DISTRACTIONS, DIFFICULTIES AND “ALL YOUR MIGHT”

I

magine yourself a student at Oxford University during World War II. You prepare for an exam against the backdrop of air raid sirens and distant explosions. You recall friends and family you’ve lost in the war and find it hard to concentrate. Lights flicker. You close your book and think, What’s the use?

Students inevitably encounter difficulties that demand a mighty effort. GU’s required general education curriculum—more than 35 hours spanning a wide range of topics—exposes them to subjects and skills many have never encountered before. Thirtythree major programs also present opportunities for them to stretch in new ways.

When C.S. Lewis delivered his sermon “Learning in Wartime” to Oxford students in 1939, he knew they faced distractions, but he also knew the importance of their work. “The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable,” he said. “Favorable conditions may never come.”

“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might . . .”

Ecclesiastes 9:10, NIV

Students who push on despite obstacles inspire me. Students like Gabriella . . .

Gabriella Pflederer ’22, a biology and engineering major, conducted research last summer as part of GU’s Summer Research Experience. Gabriella doesn’t enjoy writing, but she values the prospect of publishing her research. Last summer, with the help of her research supervisor, Biology Instructor Lindsey Mao, Gabriella faced her writing reluctance head-on.

“The students hit a wall while writing up their findings in a manuscript,” said Mao. “I chose to play a light hand in the writing process and a heavy hand in the editing.”

Mao asked the students to rewrite entire sections and then rewrite again. Producing draft after draft taxed them emotionally and mentally, but they rose to the challenge. By summer’s end, Mao estimated they had improved their scientific writing skills five-fold.

Gabriella—the recipient of donor-funded scholarships and participant in a donor-funded research program—knows donors like you paved the way for her. What does she want you and others to know?

“I would tell them how much of an impact they had in making my education purposeful. Thank you for your willingness to support me on my educational journey.”

To you, I say thank you as well. Thank you for showing the value you place on students’ mighty efforts. Your investment in scholarships makes all the difference.

Blessings,

JANUARY

TRIPLE MAJOR, TRIPLE EFFORT

President Ivan Filby often tells others about GU students’ penchant for asking good and thoughtful questions, their perseverance, and their ability to get things done.

Summer fits the bill on all counts, and not just during the school year either. One summer she participated in the Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts Symposium at Wheaton College, where students dialogue and write about topics pertaining to contemporary society. Another summer she participated in the Kierkegaard Library’s 2019 Young

2019

More than 300 students received letters of congratulations for making GU’s Dean’s List. Among them, hard-working Summer Mengarelli ’19 managed a triple major in history/political science, Spanish, and philosophy. Summer also received congratulations from the Wesleyan Philosophical Society for penning an outstanding essay that earned her the Society’s undergraduate award, a cash stipend, and the opportunity to present at its spring conference. GU’s Alayna Moore ’19 received the same award last year, giving GU back-to-back wins.

THE FRUIT OF HER LABOR: AN IVY LEAGUE INVITATION In January, biology and chemistry major Jessie Chappel ’20 honed her presentation skills at Harvard University’s National Collegiate Research Conference. Jessie shared research she conducted back in Greenville with Assistant Professor of Biology Bwarenaba Kautu. Kautu has seen students like Jessie publish papers, work with leading biotech companies, and collaborate with universities including Harvard, Princeton, Cambridge, and Washington University. Donors fund student research in the sciences at GU and Jessie’s McAllaster Honors Scholarship.

NIMBLE AT THE NET: MEN’S VOLLEYBALL GIVES THEIR ALL

Notable Blackout Night players Peter Binder, Tanner Smith, and Kyle Ward, along with teammates Johnny Milabu and Nick Corrigan—all seniors—saw the fruits of years-long labor that night. These five men had arrived at GU four years prior as freshman volleyball recruits eager to help build a brand-new program. Current GU Athletics Director Tom Ackerman ’99 had just formed the team and manned it with mostly freshmen. Ackerman knew that without many experienced college-level players to guide new arrivals, a lot of work lay ahead for the whole group.

The freshmen stepped up to the challenge. Some changed from playing their preferred positions. Some accepted roles that reduced the playing time they enjoyed in high school. The group made do with a less than ideal number of players.

2019

Poised to graduate, Binder, Smith, Ward, Milabu, and Corrigan reaped the rewards of hard work on Black Out Night 2019.

Together, they are the grateful recipients of 15 scholarships funded by donors through The Greenville University Fund. Thank you for giving.

FEBRUARY

Men’s volleyball pulled out the stops February 6 at the Panthers’ Black Out Night in H.J. Long Gymnasium. Fans dressed in black crowded the gym to show their Panther pride. The team kept opponent Missouri Baptist off track all night, taking a 3-0 win and earning enthusiastic cheers for their relentless effort.

TEAM EFFORT: PERFECTING THE “STUDENT” IN STUDENT-ATHLETE

MARCH

When the Lady Panthers kicked off their 2019 softball season March 11, they embarked on a journey that ended with a sixth consecutive 20win season, plus NCAA honors as Division III leaders in team grade point average. Each player on GU’s roster gained recognition as an AllAmerican Scholar-Athlete, earning a GPA of 3.50 or higher. The players posted a team GPA of 3.78.

2019

The mental and physical demands of collegiate sports often surprise freshmen. Many must develop self-discipline to stay on track as they manage classes, practices, homework, and travel.

“Learning how to make time for both studying and practicing has been a process, and you just have to find what works for you . . .” says Lady Panther infielder Olivia Shipman ’21, who also advocates for hard work. She contends that giving her all on the field respects the comparable effort her coaches and teammates expend. Panther pitcher Maegan Stone ’21 echoes the sentiment: “I love my team, and I always know that regardless if it’s a game or practice, everyone is going to work hard and be productive.”

Kayla Speaks ‘19, recipient of the donor-funded Dean’s Scholarship, Greenville University Award, and Harold N. Cooley Endowed Scholarship. Thank you for giving.

APRIL

Renovation Crew Delivers Superb Work at The SMART Center Teams from locally owned Unterbrink Construction worked tirelessly in 2019 to renovate the SMART Center, a 130-yearold building acquired by GU to house Greenville SMART initiatives. Restoration always brings surprises, like the historic cast iron columns discovered this April behind the building’s exterior façade. Installed in the era of lead-based paint, the columns posed a health hazard. Quick paint removal methods could spread dangerous particles. Crews pivoted with a plan: apply chemical stripper and scrape paint by hand. It sounds tedious, but a job worth doing is worth doing right.

Unterbrink Construction applied this motto all year. They and a team of subcontractors—roofers, brick masons, electricians, carpenters, plumbers, steam fitters and more—absorbed and solved surprises as large as an unstable foundation and as small as preserving historic window trim.

Elaine McNamara, director of Greenville SMART, hosts a regular podcast with guests involved in GU-community partnerships.

Breck Nelson, executive director of Greenville SMART, provides weekly video updates of renovations to the SMART Center on Greenville’s historic square. Learn more at greenvillesmart.com.

MAY

HARD HIKE: WE CAN DO THIS May marked GU’s first ever urban walkabout, and lessons about “journey” emerged. To endure hard journeys, the hikers learned, they need only take one step at a time . . . but they must keep on stepping.

PASSION AND DEDICATION MODELED: THANK YOU, PROFESSORS ILER AND PORTER Students, former students, faculty, and friends honored professors Darrell Iler ’77 and Miriam Porter with hearty applause at Commencement.

Iler, professor of chemistry, retired after more than 15 years at GU. Former students still rave about his in-class demonstrations like using dry ice to make ice cream or imploding a sealed tin drum with air pressure (“It will implode at some point during the lecture,” he’d say). Iler prized hands-on experience and guided many students in research projects.

Porter, instructor of music and coordinator of vocal studies, received the W. Richard Stephens Outstanding Faculty Award.

“Her commitment to Christ remains at the center of her life, and I can witness that she seeks to live this out in very concrete and tangible ways,” said VP for Academic Affairs Brian Hartley ’78. “The modeling she does for our students, particularly for those in our gospel choir, sets the standard for all of our faculty.”

SIX WEEKS IN PARASITES Resolute researchers take on tropical foe When Gabriella Pflederer ’22, a double major in engineering and biology, began a summer stint researching parasites that caused malaria, the scientific process dominated her thoughts. Six weeks later, when she looked back on the problems her team solved, creativity came to mind, too.

Here’s a sampling: Problem: Immense data, limited computing power Gabriella’s team accessed an online dataset of malaria patients that contained millions of RNA sequences. Sorting, comparing, and matching the sequences to specific criteria demanded computing power that eclipsed GU’s capacity. The students turned to Galaxy, a free online resource for biomedical research.

Problem: “Free” means crowded Faced with long wait times for Galaxy’s services during business hours, the students shifted their use of Galaxy to weekends and nights.

Problem: Finicky formatting The students used statistical software that demanded exact file formatting. Miscalculation in even the smallest detail resulted in errors. The

team achieved the precision they needed after relentless trial and error and seeking help from Professor of Biology Eric Nord, who knows the software well.

Problem: Effective storytelling Gabriella’s team “hit a wall” trying capture their work in writing. Draft after draft of rewrites ensued—far more than anyone expected. Gabriella admits no fondness for writing: “But ultimately, I grew out of the experience.”

“To spend six weeks focusing on one topic and being able to contribute to the scientific community is something that could never really be done in a classroom,” she reflected afterward.

“It really helped to increase my confidence in my abilities to do research.”

Would she dedicate a summer to research again?

“Absolutely.”

Gabriella receives GU’s donor-funded Engineering Scholarship and the Wilson T. Hogue Award.

Thank you for giving.

LEARNING FROM THE BEST: HARD WORK, HUSTLE, AND GRACE The death of rising senior and volleyball standout Allyson Grabowski ’20 drew the GU campus community together in grief, prayer, and gratitude for a life “well lived.” Allyson passed away July 15 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. A friend’s Facebook post the next day revealed lessons she gleaned from study sessions with Allyson—ambition seasoned with kindness; aspiration mixed with generosity: “It didn’t matter that she spent five hours making that ‘quizlet’ or three hours making that flow chart, it was yours if you needed it . . . ”

MASTERING THE ART OF PORTABLE WORSHIP Ministry interns practice thinking on their feet

MANY HANDS MAKE MOVE-IN EASY Three hundred-plus new students descended on campus August 23, bearing boxes and laundry bags, TVs and shower caddies, backpacks and blankets— “stuff” enough to help them feel at home. VP of Community Life Terrell Carter and his staff assisted with move-in by organizing student athletes at each dorm to help carry belongings up stairs and down hallways. “Numerous parents came up to me to thank us for [our] hospitality,” enthused VP of Academic Affairs Brian Hartley ’78. Helped by “Carter and Crew,” new students moved in and made it to the Ivy Planting ceremony by evening.

through traumas as they gathered at the unlikeliest “camping” venue—the University of Chicago. “We talk about being flexible and doing improvisation ministry because we’re part of a story that we’re not writing,” says GU Associate Professor of Theology Ben Wayman ’02, internship supervisor.

“We try to keep up with Christ and the Holy Spirit in the things we run into.”

2019

In August, seniors returning from summer ministry internships huddled with internship-bound classmates to share what they learned. Tales of surprise, “winging it,” and staying flexible emerged.

One intern, placed with a church whose worshipers met in a YWCA, counted church “setup” and “tear down” among her Sunday acts of worship. Another assisted producing worship services in Swahili to accommodate an unexpected influx of African refugees. Yet another helped urban-center kids work

THE HIKE THAT “TAKES A VILLAGE” Whether students run, bike, or truly walk the 5.3 miles to Durley Camp east of campus, GU’s annual All College Hike never fails to generate enthusiasm and good cheer. A small army of volunteers led by the Greenville Student Government Association (GSGA) made this year’s hike particularly great.

GSGA officers take their charge to serve the student body seriously. They function as liaisons between students, faculty, and administrators, and produce activities that facilitate student growth. In the process, they hone skills that employers value—managing schedules, staffs, and budgets; planning and implementing; collaborating, communicating, and presenting.

The academic interests of this year’s leaders run the gamut from biology and chemistry to digital media, sport management, and business. They compete as Panthers in basketball, volleyball, and soccer. Several have jobs in offices on campus. All share a dedication to serving their peers, and all receive donor-funded scholarships. Thank you for giving.

VOLUNTEERS DOUBLE DOWN FOR A DOUBLE-SIZED PARADE Spectators lining College Avenue October 18 for GU’s annual Homecoming parade realized a double treat—60 entrants; that’s double the number from previous years. When GU Facilities Office Manager Tara Thompson ‘06 learned she had a double-sized parade to organize, she quickly assembled a hardworking team of 20 volunteers who directed floats along the route, drove vehicles, and provided wagons, trailers, candy, and other parade “necessities.” Afterward, Tara couldn’t say enough about her crew of “hardworking and dedicated volunteers.”

Thank you for serving!

PREVIEW OF PASSION Homecoming Guests Indulge in Mouthwatering Preview of SMART Center Restaurant Panther Palooza, the expanded Homecoming parade after-party, moved to Greenville’s town square this year for an evening of food, games, and live music. One extra attraction drew visitors: a preview of the first floor of GU’s newly-renovated SMART Center, including the much-anticipated Rocket Bowls restaurant, set to launch in 2020. Owner Eric Heckman and his wife Jenny, passionate chefs, will serve up cuisine influenced by Chinese, Korean, Hawaiian, Japanese, and other Asian foods. Alumni and local business leaders tasted samples from the menu on October 19—just enough to whet the appetite.

GU’s Jazz Band entertained the crowd at Panther Palooza, drawing folks in for a preview of Rocket Bowls.

MOHR’S FOUR Josiah Mohr ’19 likes a good puzzle, the kind that takes thoughtful conversation with friends and collaborators over unrushed cups of coffee to solve.

His four years at GU have afforded many such problem-solving conversations—serving and leading in student government, writing and editing for The Papyrus and Vista, engaging students as an RA and tutor. His double major in ministry and business doubled opportunities for dialogue in the Bastian School of Theology, Philosophy, and Ministry and the Briner School of Business. Conversations flowed in his role as teaching assistant and tutor to freshmen, and as a volunteer at The Simple Room afterschool program.

While Josiah values reminiscing about the past and imagining the future, he holds special regard for contemplating what infuses present challenges

with life and goodness and blessing. He takes that perspective with him wherever he goes, like the nonprofit organizations and churches he’s worked with in recent years, deepening his understanding of urban, cross-cultural, and international ministries.

In November, the Lincoln Academy of Illinois and Governor J.B. Pritzker honored Josiah for his leadership, service, and excellence in curricular and extra-curricular activities. Named “Student Laureate of the Academy,” Josiah received a check for $1,000.

He will pursue a career in community development and nonprofit administration.

Donors have helped fund Josiah’s work at GU through the McAllaster Honors Scholarship. Thank you for giving.

POURING THEIR HEARTS INTO HOSPITALITY

This year, a notable cohort—the largest incoming group of international students GU has ever welcomed—helped fill the circle. Sixty new students from 23 countries arrived this fall, bringing GU’s total count to about 100 students from more than 30 countries.

GU’s Dean of International Affairs Geet Vanaik credits the jump in enrollment to tireless efforts from her staff to create a supportive, welcoming environment for international students. Vanaik’s team overhauled GU’s international admissions process to make it more user friendly. They now rely on Skype interviews to personally guide each student through enrollment and immigration processes from afar. Once students arrive on campus, Vanaik’s team continues to go above and beyond for them. They drive students to appointments; help with bank account and phone setup; provide academic support; and stay available for texts and messages 24/7 to help students manage emergencies like illness, lost passports, or even a discouraging day.

ALUMNI NEWS 1960s A new scholarship fund named for Tom ’60 and Betty (Delamarter ’60)+ Morgan will honor Betty’s memory by assisting program participants at Eden’s Glory, a Greenville-based residential nonprofit. Eden’s Glory helps victims of human trafficking rebuild their lives, and educates residents of Bond County and surrounding areas on how to recognize and fight against human trafficking. Betty and Tom demonstrated love and hope to program participants by mentoring them, helping them run errands, providing baked goods “just because,” and a host of other acts. Recently, Eden’s Glory announced the Betty and Tom Matching Scholarship, which it will award to secondyear residents and graduates of Eden’s Glory. The fund will match whatever funds program participants have saved toward a new and independent life. “Betty was a believer in helping in whatever way she could while also encouraging independence and hard work,” said a statement from Eden’s Glory upon the announcement of the fund.
