A LETTER FROM

THE PRESIDENT

This edition of the Piper is dedicated to underscoring the mission of Lyon College. You will find on the following pages articles and stories explaining the importance and power of a liberal arts education. It is our intention not only to tell you what such an education is, but to show you the impact it has had on the lives of students who have earned a degree from Lyon College. Last year, when the Board of Trustees approved Lyon’s current strategic plan, they reaffirmed the College’s commitment to the liberal arts. As you might guess, there were voices during the strategic planning process that expressed a desire for us to alter our mission, to journey in other educational directions. Yet these voices did not divert the College from the mission it has pursued since its initial strategic plan was crafted twenty years ago. Institutions of higher education in our country today offer a wide variety of programs and serve a wide variety of students, but fewer and fewer impart a genuine liberal arts education. Similarly, fewer and fewer offer the distinct advantages of the residential campus. The true strength of American higher education is the diversity it provides students. Within such a diverse universe, Lyon College knows where we fit and how best to serve the students who choose Lyon. Lyon’s strength is in our ability to offer an education that will withstand all the fads and trends in education that inevitably give way to new fads and trends over the years. The education the College values and provides is one that has endured through many decades, crossing three centuries. The story of the Blount brothers (pages 20-23) is a wonderful example of the value of the education that can be achieved at Lyon. The Blounts demonstrate an ongoing passion for learning and service sparked during their four short years at Lyon and lasting well beyond. They represent three distinct examples of what is so liberating about a liberal arts education. Their stories, as well as those about Dr. Scott Merrill, ’92, and Melanie, ’05, and Matt Buchanan, ’05, all illustrate the importance of a path of studies that is much, much more than training for one aspect of a life. This is why we at Lyon remain steadfastly committed to offering a timeless liberal arts education. Sincerely,

Donald Weatherman

By Dr. Virginia Wray, Dean of the Faculty, and Hannah Keller, Communications Specialist ince 2002, enrollment in online courses has increased each year. While the rate of growth is slowing, millions of students are still choosing to take at least one course online. At the same time, many students are taking technical courses to prepare themselves for immediate employment in entry-level technical jobs. Couple those trends with the explosive increase in enrollment at for-profit institutions, (225% over the last two decades according to an investigative report conducted by former Iowa Senator Tom Harkin), and it is no wonder that the talk of the inevitable demise of liberal arts colleges is in the air. Despite that prediction, thousands of alumni of small liberal arts colleges said in a 2011 study conducted by a higher education consulting firm that their liberal arts education “prepared them for their first jobs, career changes and advancement, and overall preparation for life after college.” What they received from four years of study at a liberal arts college explains this positive testimony. Living and learning together on a liberal arts college campus equips students with the skills to work effectively as part of team. Working with others from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures teaches them not only to be open to the views of others, but also to understand and develop their own values and strengths and to address their weaknesses. The residential community at a liberal arts college is as much a part of the learning experience as the lessons in the classrooms. It is here that students foster responsible relationships and mature communal commitments. “This is where students will learn what it means to be a citizen of honor and respect in society,” said Dr. Kurt Grafton, Professor of Chemistry at Lyon.

Ultimately, liberal arts students come to know themselves as they learn about others. “Liberal education, first and foremost, is about self-knowledge,” said Lyon President Dr. Donald Weatherman. “The single most important result of a student’s undergraduate education is self-knowledge. Students should be brought to a clear understanding of their own strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes. Based on an accurate self-understanding, the liberally educated student is prepared to know and understand other people, both individually and collectively.” Formal education in the liberal arts classroom is no less valuable and timeless than experience outside of class. Liberal arts students are not taught what to think, but rather how to think. They are encouraged to be inquisitive and to wrestle patiently and persistently with questions until they arrive at some answers. In the process, they learn critical thinking and organizational skills, and they learn to trust themselves as independent incisive thinkers. Such skills will never lose their relevance. High-school students choosing a college should know some facts about all liberal arts colleges and about Lyon specifically:

Winter 2015

According to the Association of American Colleges and Universities, 80% of employers want to hire students who have obtained a liberal arts education. CEOs of many of the nation’s strongest companies seek out liberal arts college graduates. Steve Sadove, past Chairman and CEO of Saks Fifth Avenue and member of the Board of Trustees, Hamilton College, says, “During my 38 years in the corporate sector, I have found that as employees progress in a career, it is these broad liberal arts skills—the ability to think critically and communicate clearly—that differentiate their performance.” Liberal arts skills “get you hired, they help you stand out, they create workers with passion and purpose, and they lead to promotions.”

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average worker currently holds 10 different jobs before age 40, and this number is projected to grow. Forrester Research

predicts that today’s youngest workers will hold 12 to 15 jobs in their lifetime. Liberal arts colleges like Lyon don’t train students for jobs: they develop in them the skills and flexibility to succeed at the multiple different jobs they will hold in their lifetimes. Four-year Scots soccer player Gabriel LeBlanc, ’10, (who earned his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University in 2014 and is now post-doc at Texas-Austin) says it succinctly: “I would be remiss to leave out the important aspects of my undergraduate experience that enabled me to be a successful graduate student at Vanderbilt University. The most important attribute that Lyon possesses . . . is the tremendous liberal arts education. While most of my fellow graduate students have a solid background in the fundamentals of chemistry, many lack the written and oral presentation skills that are a fundamental aspect of the liberal arts background I developed at Lyon.”

Private liberal arts colleges give students nearly six times as much institutional grant aid as does the federal government. Private colleges award $14,826 per student in grants, compared to $4,765 per student at public colleges. Average loan debt for graduates of private colleges is $19,500—the same as a modest automobile, but the value of the degree appreciates while the car’s value depreciates. Over the past decade, published tuition and fees at public four-year institutions have increased twice as fast as tuition and fees at independent colleges and universities. Taking more than four years to graduate incurs greater costs and lost income. According to the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, a

student who graduates in four years from an independent college spends more than $20,000 less than a student who graduates in five years from a public institution and more than $70,000 less than a student who graduates in six years from a public institution.

Graduates of liberal arts colleges like Lyon are respected, productive, involved citizens.

Graduation rates at private four-year institutions are 20% higher than at public institutions.

Liberal arts students also volunteer at a higher rate. 64% of 16- to 24-year-olds at private colleges and universities volunteered, whereas only 22% of all 16- to 24-year-olds in the general population did. Consequently, they become productive and involved citizens throughout their lives.

59% of graduates of smaller private colleges finish within four years, compared to 38% at regional public universities. 70% of first-generation and low-income students attending private liberal arts colleges graduate at twice the rate of those at public institutions. Minority students at private liberal arts colleges have a higher graduation rate than those at public institutions. 62% of Hispanic students and 45% of black students at private colleges graduate, compared to 50% and 40% at public universities and 34% and 21% at for-profit institutions.

Students at liberal arts colleges receive personal attention from their faculty, academic advisers, and student life personnel: they are not numbers in a lecture hall of 400, nor names living somewhere off campus. They are part of a living/learning community. Because of close relationships with their faculty and staff and with their classmates with whom they live 24/7 for four academic years, they have mentors, and they develop enduring people skills and a formative sense of responsibility to their communities.

Students at liberal arts colleges vote in local, state, and national elections at a higher rate than their cohorts at public universities. 77% of 18- to 24-year old private college students are registered to vote, compared to 53% of all 18- to 24-year olds.

entering students may not initially understand why they are required to take a variety of courses outside of their majors, seeing such classes as irrelevant to their career aspirations. By the time they graduate, however, they know that their broad liberal arts backgrounds will be crucial to their ability to function successfully and happily in their professional and personal lives. No matter their majors, after four years of life at Lyon, students will have earned the keys to successful, satisfying, productive lives. “As a private liberal arts college, Lyon has a significant and unique place in Arkansas higher education. I’ve had several people tell me that Lyon College is Arkansas’ best-kept secret. Let it be a secret no more. With high admission standards, an incredibly appealing teacher to student ratio, and rigorous academic programs, Lyon College produces graduates who are exceedingly well-prepared to succeed in life and to make a significant impact on the world around them,” said Perry Wilson, Chairman, Lyon Board of Trustees. The stated facts and figures are provided by the Council of Independent Colleges and can be found at www.liberalartspower.org.

Winter 2015

// on campus Kathy Whittenton, Public Services Librarian, was a student when the storm hit. “I was walking to economics class,” she said. “I looked up at the sky, and I noticed how violet and yellow it was. The feeling around me was very strange. We always heard birds, but there were no birds that day. Everything was eerily silent.” The storm shook campus with its sudden strike. Dr. Terrell Tebbetts, who has taught English at Lyon for more than 40 years, remembers the day of the storm well and recounts his surprise when they realized the severity of it. “No tornadoes were predicted that day, but a storm came up,” he said. “The storm was a very bad thunderstorm; we could tell because of the skylight. You could see how hard the rain was falling. And instead of falling, it was going sideways. I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, the wind is horrible!’” Like Tebbetts, Dr. Garry Wann, Associate Professor of Business Administration, was also teaching a class at the time of the storm. “You could see out of the windows what looked like a 100-year-old large oak tree,” he said. “Everything got really quiet and dark. In a few moments the wind had become so strong that the tree was bending like a rubber band right outside of my classroom.”

By Angelica Holmes, ’15 On April 19, 1973, a tornado hit Batesville and changed the community forever. Though many of the storm’s witnesses are gone, some Lyon employees were on campus during the storm. They all have different stories, but every story has a common thread—the emergence of hope in a time of chaos. 6

The damage was extensive, and Lyon had to replace several buildings. One of the most significant results of the tornado was the damage to the chapel. “The steeple was off the chapel,” Tebbetts said. “The shingles and decking were off of the roof itself.” Because the steeple was blown completely off the chapel, the original cross was also

missing. One professor took a special interest in it. “The cross was laying cattycornered on the ground,” Whittenton said. “And one day it disappeared. I couldn’t figure out where the cross had gone. I went in to talk to Dr. Spragins in his office one day, and I finally found it.” Dr. Fitzhugh Spragins, Brown Professor of Religion, had taken the cross for safekeeping. His wife, Hope Spragins, recounts the events. “My husband was walking across campus after [the tornado] and he saw that the cross from the chapel had blown off and it was bent,” she said. “So he got it and took it up and put it in his office. It stayed there until he retired.” This potential tragedy birthed hope in the form of a meditation garden. Located in the heart of campus, within the Mabee-Simpson Library, the Tornado Cross Garden tells the story of life, death, and rebirth, and features the beloved chapel cross. “I think it is just a place where you can be quiet from all the hubbub of college life or all the stress that people have sometimes,” Hope said. “You can just go out there and hopefully meditate and feel peaceful and be closer to God. Fitzhugh would be so proud of the way it looks now because this school was so dear to him.” Chaplain Bill Branch wants students to be inspired by the resilience of the cross. “I’d like the students to go into that garden and sit there and look at that cross and say, ‘That cross took a pretty good wop. It’s bent, yet it’s back again. It’s restored. It’s resurrected. And that can happen to me. I can take a pretty good wop, but I can still come out with a new strength from God.”

Students get lesson in horse sense By Hannah Keller, Communications Specialist With the help of Lyon College Board of Trustees member Scott Wood, the Lyon Education and Adventure program introduced an equestrian program this fall. “I originally talked with Dr. Weatherman about the idea on a trail ride he did with me,” Wood said. “[LEAP leaders] Shelby Frazier and Scott Dirksen had been talking about it for some time. They knew there was student interest. It was one of those things that just evolved through conversations started over a year ago. Recreational equine programs are expensive to operate as stand alone outdoor activities in an institutional setting. We agreed to start small and experiment.” Twelve students participated in three clinics where they learned about horse care, grooming, tack, and basic riding techniques. Frazier, ’15, headed up organizing the program with Dirksen and Wood. “Scott 8

Dirksen got me in contact with Scott Wood and then let me take it from there. It was an amazing outdoor hobby I had as a kid, and I wanted to share that experience with the students here,” Frazier said. Dirksen, Director of Outdoor Recreation and Education, added that he had always wanted to do an equestrian program for students. “I had a pretty good idea that the students would be into this sort of activity but just needed the right gear and person to help us. Thanks to Scott Wood, we were able to make this happen for our students.” Wood has 53 years of riding experience. “Santa” brought him his first horse for Christmas when he was 11 years old. “While all my friends were riding bikes and motor scooters or having their parents take them places around town, I rode my horse. I rode him to play sports, shop downtown, to events . . . everywhere. I participated in

horse shows, did trail rides, etc. I got out of the horse hobby when I could drive a car and got back in when I was in my mid 20s and working at the Chevy dealership. That was mostly arena horse sports like roping and cutting,” Wood said. He and his wife, Myra, started serious trail riding in the mid-90s and have been riding gaited trail horses ever since. “It is a wonderful and fulfilling activity for the whole family,” he said. Feedback from those who participated has been very positive, Dirksen said, and it looks like the equestrian program could become a regular part of LEAP. “For many of them, this was their first LEAP activity and for about half of them, it was the first time they had done anything with horses. Since it was so successful this time, we would love to offer this every semester, especially if we can have a student step up into a leadership role to make it happen. Shelby will be doing this again next semester, but then she graduates, so after that

it depends on other students stepping up,” Dirksen said. Wood said he has enjoyed teaching the clinics and hopes he has laid the foundation for students to decide if riding is a hobby they would like to continue to pursue. “My desire is to introduce or reintroduce students to an outdoor activity that’s fun and interesting. There is more to the horse hobby than just showing up and riding one. I want those who are interested to know what goes into the hobby—the preparation, the science, the care, the equipment, the expense, and the satisfaction of riding. With this knowledge, each individual can then make up their mind if it is something they would like to pursue. It is a sport you can do for a lifetime,” Wood said.

“I have had conversations with the administration and every indication I get is that the equine program could very well become an ongoing part of LEAP. I certainly enjoy it. It gives me an opportunity to share my love of the sport with others and another reason to go ride.” Winter 2015

Teaching at Lyon bookends professor’s law career By Hannah Keller, Communications Specialist When Garry Wann began teaching at Arkansas College in 1970 after earning his Master of Business Administration from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, he was one of only two professors teaching in the business department. After teaching for three years, Wann decided to return to Fayetteville to attend law school. “I always wanted to be an attorney. When I was young I would go to the courthouse and watch various cases. I also thought that a MBA would be beneficial if I was going to work in corporate law,” he said. In 1979, Wann began his stint as Deputy Attorney General for the state providing legal services for 22 state agencies. In 1980, he became the head of the Consumer Utilities Rate Advocacy Division for the Office of the Attorney General and as such would intervene in public 10

utility cases on behalf of the citizens of Arkansas. Wann went on to work as senior counsel for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company for 16 years. He then worked as a telecommunications consultant providing seminars to subject matter experts that testified for AT&T in regulatory proceedings and civil litigation, essentially preparing witnesses to testify in court. In 2002, Wann returned to his hometown to take up the position of Associate Professor of Business Administration at Lyon. “I’m here because of the teaching,” Wann said. “It’s what I enjoy most. The reward you get from teaching the students is immeasurable, and the friendships that I’ve developed with the faculty and staff have just made the job even more meaningful.” Wann is retiring at the end of the 2015 spring semester. He said he and his wife plan to travel more with Vienna and London at the top of their list of destinations they’d like to visit. Wann said he will most likely continue his pro bono work to some degree. “It doesn’t matter who you are. When a problem arises, people want to consult a lawyer. Being able to help in that respect has always been very appealing to me,” he said.

The Scots will meet Tabor College in their first home game of the 2015 season at 1 p.m. on August 29 at Pioneer Stadium. “Anytime you’re starting a program from scratch, opening day is always very exciting,” Kelley said. Construction is progressing on the new football field house, and, according to Athletic Director Kevin Jenkins, should be completed by this spring. “When we get that facility finished, it will be such a blessing,” Kelley said. “So many people have put so much into it. It will be well worth the wait.”

The Lyon Scots took a well-deserved break before returning full force this spring to meet opponents on their home turf for the first time. Football Coach Kirk Kelley said he was feeling confident in the team’s abilities at the end of fall practice. “We had two scrimmages that I felt went extremely well,” Kelley said. “I feel like we’re in good shape on both sides of the ball. We’re a young team, but I feel good about who we have.” The team began spring training after the holiday break to prepare for a challenging

Jenkins said the men’s and women’s wrestling teams have had a successful kickoff to their season, joining three other collegiate wrestling programs in the state. “It’s one of the fastest growing collegiate sports. It’s brought a different dynamic to the College and to our athletic program,” Jenkins said. With the new wrestling complex 90 percent complete, the team has already been able to practice in the new facility. Like football, the wrestling teams will have their first home matches this year. Both men’s and women’s teams competed against Lidenwood University-Belleville January 13 in Becknell Gymnasium. “This is an exciting time for the athletics program,” Jenkins said. “Our program will grow from 170 athletes in 2013-14 to close to 320 in fall 2015. It’s a fun time and brings something new not only to the campus but to the community as well.” Winter 2015

printer adds new dimension to lessons Dillard Bryan Professor of Biology. Students were split into groups, and each group could choose one of seven proteins to study in greater detail. By Hannah Keller, Comm. Specialist A new piece of technology is bringing lessons in cell biology to life. The biology department purchased a commercial-grade 3D MakerBot printer and has put it to use in a recent project to help students better understand cell proteins. “I’ve been trying to teach students that what is important about proteins is their three-dimensional structure, and that’s hard to do with twodimensional images in a textbook,” said Dr. Tim Lindblom, Willie

The Lyon College

Students downloaded 3D files of their proteins from an online database, Protein Data Bank, and were then able to print those files using the new printer to create a three-dimensional model of their protein. “You can’t see what the protein is really like from the images in a book,” said junior Anna Niemeyer. “Being able to hold the model in your hand and see the protein as it actually appears makes so much more sense. It just helped all the information to connect.”

Sophomore Nicole Sanders said she could easily see how the printer could be used in other classes as well. “I think this would definitely help in organic chemistry and other biology and anatomy classes,” she said. “Being able to look at the model adds another element to the lesson because you may notice something in the model that you didn’t from the photo in the book, so then you explore that and learn something you may never have noticed otherwise.” Lindblom said other departments, such as mathematics and art, had already expressed interest in using the printer to enhance lessons.

Donor support turning Lyon’s vision for growth into reality By Hannah Keller, Communications Specialist Thanks to the generous support from the Lyon College Board of Trustees and other members of the College family, construction is progressing on two new residence halls needed to house Lyon’s ever-growing student body. “In order to continue to be a residential campus and to compete with other colleges similar to us in the state, we needed new residence halls,” said Lyon President Dr. Donald Weatherman. “Right now we have about 150 students living off campus simply because we didn’t have the room to house them.” Lyon received a $1 million lead pledge from the R. E. Lee Wilson Trust Foundation to help fund the new residence halls. Lyon will receive the funds in five installments over the next five years. Perry Wilson, Lyon’s chairman of the Board of Trustees as well as a trustee with the foundation, said the foundation trustees believe in the merits of a liberal arts education, which is the foundation of Lyon’s curriculum. Wilson serves as one of the foundation trustees along with his uncles, Steve and Bobby Wilson. “The gift from the R. E. Lee Wilson Trust Foundation was prompted by a recognition of the trustees of the foundation as to the important role that Lyon College plays in the State of Arkansas, and by the realization that

Lyon College can only succeed in its dynamic growth plan if private foundations and individuals who believe in the merits of a liberal arts education step up and help to fund that vision,” Wilson said. Several other members of the board have followed suit and stepped up with additional donations to help fund the project. Lyon also was awarded a $400,000 grant from The Roy & Christine Sturgis Charitable Trust, and another $500,000 grant from the J. E. and L. E. Mabee Foundation to support funding for the new dorms. The award from the Mabee Foundation is a challenge grant, requiring Lyon to raise money from donors for the project in order to claim the award. “With this grant, the Trust’s cumulative support of Lyon College will top $1 million. It is a significant milestone, one that will benefit Arkansas students for generations,” said Executive Director of Advancement Gina Garrett. In addition to the new facilities, which should be completed by fall 2015, Brown and Barton Apartments on campus have been completely remodeled, turning them into fresh, contemporary living spaces for students. “I’m truly excited to have new housing on campus. It is something we desperately needed as we work to grow our student population to better serve this community,” Weatherman said.

Global academy helps Lyon junior

hone leadership skills By Hannah Keller, Communications Specialist An education at Lyon College means more than a focus on academics. The college aims to help students develop into responsible citizens who possess the skills to be leaders in their communities. Junior Robbi Riggs got the opportunity to build those skills further at the Hesselbein Global Academy for Student Leadership and Civic Engagement. Dr. Bruce Johnston, Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students, recommended Riggs, a double major in political science and accounting, for the academy. The academy, held in July at the University of Pittsburgh, brings together 50 top student leaders from around the globe to focus on how to become “effective, ethical, and innovative leaders,” according to the academy’s website. 14

Even if you are young, even if you are just one person, you can still make a real impact. “It was four full days of leadership training,” Riggs said. “We focused on team-building activities, and we did a service project. In addition, we had time built in for networking with the other student leaders.” Students ranged from 19-24 years old, and Riggs said many were in graduate programs or had already founded their own nonprofits. Most spoke at least two languages. “It broadened my world significantly, and it was really inspirational to see these young people doing so much to create an impact in their world,” Riggs said. “It was neat to get to know people who share similar values as myself while being from completely different cultural backgrounds.” Riggs said the challenges of the academy began before she ever arrived at the university. Students were required to create a Leadership Action Plan detailing how they wanted to make an impact in the world and the necessary steps to reach their goal. “It forced me to think deeply about my plans. I knew I wanted to practice business law, but I didn’t know much besides that,” she said. Riggs said she has determined she wants to focus her career on the juvenile justice system and hopes to create programs that would ease overcrowding in juvenile detention facilities and rehabilitate youths instead of sending them to jail. She became familiar with the juvenile system when she worked with Arkansas Supreme Court Judge Rhonda Wood. “It’s not always the best option to send kids to jail. It would be great if I could become

a judge and help implement programs that would focus on rehabilitating juvenile offenders,” she said. Participants were split into groups, each of which was led by a mentor. Riggs worked with Anthony Fountain, a leader of the civil rights sit-in at the University of Pittsburgh in 1969. She said he was instrumental in the development of her Leadership Action Plan. Riggs’ group also participated in a service project with The Neighborhood Academy, a private school for inner-city children. “We worked to help them expand their social media presence,” she said. In addition to the service project, participants attended several different sessions throughout each day focusing on a variety of topics such as how to work with different personality types, ethics, leadership in the military, and more. The last day of the academy, students met founder Frances Hesselbein, an expert in contemporary leadership development and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the U.S. Riggs said she made some great connections with other students and is keeping in touch with them through social media. “The biggest takeaway from this was the people. Twenty-seven countries were represented, and many of these students have done so much already. I want to surround myself with people like them because their leadership is so encouraging, showing me that even if you are young, even if you are just one person, you can still make a real impact,” Riggs said.

Internship gives Lyon student taste of real-world science By Hannah Keller, Communications Specialist Despite the plethora of obstacles she encountered during her experiments, junior Anne Darley said her summer internship with Dr. Scott Merrell, ’92, in Bethesda, Maryland, was the best experience of her life. “I had an eight-week long battle with E. coli contaminant in all of my experiments, but I learned what it means to actually be a scientist,” Darley said. “Everything in a school lab is so controlled where nothing can go wrong. This was much more beneficial to have those obstacles and learn how to deal with those.” Darley’s internship lasted from May 19 to August 18. During that time, she worked on iron uptake and chemically defined media in Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that is responsible for causing ulcers and stomach cancer. Darley’s work in the lab was to help increase the understanding of which gene H. pylori utilized for ferric iron uptake, which the bacterium needs to survive. “I created three bacterial strains that each knocked out one of three genes which regulated ferric iron uptake,” Darley said. “Then I spent several weeks utilizing these strains in different chemically defined media and compared how they helped the bacteria grow and form colony-forming units.” Merrell said Darley was successful in creating a mutated form of H. pylori with the potential to be useful to his lab further down 16

the road. He said she was also able to work out growth conditions for the bacterium that would allow scientists in his lab to look at the different types of iron that could be used by the bacterium. “Anne was really a hard worker. Even though there were a lot of challenges she kept working hard,” Merrell said. “She got a good taste of what real science is like in that not every experiment works out the way you expect it to and that you have to spend a great deal of time to do good science. It was a great learning experience for her. Science is a challenging field, and it takes a lot of hard work to do it and do it well.” Merrell said Darley worked closely with a senior graduate student and that she meshed well with everyone in the lab. “It was bright and lively,” Darley said. “I definitely got the fun lab. I got to collaborate

with my mentor instead of being told what to do step-by-step. It was fun to be a collaborator instead of a student.” Darley said she will look for other internship opportunities like this one before she is set to graduate with a degree in biology in 2016. Merrell agreed that he too is open to offering another internship opportunity at his lab. Dr. Tim Lindblom, Willie Dillard Bryan Professor of Biology, selected Darley for the internship after Merrell expressed interest in giving a Lyon student a research experience similar to what he had in his undergraduate years.

“I think Anne was a really good emissary for Lyon, and this experience has helped me see that it is beneficial for both my lab and the student to do this year after year. My hope is to establish a program to bring a Lyon student to my lab each year,” Merrell said. Winter 2015

Lewis McColgan Professor of Religion, took a group of students from his Introduction to Ethics class to the Heifer International Ranch in Perryville in October. The group participated in Heifer’s Global Gateway program, where they had the opportunity to live in conditions similar to those of people around the world. Heifer says on its website that “Global Gateway creates an existence in which nothing— shelter, food, water or cooking fuel—can be taken for granted”.

“We learned a little about the Heifer Project before we got there,” Floyd said. “We knew about their mission statement, but we weren’t sure what the experience was going to be like. They gave us a list of essential items, like a water bottle and a sleeping bag, but other than that and the fact that we knew we would have to act like we were living in a certain country or location, we had no idea what it was going to be like.” Senior Tommie Ricker, another student in Bube’s class, was not prepared for the real life experience she received on the trip. “I wasn’t expecting it to feel as real as it did,” Ricker said. “I expected sort of a Vacation Bible School activity of ‘let’s learn about these countries!’ I didn’t realize how difficult it would be or how personally I would take it. It was a very intense and rewarding experience, and I was expecting a little field trip.” The group also faced another layer of difficulty that night, when temperatures reached record lows. Bube described the experience as “terribly uncomfortable.” Recognizing that their trip would soon be over helped many of the participants to power through the tough elements. Remembering that people around the world face such elements on a daily basis, however, was a harsh reality for some.

“The most difficult part of the whole trip, to me, was knowing that such a large amount of the world has to go through that every night,” Floyd said. “I feel like I have a responsibility to do more to help people in developing countries. Because of these experiences, I am going to seriously consider working outside of the U.S. after school.” The trip gave Ricker, like Floyd, a sense of gratitude for all that she does have. “This trip taught me I should definitely appreciate the things our culture takes for granted,” Ricker said. “I have never thought much about preheating my stove other than ‘man, this takes awhile.’ I will never complain about that again. Some people have to light fires with matches, sometimes outside in the snow like we tried to. Some people don’t get to control the temperature of the stove they cook on. Some people don’t get a stove at all. It was a very sobering experience.”

laughing. [The group staying in the mock-up of] Appalachia was also really generous; they allowed people to use their fire if they needed it, and they were willing to share their food. They didn’t have to be like that. I was really struck by people being willing to share what little they had.”

Everyone’s generosity and resilience gave the group hope for humanity. “In the midst of all this difficulty, people were still finding beauty in life,” Bube said. “Maybe being stressed or being overburdened gives you an appreciation for things that other people can’t see, but I realize that it takes a lot to totally squash the human spirit.”

Like his students, Bube also took away many lessons from the trip, one coming from his walk through the “slums” late that night. “When we walked by, I realized that they were all having fun,” he said. “They were enjoying their time together, talking and Winter 2015

Same liberal arts foundation takes Blount brothers on different life journeys By Hannah Keller, Communications Specialist Brothers R. D., Ben, and Rob Blount couldn’t be more different in their professional pursuits. R. D. is an experienced intercultural mediator who has nearly completed his doctorate at the Indonesian Consortium for Religious Studies. Ben is the Chief of the Tobacco and Volatiles Branch of the Division of Laboratory Sciences, National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, and Rob is a physician at the University of California at San Francisco. Other than their brotherhood, only one common thread links them: Lyon College. The Blounts, who grew up on a family farm in Iowa, became familiar with Arkansas visiting their grandparents who retired to Horseshoe Bend. When it came time for R. D., the eldest brother, to consider potential colleges, it seemed only natural that Lyon, then Arkansas College, be on his list. “I love adventure sports, and I knew there’d be good kayaking on the Buffalo River there,” R. D. said. “My grandparents living close by was also one of the major facets of choosing Arkansas College. I looked seriously at five or six different colleges. I liked the dorms, the beauty of the campus, and I enjoyed the Presbyterian church in town. I knew that I was in the right spot.” 20

Lyon President Dr. Donald Weatherman was a professor at Lyon while the brothers were attending and had the opportunity to teach both Ben and Rob. “All three of those brothers represent why I’ve spent my life working in church-related liberal arts colleges,” Weatherman said. “They were three very different young men who went in very different directions, but they all started with the same education right here. I think they are all excellent examples of what we do here at Lyon. They have continued their education and are being what I hope all our students will be in that they are great contributors to their communities. It’s a remarkable thing to watch students grow and mature and feel you in some small way made an impact in their lives.” R. D. Blount R. D. graduated from Arkansas College in 1986 with a B.A. in psychology. For him, the College was the foundation for lifelong friendships, a healthy lifestyle, and a mature faith. “I met my roommate, Allen Haralson, who to this day is one of my closest friends. I also formed a deeper relationship with my brother, Ben, who came along in my junior year,” he said. “My professors were not only

my teachers and my friends, they were my mentors. I look back on the firm foundation established during my AC years, preparing me for adventures both academic and experiential. I consider myself so blessed.” One of those mentors include Dennis Wright, a biology professor who took one of R. D.’s classes on a trip to Tiburon Island in the Sea of Cortez. “I not only use the curriculum I learned under him, but the steady advice that I received from him over dinner at his home and during the time we spent together outside the classroom,” R. D. said. He went on to name others who had a profound impact on his life as a student that lasted into adulthood: social work professor Mike Cumnock, who taught him selfawareness and gave him the tools to work through difficulties in life in a healthy way; the grace and character of physical science and mathematics professor Robert Carius, who R. D. said students respectfully called “The Admiral” after his rank in the Navy; and Charles Oliver, the English professor who called him out for being the class clown on the first day of school and with whom he would later develop a fast friendship. R. D. is currently a doctoral student and intercultural mediator at Indonesian Consortium for Religious Studies in Yogyakarta in Java, Indonesia. He has only to complete his dissertation to finish his doctorate. He was awarded the prestigious Beasiswa Unggulan Scholarship by the Indonesian Government. R. D. is one of few Westerners to have ever received this full-ride scholarship. His research focuses on peace and conflict studies and currently deals with intercultural and inter-religious dialogue between Christian and Muslim students. In 2012, R. D. planned and

moderated a conference for seven Americans and 22 Indonesians on the south shore of the Indonesian island of Java. As a relationship building activity, he took the students surfing, using his love of adventure sports to help bridge the cultural gap between these students.

“There are many differences between Muslims and Christians, and yet these young women and men struggled to their feet, fell with yells of delight, and cheered each other on . . . all the same. Just as in surfing, students learned that intercultural dialogue is difficult as well as rewarding,” he said. Winter 2015

Dr. Ben Blount Ben graduated summa cum laude from Lyon in 1988 with a B.S. in biology. He also met his wife, Kelly, during his years at Lyon. The couple has been married almost 28 years and has two children. After Lyon, Ben went on to earn his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of California at Berkeley. His research focuses on health effects caused by tobacco-related toxicants. Ben said he caught “the research bug” while at Lyon. “I really caught the research bug working with [biology and chemistry professors] Scott Peterson and Bert Holmes. I enjoyed the challenge and being an explorer asking a question that no one had been able to answer yet,” he said. “Lyon was so important for me. It was such a springboard to things that have made my life rich and rewarding.”

Before taking his position with the CDC in 1996, Ben participated in a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Biomedical Mass Spectrometry Unit of the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. He said that the liberal arts education he received at Lyon enables him to be an effective leader in his current role because he understands how to work with people from all walks of life. “I think the liberal arts education helped me to think critically about challenges and to work collaboratively with other coworkers and stakeholders. I loved learning about classic literature from Terrell Tebbetts and cultural anthropology from George Lankford. There was such a wonderful breadth to it that helps me be a more well-rounded person and helps me be able to work with different people from different backgrounds. I was

equipped to understand people and their varying motivations. I’m glad to have the chance to formally thank the college for that great training and the difference it has made in my life,” Ben said. Dr. Robert Blount The youngest of the brothers, Rob graduated with a bachelor’s in biology from Lyon in 1991. From his own knowledge of Arkansas College as a kid and later through his brothers’ experiences at the school, he was very familiar with the college before he enrolled. “It was a very peaceful place where I knew I could live and be studious. I knew through my brothers about the professors and the importance of the one-on-one relationship they had with their professors. For me it was easily the right choice,” he said. At the encouragement of his professors, Rob went to Italy for two summers to take on his own research project focusing on the way cells process insulin. “My science professors were amazing role models. They encouraged me to be inquisitive. It was also a unique experience to have a chance to travel internationally. I went on to be a Peace Corps volunteer

right after graduation and taught physics to students in Kenya. That helped me develop the momentum to take on other international projects,” Rob said. Today Rob is a faculty member at the University of California, San Francisco, in pulmonary and critical care medicine. In addition to teaching, he also is a practicing physician specializing in caring for children and adults with complex lung diseases. He is also conducting research in California and Vietnam exploring the effects of traffic pollution and other outdoor pollutants on tuberculosis. Rob said he hoped his own children would have the benefit of a liberal arts education like he received at Lyon. “It’s so hard to point to any one particular thing, but Lyon had a huge impact on me. There was a big emphasis on not only studying but on how you are living your life and developing your moral character. It was part of the essence of being there. It was important to get good grades, but more important was who you were becoming as a person. Lyon develops the whole person, not just the mind, and I want my kids to have the same kind of caring environment where teachers really care about their students,” he said.

Grads learning to be global citizens in Peace Corps By Hannah Keller, Communications Specialist Two Lyon College anthropology graduates joined the ranks of thousands of volunteers striving to make a difference in the world through service in the Peace Corps. Willa Thomason and Payton Ouber, both 2014 graduates and two of the three anthropology majors last spring, embarked on two-year assignments after graduation, Thomason in October and Ouber this January. “I’ve always thought that people are the most interesting topic you can study,” said Thomason of her decision to major in anthropology. “Psychology does that too, but I like the cultural aspect.” Thomason will teach English to fourth through sixth grade students in Samoa during her deployment. She has an interest in studying ethnobotany, the scientific

study of the relationships that exist between peoples and plants, which is why she chose Samoa for her destination. “Samoa is in a tropical rain forest, so what better area for the study of ethnobotany?” Thomason said. She is specifically interested in how people use hallucinogenic plants in rituals and ceremonies. Thomason had the opportunity to talk with Dr. Arthur Whistler, a botanist whose expertise is in the plants of the tropical Pacific islands, including Hawaii, the Polynesian islands, Fiji, and Micronesia. He helped her solidify her decision to work in Samoa. Whistler began his own study with a three-year stint in the Peace Corps studying biology in Western Samoa. He has since published numerous articles and books on the Samoan rainforest and Samoan herbal medicine.

Payton Ouber, ’14

Ouber was unsure what she wanted to do after graduation until Dr. Gloria Everson, Associate Professor of Anthropology, recommended the Peace Corps to her. “I knew I didn’t want to immediately go to graduate school,” Ouber said. “And the length of the deployment was the perfect amount of time.” Ouber will be working with the Peace Corps Youth in Development program in Morocco, one of the first to invite the Peace Corps into its country. Volunteers in this program work with youth on projects to promote engagement and active citizenship on a variety of topics including gender awareness, health and HIV/AIDS education, environmental awareness, and information technology. Ouber said she is considering studying biological anthropology, also known as physical anthropology, in graduate school. Biological anthropology focuses on the biological as well as behavioral variation

among nonhuman and hominin ancestors of the human race.

humans, primates,

Since its founding in 1961 by former President John F. Kennedy, the Peace Corps has sent more than 215,000 volunteers to 139 countries around the world in an effort to promote world peace and global understanding among different cultures. Both Thomason and Ouber will participate in an intensive training program when they first arrive at their assignments to learn the local language, history, and etiquette while living with a host family native to the region where they will be working. They also agreed that they could see taking on future deployments in the Peace Corps or even potentially making a career with the organization.

Couple expresses gratitude to college through giving

By Hannah Keller, Communications Specialist Often the connections you make in college are just as important as the information you learn in the classroom. That was the case for 2005 graduates Matt and Melanie Buchanan. The couple not only found their future spouse in each other at Lyon, but they also made friendships that helped them into their careers soon after graduation. Matt, a commercial lender at U.S. Bank in Little Rock, made the connection with the bank through a fraternity brother who worked there. Melanie is teaching art classes at Little Rock Christian Academy. She was hired after the assistant principal, also a Lyon graduate, got her name from the career counseling office on campus. “He called career counseling asking about students that might be interested in teaching and was given my name. He called me up out of the blue and asked me to come in for an interview. He’d never even met me,” Melanie said. The Buchanans have lived in Little Rock for almost 10 years now and have two daughters. They maintain their connection to Lyon through the President’s Council and the Alumni Council. They also began giving back to the College soon after they graduated.

“We got into the habit of giving from the very beginning. We made a donation the first year after we graduated, and we’ve given every year since,” Melanie said. The Buchanans agreed that a donation doesn’t have to be large in size to make a significant impact. “That first donation wasn’t much,” Matt said, “but it doesn’t have to be $1,000. It could be $25 or $50. Start small and get in the habit, and that goes for charitable giving in general. As graduates, we have a stake in the College, and we have a responsibility and privilege to improve the institution we’re invested in.” Melanie, like many of Lyon’s students, would not have been able to attend without scholarships she received that were funded by donor support. “I think it’s important to express our gratitude and give that opportunity to someone else. It’s an attitude of gratefulness and passing that on. An easy way is to buy a ticket to the Black Tie Blue Jeans Ball. You help the College and get to enjoy a great evening. If you skip one meal out to eat, there’s your $50 that you can donate. You can find a way to make it work if it’s something you really want to do,” she said. Winter 2015

Alumni giving by class year A number of Lyon alumni give generously every year. Many external funding agencies interpret this Alumni Participation Rate (APR) as a tangible measure of alumni satisfaction. In other words, every donor, not just every

dollar, counts! For example, your contribution will help raise Lyon’s APR, which in turn may convince a foundation that Lyon is worthy of its support also; your $10 now may be just the vote of confidence needed to secure a multi-million dollar request from a foundation in the near future. Consistent annual giving, even if it is $10 each year, helps your Alma Mater by demonstrating to other potential funders that you care about her future. For more information about how you can strengthen Lyon’s reputation by showing your financial support, please contact Gina Garrett, Executive Director of Advancement, at (870) 307-7557. 1935 The Estate of Dr. Virginia Rutherford Mr. Larry Sloan 1938 The late Dr. William Carl Garner The late Dr. Charles Taylor 1942 Mrs. Marie (Carpenter) Erwin Mrs. Charlotte (Agee) Ray The late Mr. James “GG” Rutherford Jr. Ms. Annie Ray Shell 1943 Ms. Margaret Shell 1944 Mr. Robert Stroud Sr. 1945 Dr. Robert “Lit“ Craig Mrs. Frances (Spooner) Goodson 1946 Mrs. Polly (Lenehan) Bell 1947 Mr. James Barnett Mrs. Ruby (Barr) Faught Mrs. Emma Lou (Jones) Hedden Mrs. Frances (Holloway) Williams 1948 Mrs. Mary (Sanders) Haley Mrs. Betty Jo (Lenehan) Hall Mrs. Urba (Carpenter) Reed Mrs. Katherine (Denison) Tripp 1949 Dr. John Bearden Mrs. Patsy (Chamberlin) Craig
