from the president

Dear Friends, This fall has been an amazing time at Charleston Southern. We have been blessed by a significant donation from Shirley and Floyd Whitfield to name the Whitfield Center for Christian Leadership. The dedication day for this beautiful building was a wonderful time with old friends and new under a brilliant blue sky. We also completed expansions to the Hunter Reception Center and Derry Patterson Wingo Hall, home of the College of Nursing and Allied Health. The expansion of the Hunter Center enabled us to relocate several offices, including student accounts and the registrarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Centralizing the admissions, financial aid, student accounts and registrar in one building has greatly increased the level of service we are able to provide incoming as well as current students. The expansion of the nursing building will accommodate the growth of our College of Nursing and Allied Health. The increased lab, classroom and faculty offices will provide the required space to expand the program, add faculty and enhance our current skills labs. We will be sharing more about the exciting programs in these new buildings in the months to come. Inside this magazine you will find stories about the work our students are doing on the mission field and in the classroom. Our student-athletes are making great strides, and our menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team has been picked to finish first in the Big South by USA Today. In September, Charleston Southern joined with six other universities to form the Forensics Consortium, which will enhance our criminal justice program and will bring national recognition to our university and faculty. Highlighted in the center of the magazine is our annual list of donors. We are indebted to our alumni, members of our boards and our donors for the contribution you make to provide a Christian education for our students. We are grateful for the continued prayers and support of our alumni and friends. As we approach this special time of year, we give thanks for you.

Sincerely,

Jairy C. Hunter, Jr.

President

very once in a while I catch a whiff and it takes me back; like diesel, donkeys and, believe it or not, body odor,” she said. “It just hits you as soon as you step off the plane.” Maddy was part of a team that included Charleston Southern University students, alumni, Board of Visitors, members of Summit Church and GoDesign, a Savannah-based architectural nonprofit, who traveled to Africa last summer to build a school. The vision became a reality in the spring of 2012 when Scott Jackson, cofounder and president of GoDesign, connected with Charleston architect Kevin Chafin. While both had studied architecture at Savannah Art and Design, they had never met. After graduating, Jackson began GoDesign, and Chafin, a member of CSU’s Board of Trustees and Board of Visitors and an elder at Summit Church, moved to Charleston and is currently the principal architect at CEMS Engineering I Architecture. Despite taking different paths, both had a passion to serve God through architecture. “Architecture is the tool we’re using to get into the community, build relationships, and, hopefully, have an opportunity to share the gospel,” said Scott. “That is the heart of why we’re there.”

Northern Ethiopia is starved for education. According to Scott, a mere 10 percent of the children have an opportunity to attend school. GoDesign serves the community and the local economy throughout the process, using native tools, indigenous building techniques and materials from the local market to develop architectural solutions while teaching locals building techniques. “Ethiopia has been very innovative in a lot of ways, using what they have … but they don’t have a lot,” said Scott. “There are not a lot of people who are educated in the design aspect of architecture. So when you get out to these villages you see a lot of poor people doing the best they can with what they have.”

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. – Hebrews 11:1

SENSORY OVERLOAD Ethiopia sometimes offends the senses. Maddy said, “The first time I stepped out of the airport it was overwhelming to have people come up to you and beg. There’s just so much need.” As the sports utility vehicle carrying the team rolled through Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, traffic bottlenecked, bringing the SUV to a standstill. Jalin Johnson, a CSU junior, watched through the rain as homeless Ethiopians rushed into the street and straight at their vehicle. Johnson can still hear the sound of fists thumping on the window; their jumbled voices begging for food. Mallory Davis ’12 was sitting next to Johnson. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. “Addis was a whole new experience,” she said. “There were a lot of markets, a lot of trash and homeless people everywhere.” Almost everywhere they looked there was heartbreak. They heard the sound of desperation in the voices of Ethiopians. The smell of poverty filled the air. As Maddy walked the streets of Addis, people stopped and stared. Cripples and beggars approached her looking for the tiniest sliver of hope. She watched outcasts walk past the Orthodox Church, ashamed, because they are told they are not allowed in the church because they are unclean. “There’s just so much desolation and people look to you, and see you, and they’re drawn to you,” she said. “Some people see you and it gives them hope, which

makes you feel hopeful because you’re actually bringing hope into an area of hopelessness.” John Piper wrote, “Christian hope is when God has promised that something is going to happen and you put your trust in that promise; it’s a confidence that something will come to pass because God has promised it will come to pass.” Timothy Dobner ’13 had seen pictures of Ethiopia and read about poverty. The team of Summit Church missionaries studied the Bible, preparing for the trip. But it wasn’t until he was in Ethiopia that he got a taste of the Holy Spirit moving. “There’s something about going to a place as part of a church body on mission – a place as desperate as Ethiopia – where you become dependent on the Lord,” he said. “You feel Him near to you. You become unified. Satan has no stronghold. God was in our midst.” Bringing hope to a broken world can be overwhelming; it’s a weight that’s hard to describe and too large to define. Instead, Maddy read her Bible and prayed. She placed the weight of hope in the hands of God and waited. ‘WE WERE LOVE TO HIM’ Team Ethiopia made three trips to Africa between late 2012 and early 2013 – a vision trip, construction kickoff and the build. As the team pulled away from the village on their first trip, Maddy saw a boy, naked, running toward them.

“At first we were scared,” she said. “We saw this random person running to us as we drove away, leaving town. I began praying, ‘God, I want to reach out to this child. Please let me see him the next time we go.’” When the team returned to the village last December Maddy went looking for the boy. She learned his name is Doubino, a special needs child who had been cast out of society by the people in the village. The boy grew up not being accepted by his own family; an outcast in his own home. His mother would tie him up at night to keep him restrained. The family kicked him out of the home. Doubino lives on the street where life becomes more challenging. Maddy said he runs around, most often naked, and scavenges for whatever food he can find. Doubino looks different than other Ethiopians; his dark complexion comes from long days in the sun. His feet are like leather because he has no shoes. Because of his mental handicaps, he behaves differently too, making him a victim of cruel behavior. Maddy and Doubino met and became friends. “He spent the whole time with us taking as many hugs as he possibly could from us because he hadn’t experienced hugs in the past,” remembers Maddy. “The people we are working with are some of the most unloved people of Ethiopia. To see Doubino like that, who is considered even lower, to be so totally unlovable, God has given me the opportunity and used me and my friends. We were love to him.” On the third trip, she asked about Doubino and what had become of him. The next morning the group set out to find him. They found Doubino, but little had changed. He was being beaten with a stick by locals. “I immediately jumped out of the car and stopped it,” said Jackson. “I just held his face in my hands and I just looked at him. That’s all he needed. Everything relaxed in him. That moment was God-like for me.” Jackson explained the experience reminded her of how God looks at his children and says, “It’s OK. I’m here. You don’t have to fight anymore.” “By loving Doubino the way we did, by the end of our trip the other children began showing love to Doubino,” she said. “In a place that was so dark, even just the little bit of light we brought reflected God’s love. Seeing God’s grace and mercy in a way I’ve never see it before. It’s really a beautiful thing when you think about it.”

Charleston Southern University MALLORY AND MYRO Mallory Davis feared going to Ethiopia. She didn’t fear typical things like crime or cultural barriers. Her greatest fear came from within. Her fear was personal. “I tend to be timid and shy,” she said. “I was scared that it would hold me back from really connecting with these people, really giving myself to these people, the way I know God wanted me to. I wanted to go over there and I wanted to be bold for God and I wanted to love on these people.” In the days and weeks before the trip to Ethiopia Davis prayed – for boldness. She asked God to change her heart. The 20 days she spent in Africa changed her for a lifetime. “Then I get over there and there’s no fear, there’s no shyness, and I know that has to be God, because in normal circumstances that is not me,” said Davis, who earned her bachelor of science in business administration degree in 2012. “He showed up in ways I never thought he would. That’s the closest I’ve ever felt to God.” Davis spent most of her time with Ethiopian women and children. That’s where she met Myro, a young Ethiopian girl. The two bonded and occasionally spoke through a translator. Myro kept pulling at Mallory’s bracelet. Then, one day, Mallory took off the bracelet and put it on Myro. “Did you give me this bracelet so that I will remember you?” Myro asked through a translator. On leaving day, Mallory was packed and was sitting in the car waiting to leave. She heard a tap on the window. She looked up and it was Myro. The young Ethiopian girl mouthed the words “I Love You” as she blew Mallory a kiss. Months have come and gone since the trip, but the memories are never far from Davis’ mind. She still looks over the photos of the women and children she met in Ethiopia and prays for each of them, including her friend Myro. “People ask me these questions all the time like, ‘It was great to go there and help, but doesn’t it feel good to be home?’” she said. “Although I feel like we did something over there, what they did for me, showing me unconditional love, strength, friendship, the simplicity of life … I never thought I would have taken so much from them. These are things I will never forget.”

Riley Todd

THE POWER OF PRAYER Riley Todd, a CSU sophomore majoring in Christian Studies, knows all about being bold – B – O – L – D – in all caps. Riley made the most of her 10-day journey in Ethiopia. On the first day in Ethiopia she met Hamat, a young man suffering from a malaria outbreak. Riley and the team nursed and prayed over Hamat for a short time before the team was ready to leave the village. The sight of the young man, cold and shivering, weak and disoriented, broke Riley’s heart. “It’s not like America where

you can go get a shot and feel better,” said Riley. “If you have malaria you are most likely going to die.” As she sat waiting for the SUV to pull away, she looked out the window, avoiding the others. She didn’t want them to see her cry. Worried Hamat’s illness would turn fatal, Riley prayed the Hannah prayer, asking God to restore his health.

Of the Hannah prayer in 1 Samuel 1:9-18, Matthew Henry wrote, “God gives us leave, in prayer, not only to ask good things in general, but to mention that special good thing we most need and desire. She spoke softly, so none could hear her. Hereby she testified her belief of God’s knowledge of the heart and its desires … Prayer is heart’s ease to a gracious soul. Prayer will smooth the countenance; it should do so. None will long remain miserable, who use aright the privilege of going to the mercyseat of a reconciled God in Christ Jesus.” During her prayer Riley also made a bold promise: “If Hamat is cured when I see him tomorrow then there’s absolutely nothing that will stop me from talking to him about Jesus,” she prayed. Riley woke up the next morning and her stomach was in knots. “No one knew what was going on, but we all knew something was going to happen,” she remembers. They arrived at the village that morning. Riley had tunnel vision. Her eyes were searching for one thing, one person: Hamat. She finally spotted him standing beside a building. It was a peculiar sight since he didn’t often stand in this location, thought Riley.

“Immediately when I looked at him I knew he was not sick,” said Riley. The team got out of their vehicles, and Hamat approached them, smiling and shaking hands. When he spotted Riley, he hugged her. Through a translator, Riley asked Hamat if he was feeling better. “Perfect,” he replied. Hamat had gone to a local medical clinic and taken a blood test, and he told Riley he no longer had malaria. What happened was a miracle, one that could only come from the mighty power of God. The news created mixed emotions for Riley because now she had to keep her promise to God. She would need to find the right place and the right opportunity to share the gospel. “Why?” asked Scott Jackson. “Why would you do this right here, right now?” “Because I know where I’m going and I know where he’s going” said Riley. “I’d much rather go where I’m going, sooner, than to have him go where he’s going at all.” Riley admitted she was afraid, but “to be afraid is to doubt God,” she said. At that moment, her fears dissipated. Riley felt she was being led by the Holy Spirit. The team received permission to take Hamat out of the village to speak to him. The team shared the Gospel with him that evening.

BUILDING THE FUTURE Timothy Dobner ’13 was part of the team that built the school in Northern Ethiopia. He also had the opportunity to teach and share the Word of God. “We were in a place that we were dependent on the Lord,” said Dobner, a graduate of CSU’s School of Christian Studies and college minister of Summit Church. “We needed the Lord. If He didn’t show up we had nothing else.” The church group studied Acts before traveling to Ethiopia. “All through the book of Acts you read about all these signs and wonders that God is doing,” said Eli Byrd ’10. “Then you go there (Ethiopia) and see God moving mightily, and the thing that stuck with me was, I want that here.” The team returned home last spring, energized by the experience. Maddy still smells the diesel and longs to return to Ethiopia. Jalin hears the rain and thinks of those in need. Mallory looks through her photos and prays for Myro and countless other children. A Sunday morning prayer touches Riley and warms her heart, knowing Hamat has heard the story of Jesus Christ. Tim waits and hopes to taste the presence of the Holy Spirit again. There is a sense of hope in the air.

First Romein and Gilmore writing awards announced by Jan Joslin

wo annual writing awards have been established. Kristi Hixon, a senior from Blythewood majoring in English and psychology, received the first Romein Award for Excellence in Academic Writing. Rachelle Rea, a senior from Summerville majoring in communication, received the first Gilmore Award for Excellence in Creative Writing. “Kristi Hixon’s essay on Cormac McCarthy’s All the Pretty Horses was the unanimous choice of the judges for this year’s Romein Award for Writing,” said Dr. Keith Callis, dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. “The entire essay reveals the qualities of mind and expression we always look for, and we’re delighted to offer Miss Hixon this year’s award

for exemplary student scholarship.” Rea wrote a piece titled What the Medals Mean. “What stands out to me is Rachelle’s careful attention to language and sensory detail,” said Dr. Celeste McMaster, assistant professor of English. “On a topic that could easily become overly sentimental, her voice is authentic – lyrical, yet compact.” The late Dr. Tunis Romein was a longtime professor of English and was known for encouraging writing. The late Margaret Gilmore was one of the first employees hired by CSU. She was the director of public relations, archivist, advisor to The Sefer and a published poet.

Charleston

, South Carolina:

A city of beauty and learning

his past summer, as Charleston, South Carolina, officials celebrated the news of being named the No. 1 Destination in the World by a prestigious national magazine, Charleston Southern University associate professor Dr. Peter Beck was busy preparing a hometown celebration of his own, plotting sites – and sights – for his class CHS-418: Christian History. The senior-level course, being taught for the first time this semester, is described as a “study of the origin and development of the Baptist denomination in the world.” The syllabus includes a series of student tours at Lowcountry churches, including St. Philips Episcopal Church, First Baptist Church and French Protestant Church; located along Charleston’s historic Church Street in the heart of downtown Charleston, a vibrant source of church history. “The goal is to get Christian studies students out and understand that this isn’t an esoteric academic discussion,” said Beck. “There is a 300-year old church (First Baptist) in downtown Charleston that’s vibrant and engaged.” Beck said one of the first classes was a field trip style walk up-and-down Church Street. “I want them to start thinking about the question, ‘Why is there a Baptist church in the middle of – what was at the time – a loyalist, English colony?’ Why is there a Lutheran church? Why is there a Presbyterian church? I want the students to ask why?”

10 CSU magazine CSU v23 n3.indd 10

Beck wants his students to see, walk and touch church history. One activity is tombstone rubbing. The course also connects with modern church plants (including Journey Church) to show the connection between history and today’s denominational styles and formats. “How are they both Baptist?” asked Beck. “Today, Baptist life is changing so dramatically. I am bringing together diverse Baptist congregations to share what are the continuities.” Charleston is more than just the home of Charleston Southern, one of America’s Best Christian Colleges. The city’s rich church history and indelible value provides the perfect backdrop for hands-on learning. Beck has seized the opportunity this fall to create the university’s first City as Text™ course. NO PLACE LIKE CHARLESTON “Could I do this class in my hometown of Cincinnati?” said Beck. “No. We have the oldest church in the South. We have the resources – living resources – to stage a great learning experience. We can do stuff here that we can’t do other places.” Charleston is known for its rich history. In fact, visitors come to the Lowcountry for its distinct history and culture, a location like none other in the world. “There are buildings down there from the 1600s,” said Beck. “Charleston has the oldest Baptist church in the South – students will get to see these places.

“Much of the ‘oldness’ is lost,” he added. “There’s a church out on John’s Island that George Whitfield preached at and the original pulpit is still there. There’s unique history. To be able to take a 20-year-old student and say, ‘Stand in this pulpit. The most famous preacher of the 18th century once stood here.’ Imagine what that will be like.” CITY AS TEXT When the concept was first presented to Beck he had a lot of questions. The educational format – City as Text™ – was originated by The Honors Semesters Committee of The National Collegiate Honors Council with the goal of providing students with an opportunity for “thoughtful exploration” of local, historic sites to “formulate an understanding of places and issues.” Beck is excited by the potential impact the course, and the city, will have on the learning experience. The opportunity reminds him of a personal photo he has; an image of an AfricanAmerican student standing in the pulpit at First Baptist Church in downtown Charleston. He pauses and considers the significance of the photo. “When you think of the history … that is a great concept,” he said. Beck also stressed the importance of this course, one that allows students to see, touch and feel history. He said understanding the theological and physical history in this context is a valuable lesson for students who hope to one day work in the church.

CSU Herbarium registered with prestigious New York Botanical Garden By Jan Joslin

espite having 1,000 samples thus far instead of the usual 5,000, the Charleston Southern Herbarium was accepted for registry with the New York Botanical Garden – one of the world’s most prestigious.

Dr. Melinda Walker, chair of the biology department, said the herbarium was accepted at just 1,000 samples because of the quality of samples, speed with which the samples were selected and the historical significance of the

herbarium. “Consider how many, many institutions there are in the world that have a botany component. Only 3,400 herbariums exist worldwide – we are one of them,” said Walker. The CSU Herbarium has a goal of collecting and documenting all plant species in this specific place in South Carolina. “CSU is the site of a historical plantation, and we are surrounded by plantations from the founding of our country. Not many universities have such a richly historical environment from which to benefit,” said Walker. “Keeping up with, and documenting, plant specimens over time means that in the future, studies can be made to see if there are changes in the local flora, negatively or positively. Comparisons can be made to similar areas in other places of the world and questions asked as to why this area is or is not like that area. “There are numerous invasive, introduced species on campus and in the Charleston area, so this herbarium can help determine if new ones are coming in, if there are plants here now that disappear in the future or are in the process of disappearing from the local environment, etc. This herbarium will provide concrete data for these and other studies,” said Walker. Kevin Jones, biology instructor, is the curator of the CSU Herbarium. Jones uses the herbarium extensively in the Plant Taxonomy class. “With Kevin’s research students it has formed the basis of all the projects done since the summer of 2012. Actually, if it were not for the work of students involved, the herbarium would not exist,” said Walker. The CSU Herbarium is located in Jones’s office in the Science Building, which is specifically designed to hold the herbarium in a safe location that also provides enough room for those interested to be able to view the specimens.

Education Students Selected for Exclusive Retreat By Kristen Hixon

his past spring, elementary education majors Lauren Davis, sophomore, and Katrina Shumpert, junior, were selected to participate in the pilot of a weekend retreat program aimed at rejuvenating teachers and providing them with the tools to express their commitment to students. The Courage to Teach Program, based on Dr. Parker Palmer’s The Courage to Teach, is part of a larger initiative called Courage in Schools, which seeks to increase community among faculty and between faculty and students while encouraging deeper understanding of a subject area. Marsha Humphreys, Teaching Fellows campus director, said, “Successful teachers are those who understand who they are and why they chose to be educators.” From the 175 S.C. Teaching Fellows, the Courage to Teach retreat selected 15 students. “The program gave me a confidence about how I want to teach,” said Davis. “This is because they caused me to be more independent in the sense that my plans to teach are mine, and I shouldn’t let anyone change the way I want my classroom to be unless it’s for the better,” said Davis. Davis and Shumpert agreed that the retreat allowed them to focus more completely on themselves as teachers than they have done in class alone, as well as to learn how to counter burnout from dealing with the everyday workings of a classroom. Shumpert stated, “Being a teacher is not just about giving students information, but being a role model and someone that these students can look up to. This program reinforced my understanding of teaching in a way to show my true self to my students. For me, teaching is not just a career, but a calling.” Dr. Kari Siko, former interim dean of the School of Education, said that Davis and Shumpert returned from the retreat with a readiness to lead the other Teaching Fellows. Davis and Shumpert will attend another installment of the program this fall.

Being named a Teaching Fellow is an honor awarded to 175 high school seniors (from a pool of 900 to 950 applicants) in the state who plan to teach in South Carolina. CSU is one of 11 S.C. schools that is home to a Teaching Fellows program intended to recruit and train quality educators.

Being a teacher is not just about giving students information, but being a role model and someone that these students can look up to.

Generous Donation Inspires Naming of Building

he new Whitfield Center for Christian Leadership was officially dedicated Sept. 11. Floyd and Shirley Whitfield, property developers in the Lowcountry and longtime Charleston Southern benefactors, were honored for their approximately $3 million gift to the University. The Whitfield Center for Christian Leadership is the cornerstone project of the University’s $40 million Transform Campaign. In addition to classroom and conference spaces, the 26,500-square-foot facility houses three institutes: Biblical Worldview Institute, Faith Integration Institute and the Marketplace Institute. The Whitfield Center for Christian Leadership is a resource for faith integration, community outreach and leadership development. Floyd Whitfield said, “We count it a blessing to be able to give to CSU; we appreciate the opportunity to do it.” Mr. Whitfield has served numerous terms on the CSU Board of Trustees, is a member of the Legacy Society, and the funds the couple provided for the Whitfield Endowed Scholarship Fund provide scholarships for 50 students per year. The University awarded Mr. Whitfield an honorary doctor of humanities degree in 1991. “I am very seldom at a loss for words, but this morning I’ve lost my words,” said Shirley Whitfield. “We’ve seen this University grow step by step. God is good all the time, and he

has blessed this University with wonderful staff and people.” Mrs. Whitfield has been active on the CSU Women’s Council and has served as president of the group. The University awarded her the Distinguished Service Award in 2009 for outstanding Christian leadership and service to the community and to the University. Doug Hunter, executive director of the Whitfield Center for Christian Leadership, said, “The Whitfield Center for Christian Leadership is a resource encouraging and equipping faculty and staff so they can encourage and equip students to walk off this campus knowing what they believe, living what they know and taking what they know and using it where God places them.” Mr. Hunter envisions the facility impacting people of all walks of life. He quoted author and founder of Blackaby Ministries International, Henry Blackaby, as saying, “I see the greatest evidence of revival in Christian CEOs in the marketplace of America.” Joy Currence, a junior student ministry major from Rock Hill, addressed the donors, “I honestly and truly believe that this is CSU’s season, and with the new Whitfield Center for Christian Leadership, this season will be the beginning of new experiences for Christian leadership around the world. But remember, it all happened with the planting of a seed. And that seed was you.”

“This is a project we have prayed for and worked for a long time. This is one of the most significant events in the life of the school and will give us many more opportunities to share the gospel,” said President Jairy C. Hunter, Jr. The Whitfield Center for Christian Leadership is a state-of-the-art training facility where individuals will be able to fully develop their understanding and practice of a Christian worldview. As the Research Center, located within the building, is established, it will provide a library of Christian worldview materials and works of faith integration in the various disciplines. The Whitfield Stadium Center is also among the Whitfield’s significant gifts to the university. The four-story stadium center opened in 2000 and is home of the CSU Buccaneer football, track and field programs.

Photos L-R, clockwise: Dr. Hal Adams ’69 and his wife, Cora, attended the dedication. Dr. Adams spoke on behalf of the alumni and said, “It is my hope and prayer that those who pass through this building become professionals at putting people ahead of themselves.” The Whitfields speak at the formal dedication of the Whitfield Center for Christian Leadership. Floyd and Shirley Whitfield and Dr. Jairy Hunter cut the ribbon on the new building. All photos by Rhett Marley

Men’s Has Eyes on

By Kevin O’Rourke

There is a buzz on campus about Charleston Southern basketball, and for good reason. The Bucs return three starters from last year’s team that won the Big South regular season championship and advanced to the NIT and are being touted by many as the conference favorite to punch a ticket to the NCAA Tournament in 2014. USA Today Sports’ Scott Gleeson is one of those prognosticators and profiled head coach Barclay Radebaugh’s Bucs in the publication’s Aug. 8 edition.

leeson slotted CSU at number 67 in his projection of the 68 teams to make March Madness and was not shy in his praise of the Bucs’ junior backcourt of Saah Nimley and Arlon Harper. “Radebaugh returns arguably the best backcourt in midmajor basketball, if not in the country,” Gleeson wrote of the former AAU teammates who have steered CSU to 38 wins in their first two seasons on campus. Nimley finished as the runner-up in Big South Player of the Year voting last year, while Harper earned a spot on the all-conference second team. Under the direction of Radebaugh, the duo of Nimley and Harper has helped make Charleston Southern one of the most productive – and most entertaining – offenses in the country. CSU finished second in the nation in three-point field goals per game last year and ranked 39th in scoring offense. Nimley and Harper made their mark as freshmen in 201112, leading the Bucs to their first winning season in 16 years while orchestrating a fast-paced offense that finished the year 22nd in scoring. CSU acclimated well to the role of favorite in 2012-13, going 19-13 and 12-4 in Big South play to capture the inaugural Big South South Division championship. The Bucs highlighted their memorable season with an eightgame winning streak that ranked as the third longest in program history and included a 7-0 start to Big South play. The Bucs capped the regular season with one of their best performances of the year in a 75-64 win over Coastal Carolina that clinched the Big South title. CSU drained 15 threes to end a seven-game losing streak to the rival Chanticleers and enjoyed a postgame celebration with

a raucous Buc Dome crowd on Mathiang Muo and Jeremy Sexton’s senior day. Replacing Muo and Sexton will be a challenge for Radebaugh and company in 2013-14, but as Gleeson pointed out in USA Today, CSU’s supporting cast appears ready to help Nimley and Harper lead the Bucs back to the top of the Big South. Among the leaders of that supporting cast is junior forward Paul Gombwer, who paced the Bucs with 6.3 rebounds a night last season and also improved his outside shot to shoot better than 41 percent from three-point range. Rebounding remained Gombwer’s forte, though, as he finished 8th in the Big South with 81 offensive rebounds. Despite being undersized, CSU showcased tenacity on the glass to finish second in the Big South and 57th nationally with a +4.0 rebounding margin. While it was the 5-8 Nimley who finished as the Bucs’ second leading rebounder, junior Cedrick Bowen and senior Allie Fullah gave Gombwer support inside. Bowen displayed marked improvement in averaging 7.5 points and four rebounds, while Fullah gave the Bucs a presence in the paint, finishing third in the Big South with 43 blocks. “You’d think a team that only starts one true big man and a 5-8 floor general would struggle at rebounding,” Gleeson wrote in USA Today. “That’s not the case here. The Buccaneers ranked 11th in the nation in rebounding with a little more than 39 boards a night. Sure, much of the rebounding wins came in the Big South, but it’s a key factor in why this team has the wherewithal to make some noise in the NCAA tournament.” Another key factor in CSU’s ability to live up to expectations in 2013-

14 will be the contributions of newcomers. Leading that group is junior Will Saunders, a transfer from the College of Central Florida. Saunders can stretch the floor with his outside shooting ability at 6-7, as he recorded a 40.8 percent mark from three-point range last season. A teammate of Fullah’s during the 2011-12 season, Saunders helped lead College of Central Florida to the NJCAA Division I National Championship last year. Freshman Tre Smith, meanwhile, arrives at Charleston Southern as the most heralded of the Bucs’ first-year players. Smith earned South Carolina 4A Player of the Year honors last season at Hillcrest High School in Simpsonville. He averaged 25 points, seven rebounds and four assists a night in leading Hillcrest to a 23-5 record and a spot in the SCHSL 4A Upper State Championship Game. Forwards Bakari Copeland and Ty’Quan Biting also enjoyed excellent high school careers and will compete for minutes on a deep and talented Bucs’ roster. Charleston Southern puts that talent on display starting Nov. 8 when it opens the season against Johnson University in an 8 p.m. tipoff at the Buc Dome. The Bucs’ home schedule also features contests against Colonial Athletic Association members UNC Wilmington and Delaware. Away from home, CSU will once again test itself against elite competition, as it makes trips to New Mexico, Baylor, Alabama and Florida State. The out-of-conference schedule will prepare CSU for the Big South slate, as the team opens its regular season title defense against Coastal Carolina Jan. 8 at the Buc Dome. Radebaugh will look to continue the upward trajectory he has led the program on during his tenure and is interested to see if the Bucs can take it to another level in 2013-14. “We’ve won 19 games for back-to-back seasons,” Radebaugh told Gleeson and USA Today. “I think we’ve been good. But how do you become great? It comes down to physical and mental toughness. It’s not related to size. Wichita State, that’s a physically and mentally tough team. That’s the next step for us.”

Forensic and Crime Scene Investigation Consortium to support national forensic science community

The idea behind this collaboration was first conceived in August 2009 with the U.S. Department of Justice report to Congress, in which a committee was tasked to identify the needs of the forensic science community. Among the committee’s findings, highlighted in a document titled “Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward,” was a • National Center for Biomedical Research and Training, Stephenson National Center surprisingly consistent message: “The forensic science system, encompassing for Security Research and Training, Louisiana both research and practice, has serious prob State University, Baton Rouge, La. lems that can only be addressed by a national • W.

The enhancement of current degree programs will provide a vibrant pool of degreed workforce applicants for the laboratories in addition to enhanced technologies and evaluative processes as a result of the research being conducted. Charleston Southern University was selected for its strength in documentation of the crime scene through various logs, photographs, cataloging of evidence and mapping utilizing various technologies. Dr. Jackie Fish, vice embers from eight national institutions signed the official charter for the Forensic and Crime Scene Investigation Consortium Sept. 11 in Dallas, Texas. Present at the signing were representatives from the original FCSIC member institutions:

president for academic affairs and former chair of the criminal justice department, has written three books sharing her expertise in crime scene documentation. “The Consortium will offer a continuing education aspect and training for people who are in the field,” said Fish. “It will enhance the educational aspect and enhance professionalism of law enforcement. There is not enough research being conducted in this field.” Dr. Marc Embler, chair of the department of criminal justice, said the Consortium is a good fit for CSU. “Our students are interested in forensics. Our criminal justice graduate and undergraduate programs are practitioner oriented,” he said. Charleston Southern University offers a bachelor of science in criminal justice and a master of science in criminal justice. Consortium members were selected for their broad array of competencies, extensive infrastructure and subject matter expertise, making the consortium a valuable national resource for forensic and crime scene investigation training. Current areas of focus among the FCSIC include crime scene investigations in hazardous environments, medical investigation, facial reconstruction, forensic art, digital forensics, property and evidence management, latent print technologies, crime scene documentation, courtroom testimony, underwater forensics, trace evidence, curriculum development and instructor training. The training, education and research the FCSIC has and is developing and delivering is important and unique in the criminal justice system because state and local agencies perform the majority of all forensic and crime scene investigations conducted in the U.S., yet there is a dire need for: mandatory training requirements; a career-spanning, standards-based training curriculum; a priority research environment, and a fully integrated U.S. forensic and crime scene investigations system.
