SPRING 2014


a message from the president This Spring 2014 semester has heralded a lot of celebration on campus: from the opening and dedication of the new completed Allen Family Student Center to the celebration of LETU baseball team’s ASC championship tournament win, to our engineering students making, not just school history, but world history with a brand new Guinness World Record for the most 3D printers in operation simultaneously! All of this celebration is occurring in the same year we celebrate the 125th birthday year of our founder R.G. LeTourneau, who I daresay, would be very proud of this legacy that bears his name and continues to make an impact globally and locally. This spring we initiated several outreaches to make a targeted impact right here in our local Longview and East Texas community. Our LETU School of Business has partnered with the Longview Chamber of Commerce to incubate new businesses and spur the local economy by providing technical and consulting services to small businesses and nonprofits in Longview and East Texas. Our accounting students have helped local low-income and elderly residents with preparation of their tax returns. Another group of business students took on a project with the City of Kilgore to assist the human resources department to migrate toward a ‘merit based’ compensation program. We launched a new “Future of East Texas” grant program specifically to make LeTourneau University more affordable for East Texas students who want to live on campus and experience life on a Christcentered college campus. We also began a new counseling center that serves the needs of our current students and has already begun helping members of the community with professional counseling services. In each of these endeavors, we give our students opportunity to apply their education in hands-on

projects that help them see their surroundings as a mission field. We have continued our successful efforts to educate more students in graduate programs. As we aspire to claim the workplace for Christ, students coming from our graduate professional degree programs often have the opportunity to make a significant impact on their workplaces. This summer, Marsha and I are completing a busy seven years at LETU and are enjoying a threemonth sabbatical leave that will return us back to campus in early August. We're thankful that our Board of Trustees has extended us this short season of rest, reflection and renewal. We know God created each of us for both work and rest, and I’ve learned meaningful rest in the presidency is only possible with an extended time away from the sevendays-a-week activities of engaging with the university community. We're healthy. We're happy. We're hopeful about the future of the university and our opportunity to serve here for years to come. Next year we will begin the work of updating our university strategic plan to direct us to the year 2020. This summer is a good opportunity for me to again prayerfully pursue God's direction for the university. As much as LeTourneau continues to change, the school also continues to stay true to its historical roots of hands-on learning, ingenuity, personal relationship building, and the call of preparing to take Christ into workplaces everywhere.

LETU Offers New East Texas Grant


After nearly two years of construction, the new Anna Lee and Sidney Allen Family Student Center opened its doors on Monday, March 17, following a ribbon cutting on the patio near the university mall. LETU President Dr. Dale A. Lunsford, along with Student Body President Carly Robinson and named donors Anna Lee and Sidney Allen cut the ribbon to open the 65,000-square-foot building to students for the first time. The new student center was not slated to open until Fall 2014, but since it was ready early, Lunsford wanted to give this year’s graduating seniors a chance to enjoy it. The Allen Family Student Center is located in the high traffic center of campus along the university mall beside the Margaret Estes Library. The building is designed to serve as a dynamic hub for the entire campus to expand relationships and build community among students from all over campus.

Their excitement was obvious as students filled the new Anna Lee and Sidney Allen Family Student Center after chapel and got their first tours of the building. Student Life provided students with “passports� to have stamped at various locations around the building. Those completed, stamped passports then were used as entry forms for prize drawings.

LETU SETS WORLD RECORD FOR MOST 3D PRINTERS RUNNING SIMULTANEOUSLY!

The Solheim Arena was abuzz with excitement as engineering students began pouring in from all over campus, carrying their boxes and laptops, checking in and donning their commemorative orange T-shirts. They were about to make history.

H

istory was made on Friday, April 4, when LETU engineering students set the Guinness World Record for the greatest number of 3D printers running simultaneously. Only seven of the 109 3D printers that competed in the event did not work, resulting in the world record number of 102, as confirmed by a panel of independent witnesses. The students used their 3D printers to make a gear-shaped coin to commemorate the world record attempt. The evidence required by GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS®, including witness statements, video proof, photographs and media reports, was compiled and sent to London before the University was notified of its win. In an email of congratulations, the Records Management Team at GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® said: We are delighted to confirm that you have

successfully achieved a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® title for ’Most 3D printers operating simultaneously’ ....We would like to congratulate you on your recordbreaking achievement. You are OFFICIALLY AMAZING! The event was made possible because of the university’s first-ever requirement last fall for all of the incoming freshmen engineering students to build their own, individual 3D printers in their Introduction to Engineering Practices courses, taught by Dr. Jesse French and Dr. Byron Lichtenberg. “We are the only engineering program in the country that I know of that requires all of our freshmen engineering students to build their own 3D printers,” said LETU Dean of Engineering Dr. Ron DeLap. “This achievement is a result of their great work.”

You are officially amazing! – Guinness World Records® 8 | NOW Magazine | Spring 2014

CAMPAIGN UPDATE

A Testament to God's Faithfulness By Janet Ragland

“For Such a Time as This Campaign” reflects the generosity of the Lord and His people who have given to the mission, ministry and students of LETU. As of the beginning of May, more than $24.5 million has been pledged toward the $27.5 million goal! “These financial gifts help us provide significant benefit to students who otherwise could not attend LeTourneau,” said LETU Vice President for Enrollment Services Dr. Terry Dale Cruse. “The opening of the new Allen Family Student Center, which is funded by this campaign, has already made a huge impact on the quality of student life on campus and the ability for us to attract students to LETU.” LETU Executive Director for Development Eric McCrory said that LETU faculty, staff, students and friends of the university are already benefitting from the fruit of this “For Such a Time as This” universitywide comprehensive campaign. “We are so grateful to the Lord who has been faithful in using so many to answer His leading to give generously to the university,” McCrory 14 | NOW Magazine | Spring 2014

said. “Whether a gift goes to the Annual Fund in support of student scholarships, or whether a gift is specifically designated to one of the five pillars of our campaign, they all mean so much! “The opening of the Allen Family Student Center is a great example, but also we are seeing scholarship support for students increasing; YellowJacket sports teams, fans and students are already using the Joyce Family Athletic Village; the university’s Center for Faith and Work efforts are expanding; global service learning initiatives are growing; and academic excellence initiatives are helping LETU faculty and students have additional resources for hands-on learning projects.” But more funding is still needed. “Two Scripture passages continue to remind me that God is our Provider, that it is He who has been so generous to us and that He asks us to be generous as He leads us to give,” McCrory said. “Deuteronomy 8:18 states, ‘But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms His covenant, which He swore to your ancestors, as it is today,’” McCrory said. “Then, in 2 Corinthians 9:7-8, Paul


reminds us, ‘Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.’ “Both of these beloved passages remind me that God is at work in us and through us as He leads,” McCrory said. “Our role is to let those opportunities be made known to those whom He may choose to work through.” McCrory said he remembers fondly an old time hymn that he grew up singing in church: “The lyrics simply state, ‘Because I have been given much, I too must give,” McCrory said. “We at LeTourneau University are grateful to the Lord and thankful to all who have partnered with us and who will begin to partner with us as we follow His lead to prepare men and women to see their life’s work as a holy calling.” For more information, go to campaign.letu.edu. The LeTourneau University Annual Fund provides significant tuition discounts to students who otherwise could not attend LETU. Your gifts can help us reach our $750,000 goal by the end of June.

Local Outreach

LETU Opens New Counseling Center To Serve Students, Help Local Community, and Provide Clinical Experience for Graduate Psychology Students Written and photographed by Janet Ragland

J

udi Coyle smiles as she speaks to local pastors and church leaders, “Life is just too short to not be fully alive.” Coyle is the director of the new LeTourneau University Center for Counseling, which seeks to create partnerships with local churches and organizations and seek grants that would support the university’s newest outreach. The new counseling center serves three primary objectives: providing comprehensive professional marriage and family therapy services, providing graduate level training for students pursuing clinical licensure, and promoting family health in East Texas and beyond. The new center ministers to the community by providing affordable, high quality counseling services for the entire community, even to people who might not have been able to afford counseling without such a center. “I spent a week recently interacting with over 30 churches in the East Texas region, offering our services as a way to alleviate the load on their ministerial staff for the need for counseling in churches,” she said. “We offer services to children, adolescents, couples and families through individual and group counseling sessions in an effort to break down barriers to relational, spiritual and emotional health. Our goal is to provide a safe, professional context and direction for positive change by improving our relationship with self, others and God.” Coyle said counseling is a compassionate and educational discipline which encourages positive growth and change in life. In counseling, clients address the multitude of barriers which prevent them from being fully alive and thriving. As a licensed professional counselor for the past 15 years, Coyle sees counseling as an act of courage and honesty, as a decision to really live. She has found this positive perspective of counseling to be a good way to start a community conversation about mental health services. “Part of my life’s work is to reduce the stigma associated with receiving mental health services,” 16 | NOW Magazine | Spring 2014

Coyle said. “I remind folks that we are all more connected when we acknowledge brokenness, in our culture and neighborhoods, and sometimes within ourselves. “We want our community to know about LeTourneau University’s Center for Counseling long before a mental health crisis emerges,” she said. “My hope is that our East Texas community will use our services fully and be willing to share with others who may benefit from our services.” Counseling addresses issues including addictions, adolescent and childhood behavior problems, anxiety and depression, bereavement, impulse control problems, marital distress, personality disorders, sexual dysfunctions, spiritual issues, vocational and life transition challenges, trauma and abuse and a host of other mental health and interpersonal struggles. Coyle directed a large regional counseling center for a church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and also raised funds to establish a community counseling center for Richmont Graduate University. Now she uses all of that experience directing the new counseling center, located in Longview Hall at LETU’s main campus in Longview. Serving as both director and clinical faculty member, Coyle and other licensed clinicians oversee graduate students who provide counseling services to LETU students and members of the community. “When I go to churches and tell them how we are able to provide professional counseling and marriage and family therapy at a university-based center for members of our East Texas community at reasonable fees, the response from pastors, doctors, other referral professionals and family members has been outstanding. LETU’s Psychology Department serves around 200 graduate students who need clinical experience toward the end of their academic programs. “This new center serves as the teaching clinic of an amazing academic graduate program that has a Christcentered worldview and is immersed in effective,


empirically based treatment modalities,” Coyle said. “Our faith informs our practice, and our clinical compassion also informs our faith with the ultimate goal of encouraging growth of the whole person.” The LeTourneau University Center for Counseling got its start in the Fall of 2013, serving students and then expanding this past spring to become a needed outreach into the community. “Until last fall, the onus of counseling LETU students was on the Office of Student Life, which had one or two part-time counselors,” Coyle said. “When that responsibility was shifted over to the counseling center, we began expanding services because we were able to offer between six and eight graduate interns in the clinical portions of their programs to provide counseling services. Our graduate interns are under the supervision of licensed professionals in positions of responsibility and most of whom are all also seminary trained.” “Because our graduate students are under supervision, we are able to offer great counseling to the community at only a fraction of the typical cost for such services,” she said. “We also have licensed professional counselors and clinical licensed faculty who have associated their practices with our center who see clients at higher price points.” LETU offers two licensure-track graduate degree programs in Christ-centered professional counseling

and marriage and family therapy. Students may complete their degrees online, through a face-to-face traditional program, or through a hybrid model—a combination of the two that is available in both Longview and Dallas. Incoming freshmen students also can earn their bachelor’s and master’s degrees in a new, five-year program that prepares them for licensure. “Counseling can be helpful for people of all ages, for various reasons, and during any season of life,” Coyle said. “Our counselors work with clients to address any number of issues, and each counselor is committed to helping within a Christian framework. Whether they are seeking treatment for a diagnosed mental illness or needing help with relational or personal growth, family concerns, or the stressors of daily life, our goal is to help individuals, couples, and families work toward solutions.” n

For more information on LETU’s new Center for Counseling, the Master of Arts in Counseling or the Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, visit the website at www.letu.edu/counselingcenter. To offset operational expenses and allow the center to continue to provide low-cost services, the counseling center accepts donations and grants.

Righteous Written and Photographed by Rachel Stallard

Rides

Two 10-year-old boys tinker with their bicycles in the garage. The two had met in Sunday School at a church outside St. Louis, Missouri, becoming fast friends and spending weekends together over the years, working on bikes, mini bikes, motorcycles, and eventually, cars. When the young men went off to LeTourneau College in 1977 to study business, they thought they might someday even start a business together.

Little did they know then that their dream would eventually come true – 40 years later – with another garage collaboration that would be fine-tuned for missionary families who need reliable transportation during furloughs. LETU alumni Mark Reighard and Bret Byus have been renting vehicles to furloughed missionaries through the nonprofit they founded since January 2007. That year, Righteous Rides put five Chrysler mini-vans on the road. Today, Byus keeps an eye on maintenance issues in their 70-vehicle fleet at their base camp at Moscow Mills, Missouri. Byus addressed power-train and electrical issues, as well as realized efficiencies in parts, labor and troubleshooting, by communizing their fleet. Through God’s providence, the nonprofit was able to purchase a 10-year-old dealership in a nearby town in Missouri—at a third of the original asking price. Their new facility sits on 10 acres, has parking for 850, sports a 20,000-square-foot building, and features an 8,000-square-foot showroom that’s currently being leased by a start-up church of 350. “It’s incredible the way God orchestrated all of these pieces,” Reighard said. “We didn’t need the showroom, and the church’s rent is paying for our note on the building. God closed the door on other facilities we were looking at, and kept anyone else from buying this one, just so we could have the facility at that specific time in the life of Righteous Rides. It wouldn’t have worked any sooner, or any later.” “We truly have the facility now that we need,” Byus said. “We could operate a fleet of 4,000 to 5,000 out of 18 | NOW Magazine | Spring 2014

there with no problem. Everything we need is there.” After graduating from LeTourneau, the two had taken separate career paths— Byus went to Chrysler; Reighard to Boeing. They each returned to their hometown in 2005 with the intention of shifting gears. “We were sitting around one day, talking about what we could do that would use the skills God’s given us, and all this work we’ve been doing chasing money in our careers, that would be Kingdom work,” Reighard said. “Because of our friendships with missionaries, we knew there was a need for affordable, reliable transportation, so we said, ‘Let’s buy a van and let them use it.’” Reighard brought his business experience incorporating a 501(c)(3) with tax exemption status. Byus used what he had learned from his “day job” to introduce a reliable vehicle he knew inside and out. Staying in contact with LETU friends was also a motivating force in their decision to start the nonprofit. “Of all of our colleagues we went to school with, it seemed like maybe 30% of them ended up in international missions,” Byus said. “We saw first-hand that one of their main concerns when they came home was finding something to drive.” Some of the challenges included where to find a car, how to buy a car (with no credit, insurance or experience), who to turn to if it breaks down and what to do with it upon returning to the mission field.

LETU to mentor new Businesses Written by Janet Ragland

L

eTourneau University’s School of Business is making an impact locally through expanding relationships with the Longview Chamber of Commerce, the City of Kilgore and new businesses in the East Texas area. The school is providing a variety of hands-on outreach projects that give LETU business students practical, real-world experience that will reflect on their resumes and springboard them into successful internships and careers.

LETU students recently conducted research and revamped the human resources initiatives for the City of Kilgore to move it to a “merit-based” compensation system, instead of a seniority-based system. Kilgore City Manager Scott Sellers said the work done by the LETU students has already paid dividends. “Through the study, Kilgore has updated its vision, mission and values statements, implemented a new Human Resources Information System, refined job descriptions, and established a meritbased compensation system,” Sellers said. “I am pleased to have forged a lasting relationship with a locally prominent institution. This study was a win-win for both LeTourneau and Kilgore.”

The LETU School of Business also has partnered with the Longview Chamber of Commerce, which is providing downtown office space and technical support for LETU’s newly launched Enactus Club, a student entrepreneurship initiative that unites students from diverse degree programs across the university to work together in launching businesses. The students also will serve as consultants to local small businesses and nonprofits. Enactus is an international nonprofit organization that brings together student, academic and business leaders committed to using the power of entrepreneurial action to improve quality of life and standard of living. “LETU students can provide services to new businesses in areas such as marketing, fundraising, accounting, web design, IT infrastructure, and technical feasibility,” said LETU business dean Dr. Bruce A. Bowman. “This partnership affords LeTourneau University access to the local business community and a full range of Chamber activities and gives students hands-on experience along with corporate sponsor and faculty oversight. “LETU students also will help the Chamber grow its membership by providing marketing assistance and planning outreach initiatives,” Bowman said. “Our students will be after-school mentors to students at Forest Park Middle School and mentors to the Longview Chamber’s Young Entrepreneurs Academy program. The experience not only transforms lives, it helps students of all ages develop the kind of talent and perspective that are essential to leadership in an ever-more complicated and challenging business world,” Bowman said. n

LeTourneau University began offering its first graduate program, an MBA, in 1992. Since LETU began offering that first graduate degree, more graduate degrees have followed, with a variety of specializations designed specifically to meet the demand for higher education in the workplace. LETU’s newest graduate degree program, slated to launch in Spring 2015 pending approval from SACSCOC, is the Master of Engineering Management, a collaborative program between the School of Business and School of Engineering. LETU will also launch a new Professional Master of Business Administration designed for professionals seeking to advance professionally by strengthening their skills in our ever-expanding technological age.

As with all of LETU programs, the graduate programs emphasize ethics, integrity and ingenuity throughout the curriculum. Some of the graduate programs are fully online and attract students from all over the globe. Other LETU graduate programs are offered in classrooms in Dallas, Houston or Longview, and some of the programs are delivered in a hybrid modality, with some online and some face-to-face coursework. All LETU graduate programs are consistent with LETU’s heritage and are based on a Christ-centered worldview. With the expansion of graduate programs, LETU has established The Graduate School at LeTourneau University, an administrative unit led by Dr. Robert W. Hudson, who serves as vice president and dean. Hudson collaborates with the university’s academic schools to oversee development of professional graduate educational initiatives, including on-ground and hybrid degree programs, professional certification programs and university-to-business educational partnerships. The Graduate School also works in conjunction with the university’s Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning (CITL) to foster innovative delivery models that are valued and proven. “LETU was an early adopter of professional level education and online learning,” Hudson said. “The Graduate School seeks to expand the reach of the university through graduate programs regionally and globally. We seek to educate the next generation of scholars, professionals and global leaders in a competitive, knowledge-based world.” n LeTourneau University | 21


“I’ve realized God uses our different personalities and our experiences to help us be better counselors.” —DR. MALINDA FASOL

Dr. Malinda Fasol Grounded in Faith to Heal the Hurting Written by Rachel Stallard, Photographed by Tom Barnard

S

itting in her theater class at William Jewell College, Malinda Fasol was perplexed. She had just returned from a long break at home, catching up with old friends before returning to her studies in Liberty, Missouri. As she had stood in the church foyer that weekend, relishing in a moment from one of her speech communication classes, her parent’s friend looked at her, puzzled. “I thought you were studying to be a counselor,” the older woman said. It was a conversation Malinda was finding herself having more often. “I knew God was speaking to me about the importance of being a counselor, but I didn’t want to hear it. So then He started using other people,” recalls the assistant professor who is eager to welcome the first cohort of LETU’s new Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy program in the Dallas Educational Center this fall. “I had to go back to God and say, ‘OK, you win.’ Of course, now I can’t imagine doing anything else. His way is always perfect, but it took me a while to get that.” Fasol always knew she wanted to teach. Her dad had been a professor at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, and she, too, enjoyed the academic field. “On the other hand, I knew it was so important to have experience in a field like counseling,” she said. As she got into her graduate level classes in Marriage & Family Counseling at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, she said she could relate more to the professors who went beyond the textbook. “I could tell I needed a lot more experience if I was going to do this, and God worked it out for me to get 10 years in the field before I went into teaching,” she said. In addition to working at a psychiatric hospital, a church, and a social service organization, Fasol joined in private practice with another Southwestern alum shortly after finishing her dissertation. The two started Focus for Living in Burleson, Texas, where Fasol is a state Licensed Professional Counselor, a neurotherapist and a psychotherapist.

Fasol is picking up the teaching mantle for LETU in an area of sore need. Nationally, 50% of first-time marriages end in divorce. In the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, which more than six million people call home, those statistics are elevated to 60%. Additionally, Texas leads the nation in child abuse deaths, with 60% of those deaths being children younger than 6. “There’s a great need for family therapists in this area, but there’s an even greater need to have them trained with a Christian background,” Fasol said. “We want students qualified in clinical knowledge, counseling skills, and ethical character, but the foundation of it all has to be from a biblical objective.” Upon completing LETU’s new MAMFT program, graduates can apply to be a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) or a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Today, Marriage and Family Therapy is rated as one of the top careers and is a core mental-health profession. Nearly 1.8 million people are now receiving treatment from a marriage and family therapist, making job opportunities abundant in such areas as: church, community, government, military, hospital, school and educational settings, and society at large. Fasol hopes to continue her work in counseling alongside her teaching, so she can stay current. “I think it helps students have a better understanding when their professors are in clinical practice, because that experience gives professors a wealth of knowledge to draw from,” Fasol said. “I’ve realized God uses our different personalities and our experiences to help us be better counselors,” she said. “It really is a privilege, and quite an honor, for someone who doesn’t even know you to share their deepest, darkest secrets; and we’re the holder of those secrets. It’s an honor to help that person— to walk alongside them and be there as God brings healing into their life. What makes a great counselor isn’t about us. It’s through God’s power, and by allowing the Holy Spirit to work through us, that we will see results.” n
