They build uponthe educational oundation provided by MountUnion and our exceptional aculty members whopride themselves on being teachers rst. Our acultymembers are truly the backbone o our institution,and our proessors deserve a great deal o credit or

LARRYKEHRESBY THENUMBERLarry Kehres 71 has decided to step down as headootball coach but remain the director o athletics,

while Vince Kehres 98 has been named head oot-ball coach eective immediately.

Larry, in his 39th year working at his alma mater,began working as an assistant ootball coach andproessor in 1974. He was Mount Unions rst headswimming coach, was named athletic director in1985 and assumed head ootball coaching duties in1986.

The best part o the job was developing relation-ships with players and continuing those relation-ships ollowing their graduations, said Larry. Coach-ing the Purple Raiders has been a tremendousexperience or my amily. We have shared manygreat experiences with our players, ellow coaches,trainers and their amilies. We plan to continueto enjoy working with Mount Union coaches andathletes.

In 27 seasons, Larrys teams won 23 Ohio AthleticConerence Championships (1986, 1990, 1992-2012)while posting 21 undeeated regular seasons (1986,1990, 1992, 1993, 1995-2004, 2006-2012) and claim-ing 11 NCAA Division III National Championships(1993, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005,2006, 2008, 2012).

Larry has a career coaching record o 332-24-3(.929), which makes him one o the winningest

coaches in the history o college ootball.As director o athletics, he has overseen and aided inthe expansion o varsity sports currently at 23, in-creased the athletics sta and led an aggressive planto enhance and create some o NCAA Division III topacilities highlighted by the $17-million expansionand renovation o the Timken Physical EducationBuilding and Peterson Field House.

Just this past season, Mount Union swept both OhioAthletic Conerence Mens and Womens All-SportsTrophies and is the highest ranked NCAA DivisionIII institution in Ohio in the Leareld Directors Cup

Standings recognizing excellence in college athletics.

My plan is to continue to assist coaches andstudent-athletes to experience success at MountUnion, Larry said.

He and his wie, Linda, have three grown childrenand ve grandchildren.

Coach Kehres has had incredible success, not onlyin winning ootball games and national champion-ships at an unprecedented level, but also in positive-ly shaping the lives o countless student-athletes,said Dr. Richard Giese, president o Mount Union.

His impact on Mount Union has been dramatic,

KEHRES LEGACY LIVES ON

and the entire Raider amily will clearly miss him onthe sideline. Larry, Linda and the Kehres amily area special part o the abric that makes Mount Unionunique, and we are indeed grateul. We are pleasedthat Larry will still be leading our entire, highly-suc-

cessul athletic program as director o athletics, andwe are appreciative or what he has done and whathe will continue to do or Mount Union.

Vince Kehres has spent the last 13 years on theMount Union ootball coaching sta and the lasteight o those years as deensive coordinator.

As deensive coordinator, his unit has constantlyranked statistically among the top o all o NCAADivision III and in 2012 they were No. 1 in total de-ense, No. 1 in scoring deense and No. 1 in rushingdeense while posting six consecutive shutouts.

The Alliance native has been part o 10 o the PurpleRaiders national championships as either a player(two) or a coach (eight).

Obviously Mount Union ootball has been a part omy entire lie, said Vince. I have a passion or coach-ing and working with young men and I can thinko no better place to do that than at Mount Union.I promise this program will continue to uphold thevalues and ideals that have made Mount Unionwhat it is in the world o college ootball. Our mis-sion remains the same bring quality young men tothis place and allow them the opportunity to grow

and be successul on and o the eld.According to Giese, Vince Kehres has been instru-mental in many successes o the program; andwe are proud and ortunate to have him take ourprogram orward. He is well-prepared and ready orthis opportunity.

Vince earned a masters degree rom Ashland Uni-versity and he and his wie, Lindsay, have two sons,Evan and Bo.

The University is in the process o planning appro-priate recognition o Coach Kehres and the program.

With more than 200 combined years o experience at the University o Mount

Union, seven aculty members began the next chapter in their lives as they

entered retirement at the close o the academic year. On the pages that ollow

these seven retirees share their uture plans, as well as reminisce about their

avorite classes, discuss what they will miss most about working at theUniversity and even provide students with their best pieces o advice.

TED ISUE

Associate Proessor o EducationWorking at Mount UnionAter I had completed 30 years o service in public education, a riend o mine who was an adjuncin Mount Unions Department o Education encouraged me to submit my application to superviseMount Union candidates in their prestudent and student teaching eld placements. I truly enjoyemy time at Mount Union, starting in 1995.

Retirement PlansI know that my wie and I will do some traveling. We will continue to visit our son and his amily in

Colorado, and we hope to travel to Williamsburg, VA, Charleston, SC and the New England states. Our appreciation o American antiqusince 1976 has enhanced our curiosity to become more knowledgeable and to possibly purchase more primitive antiques to add to ocollection. A visit to Alaska and some cruises are hopeul possibilities or the uture!

What Ill Miss

I will miss the every day interaction with the Department o Education candidates and the collegiality among aculty and sta membe

Favorite ClassAlthough I taught other classes, my avorite class was the seminar that accompanied clinical practice (student teaching). My presentations o relevant inormation to those who were pursuing education as a career were very rewarding. Hearing positive remarks o whacandidates had learned and had incorporated into their teaching practices provided many memorable moments.

Advice or StudentsAs prospective teachers, candidates must have the passion and caring attitude to teach, the passion to want to grow in their content eas and the willingness to expand their knowledge in the principles o learning and teaching. I sincerely agree with Harry Wongs quo

Some people go into teaching because it is a job. Some people go into teaching to make a dierence.

LOUISE MOSESProessor o Computer Science and Inormation Systems

and Director o the Media Computing Program

Mount Union MemoriesThese past couple o semesters Ive had extraordinarily enthusiastic and talented students in all mclasses. What a nice last year they have given me!

Retirement PlansMainly Im going to be a beach bum, keep my hand in teaching and have more time to go back to

kind o writing/visual design/programming projects that I dreamed up on my last sabbatical.

Working at Mount UnionI had ve interviews, and Mount Union was easily my rst choice. My interviews with Dr. John Kirchmeyer and the president at that timHarold Kolenbrander, sealed the deal.

What Ill Miss

Everyone! All those who have enriched my time here.

Favorite Class

I dont have an absolute avorite class. The teaching is exciting any time I can see learning taking place.

Advice or StudentsPay attention.

DR. JEFFERY HAHN 73

Proessor o SociologyMount Union MemoriesExcept or the 1973-1974 and 1974-1975 Academic Years, I have been at Mount Union since 1969, botas a student and a aculty member. Thus, I have so many ond memories o Mount Union that it is verydicult to single out one on which to comment. As a student, perhaps it was taking my wie on our date to see the movie Cool Hand Luke at Rodman Playhouse. Or, perhaps it is the lie-long riendships tI developed with several Sigma Nu raternity brothers. Then again, perhaps it was the mentor/menteelationships that I ormed with several o my proessors. As a aculty member, I ondly remember so mastudents with whom I worked over the years, watching them mature as people and as scholars. Simila

I ondly recall the close proessional relationships that I developed with several colleagues, particularly Dr. Kathleen Piker-King, and the thinthat we accomplished together to move the sociology program and Mount Union orward. But perhaps my most satisying moment as aaculty member was the implementation o SCHOLAR Day, something or which I had been pushing or more than 25 years.

Working at Mount Union

As a 1973 alumnus o Mount Union, I knew that I wanted to spend my career teaching at a small liberal arts college. I wanted to have thesame mentoring relationship with students that I experienced at Mount Union. Ater completing my masters degree and one year towardmy doctoral degree at Kent State, a position in sociology at Mount Union became available and my credentials matched exactly what was sired. Since my wie and I were both raised in the Alliance area and wanted to stay near amily, I applied or the position and the rest is histo

Advice or StudentsFormer Mount Union President Harold Kolenbrander was ond o telling students Find something that you love to do and then gure outa way to make a living at it. I cant do any better than that! But, perhaps I can supplement his advice with this: Make certain that you nd ahobby that is interesting and enjoyable and to which you can also dedicate yoursel. In short, love hard, work hard, play hard and have undoing all three.

DR. JOHN M. STREFELER

Proessor o AccountingMount Union Memories

Two memories come to mind. The rst is attending the aculty/sta Christmas Dinner my rst yeaIt emphasized to me and my wie the amily atmosphere that was so appealing throughout camp

The second is SCHOLAR Day and Commencement. In addition to the atmosphere o celebration,they were days when I could meet the parents o some o my students.

Favorite ClassMy avorite class is probably Accounting 450 (Federal Taxation II). The content can be sophisticated

and challenging, which gives motivated students in this case accounting majors a chance to intellectually grow and distinguish theselves as they master the course material and complete the assigned cases. I could see them transitioning rom student to proessional

Retirement PlansMy wie and I plan to split our time between Ohio and Hawaii.

Working at Mount UnionI was drawn to Mount Union because it was a small, undergraduate, teaching-oriented institution. It understood its strengths andincorporated them well into a ocused mission.

What Ill MissI will miss interacting with the capable and motivated students whom I have encountered at Mount Union. I will also miss interactingwith my colleagues in the Department o Economics, Accounting and Business Administration and in other disciplines across campus

Advice or StudentsThink bigger than yoursel. Ill deer to the philosophy o Pro Football Hall o Famer Gale Sayers. His autobiography was titled I Am

Third. It is the beginning o his ull credo: The Lord is rst, my riends are second and I am third.

DR. WILLIAM COLEMANProessor and Co-Chair o the Department o Communicatio

Mount Union MemoriesMy ondest memories include climbing the Great Wall o China with students and Dr. Liangwu Yinand the many trips I made to the Tesuque Pueblo reservation in Santa Fe, NM with students especially the trip when our Japanese students perormed the Tea Ceremony with tribal membe

Advice or StudentsThe wisest advice comes rom two great intellects. First, the German philosopher Viktor Frankl:Listen to lie and what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best

your ability. And, second, always keep searching as the English poet T.S. Eliot wrote: We shall not cease rom exploration. And the eo all our exploring, Will be to arrive where we started, And know the place or the rst time.

Retirement PlansOne door closes; another door opens. Although I am leaving Mount Union, I have no intentions o retiring. I will remain actively en-gaged in international education and diversity issues. My rst project is to establish the Coleman Cultural Engagement Foundation thwill create and acilitate cross-cultural exchange opportunities or students. Eventually, I intend to teach abroad in China and Japan.

Working at Mount Union

I chose to work at Mount Union because o its reputation as a ne liberal arts institution.

What Ill MissIll miss engaging with students in the educational process and helping them to believe in themselves, my department colleagues anclose aculty riends and sta.

Favorite ClassFour stand out: Arican American Rhetoric, Peace Communication, Intercultural Communication and American Indian Rhetoric. They achallenged students to see the world rom dierent perspectives and to appreciate diversity.

DAVE ZOKYProessor o Accounting

Working at Mount UnionI was in public accounting beore working at Mount Union and basically had no lie. During thebusy season, I was working 65-70 hours a week, and I had no time to spend with my amily. I alwaythought Id like to try teaching i I wasnt in accounting. I heard about an opening at Mount Union,I applied, and 34 years later, here I am.

Mount Union MemoriesA lot o my best memories are o students graduating theyre so excited.

Retirement Plans

I have two horses I plan to ride, and I like to hunt, sh, do woodwork, garden and travel. I have ve acres so I take care o that. I also plagol every week with a group rom Mount Union.

What Ill Miss

Ill miss the collegiality, the members o my department and the students.

Favorite ClassMy avorite class to teach is Intermediate Accounting II. It was the most challenging class or the students but it was also really rewardwhen they understood the topics in the course.

Advice or StudentsAlways stay positive. Have a positive attitude and more times than not, things will work out well.

DR. JOHN KIRCHMEYER

Proessor o Computer Science and Inormation Systemsand University Marshal

Mount Union MemoriesI have too many wonderul memories to choose just one. I truly enjoy teaching and inectingstudents with my enthusiasm or learning and discovering. Seeing my current and ormer studentaccomplish amazing things is very moving.

Retirement PlansMy wie and I will spend even more time with our children and grandchildren, travel a little more and do more reading. She will also spenmore time knitting and crocheting, and I will spend more time building urniture, doing some home remodeling, golng and skiing.

Working at Mount UnionAt a national conerence, I had 10-minute interviews with several schools. The next morning, Bill Markley and his wie Pat were eatingbreakast in the hotel cae and invited me to join them. We had only known each other or those 10 minutes, but they were so riendlythat I thought, I these are the types o people who work at Mount Union, then I want to work there too.

What Ill Miss

I wont miss much, since I will be teaching part-time this all and taking a course this all. My wie and I will likely eat in the dining commons most days as usual.

Advice or Students

I tell every student and prospective student to take lots o dierent classes, explore dierent majors and try new things. Dont stop searing until you nd something you love. And, dont pick a career because it will make you the most money or because its what your parewant or you. Find a career that you are passionate about, one where you go to work every day and look orward to the experience.

LeadingLAS VEGASFor many Mount Union graduates, relocating for a career is a difcudecision. For alumni Michelle Reda 99, Tarion Young 07, Danae Barrett 9and Adam Altwies 97, uprooting from their hometowns to Las Vegas wamade easier by the exceptional education they received at Mount Union.

Michelle Reda 99Michelle Reda 99 works as the ex-

ecutive director o domestic andinternational marketing or WynnLas Vegas, a resort and casino in thecity. Responsible or overseeing ca-

sino marketing and outside networks,Michelle manages special events and

oversees company agents as they sendbusiness to the resort.

in class at Mount Union with making her so comortable in her crent work environment.

Public speaking was a huge part o the sport management mawhen I went to Mount Union, said Michelle. Everything I learnabout speaking has been applicable to what Im doing today.

When discussing her years at Mount Union, Michelle said that only has a ew wishes or current students.

I absolutely think my education at Mount Union has helped succeed, she said. Knowledge is extremely important. I encourastudents to learn another language, take strange classes and mthemselves as diverse as possible.

Michelle cites Dr. James Thoma and the late proessor Dan Gormas two infuences, calling them great proessors who let lastimpressions on her due to their involvement with students.

The Evolution o SPIREOnce Ron began realizing his vision or SPIRE, it didnt take long orplans to take shape.

We moved ast we drew up the plans and started building, Ronsaid. I dont wait on things. Growing up in an entrepreneurial envi-ronment, its common to move orward on a decision.

SPIRE started with what is currently the ront building o the complex.The acility now includes three main buildings and two outdoorstadiums one or international soccer, ootball, lacrosse, rugby andinternational track that seats 10,000 and one throwing stadium orjavelin, shotput, discus and hammer throw.

The main building, the Field and Cristal Courts Building, includesa synthetic tur eld that can be used as a ull-size soccer, lacrosse,ootball, baseball, sotball, eld hockey or rugby eld or divided intosmaller training areas. In addition, the building includes a multipur-

pose court surace that can be used as 12 volleyball courts, six bas-ketball courts, nine tennis courts or or a variety o gymnastics events.

An indoor track and eld building eatures an eight-lane track, aseparate eld event area, a synthetic tur eld that can be used orootball, soccer, lacrosse, baseball and sotball and pitching machinesand batting cages.

A third building, the Aquatics/Perormance Training/Medical Center,eatures a 10-lane, 50-meter Olympic size pool, a diving area, thera-peutic pools and the Michael Johnson Perormance Training Center.

We decided to utilize the best materials and design to the higheststandards so that no sports governing body would say their athletes

couldnt train or compete here, Ron said.

Planned additions to the complex in the uture include a tencomplex, cross country course, academic complex with dormitoa hotel and conerence center, restaurants and a commercial deopment/retail village.

Preparing AthletesEvery athlete has an opportunity to better themselves at SPIREstitute, and the Michael Johnson Perormance Training Center onumerous resources to help athletes achieve their goals.

The Perormance Center allows any caliber athlete to better theselves through high levels o technology and precise analytprograms, Ron said. No matter which athlete walks in, they ully analyzed to their current capabilities and then a goal is setdepending on what they would like to achieve.

For each athlete, programs are put into place to help them achitheir goals no matter their age or ability.

The uniqueness is that we allow athletes to understand their bies beore they start trying to perect them, Ron explained. A lopeople dont understand how faws are creating problems somwhere else. You work on that and then you start perecting it.

In addition, athletes on campus work with athletes on the nutritioand medical sides o training.

No matter who walks in, were able to understand how theyre mand how we can help them better themselves, said Ron.

My wie and I rmly believe in ree market capitalism, he s

Anybody who studies and understands true ree market capitalunderstands that to be successul, you must be willing to share ysuccess with those who have been part o grooming you. Its nogovernment mandate, it is a moral obligation.

For more inormation on SPIRE, visit spireinstitute.org.

Community AssetIn addition to serving as a place or athletes to train, SPIRE has provento be an important resource or area schools and community groups.According to Ron, the Geneva Area City School District uses thecomplex or middle school and high school sports programs. Thedistrict utilizes the acility or all ootball, track and soccer games. Inaddition, 12 high schools use the swimming pool or training andcompetition.

It has changed the thinking about competition in our schools, he

said. In the past they held dual meets. But back to the business side,its not good utilization o your actory foor to work that way so nowthere might be six to 10 schools using the acility at the same time.Its great to have all the area schools there because it heightens thelevel o competition.

The community has also beneted rom training, nutrition andcoaching capabilities oered at SPIRE. Various programs are oeredto dierent populations in the community. For example, the Stridersgroup includes more than 1,000 participants who walk courses setup within the acility. Veterans and Paralympic groups also benetrom SPIREs oerings. Ron estimates that the complex has servedhundreds o thousands o people since it opened.

Were blending everybody at this acility, Ron said. Its not justOlympians, its high school athletes, college students and veterans.This acility has the capabilities to handle A-Z.

Ron said that, to him, SPIRE is an example o sharing ones successwith others.

We decided to utilize thebest materials and designto the highest standards so tha

no sports governing body woulsay their athletes couldnt trainor compete here.

My job is to make sure we have areally good business culture here, to continue to drive revenues andhelp improve the an experience. We have to make the an experienceat FirstEnergy Stadium the best in the NFL.

A History in SportsFor both o the Stehliks, sports have been a driving orce in theirlives. Art chose to attend Mount Union, ollowing in the steps o hishigh school basketball coach, John Piper 58. He played basketballand baseball while at Mount Union.

It was a great experience, Art said. I met some great people playingsports at Mount Union. There were several guys who were somewhatolder than me who had been in the Marines. They were like grownmen and that really made it a lot o un.

During his sophomore year, Arts team won the Ohio ConerenceChampionship in basketball.

Mount Union hadnt won in 30 years, he said. I made the winningbasket. I got a lucky shot that went in, and we beat Capital to tieAkron or the Championship that year.

Though he was only on the team during his reshman year, one o thereasons Brent chose to attend Mount Union was to play basketball.

He continued to pursue his interest in athletics as he worked in sports inormation oce each o his our years at Mount Union, axpress releases, developing media guides and perorming other ta

The ability to do a number o dierent things and meet a varietdierent people had a huge impact on me, Brent said.

Brent also continued to pursue his love o sports in the classrooma sport management major, enjoying the small class sizes and relationship he built with Dr. Jim Kadlecek, associate proesso

I always knew I wanted to work in sports, but the structure o sport management curriculum prepared me because we did ao presentations and constant talking in ront o the class, he sWhen youre in a leadership position in sports you have to be ato do that.

It was Kadlecek who helped Stehlik land his rst job in the spoindustry ater graduation, working or the Tampa Bay Lightninticket sales.

Dr. Kadlecek was one o the reasons I got my rst job in sports,said. He thought o me when the opportunity came up because

knew that I was willing to move anywhere to get my oot in the dand wanted to get out o Ohio.
