THE FIRST WORD...

Life’s Framing Questions A group of undergraduates recently visited our home for dinner and conversation. At their initiative we talked about life—their lives, of course, but also about my life, and the lives of others.

Our lives are our own, but how do we transform them into lives lived for others as well—perhaps even lives of God’s own choosing and direction?

One of the students remembered comments I made at the fall semester convocation in 2006 when she was a first-year student. On that occasion I had challenged our new students with these words: At birth we are each given a blank book. At the time of our death we present a full and complete novel. We write the story of our lives in this novel one chapter, one page, one line, one word at a time.

I had reminded these new students that at the beginning of their undergraduate studies they were beginning a new chapter in their novels.

One of our responsibilities as educators is to encourage students to consider what they write in the college chapter of their lives. Change will come, but what sort of change?

Will it be subtle or seismic? Who will influence the events of this chapter? What new people will come into their stories? What people from earlier chapters in their lives will we hear more about, and who will drop out altogether? Perhaps most important, how will the events of this chapter frame the rest of the story?

Later that evening, after the students had departed from our home, I finished reading a recent memoir by Donald Hall, the Poet Laureate of the United States during 2006-2007. In Unpacking the Boxes Hall writes, “One’s life begins on so many occasions, constructing itself out of accident derived from coincidence compounded by character.” This is a wonderfully crafted sentence; I only wish I could claim Hall’s command of the English language. He chooses his words carefully and steers the sentence so perfectly. More than this, however, Hall teaches us that life begins anew with each chapter.

In this issue of the North Parker we feature the University’s Campus Theme program—a tradition that brings focused attention to a significant question. This year’s question, “Whose life is it, anyway?” is well worth reflection, by today’s students as well as by each of us.

Two new academic programs at North Park University are helping prepare students for alternate avenues of church leadership and ministry.

Floods resulted after more than seven inches of rain fell within a 24-hour period, forcing the North Branch of the Chicago River over its banks and requiring the evacuation of some 350 homes as well as two North Park University residence halls, Anderson and Burgh. Standing water inside of the utility basement of the Magnuson Campus Center also required the University to temporarily relocate its food service operations and the classes that meet in the building.

“At North Park, we were inconvenienced, but we were not devastated,” says Vice President for Student Development Andrea Nevels, who hopes a spirit of service will be reignited among those who may see this historic flood as yesterday’s news. “It important for us to continue our efforts because people are still suffering.”

The bachelor of music: music in worship (BMMW), developed collaboratively by undergraduate and Seminary faculty, focuses on the dynamic and public role of music ministers, while the graduate certificate in church administration, created by the School of Business and Nonprofit Management, addresses the behindthe-scenes role of church administrators.

Although participants in the music and worship degree program must be proficient vocally or on at least one instrument, Associate Professor of Music Helen Hudgens notes that there are additional requirements for effective worship ministers.

“Churches are expecting a lot more,” she explains. “They expect people to know theology, liturgy, and the church seasons and be able to tie them together.”

Because ministers of worship must also be skilled writers and arrangers, adept at a number of musical languages and ethnic forms, students receive training through

Undergraduate enrollment reaches new heights a variety of courses including Foundation of Worship Arts, Planning for the Arts in Worship/Music, and Congregational Music for the 21st-Century Church. The curriculum incorporates opportunities for students to lead undergraduate and Seminary chapels, and to engage in a supervised internship at a church in the Chicago area.

In contrast, the graduate certificate in church administration is a five-course sequence designed to meet the needs of working professionals, and may even be completed online. A new seven-week course, Principles of Church Administration, began in October and covered the integration of faith and business practices, strategic planning, financial management, leadership, human resource management, and reporting. It also introduced students to the resources available to clergy and church leaders to help promote more effective management.

“Given North Park’s reputation as a national leader in nonprofit management education, we are happy to introduce a certificate specifically designed for administrators working in church and ministry management,” said Wesley Lindahl A’72 C’76, Ph.D., dean of the School of Business and Nonprofit Management.

For church administrators in the Chicago area who wish to finish their bachelor’s degree, North Park’s School of Adult Learning also offers a bachelor’s degree completion program with a major in Church and Ministry Management.

North Park University has again reached record enrollment, reports Mark Olson, dean of enrollment and director of church relations.

The number of undergraduate students grew from 1,854 last year to 1,882, with first-year student enrollment jumping from 375 to 415. The number of new students enrolled in graduate programs also increased over the past year, rising to 720 from 691.

Since the University restructured undergraduate tuition in 2004, enrollment has increased 33 percent.

Admission staff have also begun attending more college fairs. Last year, staff participated in 120, whereas previously, North Park was represented at roughly 40. Plans this year include representation at about 110 fairs.

The effect of the tightening economy on future enrollment is uncertain, adds Olson, but he remains optimistic about the University’s position.

“Historically, education has done well Olson says the University decided to focus on when there is college fairs because an economic traditional ways of Since the University restructured downturn,” contacting students undergraduate tuition in 2004, he says, have become less enrollment has increased 33 percent. explaining that people productive for most continue to invest in their education institutions.

Grant funding boosts programs The Axelson Center for Nonprofit Management was recently awarded a $25,000 grant from The Chicago Community Trust and a $21,500 grant from the John R. Houlsby Foundation to assess the financial health of 300 nonprofit organizations in the Chicago area. The funds are being used to conduct both qualitative and quantitative research across a spectrum of nonprofits of varying size and scope—from community centers, to family service agencies, to community development organizations.

The research is being led by Timothy O’Brien, Ph.D., assistant professor of nonprofit finance at North Park’s School of Business and Nonprofit Management. It includes gathering tax and financial information from each organization, which by law is available on public record, and aggregating that data with interviews among a smaller sampling of the organizations. Results will be presented in the spring of 2009 at the Axelson Center’s 10th Annual Symposium.

“We are delighted to engage in partnership with The Chicago Community Trust and the Houlsby Foundation for this very important research project,” said Pier Rogers, Ph.D., 4

director of the Axelson Center. “We look forward to the results and anticipate that they will identify strategies to improve the financial health of Chicago’s human service organizations and provide guidance for the organizations in their quest to better evaluate and manage their own financial health.”

The Center for Faith and Health also received an $8,775 grant from the Valparaiso Project’s Practicing Our Faith initiative, which will be used for a project titled “Honoring the Body: Spreading the Word.”

The initiative builds on an earlier grant the Center received from the Valparaiso Project in 2006 for a wellness initiative.

Under the leadership of Mary Chase-Ziolek, Ph.D., Center director and professor of health ministries, the Center for Faith and Health is seeking to strengthen practices of honoring the body among clergy, in seminaries, and in congregations. It will host three regional conferences on the connection between faith and health for Covenant congregations, develop a dialogue among Chicago seminaries on issues of food and faith, and contribute to the professional discourse on clergy well-being through publications.

North Park marathoners raise money, awareness When roommates Grace Miller C’2010 and Mallory Page C’2010 laced up their running shoes to begin training for the 2008 Chicago Marathon on October 12, they had more than the big race in mind.

Along with Grace’s sister, Jane, a student at the University of Illinois–Chicago, the three accumulated more than $2,620.

“Amidst more than 32,000 runners, I could feel that something big was happening, but for me I felt like it was even bigger,” says Page. “I wasn’t just running for the sake of running, I was running for a cause. I was running for fresh water wells, and I was running for hope.”

Neighborhood Choir making music at North Park The Chicago Children’s Choir (CCC), an internationally acclaimed multiracial, multicultural ensemble founded in 1956, recently teamed up with North Park University and the North River Commission to launch its eighth after-school Neighborhood Choir, expected to serve up to 80 children from Albany Park and the surrounding communities.

The CCC’s Neighborhood Choir Program focuses on beginning and intermediate choral training for boys and girls ages 8-14 after school during the school year. It’s one of several programs hosted by the CCC at large, which includes 67 in-school choruses in 50 Chicago elementary schools, a 100-voice concert choir, and seven additional afterschool neighborhood choirs at sites throughout the city, including Garfield Park, Lincoln Park, Hyde Park, and others.

New administrators welcomed to the ranks President David Parkyn, Provost Joseph Jones, and Vice President for Student Development Andrea Nevels welcomed six new administrators to the leadership team of North Park University this year. They were recognized at the October 6 Honors Convocation held in Anderson Chapel.

(Left to right) President David Parkyn, Dean of Seminary Academic Life Linda Cannell, Director of Career Development and Internships Colette Hands, Dean of Diversity and Intercultural Programs Terry Lindsay, Dean of the School of Education Rebecca Nelson, Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations Mary Surridge, Director of Institutional Effectiveness and Research Robert Stanley, Provost Joseph Jones, Vice President for Student Development Andrea Nevels.

The new dean of the School of Education at North Park University, Rebecca Nelson C’72, Ph.D., says she is looking forward to advancing the mission of the school that has had a major impact on her family. Her father, the late Burton Nelson, was an influential Seminary professor, and her mother, Grace, still teaches there.

“It’s very special to be able to come back,” says Dean

Nelson, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in music education from North Park and met her husband, Craig Lindley, at the University.

Nelson says she doesn’t feel like she is living in the shadow of her father, who was a world-renown scholar of the life and work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He taught at North Park from 1960 until his retirement in 1996 and was serving as Research Professor of Christian Ethics at the Seminary at the time of his death in 2004.

Nelson says she is eager to continue North Park’s long tradition of teaching educators how to live lives of significance and service amid a changing educational climate. Such lives require teachers to be competent and reflective, she adds.

One of Nelson’s primary tasks will be to make sure the school’s program is tailored to changes in the field, including new technologies.

However, “Technology will never replace the human element,” she notes. “There is always going to be a need for face-to-face interaction between teachers and students.”

Nelson earned her master’s degree in curriculum development from DePaul University and her doctor of philosophy from the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at Loyola University Chicago.

Since 2004, she was the superintendent of schools in Skokie, Illinois. She previously served in other Illinois districts as teacher, principal, and district administrator.

WHOSE LIFE IS IT ANYWAY?

The tension between individual freedom and community responsibility is at the heart of this year’s Campus Theme discussion.

Christian theologian Paul Tillich once asserted, “Being religious means asking passionately the question of the meaning of our existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the answers hurt.”

At North Park University, although the discipline of asking such weighty questions is often inspired by and rooted in faith, the process is not simply a matter of being religious—it’s a matter of being alive.

“If our object is to equip students for lives of significance and service, then grappling with big questions is an important part of preparation to do that,” says Professor of History David Koeller, Ph.D. Koeller is the former director of the North Park Dialogue program, a series of courses that challenge undergraduates to contemplate life’s deepest questions—from “What is truth?” to “What does it mean to be ethical?” to “What is a life of faith?”

He is also current director of the closely related Campus Theme program, which incorporates Dialogue questions into forums, artistic events, film festivals, outreach opportunities, Chapel services, and conversations that extend far beyond the walls

“If our object is to equip students for lives of significance and service, then grappling with big questions is an important part of preparation to do that.”

– David Koeller, Ph.D. of the University’s classrooms and residence halls. Since its inception nearly 10 years ago, the Campus Theme program has evolved to include a public lecture series that engages students, alumni, and off-campus visitors in reflective thought about who we are and how we should live.

“When I came to college, I was amazed at how much I didn’t know,” writes student Matt Enquist C’2009 in an award-

winning essay he composed in response to a previous Campus Theme question, “What is truth?”

“I thought I had things pretty well under control and that maybe four years of Bible classes would make me an expert in ancient Near-Eastern geography or first-century Jewish fishing practices or something like that. But the more I learned, the more pathetically small I felt. Sometimes it’s a burden that I feel physically, the weight of ignorance. . . . The things I’m most sure of are nothing glamorous. I believe in love working on a small scale effecting change in ways larger than I could have imagined, life lived in connection to the earth, to its creator, and to his creations. I believe in the power of silence and the rule of peace. I seek a kingdom of reversal, the meek ruling in humility, the hungry eating their fill, the tears of the sorrowful wiped away and wounds healed. All the while, I will trust and cling desperately, often feebly, to a way illustrated by eating simple meals with simple sinners like me, washing dirty feet.”

It is this type of reflection that the Campus Theme hopes to inspire in all North Park students. This year’s theme, “Whose Life Is it Anyway?” is a variation of the biblically-based question, “Is my life my own?” How students respond to that question determines how they relate to one another and to those in the world at large.

As Tillich promised, sometimes the answers to life’s most essential questions often take us out of our comfort zones.

When author and speaker Lauren Winner spoke on submission to authority in an October 1 Chapel service, she highlighted an important truth at the heart of the Campus Theme. Regardless of the autonomy we may think we have as individuals, because we are all a part of the body of Christ, we are accountable for the decisions we make about ourselves because others have a stake in those decisions. It’s a principle that extends to how we use our time, how we use our finances, and “all sorts of other topics that in America we think are private,” Winner said.

What are some additional topics?

In Belize, where 62 percent of the population is age 24 or younger, Petters believes such cultural revitalization and economic development is an attainable vision.

“Science has no respect for people of faith unless they are world-class,” notes Petters. “If we, as Christians, see science taking directions that we’re not happy with, then our objective should be to get involved. I believe our role in this new century is to make sure we are a part of the currents that transform our planet.”

Today he promotes education through investing in the Petters Institute, which he founded in 2005, and looks for ways to apply science to the needs of his country in order to create jobs and improve the standard of living.

Several additional speakers will visit campus in the months to come, with a concluding Campus Theme panel discussion that will reflect on the year’s activities and conversations on April 22. “What Is Justice?” is the theme scheduled for the 2009-2010 academic year.

Fifteen years ago, neighboring country Costa Rica began to systematically train students in computer technology.

Because those students were able to create a base of professionals, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of computer processors decided to build a microchip plant

Koeller says he hopes students will be encouraged to think more deeply about their own roles and responsibilities now and in the future because of their engagement with the Campus Theme. “Above all,” he says, “we want to help them consider the issues that are worth committing their lives to.”

family where table linens and other woven textiles were often used and treasured,” she says. “Even as a young child, I was always trying different ways of creating something using thread, whether it be counted cross-stitch, knitting, sewing, et cetera.”

Nature and traditional Swedish patterns continue to intrigue Morrison, but her work also emerges from life experience. The design of one weaving, “Monarch Metamorphosis,” was developed shortly after her husband’s death and inspired by a condolence card she received. The message likened the soul, after it leaves human form, to a butterfly emerging from its dark cocoon.

A love for music and a love for weaving are two interests that he and fellow artist Vivian (Olson) Morrison C’59 have in common.

FACULTY ESSAY

The Other Side of the Story: Re-Evaluating Conflict Resolution

by Mary Adams Trujillo

Associate Professor of Intercultural Communication and Conflict Transformation

At age fifteen my world changed.

Before, my favorite activities were talking on the phone, listening to records with my friends, or standing in front of the bathroom mirror trying out new hairstyles. However, during my sophomore year in high school I joined the debate team and the course of my future was firmly set in place by these words: Resolved. The U.S. should adopt a system of compulsory arbitration in labor-management disputes.

Something about “compulsory arbitration” and “labor-management disputes” intrigued and captivated me. I was hooked, and began what would become a lifelong love affair with the worlds of negotiation, arbitration, mediation, and conflict resolution.

What followed was simultaneously exhilarating and frustrating.

Many practitioners we encountered had profound stories, but were intimidated by the act of writing. So, with the idea that lived experience is a legitimate basis for knowledge claims, we, the Practitioners Research and Scholarship Institute, began three years of writing workshops, mentoring relationships, and conference calls. We then collected material for an anthology. Through an intense process of nurturing, editing, and cajoling, we came up with a manuscript, submitted it to several publishing houses, and finally Re-Centering Culture and Knowledge in Conflict Resolution Practice emerged in the summer of 2008.

By using culture as the lens through which we looked at practice Conflict, the experts say, occurs when two or more interdependent and knowledge, we learned: parties perceive threats to their values, resources, or needs.

Despite centuries of conflict-resolving traditions from across the globe, our voices and practices were not included in the literature. Like water to fish, our cultures were the necessary but invisible elements of conflict resolution knowledge. We obviously needed to write our stories, not just for validation, but because we had something to offer to a broken world.

Mary Adams Trujillo, Ph.D., is an associate professor of intercultural communication and conflict transformation in the department of communication arts. Her latest book, Re-Centering Culture and Knowledge in Conflict Resolution Practice, was published in 2008 by Syracuse University Press.

In addition to conducting research, Johnson works with families considering adoption as well as those who have already adopted internationally.

A Voice for the Voiceless

by Rich Johnson

It’s 10:00 p.m. on a Thursday night and Sharon Irving C’2008 is riding home on the train after a long but satisfying voice rehearsal in South Barrington, Ill. This recent graduate is still settling into her new position at one of the country’s largest nondenominational churches, Willow Creek. Her interesting title at this suburban megachurch is “Creative Essence.” And it fits Irving quite well.

In a short film produced by the church entitled, “A Thousand Questions,” Irving takes viewers on a powerful journey through the biblical creation, fall, and promised restoration, grieving the current realities of our world through song and spoken-word poetry: The earth is groaning night and day A song of human slavery Of dark disease and poverty Of children in captivity God—that’s the sound that comes to me Are you still far away on high?

Still staring out at that empty sky?

Still reaching out with that longing hand?

I hear no voice and I don’t understand I know about theology I know you gave your Son for me I know you’re wrapped in mystery I get invisibility But I still see their misery I hear their voices haunting me Saying, “Who will come and set us free?”

Her onscreen performance was shown live and via satellite at Willow Creek’s Leadership Summit in August 2008 to more than 50,000 leaders around the world.

A Chicago native who grew up on the south side of the city, Irving comes from a family of 22 NORTH PARKER | WINTER 2009

significant role during her college career.

“North Park taught me that there is so much more to singing than just sounding good,” she explains. “When you share your artistic gifts, it’s a matter of the heart and being transparent. That’s what moves people.”

Irving’s studies in communication honed her writing skills and ability to express herself, and a minor in sociology gave her a historical and academic perspective on many of the cultural crises and social injustices of our world.

“At North Park I was challenged to be aware of what was happening in the world, to understand my privilege, and to become the hands and feet of Jesus wherever I find myself,” says Irving, Sharon Irving C’2008 and Willow Creek Worship Director Matt Lundgren C’97 the first of the grand“Sometimes when you grow up with something, children in her family to attend and graduyou are expected to do it,” notes Irving, who ate from college. “I am so thankful for the says she was frequently called upon to sing or way my time at North Park shaped me.

In the fall of 2006, Ryan served as the Seminary’s Pastor in Residence (a program funded by a grant from the Lilly Endowment), and in the summer of 2007 he enjoyed a camping trip to Seattle with five fellow North Park alumni.

He initially learned about North Park at First Covenant Church in Seattle through Covenant Beach Bible Camp. As Ryan prayed for guidance and wrestled with decisions about college, he felt that God was leading him to North Park.

Amy learned about the University through attending First Covenant Church in Mason City, Iowa. She enrolled at North Park in large part because of peers who attended, and because the financial package she was offered made it possible. She was also drawn to the study abroad program in Morelia, Mexico, and to the Spanish major, which well prepared her for a master’s degree and a career teaching Spanish.

Now as parents, Ryan and Amy are looking to their children’s future. As they worked with a Covenant Trust Company representative, they have been able to develop an estate plan that ful­ fills their personal and charitable financial goals.

In addition, giving back to North Park has been a natural way for them to further the intent and dedication of those who built the University.

NORTH PARKER | WINTER 2009 29

ANNUAL FEATURE REPORT ARTICLE

A Message From the President Among the most popular sites on campus is the intersection of two pedestrian walkways that cross the center of the North Park University campus. One path leads east/west from Carlson Tower to Brandel Library; a second path leads north/south from Foster Avenue to the North Branch of the Chicago River. Our landscape architect marked the intersection of these paths with a large brass medallion set in the brick walkway. The medallion combines the points of the compass with the University seal.

I’ve often thought of this medallion over the past year, as we have drafted a new strategic plan for North Park. This plan begins with our institutional mission and identity and points the way to our future. It will serve as our institutional compass, marking true north by the vision and educational ideals that direct our work. It identifies a direction—a trajectory. It doesn’t tell all that we’ll encounter on our journey, but it points us toward the end we want to reach. It is a compass, not a GPS. Our aspiration—the point toward which the compass directs us—is to make North Park University a place of formational and transformational learning shaped by the Christian faith, our urban setting, and multicultural relationships, producing graduates who lead lives of significance and service. The primary components of the plan are summarized in a brief table presented as part of this annual report.

In addition to writing the strategic plan, we also achieved a number of other significant accomplishments this year, including the following: • We posted an all-time record in student enrollment.

• The Seminary and the School of Music each successfully completed accreditation reviews.

• Campus authors published several books.

• Music CDs were produced featuring the work of our faculty.

• For the first time in the history of the University a graduating student received a Fulbright award.

• We provided $1.2 million in compensation increases for faculty and staff.

• We secured funding from the Kern Foundation for several full-tuition scholarships for students in the Seminary.

• Attendance at the Axelson Center for Nonprofit Management’s 9th Annual Symposium increased by 26 percent.

• We welcomed our new provost.

• We hired more than 40 new members of the University’s faculty and staff.

• We received an Award for Excellence in Landscape Architecture from the American Institute for Architects and the Society for College and University Planning.

• Burgh Hall was renovated.

• The faculty by-laws were rewritten, and a new governance structure was agreed upon.

• We held the second annual Senior Honors Symposium.

• We graduated 611 students.

Of one thing I am sure: it takes much more than a president to successfully run a University. I am joined in this work by some wonderful people on our campus who teach and mentor students each day of the year. More than this, I am joined by people across the country who make a difference at North Park—people who provide financial support to assure the margin of excellence that makes an education at North Park distintctive.

This annual report provides us a chance to celebrate a good year, but more importantly it gives us an opportunity to thank the people who continue to support North Park University. Many of your names are noted herein.

Thank you for your partnership with us.
