general store, where 16 hours ofwork on a Saturday earned him a 50-centpiece. His mother took notice.

“She said ‘now don’t forget. Tomorrow,you put a nickel in at church.’”
