Renovation projects hammer away around campus By Marty Garcia, Editor-In-Chief When fall comes around, the flowers bloom a little bit wider, the windows shine a little brighter, and the doors open a little wider. Students reinvigorate the campus atmosphere every midAugust, and this 2016 Fall semester is no exception to the norm. But while every summer has brought change in one form or another, this time we have several HUGE changes to address. Some are more obvious than others, but all will better our Schreiner Experience. Vice President for Administration and Finance Bill Muse explains why these renovations started taking place, beginning with the Campus Master plan that was completed in 2010. “The process involved a

vision for the future of the campus. There were several priority items, among which was the Commons and the Quad,” Muse said. “Underground Irrigation made the maintenance of the area more efficient and saves the precious resource of the water. When you walk around the campus now, the grass is green and the trees and shrubs are healthy. It was a successful investment into the beautification of the campus.” With this motivation, Schreiner continues to renovate and rejuvenate, and we have the ongoing projects listed here.

By Monika Ruiz, Student Writer Say hello to our newest and much-needed staff, Adrienne McClendon and David Gehrels! Filling the first year coordinator position that was vacated last May, Adrienne McClendon is excited to be on campus and in her new office. McClendon was born in Austin and pursued her un-
dergraduate degree in Anthropology at Southwestern University in Georgetown. She found her calling to the student services field while being a resident assistant at Southwestern, which led her to pursue a master’s in Student Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. Outgrowing the big city environment, McClendon graduated from the program in May and was looking to work
in a small school where she could get a rich experience; and in that search she found Schreiner University. “Working at Schreiner was appealing to me because in a small campus I can get to know both students and staff while building close relationships with them,” McClendon said. As the new coordinator for the First Year Experience, McClendon will be serving in
various areas that affect all traditional freshmen, such as orientation programs, Mountaineer Camp, and living and learning communities. She will also be a resident director for Delaney Residence Hall. Her job is focused on helping first year students have the best Schreiner experience as well as helping them transition from high school Continued on page 7
By Alyssa Cole, Student Writer This new feature in the paper will tell the story of the 103 Veteran Alumni who are listed on the Memorial Wall in the Commons. Each issue will feature two or three names from the wall with some information about each individual during their time at Schreiner Institute, founded in 1917 as facilities for high grade instruction and military training to boys and young men as
preparation for college and university work. As a student, I am doing this research because we should be aware of those who have fought for this country, and how Schreiner played a part in their life.
This also respectfully shows their loved ones that we have not forgotten their sacrifice for our freedom. Information about each of the 103 veterans on the wall can be found in the Alumni Office in Hoon Hall. In my
investigations, we look up some information about each one in a digitized database, and in analog in the Recalls. A Recall is what Schreiner called their yearbook, which was published until 1981. Continued on page 7

The Reveille - August 24, 2016
A Presbyterian in Portland By Emily Williams, Student Writer I think anyone that knows me could tell you I’m a huge presby geek… So I was extremely excited when I woke up last November to an email from a representative of my Presbytery inviting me to participate as a Young Adult Advisory Delegate to the Presbyterian General Assembly in Portland, Oregon. In layman’s terms, I was asked to go to the presby equivalent of congress and weigh in on what the “Young People” think about things going on in our denomination, such as whether or not we should endorse the teaching of evolution in schools, to divesting in fossil fuels. Overall, it was a really incredible experience. I got to meet people from all over the country, some people from Puerto Rico, and someone from Scotland. I even got to talk to a minister from Havana about our faculty-led trip to Cuba. Getting to know all of these people and hear about their unique perspectives on 101 different issues was basically my personal heaven. One of the things I love about the Presbyterian church is the idea of
“mutual forbearance”. This term was coined by John Calvin, a French historical church figure. This concept basically means that we have decided no matter what someone believes, it is our calling to love and respect them, and work with them to achieve solutions that are best for everyone. So basically, “it’s more important to be loving than it is to be right.” My experience at GA just gave me a chance to see this in action. The conversations I had will be memories I keep forever. While it was awesome getting to meet people, it was also nice seeing familiar faces so far away from home. Judy Ferguson, the director of Schreiner’s Christian Vocations internship, was there, as well as a few parents of current Schreiner students. I made a point to wear SU shirts and got plenty of people telling me how much they love our little Presbyterian-affiliated school, and how happy they were that I was a student here. Just that experience was enough to make me proud to be a Mountaineer.

Campus Comic
A Summer of Service By Elliot Patterson, Student Writer This past summer was a busy, exhausting, and hot summer to say the least; however I would not change a thing if given the opportunity. I was given the chance to be a counselor for not just one but three separate camps. To start, I worked at the Kerrville Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club day camp. My day to day consisted of Nerf target practice, water balloon fights, and obstacle courses. Ultimately, this day camp was a fun outlet for both the kids and staff alike. The second camp I attended was Camp La Junta’s Dream Kamp (spelling) in Hunt. At dream camp I along with my three co-counselors spent a week with local middle school kids doing various activities. We shot rifles, bows, and climbed high ropes, rode horses, canoed and kayaked. Coupled with these activities was the underlying goal of instilling Christian morals in the children. Ultimately our job was to provide the campers with exemplary role models that truly lived righteous lives and still provide a fun jam-packed week.
When the week came to a close the kids left legitimately inspired to lead better lives as they prepared for the school year. Immediately after Dream Kamp ended, I packed up and left for my third and final Counseling position for the summer. I found myself at Camp Travis, a camp right on lake Travis in Spicewood, Texas. This camp had it all; there was laser tag, paint ball, jet skiing, tubing, a blob, and a pool with a waterslide, a trapeze, and two diving boards to name a little. Furthermore, this camp provided a breath-taking outlet for the kids to have fun. However, the central focus of Camp Travis was to teach the children about Jesus and his many works. At the end of the day, each activity was meant to be related to a scripture or message of what it means to be a follower of Christ. Each camp provided new challenges for me as a counselor to grow both mentally and spiritually and led to some great memories and lasting friendships. If you are looking for a fun, character building way to spend your summer, I highly suggest becoming a counselor.

My Story In South Korea
By Monika Ruiz, Student Writer It is hard to believe how much your mind, soul and even your entire life can be transformed by traveling. If you don’t think so or you have never travelled, let me share with you my recent experience. This summer I had the opportunity to travel to South Korea. I never imagined how much I would learn during those weeks there and how amazing this experience would be. South Korea is a very culturally rich country; it has the perfect combination of technology and culture. For three weeks I had the opportunity of attending Hannam University, located in Daejon, South Korea, along with the other eight members of Global Scholars and our advisor Seabrook Jones.
We learned firsthand the different aspects of South Korea such as the way their education system works. In class, we discussed their society, history and language, which helped us have a better understanding of the things we were experiencing every day. One of the things that amazed me the most about this country is the way they stay true to their roots. It was really precious to me to see how even the younger generations respected and honored their traditions and customs. For example, it was very common to see people bowing when they said hi to each other or younger girls often called older guys “oppa,” as well as younger guys called older girls “nuna.”Traveling through South Korea made me cherish every moment I spent at any giv-
A Note to the Freshman Class
high school because tests count a lot more. Grab your study buddies and hit the library, but also remember to take some breaks—this will help solidify your memory and keep you refreshed. And if you’re ever stuck, ask your professor, the peer tutors, or a classmate. 3. Get involved, but not too involved! There are several student organizations here at Schreiner—keep a look out for whatever catches your eye! You will make great friends, get busy with awesome projects, and build your resume. Just don’t overload yourself—grades come first. 4. Exercise! Yes, the dreaded gym is key, but you will find that if you workout at least 3 times a week, you’ll be more energetic, happier, and fit for anything. I know it’s hard, but even a short walk around campus will work. 5. Take some time to yourself. College is demanding, but there will be some days when you’re free to do whatever. If that is the case, treat yourself to your favorite dessert; call that best friend you haven’t seen in weeks, tell your mom that you’re doing fine, etc. With these tips, I promise you, Class of 2020, you will do great things here at Schreiner. Being a student here is a huge privilege, so make the most of it and you will succeed!
Education became a huge deal since they believe it is the key to success. An average high school senior gets home from studying for their college entrance exam at 2 a.m. and their day starts at 6 in the morning. One of our professors told us some of his students tell them that if you are able to sleep more than four hours during high school than that means you probably won’t be successful. After that class I promised I wouldn’t complain about college ever. Traveling to South Korea was a great experience and one of the best things is that we were able to share this experience with people from other universities in the United States, Ecuador, Colombia and Malaysia. So not only did I get to experience and learn about South Korea but I also got to meet and make amazing friends from all around the world. Traveling opens your mind to places you never imagined. It helps you understand people from other cultures and the world better, and it helps you realize that no matter how many differences we can point out to each other such as race, gender, color, etc., we can always learn from others to improve our way of life and to be a better person. So get ready and dare to explore the world around you; life is a story, what will yours say?

By Mikaela Sebastyn, Student Writer Dear Class of 2020, Congratulations! You graduated high school and now you’re attending Schreiner University (you should thank your parents for paying for it). I remember last year when I first set foot on campus, walked into my dorm room and met my roommate and fellow classmates. I admit it was very nerve wrecking but also exciting because I knew I was starting a whole new chapter in my life. Now, I know you’re probably thinking several questions right now, such as, what if my roommate hates me, what if my professor is mean, what if I don’t make any friends, what if I can’t find the HEB, etc. Before you get yourself tangled up in worries and fears, I want to give you some advice on how to make the most of your first year at college. 1. Communicate with your roommate often. Talk about a cleaning schedule, find out which classes you share, discuss anything that makes you uncomfortable. This will help you avoid conflict and make your dorm a safe haven. Even if you don’t end up being best friends, you’ll still have comfort knowing you can count on your roommate. 2. Study hard and take breaks. College coursework is different than
en place. There were times where I would just pause for a minute and look around, hear every sound and draw that moment in my memory because the beauty I was experiencing there was life-changing, I wanted to hold on to that moment and make sure I was taking a bit of every place with me even when I left. It is impossible to not be transformed by a culture that knows how to work as a community- even at the dinner table. This is another custom that transformed our mindset, whenever you go out for lunch or dinner everything that is brought to the table is expected to be shared. For example, if you order a soda, they will bring you the soda along with cups so you can serve everyone else. Also, in Korean culture is very disrespectful to serve your own drink, therefore, everyone at the table should look out for others. If you were to see someone’s cup of water is almost empty you are in charge of refilling it, and if you run out of water someone should do the same for you. At first it was hard to adjust to this custom but honestly, this is one of my favorite things I experienced. A culture that values education, South Korea was able to rise from ashes and become a world leader in only 50 years. After the war, Korea did not have many resources so that is why they started working as a community to rebuild their country.

UPPERCLASSMEN: What advice would you give yourself if you could go back to freshmen move-in day? “Don’t be so stressed about your room looking perfect, getting along with your roommate, finding your first class, etc. Everything will be just fine!” “Calm. Down. Everything is going to be okay. You’ll settle in, find your social niche, and Schreiner will soon begin to really feel like home.” “Don’t get too attached to one person. Try to make as many friends as possible!” “Meet everyone on the floor. Get involved.”

ATPE sets goals for semester By Heather Stude, Student Contributor ATPE. What does that mean? Have you seen this logo around campus? Starting last semester, you may have seen the ATPE logo once or twice (Dia Del Nino anyone?), but my hope is that you will be seeing this logo more frequently throughout this upcoming school semester. ATPE stands for the Association of Texas Professional Educators. It is an organization designed to protect the rights of Texas educators in local public school systems. A few examples of membership benefits include: protection against lawsuits, representation for educators at the Texas State Capitol, online and in-person workshops and videos to assist in being the best educator you can be, and discounts on various stores and restaurants throughout Texas. There are several local ATPE chapters located throughout Texas, including the one we are starting back up at Schreiner University. How does this affect you? I’m glad you asked. Schreiner’s ATPE Chap-
ter is currently reorganizing and we need your help! If you are an education major, consider coming to one of our interest meetings that we will be holding throughout the semester. We will be providing you with the information you will need to consider whether joining ATPE is something that will benefit you and your future as a professional educator. If you are not an education major, we ask that you donate money to help us rebuild our local chapter by purchasing items when we fundraise. We plan on selling bracelets and baked goods several times throughout the semester. We will be using the money raised to purchase items for membership, recruit new members, and begin campaigning for the new officer positions for the spring semester. I hope you will help our local ATPE Chapter in building strong and intelligent educators for the future. As Malcolm X puts it: “Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare it for today.”

Financial Aid Saved His Semester By Marty Garcia, Editor-In-Chief Nursing student Tony Farmer attends class and studies hard just like the next Schreiner student. But his fight to get into school is probably ten times harder. “Being a man in long term recovery from drugs and alcohol, I never dreamt it would be possible for me to ever pursue my lifelong dream of being a nurse,” Farmer said. “I have so much to be grateful for and couldn’t have done it without the support of so many friends and family members.” Farmer’s only concern with school was the funds. He started a GoFundMe page, and thanks to that support, was able to raise over $4,000 since March of last year. This and Schreiner’s internal scholarships helped Farmer to make it through two semesters, halfway along the path to being an RN. Which is why when Farmer went to Financial Services in late June, he jumped for joy to hear that his account had a credit. “I shared this status and told everyone that I didn’t need to raise funds for this semester and was so thankful to God and to everyone around me,” Farmer said. However, when Farmer went to get a transcript in early August, he was told that due to a balance on the account, he would not be able to get a transcript or attend classes in the fall. An error in the account had led to the miscalculation and the hidden balance, which left Farmer at square one again. However, Farmer was not alone. “After bringing my concerns to Schreiner’s staff and faculty on Monday, I was contacted by Schreiner to come in for a meeting,” Farmer said. “The school, because of their belief in student success, has made every effort to help me sift through the dilemma with my Financial Aid. They were able to find a special grant that will take care of a large portion of the amount that I owe.” “This would not have been possible without God, the prayers of my friends and loved ones, and the Schreiner University Admissions & Financial Aid staff. I am so grateful to be at a University that truly cares about their students and works to resolve issues in a timely manner,” Farmer said. Thanks to lots of donors and the work of the financial aid and services departments, many students like Tony Farmer are able to attend Schreiner. The best way to find aid for school is to looks for scholarships, keep up your grades, and start the financial aid process early in the spring. The Financial Aid office offers students scholarship application aid and free consultations. You can schedule an appointment online by emailing finaid@schreiner.edu or calling (830) 792-7217.

Renovation Projects majority of the academic year and something needed to be done,” said Dr. Lucien Costley, who oversaw the design and renovation. “A face lift. A new cover. A new name. A new purpose.” Due to the partnership with Concierge books, which saves students money on textbooks, part of the old Bookstore was left unused for months during each semester. A much-needed redo on the layout of the old Schreiner Bookstore resulted in a new chill space, new checkout register, more space for items, and an overall rise in Mountaineer Pride. Students helped with the new name, Schreiner Outfitters, in a poll taken by the Bookstore staff during Spring 2016. “Now, the bookstore is not limited in function, but can be used for textbook distribution during peak months throughout the year, followed by a seating and meeting space thereafter,” Dr. Costley said. “It is awesome,” said Peggy Clanton, manager of the Bookstore, who oversaw all the changes during the remodel. “Thanks to lots of effort from employees all around campus, we now have a new space for textbook distribution as well an area for small group meetings. There is no way to express my appreciation to all those who helped.” The renovation was funded thanks to the approval of a Capital Funding request, which was submitted to the Planning Stewardship Committee and approved by President Tim Summerlin for the 2016-2017 Fiscal Year. “Now, the focus of Schreiner Outfitters is to offer general merchandise and apparel,” Dr. Costley said. “Students will be able to see merchandising more freely from the interior of the CCAC as well as from the exterior, as windows that were previously covered now bring in sunlight to Schreiner Outfitters. A new layout of the store allows for a seating and meeting area so that “Monday Night Fiction” can be offered and other authors or poets can provide book readings and signings as well as songwriters performances.” A grand opening is planned for the new Bookstore on Aug 26th, at 10 AM. There will be refreshments and
door prizes. Don’t miss out on this historic Schreiner event! 2100 Memorial Blvd Entrance Renovation First impressions are always important, and with that in mind, a project to improve the front entrance of the campus was approved and set in motion this summer. Expected to be finished by early September, this new design includes turn lanes, a tower, a flagpole, and a large lettered sign for Schreiner University. “The third priority was the front entrance,” Muse said. “One, we wanted to make it more efficient for people to get in and out. So we widened it with double lanes on both sides of the median. It makes it easier for cars to enter and exit the campus. In addition to that we wanted to improve it visually.” “For years, people complained that it wasn’t very visible. People from both directions would pass the campus before they even realized it. The entrance did not make much of a statement. We wanted it to communicate that it was the entrance to a college campus. This design is more bold and visible.” In this renovation also came a security upgrade. Now, cameras will record the license plates of cars entering and exiting campus at all hours. This will help security keep track of who is on campus, and also use the footage as an investigation tool. The other entrances will also be renovated at a later date. Campus Ministry Relocation and Renovation The Dietert Auditorium was built in the 60’s, a fact most people noticed when they congregated inside its brick walls and sat on the well-loved red velvet seats. However, the seats and more were removed in early July this summer, as the building prepared to take on a new life as the new Campus Ministry Center. The old Campus Ministry House by Faulkner Hall, was, well, an actual house. The Campus Reverend used to live there, but then it became offices, an open kitchen for students, and a place for Campus Ministry to hold meetings and some worship. But in all aspects the little
Continued from front page house was small. With this new space that should seat some 200 persons at a time, students and staff are excited to see Campus Ministry and its events come back to the inside of the Acorn Loop. New offices, study rooms and counseling centers, will be inside the former auditorium. A 100-seat recital hall will also be open to students. “The new Campus Ministry center will be a great asset to campus! It will not only enhance worship experiences but also provide the space needed for interfaith cooperation,” Senior Stephanie Schumaker said. “The new building will equip the unique ecumenical population that Schreiner has by creating a space where religious and non-religious students can come together to work for a common goal.” This upgrade will run the longest of the Summer 2016 projects, as it is not expected to be finished until early July of 2017, according to Dale Myers, the Director of Facilities Services. New Music Education Hall in the Rex Kelly A growth in the performing arts and music program combined with the effect of being ousted from the auditorium resulted in the transformation of the Rex Kelly, or the “old gym.” The new building will be two floors of performing arts heaven spread over 10,000 square feet. In the new floor plan, there are classrooms, offices, practice rooms and rehearsal spaces. “The new music building has been a long time coming and I’m so excited for it to be finished,” Senior Hannah Martin said. “Dietert was honestly just too small to accommodate the growing music program. The new rehearsal spaces and recording studio is going to be awesome and much appreciated by the students.” This construction should be completed by Spring Break 2017. Other improvements on campus include the new open-windowed laboratory in the Moody Science Hall, improvements on the Hanzen building, and upgrading the Observatory to connect the telescope to the Loftis classroom.

By Marty Garcia, Editor-In-Chief Turning down a small gravel drive, the smell of smoke and spices greets you as you arrive at a friendly, family-style collection of picnic tables. After you place your order at the food truck, stake out your claim at one of the tables with a sweet tea and soon enough, the best Cajunstyle food will join you straight from the kitchen. But make no mistake—this is the Chuckwagon, NOT a restaurant! And that is what makes it so good! Owned by the Huser family, the whole Chuckwagon experience is designed to make you feel like family. Friendly customer service, patience, and made-to-order food are not easy, but done with grace and excellence here. Sometimes there is even live music. Located right on Junction Highway at 102 Chole Way in Kerrville, the Chuckwagon serves an array of crawfish, gumbo, fish and shrimp tacos, sausages, and pulled pork and Certified Angus brisket sandwiches. Order an Angus burger any way you like, get a bowl of finger-licking good pork ribs, or saddle up with some smoked chicken. It will take a good number of visits to try everything on the menu, but it is worth every bite. No matter your budget, the Chuck-

wagon has something for you. Schreiner students get 10% off their order at the register with an ID. Have a big event like a club meeting or graduation party? Plan your Chuckwagon-catered event 30-60 days in advance, or reserve the Chuckwagon’s corral-style tables, which holds up to 80 persons, and have your event there. Beer and wine are also available. There is good parking and it’s right off the highway, making it easy to find. A meat-lover’s paradise, the Chuck-
wagon sells out often, so if you’re planning on a Louisiana-style lunch or dinner, make sure to call ahead to make sure they are still open. Their number is 830-285-9361 and their hours are Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. till 7 p.m., or when they sell out. Find them on Facebook under “Chuckwagon Kerrville”. Inside the kitchen, you will see Tom Huser, owner of the Chuckwagon, and Alfonze Janice, manager and Louisiana-born head cook. “On August 12, we celebrated

He is from Louisiana, and he knows what he is doing!” Janice grew up in a big family, and found himself cooking alongside seven aunts when he was growing up. “We cooked gumbo, etouffee, shrimp... I have cooked all my life, and even though I went to college to be a mechanic, cooking was something I always loved doing,” Janice said. “Cooking Cajun in Kerrville is great.” My favorites were the bourdain balls, which are little fried spheres of excellence, and the cucumber salad, which crunches fresh and tangy goodness in each bite, AND the Monster burger, which is stuffed with so many delicious ingredients… you have to try it to find out what’s inside! So take a drive down Memorial Blvd about seven miles, and you will find delicious cuisine that originates in the cultural melting pot of Louisiana.

Student Starts Fitness Business By Marty Garcia, Editor-In-Chief Tests, essays, projects… there are so many things that take up a student’s time. But one student, a veteran and proven artist, has put a small business on top of it. Meet sophomore Cody Morgan, who is majoring in communications design after transferring to Schreiner last year. A non-traditional student, Morgan, has proven himself as an artist, innovator, and skilled creator both in and out of the classroom. He has also served in the Navy for four years as a military police officer. His most recent project, Nspire. Fit, is located at 109 Methodist Encampment Road in Kerrville. What got you motivated to start a business? Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to make a difference and impact people’s lives. So last semester when I took Intro to business, I got motivated to pursue ideas once again. I asked myself, ‘what can I do to impact and change people’s lives’? So I set a goal to create a change in the community, to make a family, and saw an opportunity I couldn’t let pass by. I got together with some business partners, and Nspire.Fit was created. We are a local business that can help people worldwide. We focus on having fun in a group setting, helping people get into better shape by promoting a healthy active lifestyle. What sets you apart from other similar businesses? To be blunt, we are NOT a gym. We are a Fitness and Nutrition facility. We work with the number one nutrition company in the world, Herbalife. (If you don’t believe us, you can Google it.) Plus, we take the time to treat every person who walks through our door like a VIP (you will understand when you come see us). A lot of people out there want better health or to lose weight and make that change. We all know it’s not easy to do it on your own. So we bring people together and get them excited about being healthy. We get them excited about working out. We get them ex-
cited about nutrition. When you get people with the same goals coming together like this, and having fun at it, people get amazing results that you won’t see anywhere else.How do you balance class and work? It’s not hard at all when you consider you are only in class for a few hours a day. Instead of wasting my time doing other activities that won’t improve my life, I take that time to focus on improving the lives of others. I do work with other coaches who are at the facility while I’m at school. But as soon as I’m done with class for the day, I head to work… You know what, it’s not work. I’m blessed with the opportunity to affect and impact people’s lives every day. Are there any perks for Schreiner students at your facility? Hell, yeah! Any Schreiner student or staff member who is interested can come down to our facility. Show us your Schreiner ID and we will give you a free wellness evaluation along with a consultation about your fitness and nutrition goals. We will gift you a sample of one of our products and see if you are interested in making a change in your life. We offer fitness classes and events all week long to accommodate any schedule. We are also planning on setting up some fun activities on campus this semester. If you want to stay away from that freshman 15, you might want to come talk to us.What advice do you have for any students who want to start their own business? One thing is for sure take Intro to Business. The class gives you a ton of good information and walks you through how to start a business. But most importantly, do what you love, and don’t take no as an answer. If there is a will, there is a way. So for anyone who is interested, we always have business opportunities within our organization. Come see us today!” Check out Nspire.Fit’s Facebook page, @Nspirefit, or visit them at their website, www.nspire.fit #GetYourSexyOn today! *This is not a sponsored article.
to college life. “What you put into college is what you are going to get out of it,” McClendon said. This is one of the best bits of advice she can give all first year students, since when she was in college this became her philosophy. She said it made her get out of her comfort zone and helped her become who she is today. “It is very important to have a support network to help navigate the college world and to be brave enough to advocate for oneself in this phase of your life,” McClendon said. You can find her office at the first floor of the CCAC across from the Lion’s Den by the Student Services Offices. Her email is AMcClendon@ schreiner.edu, and all first-year students can contact her with any questions. Make sure to give her the Mountaineer welcome when you see her around campus! David Gehrels, a member of the Rebel Alliance has joined our troop. Gehrels will be directing Student Activities, Registered Student Organizations(RSO’s), and Greek life on campus. David Gehrels is from Cushing, Texas, and attended Stephen F. Austin University for his undergraduate in Psychology and Master’s Degree in Community Council. He worked as a Student Services Assistant Director for three years at this SFA. As Director of Student Activities, Gehrels will work with the Student Activities Board, or SAB, to promote and make events happen on campus. His goal is to provide more opportunities for students that live on and off campus to engage with the
Legacy
These books, filled with old pictures, remind us of the great history of Schreiner, and should inspire us to continue the legacy, as we arrive with hope and leave with achievement.

David Gehrels will also be a resource for RSO’s and Greek life, which he is really excited about since he hasn’t had this opportunity before. “In the past, when people asked me what would I do different in my career if I had the chance to I would tell them that I would’ve like to have had my Career Services job before Student Activities, that way I would have more experience and I would be able to produce better leaders. Schreiner has given me the opportunity of achieving this,” Gehrels said. Due to his past experience in career services and now as a Director of Student Activities, he will be able to use his past job knowledge to help develop better leaders in the Schreiner community. Gehrels is very excited to meet all of the Schreiner community. “My goal is to make activities more diverse so a wider range of students can participate in them. SAB will be putting out about 50 or 60 events a semester and it is really important for us that the community participates in them and give us feedback,” Gehrels said. Be on the lookout for SAB applications if you are interested in joining David’s team, and at the same time improve your leadership, organization, and communication skills. Don’t forget to stop by and salute our new troop member. His office is located in front of the Lion’s Den at the Student Activities Offices. His email is DGehrels@schreiner.edu, and everyone is welcome to contact him with any questions or feedback. May the force be with you all this fall semester!
