Emory & Henry College Executive Council

LETTER from the Alumni Board President Dear Fellow Alumni: It’s never too late!

In December, there were three alumni events that, together, saw over 160 alumni gathered. Friends got together at Stoney River Grill in Nashville and Club LeConte in Knoxville to spend time with E&H President Jake Schrum, and they got up early in Richmond for a private tour of the Virginia Holocaust Museum with former E&H President Charles Sydnor. At all these events there were plenty of familiar faces, but on each occasion there were people who were attending their first E&H event.

I mention this because the E&H Alumni Association hopes that everyone will feel welcomed back to campus or a regional event ­— no matter how many years you’ve been away. We’re grateful for those who are able to attend tailgates and reunions and lectures with regularity; but we’re excited when we get to see some of the faces we’ve been missing for too long.

President Jake B. Schrum Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty David Haney Vice President for Business and Finance Rick Gaumer Vice President for Enrollment Management Dave Voskuil Vice President for Institutional Advancement Joseph P. Taylor Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students Pamela L. Gourley

At alumni.ehc.edu you can find a list of Upcoming Events, and if you subscribe to the E&H Alumni E-News we’ll send you reminders and updates as new plans are made (drop us a line at alumni@ehc.edu). And whether we’re meeting in Richmond or Nashville or Wiley Hall, you will always be a welcome sight.

Director of Public Relations Dirk S. Moore

If you’re looking for an easy way to connect or reconnect, look for an Emory & Henry in the City event near you. This happy hour event is held in a variety of locations in March, and is a great way to meet some of the alumni in your neighborhood.

Last year there were events all over Virginia and parts of Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Washington State and California. We’ll be publishing the 2016 list soon, and if you don’t see an event close to you, contact the alumni office about organizing one (alumni@ehc.edu).

General Counsel and Executive Assistant to the President Mark R. Graham ’85

So whether it has been a few weeks…or a few years…don’t wait another minute to find a date that works for you to reconnect with Emory & Henry College.

Sincerely, Allison Mays (’95) Congratulations to our E&H Alumni Board President, Allison Mays, the new Madison District representative on the Washington County (Virginia) Board of Supervisors.

E&H Ranked Among Top Virginia Liberal Arts Colleges

For the third consecutive year, Washington Monthly has ranked Emory & Henry College as the top liberal arts institution in Virginia and placed it among the top 50 liberal arts schools nationwide.

Emory & Henry’s placement on the 2015 list of the magazine’s top liberal arts colleges has improved from 45th last year to 37th this year. Emory & Henry has been among the top 50 institutions in the Washington Monthly rankings for the past seven years.

The ranking is significant as many education experts see the metrics used by Washington Monthly as a respected alternative to those used by U.S. News & World Report in rating schools. The Washington Monthly rankings seek to place a high priority on the contributions that students and their institutions make to society.

One measurement in these rankings considers the amount of community service hours performed by students, a category in which Emory & Henry placed third in the nation among liberal arts institutions. Another category measures the degree to which professors incorporate community service into the curriculum. In this category

among liberal arts colleges, Emory & Henry ranks first nationally.

Topping the list of best liberal arts colleges in the nation was Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. Other Virginia colleges to make the list of the top 100 were Washington & Lee University at 57 and the University of Richmond at 80.

Two colleges from Tennessee made the top 100 list, Rhodes College and Fisk College.

The Washington Monthly ranking is one of several accolades given to the institution in recognition of its academic excellence.

Emory & Henry is among a handful of institutions — and the only institution in Virginia — to receive the President’s Award for Community Service, which is given by the President of the United States in recognition of work done To see full list of winners to transform communities. w and read more, go to

Raptor Ranks E&H 13th

A popular college matching platform, College Raptor, has named Emory & Henry College as one of the 25 Best Rural Colleges in the nation. Emory & Henry ranked 13th in the category devoted to colleges that are outside city limits yet provide quality education that takes advantage of learning in a serene environment where students are the chief focus.

This distinction comes as part of College Raptor’s 2016 college rankings, which look at colleges nationally, as well as regionally, and by campus setting and enrollment size.

The rankings were determined by a combination of factors, including graduation rates, campus diversity, endowment per student, and other data as reported via the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) for the most recently available enrollment year. w EMORY & HENRY MAGAZINE / FALL 2015 / 5

A Grand Building... A Grand Strategy for the Arts

by Carolyn Wilson

When the doors of the Woodrow W. McGlothlin Center for the Arts opened in September, theatre student Osama Ashour couldn’t help but summon memories of the celebratory day he stood on Emory soil as an April breeze welcomed a new season and a vision of greater things to come to campus.

That was two years ago when the Emory & Henry senior participated in the groundbreaking ceremony for a $22 million visual and performing arts center, a state-ofthe-art facility that represents the culmination of years of planning and dreams — a facility that promises to enhance the college’s reputation as a regional leader in the arts and arts education.

The 47,367-square-foot, three-story facility is being described as a transformational jewel for the campus and a resource for the entire region.

The enormous anticipation for the completion of the new center was reflected in the large crowd that attended the first event on the main stage of the Center. Liz Callaway, a Tony-nominated and Emmy Award-winning actress, singer and recording artist, inaugurated what is expected to be a venue known for meaningful and memorable artistic performances.

E&H president Jake B. Schrum said the Center will provide one of the most significant professional venues for arts expression in Southwest Virginia. “No doubt, it will be in high demand by those who attend college events and theatrical, musical and gallery shows. It will also be popular among those who intend to rent it for their artistic needs. It will make this region proud of what can be accomplished here.”

“The biggest message I have for the community is come and visit. This is meant to be a resource for the entire region,” said Lisa Campbell, executive director of the Center.

“Simply put, this Center is the most ambitious construction project in the long history of the College.

It provides the practice, preparation and performance venues for the arts, which now match the strength of these academic programs. It is a grand building that further encourages a grand strategy for the arts at Emory & Henry.” - President Schrum

From top: Guests in the lobby prior to the Liz Callaway performance; Lindsey Kincaid, marketing and arts coordinator for the center, placing a painting in the gallery work room; the new radio station studio; a student in the scene shop.

“This is an incredibly sophisticated facility. It’s not like constructing an academic or housing facility. It’s a very complex building,” Campbell said.

The arts center boasts a 461-seat proscenium theatre, a 100-seat black box theatre, a box office, administrative offices, an art gallery, faculty offices, production areas, and the college’s radio station, WEHC 90.7. The college has applied for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for the building, which would make it the latest of numerous E&H buildings to be rated highly for energy efficiency.

In the south lobby of the building is an indoor amphitheatre. “Most people think amphitheatres are outside, but this is a new concept that’s very popular in architecture right now,” Campbell said.

The Main Stage contains a control booth for sound, lights and visual elements. The space is designed for live theatre, music performances and dance. “The whole stage has sprung flooring that is excellent for theatre and especially for dance,” said Campbell. “Marley dance flooring can lay over it when we host Taylor 2 Dance Company spring semester. It’s all a temporary set-up that can be reconfigured, so it’s really multifunctional.”

For acoustical performances, curved, hard-surface shells are designed to reflect sound toward the audience. In addition, a removable orchestra shell has both movable towers and a ceiling that is lowered in with a fly system. The shells are designed to be rolled away on wheels or lifted into a fly space.

The main stage theatre also contains a digital projector and a large screen for lectures and other presentations. Nearby, a concert grand piano is stored in a humidity and temperaturecontrolled environment and rolled out when needed.

The black box theatre is an unadorned space for performances with variable needs and configurations, where the Theatre Department will present two shows in addition to the two Main Stage performances each school year.

The Department of Music will use the Main Stage for all concerts except when an organ is required, which means Christmas at Emory will continue to be performed in Memorial Chapel.

Back stage features a scene shop where students build scenery and props, a green room, a dressing room area that accommodates up to 12 people, a make-up area, lockers and full bathrooms. A costume shop features two full sets of washers and dryers, a large cutting area, six sewing machines — four household and two industrial.

A gallery work room will house the college’s permanent art collection. “This is unprecedented for us,” Campbell said.

“The room has complete temperature and humidity control, and a panel system allows us to hang and catalog artwork.”

The goal of gallery curator Dan Van Tassell is to hang more of the permanent collection on campus and to create more educational opportunities around the collections.

Campbell said the art gallery is close to the heart of many people in the college community because the floor was created from wood from a large, hundred-year-old beech tree that was removed to make way for the construction of the arts center. A master craftsperson from Maine, Libby Schrum, daughter of Jake and Jane Schrum, has created custom benches for the gallery from black walnut trees that also were removed from the construction site.

Enhancing the Quality of the Student Experience

Campbell said students — not necessarily arts majors — will be attracted to the McGlothlin Center for the Arts for its high-tech infrastructure as well as its open-door policy.

“We are employing fifteen students to work in the box office and art gallery; to assist with marketing; and to work back stage as stage hands, sound and visual operators and lighting operators,” she said. “They will work alongside the professional staff and assist in selling tickets, managing events, covering the art gallery, developing and distributing marketing materials, and covering all the technical needs for a wide variety of events.”

The north lobby, which faces the center of campus, features tables and cushioned chairs for student use.

Campbell said there are countless ways the new arts center will impact student learning at Emory & Henry.

“For the Department of Theatre, there will be increased possibilities to teach all forms of acting with the help of a diversity of spaces — in the round, a thrust stage and movement-oriented theatre. From a design perspective, our students will now be learning in a space with a full fly system, which will dramatically increase their knowledge of design. In addition, they will be working on equipment with digital lighting and sound systems and projections. This will greatly increase student skills in preparing them for their careers,” said Campbell.

“Our music students will not only see a huge increase in sound quality due to the outstanding elements of the orchestra shell and acoustic treatment built into the space, but they will be working on a stage that will greatly enhance their entire presentation skills as student musicians,” she said.

“Finally, our art students will have first-hand learning in the preservation and presentation of art exhibits in our new gallery work room.”

Shepherding a Project

Dr. Ed Damer was the natural choice to be the project shepherd for the McGlothlin Center for the Arts. Damer, who retired in 2012 as professor of philosophy, watched over the project from start to finish, ensuring that the building meets the needs of the people who will occupy it now and in the future.

The former professor who came to the E&H Philosophy Department in 1967, was the first chair of the new Division of Visual and Performing Arts at its inception in 1997, a position he held until his retirement last year. The first arts coordinator position was also created and filled by Anita Coulthard until her retirement in 2014.

The most recent design for the arts center began in 2008, when Damer accepted former President Rosalind Reichard’s request that he assume the shepherding role. Damer was praised throughout the project for his understanding of both technical and aesthetic matters and for his sensitivity to the needs of the end-users.

Scott Simmons of Craig Gaulden Davis, Inc., of Greenville, South Carolina, was hired to begin the planning process. The interior design was created by Craig Gaulden Davis with input from the building

Building on Generosity

The Woodrow W. McGlothlin Center for the Arts honors the memory of a 1937 Emory & Henry graduate and longtime, beloved benefactor of the college. The lead gifts for the McGlothlin Center for the Arts were provided through the personal generosity of McGlothlin and the McGlothlin Foundation.

Woodrow W. McGlothlin served Emory & Henry on the Board of Visitors for 30 years and as president of that board. He taught school and worked in social services before partnering to form what is now The United Company. His belief in the intrinsic value of rural communities and his deep philanthropic and personal commitment to the region and its people drove his generous support of the arts, education and youth programs in the region. w

In Their Own Words

First-year student Marissa Marcus, a theatre and pre-med major from Mooresville, N.C., had the privilege of being part of the first cast of Emory & Henry students who took the stage in November.

“Although there are many things I love about E&H, I have to admit that one of the primary reasons I enrolled was because I knew I would be among the first with the opportunity to utilize the McGlothlin Center for the Arts. As a theater major, this facility means the world to me.”

She added, “Upon seeing it for the first time, I was awestruck by the sheer grandeur of it all. The arts center serves as a beautiful venue for campus events, but more importantly, it serves as my hands-on classroom for all areas of theater.”

According to Ashour, the new arts center is important to the entire campus community. “For the first time we will have a facility that reflects our passion and talent. This new arts center will be a point of pride for all students and alumni of Emory & Henry.” w

The founding dean of the Emory & Henry School of Health Sciences, Dr. Lou Fincher, spoke of “new beginnings and old traditions” during convocation, which marked the beginning of the 2015-16 academic year.

Among those in the audience were many of the 32 students representing the inaugural class of the doctoral of physical therapy program at the School of Health Sciences.

These students as well as the more than 300 students coming as first-year undergraduate students to the College will have the opportunity to experience the magic of the institution, she said. “But to experience the magic, you must become actively engaged, forge new relationships and discover your passion.”

Convocation ceremonies included awards for members of the faculty and staff, including Dr. Tal Stanley (’83), the director of the Appalachian Center for Civic Engagement and the director of the academic program in civic engagement, who received the William Carrington Finch Award; Dr. Ron Diss, professor of education, who received the college travel grant; Dr. Christine Fleet, professor of biology, who was honored with the Exemplary Teaching Award given by the General Board of Higher Education Ministry of the United Methodist Church; and Dr. Teresa Keller, professor of mass communications, and Ronnie Woodward, member of the campus facilities staff, each of whom received the Earnest E. and Elizabeth C. Maiden Award. w

E&H Festival Celebrates Appalachian Theatre

The 34th annual Emory & Henry College Literary Festival, held in October was a celebration of Appalachian Theatre to commemorate the opening of The McGlothlin Center for the Arts.

The Festival included a reading by Robert Gipe, the director of the Appalachian Program at Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College, a musical drama by Higher Ground, a theatre group that presents musical dramas based on oral histories and community concerns, and a performance by Tennessee storyteller Hannah Harvey.

Also featured was the opening of the E&H Theatre Department’s fall play, “The Other Side of the Mountain,” under the direction of Dr. Kelly Bremner and written by Catherine Bush. w

“

This year’s Festival also showcases a new approach to engaging audiences at the event,” said Dr. Nicole Drewitz-Crockett, director of the festival and English professor. “In addition to providing readings by authors, we hope to engage other formats for presenting literature and involving the broader campus community. Such an approach brings to life the literature as well as the liberal arts setting in which we present it.

Authors Chart Evolution of Collards

Food is essential to Southern culture, and collard greens play a central role in the South's culinary traditions and have long been held dear in the food-loving Southern heart. In Collards: A Southern Tradition from Seed to Table, Edward H. Davis and John T. Morgan provide this emblematic and Ed Davis beloved vegetable a full-length survey.

The search for collards' home country leads the authors both to Europe and West Africa, then to the American back roads, from Arkansas

to Florida and from Virginia to Louisiana.

Food trends may come and go, but collards remain a tradition.

Richly illustrated in color, Collards demonstrates the abiding centrality of this green leafy vegetable to the foodways of the American South.

Morgan and Davis are professors of John Morgan geography at Emory & Henry. Davis is coauthor of The Virginia Creeper Trail Companion: Nature and History along Southwest Virginia's National Recreation Trail.

Morgan is author of The Log House in East Tennessee. w

Book Highlights Religious Convictions Against Racism

Born of Conviction: White Methodists and Mississippi’s Closed Society, a recently released book by Joseph T. Reiff, an Emory & Henry College professor of religion, highlights biblical teachings against racism and a group of ministers who bravely fought to convey those teachings to white congregations in Mississippi. It also offers a detailed portrait of both public and private expressions of the theology and ethics of white Mississippi Methodists in general.

Reiff, who is chair of the E&H Religion Department, served as a United Methodist pastor in the Mississippi Conference from 1980 to 1985. He grew up in Mississippi and graduated from Emory University’s Candler School of Theology. w

Renovations Begin for School of Health Sciences’ New Home Crews have begun work on a $13 million renovation of the former Smyth County Community Hospital building to house the Emory & Henry College School of Health Sciences on the Marion campus. This first phase of renovation, which is expected to be completed in July 2016, includes changes to the first two floors of the five-story building to accommodate the developing occupational therapy and physician assistant programs and provide additional space for the current physical therapy program. The building also will become the location for two community outreach programs: the Obesity Research Center and the Falls Prevention Center.

Recent Appointments Dr. John Jackson has been named founding chair and director of the Emory & Henry College’s developing Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) Program, which is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2016 (pending ACOTE and SACSCOC approval).

E&H student Adelaide Plemmons spent last summer working at the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. where she served in the flag office and wrote certificates for representatives and senators. These certificates were then attached to flags flown over the capitol and sent to the appropriate offices.

Plemmoms was given the opportunity to have a flag flown for the institution of her choice and decided to honor Emory & Henry. She says, "This school is a second home to me and has been a place of comfort the past two and half years. I felt honored to be able to give back in some small way." The flag was flown on July 4, 2015 and was presented to President Schrum on Veteran’s Day. w Adelaide Plemmons and President Schrum

Collier Leads Marching Band

“Every time I stand up there, I just can’t believe we did this! This is a once in a lifetime experience, and I just feel so fortunate to be one part of it.”

- Sean Collier

Sean Collier led the E&H Marching Band onto the field with high steps as drum major this fall. For the first time in nearly 60 years, the E&H Marching Band, under the direction of Dr. Matt Frederick, returned to the field with 50 musicians joined by a color guard.

Collier, a sophomore from Marion, Va., says many of the members questioned how well a new marching band would be received. He was astounded at the response.“Stepping onto the field for the first time and hearing the crowd roar, I was taken aback by the enthusiasm of our fans,” Collier said.

Collier joins the group of music majors and non-music majors to form the first marching band in the ODAC. This means practicing nearly every day, preparing for performances during pregame and halftime shows at home football games.

This past spring, Collier participated in a conducting class taught by E&H faculty member and choral director Dr. Allyss Haecker. Conducting provided Collier with a different view of music. Instead of making the music personally, he was able to control and shape the overall sound and experience.

And the class prepared him for the position of drum major, the highest student leader position in the band. Essentially, once the performance starts the band is his.

“Sean is a wonderful student who is passionate about music and passionate for this college,” said Frederick. “Being the drum major is a perfect pairing of those two elements, and it has been very rewarding to watch him take charge of the band. The students respect him and his leadership is quiet, but strong and consistent.

With his unique view from the platform along the home field sidelines, Collier smiles when he thinks about how far they have come.

“I just can’t believe we did this! This is a once in a lifetime experience, and I feel so fortunate to be one part of it,” said Collier.

Collier is double majoring in mathematics and music and plans a career in acoustic engineering. “Since Sean is a sophomore, I am very excited to see how his leadership grows even stronger in the future,” added Frederick.

With Frederick’s goal of nearly doubling the size of the band, Collier anticipates more flexibility in the sound and movements on the field.

One thing you can count on­— Sean Collier will be standing tall above the rest with a smile on his face about the experience he helped create. w

John Lang, professor emeritus of English at Emory & Henry College, was honored this year with the prestigious Lee Smith Award during the Lincoln Memorial University’s Mountain Heritage Literary Festival.

Lang, who coordinated the Emory & Henry College Literary Festival for 25 years, a celebration of writers with strong ties to the Appalachian region, also edited The Iron Mountain Review, which publishes the proceedings of each festival.

Lang is the author of three books on Appalachian literature, including studies of the work of Ron Rash and Fred Chappell.

Lang retired from Emory & Henry after teaching 29 years.

His career was highlighted by a long list of teaching awards and fellowships.

For 15 years, Lang also coordinated the Leidig Lectureship in Poetry, a two-day event during the spring semester, which has featured such authors from beyond the South as U.S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser, Naomi Shihab Nye, Linda Pastan, Andrew Hudgins, Mark Doty, Ellen Bryant Voigt and Martin Espada. w EMORY & HENRY MAGAZINE / FALL 2015 / 13

“Students are often unfamiliar with the importance of advocacy and how it serves the functions of democracy. This class helps give students an introduction to lobbying and how to use it in creating change.” ­ —Beau Blevins

ADVOC 14 14 /FALL /FALL 2015 2015 // EMORY EMORY && HENRY HENRY MAGAZINE MAGAZINE

Savanna Summers wasn’t sure how to turn her passion into action until taking a class in advocacy and lobbying.

“I would like to make contraception more widely available to the general public by lessening the cost, and I want to tie this subject to sex education in schools and to discussions about abortion,” said the E&H junior majoring in political science and psychology.

Summers hopes to achieve her goal with help from lessons she is learning in an “Advocacy, Lobbying and Politics” class taught by an E&H graduate who works in the lobbying field, Beau Blevins (’05).

As part of the class, Summers is writing a multi-page proposal that makes the case for her cause and describes strategies for achieving her objectives. She also will describe how she will turn those strategies into public policy through the process of lobbying to lawmakers, which she will have the chance to do in January.

“I’ve never written such a proposal before, so this should be highly helpful,” Summers said. “My arguments will have to be sound and numerous. I’m looking forward to the finished product.”

Such a plan is essential to the lobbyist, Blevins said. To advocate well to policy makers, the lobbyist must have a strong communications plan that helps the legislator not only understand the issue, but also to push forward that message to other policy makers and to the public.

Blevins serves as the director of intergovernmental affairs for the Virginia Association of Counties. The Association advocates for policy that serves the interests

ACY in Action

of Virginia counties, which often includes issues related to economic and work force development.

These are important issues, Blevins believes. They help reinforce the importance of lobbying, which sometimes gets a bad rap in a political environment where “special interests” are often derided.

“Students are often unfamiliar with the importance of advocacy and how it serves the functions of democracy,” Blevins said. “This class helps give students an introduction to lobbying and how to use it in creating change.”

Blevins spent every night for a week during the fall semester teaching a classroom seminar to 12 students.

After the seminar portion of the class, Blevins, while working in Richmond, led a series of conference call classes involving his students and Dr. Joe Lane, E&H political science professor, back at Emory. The course will conclude with a second set of condensed meetings in Richmond in January, when students will have the opportunity to meet with lawmakers to discuss their issues and to advocate for policy change.

“Students are writing research essays that can actually be used to make changes in the world,” Lane said.

“They get to practice what they have studied, serving as lobbyists or policy advocates in the legislature.”

The class is not only a strong example of the experiential learning that is familiar to E&H students, it also demonstrates how the College increasingly connects alumni and their careers with the goals of students.

“Beau is just a great teacher,” Lane said. “He is not doing this for the pay, the recognition or the line on his resume; he is teaching our students because he remembers what it was like to be one of these students and because he wants to help them develop careers of value and purpose.”

Summers said she had not met a lobbyist until she met Blevins. “After watching political shows like ‘House of Cards,’ the notion of ‘lobbyist’ directed me away from that field. However, after hearing Mr. Blevins speak so highly of his job, I understand lobbyists’ objectives now.

Students explore the Bartlett-Crowe Field Station.

Environmental Protection Action Plan

President Jake Schrum recently signed The Talloires Declaration, committing the college to an environmental protection action plan. He was joined by numerous alumni of the College’s Environmental Studies Program attending a reunion at the E&H Bartlett-Crowe Field Station.

Under the agreement, Emory & Henry joins other college and university leaders from across the country in declaring their support for a sustainable environmental future. Institutions that sign the agreement declaration agree to increase awareness of environmentally sustainable development, create an institutional culture of sustainability, and educate for an environmentally responsible citizenship.

The agreement also calls upon institutions to practice institutional ecology, involve all stakeholders in the institution in the effort, and establish partnerships with primary and secondary schools to help develop the capacity for interdisciplinary teaching about environmental challenges.

Climate Commitment

President Schrum also recently joined other college and university presidents and chancellors in signing an agreement to strengthen their commitment to battling climate change.

Under the agreement, colleges and universities will strive not only for carbon neutrality on their campuses, the focus of the first such Climate Commitment signed earlier by college leaders from across the nation, but also pledge to work in areas of carbon mitigation and resilience.

Emory & Henry joins 44 other institutions to become the charter signatories of the new Climate Commitment, which is the work of Second Nature, the umbrella organization for the university-based alliance. w

E&H Freezes Tuition

Starting with the fall semester of 2016, Emory & Henry will freeze tuition rates for current students. Under this plan tuition will rise 2.6 percent ($800) for next year and will then freeze at that rate through the last year until graduation. The freeze applies to students who are continuously enrolled full time and on course to finish their degrees on time.

Next year’s tuition freeze is intended to help students and their families better plan for their education.

“At Emory & Henry we understand that value includes the quality of the teaching and learning environment coupled with the amount you invest in that experience,” said Dave Voskuil, vice president for enrollment management. “We take seriously that shared investment in support of our students’ education.” w

Transfer Agreement Signed between E&H and VHCC

An agreement designed to recognize the accomplishments of transfer students and provide them with an associate’s degree while they continue working toward a bachelor’s degree was formalized this fall between Emory & Henry and Virginia Highlands Community College (VHCC).

For many years, VHCC students have enjoyed great success as they have continued their higher education at Emory & Henry. “These students have been among the strongest E&H graduates and have added to our reputation for academic excellence,” said Jake Schrum, E&H president.

To be eligible for reverse transfer, students must complete at least 15 hours toward a degree program at VHCC before transferring to Emory & Henry College. Once a total of 60 credits have been earned, applicable credits will be transferred back to VHCC and an associate’s degree will be awarded. w

E&H Hosts Apple Festival Band Competition

For the second consecutive year, Emory & Henry College has partnered with Chilhowie band organizations to host the annual Apple Festival Band Competition, a major music event that attracts more than 2,000 spectators and 1,400 musicians from throughout Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee.

The 63rd annual event, which was held this fall, was hosted by Emory & Henry, the Chilhowie High School Band and the Chilhowie High School Band Boosters.

The competition featured 25 marching band performances, including an exhibition performance by the Emory & Henry Marching Band. More than 200 music educators from Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee attended the competition. Bands as far away as Knoxville, Tenn., and Radford, Va., were in attendance at the event.

The Sullivan South High School Band from Kingsport, Tenn., under the direction of Kenneth Carrico, was awarded the prestigious Pat Miller Championship Cup, which is presented to the band with the highest overall score. w

Student Spotlight

Scott Takes the Stage

William Scott, a junior from Lynchburg, Va., who is pursuing a bachelor of fine arts degree in musical theatre, says the new performing space in the McGlothlin Center for the Arts is preparing him for the professional world he hopes to enter after graduation.

“Every single day I’m in the theatre, I’m getting the real-world experience that I’m going to need working in a professional theatre company.”

Scott says it was a dream come true recently when he participated in a master class hosted by Tony nominee and Emmy Award-winning actress, singer and recording artist Liz Callaway, who gave the inaugural performance at the new art center. During the class, he practiced his vocal audition presentation.

“That was a big moment in my life,” said Scott. “Everything she told me solidified many of the lessons I’ve learned here at Emory & Henry. The way I communicate on the stage with the audience and my fellow performers changed forever on that day.”

Scott is a member of the Concert Choir and Chamber Choir.

He has appeared on stage in roles such as Floyd Knowles in “The Grapes of Wrath” and Jack in “Into the Woods.”

“With this great new building come great new expectations. We are pushing in all directions to make the most of this opportunity, and we are all excited about the possibilities that await us in the future.” w

Theatre Department Offers Bachelor of Fine Arts Degrees

The E&H Department of Theatre will offer new Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degrees in acting, directing, musical theatre, and production and design. The department will continue to offer a broad-based bachelor of arts (B.A.) degree in theatre along with a theatre minor.

High Quality Work on a National Scale B.F.A. degrees are considered the standard for professional education in the theatre. Institutions offering a B.F.A. are

usually considered to be of the highest caliber in theatre training. “This has been a long time coming,” said Department Chair Daniel Wheeler. “We have been offering high quality B.A. degrees for some time that rival B.F.A.s offered by other colleges. This will allow us to compete on a national scale and call some positive attention to the high quality work we have been doing for years.” www.ehc.edu/theatre w

Record Achieved by E&H Theatre Students

A record number of E&H theatre students will participate in the upcoming Southeastern Theatre Conference Professional Auditions to be held in March 2016. The students had to pass a preliminary audition at the Virginia Theatre Association (VTA) conference in October.

They are Isabella Ibanez, William Scott, Heather Whalen, Osama Ashour and Alissa Jones.

This 56 percent rate of success far exceeds averages across the region and nearly doubles the department’s usual numbers. This is another exciting development for the department, which continues to grow in size, scope and rigor. These five students will join their peers with design and technical aspirations at SETC, where they will be competing for employment at many nationally and internationally recognized performance venues. w

MAKING

The name Dan Leidig (‘50) is associated with many aspects of Emory & Henry life, past and present. From the college library to a popular poetry lectureship to the development of many academic programs, the late academic dean has carved his name permanently in the cornerstone of E&H history.

Today another important development in the life of the College bears his imprint — the construction of the new Woodrow W. McGlothin Center for the Arts.

“It was Dan who originally thought that a fine arts center was something that the College had to have. That goes back to when he was serving as academic dean,” said Charles Sydnor (‘65), who served as Emory & Henry’s 18th president from 1984 to 1992.

“He spoke of the need for a legitimate arts center that included a gallery for exhibiting artwork and theatre space for not only plays, but also for full orchestra concerts,” Sydnor said. “I remember him talking about it in those days (the 1960s) when I was a student, and he would mention it again when I was president.”

Some 50 years after Leidig first promoted the idea of a center for the arts, the vision now stands as an impressive reality that would have amazed the former dean, Sydnor said. “What makes this (the McGlothlin Center) so awesome is that it goes beyond anything we could’ve imagined in the 1980s.

It’s not just its grandeur that is so inspiring, but also how useful it is going to be.”

While the hope for a new arts center gained energy in the 1980s under Sydnor, the college found itself delaying plans for its construction in favor of conquering numerous other, expensive renovation and maintenance projects that had been delayed for many years.

Later in the 1990s under President Tom Morris, the hope for such a center continued as part of his dream for a college campus that emphasized both the sciences and the arts. While president, Morris presided over the construction of McGlothlin-Street Hall, which provided new, state-of-the-art space for biology, chemistry and psychology as well as additional space for other academic programs.

In his effort to dramatically enhance arts education at the College, Morris created the first Division of Visual and Performing Arts, thereby laying the academic groundwork for a public gallery and performance venue at Emory & Henry.

Although gifts toward the construction of an arts center had been made over the decades, it wasn’t until 2007 under the leadership of Emory & Henry’s 20th president, Rosalind Reichard, that a campaign targeting the construction of the facility began in earnest. The campaign, called the “Prelude to Performance,” raised money for both the McGlothlin Center for the Arts and the James H. Brooks Field House.

Reichard retired from Emory & Henry in 2013 just as construction was beginning on the McGlothlin Center for the Arts, which, among many distinctive qualities, includes high standards for energy efficiency, a hallmark of the many building projects completed during her tenure as president.

In her opening ceremony remarks to some 150 people gathered in the main lobby of the Center, Reichard praised Woodrow McGlothlin and the McGlothlin family for their generous support of the Center. She joined President Schrum and former President Morris in saluting Woodrow McGlothlin as a man whose name has been equated not only with generosity, but also with warmth and a loving commitment to the College, education and the arts.

And, as she had done before while serving as president, Reichard asked a question that is asked in a poem, called “Ampersand,” written by Leidig: “Did old Tobias smile when he planted this paradox here in a pasture beside an abundant and abandoned spring?”

She concluded that both Tobias Smyth, one of the original founders of the College, and Leidig were indeed smiling. w

president's message

When I first decided to dedicate my career to serving the greater good by working at colleges and universities related to the United Methodist Church, I was introduced to the word philanthropy. In its basic form philanthropy means love of humankind.

Think about it, love of humankind. What could be more important?

Obviously, for many of us love of God is more important. And yet the two seem inextricably intertwined. When we truly love God it’s nearly impossible not to love humankind as well.

There are a lot of philanthropists in the Emory & Henry family. Some demonstrate their love of humankind when they attend events at the College, especially Homecoming and football games where people voluntarily express their affection for their friends and fellow alumni. Others demonstrate their philanthropy by carefully helping a young woman or man to find a way to access an Emory & Henry education. They recommend the College, cajole the admission prospect and help to find the financial support to assure matriculation at the College.

Countless Wasps alumni have done this year after year and have made a lasting difference in the lives of the students they have helped to attend Emory & Henry.

Then there are those who, even though they do not give great sums of money, have, nevertheless, found a way to dedicate a portion of their philanthropic dollars to Emory & Henry year after year, season after season as a way to say to their alma mater, “You can count on me.”

Some people in the Emory & Henry family, and it is a growing number, want to step forward and give a gift that defines what they really love. Some of those people are highlighted in this issue of the Emory & Henry magazine. Often these major gifts are a result of the careful estate planning that seems to resonate with a significant number of alumni and friends.

All of these ways of expressing one’s “love of humankind” are essential to the very survival of Emory & Henry College. In their own way these philanthropists have chosen to do three things to demonstrate their “love of humankind.” First, they have made a decision to give back in some way. Second, they have “stuck their necks out” for something important to them. Third, they have begun to define what their legacy might be after they leave this world.

I can assure you that your College and the one Jane and I now love needs for you to be thoughtful about what you might do to be a philanthropist for Emory & Henry.

If you do what fits the occasion and what pleases you, we will all be happy.

Kind wishes for a meaningful New Year.

Jake B. Schrum President

Bearing Good Fruit

by Rev. David Jackson

Loren and Alice Dow arrived in Emory, Va., in the summer of 1949 from Camden and Brooksville, Maine. Loren had come to Emory & Henry to serve as a professor in the Sociology Department, and, with a divinity degree, also served churches of the area as an itinerate preacher. Alice arrived with a good deal of work experience, but without a college education.

They were a thrifty and industrious couple and within a few years Alice had completed an undergraduate degree from Emory & Henry, a master’s degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (by riding a bus to Knoxville and back), and, finally, an Ed.D. degree from the University of Northern Colorado, where Alice and Loren often spent their summers camping in the Rocky Mountains. Alice then went on, as a colleague of Loren’s, to teach business and accounting for 27 years at Emory & Henry, from 1954 to 1981, impacting the lives of countless students, while leading the development of the College’s Business Department.

Loren passed away in October of 1997 and Alice followed him in the summer of 2011. At her eulogy in Memorial Chapel on August 13, 2011, Dr. Tal Stanley (‘83) recalled the financial thriftiness of Loren and Alice: “Alice invented the practice of ‘reduce, reuse, recycle,’ and if she invented it, she elevated it to a science and to an art form.”

Alice and Loren, having grown up in the throes of the Great Depression, were known in the community as an industrious and generous couple who often shared with their neighbors, not only gifts from their large garden and honey from their bee hives, but also their many talents.

Dr. Mary Cox, a longtime neighbor and friend of Loren and Alice, recalled the couple’s love of travel, reading, and photography, as well as the care both showed for their churches. Loren relished his work as a pastor, work which he continued long after his retirement from Emory & Henry. Dr. David St. Clair (‘73), who officiated at Loren’s funeral service, remembers Loren and Alice cleaning and renovating churches that Loren served well up into his 70s. Both Loren and Alice cared deeply for their neighbors, often spending their days visiting with friends and parishioners, and they cared deeply for their community.

Dr. Stanley went on in his eulogy for Alice to share an anecdote about Loren and Alice. His family, upon moving to Emory, decided to establish a blueberry patch on their property. Alice and Loren had blueberry bushes and were happy to share some. While digging up the bushes with his young son, David, Dr. Stanley asked Alice how old the bushes were.

“Older than you,” she replied, “They came with us from Maine.” Those bushes, brought by the Dows, and now twice transplanted, continue to live and bear good fruit in Emory.

I was shocked the day I opened a letter from Wells-Fargo to learn that the Emory United Methodist Church, where Alice, in particular, invested much of herself, was to receive 10 percent (a tithe) of the Dow’s Estate. It was a beautiful thing to learn that this thrifty, industrious and generous couple had left such a gift to a people and community that they loved.

It was also awe-inspiring to see that the Dows had also left a gift of more than $2 million to Emory & Henry College — where they had made a life and career — for teaching chairs to be endowed in their respective memories. What a generous gift this was, and who could have imagined a gift of this magnitude from such a thrifty, humble and loving couple.

Both the Church and the College are receiving and using these generous gifts to strengthen ministry and teaching at Emory & Henry, and we are doing so because we have received the fruits of the Dows’ long and faithful labor. Like those blueberry bushes, the forethought, generosity, and investment of this quintessential Emory family, who set down roots among us, will continue to bear fruit for many, many years in the lives of teachers, students and parishioners. w

Homecoming brings out the passion in all of us.

What were you passionate about this year?

(This page) Big hugs are a must. Runners can do the Wasper 5-K, and these two have run it all 10 years.

Art lovers checked out the new gallery in McGlothlin Center for the Arts. Scientists reunited with mentors.

Choir enthusiasts sang the National anthem. Last year’s homecoming queen sported a tiara for the halftime show. (Next page) Bubbly conversations pretty much rule the day. The game is an important tradition especially in this year celebrating 100 seasons of E&H football. Sisters of ABX were passionate about a sister winning the queen’s crown. Who doesn’t love posing with old friends? And Emory & Henry’s brand new marching band brought passionate cheers and tears and profound pride in their hard work. w

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

So many good people... so many good times

In 2015 Emory & Henry alumni could be found in the Clinch River, on a rooftop in Washington D.C., at a baseball game in the Smoky Mountains, at a museum in Norfolk and, of course, back on the E&H campus. But wherever alumni and friends were, there were smiles and hugs, professionals ready to network, pals quick to tell stories, and fans who were loud and proud.

If you’ve missed any of these great moments don’t waste time making plans for future good times. Go to alumni.ehc.edu and check out Upcoming Events.

Just a few of our 2015 events for alumni and friends: Group photo before floating down the Clinch River.

Emory & Henry in the City: It’s Like Homecoming in Your Hometown!

Our third annual Emory & Henry in the City event racked up more than 400 participants this year! Alumni showed up in more than 17 locations to lift a glass to E&H spirit...including (clockwise): Los Angeles, Calif., Seattle, Wash., Hampton Roads, Va., Abingdon, Va., and Marion, Va. Let us know if you’d like to organize an event: alumni@ehc.edu The next event is Friday, March 25, 2016.

You Said It!

Recently E&H alumni were provided the opportunity to participate in a survey about Emory & Henry. The purpose of the survey was to learn more about the relationship, past and present, of alumni with the College. The survey also plumbed the thoughts and opinions of alumni about the ways in which their relationships with the College, as well as the College itself, can improve and grow.

Response to the survey was strong indicating that alumni care deeply about Emory & Henry, its mission as well as its vision for its future.

“We’re very fortunate that so many alumni shared their feelings about their alma mater,” said Monica Hoel ‘85, the College’s director of alumni affairs. “We continue to pour over the survey’s responses and look forward to communicating with alumni in some detail about those results in the near future,” said Hoel. “We’re especially perusing responses from people who said they’d like to volunteer, so we can reach out to them soon.”

100 Years of E&H FOOTBALL

What better way to celebrate the 100th season of football at Emory & Henry than with a reunion of all of our former players? With close to 300 former players in attendance throughout the day, it was a reunion like no other.

Speakers at the event included Sonny Wade (‘73), who played for the Montreal Alouettes. Members of the college’s famous Tangerine Bowl teams were on hand including Rev. Dick Looney (‘54) and Pat Spurgeon (‘52). Pat’s speech brought the audience to its feet in cheers. Crowd favorites Oliver Jordan (‘00) and Caleb Jennings (‘11) rounded out the speakers.

Everyone went onto Nicewonder Field during halftime where former AllAmericans and major award winners were recognized—and a nod was given to Marvin Reynolds (‘44) who was our most senior player present (shown waving on the field).

Assembly members Israel O’Quinn (‘02) and Jeff Campbell (‘92) brought along a resolution they co-sponsored and had passed by the Virginia General Assembly to congratulate Emory & Henry on this important milestone. w

Rasiah credits science and math classes for preparing him to serve in National Guard

Kannan Rasiah (’10) is performing an important service for the

United States: he is assisting with military funerals.

Rasiah has served in the Tennessee Army National Guard since

2012, and serves primarily as a medic. But recently his duties have been centered on performing military funerals – a job that is keeping him regrettably busy. Recently he has been averaging 12 funerals every two days. Kannan’s job at a service usually involves playing Taps, folding and presenting the flag, and occasionally a rifle salute if the deceased is retired military.

Rasiah is full-time in the Army Guard, and is gleaning all he

can from the medical training he is provided. He says his biology and math studies at Emory & Henry provided him with a great basis for what he is doing as a “Doc” in the Army, and he is grateful to E&H professors. He recently dropped by his alma mater and sat in on one of Dr. Melissa Taverner’s classes.

“Until you’re away from it, you don’t realize how great it is to

be in an educational community where people push you to know more and learn more and immerse yourself more deeply into what you’re studying,” said Rasiah. w

Large Makes Mark as Medical Physicist

Cathy Cuskey Large (’93) used to avoid physics like the plague: so, of

course, she is now flourishing as a medical physicist.

“I took physics in high school and just hated it. But I had a teacher at

Virginia Highlands Community College who made me love it.” So she transferred to Emory & Henry, graduated with a major in physics and a minor in math, and then headed to University of Tennessee for a master’s degree in physics.

While there she ventured into the engineering department to explore a

more applications-based area of physics (less theoretic), and that’s where she first heard about medical physics. She’s never looked back.

She has worked at the clinic level where she had to implement logistics

necessary to make it safe for cancer patients and health workers to be around radiation treatment. “We even have to take into consideration someone who might be working on the roof on a given day.” Her work there involved everything from selecting proper building materials to measuring wall widths.

These days she’s working for Phillips Medical as a consultant, and is writing algorithms for the administration of

radiation. “It’s a great career, and there aren’t a lot of people doing this – so there are great opportunities for new grads.” w

EMORY MEMORY by Henry S. Keuling-Stout and Fran Keuling-Stout American folk singer and activist Pete Seeger, who died in January 2014, is remembered in this tribute by Class of ‘69 graduate Henry S. Keuling-Stout and wife Fran Keuling-Stout.

Well, Pete Seeger has sung himself into heaven. There he will find a chorus of appreciation. Here on the planet, amongst the toiling, often suffering and hungry souls, there are those who will never forget what he said, what he sang, and how he encouraged us to change our ways and direction.

In March 1968, Pete Seeger flew from the upper Midwest to Emory & Henry College, Emory, Virginia to sit and listen to a three day symposium entitled "Emphasis 1968, the New Morality."

Pete wanted to hear what was said about the current and new morality by such speakers as Saul Alinsky, founder and director of the Industrial Areas Foundation; Dr. John Compton, chairman of the philosophy department at Vanderbilt University; James Farmer, former National Director of CORE; Nat Hentoff, jazz and social critic and free-lance writer; Joseph Matthews, dean of Chicago's Ecumenical Institute; Ralph McGill, publisher of the Atlanta "Constitution" and William Stringfellow, New York attorney, author, lecturer, and lay theologian.

Pete roomed with students; not in a hotel. He met and talked with students. At one luncheon of a dozen or so students in the college cafeteria, he asked a probing question: "You're being educated at Emory & Henry. How many of you plan to go back to your (mostly rural) hometowns and share the education you received in your hometown and here?" No one, including me, raised a hand.

On Saturday night, the closing event of this symposium, Pete Seeger overwhelmed us with his music and his persona.

He announced that he had written a song and wanted to play it for the first time. He asked for a wad of bubble gum with which to tie the new music to the microphone. We, as students who had put together "Emphasis 1968", along with the assistance of our faculty, were proud of this event, this presence of Pete Seeger. This was the 60's. Many colleges and forums and venues would not invite Pete Seeger or his follower Joan Baez. But Emory & Henry permitted Pete Seeger to not only perform but become involved with the students and the topics of the symposium. Hurrah for Emory & Henry!

Pete was so humble, so exhilarating, real, probative, and prescient. Preparing this tribute, Fran and I found on the internet an article summarizing a conversation during Pete’s participation at the Emory & Henry symposium, written by Bren Nichols, a reporter for the Phoenix Literary Magazine, vol. 9, No. 4, May 1968. I doubt that few, if any, have ever seen much less read the article. I surely had not.

Before March 1968, I envisioned Pete Seeger as a person I had seen and heard on television and on the radio. He had sung with the Smothers Brothers and many others. Here he was a musical icon who, at the last minute, agreed and decided to come to our little college in the southwestern part of Virginia.

As I think back and read the Phoenix article, it occurs to me that Pete Seeger came to a small college in rural far southwest Virginia because ­— just as we found it hard to believe he was coming to us — he found it hard to believe the students of our college Reprinted from the Phoenix Literary Magazine. in 1968 were putting together a group of quite spirited and liberal persons whom the students encouraged to speak their "peace."

When I graduated from Emory & Henry in 1969 I was encouraged by one of probably the best professors I have ever had, Samir Saliba, to go to graduate school. I made application to several schools with my first choice being the University of Chicago. Professor Saliba (Samir) gave me a recommendation. I also wanted Pete Seeger to give me a recommendation for the University of Chicago. He did.

Earning my master's there, I went to serve in the army after which I went to law school. But where to go from there was my question.

Maybe because I did not have all that much selfconfidence but also because the question of Pete Seeger continued to ring softly in my ear: "Was I going to serve the rural community which educated me?"

I chose to seek employment as a lawyer in far southwest Virginia and have served the area since 1975. When asked why I am still in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, (since my bride and I also live in New York City), I keep coming back to my "promise" to myself or was it to Pete Seeger that if I had a worthy talent, I would bring and share it in and with far southwest Virginia.

Willing to share my commitment, Fran gave up her college teaching career in New York and together we try to sing our song in our Virginia homeland.

For it is in both places that we can either see or feel and act upon the life and encouragement of Pete Seeger.

In New York, we can see from our apartment window the Hudson River which Pete Seeger helped to reclaim and here in the Gap we live with a people whose very DNA prepares and enables them to not only sing but also to write a new generation of Pete Seeger songs.

For Fran and me, it will be impossible for us to forget the song and soul of Pete Seeger, a man who lived and died in New York and came to be with us in far southwest Virginia.

Pete Seeger asked one question of one person. This question informed us of how and when to make an important future life decision. I hope I speak for millions around the globe and heaven too!

"Fare Thee Well", Pete. Rest in Peace. w 48 /FALL 2015 / EMORY & HENRY MAGAZINE
