ENTHUSIASTIC STUDENTS supportJerry Falwell, Jr as hecrowd surfsduringahome basketballgame "[I likethat] he'salways involvedwiththe studentbody.He'll goand sit down with people," saidjunior CaseyCrooks.

"EVERYDAY AROUND 2 PM I HAVE AVENTI BLACK COFFEE FROM STARBUCKS MY NAME ISJERRY FALWELL.JR,AND I AM LIBERTY."

He borethesame name and likenessof his father, but it was no secret he was the new man on campus. Lessthan a week after thesudden passing ofFounder and Chancellor Dr. Jerry Falwell, hisson Jerry, Jr announced atgraduation,"All iswell at Liberty." A year later, thatstatement had proventrue.

"We have continued togrow and prosper The uncertainty isgone.A lot ofpeople were subconsciously worried about thefuture,butwhat's happened here has notbeen dependent upon one person,"said Jerry Falwell, Jr.

Atthehelm ofthe universityhis fatherbuilt, the new Chancellorwiththesame name was notto be confused with hispredecessor

"I'ma differentgeneration than dad and my approach isdifferent.I have a son here,my family isyounger and I'm closertothestudents'age That helpsme be more familiar withtheirculture I understand these kids,"hesaid.

He was alsothefirst alumnus tobe president "Ilivedin thedorms, I walked these halls I feela kinshipwiththestudentbody."

Thiswas evident by the invitationhe extended to the "LUnatic" fanstowatch theSuper Bowl at his house,and the infamous scene ofhim crowd surfing during a basketball game

The studentsshared thesentiment,cheeringfor theirnew leadereach time he stepped tothe podium "What I appreciate about Jerry Falwell, Jr isthe factthathe attendsthe majority ofLiberty's events. Whether it's sportsordrama, he isthereshowing his care and support for the students,theteams, and thecampus,"commented Branden Bosch.

A New Generation ofLeadershipfor theUniversity

Hiswife,Becki,had an officenexttohisand therewas no mistaking herroleas hissupport and helpmate.

"Becki has a hand on the pulseof thestudents. She keeps a closeeye on them,what they'redoing, watching theirblogs.She listens totheirconcerns and she enjoysbeing involved,"Falwell said

Hisworld had changed drasticallyin a year He went from being a lawyerand businessman outof the publiceye, tothemost publicperson in a world of thousands ofexpectant students,facultyandstaff

"I'vehad toadapt.I grew up around dad always being so publicbut I triedhard tostayout of the limelight. The verything I shied away from hasturned outtobe something I reallyenjoy,"hesaid

He was thetype ofguy who loved toride fourwheelers and run bulldozersinthewoods on his farm.Now his timewas centered on runningthe University.

"Itaketheweekends toshut-down,turnoff the computer and spend timewiththe kids,"hesaid.

Hisvisionwas tocontinuewhat his fatherhad started, butata differentpace

"We need tohave planned,deliberategrowth Now more than ever, thereisa need for this school. We go againstwhat young peoplearebeing exposed toby today'sculture.Heretheycan findtruth and learntolive it,"he added

It was a new eraand thefutureseemed clear.

"We'reheretostay. There'spermanence.We have an identityand God did it all It'sjusthumbling to be a partofit,"Falwellsaid.

STORY BYCARRIEBARNHOUSE

A PassiontoContinue the Vision atThomas Road Baptist Church

The Sunday after hisfather had unexpectedly passed, Jonathan Falwell took the pulpit and told the grieving congregation, "Today weareallJoshua. This message found inJoshua 1 isnot aimed at me, it isnotaimed atmybrother,mysisterormom. This isa message that isaimed squarely atevery single person inthisroom. Every single person who is part ofthisgreat church,every singleperson whois apart of this great university,every single person whohas ever come through thisministry and hasgone out as a young champion for Christ."

It wasa challenge presented tothe church he assumed upon his father's untimely death. A year later, thatchallenge wasbeingfulfilled

"I believe people had two choices - to sit back and coast and reflect on thepast ortojoin together and look tothefuture,andthat'sexactlywhat they've done," hesaid.

Thomas Road Baptist Church wasreaching out to the community, evidenced by the4,100local guests thathadvisited in just 10months

"Dad was such an over-arching figure,I think they got comfortable lettinghimdo it But through this, we had to pull together. They realized they couldn'tjust leave it uptothe pastor,"hesaid

Despite hisclaim to be"just now figuring it out," 1800 people had joined and900 were baptized in the first year ofFalwell'spastorate.

"God hasshown Himself tobe so faithful through thistransition.When agreat leader likedad dies, but the ministry continues tothrive, it'sa testamentof God's hand," he added

He wasalso quick tosharethe creditwith thestaff thatsurroundedhim.

"We have ateam ofpeople — thebest ofthe best tomake theministries thebest they can be. Dad was known forsaying, 'It's amazing what you can get done when you don't care who gets the credit.' He didn't care — hewasjustdoing theministry God called him to."

Friends ofDr. Falwell were working alongsidethe continuation ofthevision. "Peoplelike Doug Randlett stepped intohelp learn all theaspects ofthe church ministry. Daniel Henderson was thelast person dad hired todevelop aculture ofprayer,and Dr. Godwin who wasafriend andadvisertodad,"hesaid.

That same attitude was evidenced inDr.Falwell's third born, only thesecond pastor ofthechurch he had begun.

"I witnessed first-hand what dadputintothisplace and Ihave a profound desire to protect hiswork. I am passionate about seeing thevision continue," he said.

His vision wasan outgrowth ofhisfather's but hisapproach was different.With visual elements like a giant iPod and Lamborghini Diablo to illustrate his sermons,changes were obvious

"I have a passion toreach this generation with the message that church, more importantly God, is relevant.I won't just accept that young people won't be activeandinvolved inchurch,"hesaid

He wasso passionate about this message, he worked with 13otherpeopletohelpcompile and write a book tobepublished in August 2008 aboutit.

He stood in the pulpitevery Sunday withthe words "Not I, but Christ"onthewallbehindhim.

"It's aperfectfour-word pictureofmy life sinceMay 15. It's been completely out ofmy comfort zone,and I can do nothing but trustinGod andletHimtake care ofthe rest,"hesaid

Dr RonGodwin hadbeen a close friend and trusted colleague tothe lateDr.Jerry Falwell.AfterFalwell'spassing, Godwin remained inhis role as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer ofthe University, supporting the newleadership Godwin received degrees from Bob Jones University, Old Dominion University and a PhD from FloridaState University. Godwin andhiswifeCarolwere both members ofThomas Road BaptistChurch andserved on the board fortheLiberty Godparent Home Godwin had arich history ofservice and business before becoming part of the University in1993.Heserved astheExecutiveVicePresident

of the Washington Times, Executive Vice President of the Moral Majority,President ofJerry Falwell Ministries andhad leadershippositionsin severalotherministries. Hehad worked directlywiththeChancellor'soffice for more than 15 years.

Godwin remained avitalpartofthedaytodayoperations of the University Hewas very popular among thestudent body with hiswitty sense ofhumor andfor quotes like: "Motchakatato...a white chocolate, double espresso, extra whip,fatfreematachakato,"and"When aperson surrenders his wholelifeto Christ, heonlyjust stopsrobbingwhatalready belonged toGod."

"If I had known that we had a free personal training program, I would've had a sixpack by now," freshman Isaiah Owens said "I would much rather go to the gym and get one-on-one help than going and not really getting anything done."

FitnessdirectorAndrea Sherwood said that was the whole idea behind the program "The program is designed for the specific needs ofthe individual

BROWN It's not just about losing weight, but gaining muscle and balance that will help in everyday activitiessuch aswalkingdown a hill," shesaid.

Once accepted for thetraining, the students worked with a trainer,most likelya Kinesiology major, for six weeks. They were allotted six sessions, each about an hour long The first session was tojudge the athletic abilityofthe students Thisincluded measuring body fatand circumference measurements. Students were givenflexibilityandstrengthtestsinordertowatch their progressthroughouttheweeks. Duringthe sessions, they received not only quality training butalsotheknowledgetocontinueintheirefforts fora healthierbody aftertheprogram ended, Ben Cook, associate fitness director,said, "Personaltraininghasso many benefits, whether you'reanew exerciseroranexperiencedathlete Itgives you the opportunity to target specific goals A lotofpeoplecome tothegym oftenbut are ata plateau They need someone with the knowledge ofthescienceofexercisetohelpget them where they need to be." Physical fitness was not the only reason why the program was started Cook said, "We want to see people reach their goals while encouraging them to helpglorifyGod and furtherthekingdom through exercise."

Three years ago,flip-flops were illegal That was no longer the case. Thanks in part to the Student Government Association (SGA), students wore flipflops,jeans and sweaters without collared shirts to class with no penalty of reprimands. Often working behind the scenes, the SGA operated as a liaison between thestudent body and theadministration.

VicePresidentforStudent Services,MelindaTrotter saw theimpact. "I thinktheSGA has definitelyhelped the administration understand where the students stand on important issues,"she explained

In the past, these issues included traffic ticket appeals, dresscode changes and approving the many clubsand organizationsoffered on campus. The SGA was also responsibleforcreating a student reprimand court "Now, if you get reprimands you can appeal to students - the student government's court justices - and they'll hear your case," shared former student body President Brian Colas Colas stepped down from his position as president to recieve a legislative job inD.C.

Senior Tim Easely, who was the vice-president, took overtheresponsibiltitesofpresident Easley kept withSGA's goal and was passionate about findingout what thestudents wanted.

As projectswere accomplished, thevisibilityofthe SGA grew. "When I was a freshman, Ididn't really know we had a student government...But, if you did research intowhat theSGA has done in the past,you can seethere'sdefiniteevidence ofwhat theSGA has accomplished," Colassaid

STORY BY LEAHWILLIA,

Herreal name was JulieVaders.To most students around campus she was known as "Skater Girl"or "Cape Girl."She was a regularstudent just likeher peers,the only thing that made her seem different was herloveforcapesand forksand thecomfortshe found in Heelys.Vaders was a senior Psychology major, who wanted to work with children with Asperger syndrome. Asperger syndrome (AS) was an autism spectrum disorder PeoplewithAS,"learn social skills connotatively...usually they are smart within a specific interest. But they pick up things slower than most people. I want to use theater to ministertothem,"Vaderssaid. She gained interest in working with AS children at her home church in Philadelphia. "People in my youth group back home eitherhad family members with AS or had some type of autistic disorder So then Istarted researching it and thought of the drama ministry I coulddo."

Vaders' fascination with capes began after watching the movie Sleepy Hollow,inwhich a main character in the movie wore one "[After watching that movie], I saw this beautiful cape at Hot Topic

and Ibought it.I've been wearing itever since. I justgot a new one from Wal-Mart,"she said with a smile.

The story behind the Heelys, or "shoes on wheels" was much simpler."There was a guy here that used to wear them. He worked for a Heelys company, I triedthem on and picked up how touse them quicker than he did,apparently So he hired me...I decided not to work with him but I got free shoes out of it.

It was theoldestministryon campus It required themembers oftheteam todedicatetwo weekends out ofevery month totravel todistant locations. While the mission statement proved a commitment to present the gospel and "leave the decisions to God," ratherthan emphasizing "how many numbers of decisions could be recorded." The team still presented large numbers when recording those decisions, with an average of200 people coming to know Christ peryear. These were The King'sPlayers

The King'sPlayers performed invenues as small as high schools, and as large as military bases. Along theway, they had seen theinsidesof prisons, visited other countries and logged countless miles on the road traveling to the next location. The schedule may have been grueling, butthe members remained committed totheirwork. "I wanted to do King's Players because it allows me to glorify God through thepower ofdrama," shared sophomore Alyson Thompson, who was inher second yearon the team. "Ihave always loved acting andKing's Players allows me to usethat passion tospread God's word toothers,"she explained.

"The primary commitment to being on King's Players isone's commitment to passionately seek the face of Godat alltimes.We desperately need Him ifwe are to have any impact on those with whom we come incontact with. That's why it is imperativethatthose ontheteam be committedto serious worship through prayer,Bible study,song, etc atall times,"saidjuniorKent Maitland who had been on theteam for three years.

With three teams inrotation, at least some of the King's Playerswere performing every weekend Sincetheschedulewasshared,theministrywasable to cover afour-hundred mile radius Thatdiversity made theKing'sPlayersunique.

StudentGroup JoinsMovement toFightAbortion

The right for unborn children to live.This was the motivation behind Nameless, a pro-life group started in the fall.It was named in memory of the millionsofunborn children aborted inAmerica who never had names on theirbirthcertificates

The group was started when Liz Zelinski from Pro-Life of America made a visit to campus. Zellinski talked with freshman Josiah Henderson, president of Nameless, about how she wanted to startdifferentgroups on campus.

With the help of five other people, Henderson and Vice President Bryan Williams,began a group that sought to defend the defenseless "The group was started by all of the leaders as a big massive team," recalled Henderson "[We] hope to accomplish shutting down Planned Parenthood, actually ultimately ending abortion |nd supporting

local pregnancy centers and the Liberty Godparent Home," said Henderson "We would just like God to use us in helping women struggling with this incredible decision and defending the ones that cannot defend themselves."

Nameless was more than a group ofwords,they were a group ofaction.Shortly afterthe group was 1 formed they had a prayer vigil on campus.They also participated in the March for Life,which took place on January 22,2008.This was the date ofthe U.S Supreme Court's decision on Roe v Wade Nameless attended the peaceful rallyto continually take action; the rallywas held inWashington D.C

BJ Williamsjoined the group because he wanted to be around people who had similar views. "Ilike • the fact that there are people who share the same beliefs about lifethat Ido," Williams said. "As a young man who has really seen the beauty ofne,w life [in my little sister] I'veseen thesanctityoflife and Ireally appreciate that there are groups that share thesame feelingsas I do." 4 A

Promoting Multiculturalism on Campus

Their mission was to bring culturestogether and toenrich theircollegeexperience by understanding multiple cultures They were the people who comprised the Center for Multicultural Enrichment Office, better known as the Center4ME The Center4ME underwent a major renovation in 2004, withthe C Daniel Kim InternationalOfficecreation

While the Center4ME had been operating for over 15 years, it had trouble getting out of the stereotype that it was an office designed only for minority students.Administrative Assistant Dammy Onafowokan said,"We have this reputation as the 'black office'but that really isn'ttrue.People don't realize that one year we made a fake beach for a Hawaiian Luau and we celebrate each heritage month as well."

The Center4ME was made up ofseveraldifferent programs with the purpose of celebrating diversity and multiculturalism The Cultural Awareness program celebrated allthe heritage months across campus, notjustBlack History Month but Hispanic Heritage Month in September, Native American Heritage Month in November, Irish-American Heritage Month in March, and Asian-Pacific IslanderMonth inApril. Foreach ofthese, theoffice

organized a concert as well as a movie night and sometimes other activities that were open to the entirecampus Students appreciated the opportunity to experience diverse cultures. "I enjoy attending events put on by the Center4ME Itgives me the opportunity to learn about many cultures thatI normallywouldnothavebeenexposedto,"saidjunior NateshaBull. Bull'sfavoriteeventthatthe Center4ME put on was the "AllI want forChristmas Banquet." "Ithink thatthiswas my favorite banquet because it was forsome ofthe lessfortunate children inthe community," shesaid.

The Center4ME celebrated academic success among students through the A.S.S.I.S.T. program which gave underclassmen a chance to be tutored and mentored by upperclassmen. The upperclassmen were also given the chance to partner with a staff member to be mentored while mentoring youngerstudents

The office's main goal was stated clearly in their purpose statement as providing "information and advocacy for students from various ethnic backgrounds through programs and services that promote unityand celebrateculturaldiversity." That purpose extended throughout campus and intothe community.

More than an experienced photographer, Schofer was a man with experience in life. Having lost 25 pounds from chemotherapy and radiation sessions inhisfightagainst cancer in2005, the photographer showed the wisdom behind hisgray hairthrough his outlook on thesituation

"When I was diagnosed with cancer, the amount ofcaring and concern thatwas expressed by church members and just everybody that I knew and a lot of people I didn't know, was overwhelming I'd say it was worth getting the cancer forit," he said. Afterhis recovery,Schofer looked atlife beyond thelensesofa camera butthrough theeyes ofsuffering and glory

"I'llnever forget one morning, about two o'clock. It was the firsttime I was inthe hospital because of the chemotherapy, and I put on a song, 'BeThou My Vision.'

What To DoWhen There IsNothing To Do

:-'Improvements. Implemented toEase ParkingHeadaches

Parking. The cost was felt campus-wide, as all students had to pay to register their vehicles on campus "After spending $300 [for vehicle registration], it'd be nice to find a place to park without finding a ticket [from LUPD] when I come back,"said senior Mike Ballard.

Last year a campus-wide bus system was implemented to adjust forthe growth ofthe student body. "The buses help students without cars get around campus easier," said junior Jim Thorn However, some students felt the bus system was in need of an overhaul "The buses are [always] packed. There's always a long lineto get on one," said sophomore Matt King.

Additional changes were made to adjust the cars more evenly. The Police Department divided commuters into two classifications: Campus North

or Main Campus, only allowing the cars to park at one location while on campus. Graduate Student parking was also removed, opening white spacesto Main Campus commuters.

Many students had their own opinions on what the solution to the parking problem should be "We [could have] juniorand senior parking privilegesand let [upperclassmen] park at Campus North. Make freshmen and sophomores park only in the pit," juniorAmanda Jones suggested, referring to thelot behind Residence Hall 33

Suggestions were welcomed at a new e-mail address created for commuters to voice their opinions about transportation issues. In the mean time, students like Jones adapted to the parking flow "I'veadjusted pretty because I know when and where it's easiesttofind aspot."

What was betterthan acruisetothe Bahamas? Praise Fest ministry, along with several professors, includingDr. Ergun Caner, invited 300 students to attend aChristian cruiselast summer on aRoyalCaribbean cruiseship.The cruise lasted forone week, leaving from PortCanaveral, FL Students were able to enjoy music from the groups Audio Adrenaline,Kutlass,KJ-52 and T-Bone,along with speaking by Dr.Caner and Christianpro-wrestlers.

Even though the trip offered entertainment and great food it alsooffered ministryopportunitiesforthestudents aswell There were dailytrainingseminars thatprepared thestudentsforevangelism forthedaythatthevolunteers spent on the shore of Nassau.

Required.Forall students.Foreverymajor. But why? Evangelism 101, [EVAN 101], had been a required classsincethe beginning ofthe university. Sophomore JaimeToralessaid,"When I first heard about havingto takean evangelism class, I honestlydislikedtheidea It was meaningless atthe beginning,but now thatI have alreadygone through it, I can onlybe thankfulforwhat I'velearned."

In additiontotheclassroom work,each student was required to complete a witnessing project "I definitely was nervous aboutthewitnessing assignment.At first Ihad a bad attitude,but I realized then that I did not have the confidence that I wanted to in sharing the Gospel," said senior Christina Cooper Despite her fear, Cooper sharedthegospelwithaJewish man who worked ata nail-carestand atthe localmall."It was a great challengeto get outthere and share with others thesalvationwe are blessedwith."

To Campus Pastor Johnnie Moore,the importance of EVAN 101 was inthe factthat it equiped students to do what they already knew they were called to do -share the Gospel Moore said,"Tragically, so many believers feel untrained in spiritual disciplines and unequipped to share their faith If every student has a responsibility of evangelism and the opportunity to enjoy a vibrant relationship with Christ, then^every student should have the opportunity to learn from believing professors who are a bit more seasoned in theseareas."

"At[James Madison] I had a few hours here and there between schoolwork.[Here] I gotobednolaterthanmidnight. Sometimes I have togetupat4 am justtogetall the work done I need todo,"Brown said

The school attracted many students with its 330seat U.S Supreme Courtroom replica located in the middle of the facilities Along with the unique room, there were two other mock trialcourtrooms, allclassrooms and thelaw library that included the latest technology and wireless connections. These benefitswere needed fortheadditionalwork required oflawstudents. Thelawschool'sfirst graduatingclass scored an unusually high barpassage rate of 83% According to Dean Mat Staver, most first year law schoolshave a30to40%passagerate.

The lastpartofa lawstudent'syearwasdesigned to be the easiest. Sara Pope, a married third year student spent around 60 hours a week between homework andclassesduring herfirst yearof school. "I wasabletowork latebefore I wasmarried but now my rule isthat my books close at10:30 I justcan't function pastthen,"said Pope Pope spent lessthen halfofthat timeonschoolwork,during herthird year Brown survived the tough workload with the inner drive he'shad since he wanted to be inlaw school atthe age of7 The atmosphere atthe law school motivated students to continue with their courses. Brown said, "Thefew times I gettogoto Convocation, it is arefreshertothespirit It is definitely an encouragement,andyouneed thosethroughout."

THE 83% PASSAGE rateofthe school'sfirstyearbar exam reflects wellon how students degfreesare acknowleged. Law student David Nauheim said"Thiswill definitelyincrease my credibilityamong potential employers."

The majorityofundergraduate students never saw beyond the locked doors. Like the third and fourth stories of DeMoss Hall,the School of Law seemed mysterious and closed off - only accessible by those who had a plausible reason to be there.A relatively recent addition to the campus, the law school was founded in2004,and had anenrollmentof70students in2007.

Beyond those locked doors were 122,000 square feet of classrooms, a mock trial courtroom, the Ehrhorn Law Library, a studycenterand the Supreme Courtroom,modeled afterthe United States Supreme Court. The school gained a solid reputation as an institution of high quality - a place of learning with a facility befitting itselitestatus "One of the reasons why Ichose Liberty was because of thefacilities," explained first year law student Nick Karr. "The courtrooms are very impressive.It's niceto be in an atmosphere where everything isdone well. There's a librarywith allkinds ofcouches, areas to study, and conferencerooms."

The secretive status of the school may have led to rumors - "Have you seen Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?"joked Cross - but there was a good reason for the security "The badge entry is definitelyvery cool - I was excited to get my badge The reason they have thebadge entry isbecause the American Bar Association requiresthe law schoolto be separate from all other buildings," Karr clarified. No secret lairs existed—only hard-working law students committed to making a positive impact on their nation f

"ICHOSE THIS TRIP FOR MEDICAL EXPERIENCE, said senior Sothea Saing. "I wanted to determine if medical missions was something I would want to do in thefutureand toexperience a differentculture,"he said

Last summer, the department of English and Modern Languagesofferedauniqueopportunityforstudents They offered aTESL [Teaching English as a Second Language) class, where one week was spent ina classroom and the remainder ofthefouroreightweek course was spentin and around Llano,Guatemala. Being a TESL major was not a requirement for participating in the trip as many nursing majorswent to perform medical missions.

Nursing and non-nursing majors witnessed, provided healthcare and helped out wherever they could to aid the citizens there The students worked as long as 24hour shiftsto help those suffering inthe localhospitals. Nursing students had the opportunity to perform simple procedures during their shifts. TESL students taught basic reading, writing and speaking skills tothe peopleof LlanoVerde and neighboringvillages

The group was lead by Biology professors Steve Perry and Dr Davis McGuirt,as well as Spanish professor Dr David Towles. "We were given the opportunity to hand out Bibles and witness...several ofthem came to know Christas theirpersonal Savior,"Saing said

Forstudentslike Saing thetrip was life changing. "God kept us allsafe and healthy; no one in our group was seriously injured or sick He provided everything Most importantly, there were many witnessing opportunities, and several people gave theirlives to Christ."

"What willI do aftercollege?""Where willI go?" [ "How will I succeed?" These were questions every ; student faced. The Washington Semester, offered < by theStrategic Planning Institute(SPI) through the : Career Center gave studentsan opportunity tostart ; a career before graduation. ;

"Someone once told me it'snot what you know ; but who you know," said senior Lisa Miller, who | interned with Congressman Sam Graves (R-MO). :

"This internship program isa perfect setup fora ; college student, and worth the time to try itout,"j said juniorgovernment major Madilyn Liddil.

On top of working fulltime at their internships, students were required to take six credits of distrance learning classes "It takessheer willpower and determination to do your job efficiently along with studying and doing your school requirements aftera long day atwork.This internship is definitely notforthe procrastinators," Miller said.

To many students,the hard work was worth the experience thatthe internship gave."Igetfirsthand knowledge ofhow thingsaredone in congress and I even gettogivemy inputtotheCongressionalstaff," said seniorCriminal Justice major Justin Sandling

During the internship students lived in dormitory styleapartments located in thecenterofthe capital Parking was limited. However the Metro station, which students used to get to and from work, was only a shortwalk away.

The internship was not exclusively for Government related majors. Opportunity was open to anyone who met the requirements. "The student must have a minimum GPA of2.5 orhigher, complete an interview process and submit awriting sample,resume and cover letter," said Brian Corley, recruiter for SPI Student's majors were then matched with availableopportunities.

Half of the students who participated in the program were given job offers. Others made networking connections that would help secure future job opportunities This unique semester provided students with the opportunity to gain the essentialtoolsneeded tosucceed intheir careers.

Kreis

A board of advisors compromised of representatives from local firms such as Tyco Electronics and AREVA was assembled to help develop the engineering school. The first yearof the school focused on entry-level courses in four curriculums.The long term goals were to offercivil and mechanical engineering and develop a masters leveldegree program.

One thing that separated the department from programs like itwas the way engineering was taught. The school's dean, Dr Ron Sones stated,

"We teach engineering from the perspective of the greatest engineer who ever lived,that being Jesus Christ.The firstchapter of John says that 'nothing was made that has been made except from Jesus.' All of our engineering degrees aretaught from the perspective that we know andrecognize the greatest engineer who ever lived and our work is for Hisglory."

The work being carried out atthe school started the process ofequipping studentsforworking in the engineering field. Freshman Omar Adams aspired "to work for NASA ...Iam in computer engineering rightnow because of its versatility, but I want toget a graduate degree inaerospace engineering sothat I can design and testairframes."

Freshman Prescilia Ndjana said, "I expect to work ina big company that brings technologyto third world countries for cheaper [prices] and use that as away to ministertothose people."

> Mathematics offered the satisfaction of solving problems and puzzles. Itadvanced thinking skills and was an intricate part ofeveryday life Though math was notusually a popular subject among the student body,there were aselectfewwho enjoyed quick application thatmathematics offered.

"Almost everything covered inliberal arts math has todo with real-world uses that are useful for non-math majors.I think to beintelligentyou have to be educated inmathematics,"said mathematics professor Nathan Putney.

So why study math at a Chrisitan institution?

"Itisobvious to a lotof people that there can be better opportunities for math atsecular schools However, theenvironmentat aschooldevelopsyour future more than theeducation.Asfarasthe math program, from the colleges that Ihave looked at, [ours]has one ofthetop math programs. Notonly do they require more classes,but the difficulty of the math is harder [here] than most otherChristian schools.As faras I see it, Jerry Falwell said it best when he said,'If it's Christian,it should be better'," answered juniorAaron Beer

Ashley Allen, junior,decided tostudy math here, "because it will betterequip meformymissionfield: the high school classroom."

"Iplan toteach algebra and calculus atthehigh school level and maybe later become a college professor," said sophomore Charnise Allen. However, a mathematics degree opened the door tomore thanjustthe classroom.

With amath degree students could work in fields such asbanking, insurance, computer programming and market research FeliciaAdams planned touse herdegree inaunique way,"I want towork withthe government," shesaid. Government opportunities

and Human Services

Mathematics wasviewed bythese students as practical and useful. To junior Josh Wood math simply made sense "Ilove howmath isalwaysthe same...2+2 isalways four I also enjoy the problem solving aspect ofmath and how youcan[apply] problem solving skills tomany practical thingsin life."

,> "It's exciting to study how the human body functions mechanically," said kinesiology major Rachel Allen. That was why she chose to study the field of kinesiology "Ilove that my major provides an opportunity to serve andhelp people who are hurting.Rehabilitation issuch avulnerable timefor anyone to experience and as aChristian,I have the blessingofofferingthem hopeand encouragement," she continued

"The kinesiology degree program isdesignedto promote the development ofa healthy, physically active Christ-centered lifestyle," according to the programs website.

Kinesiology offered majors such as healthand physical education, exercise science and fitness specialist,thatprepared studentsforawide rangeof careerfields, from thesportsindustryto biomedical science. The difference between Kinesiology here and elsewhere was that students were taught how to apply Christian values totheir work. They also gained the opportunity of being in a career where they could be used as atoolforministry everyday.

Allen planned onusing her degree to pursue the field of Physical Therapy. Shechose a Christian institution for her education because she believed it was important to learn from spiritual mentors She said, "I appreciatetheencouragement from my professors who have the same worldview.Together we can learn andmarvel at our Godthe Creator I can learn from them as spiritual mentors who have thecommon goal ofbringing gloryto God."

At this university students received the opportunity to understand biology from a biblical basis."I decided to come to [here] tostudy biology because Iknew they would teach biology from a Christian perspective which would line up with my beliefs," said senior Anna Fredrickson. This was especially important when learning about theories like evolution, natural selection and many others thatsometimes contradicted theBible.

The education students received prepared them to go out into the "real world" and pursue their desired careers "Ithink [we] have a great biology department. The classes are challenging, but they are helping to prepare us forgraduate and medical schools," said Rachel Keefer Students were given optionsinsidetheprogram likeseniorJamieSublett, who chose toget a teachercertification.

"One of the processes forteacher certification isa 30 hour practicum ina school I fellinlovewith teaching.After I graduate,I am planning on getting my masters in education and then try to get a job teaching,"he said

Keefer echoed the overwhelming reason biology students chose the university saying, "The main reason was that it isa Christian school and I really liked the idea of being surrounded by Christian professors and fellow students that would help me continuetogrow inmy faith."

Students were able to learn the history and application ofpsychology from a biblical angle.

' Many students came to the university to learn more aboutChristinfieldssuch asreligion, women's ministriesand biblicalstudies Otherscame tolearn more about Him in fieldsthatwere typically deemed "secular", such ashistory.

Senior Amber Kamp said,"Attending a Christian university for a degree in history has an added benefitthat many non-Christian universitieswillnot giveyou: [it] teaches you tothink critically."

Professor Donna Donald agreed, "Students who come herefora historydegree do it sothey can get a balanced view of the past. In a state university, students will only get one side of the story and usually it willbe the politicallycorrect side."

^ Beat Coastal! The entire campus moved with 3 the theme The spirit rock displayed it Flashing CD constructions signs pulsed the phrase On a large z sheet suspended from the side of the DeMoss ^ building and innearly every window on campus the 2 words "Beat Coastal"were sprayed inredpaint.

§ This movement was started by Athletic Director § Jeff Barber and Associate Athletic Director Kevin Keys.The campaign flooded thecampus."We were tryingtocreate a rivalryforstudentstorallyaround," said Keys."Thefootball team was already successful sowe onlyhad topromote thegood thingsthatwere already happening."

The student body responded by putting signs up around campus creating a new enthusiasm for football. "Ithought the campaign was great. It seemed the whole campus was pumped about the game which doesn't seem to happen that often," said senior Paul Watson.

Keysand Barbercreated whatwas called "thered shirtcampaign" by passing outfreered t-shirtsthat read "Beat Coastal". Students were encouraged to wear them to the game. "We brainstormed aboutit and determined that we would give out these shirts on Wednesday at convocation," Keys said, "We ended up giving outabout 1,200shirts."

On game day theentirecampus was excited.The attendance was 14,411 people strong "It was great tofinallyseea unifyingtheme carriedoutthroughthe student body It reallyfelt like abiggame atmosphere and helped us win the game," said starting safety Patrick Dickerson.

The team fed offthe energy and produced a big conference win,taking down their rivalsand threetime defending conference champions Coastal Carolina by a score of 37-24 That win put their record at3-0 inconference play and 7-3 overall,by farthe best season the Flames had put togetherin many years

The athletic department felt this was just the beginning. Keys said, "We hope to continue this tradition and rally around a big home game every year." Students picked up the torch themselves by creating signs and shirts for the following game against the VMI Keydets who were "conquered," "kicked" and "beat" by a score of73-34 which took the Flames intothe post-season and paved the way fora Big South title.

Cheerleading was a rigorous sport that required heart,skill, diligence and commitment Thoughcheerleadingwassometimesstereotyped as being aneasy thing to do, students onthe Flames squad felt it was anything but easy They had the responsibility of keeping stadiums and arenas filledwith tempermental fans hyped and entertained.

Every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday the squad hadmandatory practice for two hours. During practice, thecheerleaders spent time perfecting theirskills "To prepare forgames we practiceall ofourstunts, tumbling and pyramids. We make sure everything ishitting solid before we perform itat the games," said senior Jenni Jesse,fouryearveteran on the squad

A new leader took command of men's basketball this year. Head coach Ritchie McKay, a seasoned coach, led the men's team to a turnaround winning record during his first year and turned a promising new page forthe program

McKay'sexperienceincluded head coach positions at four other universities,including leading the 2005 conference champion New Mexico Lobos.

"Ritchieshould fit inperfectlyatLiberty,"said Andy Katz,an ESPN.com seniorwriter, when McKay joined theschool inMarch 2007 "He has passionforthejob I couldn'tthinkofa more appropriate placefor Ritchie to continue hiscoaching career than at an institution thatshares his vision."

That prediction proved true "Being at Liberty makes allthe difference. I haven't enjoyed coaching [anywhere else]as much as at Liberty,"said McKay when asked what it was liketo coach here."To be a partofsomething biggeris special I admirethelegacy Dr.Falwellleft and how hissons havecarried it on," he shared.

McKay quicklyearned therespectoftheteam and pushed them to excel.The team's [win/loss]record was nottheonlyrecordthatimproved thisyear. "We're more responsibleintheclassroom,"said McKay, who emphasized the importance ofhisplayers' academic responsibilities

The players easily adjusted to McKay's style Sophomore B.J. Jenkins called thenew coach a "positive"influenceon him personally "He'smore into God than other coaches. Hecares more about God and basketballcomes second," hesaid.

Cross country runners had a unique, but not abnormal, commitment to Flames athletics. Even though they ran cross country events, they also committed to running distance during a second season as track and field team members. No other student athletes were required to play two different sports,but thiswas not out ofthe ordinary for these versatilerunners.

"It's how the collegiate distance running system works so you just do it,"said senior Jarvis Jelen. "Cross country year-round would get old and track year-round would get old."

The main difference between long-distance track and cross country was the courses. Cross country running involved runners competing on a course over open or rough terrain. These terrains included grass, mud,woodlands and water

Long-distance track events involved a longer run on a track.The standard long-distance events were 5,000and 10,000 meters Long-distance running was more about stamina than speed, because it required mental determination and aerobicconditioning

Students benefited from running in both sports "Cross country season puts you in good shape to run track and vice versa," said Katie Everson "As a competitive distance runner I'm training and racing almost allyear and racing isfun and helps me tostay sharp,"Jelen added

However, thestudentathletesdidhavea preference to which sport they liked more. Everson enjoyed running cross country more than long-distance "I'd rather run through fieldsand woods and not have to be infrontofa crowd thewhole time,"shesaid

"Ilike thefactthattrack iseasiertocompare times because you arenotrunning on differentcoursesthan others.On thetrack it isthe same foreveryone,"said freshman Dan Hibbs.

Whetherthey perferlong-distance orcrosscountry students dedicated themselves to excelling at both. Whether it meant running to the muffled sound of leaves under theirfeet or the cheering of fans inthe stadium.

Twice the Dedication Required from Distance Runners

A mm OF WE

No Weak Linkon theTrackand Field Team

Theycompeted asindividuals, butmakenomistake— theywere a team.With almost 100 members,thetrack and field team included athletes that competed in events ranging from pole vaulting and shot-put to the 400 meter relay. Some members competed on both sides, while others focused on eitherthe track or the field events

"I'm a sprinter - that's all I do," said junior Andrea Beckles "I've been running sinceI was 8 yearsold, so I know nothing butrunning," she shared Becklesranthe 60, 100 and 200 meters as wellasthe4x1 relay.

Senior Steven Barrett concentrated on the field events, competing in the javelin, shot-put, discus, hammer and weight throws as wellas longjump, triple jump and high jump events. Despite the individual nature of those events, Barrett recognized a sense of unity inthe track and field team. "Ithink the track team is thebestrepresentation ofthe 'bodyof Christ'. [there is] such a diversityofeventsthatpeople do and each role is important, but they are so different from each other We work together fora common goal and notone person orpieceofthebody is insignificant,"he explained

Bringing track and field together,Charlene Hibbert brought her talent to both running events including 100 meter,200 meter,400 meter and relaysas well as fieldevents likethe long and triple jumps. "Track isso individual that you have no one to blame anything on but yourself...you have to be the one to push yourself through the pain and frustrationthatyou experiencein yourevent,"shesaid.

Teammates helped each other push past the pain and challenged one anothertodo better "I guessevery team has some competition," said Beckles. "But, we all trytoencourage each other We tell peopleto keep on going, and keep trying...I have girls saying, 'oh, I'm going to beat you,'and I'll say back, 'I'm trying to beat you!' It brings us together,and I likethat."Inthe midst of individual competition, this was a team that stood together-even as they attempted to beat their teammate'stime.

§ Indeed, the young runner had shown her co competitiveness by breaking herown 6K school record thefollowing season "It's exciting [toseta record],but atthesame timeI know recordsarebroken allthetime," she said.

Instead of focusing on setting records, Newby focused on "one littlething at a time" during the long cross country races she ran, she thought, "Ok, get through thisnext mile," or"getthatnextperson."

"It justhelpsto break it up intothingsthatyou know you can do so that in the end you're able to finish strong,"she said.

In races, Newby concentrated on pushing out negativethoughts.When the pain inher body drowned out anything else and the only phrase that echoed in herhead was 'Ow, this hurts,' shetried"tothinkpositive thoughts and remember thetraining I put ininorderto giveme the confidence topush through."

But hard training was not enough forcross country runnerslike Newby. "It hastobe a lifestyle in orderto be a good runner,"Newby said. Gettingtheright amount of sleep and eating healthy must be taken seriously,even if itmeans sacrificing. Newby said there were several Friday nights she could not be out latebecause ofher cross country schedule

Despite the difficulties of crossing the finish line, Newby enjoyed running the race "Ilikethe challenge of it,the obstacles," she said, "I'm a very outdoorsy person, so I love real cross country races where you have the mud and thedirtand thetwist and turnsandtrails."

When the season began for the Flames baseball team they had many players from the previous year The line up was bulked with experienced juniors and seniors. However, every single one ofthe coaches on staffwas starting new.

Coach Jim Toman, formerly the assistant coach at South Carolina, was thenew head coach fortheFlames. He entered intohis23rd year as a coach, bringing with him assistant coaches Scott Jackson, Nick Schnabel and volunteer coach Jeremiah Boles. The new staff aimed to take the team to itsfirst Regional Title since 2000.

"We've tried to make [the daily] expectations alittle more intense than what these guys were used to I've tried to make sure there are no days that go by that we're nottaking steps to get where we're trying to get personally and as a team," Jackson said. The team adjusted tothe new pace quickly

"The team has adjusted to the coaches very well because of[their] enthusiasm fortheplayersand forthe program The coaches arevery personable,easy to talk to and easy to be around which makes it very easy for us [asplayers],"saidjuniorKenneth Negron,

"The team was already a good team, but the new coaches have already and willeven more improve our attitude about being the best.They push us to work hard everyday and instilleda certain levelofexpectation foreach player,"said catcher ErrolHollinger.

Being thebestand working theirhardestwas nothing lessthan what the playersand coaches alikeexpected "I'm notvery patient. We're hoping towin thisyear and continue to build upon the success that the previous staffhad,"said Coach Toman

Freshman FabianaGouvieatookrunnerup honors inan individual match beating opponents from Eastern Michigan and James Madison

Second-year head coach Christopher Johnson, who coached both tennis teams, said, "The girls' freshman recruitingclasswas ranked 17 in thenation among mid-major schools.The guys will also have some help aswe have brought in two strong players to deepen the lineup." Headded, "In myfirstyear, we talked a lot about building a strong foundation with both teams moving intothe new season andI believewe have donethat."

The players on the tennis team seemed to share Coach Johnson's optimism about the new season. Freshman Jordan Jenkins said,"I am astoundedby the deep talentofthe girlson theteam. It is exciting tobe apartofsomething where ambition, talent and motivation come together under one banner."

"©B^'l am used toplaying table tennis. Everyonehasthe tablesin their basementsand I playall thetime Itisjust easierto playtabletennis becauseyou haveto go outsideto playregulartennis. Itis moreof a hassle."

'I liketable tennis, because it's notas competitive, and it's a good game to play when youjustwant togoofoff andrelax."

The Lahaye Ice Center was a popular place to be on game nights as students filled the stands and left standing room only."I would have tosay thatthe most memorable partofplaying hockey here isstepping out on the iceevery night and hearing the fans go crazy," said Konop.

The greatsuccess ofthe hockey program generated a lot of excitement. John Langabeer, a junior playing in the forward position, reminisced about the team's success saying, "My most memorable moment is playing in the national championship game against Oakland University."

Both the men's and women's hockey teams faced challenges being on the club level Rena Leone, a senior right wing on the women's team said,"Itwas a hard transition because everything at the NCAA level is pretty much given to you. At the club level we are paying foreverything ourselves."

Thereweremany factorsin becoming an NCAA team. Coach KirkHandy said,"Ifand when theprogram goes NCAA, willbe leftup tothe Chancellor and Dr.Godwin as tothetiming."

"Itall depends on the NCAA committee and the title nine rule that decides when we can make the jump," Langabeersaid. Withthatdecision pending,the hockey teams still faithfullytook the ice game aftergame with thefull support ofthe student body

"Mike Gartneris inspirationalbecause he incorporated hisChristianfaithintoeverything he did on and offthe ice He was alwaysveryopen about his faithand shared it whenever theopportunity presented itself and because ofthishe was highlyrespected by everyone around him and anyone who gottoknow him.Hismotivation wasto glorifyGod through hisplayand thatdrove him to work hard no matterwhat thecircumstances."
