A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT:

to play its home games in our stadium: they, too, are excited about our new footing. The field itself is being renamed for iHigh, Inc., reflecting the new partnership between the College and the dynamic Lexingtonbased sports marketing company (which provides unique video streaming of high school and small college sporting events - on the web, nationally). iHigh will provide new technology to broadcast our games, and once again this fall youll be able to access GC football online - from virtually anywhere! We are putting emphasis on making more worthwhile online opportunities available for distance learning - within our commitment to providing valuable, interactive instruction and quality learning experiences. Currently, were marketing to gain an increase in enrollment in our Graduate Education online courses - a real plus for us as well as for the myriad of classroom teachers who are required to complete their Masters degrees within five years of earning their Bachelors degrees. Going forward - we are creating an online infrastructure which will enable us to offer quality online learning opportunities and expand our spheres of influence beyond our Kentucky borders. Our Bishop Scholars Program continues to provide students who are descendants of Bishop College alumni the opportunity to represent that institution and to be awarded legacy scholarships here at Georgetown, while keeping the name and heritage of Bishop College alive. Candidly, despite our many campus-wide successes, we continue to face a number of challenges that impact our ability to recruit top high school prospects, faculty, and even donors. A significant portion of our infrastructure is in need of repair putting us at a distinct disadvantage in many ways. Simply put, many of our buildings, walkways, roofs, dorms, and classrooms need to be upgraded, the sooner the better. We have broken ground on a new $1.7 million dollar 85-bed townhouse complex, very similar to our existing Rucker Village facility. The complex will feature a series of joined townhomes, each with three bedrooms and three baths, and, like Rucker Village, this new dorm is being built, at COST, by Barlow Homes, whose CEO is Jim Barlow, a Georgetown alum and Trustee. As Georgetowns President, I am confident in assuring you that, as a team, all of us have dedicated ourselves to Christ and our talents to nurturing our students. Building on our 225-year history, we continue to be thankful for our alumni, our friends, and the institutions recognized within this magazine, who provide financial support for our efforts to enrich the lives of students. Blessings,

s we mark the 225th Anniversary of educating young men and women on this historic site, our entire Georgetown College community continues to be blessed in many ways. Topmost on our current list: the recent visit of the SACS (the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) team, here to evaluate us for reaffirmation of our accreditation: an intense analysis by an elite cadre of individuals from peer institutions who evaluate every aspect of what we do and how we do it. This complex study helps us to understand ourselves better and to learn how we measure up to the standards established by our peers. The good news: we measure up well - the visiting team commented on how much our faculty and staff love this institution, and how hard they work to make it a success. The SACS evaluation is undertaken every l0 years - and I am most thankful to our amazing group of faculty and staff who worked closely with the visiting team to provide them with every bit of information/data/analysis that was requested. Were pleased to announce that three of our outstanding students have been named as Fulbright Scholars: Portia Watson, who will study in Thailand, and Thomas Owens and Sarah Carey, who will be in South Korea. All three are filling English Teaching Assistant roles for Fulbright. We are blessed to have them as students. Our Graduate Education department has been awarded a five-year, $1.9 million grant for the Colleges Center for Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CCRP). The mission statement cites as its goal being culturally and linguistically responsive with instruction in P-12 classrooms to improve the motivation, engagement and academic achievement of students from historically underserved populations. Special thanks to Education professors Dr. Rebecca Powell, Dr. Yolanda Carter, and Dr. Angie Cox, whose passion for helping teachers learn how to empower their students resulted in this prestigious award. In addition, we have just received notification of a new $1.1 million Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) grant, which renews their support for our science education programs. This is exciting news - more information to come in the near future. Reinforcing the important role athletics plays in the life of our College, we are proud to share two significant initiatives currently underway. Our Board of Trustees recently unanimously voted for our institution to apply to become an NCAA (National Collegiate Athletics Association) Division Two (D II) member - capping a year-long evaluative process involving coaches, faculty, alumni, and students. We feel that this is the right move for us - not only for football, but for all of our athletic teams: our experiences and successes in the NAIA have positioned us for the next chapter in the story of our athletics program. We are also in the process of installing major upgrades to our football field. We are supplanting existing grass with sports turf, and the advantages are numerous. Well be able to showcase many more sporting and outdoor events because, unlike grass, this new turf is not negatively affected by rain: the turf absorbs water, allowing the field to remain much safer and drier during downpours. An added advantage: this new surface will enable us to relocate both mens and womens soccer to the new field this year, and to add womens lacrosse to our portfolio of athletic opportunities in 2013. Scott County High School will continue

enabled the sciences to purchase researchgrade instrumentation. Key donations in 1991 by three alumni, Robert Wilson, Carl Henlein, and Earl Goode, enabled the department to purchase both a Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer and an Infrared Spectrophotometer. The Brown Foundation of Louisville provided two major grants for renovations and equipment. Dr. Fraley was fortunate to acquire three grants from the Pittsburgh Conference for electrochemical, fluorescence, and UVVisible instrumentation. Instruments have also been donated by Toyota Motor Manufacturing, KY, Procter & Gamble, and Avantor Performance Materials (formerly Mallinckrodt Baker) of Paris, KY. Additionally, Dr. Doug Figg of the National Institute of Health has partnered with the sciences at Georgetown College to provide student research internships and has shared instrumentation by way of a loan, providing the department with an elegant Liquid Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (LC-MS). Most recently, a sizable donation by Georgetown College trustee John Ballbach (right) enabled the renovation of Asher facilities, which were over forty years old. Laboratories have been updated, as well as classroom space and the lobby. Ballbachs generosity will also provide a super speed, refrigerated centrifuge for biochemistry in coming weeks. Provost Allen endorses the efforts the department put forth and the rewards. I love the new equipment - it gives students the chance to try out so many more approaches to their field.

our students recognize and reach their potential. There is no doubt that these exciting developments in chemistry are making a difference on campus. Alumnus Dr. Keith Jerome, recent campus guest and Hatfield Lecturer, said he was greatly impressed by the new instrumentation that has been added in the Chemistry department. The Chemistry faculty obviously love their work and bring a great energy to it, and this has led to some impressive successes by recent graduates. Consider the August 2011 award by the National Science Foundation: Drs. David Fraley, Todd Hamilton, and Meghan Knapp applied for and received an NSF grant for nearly $200,000. This award provided the department with four new high-powered, research-grade chemistry instruments: an X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer, a Differential Scanning Calorimeter, a Thermogravimetric Analyzer, and an X-ray Powder

Diffractometer, all to be used in the analysis of solids. Very few schools have this quality of instrumentation. The hiring of five new faculty since 1990 - David Fraley (1990, Analytical), Susan Campbell (1997, Biological), Todd Hamilton (2005, Physical), Meghan Knapp (2006, Inorganic), and Patrick Sheridan (2008, Organic) - has enabled the departmental course offerings to expand. These courses, combined with the acquisition of high-powered instrumentation, form an important framework on which to hang the liberal arts chemistry major experience. Training and equipping students are at the heart of the Chemistry Departments goals. As Fraley says, If students have exposure to them, thats good! Synergistic events have not been limited to the Chemistry Department. In 2008, GC was one of a select number of colleges invited by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to apply for a prestigious grant open to undergraduate liberal arts colleges. HHMI, the largest privately funded education initiative of its kind in the United States, is a nonprofit medical research organization that plays a powerful role in advancing biomedical research and science education in the United States. Superb grant-writing by a handful of young Georgetown professors - Meghan Knapp in Chemistry, Tim Griffith in Biology, and Danny Thorne in Computer Science - paid off, and GC was awarded 1.3 million dollars over four years, the only Kentucky college chosen to receive funding. The HHMI grant has enabled the GC sciences to provide career mentoring and research opportunities for high-achieving students, as well as develop a computational laboratory, expand course options, and reach out to underserved student populations.

Act of Courage
Kenny Davis 71 recalls Olympic controversy
Incredulous (n.)
Unwilling to admit or to accept what is offered as true.
What follows is a synopsis of righteous defiance played out on the international stage - with close involvement, then and now, by a Georgetown College graduate. Forty years ago, the United States Olympic basketball team faced the Soviets in the Gold Medal championship basketball game in Munich, Germany. Our USA team Captain was Kenny Davis, a 71 Georgetown College graduate and an NAIA AllAmerican. Within the last 60 seconds of the storied game, none in a series of unbelievable violations by the Russian team were whistled by the officials, resulting in the Soviets being awarded the coveted Gold Medal. Resultantly, the American delegation filed protests with the International Basketball Federation and to the International Olympic Commission- but the ruling on the court stood: the Russian win was upheld. The United States players walked off the court without accepting the silver medals offered to them: those tokens of humiliation are still stored , unclaimed, in a vault in Switzerland. In celebration of this 40-year anniversary of righteous defiance, Georgetown College will host a series of events in late August, honoring the courage shown in Munich by the American team. On Thursday, August 23, the College will host a First Tee Invitational Golf Outing at the Marriott Griffin Gate Course in Lexington. The entire American 72 basketball team has been invited to participate in this event, which will benefit Georgetowns popular First Tee Scholars Program. For information on participating, or helping to sponsor this event please email Judy Rush: Jrush1114@gmail.com. On Friday, August 24th, the public will be invited to Georgetowns East Campus, where Olympic team members and others will participate in a series of FREE seminars focused on the historic impact of the l972 Games. Certainly to be discussed, the horrifying incident of international terrorism during which eleven members of the Israeli team were murdered by Palestinian terrorists. According to Dr. Bill Crouch, a significant amount of credit for the reunion of this fabled team goes to Kenny Davis, who is an account executive at Converse - the founding sponsor of this anniversary celebration. Davis, who is a well-sought-after speaker on the subject of Character in Sport, has noted that he is really looking forward to having his entire team together for the first time in 40 years, and he and his team mates are honored that the College has taken the lead in organizing this commemorative event. For additional information, please visit

Former Georgetown College All-American Kenny Davis, right, captain of the 72 USA Olympic Basketball squad, and GC Executive Scholar-in-Residence Billy Reed have collaborated on a reunion of those Olympians who lost arguably the most controversial basketball game ever played.

Linking GC grads and students: a labor of love

BY CATHERINE REYNOLDS
I graduated from Georgetown in 1994 with dual English and Communication Arts majors. At the time, I was editor of The Georgetonian and saw my career on a public relations track. I never would have envisioned a career in recruiting for staffing firms. In fact, I didnt even know the industry existed when, in 1998, I answered a job advertisement for a Career Counselor. Little did I know Career Counselor is a kinder, gentler variation of Headhunter. I am very certain I would never have responded to a job advertisement for a headhunter. After graduating from Ohio State University in 1995 with an MA in journalism, I spent three years in city government public relations while my husband Michael (a 95 GC grad) attended Baylor University. When he graduated in 1998, we moved to Houston, where I interviewed for the dubious Career Counselor position. It sounded challenging, interesting, and different from anything I had done. I recruited IT professionals during the dot-com boom and bust. Through the market ups and downs, I enjoyed helping companies and people find each other. Early clues to my calling trace back to my days at Georgetown College. Dr. Rosemary Allen helped me with my first resumes and cover letters, used to apply for internships and summer jobs. Dr. Allen advised me to add a closing sentence to my cover letters I still use to this day when helping friends: I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you in

person to more specifically discuss what I might do for your company. Another clue was the chapter development program at Phi Mu on job search strategies. The speaker advised addressing a cover letter to the person to whom the position reported instead of Dear Sir, or To Whom It May Concern. She also recommended taking personalization a step further by hand-writing the recipients name on the envelope to increase likelihood of a response. These techniques really work! As a headhunter, I still use my writing and marketing skills; except now, instead of telling stories about news and events, I tell stories about people and companies. I interview hiring managers, asking what type of person they need to hire and learning as much as I can about the companys culture and selling points. Then, I look for potential candidates who match those skills, interview them and relate their stories to the hiring manager. Recruiting has evolved significantly since the late 90s. When I first started recruiting, we sent resumes to clients via fax instead of email. Classified ads from the Sunday paper ruled and online job boards were the new thing. I made lots of cold calls to build my network of clients and candidates. Today, my prospecting calls are a lot warmer, since I use social media tools to connect with potential candidates in such niche skill sets as sales, marketing, operations and technology. One of my primary tools for connecting with people is LinkedIn, a social network I have used every day since I joined in 2006.

Once you connect with a person, you can see who she knows, and who that person knows, etc. The premise behind the site is six degrees of separation. You can use LinkedIn to build your professional brand, enhance professional relationships and keep up to date on industry news in your field. You can even use LinkedIn to reconnect with alumni and friends from Georgetown College. About five years ago, LinkedIn rolled out a new feature called Groups where members can join to network around a particular industry, organization or affiliation. Anyone can start a LinkedIn group. In April 2008, I created the first LinkedIn Group for alumni of Georgetown College. The purpose of the group is to promote networking opportunities to current students, graduates and friends of the college, and it is co-administered by staff of the Graves Center for Calling & Career at Georgetown College.

Community Always!
Former VP-Enrollment Has Felt That Way Since His GC Days
BY GARVEL KINDRICK 85
One of the highlights of my career at Georgetown College occurred in January of 2010, as I delivered the annual Founders Day address. The topic Dr. Crouch gave me when he invited me to speak was the value of a Georgetown College education. From my GC graduation in 1985 until September 2011, I had been selling that value as part of the Colleges admissions and enrollment efforts. I had worked with over 9,000 incoming freshmen and their families, and the message I had for Founders Day was fairly similar to the one I had been sharing with them for years. Now, value means different things to different people. Some tie value strictly to money, others to other things. But when it comes to determining value, while many may ask what or how much, I often ask why. So my first question was: Why did I choose Georgetown? When I arrived in 1981, there was no LRC, no Wilson Fine Arts Building, no Bush Center for Fitness, no East Campus, and no Grille on the lower level of the Student Center. There had been no renovations to Montgomery Cafe, Pawling Hall, Highbaugh Hall or Alumni Gym. Of course, I did not come to Georgetown for facilities, but rather for people and philosophies. Sure, programs and curricula were part of the mix, but it was and is the people - the professors, coaches, staff, and fellow classmates - that gave value to the Georgetown experience. It is a core of people committed to the mission of Christian higher education. As I prepared for that Founders Day Address, I asked several people what they thought was valuable about GC. Many of them said the same thing: community. We even place community at the front of our vision statement: An innovative community of scholars developing ethical scholars committed to our heritage of Christian discernment. While Georgetown is a community of caring, one of its strengths is that it is a community of challenge, particularly academically. That was a huge draw for me as a prospective student and continues to be for students today. As an alum, Im proud to say that over the past 25+ years, I have seen that academic rigor increase dramatically. Another important factor was size, or rather the byproduct of GCs size: opportunity. Yes, small classes where you could not hide from a Dr. Chi question were important. But the small size, alongside the numerous extracurricular groups and organizations, gave me an opportunity to work with others and begin to formulate my abilities as a leader. For me, this would not have happened at a larger school. And there is a third component - the Christian nature of the college - that in essence frames all the other parts. It helps us see not only what to do, but how to do it. No, Georgetown College is not a perfect place. We all make mistakes. We sin, but we also can be forgiven. We are to console, understand and love as St. Francis said in his prayer. We are shown that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. One of the most valuable things I have witnessed daily at GC is the support from the community to rejoice with

Bayer Inducted into KY Teacher Hall of Fame

BY JIM DURHAM
Estelle Park Bayer 69 was just as thrilled that Latin the oft overlooked root of Romance languages shared the spotlight at the state capitol in Frankfort in February when she became the first Georgetown College graduate to be inducted into the Gov. Louie B. Nunn Kentucky Teacher Hall of Fame. Seeing a bronze relief of herself (which will be displayed in a museum at Western Kentucky University) was a bit of a shock, though. You dont ever expect to see yourself in bronze, laughed the recently retired Madison Central High School Latin teacher. Estelle is quick to say the basis for this honor can be traced back to her coming to Georgetown and having the late professor Ruth Longacre, who was known for producing more teachers of Latin than any other college or university teacher during the Sixties and Seventies. For me the study of Latin made me into a student, she said. Yes, it was the discipline, but learning it just makes you more confident in yourself and turns the student into a thinker. Years after one of her best friends, Kathy Meredith Spalding 68 steered her toward St. Louis for her first teaching job, Estelle returned home and co-chaired the Kentucky Junior Classical League for four years as well as one of the 23 national JCL conventions she attended. Among her awards: Ashland Oil Golden Apple Achiever Award (twice), the 2000 American Classical League Merita Award, Kentucky World Language Lifetime Achievement Award (08), and the University of Chicago Outstanding Educator Award (10). But, shes prouder that her students twice won the Kentucky Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages trophy for Latin and the fact she introduced many of her students to advanced placement classes. She taught two Latin super grammar classes after school so that some really bright kids could get ahead. And, in part to make sure Latin the dead language to some isnt phased out she continues to do some short-term projects with gifted-and-talented stuINSIGHTS 9

dents from Madison Middle School with the help of some from Madison Central where her daughter (Laura Dedic) is vice principal. Id really like to do it for the other kids sometime because their own language is a real mystery to them, Estelle said. Latin opens up English for them. She often thinks back to the influence her GC Latin instructor had on her and likes to think she is paying that forward. Estelle said, To know that I have helped some students be better in their chosen fields and pushed them to be better people makes me feel good. Estelle also remembers loving her English classes, especially those taught by

professors Coleman Arnold and both Gwen and Ralph Curry. Estelle said her only claim to fame in college was working on The Georgetonian for three years, including one year as Assistant Editor. Shell never forget the campus newspaper got in trouble for an article editor Bill Farmer ran about a New York Times story on the new acceptability of profanity in print. Magistra Bayer will find it hard to turn down the schools in Richmond for special Latin projects, but she intends to spend most of her time in retirement with her husband (Ben, a retired bursar at Eastern Kentucky University), their grandchildren and her father.

CHEMISTRY Continued from Page 5

Approval by the American Chemical Society is a worthy accomplishment for the Georgetown College Chemistry Department, representing a culmination of hard work by current faculty who oversaw the process and the legacy of earlier faculty who taught students with compassion and integrity. It signifies the continual progress of a department - and of all the sciences at Georgetown - committed to the improvement of students education and lifelong vocation

as learners. As Provost Allen says, Chemistry is one of the bedrock disciplines for any college that takes its academic reputation seriously. A strong Chemistry department helps support every science major, and success among science majors helps prove the academic merit of the institution, thus increasing the value of a Georgetown College degree for everyone.

GC Fulbrights
From left: Sarah Carey, Portia Watson, Thomas Owens.

Three of the seniors who walked at Commencement May 19 had a very special designation that has become associated with Georgetown College Fulbright Fellow. All from smalltown Kentucky, these extraordinary students now have the tremendous opportunity to represent both their college and their nation as they spend the next school year as English teaching assistants in Asia. Sarah Carey of Mackville and Thomas Owens from Lancaster will both teach in South Korea, while Portia Watson of Mt. Washington will be in Thailand. As campus advisor for the Fulbright Program, Dr. Allen is particularly proud that three of our students have been named Fulbrights for the third time in six years. The first time (2007), Georgetown College was featured in The Chronicle of Higher Education because it had produced three Fulbright scholars which placed us among the top liberal arts colleges in the nation for success in this prestigious competition. Repeating this accomplishment further confirms Georgetown as a college with a commitment to national standards of excellence. Twenty-six GC students have been selected as Fulbright Fellows since 1990. And, this year, all three GC Fulbrights have already had at least a taste of life abroad.

Portia Watson
Like Thomas Owens, one is likely to see her leading campus tours. She has also worked in the Garca, Brazil orphanage. If you have received a GC Phone-a-Thon call, her voice may have been one youve heard. An English and Cultural Studies double major, she spent a fall semester 2010 studying English Literature and Drama, and Art/Art History at Kingston University in London, England. Said Dr. Allen: Portia has a genuine commitment to social service. She has been active in the Georgetown College initiatives to oppose human trafficking, and her project in Thailand will include efforts in that area. She will be a force for change in the world. Portia recently began volunteering at the Kentucky Refugee Ministry as an ESL tutor. After her Fulbright year, she will seek a graduate program in cultural anthropology, social justice/social change or international development or a combination.

Sarah Carey
Sarah, a Religion minor, has traveled in Egypt and Israel. After her Fulbright year, this English major plans to pursue a Masters in English. Dr. Allen remarked, Sarah Carey will have completed her teacher certification program before she leaves for South Korea, bringing with her the depth of experience that comes from being trained in our wonderful Georgetown College Education program. I see this Fulbright experience as merely the next step in what will be a long career of teaching and learning, since she has a clearly ongoing commitment to excellence in both.

Thomas Owens
Thomas studied abroad in Czech Republic and worked two summer stints at an orphanage in Garca, Brazil through GCs Campus Ministries. He also helped rebuild a school and plant gardens for a Latino community in New Orleans during an alternative Spring Break. A Chemistry major/Biology minor, he plans to attend medical school after his Fulbright year. Said Dr. Allen: Thomas Owens is an extraordinarily dynamic young manSouth Korea should be able to feel the energy he will bring from a half a world away. Thomas is also one of the most involved students GC has ever had: Songfest Chair (2009), President of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity (2009-11); and currently, president of Alpha Lambda Delta, vice president of the Senior Class, participant in Harper Gatton Leadership Program, and co-captain of the Step Team.

GC Grads Still Growing

Gildea family experiences another culture thanks to P&G opportunity in Singapore
BY JIM DURHAM
Lucy Wiley Gildea 94 and husband Jerry Gildea 95 experienced both success and personal growth at Georgetown College. One of the inaugural Presidents Ambassadors, Lucy would graduate summa cum laude in Biology and receive the Outstanding Senior Award. Jerry, as a sophomore free safety in 91, made the interception with under two minutes to play that allowed the Tigers to run out the clock for their first NAIA football title. The ever-confident Lucy made all As except for a lone B Tennis, which was taught by (then) GC assistant football coach Bill Cronin. While Jerry did not finish second in his class, he is quick to point out that he did get an A in Tennis! To no surprise for anyone who knows Lucy, Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble has bigger plans for her. Shes been given the challenge of establishing R&D capability at a new site Singapore, Malaysia. Ill be involved in developing research innovation strategy for skin care in Asia, explained Lucy, who has a PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology from University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and is currently a Section Head Manager in the Beauty Organization at P&G. Jerry said that professionally the move will be a little tougher for him since he has been with Map Your Show since its inception a little over six years ago. MYS sells event management software to organizers of trade shows. Jerry is currently VP of Sales and while his role will be changing, hes excited about the opportunity to grow MYS internationally and allowing Lucy to seize this great career opportunity. Shes an amazing person with so much energy. She has made many sacrifices and has worked very hard to get where she is today. She truly deserves this assignment. he said. But, the couple agreed that foremost this move is an opportunity-of-a-lifetime gift for their four sons Jack, 13; Sean, 10; Louie, 6; and Ty, 3. While Cincinnati is a wonderful place to raise a family, our kids are going to experience another culINSIGHTS 11

ture and this is going to grow them tremendously, said Lucy. To make all this work, Lucy points to budgeting time wisely, being well-organized and having a husband who also knows how to perform a delicate balancing act. Jerry also recognizes the value we place on both our family and our careers, she said. Something shes learned thats also great advice for future young mothers who want a career: Be patient and understand that things dont always go the way you plan each day. You have to learn how to be agile and remain focused in all the organized chaos! She added, Fortunately, I chose a profession that I truly love. Ive figured out what works for me, what my limits are, and what I need in my life to keep me motivated. And, Im agile which is extremely critical given all of these responsibilities. Being physically agile and fit is just as important to this certified Spinning and Pilates instructor. She works out six days a week and teaches studio cycling spinning twice a week at a YMCA. Lucy Gildea gives a lot of credit to her GC Experience for the way their lives are shaping up. At Georgetown we got a great core foundation to develop those intangible leadership skills, said Lucy,

who also was active in Sigma Kappa. Jerry Gildea says (then) head coach Kevin Donley and assistants Cronin and Ernie Horning were his major influences. On the academic side, he loved the small class environment led by teachers who really seem to care about their students. There is something to be said for having a professor that knows your name, he said. Jerry fondly recalls professors Jim Heizer (History) and Bob McMurray (Business). Lucy cites getting close to faculty as a major plus of attending Georgetown. I took advantage of doing student work in the Biology lab for (Dr.) Charlie Boehms, said Lucy, who expanded her experience to two summers of meaningful work as an intern at the University of Cincinnati Anatomy Department and a year as a research technician in the University of Kentucky Department of Pharmacology. After getting her doctorate at UC, Lucy taught Gross Anatomy and Microbiology at the College of Mount St. Joseph and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Childrens Hospital Medical Center en route to becoming a scientist with P&G. As Lucy and her family prepare to relocate halfway around the world in July, she said, I am excited about the life experiences that lie ahead for both me and my family.

Great Moment In Tiger Football History

Sophomore defensive back Jerry Gildea remembers December 11, 1991 like it was yesterday: GC hosting Pacic Lutheran on old Hinton Field for the NAIA football championship: It was a cold day and a muddy eld, probably the muddiest game in the history of Gtown football. We were playing on the ROCK and holding onto a 28-20 lead over Pac Lutheran. Our offense had just fumbled the ball back to the Lutes and they were driving late in the 4th quarter hoping to tie the game. They had the ball on our side of the 50. Their QB dropped back to pass and tried to throw the ball deep down the sideline to my half of the eld. Jason Slone was playing corner and had great coverage on the play which allowed me to take a more aggressive path to the ball. I jumped in front of their receiver to intercept the ball with about 1:40 left on the clock. The offense ran out the clock to provide GC with its first national title. What a great day to be a Tiger!

Vanzant enjoys playing a part in GC successes

BY JIM DURHAM
Presidents Club member Kris Vanzant 97 and Georgetown College Chief Development Officer Roy Lowdenback 05 are so in sync that its paying huge dividends for their alma mater. Vanzant has been a regular contributor to the College in recent years because Lowdenback had just the right approach with this Lambda Chi brother. One of the asks that really resonated was for $10,000 to have a nameplate on one of the new Rucker Village townhouses. Roy brought up that this was a good place to put your name, said Vanzant, whos done quite well in mortgage lending. He and fraternity brother Alex Davenport 98 started Frontier Lending in 2001 and sold it seven years later. Vanzant then joined Stockton Mortgage as one of five loan officers and opened their Lexington office. Stockton now has 27 officers and additional locations in Georgetown, Richmond, Lebanon and Frankfort. Lowdenback is certainly appreciative to have a young donor he can count on, but its the 3 Ts he most values from Vanzant Time, Talent and Treasure. For the young fundraiser, Vanzant is free with his time and his vast knowledge about the world of finance (talent). The treasure comes in the form of passing along the names of alumni he knows have a love for GC. Kris is always putting me on to potential donors who want to be involved, Lowdenback said. During my time at the school, I could tell people who had a passion for Georgetown College, Vanzant said. Roy has In his own small way, Vanzant hopes he can give more opportunities in real estate and finance to promising GC students and mentor them as they enter the workforce. Id like to start a program with the Business Department and identify a sharp junior for an internship their senior year, he said. He envisions one student every year becoming licensed by graduation and coming aboard Stockton as a loan officer. Students need to realize, he said, that relationships you develop at GC are what really serve you well later in central Kentucky. He figures that one of five homes he closes on for Stockton Mortgage is thanks to Georgetown relationships. Many of these relationships spring from family members who graduated from GC. Kris was followed by brother Jeff Vanzant 99 and his sister Leah Vanzant Warder 01. Kris gives a special shout-out to Music professor Pete LaRue, the director of GCs Summer Camps for whom he worked. Dr. Pete has always been there for me and my brother, Vanzant said of GCs band director for whom Jeff played. LaRue was also Lambda Chi advisor during their fraternity years. On the academic side, Kris said, Business professor Zahi Haddad was always encouraging me. After college, Kris met and later married Molly Housekeeper 99, a Kappa Delta and sister of former GC football star and current assistant football coach Shan Housekeeper 03. Good friends Jamie and Lauren (Crawford) Brandenburg, both 99, were responsible for setting Kris and Molly up on blind date. GCits all about relationships!

that passion, too - and hes not afraid to sit down with anybody. He called Lowdenback a blessing for the College. Vanzant added, I enjoy living vicariously through Roys successes. Vanzant is excited about serving on the new Alumni Advisory Board. Hes one of 20 young alumni who are successful in their fields and helping their alma mater move forward. The Development officers listened to the advisors for the first time at a two-hour conversation in March. There was so much energy in that room, I could have talked for six hours, said Vanzant, who cant wait for the next meeting. I love problem-solving. One problem he hopes the advisory board weighs in on is the high cost of education. The everyday student is so in debt now, he lamented.

Carlton Community Room naming honors special parents

Larry Carlton yes, the same Friend of the College who liked the sound of an orchestra so much at Georgetown that he donated that start-up funding a year and a half ago has made another very specific, meaningful gift. Once again taking smart advantage of his companys gift-matching program, Carlton has donated the money to honor his parents on the name plate of the community room for GCs second new townhouse-style residence hall in as many years. He says his parents Dick Carlton 50, VP of Development and Director of Planned Giving for nearly 10 years at Georgetown, and Mary, who attended GC are as active as ever and doing well. They are humble people and the richest people I know, as I have seen the influence of their lives on the lives of many, said Larry Carlton, Senior Vice President/Revenue Management for Community Health Systems of Franklin, TN. Although I cannot speak for my parents, I believe they would feel having the name of the Community Room reflect their name, and/or family name, is a memorial to the fact they have been seen and acknowledged by others for all the wonderful things they have done for others whether it be through their involvement with GC or on a personal note. Stressing that he feels truly blessed, Carlton added that he hopes this gesture gives others pause to consider giving back to this world some of what they have taken. Because GC may not have the access to capital as larger institutions, in giving back to GC, one can truly see the direct impact on peoples lives and know that perhaps in some small way,

Returning the Flavor

Education majors at GC now have the opportunity to spend a semester studying in Brazil with the majority of their expenses covered by a federal grant from the U.S. Dept. of Education. This study abroad program, Diversity: Meeting the Cultural Demands of Education in the 21st Century, is offered in collaboration with Ashland University and Brigham Young University. Two rising GC juniors will be the first to go to Brazil. They are Jonathan Balmer, a History & English major (certifying in Education) from Mason, OH, and Shelby Riddell, an Art Education major from Georgetown. Both took classes in Portuguese this semester. They will leave July 23 and return December 15, 2012. Two Brazilian students just completed a semester at Georgetown: Leticia Cedro, who taught Portuguese here while taking classes herself, and Felipe Lima, who

that the grant pays for the bulk of the students expenses, including airfare, living accommodations, language study and materials. This is a unique opportunity for education students attending Georgetown College. Dr. Andrea Peach, an associate professor of education at Georgetown College, will provide support for the project as a technological consultant. The consortium between the U.S. and Brazilian institutions will provide opportunities for student exchange in upcoming years. The two Brazilian partner institutions are Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC), located in Florianoplis, and Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janerio (UFRRJ), located outside of Rio de Janerio. One goal of the project is to prepare globally aware and cross-culturally responsive educators. It is underway now and will end July 31, 2014.

Education Department receives five-year, $1.9 million grant

Receiving a call from Kentuckys senior Senator Mitch McConnell with word of approval of a major federal grant is sure to brighten any educators day. Such was the case for Dr. Rebecca Powell (pictured above), Georgetown College Professor and Marjorie Bauer Stafford Professor of Education, who received confirmation in April that the Colleges education department had been chosen for a nearly $1.9 million grant over the next five years for its Center of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CCRP) established and funded by a federal grant in 2007. This grant is an extension of that. Its focus is to offer professional development to teachers and administrators in local schools. Theres also a component to train GC Education faculty in best practices in working with English language learners. The grant to Georgetown is the only one awarded for 2012 in Kentucky and one of relatively few awarded nationally. Over the next five years, the CCRP will be working with schools in four local school districts: Bourbon County, Fayette County, Paris Independent and Scott County. According to Dr. Powell, professional development and on-site coaching will be provided in classrooms for implementing best instructional practices for English Language Learners and other students from underserved populations, e.g. students of color and students of poverty. Historically, schools have not been particularly successful in serving ELLs and students from marginalized populations, Dr. Powell said. Im excited that we now have the funding to better prepare current and future teachers to work with these students and their families. What is called Culturally Responsive Instruction Observation Protocol (CRIOP) will be used. It is a comprehensive model to observe and critique classroom instruction as well as guide the professional growth of teachers. Teacher self-assessments and pre- and post-observations in classrooms indicate that the model has potential for assisting teachers in their growth as multicultural educators, Dr. Powell says. For more on the CRIOP model, read Literacy for All Students: An Instructional Framework for Closing the Gap, edited by Rebecca Powell and Elizabeth Rightmyer (Routledge, 2011). Faculty from five different institutions of higher learning in the Commonwealth collaborated in the development of the CRIOP model, which draws from the research base on culturally relevant pedagogy. In addition to its use as a framework for professional development, the CRIOP has been used in a statewide research project directed by the Collaborative Center for Literacy Development (CCLD) at the University of Kentucky to evaluate the use of culturally responsive literacy practices in primary classrooms. UKs CCLD will serve as the outside evaluator on the success of the CRIOP model which Dr. Powell hopes will show the validity of the CRIOP instrument and show that the model is effective. Dr. Powell has been on the faculty of Georgetown College since 1993. She served as dean of Georgetowns Education Department from 2005-2009 and directed efforts leading to NCATE (National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education) acceptance. NCATE is a council of educators created to ensure and raise the quality of preparation for their profession and is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as an accrediting institution.

Students, community will be better-served

BY JIM DURHAM
Plans are in the works so that, beginning in the Fall 2012, GC students will be able to take experiential learning courses while providing meaningful service to organizations within Scott County. That could make them more employable and better human beings, as well as improve the quality of life in the communities where theyve chosen to work and live. Provost Rosemary Allen said that once the College shared its Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) in early April with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) reaffirmation committee, our QEP committee could move full speed ahead. The College intends to hire a QEP Director over the summer to be the guiding force behind the project. We see our QEP benefitting everyone involved, said Chemistry professor and department chair Todd Hamilton, coleader of the Spirit, Mind, Action Committee. From a students heightened attitude toward civic engagement and sense of satisfaction at doing good for others; to the teachers seeing their stuCOMMUNITY Continued from Page 8

dents getting more out of not only service learning classes, but hopefully a new appreciation for how knowledge gained from all classes will be part of who they become; to community organizations truly appreciating the impact our young people at the College can make. Dr. Hamilton who with staffers Anthony Rupard and Ticha Chikuni held an informational luncheon for local nonprofits and organizations last summer said, When we explained that this plan is about relationships and that they would be providing opportunities for our students to perform valuable tasks that would help their organization, they saw that were talking about a two-way demonstrate value in that environment? Trust me, schools of 15,000 and larger sell themselves as small. To do that, one must move beyond features and benefits like the ones mentioned above and focus on outcomes. While there are many outcomes to consider, the most important one for me most specifically measures the success of our students: graduation. This is one outcome/value that we all at GC should celebrate more often. Its a fact.Georgetown is in the top 5 schools in the state as far as graduation rates, with over 60% of an incoming freshman class graduating. Compare that to only 35-40% (or lower) graduation at many state/public institutions. Now, look even further. Of those who have graduated from GC in the past decade, a full 91% have done so in four years. Take GCs main public competition and you find that only 42% of all the students who graduate from there do so in 4 years. Remember, for public schools, this is 42% of the 40% who graduate or less than 20% of their entering class graduate in four years. Will there be more initial out-of-pocket expense at Georgetown (which is lessened through scholarships and grants)?

street. With organizations like Amen House, Bluegrass Rape Crisis Center, Georgetown Housing Authority, Scott County Hospitality House and Quest Farm on board, this QEP is bound to have a successful first year. By Year 5, the idea is that half the GC student body will have had a service learning course. Also, the committee anticipates as one benefit of the program that retention could reach an all-time high as more students feel a sense of purpose. All of this will help with the Colleges request for reaffirmation of accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), Dr. Hamilton said. More importantly, perhaps, the Georgetown College student when facing that prospective employer will have a great answer to a question that has greater relevance than ever before: How are you going to impact this community when you are employed?

that GC does. They have one or two, but not the other. This idea was introduced to the campus by Dr. David Forman in the late 1980s and it has been picked and sited by others, like Petersons Guide to Competitive Colleges. The synergy of these factors is where value comes from. As I worked with prospective students and parents, I focused on value every day. In their minds, they are comparing value among institutions, and a large part of that is cost. I stressed to them that to truly consider value, you have to think long-term, beyond the wallet and the first semester or year. For many, this is a very hard thing to do. I believe that for the majority of students, choosing a college is not a rational process. Nationwide, the phrase well, when I got on campus, I just fell in love with it happens all too often. Once you get students past that romantic look at colleges, their rational nature often focuses on price (believe me, parents beat them to it every time). And as they look at cost and consider Georgetown, the majority of students will be looking at Public/State institutions whose sticker prices are very much lower than that of Georgetown. How do you

Probably so. But Georgetown students are in graduate school or in a job while others who thought they were saving money are either still in school (20%) or NOT (60%) as they did not continue there or transfer elsewhere. The value of a GC education is enhanced even more as those graduates go out into the world and become successful. Value really is subjective. While I can appreciate and even better measure the financial aspect of a Georgetown College education, the value of my Georgetown education in all other aspects is immeasurable - not only because there is no good metric for it, but more importantly, because it is so vast in my life.

Morgans Heart Puts Law Studies on Hold

BY ASHLEY MORGAN 09
As the plane touched down at Kilimanjaro Airport, kilometers away from the famous mountain for which the airport was named, it felt as though my life had come full-circle. After only a short month to plan for this adventure, I had landed safely in northern Tanzania, where I would spend four thrilling months working at the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) within the Office of the Prosecutor. Was I scared? Yes. Was I excited? Most definitely. Did I even begin to realize the incredible impact such an experience would have on me? Not even close. My interest in human rights began developing during my undergraduate career at Georgetown College. I could not even begin to imagine where my interests and passions would take me when I stepped onto campus as a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, 17-year-old freshman in 2005. After finishing up my first year of college, I hopped a plane for a monthlong volunteering trip outside of Johannesburg in South Africa. It was there, surrounded by the smoke of a fire under the bright African sky, I had a conversation that would forever change the course of my life. As I was enjoying the fires warmth, Pastor Fouch, a local minister our group had been working with during the course of our trip, came and sat next to me. He began to tell me about some of the children (e.g. refugees) in his flock. He told me about a woman who had walked hundreds of miles to escape the conflict in their home country after the murder of her husband and children. He told me about the little girl who was raped while playing within the refugee settlement by a white-man from the city who would
INSIGHTS 21 The author, a Religion major/Political Science minor from London, KY, was a Campus Ministries Team leader and active in Phi Mu and, she was a passionate student of human rights violations. Now an Ambassador at Northern Kentucky Universitys Chase College of Law, Ashley Morgan delayed the start of her third year of law school so she could be a victims advocate in Africa for a semester. Shell graduate in December, then take the Kentucky Bar in February 2013. After reading her journey, is there any doubt Ashley will fulll her dream of combining her faith with practicing law?

never be punished because the girl was essentially a second-class citizen. The stories were countless. I left Africa knowing I would return someday when, hopefully, I could make a difference. So, it wasnt a surprise when almost six years later, as a third-year law student, I found myself in central Africa. Six months earlier, I had attended a study abroad program in Tanzania studying modern day slavery and human trafficking. The program incorporated a visit to the ICTR. I had met with judges, attorneys, and fellow interns, and immediately knew it was something I wanted to do in the future. I returned home in January, applied for the internship in February,

My Advisor, My Mentor
The professor who had the greatest impact on me was Dr. Sheila Klopfer. I basically took every Religion class she taught. Since graduating, I have kept in touch over e-mail and met her for lunch on occasion. She is always giving me advice, writing letters of recommendation, and encouraging me to pursue my calling. Needless to say, she is incredible. She helped to shape my GC career.

and heard at the end of July that I was to arrive at the ICTR by September 1, 2011. I had no idea exactly what I would be doing, but that didnt matter. Finally, I was doing something I felt destined to do. In Tanzania, I worked with a team of attorneys as well as my supervisor, the Chief of Prosecution at the ICTR, on the case of Bernard Munyagishari, a Hutu (the prominent ethnic tribe in Rwanda who carried out the genocide) militiaman from western Rwanda. Our team prepared the indictment to charge the Accused with genocide and other crimes against humanity. I had to read numerous witness statements about horrific events that happened in Rwanda in 1994. I also traveled there for ten days with attorneys, investigators, and translators to interview witnesses firsthand. Bernard Munyagishari is charged with creating a group of Hutu women who would find, mutilate, victimize and ultimately kill Tutsi women. You can imagine the types of statements I was reading and hearing on a daily basis. There were nights when I went home and cried. I could never imagine seeing and experiencing the horrors these witnesses had lived through. When I left, there was still much to do on the indictment, but I felt as though I made a meaningful impact. While Im not sure if Ill move back to Africa in the near future, I do want to continue to use my legal education and experiences to help those who have been victimized. Im not sure if that will be in another country or if that means working within a Legal Aid/ public interest office assisting low-income Kentuckians. I love helping others, and I am confident that my undergraduate and graduate education will assist me in accomplishing that goal.

Very Important Visitors on Campus

When Joe Sparks met the softball KDs this spring, he told the girls how proud his late wife was of their sorority. He and KD sisters established The Marilyn Dudley Sparks Memorial Endowed Scholarship in December, and Joe presented the KD house with a stained glass window Marilyn had made and displayed in their home.

The rst Kentucky Conference on Human Trafcking, March 23-24, brought national and regional speakers to campus, including Rep. Sannie Overly, left, D-Paris, sponsor of House Bill 350 (Rescue and Restore Kentuckys Children Act). Speaking is Louisville attorney Gretchen Hunt, Training Coordinator at the Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs. A generous grant from the Jenzabar Foundation made the event possible and extended the life of the Modern Day Slavery project launched by Psychology professor Regan Lookadoo.

In whats become an incredible annual day for exposing Central Kentuckys best-and-brightest to GC, the Youth Salute Awards Ceremony on May 6 brought 319 outstanding high school leaders from 55 high schools to campus. Here, Carole Harder, nationally known motivational speaker and leadership trainer for Olympic Athletes and Fortune 500 Companies, addressed the students including, from left: Shaleigha Richard, Tenise Washington, Jette Swisher, and Rebecca Edwins, all from Bryan Station High.
