Campbellsville University graduate Marchetta Garrison and her husband, Sammy, could not help but question God’s plan when their 7-day-old daughter was tragically diagnosed with cerebral palsy. “She basically had a stroke,” Marchetta Garrison said. “When our daughter, Sabrina, was in the hospital, we asked God, ‘Why?’” Once Sabrina turned 3, her parents wanted her to receive therapy. Sammy Garrison read about a horse therapy center in Shelbyville, so they began traveling there every Saturday. Two years went by as their daughter continued therapy. “One day we were riding back from Shelbyville when I asked Sammy, ‘Do you think we could do this in Campbellsville?’” Marchetta Garrison said. “We had no barn, no land,

no horses. We talked and prayed about it, and felt like that was what God was leading us to do.” Sammy and Marchetta Garrison decided on the name REATH Center, an acronym for “Riding Enhanced Around Therapeutic Horses.” The center is associated with PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International), and Marchetta Garrison is certified through the organization. “Once we started to get active in therapeutic riding, we realized why everything had happened,” Marchetta Garrison said. “We never would have done this if not for Sabrina.” The center’s name also has sentimental value for the family; Sabrina’s middle name is Reath, named after Sammy Garrison’s great aunt, who had special needs.

Marchetta Garrison received her master’s of education degree from Campbellsville University in 1997 and uses her skills to write lesson plans and goals for each student. “It’s a very rewarding experience to be a part of and to see how they reach their goals,” said Marchetta Garrison. “The lesson plans strengthen weaknesses of students. For example, if a student is weaker on their left side, the lessons strengthen that area.” “We could tell you story after story about what’s happened out here,” Sammy Garrison said. One student who is visually impaired began doing horse therapy at the REATH Center. The couple believes horse therapy helped him gain the confidence to try out for football and play at his school. “We are doing what God wants us to do. We are helping people,”

said Sammy Garrison. “We have been blessed beyond our wildest dreams.” The REATH Center runs solely on donations. “The money is given to us in good faith and for us to use it wisely,” Sammy Garrison said. “We do that.” Sammy Garrison and his father built the barn with donated supplies. “When we drove the last nail into the barn, it was paid for.” When speaking of Sabrina’s illness, Sammy Garrison said, “We were asking before, ‘why us?’ but now we ask that same question but in a whole different tone of voice. ‘God, why did you pick us? We didn’t know anything about horses!’” All donations are tax deductible, and a list of needed supplies can be found on www.thereathcenter.com.

Campbellsville University Board of Trustees Chair wants to help students attend CUBy Joan C. McKinney, editor

Dr. Joseph Owens of Lexington, the new chair of Campbellsville University’s Board of Trustees, said he wants to work to ensure that all students are afforded an education, despite their financial standing, and that the university remains true to its mission and vision. Owens, who is senior pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church in Lexington, Ky., said his vision as the board chair is to “assist our president in ensuring that CU has the financial, facility and people resources needed to actualize his vision.” He said it is also “imperative that we work to ensure that all students are afforded an education despite their financial standing. This is especially

important to me as I reflect on my own past limited funding and the financial support afforded to me by CU.” In 1972, Owens was granted admis-sion to then Campbellsville College, and Campbellsville provided him with grants, loans and a work-study job. “The college quickly became my extended family as well as provided me needed spiritual guidance,” he said. He graduated from Campbellsville College in 1977, obtaining a bachelor of arts degree. “I am grateful to God for the academic, spiritual, emotional and social foundation received at CU, which enables me to be a contributing member of God’s family,” he said.

After graduating from CU, Owens attended The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., and received a master of divinity and master of religious education. He received his doctor of ministry from United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. Owens is married to Elizabeth White Owens, of Jacksonville, Fla., whom he met in 1973 at Campbellsville University. Mrs. Owens is a child guidance specialist with the Fayette County Schools. He and his wife have two children, Charisa Jené and John Mark.

On the day he turned 86, Dr. E. Bruce Heilman completed a 9,000-mile Harley-Davidson motorcycle trip throughout the country that took him through 34 states in 25 days. The motivation for the trip? He told Bill Lohmann of the Richmond Times-Dispatch— “I’ve got a motorcycle, and the world’s out there, so I’ll just ride.” Heilman has served as a speaker and consultant, and has taken groups

to 145 countries. He spoke during his trip on behalf of The Greatest

Generations Foundation, and he met World

War II veterans.

He’s come a long way from being a youngster who only crossed the Ohio River one time in 17 years—despite living within eight miles of the river. “Until I left home on a train out of Louisville for a four-day ride to San Diego, California, and the Marine Corps at age 17, I never realized the country was so large,” he said. As he drove his Harley-Davidson across the country, Heilman said, “Except for minding a few regulations, there is no restraint to enjoying what is offered, and for the most part being unnoticed and untethered for days at a time, while absorbing all that is offered along the way.” Heilman said because he was about to experience his 86th birthday, “I was a

package of history, carrying with me the Great Depression, World War II, principles and practices that were nourished in a rural setting of Kentucky, and differing in many ways from most other travelers.” He said none of this mattered as he made contact with others through his encounters. “People all along the way were interesting and considerate,” he said. “Some paid for my meals, invited me to stay overnight, engaged me in conversa-tion, expressed regret that they had quit riding their motorcycles too soon, wished they had the courage to do what I was doing and expressed great respect for my wife who, while she wouldn’t ride with me, didn’t make me feel guilty for the enjoyment of riding on my own.” Heilman met his wife, Betty Dobbins, at CU, and he graduated in 1949, while she graduated a year earlier. He said Campbellsville Junior College impacted his life by “allowing me to be

educated as a young man, which provided the foundation for my further education and influenced not only my education development but also introduced me to my wife, who with her influence, has impacted my life broadly for 64 years.” His favorite memories from his school days at Campbellsville Junior College include his association with other students, his interaction with his professors, his coming to know his wife as a fellow student and then having her become his wife, helpmate and a partner throughout his life. After his graduation, Heilman developed his professional commitment to higher education in serving the various institutions with which he has been associated in four states and beyond as he served on boards, along with becoming a spokesperson with veterans throughout the country and world. “Without Campbellsville University giving me an opportunity, I would not have been able to build upon that

through my senior college years and beyond to a master’s degree, a Ph.D. and a continuing educa-tion throughout my lifetime,” Heilman said. “That two-year college education was the most influential and effective for me in my whole educational career.” And his motorcycle riding, which is not without risks, may be outlandish to some, but to him it is a great source of satisfaction. “What is risk to some is challenge to others. What is an unfulfilled ambition for one is a fulfilling satisfaction to another,” he said. “For me, the consideration was so full of anticipation that not to have met the challenge would have been an ambition unfulfilled with regret.” Heilman said, “Many who hear my story think of it as unprecedented. To put it mildly, it was a ‘piece of cake.’” But, he said, with a smile, “Betty has ‘drawn a line in the sand’ when it comes to riding on the backseat of my motorcycle.”

and the world’s out there,

so I’ll just ride.”



Campbellsville University offers online bachelor of science in nursingBy Lucas Pennington, student news writer

Campbellsville University recently began a new program in the School of Nursing, the online RN-to-BSN. The program, which began in May 2012, has 19 students enrolled this year. The RN-to-BSN program is for registered nurses wishing to pursue a higher level of education. The mission of the RN-to-BSN program at CU is to offer a higher level of nursing education through an innovative and highly accessible curriculum. Tailored to the working adult, the program will provide an avenue for the adult learner to further his or her education in a Christian environment. The program serves the community and the region through promoting lifelong learning, and contributing to the profession of nursing and the health of society. Beverly Rowland, director of BSN and assistant professor of nursing,

said, “The RN-to-BSN program is off to a great start! We now have 19 students who are making life-changing strides for their future careers. Our students have been improving their assessment skills so that they can be more proactive in caring for the high-acuity needs of today’s complex patients. With the healthcare business management courses, they are learning about their role in healthcare management systems. Students are preparing to care for diverse aggregate communities, promoting health. And in the gerontology classes, they are expanding their knowledge of what our elderly patients experience in the healthcare system. We are very proud of these students and look forward to serving the upcoming cohort.” Campbellsville University is currently developing partnerships with KCTCS

(Kentucky Community and Technical College System) in order to help graduates of associate degree programs in the state obtain their BSN while working in the field as registered nurses. The associate degree program for nursing has been thriving for the past couple of years. According to Dr. Bob Wade, dean of the School of Nursing, each year the number of students enrolled has increased greatly, going from 70 students in 2010 to 114 students in 2012. With the growth, the program has still scored above the national average on the NCLEX-RN exam every year since 2009. The program was so successful that in 2009 and 2010, 100 percent of the people enrolled in the program passed the test. The next two years CU had a 93 percent pass rate each year, still above the national average. The RN-to-BSN program at Camp-bellsville University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097 or call (404) 679-4500 with questions about the University’s accreditation. The RN-to-BSN program at CU is also undergoing national accreditation through the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission. The associate degree program has already gained candidacy status, and the BSN program applied for candidacy status in September.

CU opens Art Shop to publicBy Joan C. McKinney, editor

The Campbellsville University Art Shop officially opened to the public Tuesday, Sept. 4. The art shop, located in a small log cabin at 503 N. Columbia Ave., Campbellsville, features artwork created by CU faculty, staff, students and alumni. The shop is sponsored by the Campbellsville University Patrons of the Visual Arts of which Campbellsville artist Carolyn Ogden is president. The shop is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, with volunteers, whose work is on display and those who are members of the Patrons of the Visual Arts, in charge of the shop. The shop will be open extended hours for special events such as Homecoming and the annual Campbellsville Christmas Home Tour, Sunday, Dec. 2 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The art shop will be closed on Mondays to set up new displays and will be closed on university holidays. Portions of the sales of the art pieces go to Campbellsville University as well as the artists.

Some of the artwork on display and for sale at the first showing included paintings, prints, watercolors, drawings, ceramics, greeting cards, purses, rustic canes, felted items, jewelry, pottery, photography and woodworking. The work is juried before it is displayed.Among the artists whose work was for sale during the opening were Carolyn Ogden, Cora Renfro, Billie Sue Kibbons, Charlotte Humphress, Davie Reneau, Susie Trejo Williams, Linda J. Cundiff, Lana Carol Houk, Henrietta R. Scott, Jaime Renfro, Renee Renfro, Hugh Leachman, Dr. Robert L. Doty, and Stan and Joan McKinney. Ogden said, “I think the art shop will benefit the university and community by helping to educate the public more about art in general and introduce them to the artists.” “There are many talented artists here that the public is not even aware of.” She said, in the future, the university will be able to add to the proposed Art Village being developed at CU.

You can support the visual arts by naming a log, bench, gallery or the cabin in honor of or in memory of a family member or special friend. Costs range from a chimney stone for $25, logs from $50 to $500, a bench for $1,000, small art gallery for $2,500, main art gallery for $5,000 and the art shop for $10,000. For more information about the Campbellsville University Art Shop, contact Ogden at [email protected] or (270) 465-5380.

Jon Hansford helps a boy in need in the village of Likamba.

Hansfords make impression on Tanzanian village, CU studentsBy Tanner Royalty, student news writer

Before coming to Campbellsville University, Jon and Dr. Candace Hansford lived in the African village of Likamba in Tanzania, East Africa. While living in this village, they ministered to widows and orphans, helped ministries with food relief, worked on HIV/AIDS prevention and education, as well as evangelism, sponsored a nursery school and created a Christian primary school. Now you can find Jon Hansford, a 1997 CU graduate, every day on campus at Campbellsville University, where he serves as director of First Year Experience, and Dr. Candace Hansford as associate professor of social work at The Carver School of Social Work at CU. “We feel that we are a vessel that the Holy Spirit can work through, especially in our village in Tanzania and to the students at Campbellsville University,” the couple said. They added, “We know that we are a bridge to help others in the states experience the wonderful people of Likamba and have an opportunity to minister, serve and share resources that God has blessed them with for others who have little or no resources.”

The Hansfords acknowledge and welcome the fact that they have an opportunity to help mentor and create servant leaders at Campbellsville University every day. Dr. Candace Hansford said, “I not only teach and impart information, but I also choose to encourage students to participate or live life with me and my family. I want my family to be an example to them—whenever they get married, have children, have careers, etc., they have seen how it can be done—and hopefully done through the goodness and graciousness of Christ. There are not many professors who continually open their home’s door for students just to hang out, eat dinner, play with their children, have prayer times and just do ordinary life stuff; but we want to lead a lifestyle of discipleship—to disciple students at CU.” Along with serving at Campbellsville University, the Hansfords continually work with U.S. churches, training them for service trips back to the village of Likamba, as well as going back periodically themselves. Dr. Candace Hansford went back to the village in September and October to lead a women’s conference

and minister to the widows and orphans in the village. She also attended the graduation service of their school’s first graduating class. “We count it an honor to be able to be a part of Likamba and to be allowed to serve with them in ministry. They are a part of our family and will be part of our lives forever,” Dr. Candace Hansford said. The Hansfords understand that “finding your calling” doesn’t just necessarily occur in the classroom, but outside interacting with others and having true community. Dr. Candace Hansford said, “I have seen numerous students weep on our couch to begin to accept the calling that God had for them. It is such an honor to see these students, many now graduated, living for God around here and in other countries. I feel that I am more than just a professor or teacher.” When asked what advice Jon Hansford would give to someone wanting to make a difference in the world, he said, “Seek first the Kingdom of God, forgive freely as it has been freely given and choose joy in the process, since the process is where our real lives happen…in order to find yourself, you need to lose yourself.”

Ron and Mary Lou Rafferty named CU Distinguished AlumniBy Ellie McKinley, student news writer

Campbellsville University honored Ron (’69) and Mary Lou Wise (’65) Rafferty with the CU Distinguished Alumni award at the annual Homecoming reception. The couple has been married for 47 years. For their first date, Mary Lou Wise asked Ron Rafferty to a Thanksgiving dinner at their church. Both are Taylor County natives and have been contributors to several roles in the community, as well as Campbellsville University. Ron Rafferty taught in the public school systems for 27 years and came to work at CU during the 1990s. He also works as a farmer and a Campbells-ville University Trustee. Mary Lou Rafferty served as a church pianist, children’s choir leader and a children’s Sunday School teacher for several years. She now enjoys being a volunteer at local nursing homes. The Raffertys shared the profession of teaching, and Mary Lou Rafferty taught first through sixth grades at the Taylor

County School System, then taught courses at CU such as Improving Reading Proficiency, University Success Skills and Children’s Literature. For the past 35 years, the Raffertys have worked together to produce a radio program on Q104. This program airs every Sunday morning ministering to the Christian community of Taylor County. When the couple was honored with this award, both had much to say about their experience at CU. Mary Lou Rafferty said, “This institution has been a blessing and a support system for me when I was a student and as a professor.” Speaking about his wife, Ron Rafferty said, with tear-filled eyes, they could not have picked a better candidate. He said, “I am proud to be a part of a business that builds student-leaders. Never in my life would I have expected for Campbells-ville University and my life to intertwine, and I thank God for this blessing.”

Campbellsville University Homecoming roars like never beforeBy Mary Kutter, student news writer

The 2012 Homecoming was full of celebration. Events included car and motorcycle shows, art exhibit, a parade, face painting, sold out performances of “Hairspray” and the football game, which was aired on national television. “We had an amazing group of alumni and friends,” Paula Smith, director of alumni relations, said. “It made me proud as the alumni director to see our alumni come back home to witness the many changes and to show their love for their alma mater.” This year marked the 20th anniversary of the Tiger Marching Band, performing “Soli Deo Gloria: Glory to God Alone”; the 25th anniversary for football and the

car show’s 20th anniversary, where 165 participants registered—the largest ever. Past Chorale members came for a reunion and performance Friday evening. The Carver School of Social Work and Counseling hosted its reunion and MSW Accreditation Celebration. A veterans reunion and several class reunions also took place. The theater department performed “Hairspray” five times, with an added performance Sunday night due to every show selling out. The CU Tigers defeated rival Lindsey Wilson College, 28-23, with 15 million homes having access to watch the Homecoming game on FOX College Sports Athletic Channel.

Winners of the float competition in the parade were: SWITCH, first place; Residence Life, second place and Education Club, third place. Both SWITCH and Education Club float themes were “Horton Hears a Roar.” The Homecoming Court included eight different candidates for queen and the freshman attendant, Keisha Chiles, of Louisville, Ky. Emily Shultz, a senior, of Mt. Sterling, Ky., representing College Republicans, won Homecoming queen. Second runner-up was Maribeth Milburn, a senior, of Lawrenceburg, Ky., representing Baptist Campus Ministry.

“My experience is that if I’m able to help, guide or influence positively one person at a time, either through sharing ideas or through my life as a Christian, I’ll be helping shape and impact the world.” Denis Santos is from Brazil and is an adjunct instructor in music at CU. He has a “deep relationship with music” that began when he was a child. He belonged to Royal Ambassadors (RAs), a group that was committed to doing volunteer work in poor communi-ties around the area. “Among other things,” Santos said, “we used to wake up at 4:30 in the morning on Saturdays and head to the shore. There we would distribute breakfast to homeless and drugged people who slept under makeshift cardboard boxes they called houses. “Many would tell us that the coffee and bread we were serving was the only food they had eaten in days. The image of those people waking up to somebody offering them food, the gratitude that we could see in their faces and, most of all, this overwhelming feeling of love and care we learned to have for these strangers is what shaped my under-standing of Christianity and what it means to help others. “From then on, for many years, I was involved in projects teaching music in poor communities in my city.”

Santos and Saulo DeAlmeida, an adjunct instructor at CU, formed the Almeida Duo, which is a group that “has a goal of preaching the gospel and Jesus Christ through instrumental music.” They just got back from a mission trip to Brazil, where they performed in more than 15 churches and impacted many people’s lives. Santos is also music minister at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, where Dr. James Jones, a member of CU’s Board of Trustees, serves as pastor. “My goal is to impact and influence positively as many people as possible with my music. My dream is to be able to bring music to poor communities through teaching kids how to play instruments and sing. I believe I can change hearts and minds with music and the word of God,” Santos said. “I also believe that I’m able to draw people to hear my music and to understand the reason I’m a musician, which is to glorify God’s name. I truly believe I can gain their hearts to Jesus,” he said.

“Frances Clinkscales was a tremendous advocate of Campbellsville University,” said Dr. Michael V. Carter, president of Campbellsville University, at the dedication ceremony on Sept. 6 for the Frances Clinkscales Courtyard located between the School of Nursing and the School of Education. Clinkscales, who died Feb. 27, 2008, served on many civic groups, some of which include the Campbellsville City Council, Greater Campbellsville United, Habitat for Humanity, Campbellsville University’s Advisory Council and the State Parole Board. She was a member of the Campbellsville University Advancement Board and has an endowed scholarship named in her honor by former Congressman Ron Lewis, a member of the CU Board of Trustees. She was also a well-respected nurse.

“Ms. Clinkscales was community minded, servant minded and had a heart of love for all people,” Carter said. “She always made time for others.” Campbellsville Mayor Tony Young spoke about Clinkscales and the impact she had on his life. Young said, “She truly cared about all people and wanted the best for them. She caused a domino effect. She would care for others and make you want to do the same. She was a nurse by profession and a caregiver by heart.” She loved people and wanted to help them in any way she could, he added. In honor of Clinkscales, Young together with John Chowning, vice president for church and external relations and executive assistant to the president at Campbellsville University, and Campbellsville University felt it was

appropriate to honor her in the courtyard between the School of Nursing and the School of Education. “I truly believe these two schools represent what Ms. Frances would wish for everyone in our community,” Young said. He said she would also hope “that all children and young people receive the education required to allow them to be as successful as they want to be, and to work in a field of work such as she did.” Young said Clinkscales was a great example, and that he hopes students will stop and reflect on her life and the great community leader, role model, mentor and friend she was. “Ms. Frances would want all of us to know that we all can achieve whatever we want, regardless of any obstacles or hardships we may face,” said Young. “For this is what Ms. Frances did.”

Bobby Thompson and friends live the ‘Ron Finley Memorial Weekend’By Joan C. McKinney, editor

For Bobby Thompson II and his friends, it’s a three-night weekend each year to treasure and always remember. Since 2007, Thompson and several of his friends (now up to 18, the majority of whom are former CU football players) travel to a place where each has his own bed, and they stay in a big house, play golf and remember the Fighting Tiger days with the late coach Ron Finley. “It’s important that we stay in one house and that we each have a bed,” Thompson said. The men stayed in Birmingham, Ala., the first three years, and Myrtle Beach, S.C., was their destination last year. “We enjoy the camaraderie we had in college, and we still love to talk about our experiences at CU,” Thompson said. “What we miss the most is the bond of the players and the locker room,” he

said. “We miss having a lot of fun and all the life lessons that we learned.” “We revert back to our 20s,” Thompson said, “and I’m 40 now!” Thompson said they reminisce about the days when Finley, who was a father figure to them all, loved and cared for them. “He never missed a graduation day,” Thompson said. “We’d meet in the locker room before we went to graduate, and he’d give us a lapel pin. “Coach always said a real man would always have a writing pen with him. He taught us life lessons. He taught us very little football, but his priority that he held dear was where we were going to spend eternity and who we were going to marry. “Coach said family, school and football were important, but where we would spend eternity was much more important.”

Thompson attended the Hall of Fame celebration, and he had the honor to work as a member of the radio broadcast team during the football game that day as well. He said the men have an awards ceremony after their golf outing where someone will win the trophy consisting of a drinking cup on a trophy base. He said Finley would say after a win, “Gentlemen, we’ve won tonight, and we drink deep from the cup of victory.” Thus, the cup trophy. Thompson is a special education teacher at New Highland Elementary School in Hardin County. He is a 1998 graduate who returned to get his master’s in 2010. He is married to Shanae Netherland Thompson (’94); they have two daughters, Riley and Reese.

Nearly 100 Campbellsville University alumni can now call themselves Hall of Famers. On Sept. 15, the Campbellsville University Athletic Hall of Fame inducted the late Ron Finley, CU football head coach from 1987 to 2002, alongside members of the 1987 and 1988 football teams, during a halftime ceremony of the Fighting Tigers’ game against Bethel University. It is the first time CU has given the honor to an entire team. “It is a great honor to be a part of an Athletic Hall of Fame induction, but to be a part of the ceremony for Coach Finley and those first two teams was an honor for me,” said Rusty Hollingsworth, CU athletic director. “To celebrate their induction during this 25th year of Fighting Tiger football was special.”

In 1987, Finley left his career at Russell County High School behind to help begin football at then Campbellsville College. After a 1-3 year as interim head coach of the startup junior varsity team in 1987, Finley was named head coach of the program. The team took the field as a varsity program for the first time in 1988 after a more than 50-year absence. “To be inducted on the same day as Coach Finley, that made it extra special,” said David Delk, a former player of Finley’s at both Russell County and Campbellsville. “It’s a privilege (to be part of the Hall of Fame). I’m real fond of my relationship with Coach Finley as a man, as a coach and as a disciplinarian and father figure that he was to me and so many others.” Finley emphasized life priorities of faith, family, education and football to his

players. During his tenure, he led the Tigers to eight winning seasons, three postseason appearances and numerous NAIA Top 10 rankings. In 1992 and 1997, his Fighting Tiger teams claimed the Mid-South Conference Champion-ship. His teams appeared in the 1997 NAIA first round, the 2000 KWTO Bowl and the 2001 NAIA national quarterfi-nals, finishing that season with a program-best 10-3 record. A three-time MSC Coach of the Year, Finley’s legacy as a coaching mentor lives on in the hundreds of former Tigers now coaching the game of football. “We had some stories to tell,” Delk said. “One of the guys said we need to schedule a game every year, and come back and have a reunion. Hopefully, we can pick the ball up with that and make it somewhat of an annual event for us.”

SPORTS

For the third time in as many seasons, Campbellsville University Fighting Tiger football opened its season under the lights on its new synthetic turf field Sept. 1. Prior to the game, the university paid tribute to Citizens Bank & Trust Company, which helped launch its 2009-2010 “More Than a Game” fundraising campaign for the new amenities by officially dedicating “Citizens Bank Field.” Citizens Bank & Trust Company of Kentucky (CBTKY) provided a lead gift of more than half a million dollars in the summer of 2009 to help launch a project that raised more than $2 million for Campbellsville University’s turf field and lights at both Finley Stadium and the Tiger Baseball Field. “We are so thankful to Citizens Bank for its continued support of Campbellsville University athletics and the entire campus community,” Rusty Hollingsworth, director of athletics, said. “Giving us the lead gift that allowed us to

install turf and lights has enriched the experience for so many students. This is a facility used by the campus community that reaches far beyond athletics.” Since the completion of the field in July 2010, Campbellsville University has hosted more than 50 varsity men’s and women’s soccer competitions, a dozen NAIA football games and a dozen high school football games as of Sept. 1, 2012. The playing surface also has hosted numerous other events, including intramural games, marching band competitions and Guinness World Record-breaking events. Campbellsville played six regular season home games on the field in 2012. “We are very grateful to Citizens Bank & Trust Company for the very generous donation made to the ‘More Than a Game’ athletic capital campaign,” said Dr. Michael V. Carter, president of CU. “The bank’s lead gift on the turf and lights project enabled us to proceed with

these improvements to our athletic facilities, and the naming of the football field, as the ‘Citizens Bank Field,’ has been done to officially recognize this lending institution’s support. We thank Citizens Bank CEO Mark Johnson, and all of the bank directors, for their continuing and exemplary support of Campbellsville University.” Johnson, who is a strong supporter of CU athletics and the university as a whole, said he and his company are proud to partner with Campbellsville University on a regular basis. “The families of Citizens Bank are proud of our stewardship in promoting Christian principles and values at Campbellsville University,” Johnson said. “We hope all the student-athletes who use this field will come away spiritually enriched and better prepared for their future. We are truly blessed to have this chance to make a difference in our children’s lives!”
