PRESIDENT OF INDIANA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY
Building Community
For the past couple of years we have purposefully sought to increase multicultural diversity at Indiana
Wesleyan University. One day while praying for a Christ-like community that honors him, I felt God
revealed to me something I should have seen before – IWU should more clearly reflect the Kingdom of
God by welcoming, embracing and including others from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds.
A Diversity Task Force was formed in June of 2010 and met regularly to prayerfully understand and
chart a course of action. The task force charge was to examine and recommend a holistic, integrated and
intentional approach to enrich a campus culture that welcomes all students and faculty of multicultural
diversity and international origins. We felt it was essential to commit to providing a learning experience
that fully engages students and faculty of diversity in curricular and co-curricular education and spiritual
formation rooted in the Wesleyan tradition. During that spring, Dr. Pete Menjares from Biola University
conducted a diversity audit that enabled us to see ourselves more clearly, and he made many useful
recommendations. The work of the task force and the audit led to a standing Multicultural Enrichment
Council that is guiding our future course of action.
We are learning. We have learned that changing community is not easy and will not just happen
naturally. We have learned that most of us do not know how to make desired change in multicultural
diversity – but we are trying. We have learned that not everyone thinks this is important, and some will
oppose the change. I was deeply saddened and felt physically sick to learn of some intentional acts,
defined as hate crimes, which happened on our campus late this fall. Clearly, these acts remind us of
prejudices that still exist in our community.
But, we are making progress. In the College of Arts and Sciences, where the greatest need seems to be,
more students of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities are enrolling than ever before. We are aggressively
seeking additional scholarships for multiculturally diverse students, and this fall’s incoming class of faculty
is a strongly diverse group of hires.
Over the years the College of Adult and Professional Studies has had a solid commitment to diversity,
as well as the School of Nursing. Recent enrollments and hires in Wesley Seminary are commendable.
Yet, we are not where we want to be. This is not just the “trend of the year;” this is something that I
passionately believe God desires for IWU.
Our community should be a safe place where ideas are shared, hearts are bonded and life lessons are
learned. I believe we can only achieve the best of those ideals when we are inclusive. I know there will
be challenges and setbacks along the way, but I dream of a day when diversity is such a part of who we
are that no one talks about it – it is in our DNA. Or perhaps when we do talk about it, the context is the
chance to share with others what has happened here and to celebrate what God is doing in our midst.

2011-2012 Verse of the Year
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

Ordered Steps
Charleston Sanders already had undergraduate and
graduate degrees in music from Indiana University-
Bloomington, when he decided to explore the idea of
working on a seminary degree.
“Guess what the first name was that popped up on the
Internet?” Sanders said. “You guessed it; Wesley Seminary
at Indiana Wesleyan University. I had never been to Marion
and didn’t even know IWU had a brand new Seminary.”
Sanders came to the Marion campus for a visit, decided to
apply to the Seminary and was accepted. He signed up for
his first classes in the summer of 2010.
“In some kind of way, the resumé I turned in with my
Seminary application found its way to the Admissions
office,” Sanders said. “Before I knew it, I was being
interviewed for a newly created position as director of
Multicultural Recruitment.”
He was offered, accepted the job and began work in
August 2010.
“I didn’t know that the wheels were turning in regard to
diversity on the IWU campus or that a multicultural task
force already had been formed,” Sanders said. “God really
ordered my steps by first leading me to the Seminary.”
The first thing Sanders realized after landing in the
Admissions department was that he could not juggle the
demands of the Seminary and a new full-time job.
“I officially became a seminary dropout,” he says. “But
I haven’t abandoned the hope of still getting a seminary
degree.”
Sanders grew up in an inner-city neighborhood in
Indianapolis where his father was, and still is, a pastor. “We
were poor, but we had a solid upbringing,” Sanders said.
“Going to church wasn’t an option, it was a requirement.”
A state-sponsored program called 21st Century Scholars
was Sanders’ ticket to college. Students who enroll in the
program as eighth graders are guaranteed full tuition at a
state college if they maintain good grades and stay out of
trouble.
“I was in the first class statewide to graduate as 21st
Century Scholars,” Sanders said. “If it was not for that, I
would not be doing this interview today. My parents could
simply not afford college.”
While the scholarship program got Sanders into college,
it was his God-given musical ability that kept him there and
helped him to succeed.
“It became obvious that my calling and my heart was
with ministry, but I was sure music would be my tool of

ministry,” he said. “There was a lot of music in
our home. That gave me the foundation for my
spiritual walk but also for my musical gifts.
“I began playing the drums when I was 3 years
old. I beat on bongo drums and even on oatmeal
boxes. By the time I was a teenager, I played the
piano, the Hammond organ, trombone and the
bass guitar,” he said.
After earning his undergraduate degree in music at IU,
Sanders got married and applied for a job with an insurance
company. When the job fell through, he found himself
asking, “What am I going to do now?”
A professor at the IU School of Music answered the
question by offering Sanders a full-ride scholarship to
return to college for a master’s degree in jazz studies.
“At that point, I knew God was in it,” Sanders said. “You
don’t get offered a full-ride scholarship a few weeks before
school starts. From there, everything that I have done has
made room for the next step in my life.”
His journey over the last 10 years prepared him well for
his ministry in multicultural recruitment.
After earning his master’s degree, Sanders worked as the
associate director of Admissions for the IU music school.
He later moved into multicultural recruiting for the entire
IU-Bloomington campus. From there he went to Ivy Tech
College where he ran a college readiness program with the
Indianapolis Public Schools.
“God really ordered my steps.”

While he loves what he is doing at IWU, Sanders said
higher education is only one of five dimensions of his
life. “In addition to now being a college administrator, I
also am a husband, a father, a minister and a musician,”
he said.
Sanders, his wife and their four children live in Marion
but commute to Indianapolis several days a week to
remain active in the church where his father is the
pastor. Sanders is a church elder and serves as the music
director.
“IWU has been a place where I really see myself using
all of those facets of my life,” Sanders said. “I consider
my job at IWU a type of ministry because I see myself
helping people to navigate their way through higher
education and, perhaps, to their life calling.
“Although I don’t take all of the credit, we have made
significant progress in the past year in getting more minority
students interested in IWU. We also are working hard to
make IWU more affordable, which is a major issue for
students of color,” he said.
Almost as an afterthought, Sanders said, “I wish I had
known about IWU when I was a teenager.”
“I consider my job at IWU a type of ministry because I see myself helping people to navigate their way through higher
education and, perhaps, to their life calling.”

Building Bridges to the NationsOnline Classes, International Sites Create Borderless Possibilities for Adult Education
Adult education leaders, combining their entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to building God’s kingdom, continue to search for avenues to meet student needs. Their search includes online and onsite possibilities for multiple academic programs that would reach nations around the world.
Contributing to the online learning and expanded locations conversation is Dr. Jeannie Trudel, associate vice president for Strategic Initiatives in the College for Adult and Professional Studies (CAPS). She and others within Wesley Seminary, the School of Nursing (SON) and CAPS leadership are exploring numerous opportunities.
Drs. David Wright, Bridget Aitchison, Barbara Irhke and Wayne Schmidt are charged with guiding adult education.Wright serves as provost, Aitchison as CAPS vice president, Irhke as SON dean and Schmidt as Seminary vice president. They share a vision of establishing a global Christian university with multiple sites over the next 10 years that will prepare graduates to be world changers occupying positions of global Christian influence in all fields.
Their prayerful leadership, shared by President Henry Smith and his administrative team, guides the exploration of all initiatives. The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) also sets priorities for global learning and provides residential students with study abroad opportunities.
In the South Pacific, Aitchison and Trudel, along with New Zealand Wesleyan church representatives, met with church leaders who were excited about plans by Wesley Seminary to open an education center in Auckland. The center would offer Master of Divinity classes to students in New Zealand, Australia and the island nations of Fiji, Tonga and Samoa.
Tongan leaders, Trudel said, would like to preserve their uniqueness within the academic program, that it not be an exclusively American degree. “We were quick to assure
them that our purpose is to collaborate and to serve; contextualizing our programs to their needs,” she said.
Conversations about an Auckland education center for Wesley Seminary started in spring 2010.
“The goal would be to establish a site for the Seminary, and potentially the wider University, in Auckland,” said Schmidt, who visited New Zealand last October.
Schmidt said six pastors from Australia and New Zealand were nominated by their regions to begin taking Wesley Seminary M.Div. classes with the hope of finishing their degrees through the Auckland center.
Wesley Seminary’s Spanish-speaking M.Div. program, launched in 2010, is also looking for opportunities to offer its contextualized ministerial degree program beyond its home shores.
“We recognize that God has positioned us in a way to not exclusively focus on the needs of the Hispanic church in North America, but also in Ibero-America,” said Joanne Solis-Walker, the Seminary’s director of Latino and Latina Studies.
Puerto Rico’s Departamento de Educación has authorized the Seminary to begin recruiting students, with a goal of starting a cohort by next year. Seminary leaders are also thinking about Colombia, Panama, Ecuador and Spain.
Ideally, Solis-Walker said, these programs will employ native faculty members to offer an education that reflects the students’ culture.
A joint undergraduate nursing program with China’s Shenyang Medical College is another initiative being considered. Trudel said that Ihrke and SON are working on a couple of short-term student and faculty exchange programs for IWU students in China next May.
Additional discussions have begun with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) to help train more than 400,000 teachers in the Democratic Republic of Congo to integrate their faith into school curriculum.
Solis-Walker believes that taking IWU and Wesley Seminary programs around the world will help both institutions more clearly resemble God’s Kingdom. “Part of our shared vision is to be a bridge to the nations,” Solis-Walker said, “where diversity – that colorful palette that God held in his hand when he was creating humanity – is reflected, very clearly reflected, in who we are.”

Two campus landmarks were named in honor of prominent alumni during Homecoming activities.
The plaza that adjoins the Chapel Auditorium was named in honor of Dr. Harold E. Bardsley, who graduated in 1958 and later served 32 years on the Board of Trustees. A street that adjoins the plaza also was named Bardsley Way.
Bardsley, who died in 2009, played a key role in planning the 3,800-seat Chapel Auditorium, which opened in January 2010.
“Dr. Bardsley dreamed of the day when this Chapel Auditorium would dominate the skyline of the IWU campus. He died a few months before seeing his dream fulfilled,” said President Henry Smith.
“When IWU leaders began considering a way to indelibly etch Dr. Bardsley’s name on our campus, his family seized the idea of naming this plaza in his memory. The University chose to also rename the street that leads to this plaza.
“Generations of Indiana Wesleyan University students now will be privileged to follow this path up Bardsley Way and across Bardsley Plaza to enter this magnificent building that has reshaped the skyline of the campus – just as Harold Bardsley had dreamed it would,” Smith said.
The fieldhouse, which was built in 2007, was named in honor of Millie Jacobs Troyer, who often is referred to as “IWU’s Official Cheerleader.” She graduated in 1948 and later served as the University’s first alumni director and first women’s athletic director.
After living in Canada for many years, Troyer moved back to Marion in 2003 where she has become actively involved in campus life .
“It is hard to find all of the right words – at least in a limited amount of time – to fully describe who Millie Jacobs Troyer is and what she has
meant to Marion College and Indiana Wesleyan University since she first came to campus as a student in the 1940s,” Smith said.
“Since returning home, Millie has kept busy helping out in the Athletic Department. Selling tickets, staffing concessions stands, being a friend and mentor to hundreds of students and even accompanying athletic teams on international missions trips.
“And, of course, continually cheering on IWU-student athletes from the sidelines. It is with gratitude – and with joy – that we express our gratitude to IWU’s official cheerleader by naming this building Troyer Fieldhouse!” Smith said.

Endowed Chair Is Named for Munday
The Terry Munday Endowed Professorship of Life Calling has been established to honor the significant impact that Munday had on the University during his 18 years as vice president for University Advancement.
The endowment was announced at the Alumni/Founders Day Banquet during Homecoming weekend.
Munday retired as an IWU vice president in 2006 but continues to serve as an advisor to IWU President Henry Smith. About $1.25 million already has been committed to fund the endowment.
IWU embraces the concept of Life Calling as an educational philosophy that infuses and integrates faith, virtue, wisdom and service into a trajectory of intellectual and character development that transforms students by the renewing of their minds in Christ.

The launch of a Multicultural Enrichment Initiative a year
ago has provided a formal framework for the 3,200-student
residential campus to build on its recent successes in
becoming a more ethnically and racially diverse community.
Diversity has been a top priority for the last five years,
but the past year in particular has seen significant gains
as a result of specific initiatives and goals drafted by the
Multicultural Enrichment Council.
The number of diverse students on IWU’s residential
campus in Marion has increased from 134 during the 2007-
08 academic year to 239 for the current academic year. The
percentage of diverse students in Marion has increased from
4.5 percent five years ago to 7.5 percent today.
The number of Hispanic students on the Marion campus
has increased from 55 to 95 in the last five years, and the
number of African-American students has nearly doubled
from 44 in 2007-08 to 83 for the current academic
year.
Eighteen Latino/Latina church leaders are enrolled in
Master of Divinity programs in Wesley Seminary at IWU.
In the area of faculty recruitment, seven of 12 new
professors hired in the College of Arts and Sciences for the
2011-12 academic year are people of diversity.
The College of Adult and Professional Studies has
demonstrated widespread diversity, among both faculty
and students, almost since its founding in 1985. About 25
percent of adult education students who attend classes in
large urban areas are diverse.
Diane McDaniel, who has been director of Faculty
Recruitment since
2008, was named
associate vice president
for Human Resources
in August. She has
a master’s degree in
human resources plus
extensive experience in
human resources while
working for a large
telecommunications
company.
McDaniel also serves as co-chair of the Multicultural
Enrichment Council, which was created earlier this year
to provide leadership in changing the multicultural face
of IWU’s residential campus. Dr. Wayne Schmidt, vice
president of Wesley Seminary at IWU, chairs the council.
The Multicultural Enrichment Council established
several statistical goals to guide its work. The council has set
a fall 2013 deadline to meet those goals.
Other diversity-related events in recent months include:

Dean Builds Upon Upward Bound Boost
As a child, Marlon Mitchell faced what could have been
overwhelming odds for attaining a college degree. Today,
he is the regional dean for adult education programs in the
northern third of Indiana, and credits Upward Bound for
pointing him in the right direction.
Mitchell’s mother died when he was in elementary
school. He was sent to live first with his great-grandparents
and later with his
grandparents, none of
whom had any formal
education.
“Families can do great
things without a formal
education,” Mitchell said.
“My family had a lot of
intelligence and wisdom.
They were wise enough to see that their children and
grandchildren went to college.
“My generation was the first to go to college. Since then,
everyone has gone to college and has advanced degrees. For
my grandparents to not even have a third-grade education and
to educate doctors and lawyers is just phenomenal,” he said.
Mitchell doesn’t know if he would have gone to college
without help from Upward Bound, but he is convinced the
program helped prepare him to succeed in college.
“Upward Bound made a difference in the friends I had
and provided a college experience while I was still in high
school,” Mitchell said. “Upward Bound knows that if your
parents did not go to college, your chances of going to
college are reduced.”
IWU has sponsored an Upward Bound program on its
residential campus in Marion for 16 years. Students are
accepted into the program as high school sophomores.
Mitchell, who grew up in Gary and East Chicago,
participated in an Upward Bound program sponsored
by Purdue University-Calumet in northwest Indiana.
The program clearly prepared him well to seek a higher
education.
After graduating from Gary
Roosevelt High School, where
he was a member of the state
champion track team for four
consecutive years, Mitchell
enrolled at Kelley School of
Business at Indiana University-
Bloomington, where he earned a
bachelor’s degree.
He worked briefly for IBM in Chicago and New York
before realizing he didn’t like corporate life.
“If I didn’t learn anything else from IBM, I learned how
to deliver good service and to maintain the character not
only of yourself but also of your product,” Mitchell said.
“I integrated that principle into my life and have carried it
forth throughout my career.
“When I was at IBM, the CEO was a Christian,” he said.
“You don’t think of a corporation as being Christian, but
I saw it in his leadership. You pick up things like that and
want to incorporate them in your life.”
After his corporate world experience, Mitchell earned
a certificate in economics of European immigration from
a university in the Netherlands. He then returned to IU-
Bloomington, where he completed a master’s degree and a
“I’ve had the greatest experience at IWU. I
love what I do.”
I N D I A N A W E S L E Y A N U N I V E R S I T Y 1 5
doctorate in the School of Education.
“I wrote my dissertation while I was studying at the
University of Ghana,” Mitchell said. “I went there with a
friend I met, whose father was a supreme court justice in
Ghana. I planned to stay for 10 days and wound up staying
for 18 months.
“I might have stayed longer, but the chair of my
dissertation committee at IU told me I needed to come
home to defend my dissertation,” he said.
Back in the States, Mitchell took a job at Albany State
University in Georgia as an administrator and professor.
He later returned to Gary, where he took a job with the
public school system, but kept the teaching job in Georgia –
commuting every other weekend.
Mitchell said the move back to Indiana was a “godsend”
because that is where he first became acquainted with
Indiana Wesleyan University.
“When I came back to Indiana, I hadn’t even heard of
IWU,” he said. “An assistant superintendent of the Gary
Schools, who I really respected, told me I would be a good
fit for IWU.
“Then I got a phone call from a friend in Texas, the vice
president of a university, who told me there was a regional
dean position open at IWU. After getting the same message
from two people, I began to think that maybe this was a
God thing.”
Mitchell submitted an application, got the job and began
work in September of 2010.
“I’ve had the greatest experience at IWU. I love what I do,”
Mitchell said. “One thing I really love about IWU is that I
truly know the University is what it says it is, unashamedly
Christian.
“I love it even more because we take that into the
classroom, we take that into the community, we take that into
every walk of life. That alone is something that does my heart
good and touches the hearts of the people we serve,” he said.

When Dr. Grace Ju Miller was growing up in the Philip-pines, she was surrounded by poverty. She walked
through slums on her way to school. “I had the privilege of seeing poverty at a very young age,”
Miller said.Privilege? “Images of poverty always were ingrained on my mind. So,
when I was in college, I felt compelled to do something about it,” she said.
Still, when she graduated from Duke University with a dou-ble major in biology and art, she had a decision to make.
“I could go on to study art in southern France, or one of my botany professors said I could do a research assistantship in Taiwan,” she said. “I chose Taiwan because I always had this idea I could use my science to help the poor.”
Miller stayed in Taiwan for a year, doing research – but mostly affirming her career decision.
“I got my feet wet in the lab and really liked it,” she said. “I
had ups and downs and experiments that failed, but I began to feel seriously that this is where my passion is.”
Back in the States, Miller enrolled in graduate school at the University of California-Davis. “I became engrossed in the bio-chemistry of rice and got my master’s degree in that area from the Department of Agronomy,” she said.
After working a year in California, Miller was accepted into a doctoral program at Purdue University where she received a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to continue her studies with rice.
Again, it was decision time for Miller: more education vs. the mission field.
“The big thing that affected me was a missions conference where a Chinese pastor was speaking. He had been in prison in China, was tortured and finally released,” Miller said. “I told him I had this opportunity to get my Ph.D. but that I also had a longing to work in missions.
“He told me to get my doctorate because it would be a more

powerful instrument to get me into countries as a missionary,” she said.
Miller took the pastor’s advice, completed her doctorate at Purdue and thought she was ready to go straight to overseas work. Instead, a Bible study teacher convinced her she first needed teaching experience.
“I went to Gordon College, a Christian college in Massachusetts, got married and began teaching a class called Crops and Soci-ety,” Miller said. “I am still teaching the class at IWU. Crops and Society has fulfilled the passion I have for linking plant biology to the developing world.”
That class eventually led to what now has become a 10-year relationship between Miller and Educational Concerns for Hunger (ECHO) a Florida-based Christian organi-zation dedicated to fighting world hunger through ideas, sustainable agricultural infor-mation, training and seeds.
Miller left Gordon College in 2002 and became the Seed Bank director at ECHO for four years.
Miller still teaches a summer international seminar on sustainable tropical agriculture for IWU students. Students spend seven days on the ECHO campus in Fort Myers and 10 days in Honduras, working with missionaries and community development workers who are teaching farmers ways to farm and garden while becoming good stew-ards of the land.
Miller first learned of IWU a decade ago
when she was in charge of the seed program at ECHO. One of her interns was Cheryl Beckett, who had graduated with honors from IWU in 2000 with a major in biology.
Beckett later would use the skills she learned at ECHO by serving the people of Afghanistan for six years through commu-nity development, focusing on nutritional gardening and mother-child health.
In August 2010, Beckett was one of 10 medical volunteers who were shot to death in Afghanistan by unknown assailants. A year earlier, Miller had seen a job posting for a plant biologist at IWU.
“The only thing I knew about IWU was the Cheryl Beckett connection, so I decided to apply for the position,” Miller said.
At the time Miller accepted the job at IWU, she and her husband, Garth, had recently returned from teaching at an Amer-ican-operated orphanage in Morocco. They were living in Fort Myers, where they still owned a house. Neither had jobs.
“It was a real test of our faith,” Miller said. “I got a job in a Fort Myers food kitchen and commuted to Massachusetts to teach part-time at Gordon College.
“You know, God really does know what he is doing,” Miller said.
“I had worked with poverty overseas but had never really worked with local poverty in America. It really opened my eyes. We worked with elementary school kids in a program that provided backpacks filled with ready-to-eat food. These are kids who don’t eat a hot meal after lunch at school on Fri-day until breakfast on Monday,” she said.
After her long journey from her child-hood days in the Philippines to the campus of IWU, Miller feels as if she has found a home – teaching her Crops and Society class to students who are still trying to figure out what to do with their lives.
“I think that I really have a passion for undergraduate learning,” she said. “That is a critical time for students in developing their goals and their careers. If I taught at a bigger school, it would be mostly graduate students that I would be mentoring, and they have pretty much decided what they want to do.
“I really value my experience at IWU and am grateful that God brought me here,” she said.
The Miracle of Moringa Leaves
Dr. Grace Ju Miller, in her mission to fight world hunger through sustainable agriculture, has done extensive study of Moringa oleifera, which is hailed as the “Miracle Tree” for its impressive resume of nutritional, hygienic and medicinal uses.
Moringa leaf powder, Miller said, has been used in many feeding programs where malnutrition is a problem.
Her research has focused specifically on comparing the protein levels of Moringa leaves grown in different environments.
Miller was a mentor for the first Hodson Summer Research Institute in 2011. She and Jacob Eckles, senior from Adrian, Michigan, did Moringa leaf research in the Burns Hall of Science and Nursing greenhouse.
Miller continued the research project during the fall 2011 semester with two other students, Seth Masterson and Kaylee Trout. Another student who was previously involved in the project, Ann Booker, has graduated.

Wesley Seminary at Indiana Wesleyan University is
partnering with some successful and innovative
congregations in The Wesleyan Church to extend the seminary
experience beyond the classroom.
In September, 10 seminary students participated in a
weeklong elective class, “Church Laboratory at 12Stone®,”
at 12Stone Church in Lawrenceville, Georgia, a suburb of
Atlanta.
The class was designed to show how a healthy and
growing congregation is participating in the mission of God
and being the people of God in their local context. Students
were able to participate in the weekend ministries of the
church, which has multiple campuses in the Atlanta area.
Rev. Kevin Myers, a 1982 alumnus, is the senior pastor of
12Stone, which is the largest congregation in The Wesleyan
Church, based on attendance. Myers serves on the Boards of
Trustees for IWU and Wesley Seminary.
A similar elective is planned June 6-11, 2012, at 12Stone.
Dr. Dan Reiland, executive pastor of the congregation,
coordinates the class.
Another group of seminary students will spend the
week of May 16-22, 2012, in the Grand Rapids, Michigan,
area, participating in a class titled “Missional Church
Multiplication.”
The class will be hosted by the West Michigan District
of The Wesleyan Church and will be coordinated by Rev.
Chris Conrad. He is the district superintendent, as well as a
former church planter and director of Church Planting for
The Wesleyan Church.
Church planting principles and practices will be explored

in Grand Rapids, and Seminary students
will visit multiple church sites with
differing communities, congregations
and leadership approaches.
Dr. Phil Stevenson, former general
director of Evangelism and Church
Growth for The Wesleyan Church, will
teach the class. He is the district director
of Church Planting and Leadership for
the denomination’s Pacific Southwest
District.
“A goal of our class in Michigan is
to introduce our Seminary students to
the philosophy and strategies of church planting,” said
Dr. Wayne Schmidt, vice president of Wesley Seminary
at IWU. “There is a lot of variety in the West Michigan
District, including different size churches and different
leadership styles. We feel our students will get a great range
of exposures.”
Schmidt said the partnerships in Michigan and Georgia
are signature services that Wesley Seminary committed itself
to provide for The Wesleyan Church. “In fact,” Schmidt
said, “creating these ‘teaching church’ and ‘teaching district’
partnerships was among the top priorities established by Dr.
Jo Anne Lyon in conversation with the Seminary board.”
Lyon is a general superintendent of The Wesleyan
Church. Schmidt said he and denominational leaders have
discussed criteria for creating more partnerships.
“We want to say as a Seminary that we are serving pastors
and serving local churches,” Schmidt said. “We want that
vital connection.”
The classes in Georgia and Michigan may be audited, so
participants need not be registered Seminary students.
Joel Liechty, a student in the Seminary’s first cohort group,
participated in the class at 12Stone Church. He said it was
a great experience being exposed to a church that has more
than 10,000 worshippers.
“Problems come with that kind of growth, and it was
interesting to see how the church responds,” Liechty said.
“For example, how do you make a church of 10,000 seem
intimate so that people can grow as individuals and not just
be one of 10,000 people?”
Liechty and the other students attended a variety of
worship services and attended lectures presented by
multiple staff members of 12Stone. “We got a great
sampling of different worship settings and styles and could
compare what various speakers told us,” he said.
Liechty plans to graduate in May with his Master of Divinity
degree. He served two years as resident pastor at College
Wesleyan Church in Marion as part of his graduate work.

Thousands Benefit through
Bridges to Health
Since its opening in 2005, thousands of Grant County
residents have received free medical care through the
Bridges to Health clinic. IWU celebrates its community
members who helped to create and continue to support the
clinic.
For example:
• DavidCallecod,whoearnedanM.B.A.fromIWU,
first proposed the free clinic in 2004 when he was the
president and CEO of Marion General Hospital. He
now is a hospital administrator in Louisiana.
• PamLeslie,whohasanIWUmaster’sdegreein
community health nursing and teaches in IWU’s pre-
licensure nursing program, was a key player in the task
force that had the clinic up and running in less than a
year.
• MarilynHunter,amedicaldoctorwhograduated
from IWU, was among the first to volunteer at the
clinic where she serves as assistant medical director.
Hunter is a former missionary, who practices
medicine in Marion.
“Our community really pulled together quickly to make
the clinic happen,” said Kelley Hochstetler, Community
Education coordinator at Marion General Hospital who
serves as the president of the clinic board. “It was one of the
shortest start-up times of any similar clinic in the country.”
Bridges to Health, housed in a building that is owned
by the hospital, still depends heavily on the hospital for
financial support. But the clinic also enjoys strong support
from individuals and churches.
IWU’s involvement in the clinic has intensified. Leslie serves
on the clinic board and volunteers.
Rob Dawson, pre-licensure nursing program chair, is
on the paid staff. Dr. Adam Thompson, Athletic Training
Education director,
and Dr. Terry Neal,
Graduate School of
Nursing chair, also
regularly volunteer
at the clinic.
“When I first
heard about
Bridges to Health,
I knew I could
help and wanted
to be involved,”
Thompson said. “I
saw an opportunity
to offer my skills
and positively
impact the community.” He is often joined by students.
Other faculty members, mostly nurses, also volunteer at
the clinic.
Bridges to Health has provided opportunities for nursing
students and even pre-med students to work as volunteers
and to make up clinical classes under the supervision of
IWU nursing professors.
The clinic also provides practicum experience for IWU
students majoring in areas such as social work, business and
pastoral ministries.
Yui Iwase, a junior pre-med major, spent the summer
working as a clinic volunteer. “I was very excited for the
opportunity to volunteer and get some clinical hours,” she
said. ‘Having some interaction with patients will be very
important when I begin to fill out applications for medical
schools.”
Even though individual IWU students and faculty
members already are heavily involved with Bridges to Health, Hochstetler
and IWU officials are seeking ways to build more formal relationships
between the clinic and the University.
“IWU could help the clinic with things such as marketing and providing
release time for faculty members to work at the clinic,” Hochstetler said. “In
return, we could serve as a site for clinical rotations for nursing students and
provide more opportunities for various community outreach programs.
“I believe such a relationship could even add a new dimension to IWU that
might help with fund raising.
Bridges to Health does not charge for its services and is open only to
people without health insurance. Patients can earn up to 200 percent of the
povertylevel,about$21,000annually.
“A majority of our patients are working, some of them at two or three
jobs,” Hochstetler said. “Providing care so people can continue to work is a
primary objective for us.”
‘I Knew I Could Help and Wanted to Be Involved’
By Adam J. Thompson
Director, Athletic Training Education
I initially heard about Bridges to Health
from a co-worker who had students
volunteering a couple of times a month
at the clinic. I decided to visit the clinic
and talk with some of the health care
providers about what services were
being provided to patients.
I was amazed at how many patients
could readily use rehabilitation and
home exercise programs to treat a
variety of orthopedic injuries and
conditions. I knew I could help and
wanted to be involved. I saw an
opportunity to offer my skills and
positively impact the community.
I now perform clinical evaluations and
provide diagnoses for orthopedic injuries
and conditions. Once those problems are
determined, I also provide home exercise
and rehabilitation programs to help
patients recover more quickly.
All students in the Athletic Training
Education program volunteer time
at Bridges to Health – usually during
the sophomore or junior year of
undergraduate studies – to complete
part of their required general medical
rotation. This clinical experience has
been significantly strengthened by
IWU’s affiliation with Bridges to Health.
I believe this facility is one of the best
general medical experiences in the
region for athletic training students to
interact with patients and learn from the
providers at Bridges to Health.

Athlete Leah Whittaker Leaves Legacy
Women’s basketball student-athlete Leah Whittaker
passed away from colon cancer on August 16 at her home in
Princeville, Illinois. She was 19.
“The testimony that Leah will leave on the team is that we
watched her go through all this with an immense amount
of courage and she never lost her faith in God,” said Steve
Brooks, women’s basketball head coach. “It was her prayer that
through it all, whether she was healed here on earth or up in
heaven, that her life would be a testimony to those who she
came into contact with. She was successful in doing that.”
Whittaker’s battle lasted eight months after doctors
diagnosed her with stage four liver and colon cancer during
the first week of December, 2010. She fought the cancer
at clinics in Peoria, Illinois; Rochester, Minnesota; and
Washington, D.C.
“Leah’s courage and kind, loving spirit throughout her
battle truly impacted countless lives for Christ, and while we
are deeply saddened by her passing, we are grateful that she
is now pain free and with the Lord in paradise,” said Athletic
Director Mark DeMichael.
Whittaker was in the middle of her freshman year when she
was diagnosed. She leaves behind a legacy that has and will
reach many lives.
“I am committed that Leah’s testimony of courage, strength
and faith is a part of who we are every day,” Brooks said.

NAIA Membership is MaintainedIndiana Wesleyan University will continue to strengthen the
relationships and rivalries it enjoys in the Mid-Central College
Conference (MCC) of the National Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics (NAIA).
An IWU committee spent almost two years researching whether to
change IWU’s athletic affiliation from the NAIA to NCAA Division II.
A report on the NCAA Division II application initiative, prepared by
Athletic Director Mark DeMichael and Executive Vice President Keith
Newman, was presented to the Board of Trustees in October.
The MCC has eight member colleges in Indiana, and one each in
Ohio and Michigan. IWU has been an MCC member since 1968 when
the University began its intercollegiate athletic program.
IWU is the largest college in the MCC based on traditional
undergraduate enrollment.
Dual Honor is First in School History
The men‘s and women’s basketball teams claimed the Number
1 ranking in the first edition of the NAIA Division II Men’s
and Women’s Coaches’ Top 25 Polls that were released in late
November.
It is the first ever No. 1 ranking for the men’s team. The
women’s team was ranked No. 1 during the 2006-07 season, in
which the Lady Wildcats won the NAIA national championship
with a 38-0 record.
It also is the first time in 11 years for a university to have both
its men’s and women’s team at the top of the NAIA rankings.
The University of Saint Francis, like IWU a Mid-Central College
Conference (MCC) team, was the last to have achieved the honor
during the 1999-2000 season.
“Leah’s courage
and kind, loving
spirit throughout
her battle truly
impacted countless
lives for Christ.”
Volleyball Team Competes in NAIA Nationals
The women’s volleyball team competed in the NAIA National
Championships for only the second time in school history. The
team hosted and won the program’s first opening round game and,
as a result, advanced to the final site of the national championship
for the first time.
The Lady Wildcats ended their season with a 1-2 record in
Pool A at the national tourney in Iowa. Overall, the team ended
the season with a 36-6 record – the fourth most wins in a single
season for the volleyball program.

The Athletic Department has received the Champions of Character Five Star Award from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
“The Champions of Character award is a testament to who we really are,” said Athletic Director Mark DeMichael. “We strive to win championships on the field, and that is important to us, but ultimately that means nothing to us if we’re not doing those things off the fields of competition that Champions of Character emphasizes.”
IWU scored points in five categories to earn the honor: character training, conduct in competition, academic focus, character recognition and character promotion. Institutions also earn points based on exceptional student-athlete grade-point averages and by having zero ejections during competition throughout the academic year.
“Things like our athletic commissioning service, and community service, and ministries to those outside our athletic department are what Champions of Character represents,” DeMichael said.
“Those things are ultimately the reason why we are here. Getting this award affirms that God is using us in areas outside of athletic competition, and we are grateful to him for providing those opportunities,” he said.
A school needed to earn 60 points to receive the honor. IWU finished with 82 points, which was first among Mid-Central College Conference (MCC) schools.
IWU will be recognized with the other recipients on the NAIA Champions of Character website, with a special web banner and a certificate noting the Five Star Award.
Women’s Tennis TeamHas Perfect Season The women’s tennis team, coached by Terry Porter, wrapped up a perfect season in October by winning the Mid-Central College Conference (MCC) championship for the 20th consecutive year. With the win, the team earned the MCC automatic berth to the NAIA National Championship in May in Mobile, Alabama. The team has finished the fall season undefeated for 16 straight years and the fall win streak stands at 209 matches, dating back to 1995. The team has won every MCC championship since it began competing in the conference in 1992.
Hinshaw Named Top Assistant Coach Larry Hinshaw, assistant volleyball coach for three seasons, was honored as the American Volleyball Coaches Association NAIA National Assistant Coach of the Year after helping to lead the volleyball team to its highest NAIA ranking in program history. The team won the MCC championship and won an opening round game in the NAIA national tourney. Hinshaw has 15 years of coaching experience at the collegiate, high school camp and club levels.

Women’s Cross Country Wins MCC Title
Five athletes earned all-conference honors as the No. 17-ranked
women’s cross country team won the program’s 12th Mid-Central
College Conference championship in the last 14 years.
“This conference championship means a lot,” said Head Coach
John Foss. “We’ve won 12 of the last 14, but this year we were
challenged. We knew we had good competition and wanted to do
our best. We were thrilled we survived.”
Earning spots on the MCC All-Conference Team were Beka
Bentle, Alyssa Foss, Alissa Peterson, Taylor Hite and Amanda
Johnson.
The women finished third in the NCCAA national tourney and
20th in the 32-team NAIA Nationals.
Two members of the IWU men’s cross country team, Andrew
Albert and Matt McAndrews, also qualified for the NAIA nationals.
They finished 87th and 153rd, respectively, in the 312-runner field.
What began with the 2009 induction of Joni
Eareckson Tada into Indiana Wesleyan University’s
Society of World Changers has developed into a partnership.
A course called “Beyond Suffering: A Christian View on
Disability Ministry,” which was developed by the Christian
Institute for Disability, is being taught on a limited basis
at IWU but may eventually become a part of the general
education curriculum. The course has its own textbook.
The Christian Institute for Disability is one of five flagship
programs affiliated with the Joni and Friends International
Disability Center, which was founded by Tada. The Center
is in Agoura Hills, California.
“Disabilities are not the only focus of the class,” said
Nathan Herring, director of Disability Services. “The focus
is on how we get a clear picture of God in a world where
people are hurting, where people are dying, where people
are broken.
“We serve this loving God that we talk about who won’t
let anything bad happen if we have faith that can move a
mountain,” he said. “So then, why do bad things happen?
Why do we have pain? Why do we have suffering?”
“Beyond Suffering” is being taught to one breakout
group in a general education class titled “Becoming World
Changers: Christian Faith and Contemporary Issues.”
The course will be offered twice in May 2012, once for
seminary students and once for undergraduates. Kathy
McReynolds, who designed and implemented the class at
Biola University in California, will teach the undergraduate
class. Herring and Rose Sprunger, an IWU nursing
professor, will teach the seminary class.
“A long-term goal is to make ‘Beyond Suffering’ one of
IWU’s required or alternate general education courses,”
Herring said.
Herring said that as many as 200 students have identified
themselves as being a student with a disability, but that
many disabilities are not visible. “When we talk about
diversity, we often leave out people with disabilities because
they do not all have physical disabilities,” he said. “Even
some physical disabilities cannot be seen.”
Herring, who became the first director of Disability
Services eight years ago, has a master’s degree in counseling
psychology and vocational rehabilitation. He said his role
varies from student to student.
“I’m a counselor and an advocate,” he said. “Sometimes
I play more of a pastoral role, sometimes a parental role. It
really depends on what students need. Sometimes they are
struggling academically, sometimes socially.”
Herring said the “Beyond Suffering” course is a keystone
for what IWU hopes will be other initiatives with Tada. “We
share a common goal of equipping people to become world
changers in their churches,” he said. “If you think of all the
places in the world that should be accepting of people who
are hurting, broken and suffering, you should think first of
the church.”

Being accepted to participate in the Liszt-Garrison
Festival and International Piano Competition is an
accomplishment in itself, but three music professors went
beyond that first step.
“I sent preliminary audition CDs as two entries in the
hopes that either one would make it to the semifinals of
this prestigious international piano competition,” said
Dr. Phoenix Park-Kim, an
associate professor of piano.
“The first entry was piano
and voice with Tammie
Huntington, and the other
was piano and cello with
Yeon-Ji Yun.
“In July, to my surprise,
I heard from the competition committee that both
entries had advanced to the semifinals. The judges
included a panel of 15 renowned musicians from all over
the world,” Park-Kim said. The competition was in October
at Notre Dame of Maryland University.
Park-Kim has taught at IWU since 2005. Huntington, an
associate professor of music who teaches voice and opera,
joined the IWU faculty in 2007. Yun has been an adjunct
instructor in cello and string quartet since 2009.
When the five-day competition ended, Park-Kim and Yun
received honorable mention among the three finalists in
the collaborative artist category. Park-Kim and Huntington
advanced to the second stage of the semifinals in the same
category.
There were more than 50 entries for the collaborative
artist category, but only eight semi-finalists were accepted
for the competition. The collaborative category is for a
pianist performing with another musician.
“We met and heard some amazing musicians perform
from all over the world,” Park-Kim said. “In fact, my team
was the only one from the United States among the six,
second-stage semifinalists. The rest were from Russia,
Bulgaria and Brazil.
“We felt honored and rewarded to be finalists after our
long journey leading up to the competition, which required
a lot of research, individual practice and group rehearsal.
I am so thankful to both Tammie and Yeon-Ji for their
wonderful musicianship and work which made this all
possible,” she said.
The three professors began preparing for the competition
in May.
Park-Kim said the Liszt-Garrison Festival, which began in
2006, is forward-thinking, as demonstrated by the separate
category for collaborative artists.
“There has been an increased awareness on the
importance of collaborative piano playing in recent
decades,” Park-Kim said. “Having a sole career as a concert
pianist is highly unrealistic except for a very limited few, but
there is much more demand for collaborative pianists.
“For a long time, college and conservatory music
programs have not emphasized collaborative piano, but
nowadays there are more music programs offering a degree
in collaborative piano. This is an area where pianists can
actually make a career, and it requires mature musicianship
and ensemble skills.
“As a result of this experience, I grew as a collaborative
pianist and hope to set an example for my piano students,
practicing what I preach,” Park-Kim said.

The cruise, a partnership between The School of
Educational Leadership (SoEL) and Holland America Cruise
Lines, departs July 21, 2012, from Seattle, Washington.
During the voyage, SoEL will conduct a three-credit-hour
course, which educators can use for continuing education
points or teacher licensing renewal.
Dr. Diana Ross, director of the Continuing Studies Department, said, “Teachers will have the opportunity to learn from
outstanding instructors, such as Anna Schultz, Indiana Teacher of the Year and master of education alumna, and Dr. Jay
Thompson, curriculum consultant with the Alaskan schools, as well as naturalists, park rangers and excursion leaders.”
New educators will receive hands-on assistance with creating unit plans and sound academic structures. Experienced
teachers will be able to recharge and refresh their passion for the classroom.
“Best of all, educators can create a curriculum unit designed to share their travel experience with students and bring a
global perspective to the learning community,” Ross said.
Participants will be invited to give presentations at the SoEL 2012 Fall Conference.
Throughout the week, the ship will make port at Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan, Alaska, and Victoria, British Columbia.
Port visits will offer opportunities for flightseeing tours, whale watching, glacier trekking, dog sledding, hiking and guided

Eleven students filled the inaugural cohort of the Master
of Science in Nursing (MSN) and Master of Business
Administration (MBA) dual degree. The MSN/MBA, IWU’s
first dual degree, is a three-year online program.
“The dual degree is a program for nurses [who] are
interested in mid- to upper-management positions,” said Dr.
Debra Drake, an associate professor in the Graduate School of
Nursing. “It will have a strong emphasis on finances as well
as leadership in the health-care setting.”
Drake said that an MSN/MBA graduate could become a
hospital chief nursing officer, department director or unit
manager. The degree will include graduate-level courses in
finance, economics and accounting; organizational behavior,
nursing management and heath care finance; and nursing
theory, health care policy and ethics.
Drake said many hospitals are seeking to achieve ‘Magnet’
status, which is a form of accreditation offered to hospitals
with excellent support for nursing practice. “One of the
requirements of Magnets is that nurses have advanced
degrees in nursing,” Drake said. “This will be an excellent
degree for them.”
A new cohort is scheduled to begin in March 2012.

Joining
hands with the
Indianapolis
Colts and
United Way of
Central Indiana
resulted in the
renovation and
equipping of
a new Colts-
themed fitness
room for boys and girls at Christamore House in Indianapolis.
It was the second year that IWU had participated in a National
Football League “Hometown Huddle” event. A year ago, IWU helped to
equip a room at an Indianapolis-area Boys and Girls Club.
Christamore House, a United Way agency, provides early childhood
education, after-school programming and senior citizen services. The
fitness room is part of the NFL’s PLAY 60 initiative, which encourages
youth to be active for at least 60 minutes a day.
The room, which previously had not been used, was painted to
resemble the Colts locker room and features new flooring, fitness
equipment, a universal workout machine and two Wii Fit systems with
flat-screen TVs and Colts memorabilia.
The renovations were made possible through contributions from IWU,
the Colts, NFL charities, hhgregg, Fatheads and Sherwin-Williams.
Volunteers from the Indianapolis North Education Center painted the
fitness room and participated in its dedication.
Indianapolis Colts Sponsorship Benefits Indianapolis Youth Fusion:
A High School Worship Experience
Thousands of students will gather in Indiana
Wesleyan University’s Chapel Auditorium on
March 30-31, 2012, for a worship experience
unlike any they have had before. More than a
college visit, the Fusion Youth Conference is a
campus movement dedicated to providing space
for high school students to grow closer to God
and experience the love of Christ.
Fusion, hosted by Student Ministries, is the
largest youth event in Grant County and draws
students from churches throughout the country.
IWU students play a key role in planning and
staging the conference.
“Fusion provides an awesome opportunity
for IWU students to minister to high school
students,” said Keith Chapman, one of the Fusion
student executive directors. “IWU students
are able to love these high school students by
volunteering to work the Fusion events and by
housing them in their dorm rooms which opens
up a doorway for relationships.”
More than 800 students are expected to attend
the 2012 conference. Students will participate in
the Friday Night Rally and the Fusion Conference
on Saturday, which consists of additional rallies,
multiple breakout sessions and other activities
on campus. Every student who attends Fusion
will receive a copy of Darren Whitehead’s newest
book Rumors of God: Experience the Kind of Faith
You’ve Only Heard About.
The Friday Night Rally is open to anyone,
not just high school students attending Fusion.
This year’s rally focuses on worship. Darren
Whitehead, a teaching pastor at Willow Creek
Community Church near Chicago, will speak.
In addition to Whitehead, the Brandon Grissom
Band will return to lead worship. Spoken-word
poet Sharon Irving will also perform, speaking
about the ultimate price Christ paid for us.

Kiplinger’s Personal Finance has named Indiana Wes-
leyan University one of the “100 Best Values in Private
Universities.” The report ranked the schools based on
academic quality and economic value.
IWU made the list because of a high four-year gradua-
tion rate, low average debt at graduation, good student-
to-faculty ratio, excellent on-campus resources and
overall great value, according to a news release from
Kiplinger’s. The 200 private universities and colleges on the two lists
were chosen from a pool of more than 600 private institu-
tions in America, according to Kiplinger’s.“The institutions on Kiplinger’s rankings for best value
in private colleges represent schools that provide high-
quality academics as well as affordable cost even in these
tough times,” said Jane Bennett Clark, senior associate
editor for Kiplinger’s Personal Finance. “With money tight
and the college choice so important, you have every rea-
son to expect the best bang for your buck.”
The annual Top 100 ranking appeared in the Decem-
ber issue of Kiplinger’s.
Kiplinger’s Names IWU Top Value in Universities
It was a morning of contrasting emotions as students gathered for a chapel service on November 28. The joy of beginning Advent was tempered by the tragic news that a fellow student, Christopher Backus, had died over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
“As a community of faith, we gathered in chapel services Monday to experience the power of presence and prayer,” said Dr. Keith
Newman, executive vice president.Backus was the third residential student to die during the fall
2011 semester. Leah Whittaker, 19, a member of the women’s basketball team, died August 16 at her home in Princeville, Illinois, after an eight-month battle with colon cancer.
Nicholas Dietrich, 20, died August 24 as the result of a one-car automobile accident near his home in Napoleon, Ohio.
Whittaker would have been a sophomore. Dietrich, who was majoring in psychology, would have been a junior.
Backus, an IWU junior from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, was one of four people killed November 26 in the crash of a single-engine airplane near Crystal Lake, Illinois. Backus, 22, was majoring in criminal justice.
“The tragic death of our student, along with three beloved members of the Marion community, drew us together to be reminded of our own mortality, the importance of faith and the value of relationships,” Newman said.
“Our verse of the year, Deuteronomy 31:6, calls for us to ‘be strong and courageous,’” President Henry Smith spoke to students in chapel. “When the verse was chosen, we had no idea that we would be called on so often to put those words into practice.”
“We had a much different chapel planned for today, but as we reflected on this weekend’s tragedy we believed that our community needed an opportunity to be still before God, hear from His word and offer our prayers for the Harris and Backus families,” Smith said.
Backus was aboard a plane being flown by Ray Harris, a 46-year-old Marion auto dealer, who also died in the crash along with his two daughters, Ramie Harris, 21, and Shey Harris, 20.
Professor Jack Brady, who heads IWU’s criminal justice program, described Backus as a smart and interesting student who had a lot of friends. “He always wanted to help people,” Brady said.

The Chronicle of Higher Education has named IWU one of the best colleges in the nation to work for. The results of The Chronicle’s fourth annual report on The Academic Workplace were based on a survey of nearly 44,000 workers at 310
colleges and universities. Only 111 of the institutions surveyed were recognized.
IWU won honors in two categories:
• Leadership. IWU was specifically honored for supervisors who build good relationships with their staffs by making
their expectations clear and soliciting ideas.
• Workplace. The survey said IWU facilities meet needs, the campus appearance is pleasing and steps are taken to
provide a secure environment for workers.
Colleges were honored in three categories – small, medium and large – and IWU fell into the large category with more
than 10,000 students.
IWU received similar honors in 2009 from The Chronicle of Higher Education. The weekly Washington, D.C.-based
magazine considers itself to be the most widely-read source of information for leaders in higher education.
IWU also has been honored three times in recent years as one of the Best Christian Workplaces. The Best Christian
Workplaces Institute also bases that honor on a survey of IWU employees.
IWU has about 1,000 employees.
IWU Named “Great College to Work For” in 2011
campus news
IWU ranks 25th among Regional
Universities in the Midwest in U.S. News & World Report ‘s 2012 edition of
“America’s Best Colleges.” IWU ranked
28th last year.
IWU’s overall score in the rankings
rose, and its peer assessment score
also increased. There are 146 regional
universities in the Midwest.
IWU also appeared on two
specialized lists in the 2012 rankings:
“Great Schools, Great Prices” and
“A-Plus Schools for B Students.”
IWU ranked 12th among Regional
Universities in the Midwest in the
“Great Schools, Great Prices” section.
U.S. News describes the process for
choosing colleges for this category:
“The calculation used here takes
into account a school’s academic
quality, based on its U.S. News Best
Colleges ranking, and the 2010-2011
net cost of attendance for a student
who receives the average level of need-
based financial aid.
“The higher the quality of the
program and the lower the cost, the
better the deal. Only schools ranked in
or near the top half of their categories
are included, because U.S. News considers the most significant values
to be among colleges that are above
average academically.”
The “A-Plus Schools for B Students”
were not ranked but were listed
alphabetically. IWU was one of 37
regional universities in the Midwest on
the list. U.S. News describes the process
for choosing these schools:
“So you’re a scholar trapped in the
GPA of a B student, and your heart is
set on a top college. There’s hope. U.S. News has again this year screened the
schools it ranks to identify those where
nonsuperstars have a decent shot at
being accepted and thriving – where
spirit and hard work could make all
the difference in admissions offices.
“To make this list, colleges and
universities had to admit a meaningful
proportion of applicants whose test
scores and class standing put them in
non-‘A’ territory. Since many schools truly
seek a broad, engaged student body, be
sure to display your individuality as you
apply. And emphasize why School X is
the fit for you.”
Regional universities, according to U.S. News, offer a full range of undergraduate
and master’s programs but few, if any,
doctoral programs. IWU offers master’s
degrees in business administration,
management, counseling, education,
ministry and nursing, and has a doctoral
program in organizational leadership.

Kyle Anderson says he has been
living his life in four-year blocks:
four years of undergraduate work
at Indiana Wesleyan University;
four years of medical school at
Northwestern University; four
years of residency at Cleveland
Clinic.
But Anderson is quick to say it
was his four years at IWU that laid
the solid foundation on which he
has built the succeeding years.
“I have never felt that I was limited in any way because
I attended a small university,” Anderson said. “I actually
feel better prepared and more rounded because my
IWU education was built on the strong foundation of
Jesus Christ and at a school where professors took a
real interest in students’ lives, both academically and
personally. Academically, there were no limitations
whatsoever.”
Anderson first checked out IWU at the suggestion of
his father, who had grown up in The Wesleyan Church.
“I knew I wanted to play soccer in college and major in
pre-med, and I knew I wanted to attend a small, Christian
liberal arts school,” Anderson said. “I went to IWU for a
visit and came away with a really good feeling. I got along
well with the soccer coach and was impressed by the
academic standing of the University.”
Anderson never wavered from his initial goals. He
earned four letters in soccer and was the valedictorian of
the Class of 2005 with majors in biology and pre-med.
“I’ve always been well motivated and knew what I
wanted to do,” Anderson said. “IWU provided the tools to
do it. It worked out very well.”
Prior to his senior year at IWU, Anderson and his
high school sweetheart were married in their home
state of Kansas, and the following year they headed
to Northwestern University School of Medicine in
downtown Chicago. Northwestern was Anderson’s first
choice because of its academic reputation – and because
he and his wife wanted to live in a big city.
Anderson’s wife, Laura, has an art studio degree from
the University of Missouri – and the two carried on a
long-distance relationship during their college years. They
have two children, Luke Allan and Everly Joy.
“I was fortunate enough to go straight into medical
school and had a great experience there,” Anderson
said. “I felt especially blessed to go to a school such as
Northwestern after coming from a smaller college such as
IWU. Many of my medical school classmates came from
Ivy League schools, but I never felt I was short-changed
because of going to a small school.”
Anderson decided during medical school to specialize
in dermatology and was accepted into a four-year
residency program at the Cleveland Clinic – again one of
his top choices. He will complete the residency in mid-
2013.
“I chose dermatology because I like the outpatient
clinic setting, and what it does for patients, but I also like
doing surgical procedures,” he said. “Dermatology is one
of the few fields where you can combine the two.
“I also chose dermatology, kind of selfishly, because
it is one of the medical sub-specialties that offers a
better quality of life, where you are not forced to work
particularly long hours. I always knew I wanted to be a
doctor and that was very important to me, but my family
is the most important part of my life. I did not want to
sacrifice that part of my life. I also want to be able to
take advantage of opportunities to be involved in the
community where we live and to participate in mission
events as much as possible,” Anderson said.
Anderson is the third doctor in his family. His
brother is a radiology resident at Duke University, and
their father is a veterinarian who works as head of the
diagnostic laboratories at Kansas State University, College
of Veterinary Medicine. In addition, his mother is a
registered nurse.
Anderson said he is leaning toward a general practice of
dermatology after he completes his residency.

Our 2011-2012 Verse of the Year emphasizes God’s call for us to be strong and courageous. One way I see this
call being lived out is through our scholarship program. Because of men and women who selflessly give so that
others can learn, our students graduate better equipped to live lives that are strong and courageous. Together,
we build God’s Kingdom – present and future.
Following is a listing of IWU scholarship donors and recipients. I am known for my love of stories. Every
name you see below has a story; a story in which the IWU community is honored to play a part. As you read
through these names, you are invited to offer prayers of gratitude for those faithful to God – faithful to give and
faithful to grow.
Life stories are being shaped and shared every day at IWU. I invite you to join me in waiting expectantly for
the next chapters.
God bless you.
