CATCHING UP WITH
THE JONESES
A MESSAGE FROM THE
ALUMNI RELATIONS DIRECTOR
Dear Fellow Alumni, It’s been a busy fall semester, and we are now entering finals week and a much deserved Christmas break for our students, faculty, and staff! With this new school year, we welcomed the 25th president, Will Jones, and his family to Georgetown. You can learn more about the Jones family in this issue. Another new and exciting opportunity for our alumni and friends is GC Journeys, a travel and lecture series that combines informative sessions by GC faculty about the culture, religion, and heritage of an international destination

As you know, Georgetown College has produced thousands of successful alumni during our 190 year history. I invite you to read about two of our alumni who are making an impact in their respective careers – Erin Ball ’14 was named as the 2020 Kentucky Teacher of the Year, and Rev. Melinda Hall ’02 is the first female to lead the Cathedral of St. Paul in Erie, PA. These are just two examples of providing an exceptional education of the heart and mind. We also have achieved outstanding records when it comes to our athletic teams. This fall, Football Coach Bill Cronin and Coach Marty Park (as a player and now a coach) reached their 200th wins! You will enjoy reading about former players and coaches who learned what Tiger Pride really means to them through their interactions with Cronin and their teammates. Georgetown College will continue to be a home away from home for our students, where so many of us began our journeys many years ago. Our current and future students need us to continue to support our alma mater. I hope you will consider supporting GC in your philanthropic endeavors! Happy reading! Go Tigers!

Named 25th president of Georgetown College on June 28th, 2019, William A. Jones, or Will as he prefers, brings a vitality and an ambitious, optimistic attitude to his new post. He beams with energy and fresh ideas and always greets with a warm smile. Will Jones grew up in Kensee Hollow in Whitley County, KY. Located within the Cumberland Plateau and surrounded by the Daniel Boone National Forest, the county exudes a natural beauty counterbalanced by a harsh reality for some. Historically reliant on coal and other natural resources, the county currently sees 26% of the population living below the poverty line. Will Jones was not immune to these realities in his youth. “I grew up in a beautiful place. There were a lot of wonderful people, but a lot of trauma because of drug and alcohol abuse,” he says. “Growing up the way I grew up will either break you or make you more resilient, and I think it made me more resilient.” He grew up in what he describes as “traumatic poverty.” His mother dropped out of school in 8th grade, and his father followed suit in 9th grade. However, both of his parents repeated the refrain to him “you will be a college graduate” until the day he graduated. From a young age, faith played a pivotal role in his life. A grandfather who was a preacher and persistent parents led him through many church doors. “If there was a church open, they made sure I was there,” he says of his parents. “Church was often an escape for me at that time from a pretty rough home life.” Jones’s father struggled with addiction his entire life, but he saw a future for his son he could never attain. He pushed him to achieve those goals he never saw possible for himself, once again repeating His father died of an unintentional drug overdose one month before he and First Lady Amy Jones were married. “There are so many moments where I wish my dad was around, like being named president of Georgetown College. I know he would be so proud, and he would have gotten such a kick out of me returning to Kentucky and leading this wonderful institution.” Now a husband and father himself to six children, Jones strives to provide a wholly different environment to the one he grew up in. “One of the
our house will be a peaceful home.” Jones will freely admit his wife, First Lady Amy Jones, is the rock in the family. “Amy is very kind, extremely warm-hearted, incredibly thoughtful. She has a lot of wisdom that I rely on.” They met almost 20 years ago online. “That was early in the online dating world! Her friends and my friends, at the beginning, were a little freaked out,” he says, cracking a smile. Amy lived in Boston, Massachusetts at the time, and Will Jones lived in Southeastern Kentucky, certainly worlds apart. They first met face to face at her family’s church camp in Maryland, where he quickly met her family and all those important in her life. The next week, she flew to Kentucky to see him, meeting his family and learning more about him. “And six months later we were married. Now, if my kids do that, I’ll be a bit freaked out, but it seems to have worked out for us.” When asked if he knew right away that she was the one, he doesn’t hesitate. “Oh yeah, for me it was love at first sight.” Over the course of almost 20 years of marriage, their home has certainly gotten fuller. He and Amy have six children, four in high school. Jones’s face lights up when talking about his family. “Amy

tradition that I look forward to every year of going out for ice cream before lunch, then eating lunch somewhere fun for the kids, like a Chinese buffet, and then all going to the movies together.” Will Jones’s professional life has taken him and his family all over the country. That initial push by his parents to become a college graduate stirred in him not only the importance of college, but colleges like Georgetown. It led him to a career in higher education, one spent helping colleges flourish. He received a Bachelor’s Degree from Berea College in Political Science, where he would eventually return to work as Director of the Berea Fund. He would go on to achieve a Master’s Degree in Philanthropy and Development from St. Mary’s University of Minnesota and is currently working on a PhD in International Conflict Management at Kennesaw State University. After his time at Berea College, he worked as Vice President of Institutional Advancement at Goshen College and then as Vice President of External Relations at LaGrange College.

new classrooms in ensor lrc highlight changes on campus
If you make your way up to the third floor of Ensor Learning Resource Center, you might notice a few major changes that occurred over the summer. Thanks to a generous grant from the Knowlton Foundation, five new classrooms have been established there. On March 29th, 2019, the Knowlton Foundation awarded a grant of $250,000 to Georgetown College to fund the construction of the new classrooms. The Knowlton Foundation was established by Austin E. Knowlton in 1981 and strives to promote and advance higher education in the United States by providing grants and contributions to qualified colleges and universities. These new classrooms allow for better use of one of the more beautiful spaces on campus. Previously used as a reception area, the third floor of the Ensor Learning Resource Center now serves multiple functions.

Coach Bill Cronin
Reaches Historic Milestone
GC MAGAZINE | FALL 2019 29
Georgetown College Coach, Bill Cronin, continues to achieve milestone after milestone. In early September, the NAIA announced it would induct him into the national Hall of Fame, and on September 28th, he became the 93rd head collegiate coach to tally 200 wins by defeating St. Andrews, 41-34. He was one of the fastest football coaches to 100 wins, in the ranks with NCAA legends such as Steve Spurrier, and then again with 150 back in 2012. All the accolades, titles, and rings add up to a great program, but the underlying source of Coach Cronin’s and Georgetown College football’s greatness goes far beyond simple achievements on the field. Marty Park ‘99, in his 20th season as assistant coach, played for Cronin those first three seasons, giving him an inside look at all 200 wins. He and several other Tiger alumni share their thoughts on the making of Tiger Pride, something that elevates the program above simple wins and losses to a family unit. Here they are in their own words:

MARTYPARK ’99
and true impact the Tiger football program has on
I’m going to be bold enough to just say it…winning football games is fun. It is important, and we have been blessed to be good at it, more times than not. We also want to do more of it, so let’s get on board with that first. But beyond the records, wins, titles, and rings there’s so much more to the meaning
the lives of young men and their families – there is a formula and everlasting ingredients. As a product of that impact, I can attest. In fact, those things (wins, titles, rings, etc.) pale in comparison to the true meaning of this program. To see it in action, simply observe the way Coach Cronin greets former players and Tiger football alums. There’s a genuine love and joy to the family embrace when a former player or graduate introduces their kids to Coach for the first time. In return, there is a Tiger-nationunique look in their eyes, full of gratitude, respect, love, and pride during that exchange. It’s Tiger Pride that exudes in those moments. It’s something we all dig deep for when we face new challenges in life after our Tiger football days are over. It’s a bottled-up reserve of legacy and tradition, full of doing your absolute best, even when less can get the job done that can be called upon in the blink of an eye. That mentorship doesn’t end with the unstrapping of our pads in our last game; it carries on within us forever, and we all hopefully pass it down to the young men in our lives.

the investment he makes in young men as he shoulders the responsibility of bringing them into a program as they are stepping away from their family, environment and childhood that got them to this point. Coach Cronin has one goal in mind – to do EVERYTHING possible to help them achieve success, to
better themselves, to forge and sustain unbreakable bonds, to graduate and get a great run and go at life. He is the architect of a program designed to build young men to be awesome husbands and fathers, especially if they had never had the opportunity to see what that should look and feel like. God’s timing is perfect timing. He dropped me in the perfect place, on the most perfect campus, at the most perfect time and I’ve been truly blessed to be a part of this program for the past 25 seasons, five as a player, 20 as a coach, having a field pass to all 200 wins.

CLYDE| MCCONNAUGHHAY ’70 Georgetown College football is special because of Coach Cronin. He surrounds himself with outstanding people in his program. These men are good coaches, but their strength comes from leading by character. Players come in as boys, but they leave the program as men with character. That is why Georgetown is great.
SHANEPEARSON ’00 What is Tiger Pride? For me, it’s a way of life. Doing the little things and giving more of yourself when less will get the job done. Of course I didn’t come up with that. I was taught that. By great men and leaders. What makes Georgetown College so special? The people. Our senior year, coach Cronin and his staff held a team meeting in our locker room. We were ranked 2nd in the nation and preparing for the national championship game. That night was for me the essence of Georgetown College football. Coach asked each of the seniors to share with the team, why here? What makes this team/place so important to you? Little did we know that those simple questions would bring out so much emotion. The common theme that I remember was the camaraderie. That night was 20 years ago, and I still remember it.

SHANESMITH ’88 The bonding from generation to generation. I have attended games over the course of the last 30 years and have gotten to know players from other teams that were younger than me and played after me. However, they played with someone on the team I played on. The cycle of that continues and we are all tied together.
HEIDIMULLINS After our marriage in 1997, Craig and I made a commitment to each other and Georgetown Football for 16 seasons. In 2000, our first son was born. Cade spent his childhood growing up on GC’s field. Throughout every football season he wore his dad’s jersey number 9 until graduation. I am extremely proud of the young man Cade has grown into since his father’s death in 2015. It pleases me greatly to be back and support him as he lives through Craig’s legacy.
NEALPAWSAT ’15 Coach Cronin is the most dynamic leader of men I have ever had the pleasure of being around. He understands the uniqueness of individuals and adapts his leadership style to bring the best out of people for the good of the group. It is no surprise to me that players return to coach under him because his leadership style draws you in and creates an environment that you want to be a part of - a fun culture of high performers that expects more of you as a person that a football player. and teammates rallied around me.

Georgetown College football is known for its excellence on the field, but it is the development of the young men, and the legacies that come from them that is the real testimony to how great this program is and proof of what a great coach Bill Cronin is.

BRUCEOWENS ’87 There are many things I could say to give insight into the man Coach Bill Cronin is, however, less is more and these are the words that come to mind when you say Coach Cronin: class, loyalty, honesty, faithful, true, man’s man and mentor to many.
STEVEHILL ’94 Though the wins are nice, this journey has really been far more about developing men. Coach Cronin has always believed that winning will happen if our players do everything else correct in their lives. This includes academics, faith, positive relationships, and personal discipline.
JOHNLANHAM ’91 Bill Cronin recruited me into the Georgetown College Football Family in 1986. Participating in Tiger football and growing through the formative years at GC has proven the most meaningful experience of my life. Those developmental years allowed me to grow into a hardworking, tough minded, successful contributor. Tiger football taught me that consistent success can only come from focused, hard work. Winning is a byproduct of hard work, and consistent success can only occur from working harder, better, and smarter than the other guys. My best friends are Tigers: brothers, every one. Regardless of where I am or what I am doing, I am always a Tiger first.

LEGENDARY COACH INDUCTED INTO
HALLOWED HALL Accolades that come with being so successful are appreciated, but Georgetown College football coach Bill Cronin would rather not make a big fuss. For 23 years, he has guided the Tigers with a steady hand, focusing on the little things that help make those big things fall into place. It is a recipe for high achievement – four straight national tournament championship games, back-to-back national titles, one of the fastest to 100, 150 and now 200 wins. He is only the 93rd collegiate coach at any level to tally 200 wins. All of which made him an easy selection for NAIA Hall of Fame. It was just a matter of when. Assistant coach Michael Caba, who played for Cronin during the national title runs, nominated him, and in early September the NAIA announced Cronin as part of the 2019 class. His induction ceremony will take place at the winter AFCA meetings. Knowing his aversion to the spotlight, Georgetown Director of Athletics

something was up, especially once he saw his wife, Ellen, was there. When Evans finally gave the news, the players erupted as Cronin soaked in another milestone moment. The veteran coach would not have it any other way, being around his players and assistants, most of whom played for him. It is how he has built this program, developing young men into leaders, on- and off-thefield. He understands football means more than wins and losses and the games inside the lines. Doing things right, respecting others, and learning from all experiences is what has made this honor a long time coming. It is why Cronin is a Hall of Famer.
