Every year mountain climbers abandon the security of their base camp with dreams of attaining new heights or discovering uncharted territory. Climbers thrive on the challenge of

completing a trek never before accomplished and the reward of enjoying a rare pinnacle view. Such an ascent requires considerable preparation to ensure that the climber possesses the necessary tools for each possible condition encountered. To enjoy such a thrill requires discipline, training, and determination.

At Greenville College, we help students make their own personal ascent as they embark on new professional, personal, and spiritual frontiers. The faculty at Greenville College desire that their students attain heights higher than those they personally realized. Toward that end, professors diligently work with their students, providing the training, leadership, and guidance needed for students to succeed at the climb of their lives. With these tools, and their hand in the Lord’s, Greenville College graduates attain pinnacle accomplishments in their professional, personal, and spiritual endeavors.

One young climber ventured to Greenville College a few years ago from the inner city of East St. Louis, away from brothers that commonly ended up in jail. Now, in his senior year at Greenville College, this young man provides leadership in the student government and aspires to become a lawyer. One

day, he plans to return to his community where he will, using his skills as an attorney, work to improve the lives of the people in his former neighborhood. Although students at Greenville College come from different sides of the mountain, each learn the tools necessary to reach their own pinnacle.

The coming years will find young Greenville College scientists conducting experiments in fields yet to be defined. Budding teachers will incorporate online technology to solve problems in an increasingly complex society. Music will evolve through a metamorphosis of composition which will be captured on recording in the basement of Greenville College’s Whitlock Music Center. Young Greenville College scholars will publish manuscripts that serve as the reference documents for other explorers in their respective fields.

Adult students are also charting new territory. In twelve locations across the state of Illinois, there are lights in classrooms where working adults have returned to class for the evening to complete their dreams. Soon, we will offer a new Master of Science in Management Practice for those who desire a practical graduate degree. Through adult programs, Greenville College students have more options than ever to fulfill their God-given dreams.

This report contains nine vignettes that describe Greenville College’s ascent. Interspersed between these vignettes, you will find the names of the donors

that have made this all possible. Most climbers would never be able to climb the mountain without financial supporters to fund their expedition. Greenville College is no different. Without our donor support, Greenville College students could not experience this unique educational journey. Through the faithful giving of our donors, Greenville College students receive the equipment necessary to navigate the steep inclines and deep crevasses of life.

Thank you for your financial and prayer support. May God richly bless each of you who so faithfully give of your time and resources to help the young Greenville College climbers make their ascent.

Dr. Larry Linamen, President

“You make a living by what you get – You make a life by what you give.” (Winston Churchill)

By Scott Giffen ‘99

I can’t help but to say YES to that. Isn’t that why Christ came? To give? To give us a chance. The chains of sin, addiction, pride, materialism and gluttony had hopelessly bound us to death. God came to give us a chance. God, through the resurrection of God’s self, breaks these chains and gives us life! In his ministry, Jesus spoke emphatically about giving - over and over and over again. The greatest two commandments are all about giving – “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself.” In order to love, we must give. Give of our selves – our preferences – comforts – time – money. We make life – or even better - we receive life when we give.

A gift of stock is a great way to support Greenville College and provides you two major benefits. First, there is a charitable deduction for the value of the stock. Second, Greenville will not pay tax on the sale of the stock and you will bypass the capital gain. To learn more about planned giving to Greenville College, please contact the Office of Advancement at 618-664-6500 or the Free Methodist Foundation at 800-325-8975.

As a student at Greenville, I am in constant pursuit of transformation. I am perpetually pushed to better myself as a student, as a community member, as a citizen, and most importantly as a follower of Christ. -Caleb Romoser ’12

Bioethics Conference Slated for AprilBy Kayla Fisher, MD, JD, CPE, DFAPA

Bioethical issues increasingly present themselves in theological, political, and social settings. For physicians and other healthcare professionals, bioethical issues commonly intertwine with their medical practice. Additionally, those in academics are often unexpectedly faced with decisions that require an examination of bioethical issues from a framework that includes the disciplines of science, law, and ethics in the context of Christian faith.

Greenville College is answering this need to better understand the world of increasingly perplex bioethical issues by presenting our first Bioethics Conference on Saturday, April 10, 2010. This conference will feature Christopher Hook, MD ’80, a bioethicist in practice at the Mayo Clinic, along with Robert Cranston, MD ’77, and Aaron Cobb, PhD ’01. The speakers will cover a variety of topics in bioethics, including presentations in areas such as eugenics, human re-engineering, and lessons from the Terri Schiavo case.

Giving us an opportunity to understand what it’s like to work in the business is a perfect way for us to apply what we’re learning in the classroom. - Lucas Harger ’11, Blackroom Records President.

I always tell my students and my friends about how amazing my college experience was at GC. I was in several bands and learned so much about myself in the process. If it wasn’t for the isolated, yet modern culture of music at GC I would not have had the focus needed to gain the tools and skills necessary in the real market. GC is the ultimate experience in student development. Some colleges focus on being expedient, but do not provide the time it takes to develop your skills in a safe and supportive environment. When you survive the training at GC with brilliant colors, then the real world will be a challenge you embrace knowing very well you have a leg up on the competition. - Vince Casas ’04 of the band Theory of Flight

GC Means (Music) BusinessBy Dave Schreiber, Assistant Professor of Music Business & Gary Erickson, Assistant Professor of Music

It’s an exciting time to be a Music Business Major at Greenville College! The fall of 2009 saw the launch of Blackroom Records, a student-run record company that gives students practical experience working in the music industry. Not only does it give them the opportunity to understand the inner workings of a record label and the managing of an artist, it also provides an outlet for songwriters, artists and musicians looking to have their music recorded, distributed and marketed around the country. Our first artist, Zach Strout, a singer-songwriter and Greenville College student, will be releasing his first album in March of 2010, entitled Luggage Rack. This collection of songs tells the story of his life and experience growing up in Maine and as a student in Greenville, IL. Find Blackroom Records online at www.blackroom-records.com.

In conjunction with the resurgence of Blackroom Records, the completion of our recording studio re-designs and the new offering of a B.S. in Recording Industry has set Greenville College apart from the rest. These redesigns give students high quality, industry standard recording, production, scoring, post-production and mastering tools and equipment. Students complete both class and individual projects in a real-world setting. These experiences give our students an industry advantage.

This was my first online class, yet I can already say I almost enjoy online learning more than classroom learning. It offers flexibility and a vibrant yet more relaxed atmosphere. - Chris Coulton ’11 (student from online sociology class)

Online learning allows Greenville College faculty to reach places most of us can only dream about. Whether students are on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific or a mission village in Africa, Greenville College faculty can go there with them. Gone are the days where the small, caring, Christian liberal arts college is limited geographically to a privileged few.” - Dr. Larry Linamen

Page 11: GC Ascent

GC OnlineBy Dr. Vickie Cook, Dean of School of Education & Director of Online Learning

GC’s online learning initiative has come a long way in a short time! After completing an online course during the summer of 2009, one student said, “I can’t believe that I learned so much taking my class online. This has been an awesome experience!” By summer 2010 over 250 students will have enrolled in over 80 Greenville College classes online. Many class sections are taught by full-time GC faculty, which creates an extension of our campus community and a quality online program.

January 2010 begins the launch of the Master of Arts in Education in Teacher Leadership. This degree program will be offered through online technology and in March, the Organizational Leadership program will begin an online cohort. We are excited to continue to grow programs and extend the community that is Greenville College through online learning.

This team is like no other team and that is because the coaches not only want you to be great on the football field, but they want you to be great men of God. EMAP Football is a family; I would do anything for my brothers on the team and I know they would do the same for me. We were picked to go 3-7 this year but we went 7-3 and I believe it is due to our heart and our love for one another. Now that I’m done with football at GC I’m striving to someday to be a great husband, great father and a great man of God. Every Man A Panther! - Garrett Young ’ 10

“GC football is not about making better players; it’s about making better men.” (Coach Eric Hehman)

By BJ Schneck, Sports Information Director

The Greenville College football program continues to produce men with qualities which allow them to become great husbands, fathers, friends, and workers. The coaching staff is fully committed to its mission and encourages its students to compete athletically at the highest level, learn continually in the classroom and on the field, develop their spiritual lives, grow as outstanding citizens, and mature through character development and leadership training.

The 2009 football season saw the Panthers perform at a high level on the playing field. The team was the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference south division champion and participated in the NCCAA Victory Bowl for the second time in GC history. The team ended the season with a record of 7-3. Following the season, 16 Panthers were named to the UMAC south division all-conference team, and head coach Eric Hehman was awarded UMAC south division coach of the year.

Becoming a Resident Chaplain has been one of the best things that has happened to me at Greenville College. My goal while attending GC is to find out what type of person God wants me to be, and to get out of my comfort zone. Greenville has allowed this in many ways; I have grown spiritually, formed close friendships, and grown tremendously as a person since coming to GC. - Reuben Gay ’11

Up is DownBy Dustin Fenton, Assistant Dean of Men & Tim Ferret, Coordinator of Resident Education

One of our Residence Life core values is service, placing others before ourselves. As we chose a theme for this academic year, we took what Jesus thought about this core value when he said “the first shall be last,” and we took ownership of that concept with our theme, “Up is Down.” Often organizations use pyramids to represent the structure of hierarchy, but at GC we really want to focus on serving students and turning that hierarchy on its head. This flip is counter to what our culture is pounding into our students everyday; we want to be an outlet and example of ways they can transform their thought patterns. To further symbolize this theme and idea, and meld it with our Residence Life mission statement to “provide a life giving community,” we chose an upside down tree with the roots in the air. This represents the “up is down” concept, but also signifies that our strength and influence comes from the Lord above and not ourselves. This is the only way to live an “up is down” life.

Chemistry … Even a Caveman Can Do ItBy Dr. Darrell Iler, Professor of Chemistry & Chemistry Department Chair

A few years ago the GC Chemistry Department attacked the problem of low student enrollment in general education chemistry electives by developing a new course that would present chemistry in a unique contextual format designed to attract students even if “chemistry” was in the course title. Thus was born Caveman Chemistry. This is a course that explores the introduction of historically important chemical discoveries and technologies into human culture. In this course students explore ancient technologies by recreating them in the lab. They discover how our ancestors used natural resources such as wood, rock, clay, sand and ash to create technologies, art and materials like fire, stone tools, metals, glass, explosives, fibers and others that changed human history. These kinds of experiences naturally lead to students being more receptive and sometimes even eager to learn the chemistry behind the technology. Caveman Chemistry with its innovative integration of science, history and art has helped increase student interest and enrollment in chemistry courses. Ultimately, we believe this increased interest and understanding of the physical sciences has helped enhance the overall quality of the GC liberal arts program.

Being a part of the GC choir has been such a grand blessing for me as a student at Greenville. The other students have become my family, and I couldn’t imagine navigating my college experience without their friendship and support to steady me. We’ve developed meaningful, lasting friendships with each other and have grown both as musicians and as children of God. The expansive repertoires and the opportunities to travel far and wide each spring have been the highlight of each year, and I thank God for allowing us to bless others with the gifts He has given us. - Lisa Gines ’11

Choral Program Continues to “Raise the Bar”By Jeff Wilson, Director of Choral Studies & Professor of Music

The choral program here at Greenville continues to thrive and experience God’s blessing. Both the Choir and the Chamber Singers have shared great highlights this past year, including a performance with the world-renowned Boston Camerata at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, President Larry Linamen’s Inauguration Ceremony and Inauguration Concert on the GC campus, and the 79th performance of Handel’s “Messiah” with the Greenville Choral Union and Orchestra. The Chamber Singers have also been invited to perform at the Illinois Music Educators Association All-State Conference in Peoria, IL in January 2010.

The Choir now looks forward to the 2010 Spring Tour. This tour is a vital part of the education of Greenville Choir members and provides unique opportunities for ministry to a variety of churches, schools and communities. This year’s 83rd annual spring concert schedule tentatively includes stops in Washington D.C.; Princeton, NJ; New York, NY; Toledo, OH; Chicago, IL; Waynesboro, PA; St. Louis, MO; Indianapolis, IN; Champaign-Urbana, IL; and other southern Illinois cities. CDs from the Spring Tour last season, Songs of Redemption, are available.

ChurchesRECOGNIZING GIFTS FROM CHURCHES DURING THE PERIOD OF JULY 1, 2008 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2009

My time at Greenville profoundly changed my life and the lives of my family members. As a result of my education there, I was promoted to a new full-time job with a salary increase; introduced to a new part-time job doing something I love; and I got accepted into grad school at Washington University in St. Louis. The bottom line is that God has blessed me greatly through my time a Greenville. - Scott Martin ’06

Off-Campus Programs Provide New PossibilitiesBy Dave Holden, Dean of Professional Studies

GC’s undergraduate and graduate off-campus degree programs, a vibrant part of carrying out our mission, are integrating online learning capabilities into their offerings. Additionally, work is underway to add new majors and locations.

Now in its 15th year of serving adult learners throughout central and southern Illinois, the Organizational Leadership degree completion program is evolving its curriculum to maintain its core qualities while offering the learning benefits of online pedagogies. Beginning in March 2010, students will have the choice of two formats: a blended online or the long favored one-night per week face-to-face classroom schedule. This spring also finds the School of Education working on two exciting developments. First, the Master of Arts in Education (MAE) in Educational Leadership is shifting from a summer session schedule to a year-round, blended online format. Second, our undergraduate teacher education program, offered off-campus at nearby Kaskaskia College and Lewis and Clark Community College will add a third location in Lincoln, IL as a partnership with Lincoln Christian University continues to grow. Finally, a new graduate program is in final review by the Higher Learning Commission and, once approved, implementation will begin.
