tReview of college nameannounced by Trustees

Remembering When ...

Individual attention is provided to adult students by Steve Jones.

Following their January quar-terly meeting, the Board of Trust-ees of Michigan Christian Col-lege formally announced a pro-cess to review the name of thecollege. “After months of study,the board concluded that suffi-cient information had been gath-ered to open the review processto the public,” stated Bob Utley,chairman of the board.

Immediately, Mr. Utley metwith key groups on campus toshare the board’s research andconcerns. The board then re-leased a statement to friends andalumni of the college, explainingreasons for the review processand requesting input.

“We are grateful for the feed-back that we have received thusfar from so many people,” statedMr. Utley. “The responses havebeen running overwhelmingly infavor of selecting a new name.”

“Most people have respondedto the possibility of a namechange in a similar fashion,”stated Dr. Ken Johnson, presi-

Accelerated degree program for adults finalized

Prior to the opening of the college, a sign displayed the institution’s first name and presented itsmission as a liberal arts college with Christian ideals. At the request of the state of Michigan, thecollege changed its name in 1961, but college officials are still challenged regularly withmisconceptions about the nature of the college as a liberal arts college with Christian ideals.

dent of the college. “After deal-ing with the emotion of such achange, most have expressedtheir desire for the board to takethe steps necessary for the col-lege to achieve its mission in themost effective way possible. Ihave been impressed by the genu-ine love and concern for the wel-fare of the college that so manyhave expressed.”

From the onset of the reviewprocess, the board shared its con-cern that people might fear achange in the basic nature of thecollege. “Again, I want to assureeveryone that we are unani-mously committed to preservingthe spiritual focus which has re-mained unchanged since the in-ception of the college in 1959,”stated Mr. Utley.

Addressing the next steps ofthe process, Mr. Utley stated,“The timetable approved by theboard calls for a decision at itsApril 19 meeting. If a decision toproceed is reached, we will thenbegin looking at new names.”

Weekend College, an acceler-ated degree program for adults,will make its debut on the cam-pus of Michigan Christian Col-lege on July 25. “For years, work-ing adults have expressed an in-terest in completing a degree onour campus while remainingemployed on a full-time basis,”stated Dr. Michael Westerfield,vice president for academic af-

fairs. “This innovative programwill finally meet that need.”

Initially, students enrolled inWeekend College will be able tocomplete a Bachelor of BusinessAdministration degree with amajor in management. “This pro-gram will provide a popular op-tion for those individuals want-ing to obtain management train-ing, which is the credential most

often needed for career advance-ment,” stated Dr. Westerfield.

“We will be offering all of thecourses required in this programon weekends,” stated Angela Ha-zel, director of degree comple-tion programs. “Each class willmeet one weekend per month onFriday evenings and during theday on Saturdays. Dependingupon the number of weekendsthat a person is willing to com-mit to this program, they typi-cally will be able to complete adegree within twelve to eighteenmonths.”

Open only to individuals whohave already completed somecollege work at an accreditedcollege or university, WeekendCollege also will require a mini-mum age of 23 and acceptablework experience. “Work experi-ence is a key ingredient to thisprogram,” stated Mrs. Hazel. “Aperson may be able to earn be-tween nine and thirty-two hoursof credit for prior learning in thework force.”

“Such programs as WeekendCollege are so attractive to em-ployers, that many of them willpay tuition costs for their em-ployees,” commented Mrs. Ha-zel. “In particular, this is com-mon for those employed by the

major automobile companies.”“Most students enrolled in

Weekend College will movethrough the program in a cohortgroup,” Mrs. Hazel added. “Thiswill allow students to develop arapport with one another as wellas with their instructors.”

Since classes will be limited toa maximum of twenty-five stu-dents, additional cohort groupswill begin as needed. “We projecta second group starting as earlyas September,” stated Mrs. Ha-zel. “Once the program gets un-derway, we anticipate a regularcycle of new groups.”

“In a series of meetings withother colleges and companiesthat have considerable experi-ence in adult education, we havebeen told repeatedly that Michi-gan Christian College is situ-ated in an ideal location for avery successful adult program,”stated Dr. Westerfield. “Those ofexperience tell us that most adultstudents prefer taking classeson a college campus rather thanin an office building that is rentedby a college for such purposes.We are excited about the poten-tial of this program.”

name reviewPAGE 4 SPRING 1997 MCC NORTH STAR

Board of Trustees Statement about Review of College NameBACKGROUND

In 1961, when North CentralChristian College changed itsname to Michigan Christian Col-lege, friends of the college werepleased. Our new name contin-ued to define our mission: regu-lar college education in a Chris-tian setting.

During the last 34 years, how-ever, the vocabulary of the aca-demic industry has changed. In1997 our name, Michigan Chris-tian College, carries a much dif-ferent message than it carried in1961. Today, the educationalworld and the general publicidentify “Christian Colleges” as“Bible Colleges.” Bible collegesare not regular liberal arts col-leges, but are limited-purposeinstitutions much like a “Schoolof Theology,” a “Seminary,” or an“Institute for Biblical Studies.”

“Christian Universities” do nothave this name problem becausethe word University overpowersthe word Christian. MCC, how-ever, is not yet ready to be iden-tified as a university.

LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGEFor 100% of our history, we

have insisted that our college/your college is a liberal arts col-lege. Unfortunately, today ourname says we are not a liberalarts college. Our employees (re-cruiting, development, and pub-lic relations) must continuallyovercome misunderstandingsabout the nature of the college.

For quite some time, the Trust-ees of the college have been in-volved with research into our“name problem,” studying otherliberal arts colleges that havewrestled with this issue andchanged their names, such as:

1. Arkansas Christian College... Harding College

2. West Tenn. Christian College... Freed-Hardeman College

3. Alabama Christian College... Faulkner University

4. Columbia Christian College... Cascade College

5. Atlantic Christian College... Barton College

6. Grand Rapids Baptist College... Cornerstone College

7. Eastern Baptist College... Eastern College

8. Concordia Lutheran College... Concordia University

Not one of these institutionschanged their strong Christianemphasis, but all believed theycould be more effective as a lib-eral arts college after changingtheir name.

BIBLE COLLEGESIn North America today, there

are 30 institutions named “_____Christian College.” 70% of theseare unaccredited or align them-selves as “Bible colleges.” Aver-age enrollment at these collegesis less than 300. By virtue of ourname, we are positioned in thisindustry: small, often unaccredit-ed, special-purpose religioustraining institutions - equivalentto Bible colleges.

Bible colleges are needed. Theydo have a purpose. MagnoliaBible College, InternationalBible College, and SouthernChristian University are some ofthe Bible colleges for Churchesof Christ. Yet, it has never beenthe intention of leadership atMichigan Christian College tolimit our academic offerings tofields of Bible and religion. Onthe contrary, MCC has workeddiligently to portray itself as aliberal arts college which offersbroad curricula beyond Bible andreligion. Our efforts, however,have not been able to overcomethe perception strongly carriedby our name that we, too, are aBible college.

PUBLIC IMAGE OF MCCFor a number of years, the

Trustees and administration ofthe college have been concernedabout the public image of thecollege insofar as academic scopeand academic quality are con-cerned. To address the matter,the college has raised admissionstandards, expanded degree of-ferings, strengthened the facultyand staff, developed a careercounseling office, improved cam-pus facilities, and aggressivelycommunicated image change in-formation. These changes havehad only a small impact on insti-tutional image and enrollment.

Having studied the issue atconsiderable length, the Trust-ees of Michigan Christian Col-lege have concluded that ourname seems to be a major impac-tor which portrays an unaccept-able public image for the college.

A primary public perception ofthe college appears to be (a) thatwe are an unaccredited “semi-nary” for lay persons who desireformal Bible training to enterministerial professions (i.e., aBible college) or (b) that we are aschool to be chosen by studentswho are not yet ready for a regu-lar college experience.

Many of you who labor tire-lessly for the college may be un-aware that the above accuratelyreflects a primary perception ofMCC. Others are well aware ofthis image problem, but likelyhave not related it to our name.

We, the Trustees of the col-lege, are committed to continuedefforts to reshape the public im-age of the college as a qualityinstitution which offers a broadrange of liberal arts courses in aChristian setting. We are com-mitted to leading MCC to greaterheights than she has yet known.Our commitment forces us tocarefully examine the positiveand negative impact of a changein the name of the college.

ADVANTAGES OF PRESENTNAME

Our present name has two ir-replaceable advantages:

~ the word Christian defines(for us) the most significant as-pect of our uniqueness

~ a certain value exists in thename recognition that has devel-oped between 1961 and 1997.

THE ADVANTAGES OF ANAPPROPRIATE NEW NAME

Renaming the college has anumber of advantages:

~ some of the misunderstoodimagery associated with the wordChristian can be left behind (i.e.,assumption that MCC is a Biblecollege, questions about accredi-tation, assumption that we en-dorse the right-wing national po-litical agenda of the ChristianCoalition)

~ reshaping one’s quality im-age, sometimes impossible with-out a name change, is usuallyeasier and less expensive undera new name than under the oldname

~ by leaving Michigan out of anew name, the college will bemore attractive to some non-Michiganders

~ impending advertising andmedia promotion of the college’snew academic programs for adultstudents will be more crediblyreceived if the word Christian isnot a part of the institutionalname

~ we will avoid the public con-fusion about who MCC is:Macomb Community College, orMott Community College, orMuskegon Community College,or Montcalm Community Col-lege, all of which are Michiganinstitutions that also call them-selves MCC

~ a new name should reducemisunderstanding among regu-lators and high school counse-lors about whether or not we area legitimate liberal arts college.

COMMITMENT TO MISSIONWe are keenly aware that some

good friends of the college, andsome who don’t know us as well,will question our intentions inconsidering a name change. Evenamong the Trustees, there wasinitial apprehension as the mat-ter was first raised for seriousdiscussion.

From the outset of discussion,the Trustees and administratorshave had no thought to changethe basic nature of the college,its spiritual commitments, or itsclose connection with Churchesof Christ. We are deeply commit-ted to our heritage and view thecollege as a tool in the hand ofGod to bless the church.

Our sole desire is to lead thecollege to greater effectiveness,to better service, and to increas-ing impact on growing numbersof Christian youth. We are unal-terably committed to providing acampus community where Godis enthroned, where Jesus isLord, where the Spirit changeslives, and where the Word is thefinal authority in matters of faithand religious practice. We willcontinue to gently teach thosewho enroll who have not yetsorted out truth from the maze ofteachings that exist in the reli-gious world.

Every student will still be re-quired to enroll in a specified setof Bible courses. All full-time fac-ulty and all Trustees will still berequired to be faithful members

of the Church of Christ. The col-lege will continue to have re-quired daily assembly whereemployees and students gatherfor worship, for spiritual enrich-ment, and for life-benefiting ex-periences.

We, the Trustees, are unani-mously committed to preservingthe spiritual focus of the college,but we also unanimously recog-nize that if we can improve thecollege’s academic image, ourultimate mission will be morebeneficially fulfilled.

OUR PLANThe Trustees are working

through a formal plan to reviewthe name of the college. Most ofthe research was completed byJanuary 1, 1997. Your input, yourresponse, and your commentswill be compiled and presentedat the April 19, 1997, meeting ofthe Board of Trustees. Pleasemail written comments to Mr. J.Robert Utley, Michigan Chris-tian College, 800 West AvonRoad, Rochester Hills, MI 48307.

Please feel free to share yourthoughts orally with any Trusteeor administrator. All substan-tive comments will be docu-mented.

WHAT NEW NAME?The Trustees are not presently

considering any new names. Ifand when the Trustees vote toapprove a name change, the pro-cess to select a new name willbegin. The present name reviewplan, if carried out fully, couldresult in a name change duringthe last half of 1997. Your sug-gestions for a new name are so-licited and will be considered inthe new name selection phase ofthe process, if and when thatphase is begun.

Please pray for us to be blessedwith wisdom as we continue toreview the college’s name.

For the Trustees,

J. Robert UtleyChairmanJanuary 18, 1997

Some Research ResultsQuestion: Why did your institution change its name?

Alabama Christian College to Faulkner University (1980’s)~ To change the perception that we were just a preacher

school.~ To develop as a small university.

Florida Christian College to Florida College (1964)~ To shake our Bible college image.~ Concern that “Christian” is a name for individuals, not for

organizations.

Columbia Christian College to Cascade College (1994)~ Old college closed; wanted a new name to reopen.~ Decided to not include the word “Christian” in their new

name.

Atlantic Christian College to Barton College (1990)~ We needed a less confusing first impression.~ Our name called into question our credibility as a liberal arts

college.~ Students, donors, foundations, government agencies, busi-

ness and industry, immediately saddled us with labels offundamentalism, Bible college, and ultra right-wing.

Grand Rapids Baptist College to Cornerstone College (1992)~ People stumbled at the name, thinking the college provided

a limited range of academic programs.~ Public confused us with other Baptist schools and failed to

realize we are a “real college,” not just a gussied up Christianschool.

~ We wanted a one-word name.

Arkansas Christian College to Harding College (1934)~ To honor James Harding. Trustees did consider “Harding

Christian College” but acknowledged that Christian is aname for individuals, not for organizations.

West Tennessee Christian College to Freed-Hardeman Col-lege (1919)~ Freed-Hardeman College is actually the fourth name of the

college: In 1895, WTCC changed its name to GeorgieRobertson Christian College, to honor Georgie Robertson. In1906, GRCC changed its name to Tennessee Normal Teach-ers and Business College, to broaden the public’s perceptionof the college by including in the institutional name thewords “teachers” and “business”. Finally, in 1919, TNTBCchanged its name to Freed-Hardeman College, to broadenthe public’s perception of the institution as a liberal artscollege rather than just a teachers’ college or a businesscollege; also part of a process to honor two men.

Comments by Dr. Ken Johnson at Meeting of Metro Preachersleges have the image of variedacademic programs; quality, wellrounded education; and a valu-able degree for non-ministerialemployment. For many years wehave presented ourselves as afully-accredited, liberal arts col-lege; but that is not what peopleare hearing.

Dr. Michael O’Donnell toldfriends at Spring Arbor Collegein 1996 that he was contemplat-ing coming to work at MCC. Theyasked Dr. O’Donnell two ques-tions, “Why would you go to aBible college?” And “Is that col-lege accredited?”

In 1996, during discussion withadministrators at both MacombCommunity College and OaklandCommunity College, we wereasked whether Michigan Chris-tian College is accredited. Theyassumed MCC to be a Bible col-lege, and they know that Biblecolleges are often not accredited.

When we approached Ma-donna University in 1996 abouta cooperative program to pre-pare teachers, they were puzzledwhy a Bible college would haveinterest in such an arrangement.When they learned MichiganChristian College is not a Biblecollege, they then feared a strongright wing Christian politicalagenda that would not mesh withtheir centrist approach.

When one of our alumni ap-plied in 1995 to graduate schoolin Ohio, he was advised that MCCis not on the list of accreditedcolleges. That advisor checkedonly the Bible college accredita-tion list but did not even think tocheck the listing of accreditedliberal arts colleges until ourdepartment chairman told thegrad school to check that list.

Oakland University transferadvisers often express or implybelief that MCC is not accreditedor is of low quality.

In 1996, the Michigan HigherEducation Facilities Board re-fused to recognize MichiganChristian College as a legitimateliberal arts college eligible forparticipation in their programs,saying that the college must takethem to court if MCC wishes toargue eligibility.

On numerous occasions whenone of our college Trustees hasasked his employer for gifts toMichigan Christian College, hehas had to explain that MCC isnot a Bible college before thecorporate gifts department wouldagree that MCC is eligible fortheir program.

In January 1997, one of ouralumni on break at Chryslerworld headquarters mentionedthat she was a graduate of Michi-gan Christian College. Immedi-ately she was asked, “Why didyou go to a Bible college?”

In January 1997, one of ouralumni asked a group of tenRochester persons what theyknew of Michigan Christian Col-lege. All ten thought MCC to be aBible college, more than half be-lieved it to be unaccredited, andone believed it enrolled onlymales.

In January 1997, Mr. Art Wil-liams, college Trustee, called myoffice saying, “Please send someinformation to the Pontiac SchoolBoard advising them that MCCis accredited. The school systemis presently refusing to hire twoMCC students because MCC isnot thought to be accredited.”

In January 1997, a high schoolcounselor about five miles fromthe MCC campus, where we regu-larly recruit, advised a highschool senior that MCC is not anaccredited college.

In 100% of the above situa-tions, and many more situationslike these, Michigan ChristianCollege is known only by itsname. We who are on the frontline for the college hear thesecomments routinely, in whichpersons assume that MCC pro-vides low quality education, prob-ably limited to Bible and reli-gious subjects, and is likely notaccredited.

But this perception is not lim-ited to those who don’t know thecollege. In January, 1997, one ofour alumni was at church in anearby Church of Christ. Thefollowing conversation tookplace:

Lady - Where are you going tocollege?

Student - Oakland University.Lady - I thought you were en-

rolled at Michigan ChristianCollege.

Student - Well, I graduatedthere and transferred.

Lady - What are you studying?Student - Science.Lady - Why didn’t you just start

in Oakland University’s scienceprogram instead of studyingBible at MCC?

Student - I took science atMCC. That was my major.

Lady - No you didn’t. MCCdoesn’t have science classes. Allthey have is Bible.

In 1996, I asked an areaChurch of Christ preacher whoknows MCC and our studentsvery well, “What is the percep-tion of MCC by the church?” Hesaid, “MCC is perceived as a placea student may go when he/she isnot adequately prepared to go tocollege.”

In 1996, a Lubbock ChristianUniversity faculty member dis-couraged a student from enroll-ing here, saying MCC is not ac-credited.

On one of my trips to ValleyChristian Academy, their highschool counselor (no longer there)told me she could not recommendMCC to their students.

Some of you know firsthandhow hard it is to get high schoolseniors in your congregation toconsider MCC.

Some would say, “OK, we un-derstand MCC’s image problem,and MCC’s image problem is notthe college name, but the realitythat her academic programs dolack quality.”

We have had three studies ofacademic quality in the last fouryears. The first led to approvalfor our new Bachelor of BusinessAdministration degree. The sec-

ond led ultimately to our newBachelor of Science degree. Thethird led to a routine renewal ofour accreditation. Three formalstudies all affirmed quality. Weand our regulators are extremelyconfident of the quality of ouracademic programs. Our concernis that the public, even the Chris-tian public, does not recognizethat. So, in 1996, a fourth studywas undertaken to ask, Whydoesn’t the marketplace recog-nize that high quality?

In answering, we recognizethat many factors determine theacademic reputation of a college.All of those factors are impor-tant to the leaders of the college,and have been or are being ad-dressed. Much progress has beenmade. However, the fourth studyclearly revealed that for at leasttwenty years, and perhapslonger, there has existed a majorfactor that loudly shouts “lowerquality education” that we havenot only failed to address, buthave failed to recognize. Thatfactor is the college name.

In states contiguous to theGreat Lakes, there are 56 insti-tutions with a non-universityname that includes a specific re-ligious term: Christian, Bible,seminary, theology, Baptist,Lutheran, or Nazarene. Ninety-one percent are unaccredited, orsee themselves as a Bible collegeor seminary. Average size is un-der 200 students.

In the USA, there are 30 re-maining non-university collegeswhose name contains the wordsChristian college. Seventy-sevenpercent of them are unaccreditedor align themselves with Biblecolleges. Average size is under300 students.

In the last three decades, hereis the record for Christian col-leges:

~ 5 have died (3 of the 5 asso-ciated with the Church of Christ)

~ 7 have renamed to avoid theproblem. They either changedthe word college to university, ortook an entirely different name

~ About a dozen additionalBible colleges have taken on thename Christian college

~ Only about one-half dozenhave survived for these last thirtyyears under the name Christiancollege.

Regionally and nationally, ourname positions us with small,narrow focus, often lower qual-ity institutions, and the Biblecollege industry. The greater ourappearance as a Bible college,the greater the challenge toachieve the enrollment goalsnecessary to support a liberalarts college.

We are in a time and placewhere we have two choices: be-come a liberal arts college largerin size, or die a slow death. TheTrustees do not want the latter.They have gathered sufficientevidence to be overwhelminglyconvinced that a name changewould improve the opportunityfor the former. They are nowseeking your response to theirpublic review of the college name.

In the 1950’s, Church of Christleaders in the Great Lakes re-gion, especially Michigan, Ohioand Indiana, saw the value oforganizing and developing a col-lege where Church of Christyouth would go and study at thefeet of Christian faculty as theyprepared for a career, for life,and for church leadership roles.Their vision became reality, andfor nearly forty years congrega-tions in this region have beenblessed by that college.

For all of her life, MichiganChristian College has struggledto eke out her existence as aministry of the Church of Christ.She has weathered a variety ofchallenges, not with strength, butwith survival.

Today, 1997, college Trusteesare facing another challenge thatthreatens the viability of the col-lege. That challenge is an image,forced on the college by the chang-ing world of higher education.Today, in the circles of highereducation, as well as in the mar-ketplace of life, the words Chris-tian College carry a much differ-ent message than they carried atour founding, forty years ago.

Today, Christian college tellsthe world, including some of ourown Church of Christ families,that Michigan Christian Collegeis most likely unaccredited andprobably a seminary for lay per-sons who desire formal Bibletraining to enter ministerial pro-fessions.

After two years of research,study, and inquiry, the root causeof this image is clear. It is ourname. The solution, however, ispainful, and opens the Trusteesand the college to assertions thatthe college is changing its courseif it changes its name.

Therefore, at the outset I wantto emphasize that our Trusteesare fervently committed to theChristian roots of MichiganChristian College. That commit-

ment is an overriding factor whenTrustees are selected. Half of ourcurrent Trustees are active orretired church elders. One-fourthare deacons. All of our Trusteesview the college as a tool for useby God and the church to blessthe church. Today’s discussion isnot about the Christian course ofthe college. That was decided fourdecades ago. Today’s question is,Should the college keep or changeits present name?

In October, 1991, at the firstmeeting of the Board of Trusteesof Michigan Christian Collegeafter I became president, aTrustee publicly asked, “Do youbelieve Michigan Christian Col-lege can achieve her goals if shekeeps her present name?”

I responded, “I believe we can.”I was not ready to accept that ourname may be part of the reasonthe college has failed to grow.For a while, there was no furtherdiscussion about our name.

Now, five years later, all of theTrustees are asking that samequestion. Our research into theanswer says that the college maynever achieve her goals underthe present name, because of thename.

The Trustees of MichiganChristian College are deeply com-mitted to what is best for thecollege and for Churches ofChrist. Because they hold thehighest interest of the college intrust, and because the collegehas a remarkable impact on thechurch, they are carefully andcautiously reviewing the prob-lems related to the present col-lege name.

The basic question is, DoesMichigan Christian College wantto be seen as a Bible college or asa liberal arts college? Bible col-leges have the image of small,primarily religious programs, lowquality; and they issue a degreethat is weak for non-ministerialemployment. Liberal arts col-

The founders of Michigan Christian College recognized thegreat need of the church for well-educated leaders. Throughthe college, the founders believed our youth could become well-prepared for careers and for church leadership.

Four times per year, the Trustees meet, not only to make surethe college is on course, but also to make sure the collegemaximizes opportunities to serve Christian youth. For most ofthe 1990’s, Trustee meetings have focused on changes thatexpand our opportunities. One by one, issues have been ad-dressed and thoughtful plans have been charted to takeMichigan Christian College strongly into the next century.

I’m thankful for the bold leadership of the Trustees as theyaddress the challenges that shape the destiny of the college.Their goal and mine, centrally and primarily, is to serve youngpeople in a way that strengthens the Kingdom of God.

Since that time, somemembers of the class of 1996have gone on to graduate stud-ies, while others have landed jobsas managers, social workers,sales representatives, and a va-riety of other professions.

Based upon the advice of a1995 graduate, Melany Jonesdecided to apply for a manage-ment trainee program withComerica. “I had to go through athree stage interview processover a six-week period,” statedMelany. “Fortunately, I gave alot of presentations in college, soI felt very comfortable with theprocess and got the position.”

General Motors offered Natalie

Atkinson a full-time positionbased upon her work as a collegeintern. Her first job took her toBismarck, North Dakota, whichcaused her to remark, “Thewarmth of my church familymelted the cold from the tem-perature outside - and believeme it got cold!” Already, Nataliehas been relocated to Minneapo-lis as regional district managerfor the northern region of Gen-eral Motors Parts.

“I have always loved toys,” re-marked Jeff Clark. Based uponthat interest, Jeff applied for aposition with Mattel, Inc. “Be-cause of my internship experi-ence with Power Force, Mattelwas impressed with my resume,which they filtered from Califor-nia to New York and then back to

Detroit. The district manager,who lives in Rochester Hills, com-bined two part-time positions andoffered me a job. It is an idealposition that fits my interestsand allows me to grow with thecompany.”

Although completing her de-gree in social work, Lesa Collingsdiscovered a substitute teachingjob with the Waterford SchoolDistrict. “Three days after I ap-plied, the school district calledand I have been substituting ev-ery day since.”

“Within the past couple ofweeks, I have had calls from bothComerica and Enterprise Rent-a-Car, requesting more gradu-ates,” stated Dr. Ben Noah, di-rector of career guidance andtesting. “Both stated that theylike the quality of people theyare getting from Michigan Chris-tian College, and that they wantmore just like them.”

Other members of the classcan now be found in such roles asa department manager forBarnes & Noble, a social workerat Childplace, a sales represen-tative for Energy Electric Cable,an ESL coordinator for the TroySchool District, a manager forStar Cinemas, and a socialworker at Children’s Village.

Construction on the resi-dence hall complex contin-ued throughout the wintermonths as workers shiftedtheir efforts to the interiorof the building. Solicitationfor the Foundation for theFuture campaign also con-tinued as organizers movedthe campaign closer to its$2.9 million goal.

“Until this point, we haveworked with the board, em-ployees, alumni, specialprospects, and membership of selected congregations in raising funds for this project,”stated Doug Edwards, vice president for development. “Even though we will continue tomeet with individuals in coming months, we plan to provide all friends of the college withan opportunity to participate as we initiate a phone campaign this month. We appreciatethe generous support of the many individuals who are making a dream come true.”

1996 Donors to Operational ProgramsDonors continued to rally in

support of Michigan ChristianCollege during the 1996 calen-dar year, as 1,859 individualsand organizations provided$670,173 in gifts toward theoperational expenses of the col-lege. Gift income normally un-derwrites approximately 15%of the operational budget of thecollege each year.

“When we began the Foun-dation for the Future campaignin 1994, we realized that theoperational gift income of thecollege might decline,” statedDoug Edwards, vice presidentfor development. “Fortunately,however, giving to the operational programs has remained reasonably level over the pastcouple of years, which is so crucial to the daily operation of the college.”

“It is also significant that total gifts to the college for 1995, including those made towardthe Foundation for the Future campaign, topped $1 million for the first time in the historyof the college,” noted Mr. Edwards. “Donors passed that milestone again in 1996 for thesecond consecutive year with $1,204,111 in total gifts. The dramatic improvements that

many have noticed when visiting the collegeover the past two years are directly attribut-able to the generous response of our donors.We could not have accomplished nearly asmuch without their help.”

Nationwide, over 1,000 employers contin-ued to match employee gifts to colleges anduniversities during the past year. MichiganChristian College received matching gifts from58 companies in 1996, totaling an impressive$128,209 of the college’s gift income. “Manypeople do not realize that their employers willmatch gifts to Michigan Christian College,”stated Mr. Edwards. “Many individuals actu-ally double or triple their gift to the collegewithout any additional cost to themselves bysimply submitting a matching gift form withtheir gift.” A list of matching gift companiescan be obtained by phoning the DevelopmentOffice at 1-800-521-6010.

Michigan Christian College salutes the goodpeople and organizations listed on these twopages, as well as those donors listed on pagenine that are participating in the Foundationfor the Future campaign. Regardless of thesize of their gifts or the programs they sup-ported, each donor helped provide the supportnecessary for the college to continue prepar-ing Christian youth for the 21st century.
