MTake a walk across the oklahoma City university campus and you’ll be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t have a favorite story—or two, three or four—about soon-to-retire president Tom mcDaniel.

mcDaniel has given the oCu commu-nity many happy memories that they say have inspired them to be better students, better workers, better par-ents, better citizens and better people all-around.

oCu nursing Dean marvel Williamson didn’t have to think back too far to recall her favorite memory. Her hus-band, Dr. paul Williamson, recently took a medical mission trip to aid earthquake victims in Haiti.

“While my husband was in Haiti, Tom took the time to call to tell me that he and Brenda were thinking about me and praying for paul,” she said. “i was honored that he took the time to call personally and was very touched by his kindness.”

A phone call mcDaniel made to oCu Vice president for student Affairs rick Hall also resonated in Hall’s mind. He had only worked for mcDaniel for about a year and had just completed some major tasks for putting the university on a new track.

“on the morning of new year’s Day my phone rang,” Hall recalled, remem-bering that he thought something must be wrong at the university. instead, it was a happy call to wish Hall and his family a happy new year. “He thanked me for the work i had done and for my investment in the team that had much work to do in the coming year. it was a thank you and a call to arms. i felt good. i felt empowered. i felt like part of a group of people with a common and noble objective of taking good care of oCu.”

Hall said he has now made it a per-sonal tradition to call the directors in his office.

“every new year’s Day since then, i try to pass along the spirit of Tom mcDaniel with a phone call to the people that make the good work of our division possible,” he said. “it’s a simple message, ‘We are together and glad you are on board.’”

entertainment business senior elizabeth newton said she will never forget the first time she met mcDaniel. she was a junior in high school and was taking a university tour.

“We were walking back to the visitor center and passed president mcDaniel on the way,” she recalled. “my admis-sions counselor introduced my parents and me to president mcDaniel and we talked for a bit. As we walked away, she whispered, ‘He will always remem-ber who you are.’ in the last four years at oCu i have found that to be true,” newton continued. “president mcDaniel is like a celebrity on our campus. students get excited when they see him coming and want to have a con-versation with him.”

newton said mcDaniel was one of her biggest cheerleaders as she coor-dinated the Homecoming sweepstakes Competition this year.

“i know he wants me to succeed,” she said. “i am so blessed that my college career has included president mcDaniel.”

Bachelor’s-to-Bsn nursing student lindsey Voss met mcDaniel in 2001 when she was a mass communications senior at oCu. she saw him again a couple of years after graduating and realized that she was still “a name, not a number.”

“i ran into him a few years later on campus at a baseball game,” Voss remembered. “He came right up to me, called me by name and remembered that i played softball and had blown out my knee. The slogan ‘Where you’re a name, not a number’ came to life that day.”

pam Bobier, administrative assis-tant for the petree College of Arts and sciences dean, said she remem-bers getting a big hug and smile from mcDaniel when she received her mas-ter’s degree last year.

“He may not know it, but that meant a lot to me,” she said.

oCu economics professor steve Agee still remembers one of his first meetings with mcDaniel. Agee arrived a few minutes early and waited while mcDaniel finished a budget meeting. As mcDaniel apologized for being late, Agee assured him there was no problem.

“He was gracious in understanding my comment, but he added some-thing i will always remember—that he

would never again be late to a meet-ing between the two of us, and he has been true to his word,” Agee said. “i appreciate president mcDaniel’s honesty, candor, thoughtfulness and work ethic.”

oCu Vice president for university Church relations maggie Ball said she appreciates mcDaniel’s capacity to care and take charge when needed. she recalled a Christmas Vespers Concert a couple of years ago at the Bishop W. Angie smith Chapel.

“As one of the choirs was perform-ing, it became apparent that one of the young ladies was getting wobbly and was about to pass out,” Ball explained. mcDaniel was sitting on the front row and immediately jumped up to assist the student.

“By the time i was able to get from the other side of the sanctuary, he had helped her into Harris Chapel and had her lie down in one of the pews,” Ball said. “He was like a mother hen

caring for one of her, in this case—his—chicks. it was so like him to see exactly what needed to be done and to jump up and do it without waiting to see if anyone else was

going to respond. What a great com-bination of taking charge with great tenderness. This really captured the essence of this remarkable man and his great love for students.”

intramural and recreational sports Director Jonathan Triplett appreciates mcDaniel’s sense of humor.

“When he came through the smoke at the Celebration of the Century at the Freede Center, he won me over,” Triplett said. “He was so funny. They introduced him and had smoke going and out of nowhere, he paused and came out as if he had never seen smoke before. it was the talk of the campus for a very long time.”

Triplett said he also sees mcDaniel’s strength.

“He overcame cancer and came back to work. He is a soldier and a hero for that,” Triplett said.

Create a Legacy of Giving

THE OKLAHOMA UNITED METHODIST FOUNDATION

800-259-6863 • www.okumf.org

Give a gift that will bring a lifetime of bene�ts to you and help secure the �nancial future of our United Methodist pastors.

A seminary education for our United Methodist clergy is costly, and the Leadership Investment Fund through Education (LIFE), held at the Oklahoma United Methodist Foundation, was created to help alleviate the �nancial burden of clergy responding to the call to serve our church

in the Oklahoma Annual Conference.

With the LIFE Gift Annuity (LGA), you make a gift to the LIFE Scholarship Fund and receive �xed income for life. Your payment rate will be based on your age, and a portion of your payment may even be

tax-free. You may also receive valuable tax savings from a charitable income tax deduction in the year you make the gift.  e LGA

may be for two lives and may be deferred until you retire. For more information about the LIFE Gift Annuity, contact David Battles

today at 800-259-6863 or dbattles@okumf.org.
