“Learning from experience leads to confidence building.

In order to be leaders, they have to do it. They get ownership of it.”

SU’s Air Force ROTC Detachment 772 has been named Southeast Region Small Unit High Flight Winner for the third time in four years. Det. 772, consisting of 23 cadets, was rewarded for their accomplishments that stood out among the 14 small units in the region.

Detachments are evaluated in the areas of officer commissions, academic performance, recruiting and retention, cadet activities, community service and student involvement.

Cadets operate their own cadet wing, with leadership positions such as wing commander and squadron commanders.

“The cadets learn from experience,” said Lt. Col. Patrick Morris, commander, AFROTC Det. 772. “Learning from experience leads to confidence building. In order to be leaders, they have to do it. They get ownership of it.”

Det. 772 is unique among AFROTC units in that most of its cadets have prior military service.

“Most of the cadets are prior military. They are here to prepare themselves for active duty as officers and, because we are small, each cadet gets a lot more time to lead,” said Morris. “They are a self-motivated group of people with a tradition of high energy.”

Cadets take part in training that exposes them to Air Force operations. Training involves exposure to aircraft such as the C-17 Globemaster cargo plane, weapons demonstrations of M16 and M60 machine guns, wartime scenarios, discussions about security forces and pilot training, and Air Force base operations.

They also participate in military orientation training to learn about military culture, marching, physical fitness and military knowledge.

Cadets perform as a color guard at University events, and they simulate military logistics exercises, team training and inspections through cadet run camping trips, Habitat for Humanity, community service projects and banquets.

Det. 772 cadets have a history of being topnotch heroes, according to Morris. One cadet served with Special Forces in Afghanistan and earned eight air medals. One cadet was named Airman of the Air Force. Another was named videographer of the year. Another has 10 years of enlisted military experience, and many have served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. During this award period, a cadet was awarded the AFROTC Silver Valor Award. Because of his perceptiveness and quick actions, he saved the life of a heart attack victim.

A collection of the credit projects was compiled to showcase the remarkable efforts of the students and their faculty mentors.

Credit projects ranged from analyzing the walking gait of humans to studying the growth patterns of the Arabidopsis thaliana plant.

Junior Michael A. Lance developed a Sudoku computer game with varying difficulty levels, while Mary Kathleen Ruddy, a sophomore, studied the different body gestures that go into conducting an orchestra and conducted her own piece of music.

Ruddy said, “The project provided both a visual and hands-on approach to present the basic conducting skills needed as a foundation for every conductor. As an instrumental musician, it was a very valuable experience for me to work and teach a vocal piece.”

Credit projects encourage students to gain hands-on experience in the careers and fields of study they are interested in. The Honors Program not only specializes in increasing the students’ retained knowledge, but it concentrates on providing its students the richest academic and life experiences possible.

Bachelor of Management Arts available totally online

By Allie Osman

A

working adult who has an associate’s degree can complete his or her bachelor of management arts (BMA) degree in as few as 20 months through the Evening College at CSU, and that includes having time off at Christmas and the month of May. Even better, the BMA is available totally online, in addition to the traditional face-to-face method of learning.

“With the addition of the online program, we have allowed our target audience to increase from local to throughout the region and the nation,” said Dr. Stan Parker, dean of the Evening College.

6

The Bachelor of Management Arts Degree Completion Program is a distance education program available online for working adult students. In order to make the program even more accommodating, the Evening College ensures that each full-time student continues sequentially in a lock-step program in which students are automatically registered for their next required class.

CSU’s BMA program, which began with 11 students and now boasts more than 300, consists of 20 cohorts. Each cohort consists of approximately 20 BMA students and helps them maintain a

sense of consistency and a basis for relationship building throughout their time in the program.

In addition to being a degree program that values flexibility and practicality, the dean of the Evening College ensures personal attention.

“After the first night of classes, each professor of record makes contact with me about every issue with every student,” said Parker.

Parker takes the training of his faculty members seriously to ensure that each provides the students with the individualized attention they need. He requires all Evening College faculty to attend training three times per year to keep their skills sharp on such important topics as faith integration and online course facilitation. Each online course is also equipped with an online tutorial so that students can be sure of the correct way to complete coursework and can, therefore, spend their time learning. Assistance is also available by phone or e-mail 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

BMA courses are just five weeks in length.

Although the courses are rigorous and comprehensive, students can complete the program in a short amount of time.

In addition to the BMA, the Evening College provides three other degree programs (bachelor of technology, bachelor of science in business administration, bachelor of science in criminal justice) and six minors (business administration, criminal justice, economics, English, history, religion).

According to a study conducted by Nowell Levitz, 60 percent of postsecondary students are 25 years of age or older. The percentage of students entering college after high school is leveling off, and more Americans are starting or finishing degrees as adult learners.

According to a survey of CSU’s BMA students, the top four reasons they enrolled in the Evening College’s online or face-to-face BMA program are: to gain new skills for a job upgrade; to earn a degree to fulfill a lifelong dream; for personal enrichment to be a role model for family, for enjoyment or a challenge; or to meet a requirement for a current or future job in the constantly changing job market and be upwardly mobile.

Twenty percent of BMA students are 23 to 24 years of age, 42 percent are 25 to 34 years of age, 22 percent are between 35 and 44 years of age, and 16 percent are 45 years of age or older.

Sharp Named New Chair of Religion

By Allie Osman

r. Keith Sharp has been named chair of the religion department. He began his CSU career in May of 1997 as director and instructor of youth ministry in order to jumpstart the program. He was promoted to assistant professor of religion and youth ministry in 2003.

Sharp has witnessed the progress of the department under the guidance of three previous chairs. His vision for the religion department is to expand the impact of the program.

“I’ve seen the momentum that has been built,” said Sharp. “We have a regional distinction with our program of religion and youth ministry. I’d like to see us become nationally known for the ministry we provide.”

“We have developed a reputation among churches and Christian institutions in the Southeast of having a unique mixture of exceptional scholarship with practical application. An example is that all of our professors have outstanding academic credentials with extensive experience in the local church ministry,” said Sharp.

Sharp’s vision for the future is one of transition and transformation.

Students must sign a song in “I see the next five years as a period of tranThe Deaf Experience class. sition in which we prepare our curriculum for the next generation of students,” said Sharp.

“Millennial students want to not only hear you talk about it, but see you do it.”

Sharp explained that religion and youth ministry students are prepared academically, spiritually and through practical experience.

This practical experience is gained through pleted his doctoral dissertation on deafness internships with local churches.

“These children need all the love we can give them,” said Naylor.

The group from CSU spent much of their time in Campulung with the children at the state-run orphanage Scoala 16. The group prepared meals for the children, assisted in feeding them, and ministered to the children in the form of Sunday School, playing games and giving them lots of love.

The group also conducted Vacation Bible School for the Campulung community. Families participating in VBS enjoyed music ministry, crafts and learning the Gospel.

“I learned from the trip how vital relationships and community are.

Professor Publishes CSI Textbook with a Twist

t was two years of research, writing and waiting well spent.

“Most forensic textbooks are written by scientists.

This one is written by practitioners,” said Dr. Jacqueline Fish, chair of criminal justice. “This textbook is good to teach from because it contains the things that work.”

Fish published a new textbook, Crime Scene Investigation, the first week of July. She was the content expert, writing the majority of the text and including contributions from her professional colleagues Larry Miller and Michael Braswell. Both were Fish’s undergraduate professors at East Tennessee State University where she earned her B.S. in criminal justice. Fish has 17 years of experience as a police officer with the Knox County Sheriff’s Department in Knoxville, Tenn. She also holds an M.S. in criminal justice from the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga and an Ed.D. from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.

Miller is a photography and questioned document expert, while Braswell provided the crime story that plays out throughout the textbook. Each chapter begins with a story excerpt, and the corresponding chapter explains the related method or element of investigation.

“The textbook covers the whole spectrum of crime scene investigation, from arrival on-scene, through collecting evidence, to taking the evidence to the lab for evaluation,” said Fish.

The textbook’s intended audience is undergraduate students. In fact, both CSU and ETSU are using the book. Meanwhile, a number of other universities are reviewing it for potential use.

“Students will come out of school with a degree that prepares them with the reality of what to expect [in criminal justice], not the TV version,” said Fish.

ment, building the new B.S. in health promotion program and maintaining the National Council Licensure Examination-Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN) pass rate of 95 percent or higher.

“CSU is currently at a 100 percent pass rate following a four-year intensive plan to improve student pass success,” said Hulsey.

Last but not least, she hopes to increase students’ exposure to new technology in skills labs and through simulations.

“Christian nurses are called to love as Jesus did – without discrimination and without reserve,” said Hulsey. “My vision is that through integration of faith in the nursing curriculum and through faculty role modeling of nursing as a Christian calling, our nursing students will carry out their service in the spirituality of caring and in relationship with the Lord.”

New Pilot Program on Cutting Edge

Changes in the School of Nursing Story & Photos by Allie Osman

New Dean named Dr. Tara Hulsey has been named the dean of the School of Nursing upon the retirement of Dr. Marian Larisey. Previously, Hulsey was associate dean for academics and associate dean for faculty at MUSC College of Nursing. Prior to that, she served as regional systems coordinator for the Lowcountry’s eight county perinatal region with the MUSC College of Medicine, where she facilitated and evaluated the transport of high-risk mothers and babies.

Hulsey is currently serving a second elected term as the region seven coordinator for Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society for Nursing. She is also one of 20 nurses chosen nationally each year for the Robert Wood Johnson Executive Nurse Fellowship, a three-year fellow10

ship which she is fulfilling from 2006 to 2009.

Hulsey earned a Ph.D. in nursing science from the University of South Carolina, an M.S.N. from MUSC and a B.S.N. from Clemson University.

She comes to Charleston Southern with several goals in mind.

“I’d like to partner with community practice sites to develop a program that will provide the nurse graduates who will meet the current needs of the health care environment in our community and state,” said Hulsey.

She also plans to integrate quality and safety education into the B.S.N. curriculum, a national initiative she is working on as a Robert Wood Johnson Executive Nurse Fellow.

Her vision for the School of Nursing includes increasing B.S.N. and R.N.-B.S.N. enroll-

CSU’s School of Nursing is one of only 15 nursing schools in the nation selected as a pilot site for a new initiative. As such, the School of Nursing has been awarded a grant entitled Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) that is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

The aim of the initiative is to integrate six core quality and safety competencies for nurses: patient centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence based practice, quality improvement, safety, and informatics.

“These competencies are not yet mandated, but there is a national awareness of the need and a move to integrate them. This pilot study is on the cutting edge of curriculum development in nursing,” said Hulsey.

CSU has partnered with the Medical University of South Carolina Hospital as its practice partner for the pilot project.

Hulsey is serving as the project director, and her team includes two CSU nursing faculty members, MUSC Hospital’s chief nursing officer and the hospital’s director of risk management.

The pilot project requirements include collaboration with an advisory board and other pilot schools. To accomplish the project goals, the CSU team will be producing a curriculum map that integrates the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes related to the six competencies; developing and evaluating teaching strategies for classroom, clinical and simulation skills labs; and evaluating a class of graduating students’ perceptions of competency achievement.

“Funding through this initiative will allow us to expand the simulation equipment in our nursing lab,” said Hulsey. “Safety courses and resources already available at MUSC Hospital will be integrated into the curriculum.”

Walking as Jesus did A

DISTRACTED FROM GOD: FIVE-YEAR WORLDWIDE STUDY

by Michael Zigarelli

Impediments to a life with God abound. Internal obstacles (like pride, fear, and greed) and external obstacles (like cultural conditioning, legal constraints, and that annoying co-worker in the next cubicle) combine to make daily surrender a daily challenge.

Still,

God’s

call

resounds: “whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did” (1 John 2:6).

11

Among the primary obstacles to walking “as Jesus did” is today’s frenetic pace of life.

Busyness, hurry, overload, burnout, overextension – it’s known by many names. But there’s one common outcome: the accelerated pace and activity level of the modern day distracts us from God and separates us from the abundant, joyful, victorious life He desires for us.

For the past five years, I’ve researched the pervasiveness and dimensions of this overload problem among Christians. What God is revealing through this study is quite arresting, one might even say scandalous. It seems that Christians worldwide are simply becoming too busy for God.

Figure 1: “I rush from task to task”

Percentage of Christians who say often or always

The Five-Year Study From 2002 through 2007, I collected data from more than 20,000 Christians using an online tool called The Obstacles to Growth Survey. The majority of data comes from North America, but a sizable amount also comes from Asia (687 Christian respondents), Europe (595), Australia (488), Africa (384), and South America (109). Here are three of the many things I’m discovering from the research: • Busyness and hurry are global problems • Christians around the world are distracted from God • Pastors are the most hurried professionals, adversely affecting their relationship with God

Busyness and Hurry are Global Problems

Christians around the World are Distracted from God Figure 2 indicates how distracted from God we are. Here the results seem even more egregious, given the biblical call to continual communion with God, and the dangers of a mere intermittent relationship with Him. Across continents we see that about six in 10 Christians say that it’s “often” or “always” true that “the busyness of my life gets in the way of developing my relationship with God.” The distraction is most encumbering in North America, Africa and Europe, but overall, the problem is clearly a worldwide concern.

Figure 2: “The busyness of my life gets in the way of developing my relationship with God”

Figure 1 displays the percentage of Christians who say that they “often” or “always” rush from task to task. On average, more than four in 10 Christians around the world report this to be the case, with results varying slightly by continent. And a closer analysis showed that the problem is greatest not in the United States, but in Japan and the Philippines. Most notable, though, is the ubiquity of the problem around the world. Busyness and hurry are not problems that are unique to the West, as some might suspect, but seem to be pervasive globally.

Pastors are the Most Hurried Professionals, Adversely Affecting their Relationship with God Examining the problem by profession is also instructive. I’ve only analyzed a handful of professions to date, but what I’ve found thus far is that the 300+ pastors in my data set are the most likely to say they rush from task to task (Figure 3). And looking at the spiritual consequences across professions (Figure 4), 65% of pastors – about two out of every three pastors – say that their busyness gets in the way of their life with God. It’s tragic. And ironic. The very people who could best help us escape the bondage of busyness are themselves in chains.

“Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” – Apostle Paul, Romans 12:2

Brainwashed Believers My data set does not include sufficient information to pinpoint why Christians are so busy, so hurried, and so distracted from their relationship with God. But if you’ll allow me to conjecture, I think the problem may be described as a vicious cycle, prompted by cultural conformity. In particular, it may be the case that (1) Christians are assimilating to a culture of busyness, hurry and overload, which leads to (2) God becoming more marginalized in Christians’ lives, which leads to (3) a deteriorating relationship with God, which leads to (4) Christians becoming even more vulnerable to adopting secular assumptions about how to live, which leads to (5) more conformity to a culture of busyness, hurry and overload. And then the cycle begins again.

If Christians have indeed become trapped in this downward spiral, and if that is indeed compromising their relationship with God, their sanctification, and their ability to live the lives God has ordained, then the cycle must be broken. One logical and faithful place to start is by adopting the wisdom of the Apostle Paul, who offered a remedy to the pernicious effects of cultural conformity: “Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2).

Breaking this cycle, according to Paul, begins not with reordering our lives, but with reordering our thinking – our minds, our worldview, the way we think about who God is and how He wants us to live our lives. Slowly, but inexorably, many Christians have been brainwashed into adopting a way of life that relegates God to the periphery. It’s as invisible as it is insidious. But slowly, and inexorably, scripture says, those effects can be reversed. God will renew our minds, aligning our thoughts with His thoughts, to produce a saner, healthier, more peaceful, more God-honoring life, despite the fact that we’re marinated in a speed-addicted culture. Colaboring with Him, we can once and for all break the vicious cycle that has us in bondage to busyness.

How to do that is the subject of many volumes, including the fine contemporary works Freedom of Simplicity (Richard Foster), Margin (Richard Swenson), and Boundaries (Henry Cloud and John Townsend). Recently, I’ve also tried my hand at this, publishing a four-week Bible study curriculum to help attack the problem, Freedom from Busyness: Biblical Help for Overloaded People (LifeWay Christian Resources, 2006), a multimedia study with text, video, audio and other small group resources.

Regardless the resource we use, though, it’s imperative that we extinguish this threat – this incursion on our thinking that’s led to an incursion on our time, our relationships, and our health.

Christians are afflicted worldwide. This study suggests that the epidemic of busyness and distraction may in fact be a pandemic, touching every corner of the globe. But the good news is that this is a curable disease. Paul diagnoses it as a disease of the mind: as we think, so we do. And as such, we should begin by treating our minds, recalibrating our assumptions about how to live and reversing the secular brainwash that holds us in captivity.

No other antidote will be a permanent one.

GOD TRANSFORMS LIFE OF TEACHER

14

Story & photo by Allie Osman

E

ighth grade science teacher Jennifer Sauer of Rollings Middle School of the Arts was named Dorchester District 2’s Teacher of the Year for the 2006-2007 academic year.

Sauer credits Charleston Southern with pushing her down the road to personal redemption and success.

“Watching me struggle through my youth, the last thing one would have thought was that I’d become a teacher,” said Sauer.

In early April of her senior year, she dropped out of high school.

In October of the same year, she found out that she was pregnant.

In spring, a few months before her son was to be born, she got a phone call from Baptist College (now CSU) encouraging her to consider applying. “I was sure they had the wrong number, but they insisted that I was the person for whom they were looking. They offered me grants and help in scheduling an appointment to take my GED,” said Sauer. “It took me years to realize that the way I got into college was unusual. I finally reasoned that someone in my miserable high school experience recognized my potential. I will be eternally grateful to this mystery person.”

After her freshman year, however, she transferred to College of Charleston. “I still had issues with authority, with my attitude, and with forgiving God,” said Sauer.

Sauer earned her bachelor’s degree in four years while working two jobs and raising her son.

“When I was asked upon entering college what career path I would take, the only thing that felt right was becoming a teacher.

All that mattered to me was that for some child, even if it was only one, I wanted to be absolutely everything my teachers had not been for me,” said Sauer.

Since 1993, she has taught reading, math, social studies and science at Dubose Middle School in Summerville, S.C., and then prealgebra and science at Rollings in Summerville since 1997.

When she began working at Rollings, the school was being used as a worship center on Sundays for Crossroads Community Church. She would go in to work and hear the congregation singing and Pastor Peppy DuTart preaching. She also witnessed “Pastor Peppy” speaking at an 8th grade career day and was impressed by his genuineness. Sauer decided to start attending church again and resolved to bring her husband and son with her.

“I needed to grow up, and God played a major role in that,” said Sauer. “I needed to be broken and use my past experiences to help kids later.”

Sauer believes that each student needs to hear a different message because they all come from different pasts and face different futures. “However,” said Sauer, “If I have to put it in general terms, I would tell them: I forgive their mistakes and they should forgive themselves, too. Use your mistakes as a life-learning tool because our pasts do not have to dictate our futures. Most importantly, I want them all to leave me knowing that I believe in them, and I know they have the power to achieve.”

Sauer is currently pursuing her M.Ed. in elementary education administration and supervision at Charleston Southern.

Ministries Students treat children’s ailments in Sudan

By Allie Osman

A

little nine-year-old boy sat stoically still while medical missionaries cleaned his wound; a gash on his eyelid that led to infection and fever. It was after the treatment that he finally cried, not because of the pain from his injury, but from his intense hunger.

“I can fix that!” said Grace Deal, her voice ringing with excitement. She ran to get him a bowl of beans and rice. He stayed with the missionaries at the medical clinic for a week. By the time he left to return to his village, he was not only healed, but was laughing and playing Frisbee.

Deal, a junior in the nursing program, spent a bit more than a month in Sudan from May 18 to June 21. Two other CSU students joined her for two weeks. Regina Bell is a junior in the nursing program, and Matt Carsner is a junior in the premed program. They traveled to Sudan with one of the many teams that rotated through the area.

During their time in Akot, a village in southern Sudan, Deal and her team established a vaccination camp where they administered 8,000 meningitis immunizations. She also conducted clinical rotations and visited remote villages of 80 to 300 people to treat malaria, urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted diseases, rashes, funguses and the like.

This trip was Deal’s fourth visit to Sudan.

Bell and Carsner joined her on their first visit.

“My parents brought me on my first trip to Africa in the fourth grade. I felt drawn to the people,” said Deal. “The little things can make such a difference there. I can help them and

love them in a way that is biblical, and they understand.”

As a result of this trip to Sudan, Deal has a focused interest in pediatrics because it is a health field in which she can help children and, therefore, help the entire family.

She witnessed such healing for both a baby and his mother during the treatment that took place during this trip. The baby was suffering from repeated seizures and not eating well. After being treated by a local witch doctor, his illness worsened. The group of medical missionaries brainstormed and prayed for a solution and were able to come up with a treatment regimen that transformed the baby to health and gave hope to the mother.

All this took place in a little faraway place called Akot that is not really so far away, that is not really so foreign, where people are not really so different. The settlement where the medical clinic is located revolves around an airstrip where food and clothing are delivered by organizations such as UNICEF, the United Nations World Food program and U.S. Aid. According to Deal, the local population fluctuates because of tribal wars, but has grown over

the past four years that she has been visiting for summer medical mission trips. The landscape is flat and typically sandy, except during the rainy season that produces some greenery. The people are tall and such a beautiful, deep black that some appear almost blue. The prominent tribe in the area is the Dinka.

Deal loves the people and enjoys bestowing her love upon them. During the last weekend of her trip, Deal and her team held a memorial service for a boy who died of meningitis earlier in the year. The Deal family is close with the boy’s mother but was uncertain of how she would respond to the memorial. The boy’s mother responded by writing the Deal family a letter describing the great love they had shared with her.

“She never imagined some Americans would cry over the loss of one Sudanese child,” said Deal.

“I've been very blessed in life, and I would like to think that it was because I was faithful.”

Ovie Mughelli, fullback for the Atlanta Falcons

Lives impacted at FCA camp

By Blake Freeland

D

espite torrential rains that dropped a couple inches of water on the campus, hundreds of high school kids converged on CSU this summer for a football camp.

In mid-July hundreds of thousands of youth did the same thing all around the country – almost. The drills, the sweat, the tired legs and gallons of Gatorade were all similar, but one major difference does stand out. So what was it that made more than 500 athletes choose to come to CSU? The camp was part of the “Game Ready” Fellowship of Christian Athletes program. FCA leaders created the camps based on Ephesians 6:11, which reads “Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics of the devil.” The camps are designed to allow athletes to learn tactics of their own that they can use on the field as well as in life.

Former FCA Camp alumnus Shaun Alexander, had this to say on the camp Web site, “FCA Camp [in 1997] significantly altered my life...That camp was the beginning of my learning the meaning of

16

accountability...I believe in FCA and what they want to accomplish.”

Coaches such as Bobby Bowden and Jim Tressel have also been heavily involved with FCA camps around the country. At Charleston Southern, Lowcountry native Ovie Mughelli took time out of his own camp to share his experiences with the campers.

“I can't say enough about how God has impacted my life,” said the fullback for the Atlanta Falcons. “I grew up in church, and even though I slipped a little during college, FCA really helped me get back on track. I've been very blessed in life, and I would like to think that it was because I was faithful.”

All-American wide out Danny Buggs also spoke to the group, delivering a solid message that helped foster more than 100 decisions.

“I was one of the most miserable AllAmericans that you will ever see,” he told the group. “I went to a rally, just like this one and heard a study on John 3:16, and it changed my life. I look at you like young Danny Buggs just wanting to hear the Word and be challenged.”

FCA camps are in their 51st year of existence, but this was the first year that Charleston Southern served as the host for the camp. As soon as talks came up, though, it appeared to be a perfect fit.

“I have been blessed to attend and participate in FCA camps for more than 30 years,” said Athletic Director Hank Small. “Because of that, it is a real privilege to host a camp on our campus. I know for [University President] Dr. Hunter, hosting these kind of events is a large part of the hopes and plans for this athletic department.”

Head CSU Football Coach Jay Mills, who served as the master of ceremonies on Saturday, was excited for the opportunity to reach people in a different way.

“The relationship between Charleston Southern and FCA is one of consistent and mutual support,” said Mills. “We are excited to host this camp as we continue to integrate sports with the Christian message. I know of no greater way to do that, than through FCA.”

Donors step up to provide three new scoreboards

By Blake Freeland

“E

very one of us gets through the tough times because somebody is there, standing in the gap to close it for us.”

The quote may be by Oprah Winfrey, but it could not be truer for Charleston Southern.

Recently, the athletic department has had more than one person stand in the gap for it.

Along with a significant gift to the track program by Dr. Michael Frost, John Kammeyer and Bobby Bryant have each stepped up with substantial contributions for the Field House, as the Bucs continue to make improvements in equipment and facilities, campuswide.

Kammeyer, a CSU Hall of Famer and owner of Rug Masters, and Bryant, of Coldwell BankerCoastal Properties, have funded the purchase of three new scoreboards for the Field House.

“Our program is so thankful to Bobby Bryant and John Kammeyer for making this possible and for their commitment to the CSU basketball program,” said Head Coach Barclay Radebaugh.

This isn’t the first time for either Buccaneer to step up when called upon. Kammeyer, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1991 for baseball and basketball, provided a carpet with BUCCANEERS on it for under the benches.

Bryant, a former business management student, was key in lining the entrance way with palm trees and getting new lighting in the gym.

“I think it’s important for alumni who have had success in life to give back to the university,” said Kammeyer, “The next generation should benefit from the previous generations who’ve been there.”

Bryant echoed the sentiment of Kammeyer, stressing the improvements to benefit the future of the program.

"When the University hired Barclay Radebaugh, I committed to Barclay that I would do all that I could to assist him in bringing in better studentathletes,” said Bryant. “We’ve improved our facilities and are City Champs two years in a row.

We’re improving, and I take pride in being a small part of our improvement and success.”

Combining for the new scoreboards, Kammeyer and Bryant are helping CSU to get rid of outdated equipment in favor of state-ofthe-art Daktronics scoreboards for both ends.

The north scoreboard will feature more easily read LED digit technology, while the south end will see the addition of a video message board.

The new screen will display up-to-theminute stats and will allow for animations on a full-color 6 x 10-foot screen.

A final four-sided scoreboard will be hung over center court and will feature the time and score on a 4 x 10-foot panel.

Other updates in the Field House over the past year include track lighting, highlighting “Home of the Buccaneers” over the entrances,

as well as additional seating in the south end. In two seasons under Radebaugh, the Buccaneers have posted a 13-9 record in the Field House, including victories over High Point and Coastal Carolina, each ranked in the top of the Big South at the time.

“We are so excited to continue the process of making the Buc Dome the best that it can possibly be,” said Radebaugh. “It has the potential to be a great home-court environment, and adding these three scoreboards will certainly enhance the enjoyment of our fans and student body during home games. In recruiting, every detail matters. This is certainly a step in the right direction.”

School Ties message from the director of alumni affairs

by David Weiss ’03, Director of Alumni Affairs

E

very fall semester brings a fresh beginning, but this fall brought a fresh start to the largest freshman class in school history, as well as record enrollment of 3,286.

With the increasing number of students comes an increase in demand on scholarships, loans, and work-study programs. In short, college is expensive, and most of our students will need some form of financial assistance to make a college education a reality.

As a student, I was very fortunate to receive scholarships that made it possible for me to attend Charleston Southern.

As alumni director, I have had the chance to personally thank many whose generosity over the years has made the education of many alumni a reality.

Like any other college or university, CSU relies heavily on its alumni for support. Some colleges in our own state of South Carolina report that as many as 50 percent of their alumni are giving a gift to their alma mater, a statistic CSU doesn’t match.

I’m challenging you to help us increase our percentage of active alumni. The 2007 President’s Report, located in this issue, highlights those alumni who have thought of CSU students and made a gift to the University sometime during the previous year.

Please look at your class year and see how it stacks up to other classes. Encourage your classmates and alumni friends to make a donation of any size this year. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved and have an impact on our students. You may make a pledge during Phonathon; you may find out about joining our Board of Visitors; you may join our Buc Club; or you may join the President’s Scholarship League. To get involved or to find out about other ways to give, contact the alumni office directly at alumni@csuniv.edu or at 843-863-7516.

The Alumni Association forms the backbone of CSU. We must give our University the support it needs!

Pass ITon!

by David Weiss ’03, Director of Alumni Affairs

S

pring means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but in the alumni office, spring means Phonathon. More than $33,000 in pledges was received during February and March of 2007, as our alumni volunteers and student callers worked diligently to contact more than 12,000 graduates to ask for support.

With nearly 3,300 students this year, the need for student scholarships is greater than ever. Making a pledge to the Phonathon effort is a wonderful way to have a big impact on the lives of students. Here is the challenge for alumni: if you have participated in Phonathon before, please prayerfully consider increasing your gift for 2008. If you have never given to Phonathon before, please start now. Even a gift of $25 can have a huge impact on the lives of our students. Help us pass on the great times, great friends, and great education we received at CSU to the current generation of Buccaneers.

If you would like to save a phone call, please contact the alumni office at 843-863-7516 or by e-mail at alumni@csuniv.edu to get your pledge in early!

As part of the opening convocation Aug. 29, alumni representing three decades shared their views on integrating faith in life.

Dr. Amy Nolan ’94, associate professor of biology at CSU, spoke on integrating faith in learning. “The most important lessons I’ve ever learned were about Jesus,” said Nolan. She encouraged students to look at life through a biblical perspective. Prior to returning to CSU to teach, Nolan was in a postdoctoral fellowship program researching breast cancer at the Medical University of South Carolina.

Dr. Danny Nicholson ’84, vice president for development at Coastal Carolina University, became interested in integrating faith in leading through his career. “Higher education is about touching people,” Nicholson said. “Examples in your life are everything. Find people to mentor you.” He spoke of a management institute he recently attended at Harvard. “One lesson I learned was leaders fail because they can’t get inside people.” Leaders must have empathy for their people.

Joy OBidike ’04, a doctoral student at the Medical University of South Carolina, spoke on integrating faith in serving. OBidike said, “I’m simply a vessel.” She sees her career choice as one of service. She told students, “Firmly ground yourself in your faith and let that be your compass.” She began serving others while a student at CSU, where she served two terms as president of the study body.

Just One BOARD OF VISITORS CAMPAIGN

WHAT IS JUST ONE?

WHO COULD If each of our 365 Board of Visitors helps recruit Just One BE JUST ONE? new Board of Visitors member (BOV), and that new BOV makes the same commitment for the following year, CSU would have more than 1,000 BOVs in less than two years.

That commitment would result in more than $1 million donated toward student scholarships.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU FIND JUST ONE? If you know a potential BOV, we are willing to work with your schedule and assist you as much as possible, including tickets to sporting events, special event invitations and campus tours.

Once you have created a relationship with a potential BOV by using our resources or simply engaging him or her in a conversation, we can arrange a casual lunch or meeting to discuss the multiple benefits of the Board of Visitors.

Each day, we are exposed to potential BOVs. These people include but are not limited to: co-workers, financial planners, accountants, ministers, fellow church members, small business owners, new businesses in town, medical professionals, home builders, young professionals, bankers, real estate professionals, auto dealers, insurance agents, educators, restaurant owners, and the list goes on.

Just One scholarship can be the difference between a student attending CSU or not.

Just One graduate can impact thousands of lives.

All because of...

CSU welcomes Tara Hulsey as dean of the School of Nursing.

Previously, she was associate dean for academics and associate dean for faculty at MUSC College of Nursing. Prior to that, she served as regional systems coordinator for the Lowcountryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight county perinatal region with the MUSC College of Medicine, where she facilitated and evaluated the transport of high-risk mothers and babies. Hulsey is currently serving a second elected term as the region seven coordinator for Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society for Nursing. She is also one of 20 nurses chosen nationally each year for the Robert Wood Johnson Executive Nurse Fellowship, a three-year fellowship which she is fulfilling from 2006 to 2009.

The School of Nursing is one of only 15 nursing schools in the nation selected as a pilot site for a new initiative. As such, CSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Nursing has been awarded a grant entitled Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) that is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The aim of the initiative is to integrate six core quality and safety competencies for nurses: patient centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence based practice, quality improvement, safety, and informatics. These competencies are not yet mandated, but there is a national awareness of the need and a move to integrate them. CSU has partnered with the Medical University of South Carolina Hospital as its practice partner for the pilot project.
