Becoming global citizens by REBECCA J. STOLTZFUS ’83, President of Goshen College
FIFTY YEARS AGO this fall, the first Study-Service Term (SST) units were launched after a
visionary faculty voted unanimously to make international education a required part of our core curriculum, with our own faculty leading groups of students in a full academic term of experiential learning. This was a phenomenal innovation for any U.S. college or university at that time, and continues to make Goshen College outstanding today. This year, as we celebrate SST and imagine its future, we are focusing on our core value of “global citizenship.” I offer three propositions for us to consider as we seek to live into this value ever more fully: First, global citizenship entails empathy and imagination — the capacity to see from the others’ point of view. As we grow up, part of being human is to be trained in the ways of our family and our culture. We need this cultural blanket to feel secure, especially during childhood. But to be educated toward global citizenship, we need to move outside of our home culture and, if we do not shrink from it, to feel the profound disorientation of that. Might this be a part of what Jesus meant when he said: “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven”? (Matthew 18:3) Second, global citizens are trained to see and feel the connections between things — connections direct and indirect, positive and negative, between our daily lives and those of other people nearby and in distant places — and as we see these connections, to explore the ethical obligations that follow from those connections. Third, global citizens encourage in one another the disposition and skills to act on those obligations in the interests of transformative justice. We are willing to use or even to sacrifice the rights and privileges of our individual citizenship to be a good neighbor, trusting that ultimately we will not be diminished, but enriched. Our most limited resources are not money or airfares or even visas; they are compassion, imagination and courage. Can we educate one another in these capacities? This is the work of faith. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “When we see social relationships controlled everywhere by the principles which Jesus illustrated in his life — trust, love, mercy and altruism — then we shall know that the kingdom of God is here.” This year, Goshen College is a community comprised of students from 37 states and 27 countries and alumni living in 50 states and 82 countries. Let us educate one another with empathy and imagination, seeking beauty and goodness in each other. See the connections. Explore the obligations arising from those connections. Act in the interests of justice. Global citizenship at Goshen College begins wherever we are, right now.

About the cover Study-Service Term (SST) is all about new relationships, cultures and ways of knowing ourselves. Similarly, stamps help carry messages of life, love and learnings thousands of miles to keep people connected. Their rich colors, beautiful landscapes, notable people and striking designs share mini-stories of art, culture and history of the countries they belong to. These stamps also highlight the ways things have changed in our digital world, since today’s participants on SST rarely write or receive letters from home. Thanks to local alumni stamp collectors Doug Risser ’70 and Larry Gautsche ’74 who shared old and newer stamps from all 24 SST destinations over the years, taking us on this global tour!

Lawrence Burkholder ’39 during his inauguration celebration activities, and has continued with six presidents since.

In Memoriam Professor Emeritus of Music Lon H. Sherer Lon H. Sherer, a violinist, conductor and professor emeritus of music at Goshen College, died on June 9, at the age of 85. He joined the music department as a professor and violin teacher in 1959, and then retired from the college in 1998 after 39 years of teaching. Sherer directed the orchestra, founded in the 1950s, throughout his years at the college. He played a role in the establishment of many durable traditions at the college and community, including the Lecture-Music Series (which later became the Performing Arts Series), the biannual opera production and the Concerto-Aria Competition and Concert. He led an “Early Music” revival in the 1960s that introduced a generation of students to baroque, renaissance and medieval music. And he served on the editorial board of the American Music Teacher and was the Indiana Music Teachers Association Teacher of the Year in 1989. His unexpected loss of hearing in one ear led to a deeper understanding of teaching and learning, and to the widely read book about that professional journey: “Practicing: A Liturgy of SelfLearning” (Pinchpenny Press). Sherer was preceded in death by his wife, Kathryn ’54, in 2012; and a grandson, Nicholas Stoltzfus, in 1992. He is survived by his three children, Mark ’81 (Rhonda ’83); Karen ’81 (Duane ’81) Stoltzfus; and Michael ’82 (Patsy ’83); and by four grandchildren, Monica Sherer, Kate Stoltzfus ’14, Melinda Sherer and Emily Stoltzfus ’19. — By Duane Stoltzfus ’81, professor of communication

BASEBALL (22-29, 12-15 CL) The Maple Leafs posted their best conference record in the six-year tenure of head coach Alex Childers ’09, who became the third-winningest coach in program history. On the field, Ryan Hartig ’18 (Woodstock, Ontario) and junior Ben Longacre (Barto, Pennsylvania) led the team at the plate, batting .368 and .358 respectively, while starting all 51 games. Longacre rapped a team-high 67 hits including 22 doubles, 4 triples, 49 runs scored and 27 runs batted in: his double and run figures were both the highest in school history. Both men earned honorable-mention all-conference honors, as did junior closer Colby Malson (Tipton, Indiana), who set single-season and career records for saves with 10 and 14 respectively. Hartig graduates with the school record for career games played at 210, while senior first baseman Brad Stoltzfus ’18 (Goshen) set a career record with 133 walks and tied the mark with 113 walks drawn.

The team sent a pair of athletes to nationals as Sawyer Biddle ’18 (White Heath, Illinois) took All-American honors with an eighth-place finish in the 5,000-meter race walk and Brenner Burkholder ’18 (Topeka, Kansas) finished 38th in the marathon. WOMEN’S OUTDOOR TRACK AND FIELD (9TH IN CL) Kayla Gray ’18 (#540, Bridgton, Maine) finished seventh in the 5,000-meter race walk at the NAIA national championship, claiming her third career All-American honor in that event. The Maple Leafs took ninth place in the conference meet behind a sixth-place showing in the 4x100meter relay and a sixth-place mark from sophomore Suzette Rodriguez (Goshen) in the hammer. In the team’s full-squad meets, GC posted 13 top-three finishes. MEN’S VOLLEYBALL (1-6 AS CLUB TEAM) The Maple Leafs opened their club season with a win over an NAIA varsity program from Calumet St. Joseph before playing half a dozen more times against other NAIA teams as well as club teams from NCAA schools.

HAROLD WATSON STARTS NEW ROLE AS COLLEGE’S ATHLETIC DIRECTOR HAROLD M. WATSON, a decorated leader, administrator and marketer of intercollegiate athletics, joined the Maple Leafs as athletic director in early September.
The Evanston, Illinois, native came to Goshen from Georgia Southern University, where he was assistant athletic director for strategic marketing. Watson has experience in all three NCAA divisions and participated in the NCAA’s diversity and inclusion forum in 2016. He holds a bachelor’s degree from MacMurray College in Jacksonville, Illinois, where he was a fullback and vice president of the Black Student Union, and a master’s degree in sports management from Western Illinois University.
“The guiding principle to my work in college athletics hangs in creating a first-class student-athlete experience that allows them to grow as people who are ready to be outstanding members of the global community we share,” Watson said. “Goshen is an institution that really cares about preparing its students for life after college. That is me at the core. I want to see our student-athletes succeed in all facets of their life, including academics, athletics and community life, while they are in school, but additionally, and more importantly, after they leave our campus.”
The Maple Leaf Athletic Department recognized its 2017-18 award winners at its second annual dessert banquet on May 10. Junior Chelsea Foster (Indianapolis) and junior Ollie Smith (York, England) were named female and male athletes of the year, respectively, while women’s volleyball player Christy Swartzendruber ’18 (Shickley, Nebraska) and senior men’s soccer player Spencer Aeschliman (Salem, Oregon) were tabbed female and male scholarathletes of the year. Men’s soccer coach Arron Patrick was picked coach of the year by his colleagues. In addition, the department honored 16 national qualifiers, 21 all-conference athletes, 12 conference players of the week, 30 school record setters and 46 NAIA scholar-athletes. For a full list of 2017-18 award winners, visit goleafs.net/1718awards.
GOSHEN NAMED NAIA CHAMPIONS OF CHARACTER INSTITUTION FOR 17TH STRAIGHT YEAR Goshen College was one of 171 colleges and universities to earn the Champions of Character FiveStar Institution label from the NAIA in early September. The program measures each institution’s commitment to the NAIA Champions of Character initiative, with points falling into five categories that represent key areas: character training, conduct in competition, character recognition, academic focus and character promotion. Goshen is one of two Indiana colleges to be named a Champions of Character institution every year since the award began in 2002. The Crossroads League was also recognized as a Champions of Character conference.

CULTURE FOR SERVICE AWARD
David Reimer ’84 David Reimer ’84 is a career member of the Senior Foreign Service and, on Dec. 13, 2017, was sworn in as U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Mauritius and the Republic of Seychelles, two island nations in the Indian Ocean off the southeast coast of Africa. While studying abroad during his StudyService Term (SST) in Belize, Reimer interviewed a United States economic officer at the U.S. Embassy in Belize City for a final paper about the economic and commercial relations between the U.S. and Belize. Years later, he would find himself in that same office, only then the desk was his. After graduating from Goshen College in 1984, and earning a Master of Public and International Affairs degree from the University of Pittsburgh and working for the U.S. Department of Agriculture
for five years, he joined the U.S. Foreign Service, and, because of his SST experience, he was sent to Belize, where he worked for several years. Originally from Smithville, Ohio, Reimer’s path to becoming a U.S. Ambassador has taken him all over the world. He has received eight top State Department performance awards, and is known for his extensive knowledge of Africa and his outstanding leadership and communication skills. Before college, Reimer spent several years living in Kenya and Ethiopia with his parents, which he credits, along with studying history and economics at Goshen College and his SST experience, for his success as a foreign officer. Having spent about two-thirds of his career overseas, Reimer has served as the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Nouakchott, Mauritania
(2012-2014); senior refugee coordinator for the U.S. Embassy Baghdad, Iraq (2011-2012); Deputy Director of the Africa Bureau of East African Affairs (2009-2011); Refugee and Migration Officer, U.S. Mission Geneva, Switzerland (2006-2009); Economic Officer, U.S. Embassy Port-au-Prince, Haiti (2004-2006) and Economic Officer, U.S. Consulate Milan, Italy (2000-2003). He spent time at the U.S. Department of State’s Economic Bureau (1996-2000), did economic work for the U.S. Embassy in Bonn, Germany, and the U.S. Embassy in Belize City, Belize. He speaks French, Italian and German. Reimer lives in Port Louis, Republic of Mauritius, with his wife, Simonetta Romagnolo. He is a member of Oak Grove Mennonite Church in Smithville, Ohio.

CULTURE FOR SERVICE AWARD
Brian Yoder Schlabach ’07
Patricia Ebersole Zwier ’76 As a bilingual therapist, Patricia Ebersole Zwier ’76, has counseled couples and individuals in Latin America and the United States, and is now mentoring the next generation of bilingual professionals at Oaklawn in Goshen. Growing up in Archbold, Ohio, Zwier’s worldview unfolded during her Goshen College Study-Service Term (SST) in Honduras. Several years after graduating, she returned to Honduras to work at a Mennonite church in San Pedro Sula doing leadership formation for young adults. While there, she met her husband, Joel Zwier, who was working with the Christian Reformed Church in development work. Together they started a family in San Pedro Sula. 14
BULLETIN | Fall / Winter 2018
Soon after the birth of their first child, the couple moved to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, where Zwier eventually began doing marriage counseling for young couples. In 1992, Zwier completed a study leave with her family to the United States to attend graduate school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A year later they returned to Santo Domingo, where Zwier found an internship as a family counselor. Zwier also began taking one class at a time at La Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo, and six years later graduated with two master’s degrees from two countries in counseling and family therapy. Zwier soon joined a practice run completely by Dominican women, where she worked for 11 years.
Thirty years and four adult children later, Zwier and her husband have found their way back to Goshen. As a bilingual therapist, Zwier enjoys participating in training and mentoring the next generation of bilingual professionals at Oaklawn. Zwier sees all kinds of clients, including those without documents. She maintains that what has allowed her to be successful in the United States was what she learned in Santo Domingo: relationships and community matter. Patricia Zwier and Joel Zwier live in Goshen and attend Assembly Mennonite Church. They are the parents of Elisa Zwier ’03, Sarah Zwier ’08, David Zwier ’12 and James Zwier.

organization Sembrandopaz (sowing peace), on local peacebuilding initiatives.
Shortly after graduating from Goshen College with a double major in sociology and Bible, religion and philosophy in 2008, Buller moved to Colombia as a part of Mennonite Central Committee’s Seed Program. For eight years, Buller worked as a facilitator and community organizer on Colombia’s Pacific coast.
She often found herself sitting at meetings between community members and local government officials, taking notes and organizing ideas. Thanks to the hard work of her and others at Sembrandopaz, Buller would witness victories such as community peace marches, reparation hearings, and the building of key roads and other infrastructure such as new schools in her time with the organization.
Buller was originally placed in Zambrano, Colombia, a small town of less than ten thousand people near the Caribbean coast, doing community organizing and peacebuilding trainings. After her volunteer years ended, Buller stayed and worked as the director of the Seed Program for two years, then continued as a seconded worker to the
Buller was amazed at the dedication of the Colombians in the face of decades of conflict.
During Buller’s time in Colombia, local leaders were able to get the attention of government officials and, with a good deal of compromise and effort, work side-by-side to improve conditions in their communities.
However, in March 2015, Buller was in a motorcycle accident that resulted in a broken femur, burns and other significant damage. The resulting surgeries and rehabilitation put her on a long road to recovery, and much of her peacebuilding work on hold. She eventually returned to Goshen for further medical treatment with her husband, Willian. Buller wants people to understand that the process of compromise is messy and time consuming. “Peace is ugly,” said Buller. “And yet, truly, I believe that a huge amount of peacebuilding is how we talk to each other.” Buller lives in Goshen with her husband, Willian Murillo, and their 10-month old daughter Belen. They attend Walnut Hill Mennonite Church.

DR. ROMAN GINGERICH CHAMPION OF CHARACTER AWARD
Byron Shenk ’63 Byron Shenk ’63 has spent 67 years – including the last 28 years at George Fox University – shaping students and athletes physically, mentally and spiritually. Shenk spent his childhood in the Pacific Northwest where, after graduating from high school in 1956, he and his identical twin brother spent a few years working as loggers in the mountains of Oregon. Eventually, Shenk’s older brother encouraged the two to attend Goshen College. Shenk graduated from GC in 1963 with a health and human performance major. Soon after, he began working as a physical education professor at both GC and Bethany High School. He also began coaching GC’s men’s soccer and track and field teams. In 1966, Shenk left to do missionary work in India as part of the Mennonite
Board of Missions. Upon returning from India in 1969, Shenk earned a master’s degree in physical education from the University of Oregon in 1970. Shenk became a professor at Eastern Mennonite University, where he worked for 17 years. In addition to teaching, Shenk coached wrestling, men’s soccer, and men’s and women’s track and field teams. In 1987, Shenk went to the University of Virginia to earn his Ed.D. in sports medicine. He also got certification from the National Athletic Trainers’ Association and became a certified athletic trainer. Shenk took a position with George Fox University in 1990 as a half-time professor and half-time physical trainer. There, he founded and became the first coach of George Fox’s women’s soccer
team. His work with the team would earn him a spot in George Fox’s sports hall of fame in 2004. He was named the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Women’s Coach of the Year for the Far West Region in both 1992 and 1998, and was the Northwest Conference Women’s Coach of the Year in 1998. He also earned a national meritorious service award from the National Christian College Athletic Association for previous service and leadership. Shenk recently retired as a full-time professor at George Fox and lives with his wife Ina in McMinnville, Oregon, where they are active at First Mennonite Church.

of some Dominican evangelicals, I’ll testify to a series of rebirths during my years of teaching in a small, Mennonite, liberal arts college — recommitments to graceful living as well as to international education, and to service or experiential learning. God knows, I’m a believer. BY
KEITH GRABER MILLER
n his opening remarks at a service-learning conference a quarter century ago, Goshen College president emeritus J. Lawrence Burkholder ’39 said he claimed only one credential for speaking at the event: He was a “born again” believer in international education.
In my undergraduate years at a college with no international educational program, I intuitively recognized the need for and value of cross-culture education and experiential learning. In my sophomore year, a friend and I spent six weeks of the Christmas break and January interterm backpacking and train-hopping our way through Western Europe, communicating in our halting French and German and smiling and gesturing profusely when we traversed Italy and Spain. Revelatory experiences came each day, and I reflected on those experiences in a journal that expanded to four volumes by the end of the six weeks.
As one who has co-led nine StudyService Term (SST) units — in Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Cuba, China and Cambodia — I write today as one similarly reborn. And in the spirit
Many years later, I want to highlight why experiential or service learning — in international settings as well as on our campuses — is essential, and why it may be effective.
I
1. Experiential learning is one of our earliest modes of development. Our initial insights come not in reading or rote memorization or academic discourse. As infants we gradually discover parts of our body we never knew existed, one day finding our feet and then inserting them into our mouths to see what form and texture and taste they have. We learn that dropping liquids on the floor results in a flurry of activity, recognizing the realities of cause and effect. During our earliest months of life, experiential learning is woven into our being. It is how we first come to know ourselves and our worlds, and the value of such learning sticks with us.
2. Experiential learning takes us into the realm of the unfamiliar. With infants, everything is new. With college-age students in international education programs, or their crustier faculty leaders, much is new. And for most of us, newness engages us, draws us out, stimulates us, makes us open and vulnerable, teachable.

For our SSTers in the Dominican Republic (D.R.), the realm of the unfamiliar came perhaps even more so in Haiti than in our primary host country. Our students came to the D.R. aware of what the country and its people would be like because of their orientation at GC and the SST culture on campus. But they were unprepared for our four-day excursion to Haiti, where we switched to a language none of us knew, and where we heard about development from Haitians and others whose perspectives we had never encountered before, and where we lived with former street boys who had undergone religious and quality of life changes about which we had been clueless.
3. Experiential learning requires us to think carefully and critically about and from other perspectives. Faculty members who have led international education programs usually have multiple, glorious stories of “aha” moments or revelatory breakthroughs in critical thinking. I want to mention a
more mundane one, though its impact was far-reaching. In the D.R., most of the students’ transportation takes place in carros publicos, usually beaten up, taped together (literally), decadeold Toyotas which scuttle down Santo Domingo’s primary streets, picking up anyone wagging the Dominican finger. In these ancient and tiny wrecks, it’s expected that two people sit in the one front bucket seat and that four people crowd into the back.

Several weeks into the summer term, some of our students were remarking about the insanity of a common occurrence. They briefly would be alone in a publico with the driver, sitting comfortably in the front bucket seat, when another passenger-to-be would finger the car to a halt. Then, even though the backseat was empty, the new rider would open the front door and pile, nearly onto the lap, of our student. The assumption of some of our SSTers was that this was, at best, an attempt at undesired physical intimacy or, at worst, a sign of Dominican senselessness.

As we discussed this at “Casa Goshen,” the weekly group-processing time in our home, we realized that because of traffic patterns and the dangers of exiting and entering cars, all passengers were required to exit publicos from the right doors rather than into the roadway. That meant the person who sat on our students’ lap would have inconvenienced the publico’s future passengers had he entered the back seat of the car, where he would have been eventually pressed against the driver’s side door. For him to exit the car, especially if he were going a short distance, all of the other passengers who by then would have filled the back seat would have needed to get out before he could exit. His act, then,
in scrunching into the front seat, was sensitive, appropriate and eminently rational. The student who brought the incident to the group was bowled over. What had been senselessness had been transformed through seeing from another unconsidered perspective, and the chastening that came through the revelation carried over into the remainder of her experience.
4. Experiential learning breathes life into our study, makes our learning both practical and real. Even near our home campuses, in practicums and internships and
student-teaching assignments, engaged experience helps students make practical applications of their earlier learning, and they return to the classroom sharper and more mature in their thinking, and more engaged in their study. In the Dominican Republic, we altered the curriculum for our summer SSTers, partly by adding in a major block on women’s issues, building on the powerful story of the Hermanas Mirabal, three sisters who were assassinated by the dictator Trujillo in 1960 for participating in a resistance movement. In addition to our lectures on domestic violence, prostitution and women’s roles in the culture, we read Julia Alvarez’s historical novel In the Time of the

Butterflies, which chronicles the lives and deaths of the Mirabal sisters. We also were able to arrange a meeting with Dede Mirabal, the surviving sister. Dede responded to our questions for 45 minutes, showed us through her house and gardens, and signed our novels. Students were deeply moved, and the history of the Mirabals as well as the Trujillo regime came alive for them in the person of Dede. Such experiences can’t be replicated in the classroom.
5. There is theological warrant for international education and experiential learning. Here I quote one who has reflected with depth on experiential learning, largely through the lens of Goshen’s SST program. Former program director Wilbur Birky ’63 once wrote a piece titled “SST: Vision, History and Ethos,” in which he draws on the biblical metaphor of the incarnation.
The leadership that launched and sustained SST
“Let us propose the Incarnation as an act of divine imagination rooted in a profound realization that even God could not know and understand the human condition completely without entering into it, to experience it in the body. That was a true cross-cultural experience. So a description of at least the early parts of Jesus’ incarnation applies aptly to the SST

SST search conference begins to look to future In September, 32 faculty, staff and students met for a weekend StudyService Term search conference with the goal of reassessing the distinguished program 50 years after it began. Throughout the course of the weekend, participants tackled this question: “How can we strengthen Goshen College’s international education core, including SST, to make it more effective, engaging and possible for our students in the current global context?” The participants of the conference agreed that SST is a distinctive aspect
of a Goshen College education. The primary goal moving forward is to remove some identified barriers so that a majority of students can once again experience the semester-long option. These barriers include scheduling conflicts (especially within athletics and large majors), a lack of funds and communication difficulties between staff, students and families. “The conference was a wonderful experience of having people from across campus in many different roles engage in a collaborative process to make the international education
program better for all students,” said Jan Bender Shetler, professor of history and coordinator of the conference (pictured below). “There was so much energy and excitement in finding a shared vision and ways to work through the obstacles, even though the hard work is still ahead of us.” A formal report of the conference can be read at goshen.edu/sst/50. — By Siana Emery ’20 A longer version of this story originally appeared in The Record.

Goshen College wants to say terima kasih. This phrase, Indonesian for “thank you,” literally translates to “receive love.” President Rebecca Stoltzfus ’83 shared this important phrase from her time living in Indonesia during a dedication ceremony on July 1 for a very special gift to the college: an Indonesian gamelan. The gamelan — a massive, multi-piece set of percussive instruments — was donated by Duane Gingerich ’69 in 2011. He passed away in 2016, but his dream was finally realized this summer when the Nyai Oyer Gamelan, translated to Sister Oyer Gamelan, arrived in the United States and was dedicated in honor of Professor Emerita of Music Mary Oyer ’45. Gingerich had a lot of love embodied in this gift: love for art, love for Dr. Oyer and love for Indonesia. Terima kasih. Receive love. Gingerich was a student of Oyer’s during his time at GC and had taken a class, The Arts, with her. Even if it was the only B he ever got in his many years

of education, the class significantly impacted him, and his one request was that the ensemble be named after Oyer. Gingerich’s connection to Indonesia began shortly before graduating from Goshen College. He spent time in Indonesia under the Mennonite Central Committee PAX service program from 1965 to 1968, and then moved there in 1982. He spent the last 15 years of his 26-year legal career in Jakarta as an international partner with the global law firm Baker and Mackenzie. “Duane loved Indonesia,” said his wife Reti, whom he married in 1986. His love for the culture was shown through his collection of Indonesian antiques, including two gamelans. The word “gamelan” comes from the Javanese word “gamel,” meaning to strike or hammer. Gamelans typically feature a variety of instruments similar to xylophones, drums and gongs. Many of these pieces are very large; the biggest gongs can weigh up to 100 pounds on their own. In the case of GC’s gamelan, there are two of each instrument, each with two different tuning systems. The

rhythmic, Eastern-style music is very spiritual in Indonesian culture and often includes supplementary, symbolic dancers and vocalists. After being refurbished in Indonesia, the instruments all were dismantled, labeled, wrapped and packed to be shipped to the United States. This process took months to complete. Having an instrument of this cultural significance is invaluable for the college. It’s priceless and one of only around 100 that exist in the United States. “It needs to remain out and visible,” Marcia Yost, director of the arts, engagement and outreach said. “It’s a work of art.” The college intends to use the instrument for two purposes on campus. Goshen students will learn to think about how they read, study and honor music in their own cultures and others as well. The gamelan will also be used for outreach to other colleges and universities, elementary through high school students and visiting civic and cultural groups.
The gamelan finally getting to Goshen College means Gingerich finally gets to say terima kasih. President Stoltzfus also shared the response: “terima kasih kembali.” “I return that love.”
Back to Indonesia Students last went to Indonesia for Study-Service Term in Spring 2001, but discontinued the destination following a travel warning by the U.S. government. With the warning long ago lifted, a unit is scheduled to go again in Spring 2019, led by retired faculty Ron ’67 and Sally Jo Milne ’67. Students will spend the first half of the semester in the city of Yogyakarta on the island of Java studying at Duca Wacana Christian University. Indonesia joins China, Peru, Senegal and Tanzania as the current location options for the college’s study abroad program.

ALUMNI CROSSINGS
GC as a global citizen THIS YEAR on the 50th anniversary of Study-Service Term (SST) and with a shift in my work responsibilities, I have been reminiscing on GC as part of a global community. I have had the privilege of leading SST in Cambodia and two of my children have had their own SST experiences, with one daughter — as I write this — in Peru studying Peruvian Sign Language and culture, all while experiencing the deep and challenging intercultural experience that SST continues to be.
With alumni living in more than 80 countries across the globe, the reach of this small institution is truly impressive. This is in large part because of the warm welcome we have afforded to generations of international students. This fall I have added the role of international student adviser to my work here. For me, this is a gift. From my very early childhood, I have been blessed with deep, intercultural experiences. So, this new role is one that provides me so much joy as I seek to play a part in providing these experiences for individual international students and the whole GC community with which they interact and enrich. One of the pleasures of the role is serving as the sponsor for the International Student Club, one of the most active and fun clubs on campus. All students are welcome to join the club and many do. We routinely have 70 to 100 students at our events, which range from barbecues, movie and game nights, bowling, Thanksgiving dinner, study break pizza parties, trips to the dunes and Chicago and more. The largest event of the year for the club, though, is the annual International Student Coffeehouse. From its humble beginnings in Newcomer Center, it is now a dinner and program attended by hundreds from our community. It is a chance for the students to share foods and arts from their home cultures. I would encourage you to join us on March 23 for this annual event. As I start this new role, I know I stand on the shoulders of those who came before me and have served the college through their support of international students. It is one important way that GC lives its core value of being a positive global citizen. 28

Ways you can help grow Goshen
Referrals are one of our top sources for students who end up enrolling. Refer students to us who have not heard of or considered Goshen College, but whom you think would value this learning experience and community. (goshen.edu/refer)
Organize a group of high school students in your area and bring them to campus for a visit. The Admissions Office can help with your planning and with travel reimbursement. (goshen.edu/visit)
Pray regularly for our admission counselors on the road, prospective students traveling for a visit and for those making decisions at the college.
Donate! With your generous contributions to the Goshen College Fund and Student Aid Fund we are able to make the “Distinctively Goshen” experience accessible for all students. (goshen.edu/give)

LASTING TIES
Towards a transformative future:
How SST began by JOE SPRINGER ’80, Curator, Mennonite Historical Library
ON NOV. 1, 1965, Goshen College President Paul Mininger called to order the first meeting of the Committee on the Future of the College. Their tasks: clarify/evaluate present goals, then revise/ restate goals to evaluate GC’s program and construct a program that would meet those goals.
A week later, led by its executive secretary Henry Weaver, the committee began discussing not if, but how GC might internationalize its curriculum. Add courses? Broaden general education to cover non-Western studies? Recruit international faculty? Send students abroad? Also under discussion were moving to a year-round trimester academic calendar, tightening and reducing the number of majors, and identity questions (relationship to the 56

church, liberal arts vs. professional school). By Jan. 17, 1966, the committee approved the concept of an “international service term.” The objectives were helping students “break out of the shell” of their own culture; “intensive relationships” with small, faculty-led student groups; responding to “necessity of and mood for an international emphasis.” But questions remained: How would GC deal with costs, calendars, curriculum? As students caught wind of the possibilities, they wondered aloud if these plans were perhaps “overly ambitious.” The committee kept at it, and on Oct. 6, 1966, the full GC faculty approved a proposed “study-service term abroad.”
Various external and internal projects preceding the committee’s launch had enabled a solid and rapid start to its work. Following the first faculty vote much discussion and planning remained. Finally, on Sept. 12, 1968, the first three “official” Study-Service Trimester (SST) groups left northern Indiana for Costa Rica, Guadeloupe and Jamaica. And that was the beginning of what has become 50 years of transformative global citizenship. Photo: The first group that went on Study-Service Term to Costa Rica in 1968 posed as they departed. Groups simultaneously went to Jamaica and Guadeloupe.
