We’re calling forth leaders, servants and stewards who are ready to face the future with creativity and hope. We want to be rather than to seem. We want to offer more in a world that settles for less. And we invite you to join us.

ESSE QUAM VIDERI The branding of universities is big business. There are several ways to do it. When you have a bowl-bound football team, your website clicks spike, your enrollment increases and your school name makes the news. When you do research for major companies, you ride the coattails of a conglomerate name. When you amass an endowment fortune approaching a billion, people tell that story with envy. Schools are known for things. 5

ESSE QUAM VIDERI

Sometimes schools want to be known for things that aren’t exactly true about them. It is possible to achieve a brand that has no reality behind it—but the shelf life of such a brand is usually short. When your motto is Esse Quam Videri, “to be rather than to seem,” it calls for brand honesty. I was amused when one marketing consultant told me that we were overly humble. I asked what this meant. “Well,” she replied, “we usually have to help our clients understand that they are not nearly as good as they think they are. You, on the other hand, are better than you say.” I smiled. I suppose Trevecca has been too proud of her humility. So who are we and what do we do well? We are a Christian community. Our employees, faculty and staff are people of faith who work here because they want to serve others. Our students find friends and mentors to help them grow in their faith and deepen their character. The academic brand of Trevecca continues to grow, with wider reach and recognition. The unprecedented growth in enrollment suggests that Trevecca is a university on the rise, a top choice among Christian colleges and affordable in comparison to other private institutions. Generous supporters believe that we are worth their investment. These things are true about Trevecca. This is our brand. But the proof of our pudding is not bowl games, research grants or endowment weight. It is in the thousand people we will graduate this May. If they go into the world with a likeness to Christ, a bent toward serving, exceptional skill and strong relational networks, we will have been who we say we are. In this issue of the Treveccan, we want to tell you some of their stories. And after reading them, I hope you will say Esse Quam Videri.

Diego Benavides, a sophomore, is majoring in biology and chemistry with a pre-pharmacy focus. A recipient of the M.H. and Joyce Stocks/Rose Merchant Scholarship, Benavides became interested in pharmacy while working as a certified nursing assistant during high school. “This scholarship has granted me the financial security I need in order to succeed during my time here at Trevecca,” he says. Stephanie Stocks Rosenjack, whose family endowed the scholarship in memory of Rosenjack’s grandparents, says Trevecca has been a part of her family since 1930. Rosenjack says the family hopes the scholarship allows more students to experience the University that has shaped her family. “Trevecca has a unique way of becoming a home—a safe place to come and grow in the Lord while navigating the early years of adulthood,” she says. “I pray the special recipients of this scholarship will be positively influenced the way my family has been all these years.” Learn more about the history of the scholarship at Trevecca.edu/StocksMerchant.

To be more, Trevecca has to be innovative. That’s why innovation is a key component of everything we do on the Hill, from the way we teach to the design of our classrooms.

“Classroom collaboration is necessary for future social workers to gain the interpersonal skills they will need to practice their work.” —Allison Buzard, director of Trevecca’s social work program

MORE ABOUT ACTIVE LEARNING

Creative Classrooms Innovation isn’t always about the latest technology or the hottest device. When it comes to education, sometimes innovation is more about how instructors present the information and challenge students to engage with it. And when it comes to student success, more and more studies point to the importance of active learning. “Really what we’re talking about with active or agile learning classrooms is the flexibility of pedagogy in the classroom where students are more participants in the learning process,” says Dr. Tom Middendorf, associate provost and dean of academic affairs. In active learning classrooms, furniture plays an important role. These 11 TO BE INNOVATORS

2017: Active learning classrooms are considered a top strategic technology in higher education 2022: Expected a mainstream pedagogical practice (Grajek, Susan. Higher Education’s Top 10 Strategic Technologies for 2017. Research report. Louisville, CO: ECAR, March 2017.

classrooms often feature round or curved tables that better support small group work and are easier to reconfigure and move. Whiteboards, display screens and other technology—both low and high-tech—are often provided at each group station. Active learning spaces might also include technology that allows professors to record or capture their lectures so that students engage with that material outside of class and spend class time actively applying those concepts. Trevecca currently boasts four active learning classrooms—one in the McClurkan Building, two in the Mackey Building, and another in the Boone Business Building—with plans for more.

Some of the world’s greatest innovations begin with someone simply trying to meet a need. That’s exactly what the Vision Institute at Trevecca strives to do. A grant-supported partnership between Trevecca and the Tennessee School for the Blind, the program allows licensed teachers in Tennessee to add a Teacher of Visually Impaired (TVI) endorsement to their license. For educators who qualify—and are willing to spend two years working with students with special needs after completing the program—tuition and books are completely covered by the grant. According to Dr. Andrew Burnham, program coordinator, graduates will leave with vital skills for teaching the visually impaired, such as fluency in Braille and Nemeth code (Braille for math). In addition, graduates gain the knowledge they need to teach students who may not benefit from traditional visual teaching methods. “You have to be a good teacher,” Burnham says. “You have to be able to figure out how to teach concepts in different ways.” Innovation is a key component of the program, since neither the schedule of courses nor course content remains static. As technology such as smart phones, tablets and computers continues to add built-in accessibility functions, the faculty has begun rewriting the program’s technology course. “We’re in the process of rewriting our technology course because technology has changed so much over the past eight years,” Burnham said. “With Apple products, so much accessibility is built right into the product that can help students who are visually impaired.” Learn more at Trevecca.edu/VisionInstitute.

Next Gen Online \ Learning

To learn more about this innovative approach to instruction and the thought behind it, we recently sat down with Daniels and Christman. Read what they had to say about Trevecca’s approach to creating quality online programs.

WHAT GOES INTO CREATING A STRONG ONLINE COURSE? Christman: The key to creating a strong online course begins with the excellent program directors we have here at Trevecca and their skill at selecting outstanding content experts. The expertise and experience that our content experts bring to curriculum development pave the way for an exceptional educational experience for our students. Trevecca students are being prepared by exceptional practitioners and academicians in their fields of study.

HOW DO THE TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGY TREVECCA USES FOR ONLINE COURSES HELP BUILD COMMUNITY AND INTERACTION? Christman: The tools and apps we are using in Trevecca’s online platform enable students Daniels: [Our team]works directly with the program directors on how they envision the to benefit from direct connections they make with our faculty. Students get much more than class. They give us this global perspective of what they want, and we help them break it screen time; they are learning and being influenced through faculty-student interactions down into the details to meet those global initiatives and the things they want the students that enhance the learning experience. to learn. We look at the technology that we have currently to provide a safe environment WHAT DO YOU THINK ONLINE EDUCATION WILL LOOK LIKE IN for the student, a way for us to make sure they have anytime, anywhere access, and also THE FUTURE? that we have what we need to meet the needs of a diverse group and a global community.

Innovation in education now extends past classrooms into coffee shops, living rooms and other locations around the world through online learning options. In the last four years, Trevecca’s online enrollment has grown more than 600 percent. But developing strong online courses takes a lot of work, much of it behind the scenes. At Trevecca, that effort is led by LaMetrius Daniels, director of online learning, and her team in the Center for Innovative Instruction, along with Dr. Ricky Christman, dean of Trevecca’s School of Graduate and Continuing Studies. 13 TO BE INNOVATORS

to be influENCERS We all have influence, and we get to choose how we use it. At Trevecca, we want our students and alumni to be good stewards of their influence, using it to make a difference in the lives of those around them, their communities and the world.

McGwire Portell A freshman and one of the recipients of the Sara Holt Memorial Scholarship, McGwire Portell is majoring in elementary education. “On a mission trip my junior year of high school, I went with a team and taught some students at a local school in the middle of Taiwan,” he says. “This showed me that I love working with children and seeing what happens when they understand a new concept.” Portell hopes to teach overseas as a missionary after graduation. Gary and Edith Holt endowed the scholarship in memory of their daughter, Sara, who died in a tragic car accident when she was 14. “Sara was not just ours,” Edith says. “She touched many lives, and we wanted to find a way to continue touching lives as a tribute to Sara in a way that had eternal significance.” Read more about the story behind the scholarship at Trevecca.edu/SaraHolt.

anybody that the foundation that was established for me there is no doubt the reason that I’ve been successful in the other things I’ve done in the community as a leader and public official and as an advocate for community relations.”

Every influencer \ an has influencer That became evident in talking with two of Trevecca’s own: former metro councilman and current director of the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhoods and Community Engagement, Lawrence Hall, and director of operations at the Juvenile County Clerk’s Office, Avery Patton.

Patton said when he looks back on the beginning of his Trevecca career, he can give credit to God only for Wilson’s recruitment visit to Glencliff High School years ago. He said Wilson’s belief in him and his care for making sure he graduated and was successful inspired him to do the same for other young people.

Both men were recently chosen to serve in positions to influence the Nashville community, and though they are proud of the work they have put in over the course of their careers, each comes back to one thing— the people in their lives who lifted them up. As former athletes, both men say their coaches are who they remember most.

It City

Patton said former head basketball coach Frank Wilson is a man he considers one of his biggest influencers and also one of his closest friends. “One of my best friends who had so much confidence in me was coach Frank Wilson,” Patton says. “He believed in me so much, and there’s no doubt about it in my mind—he is one of the people in my life that really put me on the right track and helped mold me as the man I am right now. I tell him that a lot. He’s a big part of who I am.”

Influencers —By Bailey Basham, ’17

For Hall, former head baseball coach Dave Altopp’s influence was invaluable and something he remembers even years into his career. “Coach Altopp taught me how to be able to deal with failure and how to capitalize on it by turning it into positive energy and learning from those things. He was a real mentor, and I really took that to heart. I remember that to this day. He could have said anything to make me feel good, but he was straight with me,” Hall said. “And being at Trevecca too, I would tell 17 TO BE INFLUENCERS

In 1996, Patton, along with 11 other men from North Nashville, established the Dirty Dozen Men’s Organization. Now, more than two decades later, the organization is still mentoring young people and currently offers the program in Metro Nashville Public Schools. “It’s 100 percent God’s plan. When I look back, even starting the mentoring program, we always help people, and that’s what Jesus did,” Patton says. “He helped people that needed it the most, and for me, being from a low-income area coming up, I knew what people needed. I know what kids in those environments need. “And now, when you think about juvenile court, what other place should I be?” Patton continues. “It was all God’s plan. I never saw it coming, but that had to be in my heart to want to reach out to them.” Want to read more about how Hall and Patton are making a difference in Nashville?

Head of the Class "Their successes are my successes."

At its very core, teaching is about influence. Teachers develop character. They impart knowledge and open their students’ eyes to vital truths and dare them to imagine bigger dreams. As a university, Trevecca has long regarded our responsibility to prepare educators for their roles in the classroom as an honor. And this year, the Tennessee Department of Education took notice, naming one of our graduates, Melissa Miller (’02), as Tennessee Teacher of the Year. A first grade teacher in the Franklin Special School District in Franklin, Tenn., Miller says one of the most rewarding parts of her job is celebrating her students’ successes. “I love celebrating the kids’ successes when they learn to believe in themselves,” she says. “Their successes are my successes.” As Tennessee Teacher of the Year, Miller will travel to school districts across the state to inspire, motivate and encourage other educators. That’s an honor, the 20-year teaching veteran says. “[Winning Tennessee Teacher of the Year] was just amazing,” Miller says. “That’s a big deal that means my peers chose me to represent them. I thought, ‘This is it, this is the platform God has given me.’” Learn more at trevecca.edu/TeacherOfTheYear.

To be more, we must become less. That’s why servant leadership is a key component of a Trevecca education from the undergraduate level to our graduate and doctoral degrees. Our students and alumni lead with excellence, skill and compassion.

TO BE L E A D E R S Majoring in religion/pastoral ministry, Emma Duke says her goal is to “teach the truth that the world is so desperately needing and to make Jesus famous.” Duke says receiving the Kyle Funke Memorial Scholarship made it possible for her to become the first person in her family to go to college, something that was in peril after her mother’s battle with leukemia. Peter and Tina Funke endowed the scholarship in memory of their son, Kyle, who battled brain cancer as a Trevecca student. The scholarship provides funds to students who desire to attend Trevecca while they or family members are struggling with a life-threatening illness. Learn more about Kyle at Trevecca.edu/Kyle. 22

Enterprising

Spirit

Through it all, Kent says she’s been able to apply the principles she’s learned in her classes in the Skinner School of Business and Technology. “When I first started my Etsy page, I was taking Introduction to Entrepreneurship with Dean Diehl,” Kent said. “We talked about what it takes to start a business and what each business model entails and then I’ve been able to apply those. Accounting has helped a lot. It was my most dreaded class, but it was also really helpful because it made the whole tax side of [running my own business] a lot easier.” That entrepreneurial spirit also influenced Trevecca’s Skinner School of Business and Technology’s recent decision to launch an entrepreneurship program. Dean Diehl, director of Trevecca’s music business program, will also direct the new program.

Because Trevecca seeks to develop leaders, an enterprising, entrepreneurial spirit has long been a part of who we are. That desire to seek out change, ask tough questions, find new ideas and make the world a better place has characterized the University since J.O. McClurkan first established his pastor’s class. Today, we see that spirit in Trevecca senior Britney Kent. A full-time student majoring in music business, Kent has been running her own online embroidery business since 2016. Through her Etsy shop, Thistle and Leaves, Kent creates and sells embroidery pieces she’s designed and

“One out of four high school graduates says they want to own their own business someday,” Diehl says. “We want Trevecca to be a place where students get both the education and the experience to make that dream a reality.” To learn more about Kent and her business, visit Trevecca.edu/Britney. Learn more about Trevecca’s new entrepreneurship program at Trevecca.edu/entrepreneurship.

“I define the entrepreneurial mindset as ‘seeing the world through a lens of opportunity.’ To see the world through a lens of opportunity includes the opportunity to bring justice where there is none and to bring hope where hope is hard to find.” —Dean Diehl, director of Trevecca’s entrepreneurship program

Leading by Example Strong leaders need strong mentors—something Trevecca values and encourages. Our faculty members are more than lecturers; they’re mentors who challenge and invest in the lives of their students, sharing knowledge they’ve learned on the field and in the industry. Here, leaders become teachers and spend their days developing leaders. Dr. Rick Mann is one of those leaders. The director of Trevecca’s MBA program, Mann has led the way as Trevecca’s graduate business programs have experienced exponential growth, more than doubling in enrollment from 2011 to 2018. In 2019, Mann says the MBA will add a new data analytics concentration as well as expand to Trevecca’s two Atlanta locations. In addition, the University also plans to add a new Doctorate of Business Administration program in the fall. Mann, who has previously served as a college president and currently runs his own boutique consulting business, says Trevecca’s graduate business programs are growing because of the dual emphasis on academic rigor and affordability. “I think we offer an industry-strength program that is the best value in the region,” Mann says. “Trevecca is booming because we provide a solid product at an affordable price.” Read more about Mann and Trevecca’s graduate business programs at trevecca.edu/RickMann.

In 2011, MBA students comprised only 8.4 percent of Trevecca’s total graduate student enrollment but now represent nearly one-quarter of graduate students. From Fall 2017 to Fall 2018, Trevecca’s graduate business program is the second fastest growing business program in the state of Tennessee, behind the University of Tennessee at Knoxville’s Haslam College of Business.

At Trevecca, we want to be rather than to seem. We want to offer more in a world that settles for less. Trevecca has grown so much from our humble beginnings, and your continued support has helped us to do so. “More” is where we’re headed—and we’ll need your help to get there.

For junior Jonathan W. Smith, music education is a calling. “I orginally wasn’t planning to major in music education, but [in the] spring of my senior year of high school, I felt called to teach music to high schoolers.” Smith says the Susie Van Hook Scholarship will help him achieve his career goal: designing a homeschool music curriculum. Jim Van Hook, ’63, endowed the scholarship in memory of his late wife, Susie, who devoted her career to education. “Susie genuinely loved Trevecca,” he says. “Getting to go to college meant a lot to her. She didn’t have much support [from her family].” For the Van Hook family, the scholarship is a way to honor Susie’s memory and devotion to teaching, which became a ministry for her. “We’re looking for students in similar situations to Susie,” Van Hook says. “If we can encourage a student—we know how much that would have meant to Susie.” Learn more about Susie Van Hook and the scholarship that bears her name at Trevecca.edu/Susie.

W h at the Future Hol ds It’s been a historic year for Trevecca. U.S. News & World Report ranked Trevecca as a national university in the annual “2019 America’s Guide to Colleges,” making the University the only Nazarene institution to receive the national ranking. Notable alumni Josh Durham (’17) was named Nashville NEXT’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year and listed among Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list for social entrepreneurs. Two-time Trevecca graduate and well-known former Tennessee Titan, Kevin Dyson became Dr. Dyson, graduating from Trevecca with his doctorate in leadership and professional practice, something he has called “a greater personal accomplishment than being selected in the first round of the National Football League.” The University celebrated the fifth consecutive year of enrollment growth in 2018, topping 2017’s record enrollment of 3,620 by more than 300 students. According to net student data compiled and released by the Nashville Business Journal, Trevecca is the fastest growing four-year higher education institution in the Middle Tennessee area. 2018 also marked the opening of the Flats at Walden Grove, a 126-unit Universityowned apartment development adjacent to campus with 100 percent occupancy. In November 2018, Trevecca received the largest gift in University history. The donors, who wish to remain anonymous, funded the private family foundation with the expectation that an estimated $1 million per year will be distributed to Trevecca beginning in 2019. This annual distribution, established in perpetuity, will benefit the University for years and is expected to be the equivalent of the yield from a $20 million gift. The generous support of philanthropists such as Wendel and Judy Nixon, Michael and Mary Spalding, Don and Zelma Waggoner and Sarah, John and Susan Dunn among others have lifted Trevecca to new heights by their capacity-expanding gifts. So, where do we go from here? University officials are in the process of developing plans for new student housing options, the first since Benson Hall was completed in the early 1970s. Next year, Trevecca will offer a new doctoral program, the Doctorate of Business Administration. Plans continue for programs, places and spaces that help our students and alumni achieve their dreams and our goal of being more in a world that settles for less. 31 TO BE MORE
