UNIVERSITY Gardner-Webb’s journey from a boarding high school to a thriving regional University is marked by remarkable growth, great determination, and unyielding perseverance. In 1903, the Kings Mountain and Sandy Run Baptist Associations conceived a vision of an institution of learning where young students would enjoy “the best possible educational advantages under distinctive Christian influence.” On December 2, 1905, the Boiling Springs High School, Gardner-Webb’s predecessor, was chartered. Even today, the University’s relationship with area churches is still strong. The institution was transformed into a junior college in 1928, and only survived the catastrophic Great Depression through God’s providential grace and the tireless efforts of numerous trustees and local champions of Christian education. Then in 1942, North Carolina Governor and Shelby native O. Max Gardner began devoting time and energy toward strengthening and guiding the College. In recognition of his efforts, those of his wife, Fay Webb Gardner, and their families, the school’s name was changed to GardnerWebb College. After World War II, the College experienced steady physical growth and academic development. New buildings sprang up, enrollments increased, and by the end of the 1960s, the College was ready to transition to a four-year institution. In 1971, Gardner-Webb earned its full accreditation as a senior college, and nine years later it began offering its first master’s degree in education.

ACADEMIC Perhaps there is no greater time to observe the academic quality of Gardner-Webb University than right now. All of the necessary factors for academic excellence – faculty, students, resources, curriculum – are working in conjunction with one another to gain widespread acclaim from alumni, friends, trustees, the media and the community. Over 140 full-time faculty members comprise a group of educators at GWU being heralded as the "premiere class of instructors ever assembled at the University." Over 80 percent of the faculty hold a Ph.D. or equivalent, and many boast of well-documented activities in the business and professional worlds. With a student-to-faculty ratio of 13 to 1, Gardner-Webb is able to provide personal instruction to its students, who now number over 4,900, making Gardner-Webb the fifth-largest private institution in North Carolina. New technological features in our library enhance the learning experience for a higher quality student.

GARDNER-WEBB DR. A. FRANK BONNER

PRESIDENT FURMAN, 1969 11TH YEAR

Born in Durham, North Carolina, Dr. A. Frank Bonner grew up in Greenville, South Carolina. The son of Francis Wesley Bonner (deceased) and Nilaouise Carnes Bonner, he was raised in a college environment, almost literally in the shadows of the campus of Furman University (Greenville, S.C). His father retired from Furman as Vice President and Provost, having served Furman for over thirty years as professor and, eventually, as chief academic officer. Bonner’s parents instilled in him the values he still holds dear. To this day, his father is his model for everything that a teacher, academic leader, and university administrator should be. Bonner graduated in 1969 from Furman with a B.A. degree in English. Coincidentally, his major professor was Dr. Phil L. Elliott, son of the legendary president of Gardner-Webb from 1943 until 1961, Phillip Lovin Elliott. After Furman, Bonner earned the M.A. from the University of Georgia in 1971, and the Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1977. His specialty is Victorian literature, primarily the poetry of Alfred Tennyson, and eighteenth-century British literature, with a special interest in Jonathan Swift. In 1974, Bonner began his academic career as a faculty member at Anderson University in Anderson, South Carolina. He was particularly active in civic life in Anderson, most notably as chairman of the Board of Trustees for Anderson County School District Five. Bonner was assigned various administrative responsibilities at Anderson and, immediately prior to coming to Gardner-Webb, was Associate Dean for Special Programs. In 1987, Bonner came to Gardner-Webb as Vice President for Academic Affairs. His role later evolved into Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs and then Provost and Senior Vice President. He was named President in May 2005 and took office on July 1. Bonner has been heavily involved in accreditation work through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), serving on more than thirty accreditation committees, most of those as the committee chair. He is a member of the SACSCOC Board of Trustees and serves on the Compliance and Reports Committee. He has also served on the nominating committee for the Commission on Colleges and has chaired four NCAA Division I Recertification visiting committees. Bonner is currently Vice President of the Big South Conference, Chair of the Board of Directors of the International Association of Baptist Colleges and Universities, and a member of the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities. While at Gardner-Webb, Bonner has remained active in civic affairs, currently serving on the Board of Directors for the Boy Scouts of America Piedmont Council. He is a past chair of the Cleveland County Chamber, a Rotary past President, a Paul Harris Fellow, and he has been a board member for numerous organizations. He is a member of First Baptist Church, Shelby, where he teaches Sunday School and serves as a Deacon. After twenty-two years in the United States Army Reserve, Bonner retired at the rank of Colonel. Bonner is married to Florence Dell (Flossie) Black of Chester, South Carolina, also a Furman graduate. She is a retired high school mathematics teacher. They have two daughters, Alison Bonner Dalton of Charlotte, North Carolina, and Florence Bonner Crawford of Fort Myers, Florida. The Bonners have six grandchildren.

ADMINISTRATION CHUCK BURCH

V I C E P R E S I D E N T F O R AT H L E T I C S GARDNER-WEBB, 1979 19TH YEAR

Gardner-Webb alumnus Chuck Burch is in his 19th year as Vice President for Athletics and his 32nd year in athletics administration. The Charlotte, N.C., native spearheaded the Runnin’ Bulldogs move into Division I athletics, which resulted in GardnerWebb’s addition to the Big South Conference as an associate member for football in 2001, and GWU’s move to the Big South as a full member – which became official on July 1, 2008. Burch oversees all athletic operations at Gardner-Webb, including management and supervision of athletic programs, facilities and budgets. During his career at GWU, Burch has overseen across-the-board improvements in athletics facilities and the addition of seven new sports since arriving in 1997. The most recent addition, women’s lacrosse, began play in 2014-2015. Burch is also responsible for continued improvements in the quality and quantity of Gardner-Webb’s athletics staff – with a number of full-time positions created to assist and enhance the entire department. GWU athletics has seen a steady increase in academic performance since Burch’s arrival, and the department has posted a combined GPA above 3.0 in each of the last seven academic years. In 2009-2010, Gardner-Webb posted its highest finish in the annual Big South Conference Sasser Cup, taking No. 4 in the final standings of the all-sports race. The women’s basketball team captured its first Big South Tournament title, advancing to the first round of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship Tournament. Two other teams – women’s soccer and baseball – advanced to the league tournament title game in their respective seasons as well. Gardner-Webb’s final year in the Atlantic Sun Conference was fruitful, with several notable wins and the usual high number of strong academic performances by the Runnin’ Bulldogs’ student-athletes. GWU enjoyed its most successful athletics year as a Division I member in 2006-2007. Gardner-Webb won its first Atlantic Sun Conference Academic Championship, unseating Belmont University for the title. The Runnin’ Bulldogs also finished third in the men’s and women’s combined sports standings – a very impressive effort in the race for the inaugural Bill Bibb Trophy. Gardner-Webb’s men’s soccer team captured the imagination of fans across Cleveland County during its run to the 2006 A-Sun Championship and NCAA Tournament second round. National qualifiers in Track & Field, swimming and wrestling highlighted competitive success for the Runnin’ Bulldogs in 2006-2007. Burch, a graduate of Independence (N.C.) High in Charlotte, and former member of Gardner-Webb’s football and tennis teams, spent 1991-1997 as Director of Athletics at Liberty (Va.) University, and was instrumental in a successful and well run department in Lynchburg as well. He also served Liberty as Associate Director of Athletics (1988-1990), Assistant Director of Athletics (1984-1988), Sports Information Director (1986-1988) and Assistant Director of Sports Information (1982-1984). After graduating from Gardner-Webb in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in Social Science, Burch, 55, earned his master’s degree from Eastern Kentucky University in 1982. His wife, Franki, holds a Ph.D. in Health Education from the University of Virginia, and is Associate Provost for Professional and Graduate Studies at Gardner-Webb. The couple has three children, Travis, Danielle and Amy.

ATHLETIC An integral part of the entire Gardner-Webb University athletics program, the Athletic Training Program emphasizes the importance of wellness in the teams’ pursuit of success. Under the supervision of Kevin Jones, ATC, and the rest of the Athletic Training faculty and staff, athletic training students complete part of their clinical education with the University’s 21 varsity sports. Jones and his staff work toward the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. The athletic training students at GWU are fortunate to have a faculty and staff of nine certified athletic trainers and a cooperative intercollegiate athletics staff to enhance their learning experience. The clinical education that is conducted while serving the student-athletes at GardnerWebb University allows for comprehensive medical care in a learning environment. The athletic training educational program recently completed its full accreditation by CAATE, marking an exciting moment in the program’s history. Athletic training students are able to pursue a B.S. in Athletic Training through the Department of Physical Education and Sport Studies. Upon graduation, athletic training students must complete a three-part examination conducted by the National Athletic Trainer’s Association’s Board of Certification to become Certified Athletic Trainers (ATC). One of the most respected academic majors on campus, the Gardner-Webb Athletic Training educational program boasts a growing enrollment and provides students with first-class instruction and practical experience in their chosen field of study. Currently, GardnerWebb graduates are working with NFL teams, colleges and universities, high schools and physical therapy clinics. After their academic careers at Gardner-Webb, many students also choose to seek graduate assistant positions at colleges and universities around the nation.

Veteran Brian Baker is in his 12th season as Director of Track & Field at Gardner-Webb University and continues to provide a wealth of high-level knowledge and support for the student-athletes under his watch. Baker is in his 14th season overall at Gardner-Webb, having served as the program’s head cross country coach and assistant track coach from 2001-2003. An expert in the distance events, Baker was named 2006 Atlantic Sun Conference Coach of the Year after directing Gardner-Webb to the men’s A-Sun Outdoor Championship that season in Clermont, Fla. The Runnin’ Bulldogs collected 19 All-Conference accolades and won seven individual conference titles that weekend in the Sunshine State, with thrower Cody MacArthur earning Most Outstanding Field Performer honors and hurdler Dobson Collins claiming Most Outstanding Freshman Performer. Baker led the Gardner-Webb women’s squad to a second-place finish in 2006 as well, a balanced effort that saw eight women earn All-Conference honors and one – pole vault standout Kelly Bridges – win an individual league title. It tied the program record for highest finish on the women’s side, set in Gardner-Webb’s first season in the league (2003). That season, Gardner-Webb finished third indoors on both sides in Johnson City, Tenn. It was part of a three-season swing for the GWU men that saw the team finish in the top-3 indoors from 2006-2008. Since 2004, Baker has coached a combined 57 conference champions on the men’s and women’s sides over two leagues – the Atlantic Sun and the Big South – and has done so while maintaining a high degree of academic success as well. A total of 10 student-athletes have erned USTCA/USTFCCCA Academic All-America honors since 2007. On the men’s side, Gardner-Webb has produced a pair of NCAA qualifiers during Baker’s tenure. Pole vaulter Elliott Haynie advanced to the NCAA Division I Indoor National Championships in 2008, finishing 10th in Fayetteville, Ark., with a height of 5.20 meters. Haynie was the first men’s student-athlete to qualify for nationals at any level since 2000. Most recently, throws standout Alex Young advanced to the national stage twice in 2014. The LaVergne, Tenn., standout earned All-America honors at the 2014 NCAA Division I Indoor National Championships in the weight throw and finished 17th in the hammer throw at the NCAA Division I Outdoor National Championships later that season. Numerous individuals have advanced as NCAA Regional qualifiers during Baker’s tenure as well and more than 200 student-athletes have earned All-Conference honors – indoor and outdoor combined – since Baker took over the program. In 2014, freshman Kayin Mujahid earned All-Big South honors indoors for the women’s team and won the conference title in the same event outdoors. Mujahid was joined on the All-Conference team outdoors by Sarah Mitchell (discus), Olivia Moody (heptathlon) and Elise Moffatt (pole vault). Young (weight throw) and Tyler Craig (pole vault) each won individual titles at the 2014 Big South Conference Indoor Championships and were joined on the All-Conference squad by Tyler Marsengill (pole vault) and Terry Davis (triple jump). Young also won the outdoor hammer title and was joined on the All-Conference squad by Craig, Marsengill, Josiah Stanton-Brooks (800m run) and Nathan Padfield (hammer throw). A product of the nation’s most storied Division I track program at the University of Arkansas, Baker is no stranger to success on the track or the cross-country course. He has an expansive knowledge base in the sport – based on coaching experience but also personal running experience at the highest levels of collegiate, professional and international track & field. A 1994 graduate of Arkansas with a degree in kinesiology, Baker was a key cog in the Razorbacks’ domination of NCAA Division I cross country and track in the early 90’s. He ran on Arkansas teams that won national titles in 1990 (Indoor and Cross Country), 1991 (Indoor), 1992 (Cross Country), 1993 (Indoor, Outdoor, and Cross Country), 1994 (Indoor and Outdoor). Twice (1992-93 and 1993-94) the Razorbacks won the NCAA Division I triple crown, with national championships in cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track. In addition to team success, Baker won individual national titles in the Indoor Distance Medley Relay and the Outdoor 5,000-meter run as a senior (1994). Baker was a two-time individual conference cross country champion and 5,000-meter run champion as well, winning one title each in the SWC and the SEC. Arkansas captured 12 total conference championships as a team during Baker’s career, including three SWC titles and nine SEC titles. He was an alternate for the 1996 Olympic Team in the 5,000-meter run and finished ninth in the 3,000-meter run at the 1999 World Indoor Track & Field Championships held in Japan. In 1995, he placed 10th in the 5,000-meter run at the World University Games. Baker is also a former member of the U.S. World Cross Country Team (1996 and 1997) and finished third, receiving a bronze medal at the Pan American Games. In 2001, Baker competed in the Chiba Ekiden relays in Japan. The Batesville (Ark.) High graduate was a threetime prep state champion in cross country and two-time outdoor state champion in the 1,600m run and 3,200m run In June of 2004, Baker was inducted into the Arkansas Track and Field Hall of Fame. Baker was also inducted into the Batesville Area Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010.

EVAN BRUSICH | ASSISTANT COACH

Former student-athlete Evan Brusich is in his first season at Gardner-Webb as an assistant coach for sprints, jumps and combined events. Brusich (Lilburn, Ga. / Parkview HS) graduated from Gardner-Webb in 2011 and spent the past three seasons as a volunteer coach at Baylor University. During his time in Waco, Texas, Brusich assisted with combined events, pole vault and throws – helping Henry Vildasola to a 17th-place finish in the decathlon at the 2014 NCAA Championships and Annie Rhodes to third at USA junior nationals in the pole vault. He also worked with All-America student-athletes Skylar White (discus), Erin Atkinson (weight throw) and Desmine Hilliard (discus) and with All-Big 12 performers Hunter Brook (decathlon), Jenna Pfeiffer (heptathlon) and Jessica Shadley (heptathlon). Brusich earned his master’s degree in sport pedagogy from Baylor in 2012. Brusich enjoyed a successful career during his time with the Runnin’ Bulldogs as a student-athlete. He was a team captain for three seasons and earned All-Big South Conference honors in the decathlon and 4x400m meter relay run. He is the school record holder in the decathlon. The Parkview (Ga.) High graduate helped his high school squad to three consecutive cross country state titles and a third-place finish at the Class 5A state Track & Field meet in 2007. Brusich is engaged to 2011 Gardner-Webb graduate and former Track & Field standout Carrie Long, who is currently a Ph.D candidate in immunology at West Virginia University.

ROB GOLABECK | ASSISTANT COACH

Gardner-Webb Track & Field welcomed Rob Golabek to its coaching staff prior to the start of the 2014-2015 season as assistant coach for throws. The Buffalo, N.Y., native joins the GWU family after spending time as an assistant at Rider University, where started his coaching career. While in Lawrenceville, N.J., Golabek produced impressive results, helping student-athletes to school and conference records. Senior Rhea Phipps qualified for the 2013 NCAA East Preliminary Championships in Jacksonville, Fla., in the hammer throw. Golabek also spent a year traveling across the United States to train with some of the top coaches in the sport, working hard to expand his knowledge base. His expertise should allow for a continuation of an outstanding tradition with the GWU throwing corps. As a student-athlete himself, Golabek enjoyed a successful career at the State University of New York at Buffalo, earning NCAA Division I All-America honors four times in the shot put. Also a multiple champion in the Mid-American Conference (MAC), Golabek qualified for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials, an accomplishment he rates as one of his top memories as a student-athlete. Golabek is a 2012 graduate from The State University of New York at Buffalo. He is engaged to Buffalo Track & Field standout Anna Holmes
