Change has been on the horizon this

fall with news of transition plans at the

highest level of the university.

On August 29, President Jerry G.

Bawcom called a special faculty/staff

assembly to announce that he would

be stepping down as president at the

end of the academic school year. As

the assembly of employees sat silently

and listened, Dr. Bawcom had to stop

momentarily to regain his composure

as he spoke about his “wonderful 18

years of serving at this great institu-

tion.” He stated that after 40 years

in higher education leadership, 25

of those years as president, he was

looking forward to serving in a less

stressful capacity.

When Dr. Bawcom concluded his

remarks, Board Chair Andy Davis

joined Dr. Bawcom on the stage, and

the two longtime friends embraced.

Board Chair Davis then announced

to the assembly that the Executive

Committee of the Board of Trustees

had made a unanimous resolution to

appoint Dr. Bawcom as chancellor

beginning June 1, 2009.

As chancellor, Dr. Bawcom will

continue to have an active role at the

university, particularly in the areas

of public relations and fund raising.

According to Davis, that role will also

include providing continuity during the

leadership transition.

Trustees work to name successor

Following Dr. Bawcom’s announce-

ment of his decision to step down, the

Executive Committee of the board

began working to ensure a smooth

transition for the university.

Board Chair Andy Davis immedi-

ately appointed a Presidential Selection

Committee to start the selection

process. In subsequent meetings, the

committee members began weighing

their options and worked diligently

to determine the next steps for the

university.

According to Davis, the Presidential

Selection Committee’s discussions con-

tinued to lead them back to one person,

Dr. Randy O’Rear.

“Our deliberations led us to one clear

conclusion: we had the right candidate

already here at UMHB, one who has

a proven track record in higher educa-

tion leadership. Dr. O’Rear’s successful

oversight of the daily operations of the

campus for the past three and a half

years has been evident to the board.

We are very grateful for his outstanding

leadership,” said Davis.

Dr. Randy O’Rear named president

Th e Presidential Selection Commit-

tee presented its fi ndings to the board’s

Nominating Committee.

On September 19, in a regularly

scheduled trustee meeting, a special

executive session was called behind

closed doors. In a unanimous decision

based on the recommendation of the

Nominating Committee, Dr. Randy

O’Rear was named the 19th president

and CEO of the university, eff ective

June 1, 2009.

“We are extremely confi dent that as

president, Dr. O’Rear will assure the

continuity of our mission, our Chris-

tian principles and our profi ciency in

higher education. Because of his long

service and intricate knowledge of

UMHB, he will hold constant those

things we value while assuring the

university remains responsive to each

new generation and continues to evolve

Bawcom announces plan to step down end of May Trustees select O’Rear as next president, name Bawcom chancellor

After 18 years as president, Dr. Jerry G. Bawcom will become chancellor of UMHB on June 1; trustees were unanimous in their choice of Dr. Randy O’Rear to serve as the new president of the university.

Christian Studies welcomes dean

in our ongoing quest for higher excel-

lence,” said Board Chair Davis.

Dr. O’Rear will be the fi rst president

of UMHB who is also an alumnus of the

university. He graduated from UMHB

with a bachelor’s degree in business

administration in 1988 and an MBA

in 1997. O’Rear earned a doctorate in

Higher Education Administration from

Baylor University in 2004.

O’Rear has served at UMHB for 20

years, with the past three and one half

years as Executive Vice President and

Chief Operating Offi cer.

President Bawcom had high praise

for the Board’s decision on the presi-

dential selection.

“Dr. Randy O’Rear is an excellent

choice by the Board of Trustees to be-

come the next president of UMHB,” said

Bawcom. “He is a man of integrity with

tremendous experience; he is energetic

and will lead with a team-centered, in-

clusive approach.” —Carol Woodward

Dr. Tim Crawford was named dean

of the College of Christian Studies ef-

fective August 18.

Prior to coming to UMHB, Craw-

ford served in the Division of Christian

Studies at Bluefi eld College in Bluefi eld,

Virginia, as both a faculty member and

administrator for 18 years.

“Dr. Crawford comes to UMHB

with a wealth of administrative exper-

tise, scholarly production and teaching

skill,” said Dr. Steve Oldham, interim

provost.

Crawford had been recognized twice

Suzii Paynter, director of the Baptist

General Convention of Texas Chris-

tian Life Commission, visited UMHB

in September to deliver the inaugural

Environmental Issues and Christian

Faith Lecture, sponsored by the College

of Science.

Paynter described the Christian Life

Commission as the place “where faith

meets the public square.” As director

of the commission, she is called upon

to speak for the BGCT on issues that

aff ect Christians and Texans.

“Th e Bible is clear: the Creation is

God’s artistry,” Paynter told the audi-

ence. “God’s extravagance and artistry

is our joy, and as Luke 12:48 tells us,

‘From everyone to whom much has

been given, much will be required.’ ”

“Christian discipleship therefore

includes environmental stewardship,”

Paynter said. She off ered a number of

ways that Christians might care for the

world they have been given: driving

fuel effi cient cars, conserving water and

other natural resources, investigating

energy conservation options and renew-

able energy sources and focusing on

creation care in worship services.

Teacher Award, and students presented

past president of the National Associa-

tion of Baptist Professors of Religion.

Dr. Crawford earned his B.A. in

religion from Samford University in

Birmingham, Alabama; a Master of

Divinity from Southwestern Baptist

Th eological Seminary in Fort Worth;

and a Ph.D. in Old Testament from

Southern Baptist Th eological Seminary

in Louisville, Kentucky.

What it takes to be successful in

business is applying Christian prin-

ciples—that was the key message of

Dwight Nordstrom, who presented the

Heavin Lecture in Christian Principles

and Business Leadership in October.

After 25 years of living in and run-

ning businesses in China, Nordstrom, a

member of the Nordstrom department

stores family, has returned to the U.S.

to teach his successful business model.

“I am an entrepreneur. I am also a

missionary,” said Nordstrom.

“To be a high caliber company, it

takes ethics and teamwork.”

Nordstrom teaches that the Bible and

the ethics of the Bible have been statisti-

cally proven to be all that is necessary to

survive and succeed in business.

“We teach our employees these prin-

ciples: don’t steal, don’t covet, don’t lie

– that nothing justifi es a lie, that moral-

ity inside and outside of the workplace

makes a diff erence.”

His company, Pacifi c Resources

International, has more than a dozen

Christian for-profi t businesses in China

with approximately 1,400 employees.

In each of his operations in China,

he encourages employees to start small

group Bible studies and home churches.

In one location he started with 139

employees. Not one of them was a

Christian, and not one had a Bible.

Th ey had never heard of Jesus and

considered themselves to be atheists.

Yet in that location he has seen multiple

Christian study-groups form and sev-

eral home-church fellowships start.

Christian principles are enormously

important to his business goals, Nord-

strom said. He has two simple business

goals: 1) to survive and to grow his com-

pany to meet the goals of investors, and

2) to communicate the gospel to employees

and encourage them to start Bible studies

and local house-church fellowships.

Nordstrom, who has recently pub-

lished the book Transforming the World

Th rough Business, has seen a tremen-

dous growth of the church in China in

highly concentrated population areas.

Working 60 hours a week, Nord-

strom considers himself fortunate when

he can share his faith with one employ-

ee per month.

His advice for success in the 21st

century is to learn a language, especially

Chinese or Farsi, and to “share your faith.”

“You can do it,” he told the business

majors in the room. “Th is is a great

way to share the gospel. Th e world is

merging. Business is an integral part of

Successful business opens doorsfor sharing Gospel in China

Political foes stress need for national unity at October humanities lecture

Two of the country’s liveliest po-

litical journalists, Bob Beckel and Cal

Th omas, brought their wit and politi-

cal insight to UMHB in October, at a

lecture co-sponsored by the College of

Humanities and the Institute for the

Humanities of Salado.

Th e men, who are on diff erent sides

of the political spectrum, bantered back

and forth with each other for more than

an hour as they gave their views on how

to bring the country back together after

the divisive presidential election.

“Our goal is to move politicians toward

more civil partisanship,” said Th omas.

At the conclusion, the two sat at

a table signing the best-selling book

which they co-authored, Common

Ground: How to Stop the Partisan War

Th at Is Destroying America, a creative

look at saving the “middle ground” from

the Red State/Blue State madness.

For the second straight year, and

only the third time in the history of

women’s soccer at UMHB, the Lady

Cru team advanced to the American

Southwest Conference Championship

tournament this fall.

Women’s soccer began in 1998,

the same year the university started

Crusader football. Th e program has

had a tumultuous ten years, but under

head coach Meghann Brown it is

making its presence felt in the ASC.

Going into the tournament as

the No. 5 seed, the Lady Cru faced

fourth-ranked U.T.-Tyler in the open-

ing round of the conference play.

Although the team lost in the fi rst

round 6-0, they were still proud of

their historic run to the playoff s.

With 13 underclassmen, the Lady

Crusaders were a relatively young

team this year. “I told my girls, we

have something to prove; we are a

team to be reckoned with,” Brown

said. Coach Brown attributed the

season’s success to “the team working

as a whole quickly.”

Originally ranked sixth in ASC

preseason polls, the Lady Cru

completed a regular season that saw

them undergo a six-game winning

streak, a heartbreaking loss to the

University of the Ozarks, and season-

defi ning wins against Louisiana

College and Mississippi College. Th e

biggest obstacle the Lady Crusaders

overcame was inconsistency.

“We have been like a family, in that

we grew together through the six-

game winning streak and rebounded

from our loss to the Ozarks to qualify

for the tournament,” Brown said.

Th is was the fi rst ever back-to-back

conference tournament berths for the

Crusader women’s soccer team in the

history of their program.

Th e team also matched the school

single season record for victories with

a 9-4 talley in regular season ASC

play. Th e tournament loss was tough

for the young team, but the future

looks bright.

Coach Brown said, “I think we

are in a good spot for next year. We

should get new recruits who will

complement us, and next year we

should be better than this year.”

Although the season has ended, the

team will still be guaranteed one more

game this school year, and that’s the

annual alumni game scheduled in the

spring.

Th e alumni game is mostly about

Women’s soccer closes season with tournament play Despite ups and downs, team sets single season record for victories

According to Brown, the team

will lose only four players this year

to graduation. Next season they will

return with their leading-goal scor-

ers, junior Mickie Arredondo and

freshman Lexy Smith, who together

had a combined total of 16 goals and

ten assists.

fun, Coach Brown said. “We are

more than happy to have former

players come out, play a game and

have a meal with our team. We want

alumni members to stay connected

with women’s soccer and all Crusader

athletics,” she said.

groups such as Historical Phila, Royal

Academia, and alumni from the

psychology graduate programs held

mini reunions of their own before

heading to the stadium for a tailgate

party featuring burgers from Outback

Steakhouse.

Th e football game against Howard

Payne provided a positive wrap-up to the

P H I L A N T H R O P Y

With fanfare and grandeur, univer-

sity offi cials ceremonially cut the purple

ribbon on the new Paul and Jane Meyer

Christian Studies Center on Th ursday,

October 9.

In front of a crowd of more than 300

people, the president of the univer-

sity, Dr. Jerry G. Bawcom, and First

Lady Vicky Bawcom stood with Paul

and Jane Meyer of Waco to offi cially

open the building which was named

in the Meyers’ honor after their family

foundation provided the lead $1 million

toward the building’s construction.

Once the ribbon was cut, the crowd

moved into the Manning Chapel for

an hour-long dedication ceremony in

which the concert choir performed,

major benefactors were recognized and

information about the new facility was

shared.

“Once again we fi nd ourselves in a

magnifi cent building, which is a tribute

to our trustees, alumni, administrators,

faculty and benefactors who work to

provide the very best for our students,”

said Bawcom.

Th e new 18,800-square-foot build-

ing, designed by Temple architect Larry

Neal and constructed by Blair/Wil-

liams Construction of Belton, provides

space for classes, meetings and special

events.

Th e fi rst-fl oor foyer leads visitors

to a suite of offi ces for the dean of

Christian Studies and a student lounge.

Th ere are four classrooms, sized to

accommodate students enrolled in Old

and New Testament classes each year.

A conference room off ers an alternative

space for smaller seminar courses.

Th e fi rst fl oor also includes the

Manning Chapel, designed to hold 275

people, which was fi lled to overfl ow

during the dedication ceremony. Th e

chapel has vaulted ceilings and stained

glass windows. Th e university antici-

pates it will become a central gathering

place for meetings, for teaching and for

students to worship.

also serves as the home for UMHB’s new Center for

Baptist Studies. Offi ces for members of the religion

faculty are clustered together nearby.

Paul and Jane Meyer, for whom the building was

named, are well known for their international business

success. Paul J. Meyer made his mark on the world

of business in the 1960s as the founder of Success

Motivation Institute (SMI), a company committed to

motivating people to reach their full potential.

Paul and Jane emphasize the importance of stew-

ardship and giving, and they have instilled these values

in their family. Today members of the Meyer family

are principal owners of more than 40 corporations

around the world. Th e Meyers have, through their

family foundation, given back to their community and

to those in need by supporting a wide range of chari-

ties and ministries. Th e family’s decision to make the

lead gift for this Christian Studies Center provided es-

sential fi nancial groundwork and inspired the support

of many others for the project. —Carol Woodward

After nearly a year of research, focus groups

and input from multiple groups, the university has

officially adopted a new slogan. Everything from

billboards on the highway to university letterhead

to the website will be bearing the words “Educa-

tion for life. . . Experience of a lifetime.”

In an effort to make the new slogan more than

just words, a campaign is underway to find alumni

who will share their personal stories about why

their education at UMHB was the “experience of

a lifetime.” The university website (above) will

feature these stories in written excerpts as well as

video clips.

If you would like to share your experience,

please contact Carol Woodward at cwoodward@

umhb.edu.
