WE ARE HERE FOR THIS They said he couldn’t do college work: His dyslexia would make him a drop-out; the rigorous challenge would be too much for him; he would waste his money chasing a dream that could not come true. Meet Mark Foster. In his own words, “I was in high school before I fully understood how bad my dyslexia was, and although I felt supported and worked hard in high school, no one ever encouraged me even to think about going to college.” Through a series of providential relationships, Mark came to Trevecca to play intercollegiate soccer. His academic challenges quickly introduced him to Trevecca’s academic support personnel. About the time Mark was coming to Trevecca, the administration made a strategic decision to centralize all student-support services in the Center for Leadership, Calling, and Service (CLCS). The director of CLCS is Tom Middendorf ’99, an inspiring young leader with a doctoral degree in mentoring. Middendorf and his staff are servants who help Trevecca students achieve their dream of a college education. Mark’s mentors in the CLCS, Amy Murphy MA ’08 and Jeff Swink ’70, dedicated themselves to helping this Irish soccer player become a successful college student. “I found all of the Trevecca professors were openminded about my learning disability and willing to support my academic needs,” Mark said. He became a leader on the soccer team, met his future wife (Jessica Leary ’08), and fell in love with the mission of the University and the God who inspired that mission. On May 2, 2009, I handed Mark Foster his college diploma, and last summer Mark became the head coach of the Trevecca Women’s Soccer Program. Last year, I and 170 Trevecca student-athletes attended a meeting in which Mark shared the story of his journey. From Ireland and dyslexia to a college degree and a coaching position. From casual belief in a deity to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As I stood in the back of the room and recalled Mark’s challenging journey, I brushed away tears. CLCS and Trevecca are here for this kind of transformation.

CLCS at the Center of Student Success
W
hen new students arrive at Trevecca, they join a team of people who are already working to ensure that those students achieve success in college—emotional, physical, spiritual, and academic success. The specialists who make up the Center for Leadership, Calling, and Service (CLCS) team are intentional about the holistic development of students, intentional about providing an environment that is conducive to the development of a special kind of community on Trevecca’s campus, intentional about meeting students’ different developmental needs, and intentional about helping students find the academic discipline that will help them find a gratifying career.
Treveccan Spring 2014
“I often describe the work of CLCS as giving students two sets of tools: first, the tools they need in order to navigate the college years, from orientation to graduation; second, the tools they need to develop holistically,” explains Tom Middendorf, director of CLCS. Trevecca students acquire those sets of “tools” when they participate in CLCS workshops, classes, and programs, all based on research about the specific, unique needs of students as they move through the four years of college. (See information bar at the top of p. 6.) Using that research, CLCS develops and executes activities to help students accomplish the main tasks for each year of their development.

3rd YEAR Vocational Experience & Engagement
FRESHMEN The main needs of college freshmen are assimilation and exploration. If they are going to have a successful first year of college (and a successful four years in college), they must become assimilated into the college community, adjust to new academic expectations, and learn about themselves and their abilities in preparation for decisions about vocation. The CLCS staff wastes no time in helping incoming freshmen start their assimilation process. The summer orientation event includes many events that help freshmen meet classmates and faculty members and begin making friends. On their first full day on campus in the fall, freshmen participate in Leap Day, an event that includes team-building exercises and fun activities. Before classes start, teams of freshmen devote one day doing community service in Nashville. Throughout the semester freshmen can attend many friend-making events. All freshmen take Life Calling and Purpose, the freshman seminar course, in which they take several assessments (College Student Inventory/ CSI and Myers-Briggs Type-Indicator/MBTI) to learn about their strengths, interests, and personality types. Student Success Workshops and other events help freshmen understand themselves and increase their engagement with their new university community.

SOPHOMORES College sophomores need opportunities for connection and confirmation of their career plans; on the other hand, they are also prone to the “sophomore slump” and disillusionment, and it is not uncommon for sophomores to change their major. CLCS helps them solidify their career path and major, find success in their search for meaning and purpose, achieve civic engagement or service, and gain leadership experience. CLCS personnel address these needs of sophomores by providing programs which include more in-depth activities related to vocation and career planning with leadership development opportunities. CLCS staff members offer sophomores Student Success Series Workshops, individual vocational counseling, and continued exploration of their strengths, MBTI results, and career-interest inventories. Other programs for sophomores mix learning with fun, travel, or food: the Sophomore Retreat, the Sophomore TAG Trip (a mission-focused experience), the Soph-Serve Program, the Half-Way to Graduation Celebration, and Major Mentor Coffee Chats with Faculty.

ABBA JAVA
12
Treveccan Spring 2014
The aroma is the first thing you notice when you open the door. The unmistakable smell of dark, rich coffee. You navigate the lobby; step down into the cozy lounge area and make your way past the group sitting on the leather sofa, studying while they sip tall lattés; and take your position in the line at the counter. You have succumbed to the lure of Abba Java, Trevecca’s coffee shop. That lure is intentional. Abba Java is intended to be a warm, inviting place where “community happens”—a physical part of the Center for Leadership, Calling, and Service that encourages friendship, conversation, fellowship, study, and bonding. And the person charged with fulfilling that goal is James “Ryan” Jolley, the manager of Abba Java. Ryan says his job is a ministry that involves more than serving coffee. For Ryan, ministry is intentional. A licensed minister in the Church of the Nazarene and a religion major at Trevecca, he serves on the staff of Trinity Church of the Nazarene and leads Trinity’s Saturday afternoon Word and Table service, an effort by the church to
meet the needs of its neighbors who must miss the Sunday morning service because of their work. This service is organized and led by twenty-somethings. Ministry is also part of Ryan’s job in Abba Java. In addition to supervising Trevecca students who work in Abba Java, Ryan also trains high school students in Metro-Nashville Public Schools’ Vision Program, students who are legally blind or who have other disabilities, such as cerebral palsy. For the past three years, selected students from the Vision Pogram have been interns at Abba Java, under Ryan’s supervision with a Vision teacher present.
Treveccan Spring 2014
THE IMPACT OF A TEACHER Ryan became a Christian because a public school teacher took an interest in his family. That teacher, Wendell Poole ’61, first taught Ryan’s sister and later taught Ryan in the fourth grade, the period when Ryan lost his eyesight. Wendell invited Ryan and his family to Hermitage Church of the Nazarene, and the Jolleys became part of that church family. Ryan gave his heart to the Lord at summer camp, and Howard Plummer ’74, pastor of Hermitage Church of the Nazarene, baptized him. “Wendell and JoAnn Hennigan Poole ’62 provided the big ‘hug’ my family needed, helped us through the untimely death of my father, and led me to faith, a church, and Trevecca,” Ryan recounted.
. . . AND THE SIGNS CAME DOWN Last August, when a group of Trevecca freshmen worked at Trinity Church of the Nazarene during Freshman Service Day, one of CLCS’s programs for incoming freshmen, they paused their work at the church and took time to clean around the abandoned house across the street from the church. This neighborhood eyesore had prompted protests from neighbors, and one irate neighbor had posted signs on the property in an effort to get action from the city councilman from that area. But nothing had happened—at least not until those Trevecca freshmen took action. When that irate neighbor saw the improvements made by the Trevecca students, he delivered water bottles to them and thanked them for their hard work, and then he took down the signs. “Those students did not realize the real impact of their acts of service. That irate neighbor soon visited Trinity Church of the Nazarene and now is a regular part of the services,” explained Ryan Jolley, associate pastor at Trinity Church.

“I treat them as regular Abba Java employees because my big goal is to break down their fear of a world that has not been modified for their disability. They take and fill orders and learn to be comfortable with customers and the CLCS staff. As they work, I help them identify what they have to do in order to modify the work environment. For instance, they make Braille labels for the supplies we use in the coffee shop,” explains Ryan.
Ryan understands them, their vulnerability, the fact that their disability means that they lack the power of knowledge. Ryan is one of them—legally blind as a result of juvenile macular degeneration, an inherited condition that manifested itself when he was 10 years of age and in the fourth grade. He can tell them what they need to do to succeed at college—how to work with a college’s office of disability services, how to obtain the equipment needed to access textbooks and other materials, and how to succeed in spite of a disability.
“Abba Java is the most popular place on campus.”
He has an even bigger goal: -a Trevecca freshman to teach them that they too “I believe that my job is to equip others CAN go to college, that they with the tools to help them succeed,” can navigate a college campus. Ryan noted. “At church I try to help others To accomplish that goal, Ryan has recognize and use their gifts, so I ask them to them take orders for coffee events preach or serve in other ways. At Abba Java I work on campus and deliver and set up the coffee to help others—sighted and sight-limited—learn service at the event. “They learn to ask directions, communication skills and management techniques. I locate buildings on campus, and navigate this think that giving others the tools for life is part of the campus. They can learn those lessons here because communal nature of Kingdom life.” Trevecca is a safe environment for them to gain that experience,” he adds.
