BRILLIANT SOLUTIONS AND YOU, THE ENABLER

F

eeling stuck for solutions sometimes drives our students to prayer . . . like the unfinished 4’x 6’ canvas that gave art major Hannah Parkerson ’18 fits last spring. As Hannah tells it, frustration with her mixed media creation rose after she laid down the charcoal and tried applying paint: “The colors didn’t work and the paints wouldn’t blend.” She set the canvas aside for a while “to figure it out.” She prayed. God answered: “That’s Janelle’s side.”

Janelle, the six-year-old daughter of a friend, happily accepted Hannah’s invitation to join her in the studio one Saturday. “I told her this was her piece, and she could do whatever she wanted with the paint,” said Hannah.

“I’m the boss?” Janelle asked, wide-eyed.

“Of this painting,” said Hannah. So began a joyful exploration into creativity through a child’s eyes. Janelle’s huge imagination, penchant for rich colors and fearless experimentation drove the process. Her exuberant strokes filled the canvas just as her happy chatter filled the studio. The experience left Hannah fully satisfied. She knew it was God’s lavish response to her request for direction.

Creative problem solving fueled by prayer often yields surprising results. I was pleasantly surprised this year when several innovations from creative minds on campus drew state, regional and national recognition.

• A switch to energy-efficient lighting coupled with a plan to reinvest the savings in future “green” projects earned G.U. an Illinois Sustainability Award.

• A paperless system for paying accounts eliminated nearly 1,000 hours of monthly manual transactions and earned G.U. top recognition from the Central Association of Colleges and University Business Officers.

The joy of creation, a reminder of what can happen when we invite God into the creative process.

HANNAH PARKERSON ‘18

• Focus on continued improvement in campus safety put G.U. among the nation’s top five universities for safety and number one in Illinois.

Helping students by funding scholarships is always a priority. For the third straight year, you, our faithful Financial Champions, exceeded giving goals and supplied over $1M to The Greenville University Fund, a primary source for scholarships. You gave to endowed scholarships, too.

Each dollar you gave toward scholarships meant one less dollar diverted from building maintenance, growth initiatives and recruiting efforts to fill the scholarship gap.

You, dear friend of the University, are an enabler, in the best sense of the word. For that, on behalf of the entire G.U. community, I thank you.

Blessings,

Ivan L. Filby, President

Old Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, the Sea of Galilee, Capernaum, Caesarea, the pool at Bethesda—learning “on site” in Israel during Interterm compelled students to embrace historical geography in ways they had never expected. Upon return to campus they described the experience as challenging, intense, striking, life changing and energizing to their faith. “Every Christian should make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem at least once in their lifetime,” says Richard Huston ’78, professor of history who accompanied the students.

“Then Jesus was led into the wilderness to be tempted . . .”

Students survey the barren landscape between Jerusalem and Jericho (above) and learn on site from historical geographer Paul Wright (right). Enriching spiritual development for students is part of G.U.’s strategic plan.

SPRING TRAINING BOUND online masters degree in coaching program were on hand to field questions about taking coaching to the next level in a convenient virtual classroom format. The program covers character and faith development, an approach that resonates with parents and administrators, says G.U.’s Head Men’s Basketball Coach George Barber, who teaches in the program. The master’s in coaching course of studies, G.U.’s most popular graduate program, attracts participants from coast to coast.

CLASSROOM WITHOUT WALLS

YOUR HALF, OUR HALF: “WE CAN DO THIS!” The chill of February couldn’t stop the hum of productivity in the Greenville SMART building on the city’s historic square. Each week, teams of students enrolled in G.U.’s Experience First program worked out solutions to marketplace challenges, and high school students met daily as part of Bond County’s CEO (Creating Entrepreneurship Opportunities) program.

G.U. and the City of Greenville had just realized a $1M grant to renovate the building and make it home to programming that focuses on growing the local economy and providing students with learning opportunities. The grant—a hefty vote of confidence to this universitytown partnership—came from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA). A related press release said the renovated center will especially benefit the local food industry, a robust piece of southern Illinois’ economy.

Before the end of the year, G.U. and the City of Greenville collaborated again to hire Elaine McNamara as half-time director of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce and half-time director of Greenville SMART. McNamara will communicate with and promote Chamber programming for local businesses and connect businesses to the University’s groundbreaking Greenville SMART services.

“The addition of an employee who straddles both worlds will yield exciting results,” says Greenville University Executive Vice President Suzanne

ENGINEERED TO IMAGINE: ROBOTICS, AI, NANOTECH AND MORE Creativity may be the domain of the arts, but Professor Hyung Choi, head of physics and engineering at G.U., claims it as the domain of engineering, too. When engineers invent, they don’t merely apply established science. “We create something new that has never existed in this world,” he says . . . and God delights in creation.

In March, G.U. began publicizing its bachelor of science in engineering program, newly approved by the Higher Learning Commission. The program nurtures flexible thinking and creative problem solving for good reason: today’s engineers face uncharted waters in robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology and healthcare. Rapid technological advances demand nimble minds that can knit disparate ideas together.

The new program departs from the traditional model of siloed disciplines by integrating mechanical, electrical and computer engineering from day one. The blend equips students to imaginatively address challenges.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING

The BSE program offers tracks in mechanical engineering, civil/environmental engineering, engineering physics and engineering management. The management track allows an optional MBA in a fifth year of study. Students began declaring engineering as a major last spring.

Her success is your success: The donor-funded Engineering Scholarship and Leonard and Joyce Keillor International Scholarship give engineering major Ye Jin “Victoria” Han ‘20 access to Christ-centered science. Thank you for giving.

More than 70 employers and internship providers filled Crum Recreation Center to connect with students transitioning from college to career. Deloy Cole ’84, professor of digital media and computer information systems, says students trained in computer programming and web-development are in particular demand. He estimates that 90 percent of the students in his department secure a job in the industry within a year of graduation. Evaluations from supervisors in the tech sector who oversaw G.U. interns last summer revealed the value they place on good character in addition to skills. They commended students’ punctuality with projects, respect, diligence, passion for work and eagerness to learn. “If I could give our intern a six out of five for initiative, I would,” said one.

Today’s employers like those on campus last April (above) desire graduates who are responsible, work well on a team, know their strengths and are proactive.

Empowering students for lives of character and service remains relevant in today’s marketplace.

2018 GRADUATES MAKE HISTORY The Class of 2018 made history May 12, when students crossed the Commencement stage to receive congratulatory handshakes and diplomas. They were the first graduates to earn degrees from Greenville University, formerly Greenville College. President Ivan Filby also presented an honorary doctorate of laws to Roy Bahl ’61, regents professor of economics emeritus and founding dean of the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University. Bahl’s visit resurrected memories of his student days when he crossed campus to participate in Business Forum, play baseball, write for The Papyrus student newspaper and court Marilyn (Seifried ’63), his wife of 57 years. “Those years at Greenville were key to my figuring out who I was and what I wanted to do with my life,” Bahl recalls.

“Confound the critics. Turn your emotions into motion; your energy into beneficial synergy . . . turn them. Find your rhythm . . . make your mark. Seize the day!”

Commencement speaker, Ottawa University President Reggies Wenyika, shared how he rose from abuse and poverty as a child to positions of profound influence.

MAY

WEARABLE RESEARCH The end of classes in May marked the beginning of a journey deep into the world of computer programming and circuitry for summer science researchers Gabriella Pflederer ’21 and Qiaoren “Johnny” Wang ’21. The pair set out to design a 24-hour “smart” wearable health monitoring device that incorporates an electrocardiogram, infrared oximeter, temperature sensor, sound monitor, integrated motion tracking system, data processing and communication modules. The vast amount of data compelled the students to also create a data compression program. Current devices on the market lack portability and are inconvenient for users, making the students’ work particularly relevant, rewarding and inspiring.

Gabriella receives the donor-funded Engineering Scholarship and Wilson T. Hogue Award. Johnny receives the International Scholarship. Thank you for giving.

Greenville University welcomed Hong Kong executive Mary Pandora Cheung to campus, where President Ivan Filby named her an honorary international fellow. Miss Hong Kong 1975, Cheung is now a writer, educator, international etiquette expert and prolific philanthropist. Her life story embodies commitment to Christ and education. Abandoned by her family at a young age, she grew up in a Hong Kong orphanage. Her intense focus on education opened doors of opportunity ultimately to international work and her current role managing Mary Cheung & Associates. The business provides professional image consulting and business etiquette training for large corporations. A proponent of lifelong learning, Cheung asserts that a teacher’s character profoundly impacts students. Of her visit to campus, she enthused that the professors she met “really have a heart, and they love Jesus.”

DARE TO IMAGINE BETTER OUTCOMES

THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD SUMMER INTERNSHIP: IT HAPPENS Meet Intern X, whose summer practicum as a bank teller fell far short of ideal. In fact, some days it felt downright dysfunctional, like the day a co-worker declared it a “madhouse” and quit on the spot, or the day another left for lunch and never came back.

Field experiences are supposed to be about learning, acquiring skills and building a professional network; but what happens when they miss the mark on every count? Find value in the experience, says Jane Bell, professor in G.U.’s Briner School of Business. Be assured, it’s there.

Bell advises students to “study everything”—how supervisors manage, how they communicate and how they respond to challenges. “Take all that you have learned in your courses with you into the workplace and see how it is used, or how it’s not used.”

Intern X dialed up her observation skills and analyzed the high employee turnover problem. She noticed that insufficient skills eroded confidence; inexperience contributed to low morale; supervisors’ indecisions prolonged confusion; and repeated inefficiencies frustrated customers.

2018

JULY

She later told a story about inexperience in handling savings bonds that ended like this: “So there were three tellers and one supervisor staring dumbfounded at a savings bond while the customer waited.”

FINANCE TEAM GAINS NATIONAL RECOGNITION WITH WINNING BEST PRACTICE Competition sponsor: Central Association of College and University Business Officers (CACUBO) Challenge: Describe a process that uses customer-friendly business practices to improve efficiencies.

What we did: G.U.’s finance office implemented a campus-wide paperless system of payment by credit card that leveraged online capabilities. The practice saved the equivalent hours worked by one fulltime employee.

Results: Fifty percent reduction in paper invoices, a $10K cash rebate with G.U.’s credit card provider and the elimination of: • nearly 1,000 manual entries of transactions each month, • over 500 manually processed reimbursements each month, and • paper processing in 90 percent of the reimbursement and accounts payable processes.

Going the extra analysis mile, X made a mental note of needed improvements, including writing the steps down so all “would know what to do the next time.”

Bell has guided more than 100 students through the internship process. “Most practicums aren’t glamorous,” she says, adding that the students who get the most out of practicums are the ones who study how the workplace functions. “They learn by doing, and they learn by watching. I’ve never had a student tell me they were sorry they had a practicum.”

Intern X, determined to learn no matter the obstacles, is the grateful recipient of G.U.’s donor-funded Transfer Merit Scholarship. Thank you for giving.

KICKS FOR KIDS

For Lady Panther volleyball players (in the gray shirts, above) 2018 marked four years of Kicks for Kids and four consecutive years of conference wins.

Parents and faculty surround students during G.U.’s traditional planting of the ivy.

New student orientation commenced with a rush of activity—move-in day, music auditions, brunches, lunches and introductions. At the traditional ivy-planting covenant ceremony, President Ivan Filby officially welcomed new students and invited parents to prayerfully entrust their children to the G.U. community. Presently, students and faculty represent 36 nations—from Albania to Zambia—a snapshot of God’s diverse children.

“’For my name will be great among the nations,’ says the Lord of Hosts.”

– from Malachi 1:11 (NASB)

Research out of Duke University reveals that graduates who report high interaction with their international peers during college also report significantly greater cognitive skill development. Enhanced skills include quantitative abilities, critical thinking, independent acquisition of new skills and the formulation of creative ideas.

In August, Panther athletes helped kids in Bond County kick off the school year with new shoes. Four teams—men’s and women’s soccer, and men’s and women’s volleyball—joined forces to raise $3,000 and buy 90 pairs of shoes for area children. That’s a record number since Athletic Director Tom Ackerman ’99 and Assistant Professor of Social Work Carrie (Wickersham ’99) Ackerman started the annual service project in 2013. On delivery day, the Panthers fitted the kids with the new shoes and helped the youngsters break them in playing games.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING EARLY AND OFTEN

300 HOURS If “back to school” for your child means stepping into a classroom led by a G.U.-prepared teacher, be glad. So says a recent report from the Illinois State Board of Education.

“Ninety percent of the students of our alumni-teachers scored in the proficient or excellent range on state assessments,” said Lisa (Kettelkamp ’99) Amundson, dean of the School of Education.

Field experiences “early and often” contribute to that success. By the time teacher candidates at G.U. begin student teaching, they have acquired over 300 hours of experience and observation in classrooms including urban classrooms in St. Louis and East St. Louis. “This is highly unusual,” says Amundson. “It is even more unusual that this starts freshman year.”

INVESTMENT IN “GREEN” SAVES $10K ANNUALLY The Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) awarded Greenville University an Illinois Sustainability Award for significant achievements protecting the environment, helping sustain the future and improving the economy.

G.U.’s submission, “The Revolving Green Action Project,” involved two steps: (1) install energy-efficient LED lighting in H.J. Long Gymnasium and the Crum Recreation Center—a $10,619 yearly savings—and (2) reinvest the savings in future green projects. Investing in an energy-efficient infrastructure is part of G.U.’s fiveyear strategic plan.

Prior commitments prevented Rev. Yvi Martin ’01 from personally receiving G.U.’s 2018 Outstanding Young Alumna Award, but her sons, Ezekiel and Lazarus, proved capable stand-ins. Via video, Yvi shared with students how the broad learning experiences she embraced in college influenced her ministry. She encouraged them to make the most of each moment and showed them how, by earnestly acknowledging the present honor afforded her by G.U. “It gives me a new fire and a new vision going forward,” she said. “Greenville gave me that gift and honors me again today. I’m just grateful.”

A hard fought win against Webster University early in November advanced the men’s soccer team toward a conference title. Webster and G.U. played 110 minutes of scoreless soccer before the Panthers accomplished a 3-2 victory in penalty kicks. The following week, they took the conference championship with a 1-0 win over Iowa Wesleyan.

“The team is incredible all the way through,” said Panthers Assistant Coach Ben Wayman ’02. “From character to classroom to pitch . . . these guys are not only stellar players, but quality people.” That “quality” hails from Brazil, Canada, Columbia, Croatia, Egypt, Haiti, Mexico, Spain, Taiwan and the United States.

Goalkeeper Jesus Hernandez values the experience: “This program has given me more opportunities than I could have imagined.” It’s given G.U. more than talent on the field, too. Coaches say athletes like Jesus exemplify excellence on the field, in the classroom and in leadership.

“Jesus beautifully displays Greenville University’s commitment to educating students for lives of character and service,” says Wayman. “He regularly places the needs of his teammates before his own, and he does so with the kind of joy and humor that is symptomatic of a faithful disciple.”

ONE LAST HURRAH More than 70 students finished degree programs to graduate in December. Some capped off their studies with a semester of student teaching; others finished early, the payoff for summers dedicated to online classes and practicums. One December graduate—digital design major Jack Dawdy ’18—closed the books on his college career with a grand finale.

As creative director for G.U.’s student-produced Vista magazine, Jack was thrilled to help Vista advisor Lisa Sharpe claim the magazine’s first Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker award at the 2018 National College Media Convention in Louisville.

The Vista had previously received numerous American Advertising Awards, but this prestigious “best of the best” recognition represented a breakthrough. Greenville University was the smallest school among the winners and the only Christian school.

Eighty-nine publications were nominated for the award; 17 of 39 finalists gained Pacemaker recognition.
