Students find growth through giving By Barrett Baker

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. "

T hrough a variety of aca­demic and extracurricular activities, Christopher

Newport University students are exploring their sharing, caring nature. They are responding to the philanthropic spirit that drives them to important work as volun­teers. And they are giving back to society what they are gaining through their education and cam­pus experiences. In fact, service to others is part of CNU's mission "to provide educational and cultural opportunities that benefit CNU students, the residents of the Commonwealth ofVirginia, and the nation."

"Being on such a small campus, there are so many ways to volun­teer," said Tiffany Campbell, a member of Alpha Phi sorority and the current president of Panhellenic, the governing body for social sororities on campus.

''You can get to know the admin­istration and faculty on a personal basis, and they can open many doors of opportunity through volunteer efforts.

- Mahatma Gandhi

They have so many connections and so many resources available, students can learn outside the classroom and grow their personal values. It's really a big part of the social climate on campus."

English as a technical language Sharmeshajoynes, an English

major who graduated from CNU in 2003, attributes her current success as a technical writer with Design Engineering Services not only to a teacher with connections, but also to the grant-writing course that instructor was teaching. "Prior to taking Dr. Jean Filetti 's grant-writ­ing class, I didn't do volunteer work," says Ms. Joynes. "That course dramatically changed my life. There are things I'm doing now, things that I want to continue to do, that still stem from that class."

That class was English 355, the brainchild of Dr. Filetti, associate professor of English. "I've been out there in sort of a mother I citi­zen/community member capacity working with organizations," said Dr. Filetti. "I've seen how organiza­tions are trying to do all these

wonderful things, even though

they are understaffed and under­funded, and I tried to think of a way that we could help them." The result was a grant-writing course that is part of the Department of English's Technical Writing concentration.

"When I first started the course, we wrote grants for imaginary organizations, and it just didn't work," said Dr. Filetti. The follow­ing year, she tweaked the course to marry technical aspects of grant­writing with real-world application, requiring students to volunteer with a nonprofit organization as part of their course work. "So now my students are feeding the home­less, working with children in shelters and delivering food from the Foodbank to various places throughout the community," she said. "And they can write, I think, more effectively about the work of the nonprofit in their grants because they're doing the work."

Ms. Joynes, who partnered with the Peninsula Foodbank for her course requirement, still volunteers there, in addition to working for another local company as a techni­cal writer. "As a volunteer, I have written grants to fund the Foodbank's Kids' Cafe program, which assists after-school kids with a place to eat and study, and to develop home economic skills -such as cooking, nutrition and food safety- so they can be more efficient at home.

''I'm glad the opportunity was presented to me," she continued, "because I got to see the other side, and that's one of the things that benefits a grant writer - when you can get involved. It's easy to just write something, but it's much

more profound when you have

experience to back it up. I saw the kids, I

saw the expressions on their faces, I saw the needs that they had, and I was able to assist them.

"By doing that I was able to write a grant that had some experience behind it. And anyone who read it could clearly see that this is a need­based program, and these kids greatly benefit from it. But beyond that, it helped to develop me per­sonally. I became a more diverse person, a more accepting person, and now I understand why things work the way they do sometimes."

Greeking in the details Kamilah Quash, a senior who

will be graduating this spring and president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., a histori­cally black com­munity service sorori­ty, believes in the importance of giving.

"Being involved with the commu­nity is important to me because I've been given the opportunity to go to school," she said. "I've been given so much, it's important to give back to people who may not be able to do the same things -whether it be financial, whether it be clothing, food, donating my time at a local nursing home­something that's making a differ­ence in someone's life.

"I get to serve as a role model to younger children who look at me and say 'I want to be like her some­day.' And the only way that they can be like me, or like a member of another sorority, is if they go to college. In turn, they know they have to strive to do well in school, so they'll have the chance to go to college and continue the cycle -to help the community."

Pete Sasso, a senior who is founder and past president of Tau Delta Phi, believes in the principles of servant

leadership so much, he started a new fraternity chapter at CNU.

"I started Tau Delta Phi to estab­lish a legacy at CNU," Pete said. "It is a legacy that begins with my father, who is also a Tau Delta Phi. But more to the point, its organiza­tional values were consistent with my own. I believe in servant lead­ership. You have to serve oth-ers first in order to lead and show them the way to something better.

Tau Delta Phi historically stands for the principles of service: service to self, community and brother. It was just a good match."

Not just roamin' around

Circle K is the largest nonprofit service organization in the world at the college level. It is the student equiva­lent of Kiwanis International Club, Circle K's sponsor­ing organization.

"Circle K provides an excellent opportunity out­side of Greek life for CNU students to participate in a variety of community activi­ties," said senior Ashleigh Balsamo, CNU's Circle K

difference in the community." "Every Friday we go to an assist­

ed living community," Ashleigh said. "We do everything there from socials with the residents to build­ing gingerbread houses and play­ing our weekly game of Bunko. We also volunteer in programs through CNU Campus Ministries, in which Circle K members feed the homeless within the Hampton Roads area. Our club also devel­oped a program called 'Crochet for Kids.' We receive donations from local art supply stores, and we crochet or knit scarves, hats and blankets for women and chil­dren in local shelters."

Ashleigh added, "I think it's very important for us to give back to the community because we're help­ing to make improvements for our future, and it shows that we sin­cerely care and take pride in our surroundings."

Leading by example The President's Leadership

Program provides students with opportunities to get to know them­selves through self-study and by interacting with others. Through classroom and "real world" chal­lenges, they gain a better insight of the leadership process and how it works in a group dynamic.

"Part of what we teach in the program is a lifestyle of servant leadership," said Cristin Toutsi, coordinator of the President's Leadership Program. "We ask that our PLP students do 12 to 13 hours of volunteer work every semester, so they develop a lifestyle of service to their communities. The majority of the time, they do 30 or 40 hours a semester. It gives them a chance to establish rela­tionships in the community, as well as exposing them to

they are passionate about. We real­ly instill in our students that when so much has been given to you, and you take on leadership roles in life, you have a responsibility to help others. That's how communi­ties thrive. That's how society thrives- through volunteers who relentlessly give their time and energy.

"Society needs active participants who are willing to make tomorrow better than today. These servant leaders become role models for their peers and therefore create a chain-reaction. More and more CNU students are volunteering in the community than ever before. This can be attributed to the emphasis on citizenship and ser­vice learning that our program facilitates."

Emily Low, a senior math major with a minor in leadership studies, was reading Parade magazine one Sunday and saw an announcement for a nationwide campaign to help feed those who were left hungry by hurricane disasters in the Gulf Coast. She organized the CNU version of "The Great American Bakeoff' for Share Our Strength, an international organization that helps supply food to the hungry. Emily solicited donations from stores such as Harris Teeter and Steve's European Bakery and Cafe, and she also encouraged students to bake items for the cause. Her efforts resulted in $300 being raised for the national effort.

Seniors Ariel Wallingsford and Maureen Iselin are leaders in the President's Leadership Program. In 2005, these women envisioned a conference for local youth as a community outreach project.

The result was the Middle School Leadership Conference Committee. In conjunction with Newport News Public Schools, middle school stu­dents came to CNU for a full day of workshops and a tour of the campus. The objectives were to get them excited about taking on lead­ership roles in their school, to help them learn what it means to be a school leader, give them an insight into how leadership can provide motivation to realize their poten­tial, and instill the desire to start planning for a college experience. It was a huge success last year, they said, and they are planning it again this year with help from faculty and staff.

Stephanie Whitt, a sophomore majoring in social work and minoring in leadership studies, volunteers weekly at a Newport News nursing home. She also volunteers at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Newport News to provide community meals for those in need. "She'll volunteer basically anywhere that someone needs help," said Ms. Toutsi. "As a social work major, she sees the value and impact volunteering can have on individuals and the business­es/ organizations they volunteer for. She loves to serve others."

The spirit continues Course study, group effort, and

individual initiatives form the cornerstone of a giving society at CNU. It is a tradition that contin­ues after college with an active group of Alumni that benefits the community and the individual in the process. AM

CHIP HornsbJ

••••••••••••••••••••••••

By Karen L. Gill

Chip Hornsby wants to be an inspiration and example for others, and as an executive

who's about to take the reins of a worldwide company, he 's in a good position to do that.

Claude "Chip" A.S. Hornsby III is the chief executive of North American operations for Wolseley plc and former president and chief executive officer of Ferguson Enterprises Inc. In August, he will relinquish the exec­utive position for Wolseley's North American operations to become the group chief executive of Wolseley plc and direct the world­wide operations of the company.

"Chip Hornsby's life reflects the qualities that we endeavor to impart to our students each day­a commitment to excellence in all things, a willingness to engage and lead and a passion for making the world a better place," said Christopher Newport University President Paul Trible in introduc­ing Mr. Hornsby to the newest CNU graduates in December. Mr. Hornsby delivered the Winter Commencement address.

"I want to encourage students to stretch their imagination and explore possibilities for their lives," Mr. Hornsby said. "When they do this, they'll discover what their passion is and can then begin to develop a vision and a plan for their future. You don't necessarily

have to excel in academics, but find your passion - step out of your comfort zone and take risks. I did, and look what happened!"

Mr. Hornsby is a longtime sup­porter of CNU and has provided leadership as a member of the University's Board of Visitors since 2001.

"It means a lot to me to be directly involved with President Trible and to be a part of setting the vision and direction of CNU," he said. "Being on the Board of Visitors for the last four years was rewarding on two levels. First, it gave me an opportunity to collabo­rate with other members of the board and expand my thought processes to determine the emerg­ing needs of the community. And second, on a professional level, it helped shape my thinking about some of the critical work force issues we will face in the near future. "

Mr. Hornsby contributed to the $2.6 million gift that Ferguson Enterprises committed to make the Ferguson Center for the Arts a reality. Ferguson Enterprises, which supplies a vast array of plumbing and builder products, industrial pipe, valves and fittings, heating and cooling equipment, waterworks products, and tool and safety products, also supports CNU through leadership and commit­ment to various programs.

"We support CNU because we believe strongly in education and want to partner with a fine institu­tion that will deliver the kind of graduates who will go on and serve our community at large," Mr. Hornsby said. "We welcome CNU graduates at Ferguson because we know they are so well prepared, and I'm proud to say that many of our associates are CNU Alumni."

Mr. Hornsby is a graduate of Menchville High School in Newport News and Virginia Polytechnic and State University. He joined Ferguson as a manage­ment trainee 27 years ago and has held a number of increasingly responsible positions in the company.

He is a member of the National Association of Wholesalers, Southern Wholesalers Association and American Supply Association. He serves on the Pamplin Advisory Council at Virginia Tech. Mr. Hornsby resides in Mathews County with his wife, Lynn, and three daughters.

Wolseley plc, a $20.8 billion business, is the world's largest specialist trade distributor of plumbing and heating products to professional contractors and a leading supplier of building materials in North America, the United Kingdom and Continental Europe . .4dil

ts support their students and the University through a new group

By Karen L. Gill

I n the mid 1960s, Ken Ogren used to walk by a storefront in downtown Newport News that

had a sign that read "Christopher Newport College." In the years since then, Mr. Ogren and his wife, Deborah, have marveled at Christopher Newport University's phenomenal growth. Now they're playing an active role as parents.

"I have seen it come from very humble beginnings," said Mr. Ogren, a retired senior vice presi­dent for Riverside Health System

and owner of York Point Consulting. "I think CNU has transformed the face of midtown Newport News."

The Ogrens have contributed to CNU's success through the Alumni Society. Mrs. Ogren graduated from CNU in 1986 with a bache­lor's degree in sociology and a minor in gerontology. She earned the Kim Roeder Volunteer Award for 2004-05. This new award, given to the volunteer who works tireless­ly for CNU, was presented to Mrs.

8 CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT UNIVERSITY Alumni Magazine

Ogren for her work soliciting donations for the Alumni Society's Vacation Home Scholarship Auction, a live and silent auction to raise money for scholarships. She owns Family Centered Resources, a home care business in Newport News.

Now with two sons attending CNU - seniors Matthew Brookman, a history major, and Blake Brookman, an art major -the Ogrens, who live in Seaford, have found a new way to support CNU. In 2004, they became found­ing members of the CNU Parents

Council -a group of parents of CNU students that provides advice, assistance and financial support to admissions, student life, career development and university advancement.

"We're very proud of CNU because we've been involved with its growth, and we'd like to see the success continue," Mrs. Ogren said.

The couple attends the Parents Council's meetings during Family Weekend in the fall and in April. They also have volunteered to help with first-year orientation and fund-raisers. In addition, the Ogrens are hosting an event for current members and potential new members this spring. Each Parents Council member is asked to serve on one advisory commit­tee and to make a commitment to The President's Club of $1,000 or more per year.

"This gives us a fund-raising arm," said Patty Martin, an original co-chair of the Parents Council along with her husband, Mike. "CNU doesn't have a long legacy of giving because the Alumni base is very young. Some colleges have students who have great-grandparents who've gone there. The Parents Council gives a venue for those who want to be longtime givers to the University."

The 27 current members of the Parents Council support the University in other ways, as well. They share interests and concerns related to student life and student affairs with the dean of students, and they help connect

students with companies that offer internships.

Members also recommend names and addresses of prospec­tive students and talk to prospec­tive parents during open houses and at off-campus recruiting events.

"Who better to tell another parent to send their kids here?" saidJenn Wenzel Austin, a devel­opment associate with University Advancement who helps facilitate and organize events for the Parents Council. "No one can tell a better story than a parent.

"They're constantly working for CNU, selling it and talking about it," Ms. Austin said. "They're super-involved and provide support for every event."

Parents Council members and their children benefit from their involvement, as well. Members receive invitations to special events for President's Club donors, and they have opportunities to meet with President Paul Trible, deans and other campus officials.

"They're always willing to talk about the college - the good and what we need to work on," said Mr. Martin, owner and dealer I opera­tor of Dudley Martin Chevrolet in Manassas and a member of the CNU Board ofVisitors. "It's immeasurable to know the vision of the school."

The exchange of information and ideas goes both ways. Mr. Martin sees the role of the Parents Council as a voice for all parents and a liaison between parents and the University. "Parents bring ideas

from other parents to the meet­ings," he said. "It opens a lot of doors."

Mrs. Ogren said that her knowl­edge of campus events, staff and the "so many things they do for students" from Parents Council presentations gives her sons extra motivation to do well because they know their parents are informed.

"So many parents are interested in being involved in their students' lives like they were when they were younger in PTA and other activi­ties," said Mrs. Martin. And the Parents Council gives them an opportunity to be involved and to feel like they are part of campus and their children 's lives.

"Children of this generation have witnessed so much tragedy and turmoil that family connec­tions are very important to them and to their parents," said Ms. Austin .

As a result, Ms. Austin said, parents councils have become a growing trend over the last four or five years on college campuses across the country and now have become universities' largest sup­port groups. CNU officials hope to increase the number of Parents Council members and to offer more opportunities for involve­ment, Ms. Austin said. A Parents Council website recently has been developed and is available at www.cnu.edu/ parentscouncil/ .

Any parent who wants to become involved is welcome. For more information, contactJenn Wenzel Austin in the Office of University Advancement at (757) 594-7871. M

Smithfield Foods Inc.

By David Chernicky

When Larry Pope was a student at Ferguson High School in the

1970s, Christopher Newport University was a small liberal arts college across the street, and Smithfield Foods Inc. was a strug­gling pork producer. Mr. Pope returned to the CNU campus several decades later on Aug. 31, 2005, as president and chief oper­ating officer for Smithfield Foods, now the world's largest pork processor and hog producer. In front of 500 people gathered in

10 CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT UNIVERSITY AlumniMagnzine

the Ferguson Center for the Arts, he announced a $5 million gift to the University from the Smithfield­Luter Foundation- the largest single donation in CNU's history.

"It's a privilege for Smithfield Foods to be helping fund the future of this school," said Mr. Pope. "We generally like to support programs that we think can make a difference. We believe this gift to Christopher Newport University will help. We've noticed what President (Paul) Trible has done at CNU, the transformation

and accomplishments, and we want to be a part of that success."

CNU applied $4 million to its endowment and established the Joseph W. Luter, III School of Business, named for Smithfield's chief executive officer and grand­son of the company's founder. CNU also will use the gift to recruit and retain faculty, provide academ­ic enrichment and bring experts in for guest lectures.

The remaining $1 million­matched dollar for dollar by CNU - will provide academic leader­ship scholar-ships for high-ability stu-dents. Under the scholarship program, each stu­dent will receive $10,000 over four years- $2,000 each year-plus an addi­tional $2,000 to study abroad.

News of the Smithfield Leadership Scholarships brought a flurry of inquiries from high school stu­dents, according to Patty Cavender, CNU dean of admissions, who identifies and recruits the best and brightest from high schools.

"We're talking about kids with GPAs as high as 4.3 and SAT scores of 1380," she said. "This is

beyond exciting. For a person in my position to hear the University has been recognized with that kind of generosity is a moment that stands still in time," Dean Cavender said.

As one who grew up in the shad­ows of what was then Christopher Newport College, Mr. Pope, whose son graduated from the University in 2001, said CNU's explosive growth parallels that of his own company over the last six to 10

years. The generous gift will ensure CNU's

continued

growth and academic excellence far into the future.

"It is rare that one finds an opportunity to shape a program that will attract outstanding stu­dents and nurture an appreciation for the art of leadership and the importance of citizenship," said President Trible. "It is even rarer that one finds an opportunity to enrich the academic life and repu­tation of a university that will define it for generations to come. I am convinced that the generous support of Smithfield Foods will achieve both of these purposes." ~

Minority recruitment gets a boost at CNU By Roopa Swaminathan

A meeting with his high school guidance counselor proved life changing for

Curtis Davidson. His advisor encouraged him to drop out of the college preparatory track and directed him toward vocational training- to be an auto mechanic. As an Mrican-American, Mr. Davidson didn't think that the counselor's advice was racially motivated, but it wasn't what he wanted to hear. He was deter­mined to get a college degree and used his excellence in athletics to do just that. That experience instilled in him a passion for higher education and a dogged determination to prevent any counselor from ever telling high

that they cannot

Mr. Davidson graduated from the University of Findlay in Ohio

with a Bachelor of Arts degree in business. He was the director of admissions and assistant football coach at his alma mater before becoming senior associate director of admissions at Christopher Newport University. Now he fulfills an important role in helping minority students find their niche at CNU. He is excited to see the University's aggressive efforts to recruit minorities who strive to be successful and need the support of a strong university to get them started.

"It's a team effort that has led to this," Mr. Davidson said of the rise in minority recruitment in the past several years at CNU. He added that he was "blown away" by President Paul Trible's vision that has led to the University's dramatic growth and increase in minority recruitment.

"It's so heartening to be in a place where you are part of its growth, and you can help build the customs and traditions that con­tribute to the creation of a great institution: an institution that will stand in the community for hun­dreds of years to come," he said.

Recognizing the need to reach out to the minority community, President Trible set up a task force in 2002 that consisted of members of CNU's Board of Visitors, admin­istrators, faculty, staff and current students as well as local community leaders. This diverse group meets throughout the year to discuss

strategies to increase minority enrollment at CNU.

Thaddeus Holloman Sr., Board of Visitors member and a promi­nent leader in the Newport News community, said he felt the urgent need to help minority students overcome perceived barriers before, during and even after the application process. As senior vice president of Old Point National Bank in Newport News, Mr. Holloman has been instrumental in establishing the successful Captains for Excellence program atCNU.

The program's purpose is to increase minority enrollment in colleges and universities. It is not meant necessarily to encourage students to choose to attend CNU, but to encourage first-generation minority students to find an institution of higher learning that best suits them. The two-year mentoring program supports high school juniors and seniors in their endeavors to attend college by helping with financial aid and preparation for the SAT and ACT tests. These students' fees for taking the tests are paid through the program. Students also are taken on tours to various college campuses.

Mr. Holloman said that Captains for Excellence is at a pilot stage with 20 juniors and seniors. He said that he hopes that with more funds, the program's true potential can be realized, and more minority

students can be included. Two students who graduated from the program are now attending CNU, and Mr. Holloman hopes they will form a bond with newer Captains for Excellence recruits, who in turn, would also choose to attend CNU.

Guidance counselors from public schools in Newport News recommend minority students with a high level of academic potential for Captains for Excellence, and the program is supported whole­heartedly by the superintendent of Newport News Public Schools, Dr. Marcus Newsome.

"Programs like the CFE are a tremendous help because it establishes a mindset in minority students that they too can attend college," said Dr. Newsome, whose son is a high school senior and a member of Captains for Excellence. "The CFE helps them prepare for a life beyond high school by taking them on tours to various colleges in the state and introducing them to other minority student role models who are now in college."

Among other minority initiatives in place at CNU are student orga­nizations such as the Multicultural Student Association, designed to deal exclusively with problems fac­ing minority students. CNU also hosts two events each year for minority students to visit the University. They tour the campus, learn about CNU and spend

·dson meets StacY DaVI with students.

valuable time with current CNU students. Many of them stay overnight as guests of current students.

Kamala Hill, student director of Captains for Excellence, participat­ed in one such campus tour in fall 2001 and picked CNU as her col­lege of choice. Kamala is currently a senior majoring in communica­tion studies, the president of the Multicultural Student Association and a member of CNU's President's Leadership Program.

Kamala explains that minority students often are exposed only to historically black colleges and universities- if they are exposed to college life at all. Many parents of minority students did not attend college and know very little about the application process. Kamala said that her family was convinced they didn't have enough money to send her to college, and that most minority students don't realize that if they look hard enough, there is money available to attend college.

Kamala said she feels the need is urgent to match minority students and their requirements with the privileges that non-minorities enjoy. Minority students need the same opportunities to look at their options early, she said. CNU's minority initiative changed that for Kamala. She realized a college education was a possibility.

"I didn't know much about CNU before I was invited to an Honors Visit Day," she said. "That visit also proved to be the deal-sealer. I fell in love with the beautiful campus, the cost, the small class sizes, the community atmosphere and the location. I used to be terribly introverted. But CNU was small enough for me to feel like I could

find a niche here. I filled out many applications, but only turned in CNU's."

Stacy Davidson, assistant director of student life for multicultural affairs, explains why CNU is an ideal college to nurture minority students. The University is set in an intimate urban area; it has all the advantages of a big school even though it has fewer than 5,000 students. That means that faculty members have fewer stu­dents in their classrooms, unlike other state-funded colleges, and students have the full attention of their teachers. Many of the build­ings are new, and facilities are top-notch. CNU is by far one of the most "personalized" colleges out there, Ms. Davidson said. In addition, it is located in Hampton Roads, one of the most ethnically diverse regions in the United States.

But are programs like Captains for Excellence and the Multi­cultural Student Association enough to foster a feeling of secu­rity among minority students on college campuses? Mr. Holloman points out that it is incredibly important to make sure minority students not only come to CNU but also stay to graduate.

"While mentoring programs like Captains for Excellence are a great start, we also need to be proactive," explained Kamala. Stressing the need for a support system for minority students in colleges, she said, "There were so many times I felt out of place just because I couldn't find a brown face any­where near. I didn't have people who could share some of my expe­riences as a minority and for some students, that's enough to leave."

Stacy Davidson agrees with Kamala, which is why Mrs. Davidson is passionately involved in trying to bridge the gap between the different races and promote multicultural diversity at CNU. She animatedly describes an ideal utopian world where she could have open and honest debates

14 CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT UNIVERSITY Alumni Magazine

between students from different races and communities and where issues could be dealt with in a forthright manner.

Mrs. Davidson feels that much headway can be made by introduc­ing aspects of pop culture into students' lives, which in turn could spark intellectually stimulating and thought-provoking debates about diversity issues in the world. She would also love to show movies such as "Crash," which tells stories about people from different races: blacks, whites, Latinos, Iranians, Koreans, the rich and the poor and deals head-on with an American society that is still plagued by racism.

According to Mrs. Davidson, diversity in colleges is of utmost importance because it helps students to associate with others unlike themselves, which is critical to their growth. Mrs. Davidson keenly believes that students need to have meaningful interactions with people of different races, religions and sexual orientations if they want to be successful after college.

There is more work to be done with minority recruiting and ideals to achieve, Mrs. Davidson said. She said that she would love to organize smaller get-togethers for new minority students with many more trained diversity coun­selors. As for Mr. Holloman, if money were not an issue he "would increase scholarships for minorities so that more students wouldn't have to stress about being faced with debt."

If passionate leaders such as President Trible, community members such as Thaddeus Holloman, administrators such as Stacy and Curtis Davidson, programs such as Captains for Excellence and students such as Kamala Hill are any indication of CNU's support for minority students, the future is filled with amazing possibilities for students as well as colleges and universities everywhere. .Mil

DR. MICHAEL MEYER Assistant Professor of Biology, Chemistry and Environmental Science

L ooking for a job in his chosen field of study didn't "bug" Dr. Michael

Meyer for long- he discovered that Christopher Newport University was looking for a science instructor to teach entomology, the scientific study of insects.

"When I looked in the Chronicle of Higher Education for potential positions," said Dr. Meyer, "I found that CNU was looking for someone to teach a number of disciplines in the science realm- one be ing entomology- and that struck my interest because there really weren 't that many entomology positions avail­able.

"When I came out for the interview, everybody was so welcoming, straight­forward and friendly, I just felt like I was already part of the family," said Dr. Meyer, now in this second semester at CNU.

Dr. Meyer came to CNU from California, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of California-Davis. He then continued his studies there to receive a multiple-subject teaching credential and started teaching in the public school system.

"I did that for seven years and dis­covered that I really missed science," said Dr. Meyer. "So I ended up going back to graduate school at Purdue University, where I earned both a master's and doctorate in aquatic entomology."

Dr. Meyer is finding the area rich with research opportunities, and he already has his five-year plan in mind.

"I am very interested in the biodiversity of aquatic insects, both locally and throughout the United States. I'd like to conduct fieldwork to get a feel for what species are found

DR. MARTIN BUONCRISTIANI Professor Emeriti of Physics, Computer Science and Engineering

Catching up with Dr. Martin Buoncristiani is a challenging task

-the Christopher Newport University professor emeriti of physics, computer science and engineering spent our winter in Australia's summer.

"I plan to do consulting work in science and education," said Dr. Buoncristiani from 16 time zones away. "In education, I plan to promote teach­ing of skillful thinking in grades K-12, both in the U.S. and in Australia. My

company, 'Thinking and Learning in Concert' will be giving workshops throughout Australia for the next few months, and

in the U.S. when I return in June." With a doctorate in physics,

Dr. Buoncristiani came to CNU in August 1974.

"One of the reasons I came to the college was its proximity to the NASA Langley Research Center," said Dr. Buoncristiani. "In the late '60s and early '70s, support for scientific research was difficult to obtain because the Vietnam War was taking much of the country's resources. So I wanted to be closer to the source of funding. However, I was able to secure research support from Langley continuously from 1975 to 2002, when I became director of CNU activities at the Applied Research Center."

Dr. Buoncristiani continues his scien­tific interests by examining light and the way it interacts with matter. He stud­ies lasers and the subtle effects of elec-

here, where they are found , and then determine why they are where they are. I'll try to put a bigger picture together to see how it all fits."

Dr. Meyer is joined by his wife and two children and thrilled with life at CNU. "I get to teach entomology, which is one of the things I really wanted to do, and share my interests with students. The department seems to appreciate my efforts and is willing to let me take my research in any direction I choose. What more could I ask for? I'm delighted to be here!"

tromagnetic radiation, but his interests have expanded to include how people learn and how understanding the brain and how it functions can be used to cre­ate better learning environments.

Dr. Buoncristiani reflects positively on his CNU days. "I have seen four pres­idents at CNU. Each of them has added an important ingredient to the develop­ment of the school at just the time it was needed. The successful development of CNU has been due to this fortuitous sequence of leaders as well as through the efforts of a dedicated and industri­ous faculty.

"One of the last things I did before leaving for Australia was to attend a pro­duction of Handel 's Messiah conducted by JoAnn Falletta at the Ferguson Center for the Arts. It was a brilliant pro­duction in a brilliant venue. It makes me proud of the progress CNU has made, and it makes me proud to think that I have had a small part in this progress."

Footbalt, law school and stayiug connected

with CNU

By Nicholas Addison Thomas

Will Holt took on a lot during his college career. He played starting full­

back for the Christopher Newport University Captain's football squad and received a Bachelor of Science degree in business. He did both well, which was not an easy accom­plishment, then began his current pursuit- a law degree at the College of William and Mary's prestigious Marshall-Wythe School of Law.

Quiet and unassuming, you have to know the right questions to get Mr. Holt to admit to the legacy he left behind at the University, and the one he is starting in the field of law. His journey has been blessed by support from family, friends, professors and coaches and driven by his passion to succeed and embrace a future of possibilities.

In many ways Mr. Holt's journey began at CNU.

"I chose CNU for the small and friendly atmosphere. I was accepted at other schools, but I didn't want to go somewhere where I would just be a number," Mr. Holt said. "My experience at CNU has opened many doors for me and allowed me to pursue whatever path I wanted."

CNU's business school provides "a great education from great faculty with many different person­alities and styles," he said. The school also provides opportunities for students to get involved outside the classroom with internships, networking and other clubs and activities that help students transi­tion to the job market.

"CNU has an excellent business school. I chose to major in busi­ness because it would expose me to a broad subject area, and hopefully I could find something I liked," Mr. Holt said. "That happened during my junior year when I took a business law class from Dr. Stephanie Bardwell."

Dr. Bardwell's Business 361 course helped solidify his interest in attending law school. During his senior year, he spent a lot of time

in her office applying to graduate schools. In return, the professor offered advice, wrote letters of recommendation, and helped him with scholarship applications.

"The moment I expressed an interest in law school, she became my biggest advocate," Mr. Holt said. "She has been very support­ive. I felt fully prepared and confident that I could have gotten a good job right out ofCNU."

As the department chair of Management and Economics at CNU, as well as the director of the Small Business Institute, Dr. Bardwell has enjoyed mentor­ing students as passionate and determined as Mr. Holt.

"It is a distinct pleasure to give encouragement and advice to a serious scholar who demonstrates an interest in the law," Dr. Bardwell said. "Will Holt epitomizes the serious, hard-working, capable student who is a pleasure to assist in the classroom and in future educational endeavors."

Mr. Holt's success in class spilled onto the football field. When he wasn't hitting the books, he was tackling opponents as a fullback for the Captains. For Mr. Holt, who routinely was nominated to the USA South Athletic Conference All-Academic Team, playing football "created a special bond for me with the team and the school," he said.

Coach Matt Kelchner agrees. "Will Holt is the real deal when

we discuss the term student-athlete. He was always prepared in acade­mics and athletics and gave everything for his team and CNU," Coach Kelchner said. "In my 25 years as a college football coach, he is one of the most trusted, respected and liked young men I have ever come across. CNU football is truly blessed to have him as one of our own."

Mr. Holt said he found it was often difficult to juggle both acade­mics and football. He believes it made him a better student and prepared him for the educational

struggles ahead. "Though many times I felt

stressed, and I had a lot on my plate, I think the experience has helped me deal with the stressful times and heavy workload in law school," he said.

A devoted member of CNU's business honor society, Beta Gamma Sigma, Mr. Holt continues to stay in touch with both Dr. Bardwell and the University. Returning as a graduate, he said that being back at CNU makes him feel like he has accomplished a lot. Dr. Bardwell agrees.

"When I do hear from my stu­dents, like Will, it is often via e-mail, or a note or card in the mail and sometimes at an Alumni event held at CNU," said Dr. Bardwell.

"The Alums who are able

to visit, share and give

back to our current

students by attending

functions, supporting

programs and serving

as role models truly rep­

resent the best of CNU's

educational philosophy." -Dr. Stephanie Bardwell

Success has followed Mr. Holt to William and Mary, where he is leaning toward estate planning and real estate law. In just his first semester, he was awarded Honors in Legal Skills for his good grades. Although he finds the school of roughly 620 students to be nourish­ing his appetite for law, he said the initial seed of interest was planted during his undergraduate years.

"I have been very fortunate in my life, and I wouldn't have any excuse not to work hard and do well. Much of the credit should go to my parents, who have been extremely supportive of me. They have worked hard and put many of their interests aside to help make my dreams possible." /AI

Alumni Jlfagaztilf' CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT UNIVERSITY 19

Attorney of Essex County from 1974

to 1976, and was elected to the

Representatives in 1977 and to the U.S. Senate in 1983.

Mter 12 years in Congress, six of them in the U.S. Senate, President Trible spent the fall of 1989 as a Teaching Fellow at the Institute of Politics, John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Having always loved college activi­ties, he later agreed to serve on CNU's Board ofVisitors.

"We both saw CNU as a potential jewel," says Rosemary Trible, a valuable member of the Trible team who joins in her husband's enthusiasm for the University's growth. "When the board asked Paul to be president, we felt and hoped we could make a difference, polish that jewel and make it a great University," she said.

"Serving on the Board ofVisitors gave me the opportunity to get to know the University," President Trible said. "When offered the opportunity to become president, I accepted, and our time here has been the happiest season of our lives."

An exciting challenge for the new president was to bring the University into the new millenni­um, guiding it through the inevitable changes in academic culture and climate, integrate it as an important element in the life ofVirginia and, beyond that, a

dramatically changing world. Under his visionary leadership,

CNU has become a university of choice for high-ability students from throughout Virginia and beyond. Applications have explod­ed by more than 600 percent, and the average SAT of entering freshmen has increased by more than 200 points. Improvements in CNU's academic programs have furthered the University's commit­ment to providing a high-quality liberal arts education and taken CNU into the ranks of the finest liberal arts universities in the nation.

President Trible explains that his goal has been for the University to get better and better, not bigger.

"That means great teaching and small classes," he said. "We want our faculty to be on the cutting edge of their academic disciplines and to really engage our students. For example, our Freshman English classes have just 19 stu­dents, and they are taught by a Ph.D. We offer a private school experience at a public university -great teaching, small classes, lots of personal attention and a marvelous sense of community." He added, "And we do that for a fraction of the cost of a great private school."

The University's dramatic academic change is matched by a transformation of more than half a billion dollars in capital construc­tion that will soon be complete with a new student union and expanded library, buildings that President Trible calls the heart of the campus, with activities in progress day and night.

CNU librarian Mary Sellen

recalls her initial interview with President Trible long before the new library construction was visible from Warwick Boulevard. "He talked about his vision for the campus, told me the library would be the most visible, physical struc­ture," she said. "He told me his vision was for people on campus to see the library first, see the Ferguson Center and see the Freeman Center. He said the library represented the mind, Ferguson was the spirit, Freeman was the body."

The crowing jewel of the physical transformation so far has been the Ferguson Center for the Arts, which is impressing not only the University community, but the entire region and state, as well, in its first full season.

"Ten years ago, we had a dream of seeing the community embrac­ing the Center," said Mrs. Trible. "When it opened with singer Michael Crawford, his first song was 'To Dream the Impossible Dream.' I got tears in my eyes because seeing the community's reaction to the Center was seeing that dream come true."

With tremen­dous commit­ment as a skilled leader, President Trible,joined by Mrs. Trible, has changed the very per­sonality of the school in a way several

observers say reflects the Tribles' own

strong beliefs on such topics as lead­

ership, interdependence, honor and civic engagement. Above all, President Trible's vision for the University has focused on turning CNU students into future leaders, and he has emphasized the importance of supporting that development throughout every aspect of the CNU experience.

"We believe we are shaping both hearts and minds," President Trible said. "We want students committed to excellence in their lives, with a passion for engage­ment and a sense of responsibility for the world. We try to help students identifY their gifts for leadership. Here all of us put the students first. Our job is to move heaven and earth to help them succeed. It's the most important thing we can say or do, and most schools don't think that way."

Provost and Distinguished Professor Dr. Richard Summerville has served the University since 1980, through three presidents. "In my opinion, the most signifi­cant impact that Paul Trible's presidency has had upon CNU is

he said.

that he has engen­dered in the University commu­nity the freedom and capacity to actually achieve goals to which we would have not even dared to aspire a brief decade ago,"

"He has also crystallized the essential mission of the University, and that mission is now universally embraced by the entire University community.

"And he has made the physical campus a place of physical beauty appropriate for serious academic study with capital projects that communicate to those who behold them that what is here is perma­nent, that the work which is done here is important and that great things are expected of those who become part of this environment," Dr. Summerville said.

As a Newport News community leader and former member of the CNU Board of Visitors, Dorothy Rouse Bottom has seen President Trible's leadership in action, as well. "Paul has changed the scope, speed, and style of the university's mission. Beyond that, he has brought into being on campus a cultural center for the entire Peninsula that dazzles and delights us all. Amazing! I cannot think of anyone who could have accomplished this other than Paul Trible.

"Paul has a steely resolve, not knowing the word 'no.' His calm, friendly and completely confident

attitude that an impossible goal can be reached is contagious. He is a convincing man."

Reflecting on the University now, President Trible sees more than the academic and physical changes. "There's magic at CNU, and it's infectious. On campus people feel energy, enthusiasm, a forward motion and an expecta­tion of success. I've always felt that great dreams have power. We're in the business of dramatically trans­forming our school to create a new CNU. There really is a differ­ence here and it's reflected in the faces of students."

And he's looking toward the University's future. "We've built the campus and the students are coming. We now want to expand the faculty and focus on those things that make good schools truly excellent," he said.

"Our challenge is to provide academic excellence to the truly outstanding students who are banging on our doors. And we have to enhance our reputation so diplomas have more value for our graduates.

"My colleagues and I have a rare opportunity to shape and define the University," he said. "That task largely will be complet­ed over the next decade, and the CNU students attending 100 years from now will be at a school our students, faculty and staff and Alumni and friends are creating today."

He added, "That's a powerful reason to get up in the morning and sprint through the day." And for him, that is reason enough to be president. .Mil

CNU Lady Captains celebrate accomplishments with USA South Conference By Sarah Schmidt

T he 2005-06 school year marks the 25th anniversary of

women's sports champi­onships in the USA South Conference, which was formerly the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. This milestone coincides with the introduc­tion of women's sports championships in the NCAA during the 1981-82 academic year. To commem­orate this landmark event, the USA South Conference named its most outstanding female athletes to "25th Anniversary Teams." These teams were honored at the men's and women's confer­ence basketball tournament hosted by CNU in February. Five women's sports were represented: basketball, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball.

The opportunity for women to compete, and this celebration, were made possible only after a national struggle for equali­ty. That effort culminated in the passage of Title IX, the watershed amendment of 1972 that called for gender equity in education and athletics. Before Title IX, just 30,000 women partici­pated in intercollegiate sports. Last year, more than

150,000 female athletes competed in 20 NCAA sports. At CNU, 172 women competed in nine

women's varsity sports

Karen Barefoot '94

and one coed varsity sport. And the women of CNU

don't just compete- they win. The Lady Captains rank third in the nation among Division III schools in all-time NCAA champi­onships. The track team alone has claimed 12 national championships. Last year, the ladies brought home five conference championships. This fall, the women's soccer, volley­ball, and cross country teams came away with the conference crown and com· peted at the national level.

With such a rich tradi­tion, it is no wonder that 19 of the 54 elite athletes named to the 25th Anniversary Teams made their mark as Lady Captains. Among those honored were two current coaches at CNU,Jenny Nuttycombe '86, and Lindsay Sheppard '02.

Mrs. Nuttycombe was voted onto the 25th anniversary team for ten­nis. She played both tennis and basketball for the Lady Captains during the first years of champi­onship competitions at CNU. She is currently the head women's ten­nis coach. Ms. Sheppard took over the reins as head volleyball coach just a year after leading the team to its first conference champi­onship as a student-athlete.

"It's a dream job," she said. Ms. Sheppard has made the most of the opportunity, earning Coach of the Year honors in two of her four seasons. She is the only person in NCAA history known to have earned conference Player of the Year one year and then Coach of the Year during the following season. She was featured in Sports Illustrated magazine because of this remarkable accomplishment.

many, their athletic careers contin­ue to shape their lives.

Oksana Boukhtina '03 a Russian­born alumna who was named to the volleyball squad, hopes to become a pilot. She heads to Marine Corps Officer Candidate training this summer. Her roots in athletics stick with her today.

"The thing I take away from it all is teamwork. You would go through hard times, and the people who pulled you out were your teammates. In the Marine Corps, it's all about teamwork," she said.

The pursuit for gender equity

Karen Barefoot '94 is another outstanding Alumna in the coach­ing business. Ms. Barefoot finished her basketball career with a stag­gering 2,073 career points and 1,002 career assists. She is now an assistant coach at Old Dominion University, a perennial powerhouse in Division I women's basketball.

in sports continues to be a team effort. "We need to educate people on our history, so they can see how far we've come and how much more we can become with the right opportunities," said Ms. Barefoot. The 25th Anniversary celebration is doing just that.

Vanessa Gray '04, named to the softball anniversary team, offered her perspective. "So many great athletes paved the way, and I want to thank those women for what they did to allow people like me to have this chance." As a girls' softball coach, Ms. Gray is passing on her experience to the next generation of female athletes. And, in the end, that just may be the greatest way to honor the pioneers of women's sports. ll.oil

The influence of these extraordi­nary women stretches far beyond the sports world. They are teach­ers, nurses, software programmers, military personnel and more. For

VOLUNTEER I-I pro 1 e •••••••••••••••

N Scott Millar (Class of '85) By Nicholas Addison Thomas

When N. Scott Millar isn't working as the manager of human resources for

Canon Virginia Inc. - a position he's held since 1992- he's making a difference at Christopher Newport University by volunteer­ing. Mr. Millar graduated cum laude from CNU with a bachelor's degree in governmental adminis­tration and a concentration in public management. More than two decades later, Mr. Millar is donating his time to the University that helped jump-start his career.

"Having volunteered with other local area service programs, I can think of no better way to impact

the future of our community than by interacting and work­ing with CNU's outstanding and highly motivated students," Mr. Millar said.

He helps Alumni volunteers, the president of the senior class and CNU's career and counseling services. He coordinates a series of workshops held on campus throughout the year that is designed to help students transi­tion from CNU to the business world and/ or graduate school.

"It's an exciting time to be involved. It is critical that CNU better leverage its growing number of Alumni," said Mr. Millar. "Volunteering is just one

way to personally assist the University in achieving this goal."

Not only was he eager to help the community, but he also was able to re-establish a connection with CNU and lay the foundation for future assignments.

"Volunteering not only provides a way to give back but to also get involved and have a positive impact on the campus and in the community," said Mr. Millar. "The exchange and inter­action between Alumni and students provide an outstanding learning environment for both parties to expand their horizons." 11.4

DONOR I_I pro 1 e •••••••••••

Michael Carter and julia Wainwright By Karen L. Gill

I t's hard to imagine a couple who's more involved with Christopher Newport University

than Michael Carter and his wife, Julia Wainwright.

Mr. Carter graduated from CNU in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in accounting, and Mrs. Wainwright received her CNU bachelor's degree in English in 1998. Their daughter, Bethany, will graduate from the University in the spring with a degree in psychology, and Bethany's finance, David Zoll, earned a master's degree in applied psychology from CNU in December.

Mr. Carter and Mrs. Wainwright live within walking distance of campus. "We're on campus a lot," Mr. Carter said. "We see it every day, every brick and every truck. We're very excited about the Ferguson Center. It's a phenome­nal addition to the community."

They get season tickets for most sports and are members of the

Captains Crew, a fundraising orga­nization for athletics. "Anything they invite us to, we go," said Mrs. Wainwright, senior informa­tion developer for a Newport News software company. And they expect to be frequent patrons of the restaurants and other retailers opening in CNU Village.

"They are two of CNU's most consistent supporters," said CJ. Woollum, director of athletics and head coach of men's basketball at CNU. "They have given of their time and money to help the University in so many different ways, and we are very grateful to them."

The couple's support for CNU stems from their belief in the importance of higher education. "I see as an employer on a daily basis what effect the University has on the community," said Mr. Carter, a CPA and partner with Witt Mares in Newport News. "It's beyond the sports and the arts; it's

36 CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT UNIVERSITY Alumni Magazine

the education - CNU is building a legacy in the business world."

The accounting firm of Witt Mares is one of the largest employ­ers of CNU graduates, Mr. Carter said, with about 30 employed in the Newport News office now.

"We see real people coming out of CNU," he said. "They have the ideals of students, but they are the ones ready to work and to make an impact from day one."

Because they want CNU to continue its positive effect on the community, Mr. Carter and Mrs. Wainwright support the University through donations and volunteer work. Mr. Carter was a member of the Alumni Board, and in the mid-1990s, his family established the Harold Carter Memorial Scholarship in honor of his father.

And Mr. Carter said he ends all conversations with "Go, Captains!"M

VOLUNTEER I-I pro 1 e •••••••••••••••

Mike Koontz (Class of '01) By Nicholas Addison Thomas

For Mike Koontz, CNU will always play an important role in his development as

a businessman. As a student, he held a myriad of roles, including vice president of the Student Government Association, home­coming king and a member of Pi Kappa Phi, a business fraternity.

Mr. Koontz now works for Ferguson Enterprises Inc. as a benefits consultant. When he's not at work, he devotes more than 10 hours a week to CNU as vice president of the Alumni Society. His volunteer work has been beneficial on both a personal and professional level.

"I help with the 50/50 raffles

• • ••

and other ways to raise money for scholarships," he said. "I like help­ing the school because it gave me so many opportunities. I went from working in Harbor Lights to being the class president," he said, referring to the dining hall now called Hiden-Hussey Commons.

As president of the Class of 2001, Mr. Koontz had a lot on his plate. With hard work and determination, he was able to learn about commitment and community involvement through his leadership role. Along with his colleagues, he worked hard to raise money for the University and the football stadium. Now, through his volunteer work, he is still able

•• •

to make a lasting impression on the University.

"CNU took a kid who dido 't know what he wanted to do and gave him so many opportunities," he said. "I want to give that experience to other people."

A former member of the CNU track and field team, he hopes to reach students and Alumni through his role in the Alumni Society. He recommends volun­teering because it helps the University and the individual.

"It's always good to give back -you will always get more out of it than you ever imagined," he said. Alj

A dining facility on campus is renamed for the Hiden and Hussey families By Karen L. Gill

M artha Woodroof Hiden had to learn how to wield a 5-foot pair of scissors.

In 1928, the teenaged Miss Virginia used the gigantic scissors to cut the banner at the opening of the James River Bridge, and 30 years later, onJuly 1, 1958, she put them to use again symbolically merging Warwick and Newport News.

Her selection for such events is only one illustration of the promi­nence of Mrs. Hiden and her family in the history of Newport News. In the book, "Newport News: A Centennial History," she is described as someone who

carried onward the story of Newport ews. The north reading room of the Main Street Newport News library is named after Mrs. Hiden to honor her 26 years of service to the Library Board, according to the book. The neigh­borhood of Hidenwood that surrounds Christopher Newport University is named for her and her husband, Philip Wallace Hiden, who was Newport News' mayor from 1920 to 1924 and its first mayor under the city council and city manager system.

And most recently, their names were honored again, along with those of a related Newport News family, when the dining hall at Santoro Residence Hall on the CNU campus was renamed Riden­Hussey Commons at an official dedication ceremony on Oct. l. The dining hall was previously called Harbor Lights.

"I know my uncle and aunt, if they were here, would be so

44 CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT UNIVERSITY Alumni Magazine

pleased with what has been done there," said Claudia Thomas, niece of the late Wendell and Woodroof (Hiden) Hussey. "I am so pleased with the college, and the Ferguson Center is off to a great start."

The name change honors the gift the families made to the University as part of a real estate transaction in April 2004 through Hiden-Hussey Associates, a general partnership formed by the fami­lies. "The naming of the Riden­Hussey Commons - one of our residential dining facilities­honors the generous gift of the Hiden-Hussey Associates," said Judy Ford, vice president for uni­versity advancement. "Their invest­ment in the University reflects leadership and dedication, while helping to shape and define CNU for the future. The Hiden and Hussey families have supported the Peninsula with their generosity for generations." ~

00-Year celebration

Special events are planned to mark Jamestown 2007 By David Chernicky

"T he overriding theme on campus is discovery and exploration," said Dr. Phil

Hamilton, associate professor of history at Christopher Newport University. And never was it a better time to be a CNU history professor, as the University joins all of Virginia in planning a year­long celebration of the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America.

American icon Thomas Jefferson- that is, Clay Jenkinson, a humanities scholar who portrays the historic figure on the Thomas Jefferson Hour on National Public Radio - will kick off a long slate of special on-campus events planned by CNU's Jamestown 2007 Committee and scheduled to begin nextJanuary.

Included in the line-up are panel discussions by Pulitzer Prize-winning historians James McPherson and David Hackett Fischer, a talk by Nobel Prize-win­ning author Toni Morrison on race

relations in the New World, and a performance by an American Indian dance group, said Dr. Hamilton, who chairs the commit­tee. The Jamestown Series of History, Theater and Culture will feature an original play by CNU's own Steven Breese, director of TheaterCNU.

His play revolves around a father and son in contemporary America who learn about the nation's birth through flashbacks to the 16th and 17th centuries.

"One time period informs the other. The characters talk to each other across the centuries," said Professor Breese, who envisions a cast of 25 to 28 students. He is putting the final touches on the play, which he will name upon completion.

Through extensive research on the Jamestown Settlement and colonial period for the play -research that included a trip to England - Professor Breese discovered that he had become an expert on Christopher Newport,

Steven Breese, Director of TheaterCNU

an original investor in the Virginia Company. "He was one of the greatest privateers. He sailed with Sir Francis Drake and helped defeat the Spanish Armada," Professor Breese said of the University's namesake.

The CNU Jamestown 2007 Committee hopes events such as these will build upon a Jamestown theme incorporated in the curriculum for students as well as draw American history enthusi­asts from across Virginia to the campus.

"Our goal is to make this series available to our students and show­case the Ferguson Center for the Arts," said Dr. Hamilton, who looks forward to a culturally rich year of celebrations. Glad to be in the middle of it all, he reflects back to his first year on the CNU faculty when he agreed to chair the committee. That was in 2002.

"At the time, it seemed like 2007 was so far away. Once we hit 2006, it's been like a speeding train." IJ..,j

VOLUNTEER le Kelly Peck (Class of '85)

••••••••••••• By Nicholas Addison Thomas

K elly Peck is no stranger to numbers. While attending CNU, she studied business

with a major in finance, a concen­tration that continues to provide support in her current vocation. Having been in the financial services and banking business for more than 15 years, she is currently a vice president with TowneBank in a commercial lending capacity.

Ms. Peck enjoys volunteering for CNU, an interest she said was initially sparked by a close friend.

"I was motivated to get involved with CNU through the efforts of Darry Patterson," she said. "It was his determination to have the 5K race on campus that

brought me on board and ulti­mately ended up as the catalyst for all my volunteer efforts at CNU through the Alumni Society."

Ms. Peck donates her time because she believes it is an important, worthwhile contribu­tion to the community. Among all of her volunteer work, her partici­pation in the Alumni Society proves to be the most rewarding, she said. She has volunteered for 50/50 raffles to raise money for scholarships, career day, vacation and art auctions and also annual 5K races.

"Knowing that the work and time being committed will directly impact another's future, now and

in the years ahead, is the most important driving force for me," she said. "I feel it is important to give back - not for the oppor­tunity it provides us, but for the chance it provides others."

Her selfless volunteerism has laid the groundwork for a continued relationship with the school. Ms. Peck recommends that others donate time to help the University.

"I am so proud of all the work I have been involved with at CNU," she said. "I believe that everybody who graduates should give back­volunteering time is just as impor­tant to the growth and strength of the University as writing a check." ~

Building an active, exciting and involved Christopher Newport University Alumni Society is the priority of the Board of Directors. The national average for alumni participation in university support

and events is 28 percent- a percentage CNU aims to exceed. The Board is developing plans for greater outreach to Alumni to bring them back to campus and to be a part of the exciting initiatives that are making CNU one of the best liberal arts universities in the country. A new Board of Directors will be elected in May and they will consider important issues such as m embership dues, an Alumni house, regional chapters and increased financial support for scholarships. The Alumni Society must set goals that will help our University get better, gain state and national recognition and be a magnet for the best and brightest students.
