Gardner-Webb has seen 13 of its former players go on to sign free agent contracts or be drafted by National Football League teams. Former Bulldog Gabe Wilkins (pictured) won a Super Bowl with Green Bay in 1996, then signed a lucrative, four-year, $21 million contract with San Francisco in 1998. GWU has seen six players sign or be drafted since 2003, including 2007 draft pick Brian Johnston (Kansas City Chiefs).

Gardner-Webb has several coaching ties to the NFL as well. Former lineman Jim Washburn (above) is heralded as one of the league’s top defensive line coaches, and is in his first season with the Detroit Lions. Current GardnerWebb offensive line coach Kenny Ray (left) completed an internship with the Detroit Lions during 2013 training camp – before returning to the Runnin’ Bulldogs in time for August practice.

Gardner-Webb has a strong history of sending its top senior prospects to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional postseason All-Star games, including the traditionally strong EastWest Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl. GWU defensive end Brian Johnston (pictured), a 2008 draft pick of the Kansas City Chiefs, was outstanding during his appearance in the 2007 Hula Bowl in Hawaii, collecting a pair of sacks in leading his team to a win.

• Gardner-Webb has improved consistently in the classroom, and 2013 preseason All-America long snapper/tight end Hudson Smith (left) spoke at Gardner-Webb’s December, 2012, graduation. Smith is currently enrolled in Gardner-Webb’s MBA program and is president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). • Guard Jamie Dunaway (inset), a May, 2013, graduate, was named to the FCS ADA Academic All-Star Team for the second time following the 2012 season. Dunaway was also a postseason FCS All-America selection, played in the FCS Senior Scout Bowl and was a three-time Alll-Big South selection.

CARROLL McCRAY Head Coach Gardner-Webb ‘83 First Season DID YOU KNOW Carroll McCray is the first Gardner-Webb Alum To coach football at the school since Woody Fish (1984-1996)

Gardner-Webb University alumnus Carroll McCray (Class of ‘83) is in his first year as head football coach of the Runnin’ Bulldogs, assuming his post in January, 2013, before leading his new team through spring practice. McCray spent the 2012 season as the head coach at North Greenville University. He has previous stops as associate head coach at Mercer and as head coach at Austin Peay. As an assistant, McCray has an outstanding track record with stops at Furman, Mississippi State, Samford, South Carolina and Appalachian State. McCray is an ordained Baptist deacon and member of Taylors First Baptist Church in Taylors, South Carolina. McCray is the ninth head coach in Gardner-Webb’s senior college history. He is the first alumnus to serve as head coach since Woody Fish did so from 1984-1996. McCray returns to his alma mater after one season as the head coach at NCAA Division II North Greenville University. Despite inheriting a team that returned just 11 starters, McCray molded the Crusaders into a competitive program by season’s end. North Greenville won five of its final six games in 2012, including victories over South Atlantic Conference members Newberry, Brevard, Catawba and Wingate. McCray got his start in coaching at Appalachian State in 1984, serving under Coach Sparky Woods as a graduate assistant coach working with tight ends and tackles. After earning his master’s degree in 1985, McCray began a full-time stint under Woods, helping the Mountaineers to their first Southern Conference title in 32 years in 1986. In three seasons coaching the team’s outside linebackers, McCray saw Appalachian State post a 38-19-2 record, two SoCon titles and two top-10 finishes in the I-AA national polls. The Mountaineers also made playoff appearances in 1986 and 1987 with a combined 20-5-1 record. McCray followed Woods to the University of South Carolina, coaching the Gamecocks offensive line, tight ends and H-Backs from 1989-1993. While in Columbia, McCray tutored future first-round draft pick Earnest Dye, and was part of a staff that helped the program transition to the Southeastern Conference. Dye became the program’s first All-SEC selection before being selected with the18th overall pick in the 1993 draft by the Cardinals. McCray pupils Calvin Stephens (Patriots, 1991), Corey Louchiey (Bills, 1994) and James Dexter (Cardinals, 1996) also went on to be drafted.

Following his time at South Carolina, McCray coached the offensive line at Samford from 1994-2000, helping the Bulldogs to winning records five times in his seven seasons with the program. In 2000, Samford rushed for a school-record 3,439 yards and 41 touchdowns. Offensive tackle Phillip Duplantis earned first-team Division I-AA All-Independents honors under McCray’s guidance in 1999. Tight end Aaron Bryant went on to sign a free agent contract with the Tennessee Titans in 1999. He worked under legendary head coach Jackie Sherrill for two seasons at Mississippi State (2001-2002), with center Tommy Watson signing a free agent contract with the NFL’s Tennessee Titans in 2002 and tackle David Stewart drafted once his career in Starkville concluded in 2005. McCray earned his first head coaching job in 2003, serving as head coach at Austin Peay from 2003-2006. McCray took over a non-scholarship program in Clarksville, Tenn., and was charged with directing the Governors from the Pioneer League back to the Ohio Valley Conference. During his tenure, 13 Governors earned All-Pioneer League honors and eight were named Academic All-America. He coached the offensive line at Furman from 2007-2010, tutoring five All-SoCon selections for the Paladins – including 2008 Jacobs Blocking Trophy winner Joel Bell. Bell earned All-America honors that same season and signed a free agent contract with the Buffalo Bills. The Paladins posted winning records in three of McCray’s seasons on staff. Guard Ryan Lee went on to sign a free agent contract with the Steelers in 2012. McCray spent one season as Associate Head Coach at Mercer University, assisting head coach Bobby Lamb in starting a new Division I FCS non-scholarship program in Macon, Ga. He was named head coach at North Greenville on January 15, 2012. The Monroe, N.C., native was a three-year letterwinner on the offensive line at Gardner-Webb under Coach Tom Moore, teaming with future Hall of Famers Cameron Brooks, Charlie Harbison, Chip Stuart and Ralph Warthen in the early 1980s. As a senior in 1982, McCray and the Runnin’ Bulldogs stormed their way to a 7-3 record – tying the program record to that point for senior college wins and posting the team’s first winning ledger since 1977. McCray graduated in 1983 with a degree in social science. He and his wife Angel, also a graduate of Gardner-Webb, have two children – Trey and Meredith.

A former college center himself at Southern Miss, Ray comes to Boiling Springs from North Greenville (S.C.) University, where he served as Offensive Coordinator in 2011. Ray recently partipated in the 2013 Bill Walsh Minority Coaching Fellowship Program, interning during preseason camp with the Detroit Lions in late July. During his season with North Greenville, Ray helped mold the Crusaders into a successful group by season’s end with five wins over the last six games – and four wins in a row to close out the campaign. The Crusaders knocked off a quartet of South Atlantic Conference programs in Wingate, Newberry, Brevard and Catawba. Prior to his time in Tigerville, S.C., Ray coached one season at FCS member Tennessee State, mentoring the Tigers’ offensive tackles and tight ends. Tennessee State won four more league games in the OVC than the previous season, and ranked in the top-35 nationally in four major offensive categories as a team. During his time as a college coach, Ray has heavy Division I FCS experience with 12 seasons combined at Division I FCS programs at Tennessee State, Howard, Alabama State, North Carolina A&T and Samford. He also coached in the Football Bowl Subdivision ranks from 1999-2003 at Louisiana-Monroe. Ray spent time as Offensive Coordinator at North Carolina A&T and his line cleared a path for running back Michael Ferguson to finish his career with 2,524 yards and 27 touchdowns – including a 1,000-yard season in 2007. Ferguson finished his career as the sixth-leading rusher in school history. Ray’s first taste of coordinator duties came at NAIA Graceland in Iowa, where he served from 2004-2006. During his time calling plays for the Yellow Jackets the team posted a 17-5 overall record and made the NAIA Playoffs in 2005. The program’s 2005 Heartland of America Athletic Conference title was its first since 1975, and the playoff appearance was the first in school history on the gridiron. Offensive lineman Rufus Williams earned second-team NAIA All-America honors in 2005 – while quarterback Clayton Braddock and receiver Anthony Ferguson earned honorable mention All-America honors. Williams, Braddock and Ferguson led a group of seven All-Conference selections for the Yellow Jacket offense in 2005. The Yellow Jackets averaged a healthy 430.3 yards of total offense per game to rank No. 8 nationally and ranked in the top-10 nationally in fewest sacks allowed (0.8 per game), pass efficiency (146.20 rating) and third down conversions (44.3 percent). Graceland also excelled offensively in 2004, ranking No. 2 nationally with 456.4 yards per game and No. 9 with 32.9 points per contest. Ray started his coaching career at Samford, where he coached tight ends on the same staff that featured current Gardner-Webb head coach Carroll McCray. As a player, Ray was a letterwinner from 1992-1994 at Southern Miss, where he helped the Golden Eagles to a pair of winning seasons. Southern Miss defeated LSU, 20-18, on the road in Ray’s final college game in 1994. During his time at Southern Miss, Ray was a teammate of future NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre. Ray graduated from the Hattiesburg, Miss., school with a degree in business administration in 1995. He and is wife, the former Kashanda Smith, have two sons – Keenan and Kendall. Ray is a native of Birmingham, Ala., and is the son of a high school coach.

RANDALL McCRAY Defensive Coordinator / OLB Appalachian State ‘91 First Season

Randall McCray enters his first season as Defensive Coordinator and outside linebackers coach at Gardner-Webb University. The veteran defensive coach brings elite level experience at the Division I level to Boiling Springs, having served more than 20 years in the college ranks and gaining valuable experience coaching each area on the defensive side of the football. McCray coached outside linebackers and was special teams coordinator at the University of Pittsburgh in his last stop. The Panthers posted six wins and played in the BBVA Compass Bowl that season. Kicker Kevin Harper ranked No. 11 nationally with 1.62 field goals per game. In 2010, McCray served as defensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee State, and his Blue Raiders excelled at pressuring opponents. MTSU ranked No. 10 nationally in tackles for loss and No. 17 in sacks to help the team win six games overall – including five in league play to finish third in the final Sun Belt standings. That finish earned MTSU a spot in the GoDaddy.com Bowl in January. The Blue Raiders ranked No. 2 in the Sun Belt in scoring defense, passing yards allowed and pass efficiency defense – while pacing the circuit in tackles for loss. Senior defensive lineman Jamari Lattimore earned 2010 Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year honors and later signed a free agent deal with the Green Bay Packers. Lattimore saw action in 14 games with the Packers in his second season (2012) in the league. Defensive backs Rod Issac and Jeremy Kellem also earned first-team All-Sun Belt honors in 2010 and defensive lineman Dwight Smith earned honorable mention honors. Issac was drafted in the fifth round (147th pick) of the 2011 NFL Draft by Jacksonville. Prior to his stint in Murfreesboro, McCray spent four seasons in the Big Ten at league power Wisconsin. While in Madison, McCray coached the defensive line for two seasons (2006-2007), served as recruiting coordinator and outside linebackers coach in 2008 and coached safeties in 2009. The Badgers class of signees during the year McCray was in charge of recruiting included 2012 Doak Walker Award winner and two-time All-America running back Montee Ball – who finished as the NCAA’s career touchdown leader (83), first-team All-Big Ten center Travis Frederick and All-Big Ten linebacker Chris Borland. Frederick is the second-rated center prospect for the 2013 draft by CBS Sports and Ball is rated as the No. 4 running back by the same service. Both are projected to go in the top-3 rounds of the draft. The Badgers appeared in four bowl games in those four seasons – beating Arkansas in the Capital One Bowl to cap a 12-1 season in 2006 and beating Miami in the 2009 Champs Sports Bowl. During his four seasons in Madison, McCray helped the Badgers to 38 wins. During McCray’s first season with Wisconsin, the Badgers defense ranked No. 2 nationally in scoring defense and finished fifth nationally in total defense. Two of his linemen – Matt Shaughnessy and Jason Chapman – earned All-Big Ten accolades. Three linemen earned postseason honors in 2007, with Shaughnessy and Nick Hayden earning All-Big Ten selections and Kirk DeCreamer earning a spot on the Freshman All-America squad. Linebackers DeAndre Levy and Jonathan Casillas each earned All-Big Ten honors in 2008 under McCray’s guidance and safeties Jay Valai and Chris Maragos captured AllConference honors in 2009. Wisconsin’s defense held every Big Ten opponent it faced to less than 100 yards rushing in 2009. Six McCray pupils went on to play in the NFL from his time in Wisconsin – Shaughnessy (Oakland Raiders), Levy (Detroit Lions), Hayden (Carolina Panthers), Casillas (New Orleans Saints) and Maragos (Seattle Seahawks) and O’Brien Schofield (Arizona Cardinals). Shaughnessy was a second round pick in 2009, Levy was a third round pick in 2009 and Schofield was a fourth round pick in 2010. McCray served as defensive line coach and linebackers coach at Toledo from 2003-2005 and had a brief stint at Rice. In 2005, McCray’s defensive front helped the Rockets to a 9-3 record and a MAC West Division Co-Championship. Toledo went on to a 45-13 win over UTEP in the GMAC Bowl and finished ranked No. 21 nationally in total defense. The Rockets led the MAC in scoring defense, total defense, pass efficiency defense and sacks – and were second in the league in rushing defense.

Nichols inherits one of the Big South Conference’s top aerial attacks, with redshirt juniors Lucas Beatty (quarterback), Kenny Cook (receiver), Seth Cranfill (tight end) and Deonte Swinton (receiver) each returning after combining to power the Runnin’ Bulldogs through the air last season. Beatty led the league in passing yardage per game during the regular season, and the trio of Cook, Cranfill and Swinton combined to catch 126 of Beatty’s passes and nine of his 12 touchdowns. Nichols spent the 2012 season in the same role at North Greenville University, where he helped the Crusaders post wins in five of their final six games – with four of those wins coming against members of the South Atlantic Conference. Nichols’ top-2 quarterbacks each completed better than 58 percent of their passes in 2012, despite never having seen college game action before the season. Nichols spent the 2011 season tutoring receivers and tight ends at Division II Brevard (N.C.) College and saw Eric Watts earn All-SAC honors with 33 catches for 533 yards and eight scores in an option-oriented offensive system. Nichols also spent three seasons coaching receivers and quarterbacks at Hillcrest (S.C.) High and spent the 2007 season as an offensive intern at Furman. The Paladins posted a 6-5 record during Nichols’ time with the program, and topped the 40-point mark four times – including three games with 50 or more points scored. Furman averaged 31.6 points and 407.8 yards of total offense per game in 2007. Dual-threat quarterback Renaldo Gray passed for 1,792 yards and ran for 497 more while accounting for 22 touchdowns.

TRAVIS CUNNINGHAM RECRUITING COORDINATOR / ILB GARDNER-WEBB ‘03 12th SEASON

Former Bulldog linebacker Travis Cunningham is in his 12th season on the Gardner-Webb coaching staff, and will coach the team’s inside linebackers, as well as returning to his role as recruiting coordinator. Cunningham has a strong history of coaching linebackers at Gardner-Webb, molding the group into one of the nation’s best during his time in Boiling Springs. Marty Patterson earned preseason All-America honors in 2010, and Jeffery Williams and Mario Brown earning spots on several All-America teams leading a strong charge by the Gardner-Webb defense in the process. Tanner Burch was named preseason All-America by two different organizations heading into the 2013 season. Burch earned FCS All-America honors in 2012 from College Sports Madness after leading the Big South Conference and ranking second nationally with 12.6 tackles per game (113 total hits).

During Cunningham’s time in Boiling Springs, he has coached seven of the program’s top-20 career tacklers for at least one season. A total of 19 players have earned All-Conference honors under Cunningham’s watch and six have been named to a postseason All-America team. Two players, Mario Brown in 2008 and Jeffery Williams in 2009, were named to the Buck Buchanan Award Watch List. A young, organized coach with a sound understanding of the game, Cunningham has served his alma mater well. In 2005, he coached the GWU safeties, mentoring All-Big South Conference selection Daniel Cooke, who led the Bulldogs with 99 tackles and four interceptions. Cunningham also coached the team’s linebackers in 2003 and 2004, and spent the 2001-2002 seasons as a student assistant linebackers’ coach when GWU utilized a four-linebacker scheme. During his time with the Bulldog inside linebackers, Cunningham saw Keppy Baucom earn All-Big South honors three times in as many seasons, with Baucom leading the 2004 Bulldogs with 90 total tackles. His 2003 unit, spearheaded by Baucom, Jonathan Little, Adam Wagner and J.P. Weaver, developed into one of the region’s most consistent and effective groups. Under Cunningham’s guidance in 2002, Baucom earned first-team All-Big South honors and was named Big South Freshman of the Year after leading the league’s rookies with 75 total tackles. Cunningham, a native of Knoxville, Tenn., played two seasons at Gardner-Webb, making his mark as a long snapper and as a hard-nosed special teams coverage man. Prior to enrolling at Gardner-Webb, Cunningham was a standout in football and baseball at Powell (Tenn.) High in Knoxville.

Brett Hickman joins the Gardner-Webb football program after spending the previous four seasons building North Greenville University into one of the region’s strongest Division II programs. He will coach Running Backs in 2012 for the Runnin’ Bulldogs and will also coordinate Gardner-Webb’s special teams, an area he has excelled in during his career on the college level. Hickman spent the 2012 season as North Greenville’s co-Defensive Coordinator and coached the team’s linebackers. That group accounted for four of the team’s top-6 tacklers, with Nick Rodgers pacing the Crusaders with 75 total hits. A.J. Jones (67 tackles), Jonathan Sharpe (53 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss) and Braelen Meredith (52 tackles, 13 TFL, 6.5 sacks) helped North Greenville win five of its final six games and keyed a defense that allowed its opponents to convert just 29 percent on third down –- which ranked No. 7 nationally in NCAA Division II. In 2011, Hickman served as Special Teams Coordinator and coached inside linebackers. The Crusaders posted the best season in school history in 2011, going 11-3, earning an at-large berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs and advancing all the way to the quarterfinals before dropping a tight contest to traditional national power Delta State (Miss.). North Greenville’s defense allowed just 19.1 points and 309.6 yards per game in 2011. The Crusaders ranked among the national leaders in scoring defense (No. 18), total defense (No. 31), rushing defense (No. 37) and pass efficiency defense (No. 19). Hickman’s special teams played a major role in the team’s success, ranking No. 19 nationally in punt returns (14.1 yards per attempt) and leading NCAA Division II in punt coverage. The Crusaders had three punt returns of 40 yards or more and three special teams touchdowns in the final six games of the season – including a punt return and kick return score in the playoff win over Albany State.

Hickman worked with both linebackers and defensive backs, and gained experience coaching the Pirates’ offensive scout teams. During his time in Greenville, N.C., the Pirates played in three bowl games and won the 2008 Conference USA title. Hickman graduated from East Carolina with a degree in history in 2009. He is married to the former Sara Veale of Cary, N.C. Hickman’s father, Yogi Hickman, was a longtime successful football coach on the prep level at St. Paul’s (N.C.) High and West Brunswick (N.C.) High near the coast. The elder Hickman won nearly 80 percent of his games and racked up 10 league titles during his career.

LA’DONTE HARRIS RECEIVERS / TIGHT ENDS COACH CLEMSON ‘08 First Season

La’Donte Harris is in his first season as an assistant coach at Gardner-Webb, and will coach the team’s receivers and tight ends – one of the strongest groups in the Big South Conference heading into the 2013 season, with All-Conference performers Kenny Cook, Seth Cranfill and Hudson Smith along with several seasoned veterans. Harris spent the 2012 season at North Greenville University, where he served in the same role he will have in Boiling Springs. The Crusaders won five of their final six games, with four wins over members of the South Atlantic Conference, and Harris’ receivers played a big role in the team’s late success. Receivers Freddie Martino and Taylor Malphrus each had 40-plus yard touchdown receptions in wins over Wingate and Brevard, respectively, and Malphrus had a pair of scoring runs in wins over Newberry and Wingate. Martino caught a team-high 49 passes on the season and Malphrus accounted for six touchdowns – including five on the ground. Prior to his arrival in Tigerville, S.C., Harris spent the 2011 campaign on the player development staff at Clemson under longtime strength & conditioning coach Joey Batson. Harris worked with the Tigers’ offense from a strength and conditioning standpoint, and his time paid off – as Clemson experienced outstanding success. The Tigers earned a berth in the ACC Championship Game and, following a dominant, 38-10 win over Virginia Tech, had the program’s first ACC crown since 1991 and an automatic berth in the Orange Bowl – the school’s first such berth since the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) inception. It was the Tigers’ first major bowl appearance since the historic 1982 Orange Bowl.

The unit Mooring will lead is bolstered by seniors Preston Pemasa and Matt Goods – each former Big South Conference Freshman of the Year honorees and perennial All-Conference performers. Mooring joins the Runnin’ Bulldogs after spending the 2012 season at Division II North Greenville University in charge of the Crusaders defensive line. North Greenville won five of its final six games in 2012 and collected 23 sacks and 76 tackles for loss on the season. Defensive linemen Michael Klein and Stefan Bynoe led the charge up front, combining for 11 of those sacks and 23 tackles for loss. Klein had 65 total hits and four sacks, while Bynoe made 58 stops, 14.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks. The Crusaders allowed opponents to convert just 29 percent on third down (37-of-127). Mooring also participated in the prestigious 2012 NFL/NCAA Coaches Academy in Dallas, Texas. Prior to joining Coach Carroll McCray’s staff in Tigerville, Mooring coached at Division III North Carolina Wesleyan from 2007-2011. He spent two seasons coaching the Bishops’ defensive front, before serving as offensive line coach from 2009-2011. During his time with North Carolina Wesleyan, Mooring was a part of two conference titles – 2007 and 2009 – and a pair of appearances in the NCAA Division III playoffs. The Bishops went 9-3 overall and 7-0 in the USA South Conference in 2007, and went 8-3 overall and 7-0 in the league in 2009. Quinderra Spellman and LeRon Boykin each earned first-team All-USA South honors in 2007 and 2008 on the defensive line and Kevin Burant earned honorable mention honors in 2007. Boykin earned All-Region and honorable mention All-America honors in 2007 and went on to earn Conference Player of the Year honorable mention All-America honors in 2009. Offensive linemen Carmeron Deaver, Anthony Moore and Asmun Washington were first-team All-USA South in 2009 – clearing a path for a league-best 36.5 points and 454.5 yards per game. Washington was a repeat All-Conference choice in 2010 and Josh Rogers earned a spot on the second team. The Bishops again led the league in scoring offense and total offense, posting over 400 yards per game. Sam Herring earned second-team All-Conference honors on offense in 2011. A versatile defender on the college level, Mooring played at the University of North Carolina under Carl Torbush and John Bunting. He was a four-year letterwinner and two-year starter on the defensive front. He saw action alongside future NFL Hall of Famer Julius Peppers and first-round pick Ryan Sims during his early years, helping the Tar Heels to a Peach Bowl win over Auburn and a decisive, 41-9, home win over No. 6 Florida State during an 8-5 season. The Florida State win was the first five in a row for the Tar Heels, who won eight of 10 to close the season. Two of the team’s five losses were to No. 3 Oklahoma and No. 4 Texas on the road. Mooring played in all 13 games for the Tar Heels that season, collecting 21 total tackles and two sacks as the team’s top reserve at defensive end. The Tarboro, N.C., native saw action in 25 games over his first two seasons and earned a starting nod in 2002 as a junior. Mooring was one of the Tar Heels’ top defensive linemen as a junior and senior. He graduated from North Carolina in 2003 with a degree in communications. Mooring starred at Tarboro (N.C.) High, earning All-County, All-Conference and All-Area honors as a senior under Coach Mike Schott. He helped the Vikings to a 12-4 record as a senior and a berth in the Class 2A State Championship Game. A two-way lineman, Mooring helped Tarboro rush for an eye-popping 5,300 yards on offense, and collected 147 total tackles on defense. Mooring and his wife, Quanza, have four children – Sydnei, Trey, C.J. and Isaiah.

DR. A. FRANK BONNER

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. Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 eighteenthcentury 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.

CHUCK BURCH

Gardner-Webb alumnus Chuck Burch is in his 17th year as Vice President for Athletics and his 30th year in athletics administration. The Charlotte, N.C., native spearheaded the Bulldogs move into Division I athletics, which resulted in Gardner-Webb’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, will begin play in 2014-2015. Men's swimming was added in 2007-08. 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 six 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 Bulldogs' student-athletes. GWU enjoyed its most successful athletics year as a Division I member in 2006-07. Gardner-Webb won its first Atlantic Sun Conference Academic Championship, unseating Belmont University for the title. The 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 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 19911997 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, a 2012 graduate of Brevard College; and Amy, a sophomore soccer player at High Point University.
