Dear alumni and friends of Iowa Wesleyan College:
One of Iowa Wesleyan College’s greatest assets is its talented and dedicated faculty. The College has a long history of legendary faculty. Dr. George LaMore, Mildred Bensmiller, Dr. Louis Haselmayer and Dr. Thomas Poulter, to name only a few, have changed the lives of generations of Iowa Wesleyan graduates. Their examples of outstanding teaching, scholarship and service are carried on every day by their successors.
Nursing professor Lori Vick spent the summer working in the prestigious and highly competitive Summer Genetics Institute at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. She was one of a handful of faculty from around the nation selected to participate. In the words of the NIH website, the Institute “provides participants with a foundation in molecular genetics appropriate for use in research and clinical practice.” Professor Vick worked with some of the leading genetics researchers in the world, bringing back to her Iowa Wesleyan students a direct link to the frontier of scientific inquiry in this field. The College has been well represented by the faculty all over the world in recent months. Education professor Linda Widmer returned to Lithuania, where she taught English at an international school for much of the summer. Her efforts over the last two years are promoting stronger intercultural ties between the United States and the Baltic nations. Similarly, Dr. Tony Mutsune, an economist in the Business Division, spent much of his summer in Bogotá, Columbia, where he worked with Children’s Vision International, an organization devoted to rescuing and caring for homeless children. Taking advantage of a sabbatical leave, Professor Don Jones is studying the art and architecture of Oaxaca, Mexico, adding to his expertise of the region and thereby enhancing his students’ creative capabilities. These are but a few recent examples of the activities of Iowa Wesleyan faculty beyond the classroom. This fall, we welcome five new faculty members to campus: Ricardo Dow y Anaya in physical education, Margaret Runaas in music, Kathleen McCleary in accounting, Becky Beckner in education and Susan Johnson in nursing. Also new to the campus is Dr. Jeff Fager, vice president for academic affairs. Each of these faculty members is already making a contribution to advancing the College’s academic programs. Dean
Fager is working assiduously to support the faculty in their efforts and strengthen the academic experience for all students. Academics are the heart of an Iowa Wesleyan College education, and it is the faculty who serve as the foundation of teaching and learning. Today our faculty is carrying on a proud legacy of teaching, scholarship and service well established by so many other Iowa Wesleyan College faculty members over the years.
Sincerely,
Jay K. Simmons, Ph.D. President

Honor Code emphasizes community of trust
The value of a diploma is a function of the college’s reputation. That’s the message being shared with Iowa Wesleyan students this year as the College implements the Academic Honor Code and Academic Honor Council.
Though new this school year, planning and preparation for this campus-wide initiative have been underway for several years. A task force studied the campus climate, conducted surveys and researched other colleges using various models of honor codes.
“Surveys showed us that we did not have a cohesive student culture regarding academic integrity, so students had a fairly lax attitude toward academic honesty,” said Dr. Jeff Martinek, professor of English, who served on the task force.
“Establishing this Honor Code says that we choose to be a school that has a reputation for honor,” said Martinek, who now serves as an advisor to the student Honor Council. “Students are partners in protecting the school’s reputation and have a stake in what their diplomas stand for.”
The Honor Code empowers students as the primary stewards of a campus community of honor. It is structured to give them the responsibility both to act honorably and to decide what to do when they see standards of academic honor violated by others.
Materials distributed to students identify specific offenses covered by the Honor Code, such as plagiarism and cheating. They also identify student rights and responsibilities.
As part of freshman orientation, each incoming student will participate in a series of activities that explain the Academic Honor Code, culminating in a tutorial, exam, and signed statement of compliance. All transfer and Extended Learning students will participate in an online tutorial, pass an online exam and sign a statement of compliance.
“What students understand through this process is that when someone cheats in a class, it affects all of us,” said Martinek. “It is difficult to maintain high standards of academic integrity if others aren’t.”
Key to the success of the program is student engagement and commitment. That is why the Academic Honor Council, charged with handling alleged violations, is made up of students. It includes three seniors, three juniors and three sophomores. They are charged with representing the student body and promoting academic honor in the campus community. Each student on the Council must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 and demonstrate leadership through campus and/or community involvement.
The Vice President for Academic Affairs and three faculty members serve as non-voting advisors to the Council.
Martinek emphasized that the purpose of the program is not to be punitive. “There are built-in stops along the way for resolution,” he said. “We want to try to resolve most cases without a Council hearing.”
“Students recognize that they have a say in what their education means,” Martinek said. “They realize that we all have a stake in making this a community of honor.”
Iowa Wesleyan President Jay Simmons agreed. “The defining point is that we are building a community of trust between faculty and students, and students as they relate to each other,” he said.
iowa wesleyan College academic honor CodeAs a student of Iowa Wesleyan College, I affirm our community of honor by agreeing to actively uphold the Academic Honor Code. I will not commit acts of academic dishonesty such as cheating, plagiarism or the fabrication of data. I will report violations, including my own, and cooperate with investigations and procedures of the student Academic Honor Council.
Students sign the Honor Code in a ceremony this fall.

For Lori Vick ’92, assistant professor of nursing at Iowa Wesleyan, summer school involved learning, not teaching.
Vick is enrolled in a Ph.D. program at the Medical University of South Carolina. She is focusing her research on pain management, pharmacogenomics and individuals with sickle cell disease.
This summer she took part in an internship at the Summer Genetics Institute offered by the National Institutes of Health-National Institutes of Nursing Research. She was one of 24 nurses from across the country studying and conducting research at the NIH labs in Bethesda, Maryland.
The month-long internship included safety training programs, genetic and molecular biology lectures and core laboratory work in genetics. It also included the opportunity to meet and work with other researchers and develop a network of contacts in the genetics field.
“Nurse geneticists make up a small but growing community,” Vick said. “It is a group that is going to be quite influential in regard to disease management. This area of research gives us the opportunity to see how people are vulnerable to illness and how we might be able to do something about it.”
The internship included doing genetic research in molecular biology. Participants worked in pairs under the direction of scientists, working through a series of genetic assessments.
“We completed a number of experiments with a variety of cells, from cancer cells to our own cells,” Vick said. They also used HeLa cells, the oldest and most commonly used human cell line, derived from cervical cancer cells from Henrietta Lacks.
“Doing the science gave me a much better understanding that will help when I am developing a program of primary research,” Vick said.
The internship also introduced Vick to the enormous library of research that has already been done which can provide data for her own project.
While the internship experience was valuable to Vick for her own education, she intends for it to impact her students, as well. She teaches the basic genetic unit in Human Anatomy and Physiology to all first-year nursing students and plans to expand the content further.
“Our nursing students are going to understand the role of genetics in health right from the start
of their education,” she said. As students advance in their nursing education, they will have the opportunity to continue to learn about the genetic influence in disease cause and management, she added.
Moving from student to teacher and bringing that education full circle just makes sense to Vick. “I was completely honored to be chosen for this experience,” she said. “The leadership of this program invested in me and I want to turn that into something positive for others, as well.”
Vick anticipates taking another year of classes, leading up to the writing of her dissertation. She hopes to complete her doctorate in the next three years.
Genetics internship connects faculty learning to teaching
research interest based on family experience
Lori Vick’s research focus on the population with sickle cell disease is personal. She chose to study the genetics of sickle cell disease for her doctorate degree because she has three cousins with the disease and knows first-hand its impact on quality of life.
Sickle cell disease is inherited from both parents. It occurs when red blood cells form an abnormal sickle, or crescent, shape. These abnormal red blood cells obstruct the delivery of oxygen to the body’s tissues. Patients with sickle cell can have extremely painful episodes, called crises.
Sickle cell is more prolific than most people realize, Vick noted. “It is a world-wide disease, with higher incidences in
people who live nearer the Equator,” she said. Vick explains that it is an evolutionary disorder arising
from a genetic adaptation to the prevention of malaria. Those who suffer from it are “an underserved
population who find it very difficult to have a normal life,” she said. She hopes that genetic research can help the medical community find ways to help patients manage the disease and minimize their pain.

Iowa Wesleyan College has been ranked as one of the top colleges in the country for its contribution to
the public good.The Washington Monthly ranked 352
colleges offering bachelor’s degrees. Iowa Wesleyan ranked sixth overall in institutional commitment to service, placing it in the top two percent nationally. The College ranked
18th nationally in the category of student service participation and hours served, placing it
in the top six percent of colleges.In explaining the emphasis on service in its
rankings, the magazine noted that “students at our best colleges are taught by example and design to look beyond themselves and give back.”
The Washington Monthly rated schools based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: social mobility, research and service.
Social mobility ranks colleges on the enrollment and graduation of low-income students. Research recognizes research production, particularly at schools whose undergraduates go on to earn PhDs. The service category includes the number of students who serve in ROTC, the number of alumni who serve in the
new students sharing service experience
Wesleyan Seminar, a one-semester course held each fall,
introduces new students to the culture, resources and expectations of college.
Each Wesleyan Seminar section performs an academic service-learning project, helping students to understand from their first semester on campus the importance of service in their Iowa Wesleyan education. Research done by George Kuh (Chancellors’ Professor Emeritus of Higher Education at Indiana University) indicates that participating in service projects is a best practice for building community among first-year students; these projects are also undertaken to help students learn about the Mount Pleasant area, understand and enact IWC’s mission and develop the Life Skills.
These are the projects underway in the fall 2012 semester:“Imagine No Malaria” is a project of the United Methodist Church
to end malaria in Africa. Students in four Wesleyan Seminar sections
are participating in an educational outreach to the IWC community and fundraising for this effort.
“Night Hike” promotes conservation education to elementary school children through skits. It is an annual event organized in collaboration with the Henry County Conservation Department.
Harlan Fall Festival is an event at a local elementary school designed to raise funds for playground equipment. Students work with the school’s parents’ group to serve at the Fall Festival.

Peace Corps and federal work-study funds spent on service, as well as the student service participation and institutional commitment to service through staffing, courses and financial aid support.
Iowa Wesleyan ranked 31st overall for baccalaureate colleges, placing it in the top nine percent nationally.
“There are many college ranking systems, but this one focuses on how well colleges serve not just students, but the public good,” said Iowa Wesleyan College President Jay Simmons. “Iowa Wesleyan’s achievement as one of the top colleges in the country in such a measure recognizes our long-standing commitment to service and to meeting the needs of a wide variety of students.”
For more than 40 years, all Iowa Wesleyan students have participated in service projects. More recently, service-learning has been built into the curriculum, increasing the variety of service projects each student is involved in while linking service with academic course content.
The Washington Monthly is a publication covering politics, government, culture and the media. It has been publishing its college rankings since 2005.

Iowa Wesleyan College President Jay Simmons has assumed the duties of president of the National Association of Schools & Colleges of the United Methodist Church (NASCUMC).
NASCUMC is a voluntary association of schools, colleges and universities committed to the historic and distinctive values of United Methodist-related education. There are 120 institutions in the United States listed as United Methodist-related schools, colleges, universities, medical college and theological schools.
The organization meets semiannually for professional development; study of institutional issues; and analysis of proposed legislation and guidelines that affect student aid, federal programs, institutional governance, and reporting requirements.
The goals of NASCUMC are to advance the work of education and scholarship in member institutions; to work cooperatively with conferences, boards and agencies of The United Methodist Church to address issues of mutual concern to the Church and the Academy; to work in partnership with the Church to educate students for leadership and service to the global community; to foster and encourage the
common good of member institutions, and to strengthen the collegiality and camaraderie among member presidents, deans and heads of school.
“Iowa Wesleyan College’s affiliation with the United Methodist Church is an integral part of our mission and identity,” said Simmons. “Working together through NASCUMC, all of the United Methodist colleges and institutions are able to enhance student learning and increase our service to our surrounding communities. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this work on behalf of Iowa Wesleyan.”
Simmons assumed the presidency of the organization at the 2012 Annual Meeting, held July 22-25 in Rockport, Maine.
Simmons has served as president of Iowa Wesleyan College since 2008.
Dr. Jeffrey Fager has joined the Iowa Wesleyan administrative team as vice president for academic affairs and dean.

Tad Hulst was named head coach for cross country/track & field programs. Hulst comes to the Tigers after three years as a volunteer assistant cross country/track coach at the University of Iowa, where he helped coach the first sub-4 minute miler in Hawkeye history. Multiple student-athletes garnered All-Region honors in cross country during his time there. The Hawkeyes also won their first Big Ten title in 44 years during the 2011 outdoor season while Hulst was on staff.
Prior to joining the Hawkeyes, Hulst spent a year as an assistant boys and girls cross country coach at Holland Christian High School (MI). Several of his athletes earned All-Conference honors and went on to
hulst named cross country/track coach
compete collegiately. Hulst competed for a year at Carthage College
(WI) before transferring to Calvin College (MI), where he earned his bachelor’s degree in communications. While at Calvin College, Hulst was a member of the 2006 NCAA DIII Cross Country National Championship team. Calvin finished second and fourth in the nation during the other two years Hulst was there. Hulst also was an NCAA DIII Cross Country All-American and was the MIAA Conference Cross Country MVP. On the track, he was a two-time NCAA DIII provisional qualifier in the 5,000 meters.
Hulst also serves as sports information director for Iowa Wesleyan College.

As Iowa Wesleyan moves through its first season as an exploratory member
of the NCAA, advances are already evident that will smooth the transition, according to Dr. Linda Buchanan, vice president for student life.
Buchanan, along with
Athletic Director Mike Hampton, President Jay Simmons and NCAA
Compliance Officer for IWC, Steve Williamson, attended the NCAA
Exploratory Membership meeting in Indianapolis this fall.
While the move to full affiliation with NCAA is a multi-year process, Iowa Wesleyan is “way ahead of
the game,” according to Hampton. “Iowa Wesleyan is the only one
of the four schools beginning the move to NCAA D-III this year that already has conference affiliations in place.” The Tigers have been accepted for membership in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (SLIAC) for all sports except football; the football team will begin playing an Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) schedule next year.
“Being part of the SLIAC and UMAC offers us significant benefit during the exploratory and provisional membership process,” said Hampton. “It provides our student-
athletes an
opportunity to compete with comparable programs and qualify for individual conference honors.”
In addition, Iowa Wesleyan is
an active member of the United States Small College Athletic
Association (USCAA) during its provisional membership in the NCAA. This provides Tiger teams an opportunity to participate in national championship tournaments for which they qualify.
The restructuring of the financial aid program that the College undertook last year has also moved IWC ahead of other schools in the
re-affiliation process. While returning Tiger student-athletes retained their athletic scholarships this year, new students were awarded
academic scholarships, moving IWC to the NCAA-model for this year’s
incoming students.
“Beginning that shift away
from athletic scholarships and having clearly defined academic expectations and scholarships for our student-athletes right from the
start is huge for us,” said Williamson. “It gives us, as coaches, the tools we
need to identify and recruit
top student-athletes.”The coaches and admissions
staff are working together to
build the entering class for 2013. In addition to existing recruitment
software and operations, the College has added a recruiting tool
called Front Rush.
“Front Rush gives us a way to communicate to and prioritize our recruits that we have never had before,” said Hampton. “It also provides the admissions staff with a shared view of our top recruits so we can coordinate communication.”
“We enter this phase of Tiger athletics very confident about the future of the program,” said Simmons. “Even in this transition phase, we are able to provide quality competitive opportunities for our student-athletes.”

Chicago-area alumni and friends gathered at the Danada House in Wheaton this fall.
alumni and friends gathered in new Jerseytwo join board of trustees
Jim Brockway and Winifred Thomas ’69 were elected to the Iowa Wesleyan College Board of Trustees during their October meeting.
Brockway, of Burlington, is the senior vice president of Brockway Mechanical and Roofing Company. He is also the founder and partner in Horizon Group International, a demographic market and branding research firm. Brockway earned a Ph.D. from Iowa State University, a master’s degree from Illinois Institute of Technology and a bachelor’s degree from St. Ambrose University. He is married to Linda Eggenberger Brockway ’70.
Thomas returns to the Board after a one-year absence. She served on the Board from 1999-2011. Now living in Florham Park, New Jersey, Thomas is retired. She has been a business owner. She lived in Paris for five years, returning to the United States in 2010. Thomas earned her degree in biology at IWC and a master’s of social work at the University of Iowa.
Brenda Edgar ’81 had a big farm house, a desire to grow her bed and breakfast business and a need for a pair of helping hands. She reached out through the Iowa Wesleyan Career Services office, and an alumni-student connection was made. Edgar hired Jamie Lippert, an education major, to work with her this past summer at So Dear to My Heart Bed & Breakfast near Ainsworth, Iowa.
It’s a win-win situation. It’s a business arrangement that worked so well, the summer job turned into year-round employment.
For Brenda, Jamie has proven invaluable in helping clean, cook, serve and assist guests. In exchange she earns free room and board, the run of the
four-acre property and a flexible work schedule as she finishes her college education.
Brenda appreciates the way Jamie “seems to know what needs to be done even before I say it,” and Jamie appreciates the support of a second “mom”, who studied the same classes in college.
