MessageFrom the President
The Rev. Marvin A. McMickle, Ph.D.
There are many exciting changes going on at CRCDS. I would like to share a few of them with you here:
� This April, we inaugurated a new week of lec-tures, reflection and worship. We hope thatby hosting the lectures in a condensed, one-week format, more of our alumni, alumnaeand friends will take advantage of this uniqueopportunity for renewal. Another week of lec-tures, worship and reflection will take place onthe Hill this coming October.
� In the fall of 2013, we will implement a newcurriculum focused on providing students withthe specific skills necessary to meet the veryreal challenges of ministry and leadership intoday’s world. A complete overview of thenew curriculum will be included in the nextissue of The Bulletin. The faculty and I areexcited about this new direction of our aca-demic core and its positive impact on thefuture of church leadership in our country. Weare looking forward to hearing your responseto it as well.
� We will also be offering a new D.Min. concen-tration in Methodist / Wesleyan Studies forUnited Methodist students beginning inJanuary 2014.
� In response to the growing need to bring thework of CRCDS to new locations, CRCDS willbe offering courses in Buffalo, New York, start-ing in the Fall of 2013. Our plan calls for anincreased presence not only in Buffalo, but inthe Syracuse, New York, region as well. Thiswill help solidify our regional presence andhelp us increase our overall enrollment.
Dear Alumni/ae and Friends of Colgate Rochester Crozer DivinitySchool (CRCDS),
Blessings and peace to you in this New Year. With theseason of Lent now behind us, I pray your relationshipwith the risen Christ deepens and that your Easter journeywas filled with the joy and fullness of the love of God.
I recently celebrated my one year anniversary as full-timePresident of CRCDS. Over the course of this year, I havemet so many friends of CRCDS, both new and old, andnumerous alumni and alumnae. In their graciousness,exhibited in expressions of gratitude for my leadership, Ifind great hope for both the present and future of CRCDSand enthusiastic support for the unique education andpreparation that the CRCDS experience provides. Iremain ever grateful for the opportunity to lead thisschool, now in its 196th year, as it continues to answerGod’s call to serve by preparing courageous leaders.Please continue to pray for us as we continue to meet thechallenges of the 21st century.
This truly is a new day at CRCDS! We are prayerfullycharting a new course rooted in the biblical mandate forjustice and mercy, a course that answers God’s call toprepare competent and prophetic leaders who engagetoday’s issues head on. Our graduates are educated tospeak truth to power, while remaining always with “theleast of these.” They inherit a world of unprecedentedcomplexity at a time when the pace of change in ourchurches and communities continues to stretch all of ourresources. Now, more than ever, the worldneeds CRCDS graduates. Thank you formaking their education possible.

� This January, we welcomed twelve veterans tothe CRCDS campus as part of our collabora-tion with the Veterans Outreach Center. Thiscollaboration provides permanent housing forveterans who have experienced difficultyassimilating back into society after the termsof their service are completed. Not only doesthis provide the School with revenue to supportits mission, it also provides our students withan additional opportunity to learn to ministerto those in need. The collaboration also servesas a concrete example to our students of howthis institution answers the Gospel call.
The 2011-2012 Colgate Rochester Crozer DivinitySchool Annual Report is an opportunity for all of usengaged in the vital work of CRCDS to publicly thank you and all the other people, churches and agencieswhose generous support continues to make the work ofpreparing tomorrow’s leaders possible. We are evermindful of the trust your support places in us to be goodstewards of all we have been blessed with. We continueto work aggressively to reduce our costs in order to maximize the benefit of your gifts and those of all oursupporters. Please know how grateful we are for yourtrust and please be assured that we are maximizing everydollar of your generosity.
Many of the challenges that I outlined in my message toyou in last year’s annual report remain. While we arebeginning to implement our strategy for bringing theCRCDS education to a broader geography, the need topursue this reflects the very real need to increase enroll-ment in both our masters and doctoral programs. Thischallenge is by no means unique to CRCDS as all main-line seminaries face the realities of fewer churches, fewerjobs and fewer people pursuing the ministry. Nonethe-less, it represents a significant challenge for all of us whocare about the church and its leadership.
We continue to upgrade our technology, meeting thedemands of the 21st century learning environment tobetter educate our students. We also continue to explore
partnerships that make best use of our facilities while providing much needed revenue for our mission. All thework we do relies directly on the generosity of all oursupporters and we want you to know how sincerely weappreciate your generosity and trust.
We are all grateful for the long legacy of ColgateRochester Divinity School, Crozer Theological Seminary,and the Baptist Missionary Training School. I am mindfulthat our history informs us of who we are today and howwe arrived at this place and time. I am also ever mindfulthat we exist not to preserve our legacy, but to carry thatlegacy forth, serving God by preparing leaders who areprogressive in their thought, creative and inclusive in theirapproach, faithful to the call and always standing withthe least among us. You make such leaders possiblethrough your generosity and faithful prayers. On behalfof all those who are served by graduates of this belovedschool I offer my sincere gratitude and thanks.
My wife, Peggy, and I remain thankful for the opportunityto serve you and this school. I thank you for your contin-ued support as we face the challenges and opportunitiesahead. May the Lord continue to bless you, your familiesand the good and faithful work of CRCDS now and in theweeks, months and years to come.
Yours through Christ,
The Rev. Marvin A. McMickle, Ph.D.President

Honor Roll of Donors 2011–2012The following honor roll includes donors who made gifts of cash or securities from July 1, 2011,
through June 30, 2012.
Twenty years ago, Julius Jackson never imagined that
he'd be enrolled in a seminary pursuing a calling from
God to be a preacher. Now in his 40s, he sees how he
has been on that path his whole life.
The son of parents who relocated to Rochester, New York,
from Louisiana, Julius has led many successful community
initiatives for nonprofit organizations like AIDS Care,
Wilson Commencement Park and Action for a Better
Community.
In all of these roles he found himself again and again
helping people most by doing one thing really well: public
speaking. Today he looks back and sees how that tenacity
to speak publicly was a way of supporting and encourag-
ing others and was actually a nascent form of preaching.
"I was speaking the language, but not claiming it," he explains.
"i never dreamed of taking this path."
Julius is now just a few months away from graduating with his M.Div. and he feels that CRCDS has definitely made
an impact on his formation as a minister.
While reflecting on his experience of the course "Introduction to Preaching" with Profs. Gail Ricciuti and Barbara
Moore, Julius says, "I feel that's where I really got my voice." Dr. James Evans's course on the work of Martin Luther
King, Jr. and Howard Thurman ("Thurman and King and Life in the Spirit") gave Julius's call to preach the Word of
Jesus a foundation in political, social and cultural realities.
Julius currently is completing his hospital-based Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE), which requires 18 hours per
week as a chaplain at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester. He found this practical format for learning incredibly
rewarding, explaining that "a hospital offers many different challenges that a congregation or a seminary doesn't."
It has given him the opportunity to use his faith in new and creative ways.
Julius's supervised ministry placement was under the Rev. Dr. Vera Miller (D.Min.,'95) at Genesee Baptist Church in
Rochester. This placement was such a positive experience that he is now an active member of the church.
"Why do i believe that?"
The call Julius feels to serve Christ in the world is something that he sees very much reflected in the history and tra-
dition of CRCDS's focus on issues of social justice and working to minister to "the least of these."
Another dimension of his seminary education that he believes has strengthened him is the diversity of beliefs and
identities he has encountered in the classrooms and hallways of CRCDS. He found his long-held assumptions were
challenged in ways he had never anticipated.
"Having to test your beliefs against different perspectives definitely strengthens your faith."
Following graduation, Julius will pursue congregational ministry once he completes ordination with the American Baptist
Churches USA. He lives in Henrietta, New York, with his wife Mary and four children.

Pam Carey first felt a calling to the ministry when she
was a teenager. She was certain of her faith and knew
that she wanted to live a life sharing the Good News of
Jesus Christ.
Unfortunately, this was not a path open to women in
the 1960s.
Over 35 years later, with a storied career as a physical
therapist and the mother of three happy, full-grown
children, Pam was able to respond to Christ’s calling.
This wasn't an easy choice. It meant leaving a career in
which she excelled. She is a graduate of the Program for
Physical Therapy at Ithaca College (which, coincidentally,
is now a neighbor of CRCDS on the Hill), and has worked
at Northport Veterans Administration Medical Center
(Northport, New York) and was Head Physical Therapist at Willard Psychiatric Center (Romulus, New York).
Pam has always worked with people, face-to-face, so the thought of leaving that hands-on environment for the aca-
demic setting was intimidating—but that didn't stop her. She enrolled in a local community college to brush up on
her writing and computer skills.
"The more i looked into CRCDS, the more i wanted to apply."
Seminary hadn't occurred to Pam as a real option until she spoke with Rev. Enid Zollweg ('08 CRCDS). Impressed by
the educational pathway offered for United Methodist students, she could not believe she was finally able to answer
her lifelong calling to be God's servant.
She completed her supervised ministry placement at St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Ithaca, New York.
Now in her last semester, Pam is in the process of being commissioned by the United Methodist Church for an
appointment within the Upper New York Conference. The prospect of moving to a new place, which could be any-
where in Western or Upstate New York, is something she and her husband are very excited about.
"i saw the pain and distress people experience from a different perspective."
When she chose to complete her hospital-based Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) placement as a summer
intensive program in Beverley, Massachusetts, she saw the patient experience from a very different perspective.
This program had a profound impact on her pastoral formation, and allowed her to really develop her style of
one-on-one ministry.
Quiet Morning Service
Pam's approach to ministry is best expressed by the quiet morning prayer service she now leads every Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday from 8:00-8:20 am in the Samuel Colgate Memorial Chapel. No words or music are
involved, but everyone on the Hill—a growing community that includes the Veterans Outreach Center residents; the
care providers, patients and their friends and families at the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge; and the students
and faculty of Ithaca College—are welcome to share in this opportunity for silent reflection.
Pam and her husband, Chris, live in Trumansburg, New York. She has been an active member of the Trumansburg United
Methodist Church since 1982.

Honor Roll of Donors 2011–2012The following honor roll includes donors who made gifts of cash or securities from July 1, 2011,
through June 30, 2012.
"it makes you question your faith, makes you
think about what's important to you."
That's how Andrew Van Buren describes the variety of
faith traditions, ideas and identities he has discovered in
his first year as an M.Div. student within the Anglican
Studies Program at CRCDS. When seeking out a potential
seminary, Andrew wanted a place that valued an authen-
tic ecumenical environment. He feels he has found that
at CRCDS.
This semester Andrew has a full course load, including
"Church in the Digital Age" with Dr. David Kim and "Angli-
can-Episcopal Church History" with Dr. William Petersen.
He was especially inspired by Dr. George Heyman's
course "Old Testament I," which revisited the historical
dimension of many Old Testament stories, challenging their traditional meanings. Andrew believes that courses like
these force him to reconsider assumptions within his own faith and have helped him to better appreciate what role the
Scriptures can play in his ministry.
He is also looking forward to the general and denominational requirements he needs to fulfill before graduation.
These include a mandatory residency period for Episcopalian students at the General Theology Seminary in New York
City, a year of supervised ministry, and a Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) requirement, where he will gain practical
ministry experience.
enabling the Call to Christ
"It's been a natural shift from my undergraduate major. The classroom here is challenging and inspiring."
Managing the heavy workload of a pre-med degree as an undergraduate at Swarthmore College in Philadelphia,
Andrew decided to take a religion course as an elective, something most pre-med students don't do. That decision
changed his life. He changed his major that year and graduated in 2010 with a concentration in Religious Studies.
Andrew spent his junior year abroad in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, as an intern at St. Columb's Park House, a
retreat center that is sisters with the IONA Community in Scotland, where Dean Stephanie Sauvé leads a required trip
for her course, "Celtic Spirituality." There, he designed and carried out research on youth perspectives on religion. He
also became involved with initiatives for supporting youth in advocating for peace in that region.
It was in that work with young people that he felt his calling to ministry.
Plans for the Future
Today, as Andrew plans for his path after graduation towards Episcopal Ordination, he is considering establishing a
retreat center with a focus specifically on at-risk, inner-city youth. He is drawn most to person-centered counseling and
advocacy, and feels this environment is ideal for that ministry.
"I feel I am learning to develop my voice at CRCDS, to put it to use for advocacy. I am very happy to be here."
With a very direct understanding of his Episcopal faith and how he wants to express it, a wide open road awaits
Andrew as he pursues his calling in Christ.
Andrew attends St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Rochester, New York. Andrew also works at the YMCA of Pittsford, New York.

Financial Report
Dear Alumni/ae and Friends of Colgate Rochester Crozer DivinitySchool,
The Rev. Marvin A. McMickle, Ph.D., recently completedhis first full year of leadership as President of ColgateRochester Crozer Divinity School (CRCDS). He has repre-sented the School as our public face, as publictheologian, as a bridge to our accrediting body, theAssociation of Theological Schools, as a scholar andteacher, as a team leader, as the President of the Boardof Trustees, as our primary link to alumni/ae and as ourchief friend and fundraiser. I can report with unfetteredenthusiasm that Dr. McMickle has taken on this challeng-ing responsibility with unprecedented enthusiasm,expertise and vision. Not a week goes by that he is notspeaking or preaching. He is working hard to help usface the critical issues impacting the future of theologicaleducation, especially as it touches the historic mission ofCRCDS.
The Board of Trustees is working diligently to providestrategic leadership to Dr. McMickle and the President’sCouncil. We are facing unprecedented challenges in thearena of student recruitment and enrollment. The forcesof declining employment opportunities, heavy undergrad-uate school debt, necessary secular employment andcompetition with other seminaries converge to createenormous pressure on our operating budget. The Presi-dent and his team are exploring many new opportunitiesto adapt scheduling, programming and teachingmethods so that we can guarantee cost-effective solidtheological education that will prepare our graduates forwhatever ministry they are called to perform.
Despite these challenges, we have made positive stepsforward:
� The Board of Trustees over the past several yearshas successfully created the adaptive reuse ofunderutilized space on the Hill. Income fromseveral auxiliary ventures and partnerships nowfully supports the total cost of operating thecampus.
� We can say with great pride that 100% of dona-tions now go directly to the education ofstudents.
� We are especially excited to report that AndrewsHall, once a vacant student apartment build-ing, has now been fully leased to formerlyhomeless veterans. With the constant supportof the Rochester Veterans Outreach Center,twelve new residents can now experience astable lifestyle that will provide the foundationfor counseling and job placement in life-sus-taining jobs. The community really has come to the Hill.
Even with these accomplishments, we still need yourprayers and your financial support so that we can offermeaningful scholarships and thereby increase studentenrollment.
The investiture commitment made by Dr. McMickle on the occasion of his installation is as much a personalresponsibility for our trustees, faculty, staff, students,alumni/ae and friends as it is to our new president. Thefuture of our school is in our hands. Thousands ofChrist’s disciples have built the foundation on which wenow work. We present this annual report as a smallglimpse of what we have accomplished in the last year.More importantly, this annual report pleads for your com-mitment, your investment and your creative spirit that willguide us into the unknown future with the strength andconfidence that God has a purpose for us as a divinityschool to offer quality and relevant theological educationfor the 21st century. I welcome your investment, yourideas, questions, concerns and prayers.
