Dr. Biff Green

THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR DONORS WHO SUPPORTED FRIENDS UNIVERSITY LAST YEAR.

As Binnie and I begin the final year of our leadership role at Friends University, we have been blessed to receive many wishes for a great retirement from people we have met throughout the years.

One particularly poignant event for us occurred the Friday before Homecoming when a large group of students, faculty, staff, Board of Trustee members, alumni and other friends gathered for a group photo on the front steps of the Davis Administration Building and ice cream social along Centennial Lane to celebrate the past 20 years.

Binnie and I were deeply moved by this surprise event. The celebratory mood continued the next day with a record at-tendance of more than 1,400 people at our Homecoming block party and the Falcon’s defeat of Bethel College 43-12.

Another celebration this fall was the recognition of the Chester and Vera Pitts family as our Friends University Family of the Year. This new award was created to recognize a special family for their dedication, commitment and years of service to the University. Four generations of the Pitts family have been involved with Friends University for eight decades, and more than 20 family members have attended the University since 1949. Four family members have also served on the Board of Trustees or as employees at Friends University. Con-gratulations and thank you to the Pitts family for their ongoing involvement and

support of Friends University. Also a spe-cial thank you to Rod Pitts, chairman of the Friends University Board of Trustees, for agreeing to oversee the search for the next president of Friends University.

Work continued on the Davis Admin-istration Building’s roof replacement this fall, and we narrowly escaped another major hailstorm that hit Wichita in September. As this issue of Focus goes to print, we are still hopeful the tower por-tion of the project will be done in time to light the tower for the holidays.

Thank you to all of our donors who supported Friends University last year. We have included our 2009-10 annual donor report in this issue of Focus. Your support makes a tremendous difference in our ability to provide an independent, Christian education for our students.

PRESIDENTIAL SEARCH UPDATEThe search for the 13th president of Friends

University successfully launched this

summer with the Board of Trustees ap-

pointing a Presidential Search Committee

and engaging a nationally recognized

search consultant. Search committee

members were selected to represent the

various constituents of the University, in-

cluding alumni, trustees, faculty, academic leadership, administra-

tion, staff, students and the community-at-large.

To attract the best and most qualified candidates, a specific

search process is being followed, including adherence to strict

confidentiality by all committee members. Once finalists are an-

nounced in January, the Friends University community (including

alumni) will have the opportunity to meet each candidate during

their on-campus interviews.

The Friends University Board of Trustees is most grateful to

President Green for his exceptional service these past 20 years.

Due to his leadership, and that of his administration, the 13th

president of Friends University will lead an institution that is aca-

demically solid, financially secure and fully committed to offering

programs of the highest educational quality.

ALUMNI news

By Lisa Locke, G’01/M’04Executive Director of Alumni and Annual Fund

A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIvE DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI AND ANNUAL FUNDMany thanks to everyone who came out to Homecoming, Sat-

urday, Oct. 2. If you were able to be part of the fun, then you

know we had a record turnout of more than 1,400 people at

our Block Party dinner and carnival, and we won the football

game against the Bethel Threshers!

But what made the

football game even more

special was that our choral

alumni were invited to sing

the national anthem prior

to kick-off. With the help

of current Concert Choir

Director Rolaine Hether-

ington, approximately 45 alumni returned and sang their hearts

out at Adair-Austin Stadium. Plans are already underway to do

this again at next year’s Homecoming, so be sure to mark your

calendars for Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011.

Author Note: Lisa Locke is a 2001 graduate of the Business

Management Program and a 2004 graduate of the Master of

Human Resource Development/Organization Development Pro-

gram. While she would love to help sing the national anthem

next year at Homecoming, she will spare everyone her singing

and limit it to the inside of her car.

Senior Alumni Scholarship RecipientsEach fall, the Alumni Association recognizes those students

who receive the $1,000 Alumni Scholarship at the annual rec-

ognition luncheon. It is with great pride that the Alumni As-

sociation celebrates Andrew Moser and Jessica Mullen as our

two seniors receiving the Alumni Scholarship for 2010-11.

Moser is a computer science major from Wichita. When

not involved with the Falcon Activities and Campus Events

(FACE) committee and the Falcon Leadership Team, he en-

joys rock climbing. One of his most favorite memories was

when he and several hundred other Friends University stu-

dents went to Greensburg, Kan., to assist with clean-up of

the town after the tornado hit in 2007. After he graduates,

Moser anticipates pursuing his graduate degree.

Mullen is from Valley Center, Kan., and will graduate with

a major in business administration and double minors in ac-

counting and management. As a student, she has been part

of the Falcon volleyball team and is very involved with her

church and the children’s ministry. Mullen’s favorite class is

accounting with instructor Nichole Pendleton, and her favor-

ite trip as a student was when the volleyball team went to na-

tionals in St. Louis. She also anticipates pursuing a master’s

degree after she graduates as well as doing some traveling.

The Alumni Association wishes the best of luck to

Moser and Mullen in their senior year and to the other 10

students who received this scholarship for their 2010-11

academic studies!

FRIENDS TO THE RESCUE!It’s all about who you know – and for Greg John-

son, that’s especially true. Johnson is a member

of the food services staff on the Wichita cam-

pus. However, as a teen, he had the opportunity

to get to know Friends University alumnus Rick

Fitzgerald, G’70. You see, Fitzgerald was an as-

sistant principal at Johnson’s junior high school.

congratulations to the 2010Family of the Year!Friends University recently established the Family of the Year Award as a

way to recognize the legacy of those families who:

• have shown longevity in the number of years their family has

attended Friends University;

• are able to document that multiple members of their family tree have

attended Friends University; and

• have a history of dedicated service to the University.

The Chester and Vera Pitts family are the first family to receive the Fam-

ily of the Year Award. The family received plaques during halftime of the

Sept. 11 home football game. The Pitts family’s legacy includes eight de-

cades, four generations and more than 20 members attending Friends Uni-

versity. Family members have been involved with clubs and organizations

including Singing Quakers, University Band, Student Council, Psychology

Club, the Talisman yearbook and Sigma Delta Pi. Several Pitts family

members have participated in athletics such as football, basketball, tennis,

track and cross country.

emony.

ATTENTION CLASSES OF 1961 AND 1986!We will be celebrating your 50th and 25th milestone reunions at the Wichita campus on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011. For more infor-mation or to be part of the planning com-mittee, contact the Alumni Office.

Fast forward to 2010 at the Sept. 11 Alumni

Appreciation Tailgate – Johnson and Fitzgerald

had an opportunity to reconnect after many

years when Fitzgerald learned that, unfortunate-

ly, Johnson’s bicycle was recently stolen. As a

former Wichita Alumni Advisory Board member,

Fitzgerald approached the committee for their

help and voila! Johnson is the proud owner of

a brand new bicycle, all thanks to a relationship

that started many years ago and ended up back

at Friends University.

FRIENDS UNIvERSITY UNvEILS NEW WEBSITE FEATURES

news in FOCUS

If you have visited the Friends University

website recently, you may have noticed a

few changes.

“We’ve made recent changes to the

homepage, but we’ve also added some

new interactive features to the site,” said

Communications Director Gisele McMinimy.

The website’s homepage was recently

revised to include some new sliding head-

ers that provide targeted links to various

types of users. There are also links on

every page to request information and to

apply so prospective students can quickly

start the process toward their degree.

“We want to make it as easy as possible

for prospective students to inquire about a

degree and apply to the University and for

our on-campus community to find the links

they need on a daily basis,” McMinimy said.

She said some of the other new features

added during the past year include:

Photo Galleries – www.friends.edu/

photo-galleries

Some of the galleries included on this

page include Community Service Day

2010, 2010 Commencement, and galleries

for several Fine Arts groups.

Videos – www.friends.edu/video

This page features some past television

commercials and other miscellaneous videos.

Audio – www.friends.edu/finearts

Users can hear samples from various Fine

Arts groups. Other audio files will be added

to the site this year through an iTunesU

account.

Interactive Campus Map – www.friends.

edu/wichita-campus-map

Clicking a building on the map illustration

(or the name of a building in the list below

the illustration) will bring up a window that

shows photos and information about the

building.

Request Information Form – www.

friends.edu/request-information

Prospective students can click on a tab

that appears on the right-hand side of ev-

ery page to access a form allowing them

to inquire about a program or ask a general

question. They can also click on a tab to

apply.

Twitter and Facebook Links – www.

friends.edu

The University launched an official Uni-

versity-wide Facebook page and a Twitter

account this fall and has been working on

a pilot project with the Master of Arts in

Teaching program to launch a Facebook

page for the program.

McMinimy said the Communications

Office has been adding features to the site

since it launched in June 2009.

“The site that was launched in June

2009 had to be a ‘bare-bones’ site because

we were working with a vendor to get the

site launched and had to keep costs rea-

sonable,” McMinimy said. “We went from

a confusing, 3,000-page site to an 800-

page site at launch. We spent the 2009-10

year adding needed pages, news releases,

and homepage highlights for specific

events and activities. We’ve also worked

with our web vendor, PlattForm Advertis-

ing, to create the new interactive features.”

McMinimy said the new site is intentionally

designed to be more streamlined than the

previous website. It features more timely

news items and is focused on external

audiences. “We’ve developed and posted

more than 200 news items on the site

since the launch,” McMinimy said.

The Communications web team in-

cludes Web Coordinator Jami Pierce,

G ’08, and part-time student worker Roman

Rodriguez. They meet on a weekly basis

to discuss changes and additions so they

make the most sense to users and so

the site grows in a strategic manner. In

addition, a Friends.edu Committee meets

to discuss website issues and oversee

the site.

The Communications Office received

756 change requests during the 2009-10

fiscal year and completed 633 of those

projects. McMinimy notes the majority of

those projects took more than 10 minutes.

In addition, website content coordinators

also updated pages for their departments.

“A lot of people have put in much time

and effort to enhance our website,” Mc-

Minimy said. “We really appreciate their

hard work.”

McMinimy said the Communications

Office and the Friends.edu Committee will

be working on additional improvements

and new features for the rest of this year.

Friends Welcomes Two Deans, New FacultyBY RAcHEL KEELEY, SENIOR


Dr. Jo Lobertini read the job description for the dean of the

College of Adult and Professional Studies and was inspired

immediately.

“In the ad, everything listed was something I wanted to do or

I knew I would love to do,” Dr. Lobertini said. “It was like I had

written the job description.”

Dr. Lobertini is from east Tennessee. She received her Bachelor

of Arts in history from the University of Tennessee. She went

on to receive her Master of Arts in English and Doctorate of

Education from East Tennessee State University. Dr. Lobertini

served as assistant dean of the university’s school of continuing

studies and academic outreach, and chair of the division of

cross-disciplinary studies before coming to Friends University.

She has been married to Paul Mareth for more than four years

and has two children. Her hobbies include reading and being a

life-long learner.

Dr. Lobertini’s priorities are developing “new programming

that is targeted to specific audiences … and flexible programs

that help adults achieve their educational goals.” She wants

to widen the range of higher education opportunities for adult

students.

Dr. Steven Peters is the new dean of the College of Business,

Arts, Sciences and Education, and professor of theater.

Dr. Peters earned a Master of Arts in theater arts from Baylor

University, and a Ph.D. in theater and arts administration from

Texas Tech University. He most recently served as associate

dean of Academic Affairs and Research for the College of Fine,

Performing and Communication Arts at Wayne State University

in Detroit, Mich. Prior to Wayne State, he was director of

Wichita State University’s School of Performing Arts.

ONE-DAY WORKSHOP OFFERS GRADUATE CREDITBY ESTHER HOFFMAN, SENIOR

The Friends University Office of Gradu-

ate School Workshops hosted its first Fall

Educator Professional Development Day

Nov. 13.

The conference-style education work-

shop contained four 90-minute sessions

covering topics such as vocabulary nour-

ishment, smartboard applications, hands-

on science and learning styles.

Attendees could choose from an aver-

age of three topics per session. After the

workshop, attendees completed an assign-

ment for each session in order to receive

one graduate credit for the day.

Lunch was provided in the Casado Cam-

pus Center so attendees had a chance to

network and exchange ideas. Instructors

were also available during lunch to answer

follow-up questions from the sessions.

Twenty teachers completed the work-

shop, and Marci Shearon, director of grad-

uate workshops, thinks the conference-

style worked well.

“It highlights our adjuncts,” she said.

According to Sarah Strole, G’10, admin-

istrative assistant in the Office of Graduate

School Workshops, one major draw is some

of their most requested instructors are teach-

ing at this first conference-style workshop.

This one-day workshop was designed to

give teachers “make-it-take-it” opportuni-

ties; lessons that the teachers could imme-

diately use at work, Shearon said.

For information on future conference-

style workshops, contact Shearon at 316-

295-5588 or [email protected].

Students clear a brush pile during the community service day Aug. 23 at Camp Tawakoni in Augusta, Kan.

Almost as foundational as the Davis

Administration Building, instilling the im-

portance of community service through

service learning is valued at Friends Uni-

versity.

From May 2009 to October 2010, 28

community service events have allowed

traditional-undergraduate students to

give back.

“We are genuinely interested in help-

ing students succeed in all areas of the

college experience,” said Brian Bollinger,

director of the Office of Community and

Residential Development. “Community

service is important to Friends University,

not only in helping our students grow, but

also in giving back to our communities

and supporting the area we call home.”

Volunteers helped prepare the annual

Gingerbread Village which is sponsored

by the Assistance League of Wichita and

hosted at the Church of the Magdalen.

The Office of Community and Residential

Development sponsored a community

service day Aug. 23 at Camp Tawakoni in

Augusta, Kan., where 275 students and

employees painted buildings, repaired the

volleyball pit and cleaned the grounds.

Helping with food services is another

area in which students and employees

give back to the community. Volunteers

prepared packets of food at the Kansas

Food Bank to be distributed to community

schools. Campus Ministries volunteered

at the Bread of Life Distribution Center’s

Thanksgiving Giveaway.

Friends University also supports events

that provide community service. At the

annual “Stuff the Bus” event in December,

a bus is parked on campus, and people

are encouraged to fill the bus with items

to be donated to the YMCA Women’s

Crisis Center and Catholic Charities

Harbor House.

Spring break trips sponsored by

Campus Ministries and other campus

organizations promote missions work as

well as fellowship. Circle of Friends and

Hospitals of Hope have benefited from

the community service component of

First Year Experience, a class designed to

introduce freshmen and transfer students

to Friends University.

Upcoming community service

events include English Club and SIFE

book drives, a Concert Choir concert

for the residents at Prairie Homestead

Retirement Community, and partnering

with Kansas Corps to assist other Kansas

communities.

“We hope that each student will see

that needs exist all around them, and a

desire will grow in them to always be will-

ing to take a little time to volunteer and

serve their community, not only in college

but as they enter the world after college

and throughout their lives,” Bollinger said.

You are invited to the

second annual “Great Conversation!” from 6:30-9 p.m. March 8, 2011, at the

Wichita Scottish Rite, 332 E. First St.

This event continues to showcase Friends University’s commitment to com-

munity collaboration while raising funds for the Presidential Scholarship fund.

Participants will enjoy dinner and engage in conversation. Select your top-

three conversation topic choices from the list of 30 during registration and be

seated at a table of 10 with an expert on the topic serving as moderator.

Technology constantly Advancing Across campusBY TATSUYA HIDANO, SENIOR


Friends University has welcomed new and exciting changes

to technology across campus.

NEW FEATURES IN CLASSROOMS AND OFFICES

The University purchased 223 new PCs this year to replace

existing machines with expiring warranties. The Information

Technology department is also upgrading PCs to the

Windows 7 operating system. In addition, 21 new iMacs have

been installed in the Mac computer lab in the Olive White

Garvey Business and Technology Building.

The Information Technology Department and Student

Government Association (SGA) have partnered to provide

wireless Internet access across the Wichita campus. SGA

is committing $40,000 during the next five years to support

this initiative that students feel is important and beneficial.

Wireless access is currently available in the Business and

Technology Building, Casado Campus Center and the

Marriage and Family Therapy facility. Installation is scheduled

to be completed in all buildings by the end of the spring 2011

semester.

The University’s learning management system, Blackboard,

has been replaced with Moodle. The new system is a similar

yet more robust open-source alternative. Moodle offers many

online communication features for students and teachers,

including testing, discussion boards, grade posting and

assignment posting.

The Center for Online Learning and Academic Technology

supplies faculty and staff with interactive technologies

such as Clickers and SMART Boards. Clickers allow multiple

participants to input responses to test or survey questions

simultaneously. Results are then displayed instantly on the

projector screen for immediate feedback. SMART Boards

are interactive, touch-sensitive white boards allowing

collaboration on a large screen when used with a projector.

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

The University is in the process of upgrading its emergency

notification processes in order to be in compliance with

federally mandated changes spurred by the 2007 shooting

tragedy at Virginia Tech. By January, a new text messaging

system will be implemented, allowing the University to

inform students and employees of weather closings and

campus emergencies.

IRRIGATION SYSTEM CONTROLLED BY AN iPAD

The landscaping staff now control the irrigation system across

campus from an iPad. Previously, the system required two

staff members for operation, one on the lawn relaying control

messages to another at the control PC. Using the iPad, one

staff member can control the system, making adjustments at

their fingertips.

TESTING NEW INITIATIvES

The Athletics Department is currently testing streaming live

coverage of home games online at www.friendsathletics.com.

Also the University is testing online enrollment services

for students, including registration, invoicing, bill-pay and

refunds.

The Friends University Alumni Office is excited to invite you to join the Singing Quakers as they travel to Canada May 10-17, 2011! This eight-day excursion includes flight and hotel accommodations as well as the opportunity to enjoy performances by the Singing Quakers. Stops along the motorcoach tour include Niagara Falls, Toronto, Ottawa and Québec City.

fine artsDOCUMENTING THE HISTORY OF STAINED GLASSBY ESTHER HOFFMAN, SENIOR

Dr. Mary B. Shepard, art history adjunct faculty member, is

conducting a study of the stained glass of St. Michael-le-Belfrey,

a historical medieval church in York, England.

“This was the last great stained glass project done in the city

of York before the Reformation,” Dr. Shepard said.

Dr. Shepard is working with Dr. Lisa Reilly, professor at the

University of Virginia School of Architecture, to complete a book

about the stained glass in the church.

Friends University student Kevin Cockrell is helping Dr. Shepard

produce conservation diagrams of each stained-glass window.

“Just looking at it, you can tell what glass is original and what

[was added] later,” Dr. Shepard said.

The book will be produced by Corpus Vitrearum, a group of

international scholars devoted to the study of stained glass.

Dr. Shepard and Dr. Reilly will be the first Americans to work

on a book for the British committee of Corpus Vitrearum.

Dr. Shepard and Dr. Reilly studied the glass at St. Michael-

le-Belfrey for the month of July 2010 and plan to go back next

summer to work on the Great East Window above the altar.

During their study, Dr. Shepard and Dr. Reilly spent many

hours in local libraries, looking for accounts of how the stained-

glass panels looked through the years. There are currently no

records that pinpoint the initial installation of the glass, but

through the study of watercolors and old photographs, Dr.

Shepard thinks that none of the stained-glass panels are in their

original positions. Their medi-

eval ordering gradually was lost

because the glass was repaired

many times in its history and

then was removed from the

church windows during both

World Wars to safeguard it from

bombings.

This stained-glass depiction of St. Christopher carrying the Christ Child is displayed in St. Michael-le-Belfrey, a historic medieval church in York, England. Dr. Mary B. Shepard, art history adjunct faculty member, is collaborating on a book document-ing the church’s stained glass.

The Friends University Falcons volleyball

team battled against the Oklahoma City

University Stars in the 2010 National

Association of Intercollegiate Athletics

(NAIA) Volleyball National Championship

Opening Round Nov 20.

The Falcons entered the matchup with

more wins at 32-8, compared to OCU’s

22-11. This was the second time this

season that the teams faced off. During

the first matchup, the Falcons’ starting

outside hitter Courtney McCune was out

due to injury; and OCU won in just three

sets.

“In last year’s opening-round

appearance, we were out-matched,”

said Martin Ayin, head volleyball coach.

“This year, we knew we had to dominate

the KCAC (Kansas Collegiate Athletic

Conference) tournament. We tried to win

every game as smoothly as possible with

the biggest point spread possible.”

The Falcons were 18-0 in conference

play and swept through the conference

tournament without losing a single set in

three games.

“The ladies were firing all cannons and

hammered every team,” Ayin said. “We

knew we had to keep our caliber of play

high in preparation for nationals.”

They entered the opening round on

a 23-game winning streak and with

home-court advantage. The Falcons took

the first point of the first set. The lead

went back and forth, testing both teams

defensively and proving why both were in

the national tournament. The Stars won

the first set, 23-25.

The Stars dominated the second set,

never relinquishing the lead after the first

point. The Falcons rallied the score to 16-

19, but fell to a Stars victory of 19-25.

The Falcons jumped out to a 6-0 lead

in the third set with help from seniors

Rexanne Schilowsky and Addie Jo

Petersen. But the Stars would not fade

quietly and tied with the Falcons seven

times during the set. The Falcons won 27-

25 on the kill by McCune.

The lead in the fourth and final set

volleyed, starting with a seven-point

spread by OCU. The Falcons brought

the game to within one point at 19-20.

Ultimately, the Stars defeated the Falcons

21-25.

“We have a lot to be proud of,” Ayin

said. “Friends University’s volleyball team

has only gone to nationals three times;

the first was approximately 20 years ago.

But this team has done it back-to-back in

their college career.”Junior outside hitter Courtney McCune goes for a kill during the 2010 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Volleyball National Championship Opening Round Nov. 20. The Falcons were defeated by Oklahoma City University in a four-set match.

off-siteLENEXA MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPY ADDS STAFFBY SARA ORNELAS

From admission to internships, students of the Friends Universi-

ty Master of Family Therapy (MFT) program will notice that their

experience in the program will run even more smoothly thanks

to two new staff members at the Lenexa Education Center.

Brenda Walden has joined the MFT program as the

community service coordinator, and Nicole Parent will be

assisting with admitting new students in the program.

Walden, who is a recent graduate of the MFT program in

Lenexa, will be assisting students as they seek internships – a

requirement of the program.

“I enjoy helping graduate students and intern sites forge good

working relationships,” she said.

“To that end, I spend time getting to know each of the MFT

students, placement site coordinators and the supervisors. My

favorite thing about this job is combining my passion for people

with my love for the MFT program.”

Parent is not only an MFT staffer, but she is also a student.

After earning her bachelor’s in psychology from Friends

University, Parent said she felt called to do her graduate studies

at the University.

Although Parent says she wears many hats in her position for

MFT, she said she is primarily a recruiter for the program.

“I start by setting up information nights and answering

prospective students’ questions,” she said. “I have continuing

conversations with applicants and find myself building

relationships with them.”

Parent said she finds even more motivation for her job from

the people she works with.

“Being in a new position at Friends University, I find myself

surrounded by those who care and who want to see the

program grow,” she said.

athleticsFriends University Partners with city of Wichita to Lease Baseball Field and Stadium at West Side Athletic FieldBY GISELE McMINIMY

Friends University has partnered with the City of Wichita to

lease the baseball field and stadium at West Side Athletic

Field, 571 N. McLean Blvd. The leased facility serves as the

new home field for Falcon Baseball.

“We are excited about the partnership with the City

of Wichita regarding West Side Athletic Field,” said Joe

Zimmerman, athletic director. “The ability to have a home

field so close to our campus is of great benefit to our student

athletes, fans and campus community. Working with Doug

Kupper and his staff at the Parks and Recreation department

continues to be a rewarding experience in community

relations for Friends University.”

Doug Kupper, director of Parks and Recreation for the City

of Wichita, said the City has leased the facility to Friends

University for a nominal amount, but the agreement will save

the City $25,000 per year in maintenance costs.

“This is a great partnership that will make the community

stronger,” Kupper said. “Friends University has a facility for

their baseball program closer to their campus, and we know

they take good care of maintaining and improving their

facilities.”

Zimmerman said Friends University is reviewing ideas

and options to enhance the facility and build upon the work

already done by the City of Wichita. He also said signage at

the field is being re-done to indicate the facility will be used

by Falcon Athletics.

The Wichita City Council unanimously approved the multi-

year leasing agreement in December 2009 and Falcon Baseball

played its first game at the new location Feb. 13.

The West Side Athletic Field is located less than two miles

from Friends University on property the City of Wichita

acquired in 1940. Falcon Baseball previously competed at

Westurban Complex, 6900 W. 13th St. North, nearly six miles

from the campus.

friends annual FUND

Friends University Phonathon Continues to Grow!

By Aaron Winter, G’99/M’02, Director of Annual Fund

WE WANT TO VISIT WITH AS MANY OF YOU AS POSSIBLE.

For the third year in a row, our very own students will be doing all of the calling during the Phonathon, with a goal of raising as much money as they can for the Friends Annual Fund. One major change this year is that calling will take place at two different times, once in the fall and again shortly after the first of the year. The reason for calling during both first and second semester is to give us more opportunities to reach as many of you as possible.

During the first two years of our on-campus Phonathon, we have called for eight weeks in the winter and spring. Now we will be calling for six weeks in the fall and an additional six weeks beginning at the end of January, for a total of 12 weeks. This significantly increases our call time and will allow us to make thousands more calls than we have ever made before. Plus, by calling at two different times of year, we hope to give our callers a better opportunity of reaching people the second time around

that they were unable to reach during the first Phonathon.

While we realize a fundraising phone call might not always be everyone’s favorite call to receive, we hope you understand that it is a necessary part of our annual-giving program. By bringing the Phonathon back to campus, we have guaranteed that the call you receive will be from a Friends University student. Just a few years ago, we would not have been able to say that. Having our students call is so much better than outsourcing our calls because it gives most of you something in common with the caller, and that is your association with the University. We encourage you to engage in a conversation if you speak with a student caller. Ask them questions about what is happening around campus. We give our students the flexibility to have a conversation with you, rather than instructing them to make as many calls as possible. Of course we hope you will make a pledge, but it is more important

to us that you feel good about the call, whether you make a pledge or not.

Thank you to everyone that has already given a gift this year and to those of you that made pledges during the fall Phonathon. We also thank all of you that received a phone call and politely declined to make a pledge. Our callers routinely tell us that some of their best calls may not even result in a pledge; they just really enjoyed visiting with the person. For those of you that have not yet received a call, we hope you enjoy speaking with the students and we thank you for your consideration!

The cost of college has long caused headaches for students

and their parents. With the recession leaving a deep scar in

the economy, tuition and fees can be even more painful. But

the Friends University Financial Aid Department wants to help

students find scholarships, grants and loans to help cover costs.

“Students need to come and see us, and tell us what

assistance they need,” said Brandon Pierce, director of Financial

Aid. “And we will see where we can go from there.”

Many financial support opportunities arise during each school

year. Then the Financial Aid staff will send the information out

to students via e-mail or by mail.

As a result, 99.5 percent of eligible traditional undergraduate

students in the College of Business, Arts, Sciences and

Education (CBASE) receive some form of financial aid, and 92

percent receive institutional scholarships and/or grants, which

average approximately $8,500 per student per year.

Friends University is awarding more than $6.7 million in

scholarships for the 2010-11 academic year. The majority of

full-time CBASE students receive institutional scholarships: 86

percent receive an academic scholarship; 45 percent receive

an athletic scholarship; and 36 percent receive a fine arts

scholarship. Academic and extra-curricular scholarships are

underwritten by donations.

The financial aid application process begins with financial aid

representatives evaluating students’ pre-application forms and

assessing their financial situation. Because each student has

different financial needs, special circumstances often arise when

students meet with their representative to discuss and finalize

their application.

Representatives comb through their resources looking for

scholarship programs, federal grants and other funds to fit

students’ needs.

“We’ll do everything we can to find extra money for them,”

Pierce said. “Most of the time we are able to help.”

Incoming students will soon be able to use a financial aid

calculator on the University’s website to estimate how much

financial support they may receive.

The University will begin offering the $5,000 Hometown

Advantage Grant next fall to first-time freshmen (entering with

less than 15 credit hours) who have graduated from local high

schools. Family income restrictions apply, and students must

meet GPA/ACT enrollment requirements. The grant is designed

to assist local students in affording a private education, and

Pierce’s staff is excited to be able to offer additional financial

assistance.


Beginning in early 2011, students in the

Master of Health Care Leadership (MHCL)

program will have the opportunity to

complete courses in a hospital setting

thanks to a partnership between Friends

University and the Newton Medical

Center.

“It should be a win for all participants,”

said Dr. Robert Harvey, MHCL program

director. “I think the students will

benefit from a program at the hospital

because at least three of the adjunct

instructors are Newton Medical Center

staff. The Medical Center will benefit

from having employees go through this

program. Finally, it should benefit Friends

University in our effort to grow the

program.”

Friends University’s Lenexa Education Center is offering year-

round support, education and certification for educators two

credits at a time.

Courses are available for kindergarten through 12th grade

educators in topics that range from behavioral management to

computer literacy.

Award-winning education consultant Denny Dey has taken

the lead in developing the curriculum. Dey has created a pleth-

ora of workshops to align with the philosophy that educators

are key to student achievement, said Marci Shearon, director of

graduate workshops.

Lenexa-based courses and evaluations are consistently high

at every classroom level.

“We gather the research and attach what other teachers

across the country are using in their classrooms to the lesson

guest lecturers and consultants in the

classroom.

Dr. Harvey is confident in the

program’s ability to fill a need for medical

staff desiring additional training in the

business aspect of health care.

“Many people in health care enter

the profession with undergraduate

degrees in specialization or clinical

areas,” Dr. Harvey said. “As they have an

opportunity to grow in their field, the lack

of formal education related to business,

management and leadership acumen

creates difficulties.”

MHCL is currently offered in Wichita,

and at the Lenexa and Topeka education

centers.

“The favorite part of my position is

watching students grow,” Dr. Harvey

said. “I generally meet them in the first

course, and then get to see them present

their capstone projects at the end of the

program. It

is rewarding

to see their

professional

and academic

growth from

the time they

begin the

program until

finish.”

dedication in the health-care field.

teachers in attendance and modify the input for use in design-

ing new lesson plans to treat classroom issues in academics

and behavior.”

Spring 2011 offerings are posted at www.friends.edu/aca-

“We are offering six behavior management courses dealing

with ultimately every level of management in the school build-

ing,” Dey said.

Dey encourages teachers to enroll in the workshops to enrich

their professional skills.

“Teachers love these courses and the treatment they receive

from our amazing support staff in the offices of Graduate

School Workshops and the Registrar,” he said.

NEW LEARNING FORMATS REACH BEYOND CAMPUS


For more than 112 years, students have found an academic home inside the welcoming halls of Friends University’s Davis Administration Building. As well, they’ve stepped outside the historic building’s doors and ventured to the lushly landscaped campus and into the University’s dozens of other structures to learn and grow.

Friends University offers bachelor degree completionand graduate degree programs across the state of Kansas. Find out which programs are available in your area:316-295-5300 or 1-800-794-6945, ext. 5300;[email protected]; or www.friends.edu/request-information.

But the Falcon experience will not be contained to a building, a campus, the state of Kansas or even the United States. With new learning formats, outreach programs and specialty educational opportunities, Friends University has proved that its spirit knows no bounds.

EDUCATION CENTERS AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS

In 1989, Friends University extended its breadth across the state of Kansas to education centers in the Kansas City and Topeka areas. Additionally, partnerships with colleges in outlying communities – including Garden City, Coffeyville, Dodge City and Liberal, to name a few – allow students to embrace the Friends University experience throughout Kansas.

“We have been serving students in the Kansas City metropolitan area since 1989,” said Lisa Swaney, director of the Lenexa Education Center. “Currently, we have a wide variety of undergraduate programs to help working adults succeed in the fields of organizational leadership, business management, accounting and computer information systems. In addition, we have specialized graduate programs in business administration, healthcare leadership, business law, and marriage and family therapy.

“The Lenexa Education Center is unique in the Northeast region of the state because of our distinguished marriage and family therapy faculty who have been recognized by state professional associations for their dedication to the field. Moreover, the Friends University center in Lenexa is home to a Center on Family Living which offers affordable therapeutic services to individuals, couples and families in the Kansas City area.”

Students in Topeka have had similar experiences. “Friends University has been offering students in Topeka

the opportunity to further their education in a broad range of fields since 1993,” said Hilary Peguero, director of the Topeka Education Center. “Topeka-area residents can enroll as a freshman in the Program for Adult College Education (PACE), choose from several different bachelor programs and complete a master’s degree – all at the Topeka Education Center.”

Friends University also offers additional opportunities for students planning to transfer from all Kansas community colleges, including credit transfer agreements, financial aid and scholarships.

“Administration is currently working with Hesston College to create a transfer scholarship,” said Erin Haneberg, executive director of undergraduate admissions. “This scholarship will benefit Hesston College graduates seeking to complete a bachelor’s degree at Friends University.”

This partnership will allow Hesston College students a smooth transition from their associate degree program directly into their major course of study at Friends University because they will receive advising from both institutions. In addition, Hesston College and Friends University share many values, and both have a strong academic reputation.

ONLINE LEARNING

In addition to brick-and-mortar classroom settings, Friends University offers educational opportunities to global learners with fully online degree programs.

The University began offering online programs last spring. The Master of Business Administration, Master of Management Information Systems, Master of Arts in Teaching, and Bachelor of Science in Organizational Management and Leadership have been successful. New programs scheduled for this spring include the Bachelor of Business Administration in Business Management, Master of Health Care Leadership, and PACE Associate of General Business and Associate of General Studies degrees.

Online programs offer the same high standards as the University’s classroom settings, but busy adult students work on lessons from the comfort of their home computers. Programs are available “anywhere, anytime,” said Dr. Jay Johnson, MBA program director.

“The time is right for Friends University to offer online education to its diverse population of students,” said Dr. Mark Sanborn, director of the Center for Online Learning and Academic Technology. “We now have the ability to reach out to students and create active learning communities irrespective of place and time.”

Dr. Johnson said the online opportunities let students participate in course activities within the cohort at their own pace, but this format for learning might not be for everyone.

“While it’s hard to replace that classroom interaction, the majority of meaningful learning comes from what students do for themselves,” Dr. Johnson said. “Good online programs have served many students well.”

PRAIRIE BAND POTAWATOMI NATION

Friends University has entered an unprecedented partnership with the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation (PBPN), expanding the University’s scope and offering reservation-based tribal


FEATUREstory

citizens the opportunity to earn a degree in their community. Beginning in spring 2011, Friends University will hold

classes at the PBPN’s Government Center on the reservation in Mayetta, Kan. – 30 miles from Topeka. Students will be able to choose from 13- to 24-month degree-completion and graduate programs, including the Bachelor of Business Administration in Business Management, Bachelor of Science in Organizational Management and Leadership, and Master of Business Administration.

“This educational partnership is a natural extension of the University’s outreach development,” said Dorothy Karnowski, program representative.

Students will be able to attend classes at the tribal government center in the same format as every other Friends University student. PBNP students will benefit from the exact curriculum content, schedule and format that Friends University students across the state receive, including an online writing center, academic advising and tutoring. Beyond the programs offered on the reservation, students can take advantage of online degree programs, as well as other courses offered at the Friends University Topeka Education Center.

The online degree programs present a wonderful opportunity for other tribal nations to create their own virtual classrooms to benefit their tribal members as well. Whether they have the facilities for classrooms or not, tribes across the country can bring their tribal members together in an online cohort, or group, and work together as if in a traditional classroom setting. Friends University will work with interested tribes to build their virtual program to best benefit their needs.

According to the agreement between the PBNB and Friends University, the University will provide a traditional education program package on-site, which includes student recruitment, financial aid assistance, course instructors and curriculum, book delivery, and other items needed to complete the courses. The PBPN will in turn provide classroom space in the government center with updated audio/visual equipment and other resources to support the endeavor. Class sizes are small to allow for quality interaction among instructors, students and their peers.

“The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation is investing in its tribal members to become informed, educated leaders of the future and Friends University is proud to have been chosen to be a part of this opportunity,” said Jeanette Hanson, executive director of adult recruitment. “The Friends University mission is to provide academic excellence to a diverse community of lifelong learners, and to be able to develop this partnership to support Native American students is an honor.”

No one should be surprised to learn that Friends University’s tuition has increased significantly during the past 30 years. But what about scholarships? How much would you assume they have increased?

Earlier this fall we hosted two scholarship luncheons on our campus. We have been

hosting these luncheons for more than 20 years as a way for scholarship donors and their scholarship students to meet each other. Donors find out how their donations are helping their students achieve an education, and students see first-hand the importance of helping future generations achieve their educational goals.

Since the late 1970s, the tuition at Friends University has increased by six times to almost $20,000 for traditional undergraduate students. However, our scholarship support has increased by more than 20 times during the same period. This is an amazing testament to the commitment and power of our donors’ support!

This Donor Report recognizes everyone who made contributions of support during the 2009-10 year. Whether you established a life-changing scholarship, made a gift to the President’s Club, pledged to the annual Phonathon, or contributed your time and energy as a volunteer, your participation and generosity mean a lot to us and our students. Thank you for your support!

Hervey W. Wright IIIVice President of University Relations

from thePresIdent

Throughout my presidency at Friends University, I have felt blessed to lead an organization whose alumni, donors, faculty and staff are passionate about providing an independent, Christian education for our students. We have enjoyed the support of many people and organizations that recognize

the importance of producing students who contribute to society’s greater good.

We know that an independent university education is likely to produce students who are:

• more likely to work full-time for or contribute financially to not-for-profits;

• more involved in community service and volunteer activities; and

• more likely to believe their college experience instilled a deeper sense of values and ethics.

Our institution’s concern for others is grounded in our early days as a Quaker university, and our alumni, donors, faculty and staff understand that producing future citizens who can help improve our society is becoming increasingly important.

In these recent tough economic times, your support has made it possible for students to continue to afford an independent college education and to go out into the world and make a positive difference.

Thank you for giving generously of your money, time and talents to support our students during the past year and the past 20 years Binnie and I have been here. Your support of our mission and purpose has been a blessing to Friends University and to us personally.

Best Laid Plans By Nancy Hinten, Director of Planned Giving

I WANT YOUR BEST LAID PLANS TO OBTAIN A GOOD RESULT.

“A boss asked his employee, “Do you be-lieve in life after death?”

“Yes sir,” the employee said.“Well then, that makes everything just

fine,” the boss went on.“After you left early yesterday to go to

your grandmother’s funeral, she stopped in to see you.”

We can all laugh at this story because we can identify with that sinking feel-ing the employee surely experienced. His “best laid plans” went awry. I’m sure when his grandmother really does pass away, her death will conjure up all kinds of emotions: sadness, loss, grief, etc.

Many dear friends of the University have passed away this year: Paul Brown, G’38, Howard Rowlee, G’51, Hollis Schindler, G’52, Hazel Lister and Benny Mevey, G’53, just to name a few. Each one of these people designed a plan, well in advance of their death, as to how they wanted their treasures to be used. Friends University was blessed to be the recipient of their planning.

Planning begins with preparing your-self emotionally. Letting go of your trea-sures is hard to do. I know; my parents are in the process of downsizing. They are wisely ridding themselves of what they no longer can use or need. It is emo-tionally wearing and sometimes comical as we pull out of cupboards and off of shelves old knick-knacks lovingly given years ago by a neighbor, grandchild or friend. I have realized that all these things are a reflection of my parents’ life experi-ences – people who they touched and those who touched them. Some of these treasures, such as keepsakes passed down from their parents, are being passed on now to family members. Other treasures, such as their IRA, established a scholar-ship for students majoring in science, and they add to it each year with their annualIRA distribution. Their best-laid plans arecoming to fruition – the right people canappreciate those gifts now and in the future.

I hope you will consider sharing your treasures now or in the future with

Friends University. Scholarships are vitally important to attracting students and providing them with the education they need. They can be underwritten by a variety of treasures: no-longer-needed life insurance policies, IRA distributions and stocks.

I want your best laid plans to obtain a good result. I’d love to visit with you, or I can even send you a free Guide to Wills and Trusts, if you haven’t started planning yet. Call me at 316-295-5820 or 1-800-794-6945, ext. 5820; e-mail [email protected]; or write to Friends University Gift Planning, 2100 W. Uni-versity Ave, Wichita, KS, 67213.

Then and NowA FIERY FUNDRAISER TURNED TASTY TRADITIONBY ROMAN RODRIGUEZ, SENIOR

For 12 years, Friends University has hosted a battle of “best chili” that even the culinary connoisseurs of the campus com-munity can’t resist. Now considered a tradition, this popular event had humble beginnings.

In 1999, Shannon Maltbie-Davis was adviser to the Talisman yearbook and, as a requirement for receiving funds from the Student Government Association, was developing a new fund-raiser. The yearbook raised funds by collecting entry fees and charging a small fee to vote in the first chili cook-off.

“I remember that Shannon was really excited about planning the first chili cook-off and she was also enthusiastic about the turnout,” said Megan Hughes-Zarzo, G’00.

With attendance of about 75 and much excitement from the campus community, Maltbie-Davis and the University Events Committee, comprised of Friends University employees, knew that this fundraiser could quickly turn into a much larger event.

The Events Committee, with its staffing and resources, was able to work with the yearbook staff to create a larger event that attracted more and more participants. Yearbook staff members were able to work the event and earn their fundraising money.

cook-off in 2000 as pictured in the 1999-2000 Talisman Yearbook.

THEN and now

The Events Committee was able to waive entry fees, provide free admission and tie the event into Cherry Carnival week.

The event quickly grew with each year bringing more partici-pants and more excitement.

“I’m always amazed that it grows each year,” said Karen Scrog-gins, yearbook adviser from 2000 to 2007.

By 2010, attendance had grown to around 950 with 16 booths, the maximum number of booths that the Garvey Multipurpose

Gymnasium can hold. In addition to tasting a little chili from each booth, attendees enjoy hot dogs and drinks provided by the Events Committee.

One aspect that has seen little change is the competition. Par-ticipants can win judges’ choice best chili and people’s choice best chili. The secret judges have ranged from students, faculty, administrators and staff.

The judges and attendees also award best theme.“Each year I think, ‘how can they top that?’ and the next year

they do,” said Terri Erker, G’04, Events Committee member and chili cook-off coordinator, referring to the creativity of the booths.

Shayn Guillemette, current student and Drama Club mem-ber, said that he really enjoys participating and seeing the other booths.

“We like to take the theme and put a dramatic spin on it.” He said he also enjoys the interaction with others.“It’s the one event where you get undergraduate and adult

students, faculty, staff, administration and alumni together,” Scroggins said.

Erker thinks the chili cook-off is one of Dr. Green’s favorite events “because it involves the entire University community.”

The University hopes that this year’s chili cook-off, scheduled for Feb. 17, 2011, in the Garvey Multipurpose Gymnasium, will bring even more attendees to help celebrate Dr. Green’s last chili cook-off as University president.
