it all figured as a Democratic hoax. About latent racism in the church board election. About women preachers. About the emerging church.

We stay quiet because Christians disagree about these things. And the younger generation watching us stays quiet, too. Sadly, they may never hear a caring, thoughtful conversation on these topics between Christians of different perspectives. And when all they hear is opinionated posturing, how can they mature?

We prefer a theology that answers to everything difficult with one quick trip to the altar followed by a testimony of resolution and conformity. We want to be made to feel better quickly, not to be taken into the bowels of difficulty. Life is hard enough without adding controversy to discipleship.

I am in my twenty-fifth year of service to Christ on a Christian college campus–twenty as a pastor, five as a college president. The generation now in college demands a conversation on ethical issues. And members of this generation will not sit still for long lectures without an invitation to converse. They have thought about these things. They are embroiled in these issues. And they are not arrogant. They are willing to hear wise counsel and informed opinion. And, lacking it, they will leave the church in search of a community where honest discourse is practiced.

One of the means of grace, according to John Wesley, is holy conversation. It is the practice of Spirit-guided listening to one another, discerning the ways of God, consulting Scripture, using our God-given reason, respecting the value of time-honored tradition, and speaking truthfully without fear of reprisal. In this atmosphere saints are made. I have belonged to a few communities like this. Trevecca Nazarene University is one of them.

W hen it comes to issues of complexity and

controversy, most persons choose reflective silence. Those who dive into the deep end of this pool risk their reputations. When multiple opinions exist, sharks wait for foolish divers who know no better than to jackknife into human disagreement.

So we stay quiet. About the young teen whom everyone suspects to be homosexually oriented. About the blue state/red state divide that politicizes geography. About social drinking in churches devoted to total abstinence. About creation theories in a world of scientific discovery. About end-of-the-world scenarios when a resident apocalyptic expert is present. About premarital sex when the couple about to be wed at the church altar are living together. About the use of religious power to extort money from soft-hearted people. About global warming when the radical radio guys have

On CampusCity officials called it the “thousand-year flood.” City historians said that the damages left by the May 2 flood in Nashville were the worst since the Civil War. Public schools in Middle Tennessee were closed for a week. Public transportation was

discontinued; floods (and later debris) shut down major traffic arteries in the city. Opryland Hotel staff had to evacuate guests, and the hotel, Opry Mills, and the Opry House remain closed—perhaps until the end of the year. One of the city’s water treatment plants was submerged. In June Nashville residents still conserved water until that plant could be put back into operation.

TheNashvilleflood—Adisasterralliesacommunity

In the world of national news, the flooding of Nashville was overshadowed by a terrorist attempt in Times Square and the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Many Americans were not aware of Nashville’s serious situation.

Whole neighborhoods were under water—some had never before had flooding problems. Three families in the University community lost their homes: former president HomerAdams’47 and his wife, Beatrice’43; DarlaSansomMHR’06; and TyTabernikMHR’00/MBA’05. Fourteen other Trevecca employees’ homes had storm damage.

Trevecca did not go unscathed by the flood. Even though residence halls and many buildings escaped damage, four classroom/office buildings lost electrical power, and the building that housed plant operations and the print shop sustained significant damage; the print shop was a complete loss. Plant operations staff brought in generators and made buildings usable, but three of those buildings suffered major damage to their wiring, damages that were not fully repaired for almost a month.

May 3 was the first day of exams at Trevecca, but the day’s exams were rescheduled for Thursday because many students and professors were unable to get to the campus. Throughout that week many students used their free time to volunteer wherever community agencies needed them.

With commencement scheduled for Saturday, May 8, University employees were needed on campus in order to prepare for that event; however, on Monday, May 10, the Cabinet encouraged all full-time employees to take time off with pay and work in the relief efforts.

Since May 2, Nashvillians have learned much about their own resiliency, what’s really important in life, how much neighbors care, and what the word community really means.

Student-runrecordlabelpremierestwonewartistsTrevecca’s student-run record label, Terebinth Artist Services, premiered two brand-new artists at the Music City Roadhouse Tent during Top Nazarene Talent at Trevecca (TNT@TNU), Keenan Hunter and Haley Stinson.

Terebinth, founded by DeanDiehl’87, director of Trevecca’s Music Business Program, selected Trevecca students Hunter and Stinson, from applicants who showcased their original material to the label members. Students working with the label develop each artist’s live performance and create supporting materials, such as song demos, Web sites, social networking pages, and press kits—real life music business work. Members of the label are Michael Hare, Rachel Grice, Andy Robison, Erica Bengston, Maia Zaykova, Holly Deischer, Jeanine Beckle, and Berry Hampton.

“Inspiring students in a traditional classroom setting can be difficult, but when a student watches an artist that he or she has helped develop take the stage and put on a great performance—that is inspiring!” comments Diehl.

For more information about Terebinth Artist Services or Trevecca’s Music Business Program, contact Diehl at [email protected].

A partnership of students in the Social Justice and Journalism Programs has resulted in the publication of Micah Mandate, a print and online magazine that reports how persons at Trevecca are working as agents of change in the community. A year in development, Micah Mandate was planned as a way for social justice students to raise awareness of social justice issues, a way for journalism students to gain real-world experience, and as a recruitment tool for both programs.

Students in the Magazine and Feature Writing Class provided the content. Rachel Swann, a rising senior from Cross Plains, Tennessee, is the student editor. RachelBrenneman’10, a graphic design major from Graham, North Carolina, designed the Web site, the layout, and the logo for the print publication.

The online version, launched April 27, is available at http://www.micahmandate.com. Future plans call for students to produce a new edition each semester.

The Physician Assistant Class of 2011 was awarded a $2,500 grant from the Physician Assistant Foundation for its project, “Neighbors in Need—PA Students Promoting Community Health and Wellness.” Students conducted creative educational seminars on basic health issues and successful navigation of the healthcare system at Mercury Courts, a local Urban Housing Solutions community specializing in transitional housing for the chronically homeless.

Seminars included “Centsible Meals: Eating Healthy on a Food Stamp Budget” and “How to Kick Butts: Tools to Help You Stop Smoking.” Trevecca’s physician assistant students also planned and participated in semiannual health fairs to increase health awareness and conduct health screenings in Mercury Courts.

When awarding the grant, the president of the Physician Assistant Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA), noted how this project matches the Foundation’s mission to develop and allocate resources that empower the physician assistant profession to impact the health and wellness of communities it serves. “We are so pleased with the various activities the Trevecca Physician Assistant students have implemented and planned throughout the year. Their creative abilities and passion to seek out appropriate health care solutions to improve the lives of many in a neighboring community in need should be commended and supported by others,” said Agnes Compagnone, RPA-C*, president, PA Foundation.

A small side event became a big viral news story earlier this year when Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, was the keynote speaker at the annual meeting of the Nashville Technology Council on Trevecca’s campus. When he was introduced to Ballmer, an enterprising student held out his Apple Mac and asked Ballmer to autograph it. Ballmer good-naturedly responded, writing his name and the words “Want a new one?” across the Apple logo. The video clip of that encounter, posted on YouTube, was soon going around the world. As of early June, 670,000 persons had viewed that video. You can view the video by visiting www.youtube.com/trevecca and clicking on “Favorites.”

On Sunday the choir split into two groups of 35 members, and groups participated in morning and evening services in Haitian churches. Monday was a recreation day before the choir headed back to the campus on Tuesday.

John Ray, choir director, was proud of the ministry of choir members: “This was one of the most successful choir tours to churches I have ever had the privilege of leading. Our Trevecca students were outstanding ambassadors, both musically and spiritually. They adapted to every challenge and did Trevecca proud!”

Swann, and Morgan Daniels. Hunnicutt,

Wadding, Swann, and Daniels are

Trevecca’s first full journalism majors.

The Journalism Program, started in the fall of 2008 and led by adjunct professor Jo Ellen Werking Weedman, has been pioneered by a group of about six students who have helped launch an online social justice magazine as well as an online version of the student newspaper.

In February, an online journalism course designed the TrevechoesOnline. The multimedia weblog allows students to post news stories, along with pictures, video, and audio, as events happen on campus. The same students wrote nearly all of the content for the Micah Mandate, the new magazine of the J. V. Morsch Center for Social Justice. In a magazine and feature writing class in the fall of 2009, students spent hours with people and organizations in Nashville working on social justice issues in the city.Their stories are highlighted in the online version of the magazine at www.micahmandate.com as well as in a print magazine published by the Center for Social Justice in the spring.

“This first core group of students has helped kick off the journalism program in a big way,” Weedman said. “They’ve helped lay a foundation of excellent publications that the program can continue building on.”

The journalism program also works closely with the Washington Journalism Center (WJC), a semester-long journalism program in Washington, D. C., offered by the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities.

Rising senior Morgan Daniels earned sixteen hours of credit at the program in the fall of 2009, and rising junior Shadaye Hunnicutt has been accepted to WJC for the fall 2010 semester. Daniels said her training at Trevecca and WJC has helped her understand that Christians can and should work in mainstream media.

“The class work and internships these students do in D. C. means that they return to campus with the experience to continue making the student newspaper a more significant and professional publication for the campus community,” Weedman said.

“For me, the best part has been rediscovering my passion for stories and storytelling that I’ve had my entire life,” said rising senior Rachel Swann, editor of the Micah Mandate. “I love finding stories in our community that usually don’t get told.”

The Department of Communication offers a journalism emphasis in the mass communication degree as well as a journalism minor. The sixteen-hour program includes courses in news writing, feature writing, history and ethics, and online journalism. For more information contact Weedman at [email protected].

By Rachel Swann*

It is an unusual partnership: a former college president and two Boy Scouts. But this partnership is helping persons a few generations apart reach goals that benefit each one.

Beginning with his years as president of Trevecca (1979-1991), HomerAdams’47 has worked to have one of every tree native to Tennessee growing on Trevecca’s campus. Lucas Wallace and Bennett Caldwell, two Boy Scouts, wanted to become Eagle Scouts. These three began a project to help Trevecca become a Tennessee arboretum site, recognition of Trevecca’s campus as a living museum of nature because of the trees and plant life which grow there.

DavidCaldwell’84, Scout troop leader and Trevecca’s executive vice president for finance and administration, instigated the partnership. David had learned that Chris Farrell, Trevecca science professor, had found a map of Trevecca’s trees compiled by the late JerryCosta’54, former Trevecca professor of art and Spanish, for his 1970 master’s thesis at Peabody College in Nashville. He also knew that Wallace, a member of his Scout troop, was looking for a project to complete his Eagle Scout rank. David suggested that Wallace help Adams realize his dream.

Questtobecomearboretumbringsgenerationstogether

Wallace was running out of time to complete the requirements for the Eagle Scout rank before his eighteenth birthday on May 1, when he would become too old to be in the Boy Scouts. He took David’s suggestion and met with Adams, JohnDix’49 (Trevecca professor of biology from 1960 to 1993), and Farrell, who shared their knowledge about campus trees. “The day was pretty awesome because I realized they have probably forgotten more about trees than I know,” Wallace said. Since the time of Costa’s map, some trees had been removed in order to make way for campus projects. Using Costa’s map and his knowledge of types of trees, Dr. Adams determined that Trevecca needs fourteen trees in order to have at least one of every tree indigenous to Tennessee on its campus.

Wallace then updated the map and contacted nurseries to locate the missing fourteen types of trees. Trevecca can then purchase the trees and plant them on the campus.

Wallace met his goal and became an Eagle Scout, but the project is not completed. Bennett Caldwell, David’s son, started his Eagle Scout project in late May; his goal is to work with Trevecca to acquire the fourteen trees that the campus is missing, label all of the trees on

Trevecca’s2009-2010theatreseasoninreview

The theme for Trevecca’s past theatre season, “Finding Your Bearings,” hinted at more than simply the routine definition of academic success in the University. Typically,

for college students, academic success involves carefully pursuing a professional goal, developing appropriate understanding and skills in specific disciplines, and moving forward into a strong career

path for the future after graduation.

Going above and beyond these familiar expectations, however, Trevecca continues to focus on leading students into an active and authentic sense of God’s calling for their lives. To represent this call into leadership and service metaphorically through the art of

theatre, the Department of Communication Studies chose a season of productions for the 2009-2010 academic year to reflect the notion of calling and the challenges that come with it.

The fall musical, Seussical, had record crowds during Homecoming, including a sold-out closing performance, and was shared during morning matinees with more than 1,400 elementary school children from the Nashville area, as well as neighboring Sumner, Wilson, Rutherford, Montgomery, and Bedford Counties. School matinees of Seussical brought more “prospective students” to campus this year than any other event, except TNT @ TNU. The musical combines the stories of several well-known characters from Dr. Seuss’s books, concentrating mostly on the interwoven journeys of Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, and Jojo. In the most infectious and playful ways, the songs and action follow these characters’

individual struggles to recognize exactly who they are, what their roles are in the larger world, and why they are led in the direction they go.

In the winter Tennessee Williams’s sobering masterpiece The Glass Menagerie was uniquely presented intimately in-the-round, again including a sold-out performance. The celebrated play highlights some of the most difficult days for the Wingfield family, especially for the disenchanted Tom, who struggles between truly caring for his unbearable mother and reclusive sister and searching for independence and his own direction in the world.

Closing the season, On the Verge chronicles the mirthful safari of three intrepid Victorian lady explorers in their search for self-discovery, love, and healing. Unexpectedly time-traveling

from the nineteenth into the twentieth century and encountering curious artifacts and peculiar people along the way, the women embark upon a multimedia adventure that leads them to a greater understanding of themselves and of the time(s) in which they live.

The theatre and film programs at Trevecca engage students who deeply believe in the basic human need for and the inherent power in storytelling, both on stage and on screen. They believe that such stories reflect God’s greater story, which includes individual journeys.

campus, create a walking map of the campus, and apply for Trevecca to become a registered arboretum site. After both projects are complete, the new map should list seventy to seventy-five different species of trees on Trevecca’s campus.

This partnership of four males from different generations will result in a significant and long-lasting gift to Trevecca. “We’re not aware of any other place in Tennessee that has every tree native to the state,” David said. “[Being a national arboretum site] will beautify the school and be an ongoing marketing tool to create awareness for the campus.”

The Trojan softball team, ranked No. 17 in the final NAIA poll, won the TranSouth Conference regular season title, the TranSouth Tournament, and advanced to the NAIA Championships, despite be-ing picked fifth in the conference preseason coaches’ poll. The wom-en won their “pool” with a 3-0 record, including an upset of No. 2 Lee University, and then they advanced to the final eight-team double-elimination championship bracket. The Trojans’ surprising season ended there with a pair of losses.

Trevecca now has five (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010) regular season TranSouth Conference Championships and four (2006, 2007, 2008, 2010) TranSouth Tournament Championships. Trevecca and Union are now tied for the most TranSouth Tourna-ment titles with four.

NAIA No. 19 Trevecca upset William Woods in the tournament opener and advanced to the round of 16 at the 2010 NAIA Women’s Basketball Division 1 National Championships at Oman Arena in Jackson, Tennes-see. The team was eliminated in round 16 by fifth-ranked Campbells-ville.

Trevecca has now appeared in one NAIA Championship (2008) game, three Elite 8 (2005, 2006, 2007) games, and two Sweet 16 (2000, 2010) games.

The women wrote other history this season. Monica West hit a Tran-South-leading 16 home runs. Kelsey Lantrip was named the 2010 Tran-South Newcomer of the Year and coach Ben Tyree was named Coach of the Year. Five Trojans made the 2010 All-TranSouth First Team and another made the second team. Trevecca pitchers earned the TranSouth Pitcher of the Week award four times, and five players were named Play-er of the Week in the TranSouth. Trevecca hit a school-record 71 home runs this season.

Trojan TalkBaseball season reviewThe Trojan baseball team featured 22 new faces for second-year head coach Jonathan Burton, but one of the holdovers was 2009 NAIA First Team All-American and TranSouth Player of the Year Tim Dunn.

After a 2-5 start, the team went 15-2 in their next 17 games. The season turned when Tim Dunn suffered a season-ending injury in the confer-ence opener at Bethel University. The Trojans were 19-9 and on the cusp of making the NAIA Top 25 but never fully recovered from Dunn’s loss. The Trojans finished the season 10-14 for a final 29-23 record. Even so, the Trojans had two more wins against ranked teams and were 9-10 ver-sus ranked teams, 4-6 versus NAIA World Series participants.

Women’s golf season reviewTrevecca’s women’s golf team began with the season with a second-place finish (of 10) at the Malone (Ohio) Tournament; then at the Trevecca Invitational the Trojans finished fourth, and Betsy Beaver was sixth individually. Trevecca’s five-year reign over the TranSouth ended with a second-place finish.

Beaver was seventh at the Mobile (Ala.) Classic, made the All-TranSouth Team with a fifth-place finish at the TranSouth Tournament, and was the tenth NAIA Unaffiliated National Tournament Qualifier.

Men’s golf season reviewThe men’s golf season produced great success, both team and individual. Joey Bradley (Lindsey Wilson Classic, Trevecca/Martin Methodist Challenge) and David Saldana (Union Invitational) combined to fin-ish as tournament medalists this year. Bradley was also third at the Bill Sergeant Classic, only one shot off the lead, and fourth at the Trevecca Invitational, held at the Old Hickory Country Club.

Trevecca defeated Union University in a Ryder Cup-style match for the first-ever Greystone Cup, won the Trevecca/Martin Methodist Challenge, and was second at the Lindsey Wilson Classic. Trevecca was third at the TranSouth Tournament. Bradley and Saldana finished tied for second place, only three shots behind the med-alist.

WhatisTrevecca’salumniparticipationrate?In the 2009-2010 fiscal year, it was 6.7%. With fewer than thirty days remaining on this fiscal year, the rate is 5%.

Whatisthenationalaverageforalumniparticipationingiving?The average varies among types of institutions; those who are similar in size and mission typically have a rate of approximately 17%.

Whyisthisrateimportant?Outside agencies that decide rankings and accreditations look at this rate in their evaluations of Trevecca. Not only is this rate important to Trevecca for these reasons, but it’s important to Trevecca alumni. As Trevecca gains prestige and recognition, so will your degree.

DoIhavetogivealotofmoneytobecountedasadonor?We encourage alumni to give back what they can. For some, “what they can give” is $5 or $25; for others, it is significantly more. All alumni who give, regardless of the amount, are counted in this rate.

WhatprojectscanIsupport?Gifts to the Trevecca Annual Fund are always welcomed. However, if you would like to designate your gift to another area, Trevecca has many projects that might spark your interest.

During recent years Trevecca accounting graduates have found success at Healthcare Corporation of America (HCA, the nation’s leading provider of healthcare services, located in Nashville). Because competition for jobs at HCA is aggresive, landing a job at HCA is considered quite an achievement.

Amy BoltonWheeler’04, an accounting graduate, began working for HCA in the internal auditing department, was later asked to become the assistant controller at Centennial Medical Center in Nashville, and was recently promoted to the controller’s position.

Two alumni of the School of Business returned to campus to speak to current business students. MikeMiranne’87, an investment manager, spoke in the School of Business’s student chapel. It was his second time to speak to students in three years. StanJones’95, a special agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration, spoke to the Internal Auditing class about how accountants can put their skills to work combating drug trafficking and money laundering.

SharingsuccesswithothergraduatesEven with her busy schedule, Amy took time to visit Trevecca and helped StephenBearden’06 obtain a position in the internal auditing department. Like Amy,

Stephen was more than willing to help Trevecca graduates and students obtain positions with HCA. Several more recent Trevecca graduates have benefited from Amy’s and Stephen’s willingness to give back. ChadUram’07,AaronCrum’08,DerekHenrichs’09, and KyleDavis’11 have recently found employment at HCA. Kyle, still a full-time student, was able to commit his spring semester to a full-time internship opportunity that came about after Stephen and Chad spoke to an accounting

class in the fall. Additionally, GonzaloElorza’05, who started his career in a coveted position at the international accounting firm Deloitte, recently joined the HCA internal auditing team.

Dana, Melissa, and I were student conductors in college, and the way he conducted was amazing. What we learned will directly influence our music; my musical compositions, Melissa’s music teaching, and Dana’s teaching and worship-service leading,” Timbre explained.

Three Trevecca alumnae and former Madrigalians—MelissaEick’05,DanaHenderson’07, and TimbreCierpke’05—had their musical dreams come true when they sang at Carnegie Hall in New York City with world-famous composer Eric Whitacre on April 17, 2010.

When Whitacre announced auditions for the world performance of his new choral composition, the three women sent an audition recording. The next day they were invited to sing, and as a result of an open audition via YouTube, Timbre was chosen from several hundred applicants to sing the solo in the
