The LC LOVE sign that graces the Dell symbolizes more than
a century of love stories.
Josephus and Sarah Hopwood loved education. That’s what drove
them, together with local businessmen and church members, to
take a risk and open a new school. Their passion was not in financial
returns, but in preparing students for an active, engaged life.
Countless people — students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends —
loved this community and gave it a part of their hearts, some for
four years, some for a career, and some for a lifetime. Each person
gave back to the community in a personal, unique way that made
Lynchburg College the place it is today.
In recent years, this love has led to many opportunities that make
us proud: student - faculty research. Study abroad programs. A new
Student Center. A new tradition of giving back.
This year, we celebrate love for Lynchburg through the stories of
people who have made a difference in the Lynchburg community
by giving back and getting involved. We thank you for continuing
to share your love for Lynchburg with the next generation of students.

2 Annual Report 2015-16 2015-16 Annual Report 3
Whether your giving to Lynchburg College is inspired by personal love for this community, by the experiences of your family members, or by your support for the cause of education, I thank you. Your gift has allowed us to make a difference to many students.
Lynchburg has made tremendous progress over the past decades. We have helped thousands of students build the foundation for an engaged life through an education grounded in the liberal arts. Students have excelled academically on campus, in internships throughout the nation, and in study abroad programs around the world. Meanwhile, our student-athletes have won impressive victories, including multiple appearances in the national tournament. We have developed new graduate programs that train students for leadership in important careers.
But our work is not done. We have bold plans for the next several years. Guided by our new strategic plan, Vision 2020, Lynchburg will work to become a national leader for student engagement. We will work to revitalize our facilities, connect more with our alumni, and strengthen our academic programs to provide students with the best education they can receive — an education that prepares them for careers and for life in a complex world.
Your gifts to the College will support this effort, and I look forward to sharing our progress with you. I hope that you will see that your love for Lynchburg has done much good, and it will accomplish much in the years ahead.
Sincerely,
Kenneth R. Garren, PhD President Honorary Alumnus
Message from the PresidentWhen students tell us why they chose to come to Lynchburg College, there are many common themes.
They often talk about visiting campus and feeling something special. They recall moments when they met faculty members and pictured themselves in our classrooms. Many remember a good feeling about the beautiful Dell. Sometimes they use the phrase, “I fell in love.”
My experience was similar. When I was an academic dean in Roanoke, I attended several meetings on the Lynchburg campus and sensed a unique culture and attitude here. The more people of Lynchburg I met, the more I could see myself working alongside them. We shared values. We had a common commitment to providing an excellent, broad education to a diverse student body. We held high academic standards. When I learned that Lynchburg College was seeking a new president, I already had started to love this school. It has been my pleasure to have led the College for 16 years now. It truly is a labor of love.
Love for Lynchburg has moved us forward for more than 100 years. It has motivated students to be active on campus and create clubs, publications, and athletic records that inspire future generations. Love for Lynchburg has kept many alumni connected to their alma mater, providing financial support and, often, sending their children to follow in their footsteps. The generous support of other friends of the College — including parents, community members, and foundations — has helped us grow and include more students in the Lynchburg family.
Message from the Chairi love lynchburg college.This campus was my home in some of the best, most formative years of my life. The institution, its values, and the education I received here prepared me for success in my career and life. Love for the College has inspired my services on the Board of Trustees, and it is my honor to work
with many members of our community as we seek to move the institution forward.
As a community, we are honored to receive the financial support of many individuals, companies, and foundations who share our commitment to education. Thank you for sharing your love for Lynchburg, and the education we provide, with the students we serve today and will serve tomorrow.
The people of Lynchburg College are critical to our success as a community. This includes students, alumni, faculty, staff, parents of students, and friends of the institution. By working together, we strengthen our community and help the institution to meet its mission of educating students and preparing them for effective leadership in the civic, professional, and spiritual dimensions of life.
In our Annual Report to Donors this year, we introduce you to several people whose love for Lynchburg shines brightly. You will meet a recent graduate who championed her senior giving campaign, a couple who fell in love during their time as students, a family that has found a new home here after spending many years in Nicaragua, a Trustee who honored her mother by helping students study abroad, and an alumna whose family legacy of service sets an example for each of us. All of these people exemplify what it means to be a part of a community that you love.
I hope these individuals and their stories will remind us of our own reasons for loving Lynchburg and for supporting this community.
Thank you again for your support for Lynchburg College and its people.
Sincerely,
Pauline “Polly” Blackwell Flint ’71, ’73 MEd Chair, Board of Trustees

Virginia foundation for independent Colleges
Founded in 1952, the Virginia Foundation for Independent
Colleges (VFIC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that
supports 15 of Virginia’s independent institutions of Higher
Education, including Lynchburg College. VFIC contributions
that are undesignated from business and community leaders
are distributed to the non-tax supported member colleges
and universities according to a standard formula: 40 percent
on the basis of undergraduate enrollment and 60 percent
divided equally among the colleges. These contributions
are vital to Lynchburg College’s Annual Fund and other
programs such as student research, career networking,
scholarships, and library enhancements.
During the 2015-2016 academic year, Lynchburg College
received a total of $71,070 in funding from the VFIC.
This amount included $47,950 to support 29 student
scholarships, $5,000 for instructional technology, $4,500
for student research and experiential-learning fellowships,
$2,000 for campus surveillance equipment, and $11,620
to support other important initiatives. VFIC student
fellowships provided unique opportunities for LC students
to study abroad in Austria, participate in the Shepherd
Poverty Internship Program, conduct field research on
aphids at the College’s Claytor Nature Study Center,
and develop new syringe-pump coding models for
chromatography equipment.

2015-16 Annual Report 1716 Annual Report 2015-16
betty hawkins arrington’s grandfather lived close
enough to Bethany United Methodist Church that he
could have walked there. But every week, he hitched up
his wagon so he could carry buckets of water and offer
a drink to his fellow worshippers.
Betty, a member of the LC Class of 1964, draws
inspiration from that example of serving others. Every
week, she plays the organ at the same church her grand-
father attended. She also looks for other opportunities to
serve and teach. “I’m sure it’s in my bones,” she said.
In November 2014, Betty and her husband,
Larry Arrington ’71, were attending a Veteran’s Day
service in Snidow Chapel and overheard someone men-
tion that the chapel’s organ needed some repairs. This
prompted Betty to think about what she and Larry
could do. “I heard there was an opportunity there, so I
guess I just pursued it,” she said. “Maybe that was God’s
way of tapping me on the shoulder saying, ‘Betty, this is
the way you can give.’”
Betty and Larry provided the lead gift for a
fundraising campaign that paid for a renovation in
time for the chapel’s 50th anniversary. Their challenge
gift inspired a total of more than $260,000 from more
than 100 donors. Thanks to those gifts, the organ was
upgraded with new leather on its valves and a modern,
more responsive control system. The chapel received pew
cushions, a movable pulpit, carpet in the aisles, and
other upgrades to improve the image, comfort, and
acoustics.
The renovations were unveiled in special events
this past fall. On February 3, 2017, guest organist Peter
DuBois, producer and host of the nationally syndicated
radio program “With Heart and Voice,” gave a concert,
closing out a series of anniversary events.
Betty was pleased to see so many people come
together to support the project. “All we did was issue
the challenge,” Betty said. “I think people will do most
anything if they feel like they are needed. This just gave
them the opportunity.”
The Arringtons met on a blind date during
college. They married in June 1964, just a few weeks
after Betty graduated from the College and a few weeks
before the Army called Larry into active duty in Korea.
Later, he finished his accounting degree at LC while
working for the TV and appliance business owned by
Betty’s father. Betty taught Spanish for nearly 50 years,
spending most of her career at E.C. Glass High School
in Lynchburg.
As a teacher, she delighted in proving to her
students that they could actually speak and understand
Spanish. “For the first six weeks I would make them
speak only in Spanish,” she said. “Then they realize
that not only are they saying some words in a different
language, but they are understanding. And then you’ve
got them hooked.”
Seeing the chapel improvements and hearing
the restored organ during a musical showcase last fall
evoked a similar feeling. “It was just like seeing a student
that’s successful,” Betty said.
One gift inspires many

attending lynchburg college allowed Jon and
Karen Hatter to forge several life-changing relationships.
For example, their relationship with each other.
They met during their senior year, when Karen
was Jon’s Spanish tutor. The duo instantly clicked.
“We worked together the entire semester before
I worked up the courage to ask her out,” Jon said. “Her
favorite quote of mine is when I called her up and said,
‘Yeah, I can speak two languages: English and bad
English.’” They graduated in 1999, married in 2001, and
earned master’s degrees from LC in 2005 — Jon in business
administration and Karen in English education.
They also met many faculty and staff members
who gave them direction and support. “The faculty at
this school is fantastic. You can’t get a nicer crew that
really looks out for its students … that really cares about
you and your future,” said Jon, adding that his MBA
helped him secure a better position at BWX Technologies.
One especially memorable faculty member was
Thomas C. Allen, an English professor who became a
great friend. After Professor Allen passed away in 2006,
a scholarship fund was started in his name, and Jon and
Karen became regular supporters. They also named their
son Allen in honor of their former professor’s positive
influence.
Professor Allen helped inspire Karen to pursue
academic advising as a career. She now serves as coordi-
nator for LC’s Academic Coaching Program and helps
students who are struggling academically. She has a
reputation for being approachable and understanding.
“We are extremely blessed and fortunate to have some-
one like Karen on staff with the ability to both coach
academically and also support students with deep care
and compassion,” said Anne Gibbons, associate chaplain
and director of the Bonner Leader program.
The Hatters also support the LC Cares Fund,
which helps students, staff, and occasionally faculty
members with emergency financial needs, such as assis-
tance with housing, food, and medical expenses.
“We support this fund because it’s going to
touch students’ lives and provide them with the same
opportunities we had,” Karen said. “Additionally, through
my work, I try to maintain the same philosophy Tom
had during his time as a faculty member here.”
Both Karen and Jon said they feel that giving
back to LC helps other young people to have positive
experiences like the ones that shaped their own lives.
“With my profession, I am constantly working with
students and I want to see them succeed,” said Karen.
“And this is a reason I contribute to LC Cares, because
the faculty do really care. Tom Allen cared, as well. It’s
all very interlocked in my mind.
“I always tell my colleagues that I’m the lucky
one that gets to do this job,” Karen continued. “I’m back
here at Lynchburg College and when things go really
well, you can see the impact it makes on students. I just
heard from a former student who is now doing academic
coaching work at his new job, and after having worked
with me, he’s using that knowledge to work with his
students. It really makes me appreciative of this job.”
Giving for the love of LC

24 Annual Report 2015-16 2015-16 Annual Report 25
roger and carolyn keeling’s daughter, Claire ’19,
applied to only one college – Lynchburg College. In
fact, she’d never visited the campus, because Claire and
her family lived in Nicaragua, where Roger worked
as a developer. But when she finally saw LC in person
and stepped onto the Dell, however, she immediately
knew she had made the right decision. “We visited over
Christmas, and I kept asking my dad if we could drive
back over to campus. I just couldn’t get enough. It felt
like home,” said Claire.
Before long, LC was a second home to the whole
family. Shortly before Claire started college, the entire
Keeling family moved to Lynchburg. They immediately
engaged with the community, both at LC and beyond.
“You’ve got to throw yourself in if you want to be a part
of the community,” Carolyn said. That’s just what they
have done.
In addition to competing on the equestrian
team, Claire got involved on campus. Sarah Sossou,
associate director of international admissions, invited
Claire to take an internship in the Enrollment Office
and help recruit international students. The two had
grown close while Claire was considering coming
to LC — “Sarah became like a big sister” to Claire,
Carolyn said — and the opportunity to work together
shaped Claire’s experience at LC. Claire had grown up
explaining Nicaraguan culture to Americans visiting
the country, so it was natural to tell overseas students
about her love for Lynchburg College, her new home.
Roger and Carolyn got involved in the life of
LC, too. Before Claire had even taken her first class,
they joined the College’s Parents Council, a group of
parents that works to improve the student experience
at LC. They hosted a table during the College’s annual
etiquette dinner, to help teach students the proper way
to handle professional situations, and they also enjoyed
interacting with some of the international students who
attended the event.
Giving their time is a natural thing for the
Keelings. When they lived in Nicaragua, they started
two foundations to help improve the lives of people
there. Whether arranging for medical and education
teams to travel to the area or building wells to provide
clean drinking water, the Keelings worked to help
improve the quality of life for the locals of the area.
Supporting Lynchburg College is an extension
of that work, although it involves different kinds of
work. “We were in a place in Nicaragua where the need
was much more obvious. We thought that it would be
impossible to make the impact that you do there in a
place like Lynchburg,” said Roger. “But we found that
there are needs here too – they’re just different.”
Roger’s baseball coach once told him something
that really stuck with him: “The game of baseball has
given you so much, you must always give something
back to the game of baseball,” Roger recalled. “I try to
look at life the same way.”
The Keelings feel that Lynchburg has given
them and their daughter quite a bit, said Carolyn. “It’s
been tremendous to watch Claire grow during her time
at Lynchburg.”

remembering that she first learned about the world at her father’s knee, Trustee Melanie Biermann ’71, found the perfect way to honor her mother’s memory by starting a study abroad scholarship fund at Lynchburg College.
“When my mom passed away two years ago at age 95, I wanted to honor her in a way that reflected her life,” Melanie said. “Establishing the Eileen McKenna Biermann Study Abroad Scholarship Fund seemed to be the perfect idea as it combined the values of both education and travel.”
Her father, a World War II veteran of the Mediterranean Theater, told Melanie stories of his time in Italy and North Africa and of his visit to Pompeii. Even though he died when she was very young, his stories lived on in her imagination and in her memories. “I loved his descriptions of Pompeii and Naples and couldn’t wait to visit those places myself,” Melanie said.
Melanie’s mother, Eileen Biermann, made sure that Melanie and her siblings got to do just that. “During the summer of 1968, my then-widowed mother, took me ... on the ‘grand tour’ of Europe,” Melanie said. “I loved everything I saw and visited — the British Museum, the cafes of Paris, the great piazzas of Italy. And, yes, I visited Pompeii.”
That journey illustrated the importance of experiencing the world firsthand and fueled a desire to travel again. When seeking graduate schools, Melanie intentionally chose a program with a summer study abroad option in Greece. Later, as a high school teacher in Fairfax County, Virginia, she extended that same opportunity to her students.
“During that time, I often took students to Greece, Italy, and Turkey. I continued to learn and the students had their first experiences meeting different kinds of people and comparing other cultures to ours,” Melanie related.
Building upon her parents’ legacy of emphasizing the importance of world travel to their children, Melanie said she could think of no better way to honor her mother’s memory than to help future generations have the oppor-tunity to study abroad.
“I believe it is important to give back by paying it forward,” Melanie said. “One of my great friends from LC used to say, ‘The most important investment is people. Put your money and hopes there.’”
A study abroad scholarship fund is a perfect match for Lynchburg College’s present and future needs, according to Adam Trusner, LC’s director of planned giving. As the College strives to incorporate more expe-riential learning opportunities, Melanie’s contribution will help move the institution forward and send students abroad. That will help students learn through experience while becoming informed global citizens.
“Melanie wants to encourage that in our students, and LC also wants to encourage that in our students. So, it’s a beautiful merger of our shared interests,” Adam said.
In honoring her mother’s legacy by establishing a scholarship fund at LC, Melanie also blazes a trail for her fellow alumni looking to make a lasting contribution to the LC community.
“The scholarship will help support students whose education and worldview will forever be framed by their experiences abroad,” Melanie said. “I know that others share my beliefs and I hope they too will support LC students in a variety of ways.”

32 Annual Report 2015-16 2015-16 Annual Report 33
at the start of her senior year, Beth Wehr ’16
learned that she had been nominated to be a part of the
committee for the 2016 Senior Gift Campaign. Though
she knew little about fundraising, she decided this would
be a good way to get involved and help a community
that had shaped her life.
“Why wouldn’t you want to give back to the
place that has given you four years of memories?” asked
Beth. Looking back on her time at LC, she had a lot to
recall. LC gave her opportunities to develop and prac-
tice leadership skills in her sorority, Sigma Sigma Sigma,
and other student organizations. The Westover Honors
program helped her develop a more in-depth, informed
view of the world while introducing her to some of her
best friends. Her professors gave out-of-the-box learning
experiences and supportive advice. All of these experi-
ences were made possible by Beth’s scholarships.
“I can’t begin to repay Lynchburg College,”
said Beth.
On the senior gift committee, Beth encouraged
her classmates to give back. More than just getting dona-
tions, they wanted to build a culture of philanthropy.
This was reflected in the slogan that the committee chose
to define the campaign: “Leaving Your Legacy.” The
slogan became the foundation for the 2016 campaign.
Every person on the Senior Gift Campaign
committee was a student leader in one way or another,
and each of them knew the importance of making con-
tributions to LC in as many ways as possible. With most
LC students being involved on campus and making
individual contributions to the community, “Leaving
Your Legacy,” was an additional way to make their
mark on campus.
The 2016 campaign aimed to get as many
seniors as possible to donate, rather than focus on a
specific monetary goal. “Just $5 dollars,” Beth would tell
her friends, pointing out that they could skip just one
cup of coffee or a pizza and use the money they saved for
a gift to LC. She reminded her classmates that even one
small contribution would make a difference. The Senior
Gift Campaign committee also told seniors about how
their donations would support scholarships, student-fac-
ulty research, career development programs, and other
initiatives that enhance the student experience. Once
they knew how their donations would be used, seniors
were more inclined to give.
The strategy worked. The campaign received a
record number of gifts from 206 donors — almost 40
percent of graduating seniors. Beth said she hopes that
by getting students to start giving back as early as their
senior year, they will continue to give in the future.
During her senior year, Beth also realized that
she could not think of moving away from LC, considering
how much the school meant to her. “I didn’t want to
leave,” she said. So she didn’t. Just a few weeks after her
graduation, she entered the Lynchburg College Doctor
of Physical Therapy program. The first several months
of studying in that program have been phenomenal,
she said. “The faculty are very interested in our success
and work to help us in any way they can. My classmates
make me a better student and future physical therapist.”

The 1903 societyIn 1903, Dr. Josephus Hopwood fulfilled a dream of
establishing a college at which young men and women,
through spiritual and intellectual development, would
prepare for meaningful lives of leadership in their
communities. In his autobiography, Dr. Hopwood recalled
his first impression of the place which would become
Lynchburg College: “On arriving at Lynchburg, I was shown
the beautiful Westover Hotel, facing God’s great sentinels
from Pedlar Mountain to the Peaks of Otter. That was an
inspirational moment.” Dr. Hopwood had found the “ideal
college site.” He turned to his colleagues and declared,
“Boys, we’ll take it.” With great vision, he asked each of
those men to give $100 toward the purchase of the
property. These gifts, combined with a $1,000 pledge from
an area business, established what would become
Lynchburg College. The faith, vision and philanthropy of
this small group began a tradition that has sustained the
College for more than a century. To honor the
accomplishments of Josephus and Sarah Hopwood and
the many others who assisted them, the 1903 Society
recognizes alumni, parents and friends who, through their
annual support of $1,000 or more, uphold Lynchburg
College and its students. Support from members of The
1903 Society helps maintain the level of excellence that
alumni, parents, and students have come to expect.
Lynchburg College honors these donors as members of
the 1903 Society for their support of $1,000 or more
(July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016).

The Christian ChurchLynchburg coLLege is affiliated with the Christian
Church (Disciples of Christ), a denomination with
a tradition of engaging faith and reason in educa-
tion. The College was founded as Virginia Christian
College by Dr. Josephus and Sarah Hopwood and
a group of Disciples of Christ ministers and busi-
nessmen. The College receives annual funding
from the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ),
through the Disciples Mission Fund, Endowments
housed at the Christian Church Foundation and the
Thanksgiving Special Offering. In partnership with
Higher Education and Leadership Ministries (HELM),
LC stays connected to the 16 other colleges and
universities associated with the denomination. LC
has always nurtured the concept of vocation, both
for the countless pastors educated at LC and for the
laypeople who understand faith and a commitment
to justice as part of their life work.

This fund was established in honor of the Eccles family and this endowment will serve as a scholarship fund for rising sophomores or juniors who serve as excellent role models for their fellow students. This scholarship is intended to help students who have overcome significant obstacles on their path to a degree at LC, just as John and AJ have helped students reach the same goal.
