Itbegan more than three decades ago What started as one man's vision has developed into the world's largest distinctively Christian University in just thirty-three years. Founder and Chancellor, Dr. Jerry Falwell birthed the dream to build a University that was both academically excellent and spiritually vibrant. Today itrepresents all fifty statesand forty-eight nations from around the globe. Each one brings differentperspectives, goals,and walks of lifethat help encourage,challenge and expand the vision. Each new classdefines the next generation of champions. Each person helps fulfillthe vision and itbecomes part of each individual Even when we are gone from thisplace we carry part of Liberty University with us W e treasure the moments with the body offriends and believers with whom we shared laughter and tears W e reflecton the personal quiet times and congregational gatherings lead by the Spirit of the Lord. W e remember the mind that cultivated and learned after cramming for exams or pulling all-nighters in the computer lab. W e shared a common purpose as we stretched ourselves to be involved and give of our talents. Together, all these elements make us who we are. They help form one person, a fullentity,which becomes part of one body, fulfilling one man's vision
"So in Christ wewho are many form one body, and each member belongsto the others." Romans 12:5
Another new school year brought another year ofdevelopment. Closeto 7,000 undergraduate students attended classes on campus,which brought expanding classrooms and additional faculty Nearly 4,000 ofthose students resided on campus. History began torepeat itself asthe university grounds extended across the community. Memories of the Stewart Arms Hotel that temporarily housed students more than 20 years ago were recounted with familiarity asstudents were again living inarea hotels untilthe completion ofCampus East inNovember 2003 The changing faces and structures on Liberty Mountain tell thestory ofa vision unfolding. Even asthe growth continues and thedream ofone man becomes reality, each person holds a specialpart inthe history being made. Every professor,staffmember, student, prayer warrior andthe countless individuals behind the scenes,help to inscribe theevolving chronicle of Liberty University
It's the view of the white towering columns and ascending steps of the Arthur S. DeMos s Learning Center that evokes pride in the heart of all wh o have ever been touched by the vision of Liberty. During the summe r month s each detail of the Gran d Lobb y wa s meticulously crafted to mak e a lasting impression o n visitors and students. A s visitors enter the mai n building, they are greeted with an abundance of symbolism and a Jeffersonian design Wit h its sky blue walls and off-white trim, the Gran d Lobb y gives tribute to the style of colonial America. Th e seal of the University is in the center of the room . Painstakingly embedde d into the white marblefloor,the brass seal gives the grand roo m an enduring mar k of academic achievement. Hanging several feet above the seal is an original wor k of art.
Fro m its intricate brass moldings of spears, axes, ribbons, eagles, and doves to its glassflamesthat outline each tier, each detail of the 1,400 pound , three-tiered "Liberty Torch" displays significant aspects of the University. T o therightand left of the entrance sits the Visitor's Center and the Jerry Falwell Library/Museum. Th e museum , designed by Falwell's sons, wa s opened to celebrate his 70th birthday in August. Sights and sounds of Falwell's past fill the air and transports visitors into the heart of Liberty's visionary. Th e Visitor's Center wa s opened just in time for Homecomin g guests wh o were welcomed by a 40-seat theatre and a 12minute video o n the founding of Liberty. Th e Gran d Lobb y is the showcase of the campu s and as Falwell says, "the handshake of Liberty University."
The music's pumping, so loud it drowns out the events of the day A gathering of friends makes the everyday ritualof dining on campus asocial occasion. Thursday night's hallmeeting turns precious study time into a chance to cross pathswi| people you haven't seen since last week. From roommates toclassmates,spirituality and academics; people,events and circumstances work together to shape our lives.+ Outside of church services, convocation and prayer groups, the central theme our livesis our faith. From the Block Party tothe Homecoming Parade,to Spiritual Emphasis Week and Super Conference, the faith each one ofus possesses is interwoven into the daily aspects of life.

It's the unabashed support in the heartbeat of anyone who wants to see their school be #1. It'sthe hope of every devoted fan. It's the swaying flags,the cheering crowd, the pounding feet,the clapping hands. It's the focused player,the fastestrunner, the fiercest competitor. It'sthe jerseys,the huddles,the cheerleaders, the music, the scoreboard It'sthe person who prances around dressed likean eaglejustto get the crowd pumped It's the chanting football fans with school colors painted on their faces. It's the sweat,the tears,the screams,the prayers,thefight,the champion Itis the one thing that brings students together. But it is not for the faintof heart. Itis a commitment of unwavering devotion to stand up and cheer even in the face of loss. And it willliveon in the hearts of those who choose to stand up and letit in.
Thefireon Liberty Mountain burned bright on Saturday, October 4 as Liberty geared up for Homecoming. From the parade down University Boulevard to the heart stopping fourth quarter comeback by the football team, thisyear's Homecoming was truly one fullof surprises and miracles. The Board of Regents and Alumni were in town for the weekend to tour the new facilities, while the student body prepared their floats and banners to cheer the Flames on tovictory This year's Homecoming Parade held an extra incentive for students toparticipate The grand prize winner received dinner for 25 students at Neighbor's Place,a local restaurant.The prize went to the Nursing department'sfloatfeaturing "the biggest needle ever." The night was made special by
the football team's victory over Virginia Military Institute,31-28, after being down 20 points atthe half The crowd was so excited about the comeback that they rushed the field twice. The win was afittingreward for both the team and the fans who came out ready to ignite the fire.

One of the fundamentals of our faith is prayer. Liberty was builtout of a vision,unwavering faith and fervent prayer That freedom of expression remains a lifeline of this campus today. Students have the opportunity tojoin together through weekly prayer groups, See You atthe Pole, and the biannual allnight of prayer. Organized prayer meetings are not always necessary At any given moment a student can feel the freedom to cry out to God inprayer; a group of believers can be seen stopping their normal routines to agree inprayer on behalf of another. The need each student carries can sometimes be an enormous burden, but seeking the face of God can always bring an answer toprayer.

Eight o'clock Monday morning on October 5, studentsfilledthe Vines Center and the Main Campus Annex for Super Conference 2003. Three days of classeswere cancelled so the students could participate.Some students were hesitant about attending the conference but it was clear that the wisdom and practical advice shared by Rick Warren was a message for all. A wide variety of workshops were offered on Wednesday to equip individuals with powerful information and tools to help in specific areas of need By allowing the students of Liberty to participate in Super Conference, they became a part of a mission thatis changing people and communities across America. After the Conference, the entire campus community began the 40 days of Purpose with Warren's book, "Purpose Driven Life"
Over 200 students,faculty and staffgathered around the Prayer Chapel on the Friday night before Spiritual Emphasis Week. They joined together to pray all night for the week to come and to dedicate the school to the Lord and ask Him to glorify himself on the campus and inthe student body Sunday's services brought an air of excitement as studentsfilledthe Vines Center Accomplished speaker David Nasser brought his weeklong series on the Amazing Grace of God, speaking from Ephesians 2. Nasser related with the students right away, appealing to them with times of evaluation,confession,discussion,and
decision. He translated the Word of God and brought it to a personal and challenging level where everyone was able to understand. Senior, Nathan Ridlehoover commented, "This is a time with the Lord that gives you an opportunity to listento a dynamic speaker." On Wednesday night,over 2,900 students arrived in the Vines Center eager to learn more. Believers were renewed and brought to a better understanding of the Word of God Many students were ledto makefirst-timesalvation decisions or dedicate their livesto Christ. The student body was transformed through that week.
On e thing remained constant at Liberty and that was the lifeline of faith in each person's life. Th e intricate network of leaders, from campus pastors to prayer leaders, played an important role in sustaining that faith With almost 4,000 resident students, there was an enormous need for student leaders to get involved as RA's, SLD's and prayer leaders. Johnnie Moor e joined the Campu s Pastor's staff fulfilling duties all over campus, including the responsibility of Sunday morning campus church services. Commute r students were not to be forgotten with the Commute r Force offering off-campus prayer groups led by students in their ow n home s and apartments. These prayer groups allowed the spiritual leadership and discipleship process enjoyed on campus to continue off-campus as well.

Every leader knows thatrewards do not come without sacrifice. Enter a typical day inthe lifeof a Liberty resident hall leader. Wake up, go to classes, accountability during lunch,more classes, "Dwayne meetings," RA group meetings, R A Forums, prayer groups, "Big Four," RHLM, and homework. When asked if they regret their position,they gave a resounding "no". Even with all the hard work there was occasionally time for fun. Leadership retreats,prayer group wars, and random scavenger hunts were activitiesmeant for team building but also provided a muchneeded outlet "The biggest reward of being in a leadership position,"said SLD Rachel Kolb, "is being able to see your hard work pay offas you watch the people you minister to grow to become more like Christ." Student leadership continues to be a catalystfor spiritual growth among students. When all is said and done,the impact of one prayer could change eternity. Liberty's spiritualheritage makes it distinct; that is why student leaders accepted their hectic schedules with pride and humility.

Liberty was host to many of the hottest Christian music artists' in the country. During the year,Student Life put on the crowded, thrilling concerts with more than 10,000 students attending Switchfoot started offthe 2003-2004 school year performing atthe annual block party,followed by the tradition of fireworks. In September of 2003, Five Iron Frenzy's farewell tour came to Liberty. Senior Aaron Borsay said,"Five Iron Frenzy was the best concert because I've always loved them since Iwas injunior high;Switchfoot wasn't bad either." The "Ihave a dream tour",featuring Toby Mac and Kirk Franklin,was hosted inthe Vines Center with fanatical studentapproval. Senior Carl Hatwood feltthe concert "bridged the gap between two different cultures and two different kinds of music." Though the concert was entertainment for the students,other values still reigned supreme.

"Ihave seen a lotof concerts,but these guys definitely had the spiritin them," saidjunior Vannessa Duebell Senior Polly Parman agreed, saying,"Ihad a really good time at the Toby Mac concert I thought that Student Life did a really good job putting it together." The Passion Experience brought with it a revival for those who attended. More thanjust a concert,the three hours werefilledwith music,preaching and prayer. Preacher Louie Giglio encouraged the students to be a light to the world The Spring semester saw another crowd-pleaser with Pillar and the Adoration tour,featuring the Newsboys, Rebecca St. James and Jeremy Camp Jeremy Camp opened the night by setting the tone for worship,saying to the crowd, "It doesn't matter how we feel. Our God isworthy to be worshipped no matter what." Each group had their own unique sound but each concert brought entertainment and worship in astyle that everyone could enjoy.

Construction has become an integral part of the campus with the continued growth This year saw additions and improvements to broaden the eating selections on campus. The Jazzman's Cafe, located on the second floor of DeMoss Hall in the computer lab, gave students and faculty a place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. Cafe A La Carte wasn't new to campus but thisyear brought a whole new look. Located on thefirstfloor of Demoss Hall,the brightly painted walls and tables and chairsquickly became a student hot-spot Reber-Thomas Dining Hallalso received a face-lift. From the food service stations,to the dining area,and the walls and decorations,everything was redone. With the additional options to choose from and the remodeling that took place,the eating choices on campus gave students a chance to satisfy theirappetites.

Liberty is growing. With the largest freshmen classin the history ofthe University,the entire campus, students and staffalike,had to deal with the growing pains Construction continued throughout the year to accomodate the increased population.
Traffic was often backed up to get on and off campus. Lines in the dining hall,atthe post office,and in the bookstore became even longer An increase incommuter parking left the staffto park atthe Main Campus Annex and either walk or ride a shuttle to work.
With Dr Falwell's vision of 10,000 students on campus in the next few years,adjustments, construction and patience must continue as we continue to grow
In Matthew 28:18-20, God gave every Christian a mission to spread the gospel of Christ to every person and every place Through Christian Community Service,students were able to fulfill that mission The CSER program is required for allstudents,but the experiences proved to be much more than a credit;they were a blessing. The mission outlined for students by the Christian Community Service Office is to affirm the Christian worldview and provide a practical expression of God's love for mankind. Students could be seen working allthroughout the central Virginia area Liberty University Christian Service workers were seen inlocal churches as youth pastors,Sunday school teachers,counselors and tutors. In the community, students were found serving as domestic violence counselors,working with Habitat for Humanity or atthe localboys'and girls' homes. Whether serving on a ministry team traveling up and down the eastcoast or babysitting children, students realized the privilege of giving of themselves for another. Regardless of what position students served in,they found they were impacting liveswith the message of Christ by putting hands and feet to the Gospel.
The Flames Reading Club is an example of one of the Christian Community Services in which students were involved. About 150 Liberty students read once a week to children in the Lynchburg school system. Ranging from second grade throughfifthgrade,volunteers helped students struggling to read attheir appropriate grade levels Jamie Iverson,one of the volunteers, said, "It's fun to get to go to the schools and read to the students." The Flames Reading Club was the brainchild of President Borek and Men's Basketball Coach Randy Dunton. Dunton said,"The ability to read is the foundation of education One of the goals of the Flames Club was to strengthen thefibersof our community." The kickoff for the club brought Liberty students and elementary school kids together in the Vines Center as Dr Borek spoke on the importance ofreading Everyone received a T-shirt for theirparticipation inthe program, but the biggest reward was seen on the faces of the children who had been helped by Liberty's own

For most students,summer was a needed break from the stresses of college life. Some spenttheir summers athome building their nest egg of cash for the coming year,while others used their time to travel and seek adventure A large number of the student body used their time to give back to others From working ata church camp cooking, cleaning and bringing young soulsto Christ,to traveling around the globe building churches,helping in orphanages and spreading the Word of God, students used their summer to serve There were a few diligentsouls that could be found still on campus taking summer classes or training for different athletic teams. No matter where one decided to spend their summer, memories and lifeexperiences were sure to follow.

Spending a summer, Spring Break or even Christmas ina foreign country proved to be the experience of a lifetime for some students. Argentina, Ecuador, and Guatemala werejusta few of the many destinations students had the opportunity to visit Most of the trips, led by Light Ministries,allowed students to simultaneously experience culture and spread God's word Liberty senior,Elizabeth Anspach, who went to Argentina in 2002 said,"Liberty gives us the opportunity to get out and go It'salmost too easy There's no better time to explore missions than incollege because you can still get people to support your trip, but you're mature enough to really soakit all inand discern God's willfor your life." Chris Clemmons also experienced the wealth of missions by going to Guatemala in 2003. "We were there for 10 days and itwas one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.Ihave been a part ofshortterm missions before,butthis was the best trip I have been on," Clemmons said Light Ministries tripswere offered all throughout the year to anyone willing to go Anspach added, "Ifyou choose not to go on atleastone missions tripwhile at LU, you arereally robbing yourself from alifechanging experience."

Tradition could be found in allshapes and sizes among today's culture. Some events were more subdued and some extreme. Things were no different in the Liberty world. Tradition wore many faces on the busy campus. Whether it was painting the Spirit Rock, enjoying the occasional day offdue to snow or hanging out during the infamous Open Dorms, Liberty students knew thatvarying forms of tradition were a driving force on campus As years pass,there were some traditions thatevolved as each class
experienced their own version of a popular pasttime. There were some traditions,however, that never changed. Senior Psychology major Brenda Haley shared her thoughts on her favorite LU tradition."Iwould definitely have to go with snow days! I love them because you can sleep in, hang out with friends,and play inthe snow and I guess if you're feeling completely nerdy,you can study! Seriously,those days are the best days of the semester," she said. Brian Fraser, SGA president described one ofhis favorite traditions;"Ilove the All Night of Prayer. I think it's a great tradition because, well,it's weird how it always rains,but it's awesome to see the whole campus come together and pray for hours!" Traditions like these and others werejusta few of the things thatstudents looked forward to year afteryear
Thousands flooded into the Vines Center each Monday, Wednesday and Friday for traditional ten o'clock convocation. Although the campus was growing larger and familiar faces were seen less, the family gathered three mornings a week. Filling the Vines Center to capacity while worshipping the Lord was a feeling like no other This year brought many changes aimed atunifying the students,faculty and staff The most controversial change was the enforcement of attendance for commuter students. The new Liberty One Card was swiped by commuters in order to take attendance every Wednesday One of the students'favorite additionsto convocation was "Meet the Faculty" where new faculty members were presented through multimedia interviews about how they ended up at Liberty The interviews shed lighton the professors' purpose and testimony Even with an almost filledarena, convocation still proved tobe a gathering for thegrowing Libertyfamily

Many cultures are represented on Liberty's campus Even with a diverse setting,it is hard for some students to find a styleof worship and celebration that is similar to what they were used to intheir home churches. Liberty provided a variety of cultural celebrations and studentled worship activitiesto meet the different needs of the students. Events such asthe International Thanksgiving Dinner,a dinner for students who could not travel home for Thanksgiving Break,the International Food Festival,where students sampled food from all over the world, and the Noche De Fiesta, celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, all exposed students to new and exciting aspects of cultures they were not familiar with. L.O.V.E, Ladies of Virtue and Excellence,offered a ladies fellowship to women seeking to serve the Lord.
L.O.V.E exhaustively looked atwhat it meant to be Godly women and the struggles facing Christian women inthe world today. Another student-led worship activity that had a big impact on campus was True Worshippers. True Worshippers provided a multi-cultural worship experience,inviting studentsto worship in their native cultureswhile encouraging others to participatein diverse methods of praising the Lord. The Bible speaks of all the nations and tribes of the earth united and singing God's praises inheaven and the mission of True Worshippers was to see that happen on earth as well.With such a diverse population at Liberty,the many different activitieshelped integrate faith and culture and unify the campus community
They sit across from the main campus, separated by the highway. They stand as a testament to the growth of Liberty University. The new dorms, known as "Campus East",have become a reality. In record time new dormitories sprung up across 460 and were quickly occupied by eager students willingto pay an extra $500 a semester for the luxury of two students to a room. Other amenities came with the apartment-style residencies, including: a dishwasher,walk-in closets, private bathrooms and laundry facilitiesineach apartment. Julio Batista and Sophia Womack were two students who took advantage of the new realestate. Both lived in Campus East and feltthe positives far outweighed thenegatives. "We are spoiled rotten,"said Batista "We are so comfortable that it feels likeyou're at home with your family." Batista continued, "I like being able to go outside of your room and hang out in front of a TV, or cook with your roomies and eat a meal together."
Womack, a senior and R A on dorm CE 19-3, said,"The laundry facilitiesare great and we have more space over here. Just the comforts of having an 'apartment'are great." The disadvantages were few. "Ireally don't like the long walk and the mud. Sometimes the phones can be problematic as well. But the comfortof these dorms makes it all worth it," Womack said Batista agreed saying,"Sometimes we do feela littledisconnected from the main campus. W e are in our own world,being that we are so far away, and we do have drasticly different living conditions. But our friends come over and visit. Ifanyone were to ask me if it's worth the extra 500 bucks",said Batista "I would say most definitely!"

Good friends and good times made dorm lifememorable forstudents. When not studying or sleeping, students managed to squeeze in late night talks,movie nights and plenty of food to go along with roommate bonding. Student leaders helped unify students on their hallsby coming up with unique hallthemes, ranging from being a "Living Fragrance ofChrist", to bearing the "Fruits of the Spirit" in one's life. Stacey Holliday,ajunior from Alexandria,VA, said,"Livingin the dorms thisyear gave me the opportunity to meet great new friends and provided the added bonus of a short walk to class." Holliday's advice for new students was to work hard, meet new people and to not talkin convocation. Jon Dickinson,ajunior from Galeton,PA, who came here for the sole purpose of meeting women, said he enjoyed most of all the nightlife in the dorms In hisfree time, Dickinson and hisfriends had fun watching movies,playing games or hanging out atthe computer lab

He said hisfavorite perks from livingoffcampus were "The Daily Show, my George Foreman Grilland never having to wear shower shoes!" Living offcampus came with a new sense of responsibility,with some students learning the true essence of smart spending. When asked what he spent his lastfivebucks on, Jones quickly replied, "Lender's Bagels,a pack of hot dogs, and Ramen noodles."

Imagine packing your bags and heading offto college,leaving your parents and your home and everything else thatis familiar. Now imagine going halfway around the world and attending college ina country you've never been inbefore, with a language you've never spoken. For hundreds of Korean students, that was the reality they faced when they made the decision to attend Liberty University. "It's hard tolive in another country without my family and having to learn another language," saidJinheeJin,a sophomore Graphic Design major. James Shin-Woo Kang decided to come to Liberty after studying English atan American Boarding School in Malaysia. "My English teacher recommended Liberty because of the Christian environment where I can grow spiritually,"he said. Kang and Jin both agreed there were many adjustments they had to make "The good thing is that there are so many good Christian people who are really nice to international students and they help us when we're in need The bad thing is that sometimesit's hard for international studentsto keep up because of the language barriers," Jin said. Quick friendships with other Korean students and support from the community, made Liberty their home away from home.

This year "weapons of mass destruction" (WMD) became a common phrase and the national terror advisory system became a daily topic on the evening news.

It began nearly thirty years ago. Coach Matt Royer first came to Liberty University in 1976 to play on the Liberty Flames Baseball team. Almost thirty years later he returned as the head coach. The 2004 season was only his second as the Flames'head coach but it proved to be a year for substantial growth "We have a very young team, with only one graduating senior, so thiswas a year that we set out to build our program," said Royer. The team took on the challenge of sometimes starting up to fivefreshmen against a competitive schedule and amidst a number of injuries. "They really stayed together and battled through the challenges," Royer said, "They learned one of life'smost important lessons -don'tquit." Coach Royer admitted that God miraculously brought him back to Liberty to instillin his players what his coach taught him. "Iplayed for Al Worthington, the man who thisfieldisnamed after, and he stood for character. I want to win,but I want to win the right way," he said The foundation was laid decades ago and now the playerturned-coach came to develop his team to play a part in the vision of Liberty University Athletics

As inany sport,tennis required hard work, stamina and the edge of competition What made tennisunique were the matches played by individualsseeking to add to the team percentage. The drive tosucceed came from each individual player for the overall team morale Self-sacrifice was sometimes necessary in the pursuit of the betterment of the team. While the men didn't accomplish every goal they setout toachieve, Coach Larry Hubbard said they brought much more tothe game than meets the eye "The guys played gallantly, with lotsof heart and lotsof intensity. They all had great attitudes and that stemmed from the strong leadership on the team thisyear." With seniors like Ernesto Malagrino andJoel Moylan, the players got a healthy dose of leadership and teamwork. The reason these players chose Liberty to be their home showed much for the growing program. "Ihad always wanted to play tennis for a university in America," Australian nativeJoel Moylan said "Tennis at Liberty was inviting because it is a Christ-centered Christian University Playing for Liberty has made me a stronger tennis player,both mentally and
physically Ithas taught me to be bold in my faith when representing Liberty and God." Outside the victories or defeats felton the courts,the team's greatest victory came inthe form of a miracle off the court During the team's Spring Break tournament, junior Kenan Bell experienced an injury "[He]had to be rushed into emergency surgery for a large blood cloton histossing arm," explained Coach Hubbard. "We didn'tknow until after the procedure thatthere had been only a 50/50 chance of hissurvival through the surgery. Ithelped all the guys reassess how important a personal relationship with Christ is and how short lifecan be." Challenges were presented for many of Liberty's sports teams, but it was the unity and perspective of the men's tennis team that stood out in the minds of many. The team's dedication was tried and their faith was tested,proving thatthey were committed to beating the odds "Kenan's situation has been our greatest victory all season," concluded Coach Hubbard. "The factthat heis doing well and that the rest of the team has come face to face with lifehas been a true victory over anything experienced on thecourt."

The team gave a bittersweet farewellto two of their most talented players, Paul Carey and James Yoo, who graduated Carey, from Dublin, Ireland, and Yoo, from Alberta,Canada, came to America four years ago to play golffor Liberty. Carey's transition to Liberty was easy. He said,"Iwas never homesick because everyone here was so friendly and cool."

Liberty University's Track and Field Team had a successful season. Many of the student athletes improved their personal bests. Even though track andfieldwas not a team-oriented sport,there was still a sense of team unity. Unity was sometimes a struggle in the past,as the only competitive sport where teammates competed against one another. This season brought positive changes with the strong emphasis on spiritualunity among the team members. The team not only spent time together running and training everyday, they also joined together for men's and women's Bible studies and spent time together outside of regular practices The team not only pushed themselves spiritually but also physically. The Men's and Women's Track Teams dominated atthe 2004 Liberty Invitational. The women obtained 10first-placevictories, while the men took hold of sixfirst-placefinishes.The successes of the season were marked on and off the track as they proved they were capable of personal and team victories The teamfinishedstrong,claiming physical and spiritualvictories,as they ran above therest

The bags are packed and students load the van. It'stimefor another weekend trip. Whether it is a ministry team getting ready to travel to a church or the debate team heading offto defend their NationalTitle, any given weekend brings a variety of opportunities for students to use their various talentsand gifts. The wide range of clubs and organizations are as broad as the diverse abilitiesand interests of the student body.
• Outside of the residence hallsand classrooms and a part from socialgatherings and hangouts, students are able to join together with one purpose -to puttheir talentsin use to further the Gospel,glorify God and demonstrate unique God-given abilities. From honor societies and academic organizations to club sports and musical groups, there is something for every pursuit. Individually,God has given each person a different purpose in life, but together, joined through common interests and abilities, one purpose is achieved to give back to God what He hasgiven.
In unison,hands clapped and feet stomped as praises were uplifted to the King. The rhythmic synchronization of hands and feet was known as "Step"and "Step"was how the women of Alpha and Omega chose to minister. The group was established in 1998 by Shemica Sea and several other Liberty students Seven years later,there were over 60 alumni across the United States who had ministered through thisspecial form of worship. The only requirement to be a member of Alpha and Omega was a heartto worship God and a little bitof rhythm While some members had been stepping foryears, not all started offknowing how. Young women who wanted to serve God wholeheartedly and had the willingness and determination to learn step for the Kingdom were all welcomed Nicole Wiggins said, "I have been stepping for four years and Ilove it. (Alpha and Omega) gave me an opportunity to do it as a ministry." The
group practiced hard and practiced often The nature of step meant that everyone had to be in unison. That meant 34 hands and 34 feet moved together. They often practicedin David's Place and almost always drew a crowd. The group was never lacking for places to minister. While everyone was affected by their ministry,youth responded the best "The Youth Center in downtown Lynchburg was always calling for us to come and perform," Wiggins said. Their form of ministry was being mirrored in schools and neighborhoods across the city Their ministry wasn'tjustfor fun;they praised a living God. Their number one goal was to give gloryto God and, inturn,win souls forChrist. Throughout the year thisgroup ofladies formed a true sisterhood and shared tight accountability with one another Their ministry not only brought about unisonin their performances but they also saw it in their relationships with one another

Most students have heard of the "King's Players" but not many people know what they're all about What is surprising to find out is that the team actually started before Liberty University ever began. Dr. and Mrs. Lloyd formed the group in 1960 atCascade College and brought the group to what was Liberty BaptistCollege They started as faculty members in 1975 and quickly introduced the ministry of King's Players to Liberty The evangelistic drama team became a permanent fixture of Liberty University's extra-curricular offerings From its humble beginnings, the group always setout to communicate the Gospel through the medium of drama. Liberty had two separate teams who performed plays and skitsforteenagers, children and adults in churches,schools and other venues all over the country.
The campus team was made up ofstudents willing to volunteer their time and their talents and travel two weekends a month The national team took that commitment one step further with a group of students who took off a year from school totravel the country for nine months infull-time ministry. Three year King's Players veteran and team leader,Libbi Lumpkin said,"It's amazing to see how God can use any talent, no matter what itis, to further His kingdom." Lumpkin admitted that being a part of the team required some sacrifice and discipline but that the reward of seeing hundreds of people saved throughout her time spent on the team was worth the time and effortrequired. "It's a different kind of ministry,"said Lumpkin, "It's exciting for us to do and exciting for others to see."

Liberty's chapter of the International Honor Society in History, Phi Alpha Theta, was dedicated to advancing theprofessional, spiritualand socialdevelopment of its 37 student members. Their theme, "Higher Still," was an idea the members carried out by raising the level of involvement. Phi Alpha Theta sponsored a tripto Richmond where five studentsjoined Dr Tim Saxon and his wife,Gayle,for a surprising day Plansto visitthe Virginia Historical Society were thwarted because of the power outages due to Hurricane Isabel Instead the group found themselves atthe Museum of the Confederacy and the Confederate White House. The exhibit on the daily lifeof Confederate soldiers brought reality to the lessons they had learned in the classroom. The group also went to the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia,and toured Virginia'sCivil War Battlefields These activitiesfurthered the professional society'smission to promote the study of History through the
encouragement of research,good teaching, publication and the exchange of learning and ideas among Historians Guest lectures served to bring together faculty and students Dr. Saxon challenged the audience tothink about the unthinkable ina stimulating talk on the politicalconsequences of an attack with weapons of mass destruction,while Dr. Schultz enlightened them about faith and learning atthe Spring Initiation Beth Ridenoure, treasurer of the Honor Society, distinguished herself with a paper and presentation on PaulJohnson that won her an award ata regional history paper competition.

The Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) was founded in 1968. The society has nearly 240 chapters nationwide and has provided various tools that have helped students prepare for the workforce. The school year brought a newly formed PRSSA chapter to the campus The Liberty Chapter was fully committed to serving students of Liberty University Don Egle, President ofthe Liberty Chapter,stated,"We want to help the students transition from being a student to becoming a professional W e want to provide a realworld experience,outside the classroom where you can learn firsthand the essentials of the business." The PRSSA provided the student body with promising opportunities for internships, scholarships, awards and promising resume builders PRSSA members had access to a range of benefits,including networking with professionals in their field and making connections to help obtain career positions Members had the benefit of working hands on with student organizations throughout the campus,helping them communicate their vision. The PRSSA experienced success in their first year,filling up the David's Place conference room with students eager to put what they've learned intopractice
Mix the sounds and the music of urban culture with a trampoline,a basketball and young men following the callGod has put on their lives, and you have SOAR Created in 2000, SOA R sought to reach kids where they were. The group went to schools,youth rallies, sports camps and even in their neighborhoods performing to crowds up to 12,000. The eight men thatmade up SOA R even spenttheir Spring Break in New York City doing shows for schools inthe city and in New Jersey Joel Griffiths,a freshman majoring inSports Management, said hisfavorite memory was made during thatweek. "One afternoon we had the opportunity to dunk in a crowded park inthe Bronx, and after our show we got the chance to speak to about 50 citykids about Christ,"he said The structure of theirministry allowed them to minister atthe half-time show atthe MCI center for theJordan Capital Classic Perry Tankard said,"The place was packed out and mainstream artists, Ludicrise and LilBow Wo w performed. Although we did not get to present the gospel,our message
was still clearly presented through the music. I am glad God gave us the opportunity to represent him in such a place." The abilityto reach kids through their athletic talents was only part of the benefit. The members became a band of brothers who served toedify and support one another Stephen Hamilton, who received the name "Babyface"from the guys, said the best thing about SOAR was "growing up physically,mentally,and spiritually with the guys on the team." BiblicalStudies major, Mike Bramlett,agreed "Iam a person with a lotof acquaintances but with very few close friends. The guys on the team are very close to my heart,"he said. "Getting to know them has been a great blessing and encouragement in my life." Perhaps the greatest testament to the impact they had on each other was expressed by Bramlett; "My faithhas grown by leaps and boundsjustbeing around the other guys on the team." SOAR proved to be more thanjusta ministry team, but a group of brothers united in Christ, committed to sharing the Gospel.

Complacency was an unfamiliar word to the members of the Liberty Debate Team. Their continuing domination of the circuitwas a resultof them never accepting their first place wins as an excuse to stop working John Ross, a former Liberty debater who became an assistantcoach, said,"Most people don't know how many hours go into preparation for a debate Debaters have to sacrifice a lotof weekends and make a strong commitment." That commitment paid off. Even with a rich history of wins,theystill managed to break records. Dr. Brett O'Donnell, head coach,detailed the extent of their wins. "We had both the novice and JV top speakers atthe novice and JV national championships. Our squad won both ofthe service academy tournaments,was second atthree others and qualified both of its teams to the National Debate Tournament Varsity Championship." A broader audience became aware of theirpresence as the team was recognized in a front-page article inthe Washington Post. Through the words of Liberty Debaters and other members of the debate community, the Post article showed the dual goal of the team: to be competitive in the circuitwhile being an effective living witness for Christ. The extent of their impact went beyond the Liberty community into the Lynchburg community "From working inlocal "soup" kitchens to providing Christmas presents and food for an area needy family and visitinglocal nursing homes and the Central Virginia Training Center, our students have been able to use theskills they are receiving in debate to serve others,"said Dr. O'Donnell. "Our team's localservice is important training to get them in the habit of incorporating service into their professional livesonce they leave." With a solid program and a team of committed, caring people,the Liberty debate team continued to make a difference in and outside ofrounds.

"Blessed are they wh o are flexible, for they shall not get bent out of shape," a philosophy Mr . J. Ernie Rogers, Chairman of the Aviation department, tries to live by. It is apparent whe n talking to Mr . Rogers, a kind and relaxed pilot wh o loves to share wisdo m and stories of flying. Originally fro m Gallup, Ne w Mexico, his love for aviation flourished as he spent countless hours in a hanger washing and fueling airplanes in order to pay for college Facing a possible draft into the Arm y during the Vietnam War , he seized the opportunity to becom e a pilot by joining the Nav y instead. After serving 2 7 years as a Nav y pilot, his love for aviation soared to a ne w level • Ernie Rogers cam e to Liberty after seeing his daughter, a student at the time, fall in love with the school Since coming to Liberty, his desire to pass o n his passion for aviation has become a reality. Whe n asked what he loved about his job he replied, "The students. They're optimistic and energetic." * Mr . Rogers is excited about the plans to upgrade the program fro m a minor in Aviation to a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics Th e goal would be to offer three concentrations, including Missions Aviation, Commercial Aviation and Military Aviation. H e believes that all three have a place in service to God , others and country H e wants to help students love whatever Field of study they choose and
teach them to put that love into service, which seems to be the attitude of a great professor and someone wh o lives by his ow n advice

Wha t d o seniors Bonnie Waddell and Mary Yukaniak have in common ? Besides being college rommates, both girls were nursing students A day did not go by whe n Waddell and Yukaniak weren't thinking about scrubs, clinicals and exams Waddell, a native of Waldorf, Maryland, First became interested in Liberty whe n she attended G O TEL L Camp . It was at that cam p whe n she cam e to kno w the Lord It wasn't until she came to Liberty that she became interested in nursing and decided to enter one of the best nursing programs in the country Yukaniak, wh o is originally from Fairfax, Virginia, kne w from a young age that she wanted to be a nurse. There was not a doubt in her min d about entering Liberty's nursing program. * A s senior nursing students, Waddell and Yukaniak worked at the hospital a couple days each week, put in 9 0 hours of preceptorship, paired u p with a registered nurse and still attended classes • Whe n Yukaniak was asked what advice she would give to incoming freshmen she answered, "There will be days whe n all you want to d o is give up; it's during those times that you need to rely on Go d more." • Both wome n plan to use their nursing degrees on the mission Field, wherever the Lord leads them. The y describe working as a nurse as an act of servanthood Waddell used the analogy' of Jesus washing the feet of the disciples "As a nurse w e Find ourselves bathing people, washing their feet and serving them, muc h like Christ did."

O n the exterior, he ma y look like the average college professor, but behind the glasses and the serious look on his face, Dr. David Towles has a caring, servant heart. With a passion for missions and speaking fluent Spanish, Dr. Towles has led countless groups on mission trips to Guatemala. Speaking in churches and sharing the Gospel, the groups h e has led were mad e u p of students, faculty and others with a heart to serve. • Dr. Towles cam e to Liberty in 1976 . With three sons, seven grandchildren and numerou s students to advise, h e has mastered the art of balancing his role as professor, husband, father and grandfather Married to Professor Carolyn Towles for thirty-three years, h e fondly refers to her as "the most loving wife" • Dr Towles recalls the proudest moment s of his life being after the birth of each of his three sons and seven grandchildren and raising $1 5,000 to fund the building of a church in Guatemala. "Obedience and sacrifice are the keys to love and missions," h e said with Firm belief. * Dr. Towles offered som e sound words of advice to his students, especially graduating seniors: "Expect nothing at the beginning, not even spiritual security; expect to fall and don't be afraid of falling." His advice is as sound as the example h e sets, representing Christ in the man y roles h e serves in, with a giving heart

While in college, you're told to seize every opportunity that you can Senior Donald Egle has don e just that Egle grew u p in Gran d Rapids, M I and graduated in Ma y with a degree in Public Relations and a minor in Business Like man y students, Egle didn't start off with that major. H e began as a business major because "it mad e sense, but it wasn't something I was passionate about." H e took a few years off and returned to Liberty as a Public Relations major H e soon cam e across the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) After researching the PRSA , he found h e First had to be a student membe r but Liberty did not have a student chapter. Egle seized the opportunity to help students in the public relations, marketing and advertising Fields. Egle found a faculty advisor, professional advisor and a group of students interested in the organization Th e L U chapter of the PRS A was established in the fall of 2003 . Egle was also involved with the Liberty Godparent Home , assisting in event planning and coordinating and doing public relations work for the home • After graduation, Egle isn't sure where he'll be but said he will "stay open and flexible to where Go d wants me." H e would like to start working in public relations for a corporate Firm and then later work in crisis communications Tw o things Egle wanted underclassmen to remember: "First, follow the Lord with all your heart and kno w that what you d o is because of Him . Second, remembe r that Go d gave you skills, abilities, and a passion in your life for a reason Find out what they are and give it everything you've got." Wisdo m from someone wh o did just that.

Yo u ma y have heard it said that good things com e in small packages. After you meet Stefani Bryant, you just might agree Hailing from Ceres, California, the petite Business major said she never thought twice about making the cross country trip to attend Liberty "Since m y sophomore year of high school I kne w that this was where I wanted to go to school." She spent her four years at Liberty earning a Business degree because of her love of working with number s and people "There are a lot of opportunities in business to work with both," she said. With a love for music and a passion for ministry, Bryant said her most memorable experience while at Liberty was being able to travel and sing with the group Chosen. "Not only was I able to d o ministry with the team, but that's also where I met m y husband-to-be," she said. + She admitted that one of the biggest lessons she learned during college was that God's worthiness does not depend on our circumstances Offering advice to other students she said, "Take advantage of all the spiritual opportunities. This is a practice round. Liberty is preparing you for the real world." She added that Business majors should not be intimidated by what they hear about the policy class "Instead," she said, "work your hardest and don't settle for anything but the best that you can do." After graduating in May , Stefani Bryant became Mrs Phillip McFarland in Jun e 2004 With her degree in hand and a ne w husband on her arm, her long term plans include becoming a successful business woma n and mother.

Teaching a class in philosophy, Dr. Gary Haberma s leads students to a greater understanding of ancient text Habermas is know n amon g his students and colleagues as a distinguished professor of Apologetics and Philosophy.
Credentials can be a deFining factor for some, but in the case of one of Liberty's most talked about professors, credentials didn't rank top o n his list Ergun Mehme t Caner, a Turkey native and once Musli m believer was pouring out his beliefs and passion for Jesus to congregations across the world. Students rushed to his classes for a chance to hear the ne w joke of the day or the day's interesting topic of discussion Dr Caner took learning to a ne w level; a level that was intriguing students to have a passion for Theology, Churc h History and, most importantly, Jesus Christ. * Since being led to the Lord by a high school friend, Dr. Caner went on to fulfill man y accomplishments Acquiring several college degrees, pastoring churches, authoring 13 powerful books and being a major Christian spokesperson to the Muslim Community , were just a few of those such achievements. T o some, his list of accomplishments could deFine hi m as a 'success' but to Dr Caner, his role as husband, father, teacher and follower after Christ were at the top of his ow n list of personal successes. Since coming to Liberty, Dr. Caner quickly rose to being a dynamic convocation speaker, respected professor and a true example of Christ's redeeming love H e said his goal here was "to place a passion into students' hearts for the legacy of our forefathers".

Fro m the streets of Atlanta, Georgia to the hills of Lynchburg, Virginia, Robert Hillman Jr., a.k.a "Rob-E", says h e is determined to spread the message of Christ Hillman is a licensed and ordained minister, the founder of Steppers of Faith step ministry, a membe r of the Christian rap group "The Representatives," and Co-Captain of Disciples for Christ (DFC ) step team Hillman's mission is to share the good news and win souls for Christ Despite all of his ministry positions, Hillman is quick to point out that all the honor belongs to God Hillman says, "I kno w I can't d o all this by myself. I've tried it on m y ow n before and whe n I gave it to Go d H e turned it into something great." Hillman graduated in Ma y with a double major in pre-law and youth ministry After graduation, h e continues working as a dispatcher for the Liberty University Police Department and as a youth pastor in a local church Hillman said h e lives his life with his favorite verse in mind , Philippians 1:21, "For to me , to live is Christ and to die is gain H e also works and does ministry after the quote "Preach Christ, use words if you must."

From its inception in the fall of 1985, the School of Education has been committed to "strengthening the mind, body, and soul, educating the whole person as God created them." Students can earn a Bachelor of Science in Sports Management, Special Education, Elementary/Middle Education or Secondary Education. A Master's program is also offered. Over the last 19 years, there have been 1,247 graduates, adding 101 graduates to the number of the School of Education alumni.
There's a sign in her ofFice that read, "Thirty years from no w it won't matter what your hair looked like, what you wore or what pair of jeans you bought, but what will matter will be what you learned and ho w you used it." If you spent just a few minutes with Dr. Kathie Johnson, Dept. Chair of the School of Education, you would've quickly realized she lives by what she teaches. After completing her undergraduate studies at Liberty in 1976 , she went o n to receive her Masters and Doctorate from the University of Virginia after feeling Go d call her to higher education. "It was always a drea m of min e to com e back to Liberty and Go d fulFtlled that for m e in 1993," she said Dr Johnson felt Liberty gave her the opportunity to teach in a way she believes "I look at life through the cross I get the chance to influence not only the lives of m y students but also dozens of classrooms through the teachers w e send out," she added. Dr. Johnson wanted her students to see wh o she really is so they can learn ho w to be effective as a believer and an educator. With tears in her eyes she went on to say, "I get so muc h out of seeing the integrity of m y students and their desire to serve - it truly inspires m e to want to d o better." Dr Johnson said it is an honor for her to represent what Liberty stands for and feels that as the school continues to grow, it only opens u p a broader arena in which to share. Putting her faith and knowledge into action, Dr Johnson had the opportunity to speak at Oxford during the spring semester "I believe Go d is moving Go d is not being silent and as Liberty grows, our opportunity to impact others extends to a muc h greater scale," she said With a smile on her face and a sincerity of heart she shared that her vision is to see the students she teaches becoming great teachers having a large impact o n the world "My students are an extension of m y family I feel like they're m y ow n and I'm proud of what they teach m e and what I kno w they'll become," she Firmly stated. Th e sign in her ofFice seemed not only to be a representation of her outiook on life but also of her colorful life experiences She admittedtiiatGo d has directed every step of her path throughout the years. Comin g full circle, starting her education here and no w passing on her knowledge to her students, Dr Rathie Johnson was using what she's learned to bless others

A s a senior in the Education Department, Sarah Allen always kne w she wanted to be a teacher "M y mo m was a major influence early o n in m y life," Allen said "She used to teach nursery school and I would pretend that I was sick so I could go to school with her rather than going to m y ow n class." Allen's family encouraged her to go into teaching because of her energy and love for children. Shortly after enrolling as a student at Liberty University, Allen met her two biggest influences at the school, Mr and Mrs Delong "They were very encouraging to m e all through college," she remembered. "They were both amazing and I really looked u p to them. I have so muc h respect for them The y are both very wise people." • After graduating in May , Sarah move d back to her hom e in Pennsylvania where she plans to begin teaching third grade in a public school "The main thing I hope to d o is impact the children and teachers with m y testimony," she said. "The reason I want to work in a public school is because I want to be able to witness to m y co-workers, as well as the children I will be teaching On e of m y goals is to be able to start a Bible study with the other teachers I wor k with." Allen's strong convictions to share her faith with the lost also extends to the children in the classroom "More and mor e children are being raised in dysfunctional home s and I hope to be a positive role model for those children." Allen's best advice to underclassmen in the education program was simple but precise: "Just stick with it'"
• Above: Commencement speaker, Karl Rove, encourages graduates to have "the moral clarity and courage to do what's right, regardless of consequence, fashion or fad."
Rove served as President Bush's chief political adviser
• To p Left: Th e 2041 graduates listen to the encouraging words of their President, Dr John Borek Th e 31st commencement was the last for Borek. * To p Right: Students showed their creativity by decorating their caps, but one of the most important symbols, the tassel, was left untouched.
• Right: Dr. Falwell hands Kim Forch her diploma. Forch graduated Magna Cu m Laude with a degree in social sciences and was a member of Alpha Lamba Delta, Kappa Delta Phi and Phi Alpha Theta
The stage was setand the Vines Center was overflowing with excitement and people Family, friends and loved ones filledevery seat and formed a standing circle around the entire building as they gathered to honor the 2004 Graduates Each student waited inanticipation for their name to be called,for their turn to come, for the moment theirjourney would be recognized and congratulated. The seriousness and emotion of their accomplishments were downplayed with sillystring, bubbles and balloons. Kazoos hummed along with the Concert Band to "Pomp and Circumstance". Caps were decorated with everything from masking tape signs of gratitude to parents to apples on the caps of education majors. Students could be seen text messaging and conversing on cellphones as the thought of sitting still and waiting for their turn seemed overwhelming, along with the enthusiasm they justhad to share. The largest graduating class was commissioned by Karl Rove, Senior Advisor to President George W Bush His message was precise and clear;encouraging the newest Liberty University alumni to use their education to do what is right. "You either have high values ingrained inyour heart and soul thatwillnot change with the wind or you don't," Rove said Dr Falwell encouraged the 2041 graduates, who joined more than 71,000 alumi, to serve Christ in many different ways in all different parts of the world "Let the service of Christ be your main calling," he said Amidst the celebration, the laughter and the tears,it was a bittersweet ceremony. Tearful goodbyes were said asthe graduates stepped off the platform, ready to take the next step into the rest of their lives.

What has evolved is a student body representingall walks of life, various cultures and different backgrounds. Though the outward display of differences is extensive,the individuality of each person is even more representative of Liberty's diversity. Each one plays an intricate part in the vision] of our Chancellor. Each person offers distinctiveness A to the face of Liberty University Every one bringshis or her uniqueness to ultimately share a place in one body, made up by the Liberty family

Ah , the wonders of the Frosh year of college. Movies on the mansion lawn, cookouts at David's Place, orientation week, freshmen seminar workshops and let's not forget karaoke in the dining hall! Yes, the year was full of ne w and exciting experiences. Ho w did a freshman adjust, meet ne w people, get involved and maintain sanity?
• Meet Rachel Kolb, a survivor of the crash course of freshmen year. Hailing from Fleetwood, Pennsylvania, an apsiring English major with a Biblical Studies minor, Kolb kept her schedule full with honors classes, being in leadership on her hall and enjoying activities such as soccer, Field hockey, camping, and hanging out with her friends. All of this activity impacted Kolb in a positive way. "Coming from a public high school, I really appreciate the atmosphere at Liberty," she said. "I love the fact that man y of the professors genuinely care about their students and strive to apply Biblical principles to each class I also love the system of accountability that is set u p on this campus Knowin g that I a m being prayed for daily by a membe r of leadership o n m y hall is such an encouragement." • Kolb's ambitious future plans center around her heart for an in-depth ministy that would involve taking teams overseas "I would love to help establish a ministry in which w e take a group of people on annual overseas mission trips, allowing us to cultivate relationships with the people w e reach throughout die year so that w e ma y disciple them and encourage them to gro w in their walk with Christ." Needless to say, Kolb mad e the most of her freshmen year and said she wouldn't have had it any other way!

If an award was given to "the most bubbly", Michelle Manso n might have been the one to receive it. Manson , an Elementary Education major, was always seen laughing about something. Whe n asked about what had mad e her time at Liberty special she said, "There are a lot of things that com e to mind, but one of the greatest was with m y roommate freshman year. W e would go to sleep around the same time and in the dark w e would just talk. She had a way of helping m e out with m y thoughts. She was such a good roommate." • Prior to attending Liberty, Michelle went to a community college in Florida but she quickly realized she wanted to pursue her education in a Christian environment She quickly cam e to love the atmosphere, professors and classes at Liberty She said she planned to mak e her years here memorable. She looked at her Liberty education as an investment so she could leave here u-ained and ready to be a champion She also hoped to share a little bit of her bubbly spirit along the way

He r favorite quote was "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them" but all of her friends used the wor d "kind" to describe Juanita Hubbard A Spanish major proud of her hometow n of East Orange, Ne w Jersey, she was a senior wh o has learned that Go d provided "For one, I got to com e back to L U after taking a semester off I have a car and I live off campus and I don't have muc h mone y but Go d has provided." • Hubbard heard about Liberty through the mail. "I wanted to go out of state and Liberty was the only out-of-state-school I applied to Whe n I got accepted, I kne w it was meant to be Since I have been here, I have com e to appreciate the rules and ideals that Liberty University stands for." * Although she usually possessed a positive outlook, she admitted one of the most difFicult adjustments she had to face in college was the fact that nothing stayed open late at night. "I live close to Ne w York City, the city that never sleeps. In Lynchburg everything shut dow n around 9 p.m. M y only other complaint is that Lynchburg has som e bad drivers At home , w e kno w ho w to get where w e want to go." She also shared one of her most memorable experiences since being in Lynchburg as the time she climbed Peaks View Mountain and got stuck in die rain on her way back down . She said that was also one of her proudest memories because, "I mad e it to the top."
* Hubbar d shared her favorite verses, Roman s 8:38-39, and said, "I love living life and experiencing God's grace and his love. I never forget that n o matter what happens, Go d is in control. N o matter ho w muc h you think you are or ho w muc h you want to be, Go d always is." That's certainly a far cry from her favorite quote but words aptly s|X)ken from a kind heart

If you were ever in DeMos s Hall, you probably saw hi m around. H e always said "Hi" and he usually carried around a stick with a tennis ball on the end of it H e always had a smile on his face, even whe n he was using the tennis ball to remove scuff marks from the floor Th e ma n behind the face was James Davis; a 49-year old Building Services staff membe r at Liberty. Davis was born and raised in Lynchburg. H e attended Dunba r High School and used to be an avid basketball player Davis and his wife married 3 0 years ago and had one daughter His daughter relocated to German y to serve in the Air Force, so Davis always felt like the students at Liberty were a part of his extended family H e took pride in his work and said he enjoyed working at Liberty because of the students and the atmosphere. "It's a friendly place with friendly people," he said, even though he admitted that he has always been easy to get along with Students passed hi m in the hallway or saw hi m in the computer lab and it could not be mistaken; James Davis was not just another staff member . Thoug h his work sometimes went unnoticed, Davis never did Davis was an infamous face on campus making a difference with his smile and his handy stick.

Editor's notes: This position fell in m y lap after a tough decision to leave the Liberty Debate team Go d closed that door and opened another to an opportunity to be a part of developing a program Th e support from a team of people mad e m e believe this program would be just as great as the one I left Th e make-up of our staff was unconventional W e were really a team consisting of people wh o believed in what w e could be I wouldn't have had a job and there wouldn't have been a book if Carrie Barnhouse did not champion it. W e spent way too man y hours together and through it all she has become a great friend I look forward to the next couple of years and hope that while it gets easier, it gets better (Ed-thanks for letting m e borrow your wife!) Brian Hunter, from Taylor Publishing, was a true representative of what w e could be Th e advice, expertise and support was unquantifiable. Dinner and "Chicago" was a welcome retreat. Dr. Borek, Mar k Hine, Jacqueline Wilson and Sharon Hartless were our champions. I have been blessed to be able to work closely with the school's photographer, Les Schofer Les' amazing pictures mad e this book a possibility and his willingness to help revived m y often bewildered spirit. M y frequent visits with the Champio n staff were (usually) enjoyable.
Than k you Mrs. Huf f and Mrs. Fleming for being friends to our program and to the photography staff for always being our last minute saviors I hope w e can be as useful in the future to you as you have been to us Goo d luck, Ben, Kevin and Jason as you fulfill your next purpose. Machree, Mayra, Emily, Brenda and Becky: Than k you for sharing in the commitment, helping out whe n w e were in a pinch and getting m e m y diet coke! M y family and friends: guidance, diversion,flexibility,unconditional love and teaching m e that without Go d I a m nothing but with Hi m I a m promised everything I need.

He was one who worked for the student and not for hisown glory. Dr. Groat was the Coordinator of Faculty Advisors and an Associate Professor of Education. He touched many faculty and students over the 19 years that he worked at Liberty University. Through all ofthe years,he remained an encourager and a knowledgeable source of dependability for the people thatwere in contact with him. Dr. Groat worked hard to receive an academic advising award from the National Academic Advising Association He was chosen as one of six inthe nation for hisaccomplishments as an advisor and the creation of an advising training program. He planned to retire in 2003 when Liberty asked him to stay on another year. God's timing proved to be different than man's. Sunday, August 3, 2003, he was unexpectedly taken home He died of a very raredisease, named Transitional Cellular Cancer, and it took everyone by surprise He was always a very healthy man who spent his spare timefixingup old homes and attending athletic events. Dr. Pauline Donaldson, Dean of the College of General Studies,described Dr. Groat as having a quiet demeanor, intelligent mind, notcritical but encouraging and remembered that he would always be thinking things through objectively Jim Wagner was a close friend for many years and mentioned a fun side of Dr Groat that many did not see;being very competitive in sports and hating to lose He described Dr Groat as having an analytical and statistical mind "He knew how to advise and
how to teach others to advise. He was my mentor," said Wagner. He added that Dr. Groat was influential in hiscoming to Liberty and helping him work up to hiscurrent position. Dr. Groat advised over 1,000 students while he was at Liberty. This man truly touched many people's lives. Dr. Leonard Parker considered Dr Groat hismentor and counselor He fondly remembered Dr Groat's favorite word "persnickety",which meant, "requiring specific attention to trivial details." He was an influential man to both faculty and students. He gave hisallto do hisjob and took the time to care for his students,serving them with a paternal love He willalways be remembered for the time and love he contributed to Liberty University, giving him a special memory in the hearts of those who knew and loved Dr Wilbur Groat
Liberty University could not be what it is today without the leadership,vision and love of its founder and chancellor,Dr.Jerry Falwell. Dr. Falwell pledged his life to doing Christ's work when he was a teenager Since then,he founded Thomas Road Baptist Church, Lynchburg Christian Academy, Liberty University and the Liberty Godparent Home. All these entitieswere developed with the goal to minister and train Christians for the world. Dr. Falwell'svision to see the university enlargeits territory kept him busy with recruiting efforts and building plans,yet hestill managed to stay actively involved with the students and staffon campus The roar of students cheering atweekly convocations when Dr Falwell would step to the pulpit was hard to ignore. According to Dr. Falwell,"God blessed us with a tremendous student body that come from allfiftystatesand scores of foreign countries." A student body who also admired, respected and deeply cared for their leader and friend One of Dr Falwell's most important contributions to the student body was living an example of saltand lightin thisworld. Dr. Falwell demonstrated his faith by standingfirmlyon hisbeliefs and not backing down from issues that must be addressed from a Christian standpoint ina secular world. His priorities never wavered While striving to meet the needs of hiscongregation, he spent time training students of all ages,yet still made it clear that God remainedfirstin his life and his family,including hisbeloved grandchildren,ranked a close second With his own descendents making their mark upon the heritage he has established,the thousands of graduates from Liberty also contributed to the growing legacy. Graduates depart with the wise words and lifelessons their chancellor has imprinted in their minds and on their hearts to impact their world forChrist.
Dr John M Borek announced Dr Falwell has always been one Dr and Mrs Falwell together his resignation after serving as of the Flames' biggest fans with Dr and Mrs Borek President for seven years.
The year brought many changes and developments that,for the most part, positively impacted Liberty University. One announcement, however, changed the dynamic of the University. After serving as President of Liberty University for seven years, Dr John M Borek, Jr., announced hisresignation Dr Borek made hisannouncement with an emotional goodbye. "This isn't really farewell,"he said, "I'mjustgoing on anotherjourney." Dr. Borek's goal while at Liberty was to fulfill the vision of Dr Falwell;a goal to "provide a quality,Christian,liberal arts University for young people who desire to have a personal relationship with Christ and impact the world." Dr. Borek strongly supported that goal as he led the school to provide students with a world-class education in a strong Christian environment His leadership also furthered the University's strategic planning,fiscalmanagement and accreditation. With the changing face of Liberty University and the impact of the growth taking place on campus, Dr. Borek's tenure at Liberty paved the way for the positive changes already experienced and the extraordinary growth that is expected Dr Falwell said,"(Dr Borek)has made an outstanding contribution to the strength of thisinstitution and leaves a solid foundation for future growth."
During his time at Liberty, Dr. Borek said he was honored to have the opportunity to serve on a team with Dr. Falwell and his ministries. "The spiritualgrowth that I have experienced from thisopportunity has been lifechanging," said Borek. As new leadership transitioned into effect and continued changes and growth were experienced on campus, the Liberty family wished the best to a man who made a great impact on the University,but more importantly in the hearts of his students and faculty A family who Dr Borek said,"willalways be in my heart."
As another year came to a close in May of 2004, students left the campus of Liberty University with unforgettable memories. Graduates of the Class of 2004 would remember theirfinalyear as a year of development, the year of winning the Big South Tournament and the year that Dr Jerry Falwell,during Super Conference,traded in hisusualblack suitand red tiefor a Hawaiian shirt. The school year brought growth and changes, as well as tradition,to continue building upon the foundation of the vision setforth by Founder and Chancellor, Dr. Falwell. Some of the highlights of the year included traditional events like the falland spring communion services,Christmas convocation and schoolspirit demonstrated through sporting events and tournaments. New faculty and staffwere welcomed to the Liberty family, including acclaimed writer and speaker Dr. Ergun Caner and Liberty'sfirst-everstudent campus pastor, Johnnie Moore. Students who said goodbye to Liberty University as a part of their college career would always remember Dr Falwell's encouragement to create their own "BHAG" (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) Dr Falwell's "BHAG" proved to bring more changes and development to continue building thevision.

"There is one body and one Spirit -just as you were calledto one hope when you were called-one Lord, onefaith,one baptism; one God and Father ofall, who is over alland through alland in all."
Ephesians 4:4-6 NIV
Continued from pg 204
From the founding of the new Law School,the beginning of the Communications Master's program, additional residence hallsbeing built,a tunnel being constructed under Highway 460, classes being moved to the Main Campus Annex Building and old dorms being renovated, the changes had onlyjustbegun. Itis the responsibility of the upcoming class, and the classes to follow,to keep Liberty University grounded in the Christian faith that itwas founded on. One man's heart to serve the Lord and build a distinctively Christian University started itall more than three decades ago. Now, we are many. W e have all come to Liberty University to grab hold of the vision and, in turn,we've contributed to the evolving future thatis still unfolding. One vision has paved the way and one faith leads us into thefuture
