School of Health Sciences: doing well by doing good

President's Message

... Doing well & doing good

Many of you remember, with fondness and even nostalgia, the red brick, white columned college on the hill that overlooked a sweeping campus green and narrow creek that fed a peaceful duck pond. It was a college comprised of employees and students committed to fostering a superb liberal arts education with an imperative to serve middle Appalachia and the world beyond.

Knowing that this image of the past is still reflected in the mission of this College should be a source of pride and gratification for all of us who love Emory & Henry. However, a world in which a liberal arts education is not as sought after or admired as it once was provides Emory & Henry with some daunting, long-term challenges.

There is a serious sense of urgency to find ways to strengthen our core mission while we strive to relate to a world that is focused on jobs, power politics and fame. We must find a way to help our graduates realize that the liberating education they receive at Emory & Henry will surely help them to do well in life and, yet, to also do some good for others.

Nothing could be more American than this concept.

Our country has been built on the twin pillars of entrepreneurship and generosity. The two go hand in hand. The success of the risk-taker and the innovator has been matched by a desire throughout our history to provide opportunities for others to have the same success. Together, these two impulses have helped America become a beacon of light for the world.

As a College we too must be focused on “doing well and doing good.” To do well we must be strong financially. To do good, we must be committed to serving others throughout the world, beginning with our home in middle Appalachia.

That’s why our School of Health Sciences, featured in this issue, is such a perfect example of what our future must look like. The graduates of our professional programs in physical therapy,

occupational therapy, and, starting next fall, physician’s assistant education, will graduate, obtain good jobs, and by virtue of their chosen career, do some good as they serve the increasingly difficult medical challenges of people in this region.

We will always value the past and will preserve the traditions that make us happy when we

return to our alma mater. In addition, we will continually seek new ways to foster a rich educational experience while serving the common good.

EXEMPLIFING THE MISSION OF THE COLLEGE

The School of Health Sciences M

promotes doing well by doing good

ost any discussion these days about the Emory & Henry School of Health Sciences on its new campus in Marion leads inevitably to a consideration of numbers related to the enrollment and financial impact of the school on the fiscal future of the College.

To be sure, both the reality and the projections related to those numbers tell a very positive story about the wisdom of investing in graduate programs in the health sciences.

Enrollment for the two programs launched so far at the site, physical therapy and occupational therapy, has reached capacity and waiting lists of prospective students are forming.

The College expects to have more than 120 health science graduate students enrolled on its Marion campus by May 2017, when the Physician Assistant program is slated to begin. After the last cohort of this third health science discipline is added, by 2020, the school will contribute more than 300 students annually to the overall E&H student enrollment. By 2025, the College expects to have graduated more than 680 healthcare professionals.

What is often forgotten, however, in the discussion of enrollment numbers is the primary motivation for Emory & Henry in the development of the School: service to the community.

From the very beginning chief administrators, including former President Rosalind Reichard and former Vice President for Academic Affairs Chris Qualls, talked of the impact such a school would have on health care delivery in the region.

With assistance from a consultant and from the Mountain States Health Alliance, Emory & Henry conducted research into the health care needs of the region.

“We spent a great deal of time researching the need and impact of this school,” said Qualls, a professor of psychology with experience in the allied health professions, those that are distinct from primary healthcare professions, such as medicine or dentistry. “It quickly became clear to us that there was a great shortage of healthcare professionals, especially in the allied healthcare field, including physical therapists and physician assistants.”

What also became clear was that without a significant population of allied healthcare and advanced practice care professionals, Southwest Virginia would continue to struggle with attracting quality physicians who rely on a network of regional healthcare providers to ensure that they can make adequate referrals and thus deliver a more reliable and comprehensive healthcare service to patients.

“Healthcare professionals today are very dependent upon one another,” Qualls said. “Those who genuinely have the best interests of their patients at heart know that if they can’t provide proper referrals their work becomes very frustrating.”

Through its School of Health Sciences Emory & Henry intentionally provides an educational focus on rural health care, both in the classroom and in the students’ clinical experiences. The vast majority of students’ clinical work experiences are located in Southwest Virginia. This focus is aimed at increasing the chances that students who graduate from its programs will remain in the area to practice.

important role in the work of the Falls Prevention Center, which is located on the first floor of the main campus building. This Center is the first of its kind in the region and seeks to address not just the needs of an increasingly older Southwest Virginia population, but also raise awareness about the serious health dangers, immobility and fall risk factors for people of all ages.

Emory & Henry students will work with patients to both address the risk factors of falls and to develop strategies to overcome challenges placing individuals at risk for fall and injury, said Julia Castleberry, the director of the center. Students will practice a holistic care approach that considers the patient’s needs, goals and lifestyle as well as physical factors that contribute to falls, such as poor vision, weakness, decreased mobility and environmental barriers across the life span.

A long-term perspective to fall prevention includes education with community outreach. The center will offer programs and services free of charge that will include continued on next page

“The facilities and students provided by the School of Health Sciences will make enormous contributions to a health care need that to this point has largely gone unmet in this region,” Castleberry said. “The potential of this Center to improve the quality of life for patients in Southwest Virginia is enormous.”

Through the School of Health Sciences, Emory & Henry has extended its commitment to service in ways that have immediate impact on the human condition. Fincher said for professors at the School of Health Sciences, who are by the nature of their professions dedicated to the health care of individuals, are drawn to the E&H program because it places their commitment within the context of a regional transformation in health care.

“We have been able to attract professors of high quality to this school, and we fully expect that because of this quality and their commitment, Emory & Henry’s School of Health Science will be among the best in the nation,” Fincher said. “And we have been able to accomplish this because of our determination to not only be a quality learning environment, but to contribute greatly to the well-being of this region and its people.”

Inside the W.L. Lemmon Lecture Hall

That transformation in health care delivery can eventually, according to both Qualls and Fincher, lead to tremendous economic growth for communities in the area.

As more allied health and advanced practice care professionals go to work in the region, they create the networks that will attract physicians and, hence, contribute to a team-based approach to higher quality overall health care.

If economic development strategies in other areas are any indication, as health care improves, business expansion, higher wages and population growth follow.

“I believe it can happen,” Qualls said. “The first questions that businesses ask when they consider relocating to an area are, ‘What are your schools like and what is your health care like?’”

Emory & Henry, through both quality education and a School of Health Sciences that may well transform health care in the Appalachian Highlands of Southwest Virginia, is providing some persuasive answers to those questions. And as it improves the health of the region, it is managing to maintain the health of the institution. In short, the College is realizing what it has long believed possible: Emory & Henry can do well by doing good. w

More than 200 attend SHS ribbon cutting

The ribbon cutting for the School of Health Sciences was held Oct. 7, followed by guided tours given by students from the inaugural Doctor of Physical Therapy cohort.

Speakers for the event included Jake Schrum, Lou Fincher, Rosalind Reichard (former E&H president), John Graham (Smyth County circuit court clerk, and chair of the Smyth County Community Foundation) and Betsy Sayers ‘73 (daughter of W.L. “Bill” Lemmon).

The ceremony included a dedication of the Smyth County Community Academic Pavilion and the W.L. Lemmon Lecture Hall. The ceremony was attended by more than 200 people including local legislators and representatives from Emory & Henry, the Town of Marion, Smyth County, Mountain States Health Alliance, Branch & Associates, and RRMM Architects. Appreciation was expressed to Smyth County Community Foundation for its principal gift, to Mountain States Health Alliance for donation of the building and campus and to members of the Lemmon family for their major support.

E&H Receives $771,000 in Support of Health Sciences Labs and Classrooms The Virginia Tobacco Regional Revitalization and Indemnification Commission has awarded Emory & Henry $221,500 in support of equipment for an inter-professional clinical simulation lab at the School of Health Sciences (SHS). A key component of the lab are manikins, known as high-fidelity patient simulators, which can manifest the signs of illness as well as other vital signs, such as blood pressure, temperature, breathing and heart rate. The grant will be matched by money from the Smyth County Community Foundation. In addition, the Appalachian Regional Commission awarded the SHS a $500,000 grant to equip classrooms and labs for students of the Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy programs and the Physician Assistant Program slated to begin in 2018. w

Leaman Free Clinic: giving back to the community

Collaboration between Emory & Henry College and Mel Leaman Free Clinic is making it possible for patients in Southwest Virginia to receive a level of services possibly beyond what other free clinics throughout the country are able to offer.

Michael Armbrister (’99), executive director of the free clinic in Marion, Virginia, said instead of being just a primary care provider, the clinic will be able to meet more needs of its patients.

“So many things we’ve been in need of for so long— physical therapy, dental care, and women’s health—will be services we can provide in the near future. That means we’ll have a healthier community,” he said.

Mel Leaman Free Clinic provides high-quality health care to patients who qualify. The clinic operates as a private, not-for-profit medical facility and does not receive reimbursement from patients or insurers for services. All operating funds come from donations or grants.

Since partnering with Emory & Henry College, the free clinic has relocated to Smyth Hall on the campus of the Emory & Henry School of Health Sciences.

The collaboration has allowed the free clinic to expand from three to nine examination and procedure rooms.

Additional services include women’s health care, behavioral medicine, genetic counseling, physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT). An additional collaboration with Wytheville Community College’s Dental Hygiene program will enable the clinic to offer dental hygiene services for free to clinic patients.

“We’re excited to be offering dental services because there is a great need for those services The waiting room, left, and, below, new lab at the Mel Leaman Free Clinic.

in the region. We typically have not provided many women’s health services, but now we can increase access to those services,” he said.

Armbrister said the clinic will offer PT and OT care that traditionally have been hard to find as a low-cost or free service.

“Most of our patients are employed and many of them need therapy to get back to work when they are sick or injured. Being able to offer these services will allow them to get back to work quicker and easier.”

“The free clinic is a win-win for the community, the patients of Southwest Virginia, and the Emory & Henry faculty and students.” — Dr. Lou Fincher

Faculty of the health science programs will volunteer their professional services in the clinic, and Emory & Henry students will have opportunities to shadow those providers as an extension of their education.

“The clinic provides the services to the community free of charge, and our students get to work with patients and providers,” said Fincher.

Fincher says the vision started with Dr. Scott Richards, associate professor, chair of the Department of Physician Assistant Studies and Physician Assistant Program director.

“His hard work and persistence and collaboration with Michael Armbrister is what led to the relocation of the clinic.”

“Our students get the benefits of the free clinic practice and seeing how the clinicians volunteer in those settings. As a result, the students are more likely to volunteer in free clinics at other times in their lives.

“And, that’s one of our goals,” she said. “Our program focuses on giving back to the community. That’s what sets us apart from other health sciences programs.” w

Dr. Lou Fincher: a builder and collaborator

feature

Dr. Lou Fincher was hired in June 2014 as founding dean of the college’s new School of Health Sciences.

“Once I learned about the institution, the region, and the vision for the School of Health Sciences, I was sold,” said Dr. Fincher.

The Texas native is calling Southwest Virginia her new home­—a place she can put down roots.

Her first visit to Emory & Henry was in the fall of 2013. “It was during peak foliage. I fell in love with the mountains, but mostly I fell in love with the college, its mission, and what it stood for.”

The opportunity to be the school’s founding dean and to start at ground zero is a pretty exciting opportunity and not one that comes around often. It’s what Dr. Lou Fincher drew me here.”

Dr. Fincher has worked tirelessly to develop and move ahead on a strategic initiative by Emory & Henry to improve health care education and health care in Southwest Virginia, a plan that includes developing the School of Health Sciences in Marion, Va., now located in the former Smyth County Hospital building.

“When people come in the front door they say, ‘wow.’

It doesn’t look like an old hospital. With the support of several grants, we’ve been able to equip the spaces,” she said.

“The school has a highly interactive and hands-on environment. It also will provide much-needed health care to underserved people in Southwest Virginia.”

She brings more than 30 years of teaching, leadership and health care experience to her current role at Emory & Henry.

Before beginning work at the SHS, Fincher served as chair of the Department of Kinesiology at The University of Texas at Arlington from 2009 to 2014; founding program director for UT Arlington's CAATE accredited Athletic Training Education Program from 2000 to 2009; and president and CEO of the Joe W. King Orthopedic Institute at the Texas Orthopedic Hospital in Houston, Texas from 1998 to 2000.

Developing a standard of excellence Dr. Fincher sees her job as not only building a program but

developing a reputation of excellence. “Actually, I strive for a level of excellence that’s beyond what anyone would expect.”

She admitted she’s not good at keeping a balance between her personal life and her professional career. But, when she does get away from the challenges of being a college dean, she finds herself fly fishing in the middle of a local stream.

“To me, being in the water where your cell phone doesn’t work and you can see the birds and the sky, there’s nothing more peaceful.” She’s also an avid gardener.

“I love the mountains and the people in Southwest Virginia.

I’m very happy to be here and excited about what we’re doing on campus.

“I think we’re in the position to make a meaningful impact on health care in the community.” u

Building a program

In addition to describing herself as very loyal and committed to doing things right, Dr. Fincher said she is a builder.

“I like to build programs and develop teams of faculty.

I love we are building the reputation of health sciences for Emory & Henry,” she said.

Part of her work as founding dean is building a culture that is very intentionally collaborative and missionfocused.

“I don’t want our faculty or our programs to operate within silos,” she said. “My vision is to build a culture that provides strong opportunities and experiences for our students and a collaborative environment for our faculty.”

ON THE CAMPUS

Dawsey Encourages Students to Take Ownership of Future As the sun set on the first full day of classes for the 2016-17 academic year, Dr. James M. Dawsey challenged the student body to strive for a life of service in a world full of challenges.

Dawsey, who serves as the Wolfe chair and a professor of religious studies, spoke of “a time of place and consequences” as he delivered the 2016 academic convocation on the south lawn of Memorial Chapel.

During his speech, Dawsey invited the students in the audience to take ownership of their education and future. He encouraged them to enjoy their time at the college, to grow in knowledge and ability and to capture a high-paying job once they graduate — promising them the college community will do everything it can to help them succeed.

Dr. Jim Dawsey Convocation ceremonies included awards for members of the faculty and staff, including the college travel grant, given to Patty Greany, public service librarian in the Kelly Library. Other award recipients included Joy Scruggs, professor of health and human performance, who was honored with the Exemplary Teaching Award given by the General Board of Higher Education Ministry of the United Methodist Church. Dr. Kathleen Chamberlain, professor of English, Dr. Chris Qualls, professor of psychology and pre-health director, Jane Caldwell, interim director for Kelly Library, and Iris Worley, general accountant in the business office, each of whom won the Earnest E. and Elizabeth C. Maiden Award. u

Drewitz-Crockett Honored with VFIC Award

Dr. Nicole Drewitz-Crockett has been awarded the 2016 H. Hiter Harris Rising Star Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching by the Virginia Foundation of Independent Colleges (VFIC).

Her teaching emphasizes to students the intersection between their inquiry and their personal world view.

“I want my students to see that who they are and how they see the world matters: they may ask important questions that others may not even consider. Those questions, their answers, and the wrestling in between have revolutionary potential.”

As students delve into their personal relationships with their world, she asks students to see themselves as members of the community surrounding the E&H campus.

“Whether this area is home to them or not, living here even for a season of life will help shape them, especially if they see a connection between what they are learning in class and servicelearning projects they are involved in off campus,” said Drewitz-Crockett.

Since coming to Emory & Henry in 2012 has assumed directorship of the Emory & Henry Literary Festival and has taken on the editorship of The Iron Mountain Review, which is a publication of the proceedings of the Festival. She also has published extensively and presented at numerous conferences.

This award to Drewitz-Crockett represents the 18th state or national award given to an E&H professor in the last 29 years.

She is the third E&H professor to be honored by the Dr. Nicole Drewitz-Crockett VFIC. u

Outstanding Faculty Award Goes to Bremner

Dr. Kelly Bremner, E&H theatre professor, has been honored with the 2017 Outstanding Faculty Award given by the State Council for Higher Education in Virginia.

Bremner, who was honored in February 2017 during a ceremony in Richmond, has been repeatedly recognized for her success as a theatre director and producer and for her mentorship of students who have won major regional and national theatre competitions.

According to E&H President Jake Schrum, Bremner not only teaches theatre students how to act; she teaches them how to break down the invisible walls between the stage and the audience and between audiences and the outside world. “She encourages her students to understand that they have the power to move audiences Dr. Kelly Bremner to not only reflect on what they see on stage, but to help those audiences relate to a play’s message and even to act upon it.”

Her award represents the 19th state or national award given to an E&H professor in the last 29 years, including nine awards in the last 10 years.

A member of the E&H faculty since 2010, Bremner has directed numerous plays that have enjoyed large audiences and critical acclaim, including numerous Meritorius Achievement awards from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, and also done extensive work with the Washington County Public Schools.

In much of her work, Bremner seeks to connect theatre productions to audiences in ways that will lead to positive social action. u

Ampersand

Center Opens on Campus

A familiar building has been repurposed as the Ampersand Center, which houses key staff who assist students as they explore the new student experience at Emory & Henry which is Ampersand.

“Our college excels in making critical connections and getting students working on projects from the first day they step on campus,” said Dr. Tracy Lauder, Ampersand director.

Within the bright and casual atmosphere of the new Ampersand Center—featuring reclaimed barn-wood floors, factory window walls, and open ceilings—students will find comfortable spaces to meet with welcoming staff.

Students may drop in or make appointments; the staff will guide students toward answers and direct them to essential resources on and off campus.

Staff housed at the center are Lauder, Joe Vess, Ampersand advisor and programs coordinator, and Amanda Gardner, director of career services.

Student grants assist in project development

Ampersand grants funded 23 students during the 2015-16 academic year in support of project-based work.

Approximately half of the $10,235 awarded funded undergraduate research, while the remaining grants supported conference travel and service or co-curricular projects.

“We want students to go into job interviews excited to tell future employers about the projects they worked on at E&H—and how that work connects across disciplines, co-curricular activities, personal experiences, and the broader world. The Ampersand Center will help students make those connections.” - Dr. Lauder

After nearly five years of work, Emory & Henry students completed a major regional project in the summer of 2016 focused on the holdings of the Wilderness Road Regional Museum in Newbern, Va.

Nearly 100 students logged thousands of hours organizing museum documents and records into an accessible physical and online database archive to preserve the history of Newbern, Pulaski County and the region.

Nathan Fishell ’16 created a webpage dedicated to the museum as part of his capstone work in civic innovation.

“Through this project, we are prototyping a new approach to civic engagement at Emory & Henry,” said Tal Stanley, director of the Appalachian Center for Civic Life. “The project marks a significant milestone in joining education and civic work, at the same time providing a rare resource to the people of Pulaski County and Southwest Virginia.”

The Newbern Project was supported by the Corella and Bertram Bonner Foundation in Princeton, New Jersey, the Appalachian College Association, and Emory & Henry. u

ONU Law School Formalizes Relationship with E&H

Emory & Henry students hoping to become lawyers will have a faster path to completion of their degrees following an agreement with Ohio Northern University (ONU) by allowing students to complete their undergraduate education and their law degree training in six years instead of the normally required seven years of study.

Students must major in political science (B.A.), political science—law and politics (B.A.) or sociology—crime and society (B.A.) while at Emory & Henry. If they have the appropriate test scores and GPA they will be guaranteed admission to Ohio Northern University’s Pettit College of Law.

“Emory & Henry students enjoy the familiarity of Ohio Northern Law School as the two schools are in rural communities, have Methodist affiliations and trace their history back to the 19th century,” said David Crago, university provost, vice-president of academic affairs and professor of law at Ohio Northern University.

Dr. Joe Lane, an E&H political science professor and prelaw advisor, says over his 16 years of teaching at the College, he has watched 16 students succeed at ONU.

“We’ve had an assistant attorney general of Virginia, an associate U.S. attorney, and an associate Commonwealth attorney graduate from ONU after attending Emory & Henry.” u

Barn Allows College Horses to Spend Golden Years at Home

With the creation of the Intermont Equestrian Retirement Barn at Exit 26 on the main E&H campus, the equine “athletes” and “teachers” that have served the college so well can now live out their golden years on a farm near the college’s alumni house just off Interstate 81. The barn can house five to seven horses at any given time.

A ribbon cutting ceremony was held in October 2016 for the retirement barn which is supported by the generosity of the Calvin and Marisa Allen Foundation. Their support provides funding for the care of the horses as well as the establishment of the barn and fencing.

The care of these senior horses is placed on the upperclass students in the equine studies degree program, so they learn stewardship of the horses and the care requirements of aged horses. u

Anne Cheatham, who facilitated the philanthropic support through her parents’ foundation, was on hand to officially cut the ribbon for the retirement barn.

Marching Band Steps Into New Practice Hall The Emory & Henry College Marching Band is playing a happy tune after cutting the ribbon on a new home in October 2016. The newly constructed band building, located across from the Brooks Field House, features nearly 5,400 square feet of rehearsal space, as well as a storage area, restrooms, dressing rooms and office space.

In just two years, the marching band has nearly doubled in size from the inaugural season for a total of 74 members this fall.

The band performs during the pre-game and halftime of all Emory & Henry College home football games.

It is the only marching band in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference.

The band is comprised of music majors and non-music majors. u

College Breaks Ground on Residential Community

A groundbreaking ceremony took place in October 2016 for eight new residence halls, including six apartmentstyle halls, and a community center being added to two existing residence halls in an area known as The Village. The design and layout of the facilities, which provide 197-beds, will be a first for the college in its design and layout.

The $12.5 million project will be organized around a central quad with the community center as the focal point.

The college will also create additional parking for Village residents.

“Our campus residence halls are near capacity,” said Lacey Southwick, director of residence life for Emory & Henry College. “With the continued

trend of growth in our undergraduate student body, we need to add more on-campus housing in order to accommodate the demand.”

Each apartment unit will include a shared living room and kitchen along with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms.

The community building is designed to accommodate 300 students and house laundry facilities, a mailroom, a fitness center, a recreation area, a community kitchen and a collaborative meeting space. The community building also will include three various-sized classrooms and an apartment for the resident director.

The new structures will incorporate

A quest to study identity and belonging in Northern Ireland leads to research award

Emory & Henry College honor student Jackson Feezell was awarded the top prize for undergraduate research at the annual meeting of the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) in Seattle, Wash., in October 2016.

Feezell’s innovative work on identity and belonging in Northern Ireland was selected as the top poster presentation in the social and behavioral sciences, the largest research section of the NCHC.

His research focused on cross-border relations in North-West Ulster, and featured 34 interviews with young people aged 1828 on both sides of the Irish Border. Feezell conducted the interviews while studying abroad in Northern Ireland in Spring 2016.

His research set out to understand how the collective memory of a conflict for civil rights in Northern Ireland that took place from October 1968 to April 1998, known as the Troubles, was passed down. He also explored how the Irish border acted as a variable in this transmission of knowledge.

Feezell says he views his research as especially pertinent in the wake of the “Brexit,” the United Kingdom’s withdrawal

from the European Union in the impact that the separation is currently having on political and economic changes for the UK and other countries.

English department chair Scott Boltwood supervised the research. Boltwood is currently working on his own research titled “Northern Irish Drama from the Second World War to the Troubles.”

Great Surprise

The annual meeting of the NCHC is one of the largest venues for the presentation of high quality undergraduate research projects, and this year’s 71 presentations featured projects from colleges and universities all over the United States.

“I was quite shocked, but incredibly honored to be given this award. This honor just goes to show the quality of the E&H Honors Program. I could not have won this award without the intellectual environment that Honors Program director Dr. Joseph Lane and other faculty have fostered,” said Feezell. He hopes to continue his research in graduate school in the United Kingdom.

“He has worked hard on this for three years, and he will one day be among the leading researchers in the field,” said Lane. u

“These young people are the first to grow up without the violence of the Troubles highlighting the background of their daily lives.”

E&H Awarded $300,000 Grant to Fight Violence

MLK Speaker Challenges E&H Community to Plant Seeds of Change

Emory & Henry was one of 45 higher education institutions to receive one of 61 grants totaling $25 million from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women.

Only one of two awarded in Virginia, the nearly $300,000 grant will assist the College in working against sexual assault by improving offender accountability, promoting victim services and enhancing prevention activities to make the campus safer for students.

The grant enables the College to hire a full-time project coordinator whose work will include the implementation of mandatory prevention and education training for all incoming students, including first-year and transfer students.

As part of this work, Emory & Henry will continue its partnerships with regional leaders in the field including the Bristol Crisis Center and Abuse Alternatives. u

John Holloway, vice president of student life and student success and dean of inclusion at Emory & Henry, delivered the keynote address for the college’s 2017 celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. He challenged the E&H community to embrace the opportunity to plant the seeds of change to heal from the wounds that divisiveness across the country has created.

Holloway discussed his plans to assemble an exploratory group of students, faculty and staff on the E&H campus which, over the next six months to one year, will research, study, propose and possibly implement an intensive effort called the Intergroup Dialogues Project (IDP).

The IDP is a social justice education program that was developed at the University of Michigan in the lates 1980s that helps students develop intergroup relations skills, and to aid them in preparing to live and work in an increasingly diverse world. The program places a strong emphasis on the sharing of personal stories.

IDP’s peer-led model allows participants to teach and learn from each other’s lived experiences of privilege, oppression Ampersand director and professor, Tracy and difference.

Lauder, talks with students during a “This is tough work breakout session on MLK Day at E&H. that won’t necessarily result in differing sides finding agreement, but at the least understanding,” said Holloway.

MLK Day is coordinated by a planning team made up of students, staff and faculty and sponsored by the Office of Spiritual Life. This year’s theme focused on the idea of home by asking what it would take for Emory & Henry to become a community in Southwest Virginia that is truly welcoming, a place where everyone can find “home.” u

ADVANCEMENT Hawkins Family Scholarship to Support Teacher Education

When legendary Emory & Henry athlete and hall of famer Earl Hawkins was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he made two important decisions – who was going to get his beloved golf clubs and that he wanted to find a way to help more people attend his treasured alma mater.

One half of that dream came true on Oct. 14, 2016 with the formal establishment of the Hawkins Family Scholarship in a packed room on the second floor of the Brooks Field House overlooking Fred Selfe Stadium.

The scholarship will be awarded to junior or senior education majors with financial need.

The fund honors members of the Hawkins family who attended Emory & Henry College: Earl W. Hawkins, ’69 (dec.); Lynda Jones Hawkins, ’66; Charles W. “Chuck” Hawkins, ’91; and JudiAnn Hawkins, ’92.

“I think Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins chose to provide scholarship funds to teacher preparation students because they themselves spent lifetimes of service in the field of education. They knew first hand how important it is that pre-service teachers are well prepared for their future classrooms,” said Janet Crickmer, associate professor in the Education Department.

Earl Hawkins was a retired educator having taught and coached in Dinwiddie, Hanover and King & Queen counties. Lynda Hawkins spent 30 years in education as a classroom teacher, moving into school counseling, focusing on career education, business partnerships and the scholarship program for the Hanover County School System. u

Historic Structure Reopens

On a rainy Saturday in October 2016, the Tobias Smyth House (above) was rededicated following a move made necessary by the building of the McGlothlin Center for the Arts.

Thanks to generous grants from the following, the house also received some much needed upgrades: Williams-Berry Charitable Foundation, The Roller Bottimore Foundation, Richard and Caroline T. Gwathmey Memorial Trust, Helen S. and Charles G. Patterson, Jr. Charitable Foundation.

The house was the site of the first conversations between Tobias Smyth and Creed Fulton (two of the four College founders) in 1835 that resulted in the establishment of Emory & Henry in its current location.

Following a ribbon cutting, Mary-Margaret Justice (’69), (below) president of the College-Community Club, spoke to attendees. The College-Community Club was responsible for the relocation of the house from its original site to the College campus in 1927 and still assists in maintenance of the historic structure. The house serves as a meeting place for groups both on campus and from the community. u

Claudia Duffy’s Legacy Continues

A memorial fund established by friends and family members of former administrative assistant to the Dean of Students Claudia Duffy provides emergency assistance to Emory & Henry undergraduate students during times of personal crises. Claudia was adored by students for her wisdom and care.

“Claudia would've been proud to have had this (endowment) in her name,” said Dr. Michael Duffy, Claudia's husband and former E&H professor of physics.

“Claudia’s Fund” was established to provide financial support where a clear need exists and students’ personal funding is inadequate. Typical applications of the fund might include financial help for bereavement travel, a medical emergency, food, essential personal items or other acute needs as determined by the College. u

Chrisley works hard for the hit Name Sport Class Major From

Jordan Chrisley Softball Senior Sport Management Dublin, Va./Pulaski County HS

What made you choose Emory & Henry?

I chose Emory & Henry because of a great welcoming atmosphere, small class size for the best educational experience, and for athletics. Emory & Henry is truly a special place, and becomes home in no time.

What is it like to be a college student-athlete and how is it different from what you imagined?

Being a college athlete is definitely a rewarding experience that I will cherish and be able to use every day. You learn how to use time management skills and discipline. You learn to adapt to make sure to get your academic work done, even if that means you get up early to study.

How has your experience as a student-athlete enhanced your academic experience?

Being a student-athlete makes you become a more well-rounded individual. I think that it has enhanced my academics, and our coaches stay on us about our academics.

feature

What do you do to successfully balance your academic and athletic schedules?

In season it’s a little trickier because we are so busy with class, eating, treatment, workouts, practice, trying to get our homework in, and some of us work on campus. Each person’s schedule are different, so really finding what works for you is important in a college setting.

What is it like to be a member of the Emory & Henry community outside of class and athletics?

Emory & Henry is so special and being a part of this community is so rewarding. I know with softball we do community projects that involve athletics, and some that don’t. We have softball camps for all ages, and we also volunteer at animal shelters, send packages to armed forces, and feed the homeless nearby. It’s so important to give back to a community that you call home and does so much for you.

How has the strength & conditioning program helped you become a better player?

I have really enjoyed the workout experience here because I do think that it makes our teams better and prepares us to go up against teams in the ODAC. I think it has personally made me a better player by pushing me to do what I think that I can’t, and become a better teammate because I get to work out with my team and push them just as hard as they’re pushing me.

What is your most memorable athletic moment at Emory & Henry?

I have so many memories with softball! I love all of our double plays, diving catches, and the team atmosphere in the dugout. My personal memory that I will never forget was my sophomore year in the ODAC tournament. I was in a batting slump, but I kept working hard on it and I got the hit that tied the game against Virginia Wesleyan (#1 in ODAC) which then led us to winning that game. k

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Message from the Alumni Board President

I want to express our gratitude to Allison Mays for her leadership over the past two years as she served as president of the E&H Alumni Association. Now, as I begin my own term as president, I am excited and humbled by the opportunity to serve in this role.

Emory & Henry alumni represent a wide range of personalities, careers, viewpoints and influences. You are leaders and servants in your community and in your work. You seek daily to live out the values imparted to us as students here. You are determined to give something back, and I know that you do, in so many astounding ways.

No matter where you are now, because of the things you learned, the experiences you had, and the questions you considered during your time at E&H, you continue to think of how you can make the world a better place. For these reasons, I am delighted and proud to represent you as the president of the Alumni Association.

This publication will show you a variety of events and headlines that we hope will increase your excitement about our alma mater. More importantly, we hope you see something that inspires you to join us for an alumni gathering in your region, to come to a performance on campus, a sporting event, a choir performance, or a studentnetworking event – there are so many ways for you to continue to be connected to Emory & Henry. Please visit alumni.ehc.edu to see all the volunteer opportunities and upcoming events. Perhaps you can join us this year for More Than A Vacation. Or, maybe there’s a lyceum lecture you are interested in attending. And, if you want to see some of the incredible things our current students are doing, I strongly encourage you to come to Ampersand Day.

In the meantime, make plans to join us for an opportunity to meet other alumni in your neighborhood; E&H in the City is March 31 – and I’ll bet there will be a happy hour near you!

Thank you for being an important member of our E&H alumni community. Please plan to be with us somewhere soon.

From Holston to Liffey

Developing an alumni travel experience that interacted with students wasn’t easy. But that was the challenge set forth to the E&H Alumni Association. Thanks to faculty members who oversee study abroad experiences, alumni had the opportunity for a trip that took us from the Holston Rivers area of Virginia to the Liffey River in Dublin, Ireland. In November of 2015, 17 E&Hers (faculty, staff, alumni) spent a week in Dublin with side trips to area towns.

Alumni interacted with students who were spending the semester at Dublin City University and also performing community service during their semester abroad. They had a personal tour guide who shared history at every stop, and students and alumni cherished the chance to meet. From pubs to ancient cemeteries, the experiences of the trip gave everyone something to remember. u Photos clockwise: Group photo at Dublin City University with the three E&H students who were studying there.

Lazaro finds success through graciousness

Amanda Lazaro (’14) learned some great lessons in graduate school at Winston-Salem State University: “The most helpful life lesson that I have learned is to always treat others with love and respect. Everyone is doing their best and fighting their own battles. If you can make their day better by being a gracious person, then why not? It will also almost always result in more positive and productive interactions and relationships.”

Amanda graduated from an occupational therapy program in December 2016, and she is a school-based occupational therapist (OT) in Guilford County, North Carolina, working primarily with children who have disabilities. Her goal is to increase their independence and success in all academic endeavors. “Many of the students have diagnoses such as ADHD, Autism or a learning disability. Together with the educational team the OT will modify the environment to accommodate his/her needs, work with the child to develop coping strategies, and strengthen skill areas (such as fine motor/visual motor deficits) that are limiting their success in school.”

Amanda knew a long time ago that this would be her path. During a class her first year at Emory & Henry with career services director, Amanda Gardner, she took a personality inventory and discovered her love for occupational therapy. She says she “began passionately pursuing it by that afternoon!” and established a major in psychology and a minor in biology.

Amanda also credits the service learning model at Emory & Henry for giving her a career boost. “It afforded me many pediatric experiences with a variety of camps and child development centers that I would not have sought out on my own.

It is rare to have such a breadth of opportunities and experience as an undergraduate, and I still have prospective employers comment on it as a strength.” ■

Volk keeps an open mind Mandy Hite Volk (’89) can relate to what the new Emory & Henry Doctor of Physical Therapy students are facing. Mandy was in the first DPT class at Shenandoah University so she knows what it’s like to go through a new program that isn’t formally accredited until the first class has graduated.

“Knowing I was in the first class was exciting and a little nerve-wracking.

I had to have faith that after years of hard work and a lot of studying that the program would be accredited. Thankfully it was. I think being part of the first graduating class really bonded the students and the faculty; we all wanted the program to succeed.”

These days, Mandy is a sought-after physical therapist serving at Good Samaritan Hospital in Baltimore. This isn’t the job on which she initially planned.

She was a business and economics major at Emory & Henry. Because she was unsure of her career plans she thought “a business degree couldn’t be a bad thing to have.”

But as a cheerleader and a volleyball player, she found that she spent rather a lot of her college time in the PT department at Johnston Memorial Hospital.

The director of the PT department at that time was Ed Hill, and he suggested that this might be a good career path for her.

Once she made the decision to go to graduate school for physical therapy, faculty and staff at Emory & Henry worked with Mandy to complete the necessary prerequisites to get her moving in the right direction. “Emory & Henry helped shape me into a better student and a better person.”

Mandy says physical therapy is a great professional field to be in. “It is diverse and allows you opportunities to work with everything from pediatrics to animals to professional athletes to geriatrics and a lot in between. There are so many subspecialties—like women’s health, lymphedema, wound care, vestibular issues­—you can really make your career what you want.”

Her advice to students going into the field now is to stay open to possibilities.

“You should keep your minds open and not just pigeon hole yourselves into one avenue. Allow yourself to step out of your comfort zone and take opportunities to learn new skills and be open to new ideas. It may open your eyes to something unexpected.” ■

Handy known for compassionate care

Dr. Mark Handy (’86) won the 2015 Carl and Ruth Looney Humanitarian Award from the E&H Alumni Association for his commitment to treating patients with care and individual concern.

He finished at Emory & Henry with a bachelor of science degree in biology and graduated from East Carolina School of Medicine and the ETSU Family Residency Program. He is a family medicine practitioner and CEO of William M. Handy, MD, PC in Abingdon, Va., with countless board memberships that oversee hospice and emergency medical care. He is an associate professor of medicine at the University of Virginia.

He also is well known for his work as a musician – playing the banjo and clogging competitively. He was in a Zach Galifianakis video that covered a Kanye West song.

But all accolades aside, he is beloved for his bedside manner.

His southern charm is present in every interaction, and older patients feel particularly special as he calls them “Honey” and “Sweetie.” He makes sure they’ve had a good breakfast and he double checks to make sure they have adequate help at home.

He’s been known to make house calls, is tireless when it comes to checking on patients, and shares his own joy for life with every person he meets and treats.

If you ask Mark what led him to be in medicine you understand why he approaches his job with a huge smile and plenty of heart: “I chose medicine to help provide compassionate and loving care to those who are in need.” ■

Armbrister facilitates groundbreaking collaboration

In August 2001, three nurse practitioners started a free health clinic in Marion, Va., to aid in the access of primary health care to uninsured, low-income individuals.

Fifteen years later the clinic is thriving – serving nearly 2,000 patients­—and just recently achieved a new level of energy that is likely to make it one-of-a-kind in the country.

The director of the Mel Leaman Free Clinic (MLFC) is Michael Armbrister (’99). When you talk with Michael about the clinic he has a lot to share. Michael says he is enthusiastic because of a new relationship with Emory & Henry’s School of Health Sciences (SHS).

The clinic is now located in the building that formerly housed the E&H Doctor of Physical Therapy program, which is now in the renovated Smyth County Community Hospital building (see cover story).

“The clinic was able to relocate to this much larger facility, which increases our patient capacity and allows us to develop dental services. We will also benefit from the E&H Physician Assistant Program faculty who will all volunteer to treat patients.

The MLFC board has expanded our service area to include Smyth, Grayson and Washington counties. And we are working with the school’s faculty to develop physical therapy and occupational therapy services for the clinic’s patients.”

Michael says the idea for the clinic to collaborate with Emory & Henry began with Dr. Scott Richards, chair of the Master of Physician Assistant Program. With a big smile on his face, Michael says, “He serves as a clinical consultant, and his enthusiasm is contagious.”

This collaboration is more than convenient; it is groundbreaking. Michael says many physician assistant (PA) programs don’t provide for hands-on experience until completion of the program. “Being located on the SHS campus in Marion means the MLFC will provide clinical experiences for PA students beginning the first week of the program. We are also working with faculty to develop research ideas for future PA students that will have a direct community benefit.”

Michael majored in geography and environmental studies at Emory & Henry, but he gives credit to his student days and his time as a part-time instructor for the Geography Department and the Appalachian Center for Civic Engagement for influencing his interest in making a difference. “I could not be more excited about our collaboration with Emory & Henry. This creates so many new opportunities for us as well as for the college.” ■

Rinehart pairs nursing with servant leadership

If you ask Holly Childress Rinehart if the new E&H School of Health Sciences is a good idea she bounces back cheerily, saying, “I wish we had had that when we were there!”

Holly finished at Emory & Henry with a double-major in psychology and management and took a healthy dose of biology as she had plans for heading off to physical therapy school.

But along about the time she graduated she lost a family member after a prolonged illness. “After spending so much time in the ICU watching what nurses do, I was hooked.”

Holly ended up in nursing school at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and got an MBA from King University. “Nursing is a very flexible field; you can do anything from home health to school nursing to bedside. And because treatments and processes are always changing, and because no two patients are the same, the job is different every day. It is a constant adventure.” She did bedside nursing for 12 years, and now she is the clinical resource manager for Wellmont’s corporate supply chain office.

She travels to all the Wellmont facilities (from Bristol to Big Stone Gap to Sneedville, Tennessee) and works with buyers, contracting managers and analytics personnel to determine what supplies are needed at each hospital. She’s the only nurse in her office of 15, so that insider knowledge paired with a business degree give her a special edge in the field, and those who work with Holly give her credit for saving the hospital thousands of dollars. But as much as she loves this work she admits that her heart is still with bedside nursing. “It is a field that allows us to give back to the community. Any career that gives us the chance to give to others is a great opportunity for servant leadership.” ■

In a tribute written by his former student, Dr. Toby Applegate (’92) talked of how Dr. Griffin’s often gruff manner pushed him to be a better thinker, a better student, and, now, a better professor (at University of Massachusetts-Amherst). “I was an acolyte of Dr. Griffin. I learned that once you made it through the Sturm und Drang of the character he played for freshmen you found a rather nice, gentle man with a titanic sense of humor, a massive taste for hard to taste things, and a tremendous capacity to forgive. If I did not understand something in my chosen major, philosophy, I would ask Ben Letson or Ed Damer. If I still needed another perspective, I would ask Griffin and he would know where to push me. While I took several courses with him, including German language courses, I learned as much outside of class from him as I did in class.” He is survived by a daughter Barbara Griffin Harrington.

Hildegard Maria Bartels Roth, Heidelberg, Germany, died Aug. 28, 2013.

She was a former assistant professor for the German Department at Emory & Henry. She received the 1970 Excellence in Teaching Award from the student body of Emory & Henry.

Save the Duck Pond The goal is in sight and we need your support! Emory & Henry’s iconic Duck Pond must be rebuilt to ensure it will endure as a space for quiet reflection, a gathering spot for events and festivities, and the campus place that recalls the historic founding of the College. We’re already two-thirds of the way to our fundraising goal of $600,000! With your help today we can get there!

— Henry C. Dawson, Jr. ’62

We’ve listened to your suggestions for improving the Duck Pond’s design to reflect a smaller profile for the gazebo and founders plaza, thereby ensuring a compatibility of beauty, history, access and utility for alumni
