outdoor adventure for high schoolers
from the president Within just a few days of beginning work here as president, I was deeply engaged in issues that extend well beyond this friendly, beautiful and historic campus. During a visit to Marion, Va., where Emory & Henry will soon begin a School of Health Sciences, I was discussing challenges in health care for both this region and our nation. In nearby Glade Spring, Va., while working with students and college employees on service projects, I participated in discussions about small-community economic development and revitalization. Back on campus, during meetings with students, I am engaged in wideranging discussions about our world, from race relations in this country to economic and social challenges abroad. This is Emory & Henry. It is not just a college; it is a way of life. It is a way of thinking and a way of acting. When you become a part of this community you step onto a platform from which you see the world both in greater sums and smaller integers. From this powerful vantage point, you are challenged and motivated to shape the world into something better and more promising for the next person who rises to this standpoint. So who are the people who come to this place to stand, to survey, to think and to act? Among our incoming students this year is Andrew Siva from Florida, who has pursued numerous projects in environmental sustainability; Ali Hillman, who worked as a volunteer first responder for medical teams serving events in Boston; Devin Brown, a football player who served in the U.S. Marines before coming to Emory & Henry; Jessica Richardson of Florida, who comes to us with a highly successful high school swimming career; and Taylor Dare Bates, who spent a year between high school and college living and learning in France. The individuals who have joined us come ready to enhance their facility for exploration, critical thinking and creative servant leadership. At Emory & Henry they will greatly enrich their lives through experiences and follow in the paths of such current students as junior Olivia Bailey, who just completed an internship with CNN; senior Colin Christensen, whose legal research attracted the attention of national media; sophomore Ferris Ellis, a software designer who recently completed an internship with one of the nation’s top website hosting companies; and Steven Michaluk, who spent the summer in South America doing mission work. The new students eventually will go beyond this unique place to join a long list of E&H graduates who have served with distinction both their fields and their communities. Such alumni include this year’s commencement speaker, Toni Atkins, a member of the E&H Class of 1984 who serves as speaker of the California State Assembly; Robbie Thomas, E&H Class of 2001, a member of the U.S. State Department who recently served as manager of the operations center for the U.S. secretary of state; Dove Davis, Class of 2006, a videographer for National Geographic Magazine; and Jamal Crowell, a 2010 E&H graduate and professional actor. The quality of our new, current and former students is part of an equation that adds up to great possibilities for this institution. Perhaps no moment in the College’s history is as ripe with hope as this. With a faculty recognized as one of the best in the country serving at an institution honored by the president of the United States for community engagement and praised for the excellence of its facilities, the people of Emory & Henry College are thinking and acting in bold, new ways. What this thought and action will lead to will be revealed in time, but our zest for and commitment to this place promises to give this College a more influential role in matters that shape our world and the destinies of our students. There’s a gathering sense that Emory & Henry, one of the top liberal arts institutions in the nation, has an even larger calling. With inspiration, perspiration and transformation, we will answer that call. Sincerely,
Jake B. Schrum President

The Washington Monthly rankings have taken on greater importance this year in the wake of President Obama’s call for better higher education ranking systems. Obama advocates for a system that ranks institutions based on value and performance. The Washington Monthly rankings have been widely seen as doing just that. A Washington Post article published Tuesday, Aug. 27, points out how the Monthly has argued for years that conventional measures of college prestige are far less important than what colleges do for the country. In the Post article, Paul Glastris, the Monthly’s editor-in-chief, said he was pleased that President Obama seems to be endorsing measures of college quality based on institutions’ abilities to change lives and improve society. “It doesn’t happen every day that an administration does exactly what you want,” Glastris said. The Washington Monthly rankings place high value on an institution’s promotion of upward social mobility, research and public service as well as other metrics, such as graduation rate and quality of faculty.

Dear Friends, Where will we see you? The E&H Alumni Association is busy putting together some exciting plans for regional events, and we hope you will mark your calendars and plan to be part of the action. These events will not only be entertaining, but they will give you a chance to learn a little about history, the environment, literature, etc. Our summer alumni college, More Than A Vacation (MTAV), just celebrated its 20th anniversary, and this year’s regional events are a bit of a salute to the great programming organized annually for that event. If you’ve never made it to MTAV, now you can get a taste of what you’ve been missing by attending one of these great regional events. And if you want to attend MTAV but can only do one day of the four-day event, we’re organizing a great Saturday on Aug. 2 that will give you plenty of good reasons to head to Emory! See details at www.alumni.ehc.edu. Also, if these regional events aren’t in your zip code, why not gather up the family and plan a road trip? Check out the list on page 27 and start making your plans! The E&H Alumni Board of Directors is proud to find more and more ways for alumni to stay in touch with each other, stay informed about the College, and pursue learning for a lifetime. We look forward to sharing these experiences with you, so…. Where will we see you? Jenny Poston Bishop President, E&H Alumni Association P.S. Homecoming is Oct. 25, 2014 Front Cover: Corbet, N.Y.

Deeply rooted values and mission lead to collaboration
The Rensselaerville Effect by Tim W. Jackson
Jim Wallace is a Washington County native. Back in 1963 when he was in elementary school, his father, Bob, became the maintenance supervisor at Emory & Henry College, so the family packed up and moved from Glade Spring to Emory and lived in campus housing.
“I had a very interesting perspective on what college was all about having observed and
interacted with so many E&H students and staff through that experience, and that was very rewarding,” Wallace said.
Wallace (’75) graduated from Emory & Henry, received a master’s degree from the University
of Tennessee, and spent his professional career in Southwest Virginia. Now he has returned to Emory & Henry to serve as practitioner in residence through a partnership between Emory & Henry’s Appalachian Center for Civic Life and The Rensselaerville Institute (TRI), a think tank from Delmar, N. Y., for which he also will serve as a senior fellow.
Wallace’s relationship with TRI first began in 1997 when he worked for the Virginia Department
of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). He attended a conference in Washington, D.C., where he heard then TRI President Hal Williams and officials from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs discuss a pilot program being undertaken in Texas based on TRI’s Small Town Environment Program (STEP).
“My boss at DHCD wanted to take a look at undertaking a similar program in Virginia,”
Wallace said. “After a trip he and I took to Texas to observe their program more closely, we decided to try it in Virginia. We called our program Self-Help Virginia, and it turned out to be very successful. To date, 46 Self-Help Virginia projects across the Commonwealth have been completed.”
Wallace said that overseeing the Self-Help Virginia program was the most rewarding aspect of
his 22-year tenure with the DHCD. Hal Williams, now semi-retired and a senior fellow at TRI, wanted to reinvigorate the STEP program. He contacted Wallace about doing it and also advancing the principals of a program known as Community Sparkplugs.
“That conversation ultimately led to the collaboration with Emory & Henry somewhat by
happenstance,” Wallace said. “We were looking for college students to do some initial research this
6 / WINTER 2014 / E&H Alumni Magazine
spring and, on behalf of TRI, I went to Tal Stanley in the Appalachian Center to see if he could help out. In the process, the idea of an E&H-TRI collaborative was hatched.”
The Appalachian Center for Civic Life (formerly Appalachian Center
for Community Service) is to be one of the means by which the College fulfills its mission of joining education with service to this place, the region, and the world. Meanwhile, Wallace said that TRI refers to itself as a “Think Tank with Muddy Boots.” “This stems from the fact that it goes into the field and actually implements its ideas and ideals,” Wallace said.
The Community Sparkplugs initiative is one whereby the Institute believes that people are the critical link to solving their problems and that, in many instances, there are ways to marshal their energy and commitment to implement projects in a faster and more efficient way than is the case using conventional methods. Tal Stanley, director of the Appalachian Center, said that there is a deep resonance between the values and mission of The Rensselaerville Institute and Emory & Henry College. “In almost two centuries of shaping and educating leaders for the American republic, Emory & Henry has become a college with ‘muddy boots,’” Stanley said. Current TRI President Gillian Williams said she is excited about working with Emory & Henry folks on the curriculum on community change. “The College has an amazing body of work—in research and writings and service learning projects,” Williams said. “There’s so much to read and learn from. It’s inspiring and exciting.”
The essence of the TRI-E&H partnership is a two-year collaborative
in which the Institute and College will work together to expand certain initiatives of the institute. These will primarily, but not exclusively, be centered around TRI’s Community Sparkplugs initiative.
“The Community Sparkplugs initiative is one whereby the Institute
believes that people are the critical link to solving their problems and that, in many instances, there are ways to marshal their energy and commitment to implement projects in a faster and more efficient way than is the case using conventional methods,” Wallace said.
This leads back to the aforementioned Small Town Environment
Program. “In the STEP model, small rural communities use volunteer labor to construct water projects to serve their communities,” Wallace said. continued
Wallace’s Self-Help Virginia program, based on the TRI model, helped the Shute Hollow community in Giles County. Pictured right is then Governor, now U.S. Senator, Mark Warner, who joined workers on the project. A similar project was conducted in Big Spraddle Branch in Dickenson County, pictured above.

Stump Creek, Pennsylvania In 1973, the New York Times advertised the sale of a dying company town called Stump Creek in Western Pennsylvania in which tenants did not own their homes. An intrigued and entrepreneurial Institute Board of Trustees approved the purchase of the town for $175,000. Ninety of the one hundred homes did not have indoor plumbing. The Institute engaged the citizens and worked alongside them as they rebuilt homes and created a viable water source. Following the rebuilding of the community with the help of grants, the Institute sold the homes to the tenants, enabling them to become homeowners.

for the people and places with which we work, we are convinced this collaborative has the potential to help reshape American higher education for the public good.” Building directly on its place-based mission to combine learning, citizenship and service, Emory & Henry students and faculty will work with communities to address community-identified needs, locally, across Virginia, throughout the Appalachian region, and even nationally. Likewise, people working in local communities can come to Emory & Henry for continuing education seminars, enroll in the College’s master’s program in Community and Organizational Leadership, and participate in online learning.

The mission statement: The Rensselaerville Institute is “The Think Tank With Muddy Boots.” We achieve clear and quantifiable outcomes for human gain by training, supporting, and partnering with the innovators who are the sparkplugs for change. Currently we do this with nonprofits, schools, communities, universities, corporations, foundations, and government agencies. Our mission is not simply an idea, but rather a tangible promise whose results are seen in people and places throughout the country. E&H Alumni Magazine / WINTER 2014 / 9

Justin Dillon Addresses MLK Gathering
Justin Dillon (top) and members of the Concert Choir.
Slavery might seem like only a topic in a history textbook, but the goal of this year’s Emory & Henry’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Celebration held Jan. 20 was to raise participants’ awareness of slavery in our modern world by revealing the many ways in which it exists today. As the sun streamed through the stained glass windows in Memorial Chapel, the Concert Choir offered two moving musical selections, including U2’s “MLK.” The keynote given by artist, entrepreneur and abolitionist Justin Dillon followed. Speaking to a capacity crowd, Dillon identified how the American culture unknowingly continues to enslave others through lifestyle and consumer choices. Dillon has spent most of his life as a singer-songwriter touring the world and working with such companies as Universal, WB, and Capitol Records. His music has appeared in films and on several television networks, such as MTV and CBS, as well as on records with other artists such as John Mayer and Red Hot Chili Peppers. In 2008, he made his directorial debut in the film, “CALL+RESPONSE.” This “rockumentary” film was theatrically distributed and became one of that year’s top documentaries. The film combined commentary by social luminaries, such as Cornel West, Madeleine Albright and Nicholas Kristof with musical performances by artists such as Moby, Natasha Bedingfield, Cold War Kids and Matisyahu. Partnering with the U.S. State Department in 2011, Dillon launched a multiple-award-winning website, Slavery Footprint, that asks the question, “How Many Slaves Work For You?” The website and associated mobile app, allow consumers to visualize how their consumption habits are connected to modern-day slavery and provide them with an opportunity to have a conversation with the companies that manufacture the goods they purchase. Last year, President Obama acknowledged his organization’s work in his speech on slavery to the Clinton Global Initiative. Numerous breakout sessions related to specific forms of slavery, both historical and modern included such topics as Biblical slavery, human trafficking, slavery The Emory & Henry community gathered in November on the lawn of Memorial Chapel to commemorate the 50th in Ghana, slavery in Washington County, anniversary of the March on Washington, during which the E&H’s ties to slavery, as well as fair trade Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous “I Have food, clothing and electronics. t a Dream” speech.
With a standing-room-only crowd looking on, an agreement was signed in January between Emory & Henry College and the Rensselaerville Institute, New York, which has the potential to help reshape American higher education for the public good, according to officials from both institutions. Jimmy Wallace heads up the effort, along with Tal Stanley and the Appalachian Center, serving as practitioner in residence at Emory & Henry and as a senior fellow at the Institute. Wallace is pictured, left, speaking at the signing ceremony. For more information on the collaborative, see the feature article on page 4.

ON THE CAMPUS
Pam Gourley, vice president for student life and dean of students for the College, received the highest state award a student affairs professional can win—the 2013 Outstanding Professional Award—from the Virginia Association of Student Personnel Administrators. In addition, Kyle Cutshaw, area coordinator, was awarded the highest state honor for a student affairs professional—the Deb Boykin Outstanding Professional Award for 2013 from the Virginia College and University Housing Officers Association. Brett Sample, area coordinator and director of intramurals, won the Award of Merit from the Virginia Recreational Sports Association also this past fall. Other recent award-winners in the Office of Student Life are Todd Clark, associate dean of students, who won the James E. Scott Outstanding Mid-Level Student Affairs Professional Award from the National Association of Student Personnel Administrator Region III this past summer, and Jimmy Whited, director of housing, won the PEACE Award (Providing Educational Advocacy for Cultural Excellence) from the Southeastern Association of Housing Officers in Spring 2013. t
The designation as a top military-friendly school is an endorsement of the hard work the College has applied to helping veterans begin or complete their higher education goals, whether they are seeking a bachelor’s degree or a graduate degree, such as the Doctor of Physical Therapy or M.A. in Education. Emory & Henry has been approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs as a member of the national Yellow Ribbon program, and also gives college credit for professional training earned by veterans while on active duty. Beyond programs and academic support for student veterans, Emory & Henry demonstrates a deep commitment to honoring those who have served in the military. t

Two Professors Win Statewide Honors for Teaching
In November, E&H English professor Scott Boltwood was named the 2013 Virginia Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). The award, which is given annually to one professor from each state, is widely considered the most prestigious teaching award in all of higher education. In January, a second major award—the 2014 Virginia Outstanding Faculty Award—was given to Dr. Michael Lane, E&H professor of chemistry. Sponsored by the State Council for Higher Education in Virginia (SCHEV), the honor recognizes professors who have made significant contributions in the areas of teaching, research and the integration of research in the classroom. Dr. Scott Boltwood has become a leading expert on the 40-year religious conflict in Northern Ireland. The reputation he has built from this area of study contributed to his selection as the 2013 Carnegie Foundation Virginia Professor of the Year. Boltwood, who travelled to Washington, D.C., to accept his award, praised the E&H community for its encouragement of teaching excellence. “While I am proud that my accomplishments can serve as examples for my students and colleagues, I recognize that the time I take to advise, teach and mentor encourages everyone in my college community to maintain their faith in their own worth and to recognize the attainability of their dreams,” he said. Boltwood, a Cornell University graduate who received his Ph.D. in English from the University of Virginia in 1996, said he is drawn to teaching the type of students who attend liberal arts colleges, especially those who attend Scott Boltwood
Emory & Henry. E&H President Jake Schrum said the E&H
community has tremendous respect for Boltwood and his passion for both his students and his scholarship. “Professor Boltwood believes that the combination of his work in the classroom and in his academic writing is the most important calling that he could have found. Whether he’s preparing students (his ‘junior colleagues’ as he calls them) for their lives and careers, or he’s seeking to restore the forgotten playwright Patricia O’Connor to Irish theater history, he approaches his work like a man with a mission.” Boltwood’s understanding of the history of the conflict in Northern Ireland has come largely through his groundbreaking pursuit of Irish theatre studies. Through that research approach, he has become an expert in the conflict’s foundations, its toll on the Irish people, its impact on the culture, its international implications and its lessons.

audiences and the world beyond the stage. t
He returned to Emory & Henry to teach out of a desire to give back to his alma mater and a commitment to help more young people find success in the sciences. “I find many students reluctant to believe in themselves and their abilities and perhaps not feeling worthy of success,” Lane said. “They often fail to connect to their potential and, therefore, the opportunities they have in the sciences. So I endeavor, in the spirit of this College, to raise their self-awareness and to increase that excellence.” Among his students, Lane has built a dynamic research group focused on the role of interfacial chemistry in determining properties of complex systems.

Christensen Featured for second time on CNN For the second time in less than a year, Emory & Henry College student Colin Christensen has appeared on national television to share his opinion on a national headline story. Christensen appeared on CNN as a panelist weighing in on the jury verdict of Michael Dunn, the Florida man accused of shooting an unarmed teenager to death during a dispute over loud music. Dunn was found guilty of four charges, but the jury was unable to reach a decision on the top count, first-degree murder. As Christensen watched live coverage of the verdict on Feb. 15, he felt that many of the panelists were missing some important points. “It was clear that the legal analysts were missing several key and controversial implications of the Florida Stand Your Ground law—namely, the ways in which it abrogates the doctrine of proportionality in acts of selfdefense,” said Christensen. Next thing he knew, Christensen found himself emailing the CNN producer with whom he worked on his previous appearance. Christensen shared his thoughts on the legal analysis of the issue. Additionally, he sent the producer a copy of his article on Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground issues, which were published in the Columbia Undergraduate Law Review, to help illustrate his point more clearly. “I thought that the issue was one that needed national attention, and perhaps more importantly, a young and informed perspective on the issue from members of my generation,” said Christensen. Less than 24 hours later, he was sitting in front of the camera at the Washington, D.C., bureau preparing for national television interview. In his first television appearance last July, Christensen was one of three students nationally who discussed the Trayvon Martin case. Christensen feels it is vital to spotlight both the Martin and Davis cases to help ensure that some sense of good can come from their tragic and untimely deaths. t
Three faculty members of the Emory & Henry College Theatre Department have won Meritorious Achievement Awards from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) for their work on the fall 2013 shows “Talley’s Folly” and “Into the Woods.” Professor Dan Wheeler won for excellence in design for both shows, and two directors, Drs. Kelly Bremner and Andrew Blasenak, won for excellence in directing. Sophomore Osama Ashour competed in the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship competition and was selected for the semi-final round of 32 out of a field of 210 students. He and sophomore McKinley Hughes received strong praise for their performance of a scene from Rajiv Joseph’s “Gruesome Playground Injuries.” Sophomore Jessica Hughes was nominated for the Student Dramaturgy Award, and worked on a 10-minute play which won for best playwright and director. t
Math Professor Awarded Fellowship
Dr. Xiaoxue Li, an E&H mathematics professor, has been honored by the Appalachian College Association (ACA) for research she is conducting in environmental mathematical modeling. She was awarded a post-doctoral faculty fellowship for $6,000 to continue her study of mathematical modeling as a means of understanding threats to the environment. The award will enable Li to travel to Australia where she will collaborate with Dr. Yun Li, principal research scientist at the Division of Mathematical and Information Sciences of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO). Li, who began teaching at Emory & Henry in 2007, holds a doctoral degree from Lehigh University. t
Trumpet Ensemble Honored
The Emory & Henry College Trumpet Ensemble has been selected to perform at the 2014 International Trumpet Guild Conference, a prestigious event that attracts the best trumpet performers from colleges and universities in the United States and abroad. The conference, which will be held in May at Valley Forge, Pa., is known for including schools with the strongest instrumental music programs. International institutions that have often participated in the conference include the Lyon Conservatoire in France and the Escola Superior de Music e Artes do Espetaco in Spain. The E&H musicians who will be attending the conference include the following: Shelby Carico, a sophomore, Norton, Va.; Aaron Gillespie, a senior from Bluefield, Va.; Stephanie Edwards, a sophomore from Cleveland, Va.; Chris Gillenwaters, a first-year student from Oak Ridge, Tenn.; and Jordan Bennett, a first-year student from Johnson CIty, Tenn.

That’s a daunting figure, but something we could never accomplish without the help of our volunteers. Through a network of nearly 130 partner agencies we are able to strengthen our community by providing services otherwise unavailable. Our most recent project available to volunteers is helping in an on-site garden. Feeding America has been working on gathering donations to construct a teaching garden that will provide fresh produce for our soup kitchen. This past summer, 21 Emory & Henry students volunteered at Feeding America. Eight of those students diligently worked outside digging new raised garden beds. Despite the shoveling, leveling and dirt pouring, they remained enthusiastic. They reminded me how much I enjoy working with volunteers because their hard work and positive attitudes are contagious. Within three hours the students had constructed the beginning framework necessary for the garden beds. Students worked outside in the garden and also sorted through donated items in our salvage room. The items they sorted were ready to hand over to an agency to distribute in the community. The third group of students prepared a meal in our soup kitchen to give to their fellow students. They witnessed first-hand the difficulties of preparing large quantities of food in a small kitchen and with limited donated items. At the end of the work day, all three groups reconvened and shared a meal together. On average we have more than 100 volunteers at our facility each month. Numerous opportunities are available to

Donor Stewardship Practices to be Re-evaluated In addition to introducing in next fiscal year the family of funds gift designations, the ways and means by which the College recognizes and salutes its many donors are being reconsidered. “We need to be aware of changing sensibilities as the College stewards its generous donors,” said vice president of institutional advancement, Joseph Taylor. “Donors appreciate being thanked in a myriad of ways, but they let us know that they don’t want the College to expend too much of its precious resources in expressing its gratitude.” In that light, Emory & Henry, as well as universities and colleges nationwide are being careful to be sure they are acknowledging contributors appropriately.
Donors whose gifts already afford them the privilege, for instance, of naming a facility or an endowed scholarship fund may not want or feel a need to also attend a donor dinner. In addition, it is becoming prevalent for many of America’s community foundations that channel the gifts of contributors through donor advised funds to insist that recipient institutions do not offer their donors any recognition items or event invitations that have a monetary value. “We’re definitely keeping abreast of evolving national trends in this important area of donor stewardship, even as we continue to be keenly attentive to the feelings and wishes of those on whose kind philanthropy we rely,” said Taylor.

Three fundraising professionals have joined the Emory & Henry Office of Institutional Advancement during the past year. They include Larry Foster (’81), senior advancement associate; Erin Hadary, director of foundations and corporate relations; and Ronan King, director of annual giving. An Abingdon, Va., resident with extensive experience in sales management and marketing, Foster is responsible for developing relationships on behalf of the College with alumni and friends and securing significant philanthropic support from individuals and organizations for the institution. Prior to joining the E&H advancement staff, Foster worked as a sales manager for LifeTime Composites, a manufacturer of non-wood composite products. Before that he worked for seven years in sales and marketing for Royal Group, a vinyl-based building materials division of Georgia Gulf Corporation. Hadary works to identify and facilitate grant-writing opportunities to enhance the economic strength of the College.

E&H Signs Intention to Develop Optometry School Officials from Emory & Henry College and the Appalachian College of Optometry signed an agreement in February signaling their intention to work together toward the development of a school of optometry in Grundy. The agreement formalizes an effort to achieve accreditation for the school, which would be required before the school could begin admitting students. Pending accreditation, the name of the optometry school would be changed to reflect its function as a branch campus of Emory & Henry. The school would be located in a three-story, 38,000-square-foot facility consisting of modern classrooms, seminar rooms and office space. The building originally was constructed as the founding educational campus of the Appalachian College of Pharmacy. By creating a school of optometry, officials with the two institutions hope to meet a large need both for education in
the field and for accessible, quality eye care in the region. Currently, the two closest schools of optometry are the University of Alabama’s School of Optometry in Birmingham and The Ohio State University’s College of Optometry in Columbus. Optometry is a four-year doctorate degree. Some optometry students perform an optometric residency after graduation (typically a one-year residence program), while some will go directly into practice. Since the 1970s, the scope of practice for optometrists has increased dramatically to include the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, including glaucoma. According to a feasibility study, by year two the school would be responsible for 131 jobs, including 32 employees working for the school. That number would grow to 325 jobs in year nine, including 62 employees employed by the school. t
Scholarship Fund Honors Leota and Eugene ‘Jack’ Diggs A scholarship fund honoring Leota Coe Diggs and Eugene Edwin “Jack” Diggs has been established at Emory & Henry by daughter Jean Diggs Williams, E&H Class of 1954, and her husband, John King Williams. According to Jean, her mother drove a Model T to Emory & Henry, which she attended for two years before becoming a teacher. Jean’s father was highly engaged in his community. The parents inspired Jean to become a teacher and to serve others. “Now is the time for John and me to help other students,” Jean said. “My parents would be very humbled to know that we are honoring them in this way.” Scholarships from the fund will be awarded annually to any qualified undergraduate E&H student, first-year or above,
who demonstrates financial need. Preference for awarding the scholarship will be given in the following order: students majoring in mathematics; students involved in community service; and any qualified undergraduate E&H student. Cole Conley, an E&H student majoring in mathematics, praised the Williams’ generosity in establishing the scholarship fund. “This provides a huge reward to people who are willing and able to do great things in the field of math,” he said. Jean reflected on the many positive influences she experienced while a student at Emory & Henry, including favorite professors, the E&H Concert Choir, chapel services and social functions. “Emory & Henry was great then and it is great now,” she said. t

Kyle Boden isn’t the normal college quarterback.
He’s not even the normal Division III college quarterback. Frankly, he’s not a normal student either. Kyle Boden is part of what makes Emory & Henry special; he is a true scholar-athlete.
A three-year starter for the Wasps, the Knoxville, Tenn.,
native put up impressive numbers both on the field and in the classroom. He finished his career with five school records and is among the program’s top five in multiple other categories. His accomplishments as a signal-caller earned him 2013 All-ODAC Third-Team recognition and also a spot on The Roanoke Times AllState Second Team.
Boden was named the ODAC/Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar-
Athlete of the Year and a Capital One Academic All-America Second Teamer in both his junior and senior seasons. He also earned Academic All-District accolades in three straight years, the most possible for any player.
It wasn’t just athletes from which Boden set himself apart; he
boasts one of the best grade point averages on campus and was a finalist for the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship, which would have covered his expenses for a graduate degree at England’s Oxford University. While he did not earn the scholarship, it was the first time in 109 years that an Emory & Henry student has reached the finalist level.
Boden is also a leader among the student body as he is a
member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the Hermesian Debate Society and the Blue Key Honor Society. Among his honors, Boden served as the student representative on the College’s Presidential Search Committee.

Sophomore Pierce Moreland had a team-high three goals and tallied both matchwinners for the Wasps. Junior Kenny Sterne notched three assists and added a goal while senior Zach James and sophomore Tory Schneider scored two goals of their own.

Women’s Soccer survived tough battles The Emory & Henry Women’s Soccer Team battled both a tough schedule and injuries throughout the season. The Wasps finished ninth in the conference, barely missing out on a third-straight appearance in the ODAC Tournament. After opening the season 0-7, Emory & Henry picked up four wins and two ties in ODAC play to finish 4-12-2 (4-6-2) on the year. Seven of the team’s losses came by two or fewer goals as the Wasps were in the match every time they stepped on the pitch. Junior Erica Merriman and first-year student Willow Hubbard were named to the all-conference third team, marking the first time since 2006 that an Emory & Henry player received All-ODAC honors. Merriman led the squad with three goals and three assists while senior Jessi Biggs scored a team-high four goals. Senior Ashlie Caldwell netted three goals and an assist on the year, including a pair of match winners. Sophomores Blair Vaughn and Natalie Bright and first-year Erin Kirk each found the scoring column for Emory & Henry as well. Senior Sarah Jerome led the E&H goalkeepers with 1,421:33 minutes played over 16 matches. She made 107 saves and tallied three wins on four shutouts. t

The Wasps finished sixth in the league to keep their streak of qualifying for the postseason alive for 21 years. E&H was paced this season by a pair of all-league performers in senior Nicole Tesh and first-year Tristen Pennington. Tesh totaled 239 kills for the season, establishing a new top mark for career kills (969) en route to being named All-ODAC First Team and the VaSID All-State Second Team. She also led the team in hitting percentage (.280) and total blocks (58). Pennington led the Wasps in kills with 305, added 272 digs and was voted as the ODAC’s Rookie of the Year. She also earned all-league second-team honors and was the only player in the conference to reach the 25-kill mark in a match all season. Junior Maleah Neely tallied 654 assists, 152 digs and 29 service aces while senior Kelly Mae Kerlin registered team-highs with 381 digs and 45 service aces from her libero position.

Blessings Born of a Curse
alumni
feature
The origins of Annabelle’s Curse lie in the beautiful and tumultuous times of post-graduation at Emory & Henry College. The original three members, Tim Kilbourne (’08), Zack Edwards (’12) and John Warren Watson chose to scrape their money together to buy an upright bass to use as they played on the porch of Kilbourne’s farm house. They decided to name the bass Annabelle because of its inherent beauty and ladylike curves. That woman got them off to a rough start. With the help of manager Richard Graves (’08) the band started promoting its first few local shows on the college and community radio station, WEHC 90.7 FM. The night of their first show, Annabelle cracked her head on the State Street border of Bristol, Tenn. and Bristol, Va, when her carrying case malfunctioned. The neck split vertically leaving only the bottom two strings playable, but the show went on.
Soon afterward, the bass, which was leaning against a wall, rolled over and crashed through a window. Two shows later, the back of the instrument separated from the body, with the help of some serious playing. Echoing the physical tribulations of the instruments, the founding members experienced difficulty in their personal lives. Girlfriends left, struggles came, but everyone could see that something special was starting to happen. The music and the brotherhood they were creating became their support system through their personal trials. There was a growing sense that Annabelle, a thing of beauty, was cursed. At the same time, however, there was a feeling that she was actually blessed—with the capacity to strengthen bonds in the face of challenges. She also had blessed the band with a theme to their music—facing trials and overcoming struggles.
The band released its debut album, “Monsters,” in 2011 and cultivated a following, growing the name and its fan base over the next few years. The musicians found a new start in November 2012 when they were joined by Carly Booher and Travis Goyette. With the two new members, the group set out to record a new sound. Taking up an offer from David Mayfield to act as producer, the band traveled to SUMA Studios in Ohio to record a second full-length album, “Hollow Creature.” Released June 18, 2013, the album was fully funded by family, friends, and fans—a testament to the support they receive from the community. Describing Annabelle’s Curse’s sound is a constant challenge. While Alternative Folk would probably be the best fit, the songs and sounds challenge it as something original. The music is lyrically based with an obvious attention to the highs and lows of the human condition. The dynamics of many songs incorporate soft and sweet melodies that build and compliment the danceable, fast, fun energy. Shows almost always feature acoustic and electric guitar, banjo (often electric instead of regular), bass (they have moved on from their first love of upright), an army of effects pedals, drums, mandolin and the occasional keyboard. Audience participation is often requested and enthusiastically received. Michael Doherty of The Music Log, a music review blog, was on point when he said, “These songs also make truly
interesting use of traditional folk instruments. Though this album fits somewhat under the general category of folk, it is often surprising when some of the traditional folk instruments come in. Perhaps that’s because there is nothing really traditional about these songs, nothing really ordinary. This band has its own distinct sound, so that you almost expect new instruments to have been invented to perform these tracks.” Annabelle’s Curse’s sound has been influenced by a diverse array of artists. Says Edwards, a guitarist, “We all come from very diverse backgrounds, including bluegrass, hardcore, folk, experimental and even electronic music. We try to take what we all love individually about music and fit it into our own unique sound. We have some favorite artists that we look up to: Dr. Dog, Bon Iver, Macklemore, LCD Soundsystem, Josh Ritter, Edward Sharpe, and Langhorne Slim—just to name a few. We stand on the shoulders of giants; it is our hope to create something that expands on the work they have put in to push the art even further and make it our own.” In a short time, Annabelle’s Curse has crafted a seamless sound that cuts boundaries and blurs the lines of traditional genres. Their energy is infectious. The members are best friends bordering on family, together struggling through adversity and enjoying triumphs. They pour their passions into their music and into each other, doing exactly what they are meant to do.

More Than A Vacation Celebrates 20th Anniversary
Emory & Henry’s annual summer alumni college, More Than A Vacation, passed the 20-year milestone this summer. Participants enjoyed events that ranged from a play at the Barter Theatre and a trip to Wolf Hills Brewery to a presentation on economics with E&H faculty member Dr. Linda Dobkins.

Life at “The Takin’ It Easy” has been anything but easy.
she is looking forward to the day when some beautiful horses can find solace on her property.
Anne Fleming (’68) had a great idea. She wanted to build a little farm and stables for horses that needed a home. Anne has been a horse woman her whole life and she knows well that some horses aren’t loved as fully and thoroughly as her horses; some are abused, some are neglected, and some reach the end of their usefulness and simply have no good options. Anne has a big heart about this need and wanted to create a place where animals in need could be loved and well-tended.
So she got busy with plans to build “The Takin’ It Easy” farm. It includes 17 acres of beautiful pasture land and a barn so nice that anyone would be happy to move in – not to mention any horse. For a time, construction woes provided challenges (Anne jokes that she needs to change the name of the place to “The Disaster!”) Now, however, plans are starting to come together in this beautiful spot in Washington County, Virginia, and Rose Neese Houk, Galax High School volleyball and track coach of 31 years, was named the 2012-2013 Sport Professional of the Year for the 13 state Southern District of AAHPERD (American Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance) at the National P.E. Convention in Charlotte, N.C. in April 2013. The award is for dedication, commitment, leadership and enthusiasm to the sport profession. Since her retirement from coaching after the 2012 season, she also received other awards,
The idea for such a place solidified when her horse was struck by lightning and killed while she lived in Florida. She had long wanted to open a place to care for horses, but the horrible death of her horse reminded her that a safe house for horses probably couldn’t happen where she was living. A Bristol, Virginia, native, Anne spent more than 30 years living in Florida. “Central Florida,” she says, “is a really dangerous location for lightning. After my Arabian was killed, I knew I needed to do this project back in Virginia.”
Anne is an English saddle seat rider and has been around horses since she took riding lessons at Sullins College as a child. Although she does not own a horse at the moment, she is involved in the Tri-State Arabian Horse Association. She is looking forward to finding another Arabian to be part of her family and to get her back in the saddle. But more than anything she looks forward to having a barn filled with horses that need her love and attention. After battling construction mishaps, Johnson grass, and lightning strikes, caring for needy horses will surely feel like “takin’ it easy.”

Eric Smith
and the Art of Political Science Dr. Eric Drummond Smith (’98) says his mother sent him to art lessons when he was a kid, but he only went for about a month. “The teacher wanted me to draw flowers and houses and….ugh….that’s just not what I’m supposed to do. I’m supposed to make semi-anthropomorphic octopi debating Nietzsche.”
His art was influenced early on by scientific drawings he saw in an encyclopedia when he was a kid, and he so especially enjoyed trying to recreate drawings of dinosaurs that he considered being a paleontological illustrator. Most of Eric’s dinosaurs today, however, are shown drinking beer. “That’s why they’re all dead,” says Dr. Smith. “Liver damage.”
Art is a huge part of Eric’s world, but he is actually an assistant professor of political science at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise who is WCYB TV-5’s most-watched commentator on election days.
He’s been told he can explain complex political concepts in an impartial manner. “Political scientists need to stay aloof from the doing of politics in order to be a resource to others about politics.” He especially enjoys talking to high school students about questions that don’t seem to get answered by news outlets or their normal curriculum. A prolific reader, writer, creator, Eric has not only found an outlet through blogging, but also a following. His blog, “Ask a Political Scientist,” which is barely a year old and found at www. askapoliticalscientist.com, has just under 30,000 hits.
Lately, Eric has taken on an additional project, using spare time he can’t spare to promote a scholarship in honor of two good friends who died recently, Steven Reed (’00) and Seth Vidal (’98). Hoping that the scholarship will bear their names, he says, “I love the notion that they will be remembered…not because they were rich or famous, but because they did good things in the world and served as good role models for all of us.”
CLASS NOTES
Ironically, Eric had his own close encounter with death recently when he contracted an autoimmune disorder (aplastic anemia). He had planned for his death, putting his affairs in order and reaching out to those who mattered most in his life, before he was joyfully surprised with the news that Vanderbilt doctors had developed a plan of action that saved his life, an experimental treatment written up in several medical journal articles.
When the worst was over, Eric threw himself a wake and celebrated life with his best friends. “You only get so many years of life,” says Smith. “People should be good…be nice to each other...laugh a lot…and not waste time on stupid things and cruelty. And I don’t understand people who say they are bored! There are a billion things to do! Get a magnifying glass and go look at a blade of grass – you won’t be bored anymore!”
Prints of Eric’s art can be seen and purchased at the website, and proceeds from pieces featuring Emory & Henry (don’t miss the sorority and fraternity prints) are being donated to the scholarship.

Emily studied creative writing and art at Emory & Henry, earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and earned a master’s degree in folklore from University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill – and in the process she managed to find a niche in the world of food and academia that is now feeding her career. Emily is the deputy editor of Southern Cultures (www.southerncultures. org), a 20-year-old academic journal produced by The Center for the Study of the American South at UNC – where she happens to be the director of communications. In addition to this full-time venture, she also works as a freelance writer and artist contributing articles and illustrations for a wide array of publications including The Washington Post, Indy Week, Our State magazine, GOOD magazine, and the Oxford American – just to name a few. She was the featured illustrator for the 2013 Southern Foodways Alliance Symposium, adding her talent and quirky humor to tea towels, notepads and symposium swag.

Indy Week that highlights the allure of “discounted and desperate closeout candy;” and an illustrated show-down between cake and pie about who’s the best (in the end, they both get served). In short, Emily has found a niche for herself in the food world as a soughtout contributor. So how does that happen?
While working on her master’s degree at UNC, she took a course that changed the direction of her studies. “I signed up for a food writing class in hopes to strengthen my writing with little regard of the topic. I was introduced to a field of study that became the focus of my career. We were tasked with documenting someone or something in the food industry, and my topic— pimento cheese—became much more than the simple sandwich spread I knew from my childhood in North Carolina. It provided a window into working class experience, memory, and regional identity, and became the focus of my master’s thesis and subsequent articles.”

and write about Duke’s mayonnaise following a Washington Post article on the popular southern staple. She jokes, “I’m sort of on the mayonnaise circuit lately.” But more often than not, she’s asked to talk about pimento cheese. Several years ago she was invited by the Southern Foodways Alliance to speak on this topic and was excited to run into Emory & Henry’s Dr. Ed Davis who was there to talk about collard greens. She says she wasn’t surprised to find Dr. Davis, a geography professor, at a symposium about food. “We didn’t have a food studies program at Emory & Henry, but we were encouraged to think creatively across disciplines. He was there doing that with his work on culture and collards, and I was there to talk similarly about pimento peppers.” As a student, Emily worked in the Appalachian Center for Community Service as an Appalachian Associate, and she says her time in that role prepared her for much of the work she is doing now. “The Appalachian Center taught me the value of working within a community and learning from other people’s stories and experiences. Along with studying southern writers in the English Department, it informed my decision to document and study the region where I’m from, understanding that no story is too small or too obscure. It’s no coincidence that I’ve landed at a similar place—the Center for the Study of the American South—which also emphasizes regional scholarship in national and global contexts.” You can enjoy Emily’s writing and artwork at her website: www.eewallace.com.

Chris Frydrych is Listening
It’s not without controversy, but Chris Frydrych (’91) is tackling a problem that has parents, teachers, and school administrators stymied; how do you identify issues with young people before they turn into larger problems?
Chris is founder and CEO of Geo Listening, which operates with a simple yet provocative idea: Monitor public social media posts made by students in a given school to watch for potential issues. Those posts may report signs of despair, clues of impending violence, and cries for help to school officials.
Chris is receiving a lot of press for the work he’s doing —and a lot of tough questions. But he’s not shying away from providing answers. Recent interviews on NPR and MSNBC bring up comparisons between what his company does and the sort of “overstepping” of which the NSA has been accused.
Geo Listening is powered by 20 percent technology with the remaining 80 percent comprised of the eyes of E&H Alumni Magazine / WINTER 2014 /2014 39 / 39 E&H Alumni Magazine / WINTER
He tells the story of one student who posted on Twitter that she was “sad.” This turned out to be a result of anguish caused by repeated bullying that started again on the first day of school. Chris’s company has reported on behalf of many students who were considering suicide. This enables school officials to involve parents along with appropriate agencies to be responsive for students in need.
Schools and districts are desperate for help as they try to provide safe and conducive learning environments. Geo Listening’s goal is to help identify issues of self-harming students, kids who bully other kids, and even kids who just need extra encouragement. Chris says Geo Listening is simply helping provide additional eyes and ears that can help school administrators be at their best. According to Chris, “It’s impossible for any single person to be able to see everything. We find self-harming teens that post every three minutes during class time. And, in the late-night hours, we see them post every 60 seconds for hours on end. They’re in these social network environments where they have hundreds of other young people just like them. They need help to set a foundation that they can build themselves upon.” To find out more, you can visit the business website at geolistening.com.
CLASS NOTES
Chris’s company only monitors posts and information that is in the public domain. He believes that social networks can be a dangerous place for young people. “We’ve given kids access to a much more dangerous vehicle than an automobile without guidance or governance. It’s time for us to step up and be the adults that we’re supposed to be for students. If we’re not there, then it’s the equivalent to taking down the speed limit signs on the interstate.”

Copenhavers and Wagoner Team Penning
Team Penning is an equestrian sport that started back in the 1940s when a couple of ranch hands wanted to show off their riding skills. Ranchers are accustomed to a regular routine of culling out certain heads of cattle in order to sell them or treat them medically or brand them. It takes skilled riders to sort out the few steers needed without losing control of the larger herd, so these guys challenged each other to see who could do it the best and the fastest.
More than 70 years later, people are still challenging each other at penning cattle. There are organized competitions, a national organization (United States Team Penning Organization), and a lot of unsanctioned events where people just compete fon fun and glory. Not far from the E&H campus is a little arena where local team-penners compete, including some Emory & Henry alumni.
Frederick Copenhaver (’82) and daughter Whitney Copenhaver (’09) have been competing together since 2004. Frederick loves the competition, Fred and Whitney Copenhaver but he admits to having an ulterior motive: “This is something Whitney and I can do together.” He says it provides great family time for the two of them, plus it feels it has really built Whitney’s self-confidence. “She’s a little shy…but she is totally at ease interacting with the other riders at these competitions. It’s a supportive group of people and everyone is just there to enjoy the sport.” During a competition, three riders work as a team. They have 30 cattle in a large rink behind a chalk line. The cattle are numbered 0 to 9, so there are three “ones,” three “twos,” and so on. Outside that line is a small pen. The announcer will call a number between 0 and 9, and the riders have to work together to pull out all three cows from the herd with that number, get them into that small pen, while never allowing the larger herd to cross the line – and they have to do it faster than everyone else.

Whitney says there’s nothing like it. “I get a rush when I’m out there chasing a calf, defending the line, and penning the calves. When I’m focused on a calf, it’s like there’s nothing there but me and the calf.” She says she has enjoyed meeting people, has become a better rider, but, like Frederick, she loves the family time. “It’s a way to spend time with my daddy doing something we both enjoy.”
Another team penning competitor is Marsha Wagoner (’84). Marsha has ridden horses since she was 3 years old. She got involved in team penning a few years ago when her friend invited her to come watch him in the finals event of a local competition. “After I watched him I couldn’t stand it…I just had to go try it!” She says what she loves about it is the speed and the chance to “become one” with the horse. She jokes that “some horses are ‘cowy’ and some are not ‘cowy.’ Some horses have it in their DNA to work cattle, and if they do, you can pretty much turn the horse loose to do the work for you. It’s hard to put it into words, but it’s a major rush when that happens.” Marsha Wagoner
