The laying on of hands my all-time favorites), an outdoor pops concert, and Paintapalooza. The week is designed to help students get acquainted. It works. The energy and laughter at these events are contagious. Denise and I attended Paintapalooza on Tuesday night of Welcome Week. Plastic swimming pools filled with bright-colored latex paints lined the field. Squirt bottles of paint were provided on a nearby table. Sponges were available for soaking and flinging. No one ever said “go.” We just “went.” Denise and I “met” several new freshmen that night. One group of new friends said, “Let’s go lay hands on Brother and Sister Boone.” And they did. (See left.)

elcome Week is the new Rat Week. When I was a college student, hazing was still legal—and avidly practiced at Trevecca. For a solid week, the upper classmen had free reign on the lowly freshmen. We wore beanies, carried cafeteria trays, and sang humiliating children’s songs loudly while standing on one foot in public places. We ate with toothpicks, carried seniors’ books, and dressed outlandishly. Eight days later we were bona fide college students. But hazing has gone the way of 33 RPM records, tape decks, and bell bottoms. Now we do Welcome Week. At Trevecca, Welcome Week means a concert by Paper Route (that’s a really good band you’ve probably never heard of ), a Quad Movie Night featuring “UP,” dodge ball, a massive slip and slide, Troy Trojan Block Party, Celebrity Skate Night (one of

There are all kinds of ways to become family: Rat Week hazing, Welcome Week concerts, going to college, joining a church, sharing the communion meal, and smearing paint all over total strangers until you can call them brother and sister. In the days to come members of the campus community will become even more like a family as we wrestle with complicated issues, explore complexity, deepen faith, learn to get along, and do life together. I suppose the laying on of hands is a good way to start. From ancient days, it has been an act filled with blessing, healing, and grace. And college students need a lot of that. College presidents do too. I kept my painted shirt as a reminder that hands have been laid on me. Maybe I should frame it and hang it beside my ordination certificate. Some things have a way of becoming sacramental acts of belonging.

SUMMER FALL 2010 • TREVECCAN

On Campus Freshmen get down and dirty before starting classes Members of the Trevecca Class of 2014 began their college career by giving to others in a day of community service. Leaders of this annual freshman experience intend for this day of service to be a relationship-building experience— for the freshmen to get to know each other and for them to become aware of the needs of the community. Twenty-person work groups, composed of freshmen, upperclass mentors, and faculty/staff leaders, literally dug their hands into gritty projects in order to improve the community near Trevecca’s campus or to serve in local agencies.

Some groups cleaned flood debris from Brown’s Creek and the surrounding area. Others removed discarded items from streets and alleys in the Chestnut Hill area. Five other groups created or cleaned gardens at neighborhood schools—Johnson, Cameron, Fall-Hamilton, Whitsett, and Glenview. Other groups served at Castanea Apartments (in Chestnut Hill), East Nashville Cooperative Ministries, Trevecca Towers, Rocketown, and Room in the Inn. Leaders hope that these experiences will encourage students to participate in other community service projects throughout their Trevecca years.

For the fifth consecutive year, Trevecca freshmen worked to clean Brown’s Creek.

On Campus A summer of improvements—A changed campus When students left for the summer, the Plant Operations team went to work on an extensive list of campusimprovement projects, and what that staff accomplished is impressive. The result? A more attractive and much-improved campus. The list that follows is a summary of the major summer projects.

Benson Hall, a men’s residence hall, now has completely remodeled bathrooms, (new fixtures, walls, and flooring), new surfacing and railings on the exterior ramps, wheelchair accessibility, new sidewalks, a new ceiling in the outdoor lobby, and new outdoor lighting. Johnson, Tennessee, and Georgia Halls, women’s residence halls, have new windows that give these buildings a more modern look and ensure energy savings.

Renovations to Apple Dining Room gave it the “look and feel” of a restaurant dining room, and students enjoy these new surroundings.

Adams Administration Building is undergoing a major renovation which includes a reconfiguration of space and the addition of an elevator and ADA-compliant restrooms.

Negotiations underway for sale of WNAZ The University recently announced it was negotiating the sale of one of its stations WNAZ, its FM station. This news produced sadness for some persons, especially those mass communication majors who had worked in the station during their Trevecca years. However, the decision to sell the station was not a sudden one—but was the result of an extended deliberation of the following facts: • In the forty-plus years since Trevecca started WNAZ, the broadcasting industry has changed greatly, with many changes the result of new technologies. For WNAZ to be competitive in this new broadcasting industry, it needs significant updating and additional personnel, changes that could cost as much as $1,000,000 over a three-year period. • While the broadcasting industry has been changing, the Nashville Christian radio market has also shifted. WNAZ, formerly the leading voice in this market, now ranks number three in that market. Its ranking reflects the highly competitive nature of the market and negatively affects its ability to attract donors. • With the radio stations operating at an average annual

loss of $100,000+, University administrators found it necessary to consider other less costly ways to provide internships and on-air training for broadcast students. They determined that the remaining on-campus station and local radio stations which have national presence could meet those needs with no harm to the broadcasting program or its students. • Trevecca will continue to retain the WNAZ call letters for a future Internet broadcast station. • The decision to sell the station is not the University’s effort to relieve financial stress. Trevecca is now in its nineteenth consecutive year of operating in the black. On the other hand, this decision reflects the administration’s efforts to manage University resources carefully and effectively. The administration has established a task force to study how Trevecca can use Internet broadcasting to communicate a Christian message and to provide broadcast training for its students. David Deese ’69, chair of the Department of Communication Studies and the first manager of WNAZ, is leading that task force.

On Campus From consumer to professional—Upgraded recording studios In the years since 1988 when the recording studios at Trevecca were established by Garrett Hestla ’87, the studio’s first manager, those facilities have undergone many changes, including the incorporation of

During the past year both recording studios A and B were upgraded to ProTools HD 1, a recording system used nationwide in most commercial-grade recording facilities. During the last three years several other

upgrades and a partnership with McDSP supplying the studio with professional-grade software plugins for ProTools. These upgrades will benefit Trevecca students enrolled in the recently developed music liberal arts (commercial) degree. Students will be able to take several classes in music technology specifically designed to enhance skills in the recording arts, and their training on commercialquality equipment will enhance their preparation for careers in the music industry.

Library and Information Science Program celebrates 10 years of history and also national accreditation Trevecca’s Master’s of Library and Information Science Program (MLIS) celebrated its first ten years of history at a luncheon July 17, 2010, in Waggoner Library. The 65 participants included this year’s students, graduates of the on-campus classes and of the three off-campus groups (Lawrenceburg, Knoxville, and Cleveland, Tennessee), and members of the faculty, past and present. Three program alumnae—Becky Jackman ’03, Alice Bryant ’05; and Hannah Little ’06—spoke at the event. The MLIS Program was officially launched on August 25, 2000, with 24 students. The MLIS Planning Task Force, comprised of Esther Swink ’69, Ray Thrasher ’64, Carolyn Hatfield ’87, and Melvin Welch ’61, spent two years planning the curricula. Then

those plans were reviewed by the MLIS Advisory Committee: Edwin Gleaves, Tennessee State Librarian and Archivist (now retired); Frank Grisham, director of Solinet and Vanderbilt University Library (now retired); Charlotte McAnally, coordinator of learning resources for Metro Schools (now retired); Michael Rothacker, director of Thigpen Library at Volunteer State Community College (now deceased); Ray Thrasher ’64, director of Waggoner Library (now retired); and Susan Whitworth, coordinator of library services for Metro Schools (now retired). The first faculty members were Alan Matthews, Prilla Speer ’78, Charlotte McAnally, Peggy Morris, Ruth Kinnersley, Judy Bivens, and Esther Swink, director. Another reason for celebration was the program’s 2009 accreditation by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), following a two-year study which included developing assessments and collecting and reporting data regarding the effectiveness of the program based on student outcomes. NCATE recognition indicates that the MLIS Program meets national standards set forth by the American Association of School Librarians and the National Council for Teacher Education and that MLIS students have attained a level of achievement commensurate with other nationally recognized programs. Thirty-one students are enrolled in the program in two locations, on campus and in Cleveland, Tennessee, and 215 students have graduated from the MLIS Program since it began.

Taking Trevecca to new audiences summer Christian music Summer festivals The University marketed itself to brand new audiences this summer— audiences whose members were already interested in Christian higher education. Teams of current students* shared Trevecca at nine summer Christian music festivals in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio—events that attracted more than 300,000 teens and church youth groups. These students staffed a booth at the festivals, distributed Trevecca information, and interacted with festival participants. The work of these teams helped three new students decide to enroll in Trevecca this fall, and others have indicated that they plan to attend Trevecca next year. One member of the festival team, Riley Wampler, a rising sophomore from Knoxville, Tennessee, communicated throughout

the summer with one of the teens he met, and when he moved back into Benson Hall in August, he discovered that the young man, Brian Kascandi, had enrolled in Trevecca and was living across the hall from him. “I enjoyed communicating with teens and parents about a school which I love so much. I am especially happy to have Brian at Trevecca,” says Riley.

Zach Sutton, team leader and a senior from Kansas City, and Troy Trevecca were invited onstage at Alive 10, where Zach told the 10,000+ listeners about Trevecca, and other team members threw out Trevecca t-shirts to the crowd.

*These students represented Trevecca at the festivals: Whitney Baun, Chase Birdwell, Brooke Cannon, Hayden Coffman, Morgan Daniels, Jordan Enix, Kirstie Hembruff, Rece Martin, Lauren Rutherford, Rachel Swann, Zach Sutton, and Riley Wampler. Also, Michael McSwain ’10 helped at one of the festivals.

Festival-goers loved having their photos made with Troy Trevecca at Alive 10 in Mineral City, Ohio.

For the third consecutive summer, Camp Electric, a camp for young Christian musicians, took place on Trevecca’s campus. During two weeks in July more than 1,000 teen musicians experienced Trevecca indirectly—while they attended music classes at Camp Electric. This “extended campus visit” provides another way for Trevecca to market itself to young persons who already have an interest in Christian education. During an evening concert, Camp Electric participants respond with uplifted hands.

Trojan Partin, Wilson, and Wilson—Inducted into hall of fame The 2010 Athletic Hall of Fame class has a basketball flavor and a family tie. Will Partin ’03, Jennifer Wilson ’03, and Frank Wilson will be inducted this fall. Will Partin, a transfer from the University of Missouri-Rolla, played three years in a Trojan uniform. Frank Wilson was the head men’s basketball coach (1979-1993) and was also athletic director (1979-1090), and when Trevecca restarted women’s basketball a few years later, his daughter, Jennifer, became part of the team (1999-2003) and subsequently a four-time AllAmerican. With these inductions, 47 individuals are now members of the Trevecca Athletic Hall of Fame. Begun in 1993, the Athletic Hall of Fame honors individuals who have made outstanding contributions within the Trevecca intercollegiate athletic program, which was started in 1969. The Wilsons will be inducted at halftime of the women’s Homecoming basketball game on Saturday, November 6, 2010. Will Partin will be honored on November 13, 2010, when Trevecca will host the University of the Cumberlands in the Robert Garrett Classic.

Paul W. Cleckner–A new scholarship to foster his legacy Paul came to higher education when he sensed a call to ministry after he was married and had a family. He responded to that call by entering Trevecca in August 1957; then he earned degrees from Nazarene Theological Seminary (MDiv, 1964) and from the University of Kansas (MA, 1966/PhD, 1969), both in communication studies—while he served as a pastor.

When former Trevecca professor Paul Cleckner ’61 succumbed to cancer in May 2010, his former students, friends, and family began working to ensure that his memory and example live on.

In 1969 he returned to Trevecca to teach communication. Using a “behavioral” approach, one that included experiential teaching methodology, colearning, and consensus, Paul was a consummate “facilitator,” encouraging the efforts of others; he had the ability to unite people and make them feel respected and loved unconditionally.

This summer his friends established the Paul W. Cleckner Scholarship in his memory and in recognition of his impact on students and the Trevecca community. This scholarship will assist junior and senior communication studies majors whose academic achievements and interpersonal relationships reflect the person-centered approach and caring for others that characterized Paul’s life and teaching. Scholarship founders hope that recipients will learn from Paul, who lived out the words of Martin Buber (1957): “The perfected man . . . does not interfere in the life of beings, he does not impose himself on them, but he helps all beings to their freedom. Through his unity, he leads them too, to unity; he liberates their nature and their destiny.”

Where in the world have you worn Trevecca clothing? Neil Wrenn ’04, DMD, wore his Trevecca shirt when he provided dental care to the native Alaskan inhabitants of Little Diomede, Alaska, a small village of 116 people and the most remote settlement in the U.S. Situated on the edge of a steep mountain and less than three square miles in size, Little Diomede is located in the middle of the Bering Sea. Neil said, “Little Diomede is hard to access even by plane because there is no place to make a runway except the sea ice during winter. The island lies only two miles from the Russian island of Big Diomede. Between the islands lies the International Date Line, so you can ‘look into tomorrow’ when you look at Big Diomede!” One mile behind Neil is the International Date Line.
