Dear Friends, What a pleasure it is to introduce the third issue of our annual report, Momentum. I hope you will enjoy looking back at highlights of the year just completed and reading the vignettes of some of the great people who personify Schreiner University.

As chairman, I really enjoy working with President Tim Summerlin. His leadership is defined not only by a congenial personality and immense energy, but also by his skill at building a team with a distinct and shared vision. He works well with the senior administration, the board of trustees, faculty, staff, the local community and—most importantly—our students.

I think we are in a unique time in the history of Schreiner where we are close to accomplishing several of our goals: a student body of 1,200 students, an increasing endowment, a physical plant that is necessary to attract our students and provide them what they need to be successful.

We could not do any of these things without you, our donors! Thank you for being partners in this exciting and important work!

Sincerely,

Michael Pate ’71, Washington, D.C.

Beautifying the Campus South-Texas Style

President Tim Summerlin has a tradition he tries to observe every year. That

is, he likes to greet students each fall with a visible campus improvement completed during the summer. And, thanks to the continued generosity and encouragement of Donna and Royce (’49) Faulkner, this year’s improvement is a major transformation, principally accomplished over the summer.

Ravaged by the South Texas drought, the spacious area in the center of campus, “the Quad” has resembled an abandoned soccer field in recent years, but no longer. It is now a welcoming outdoor sanctuary envisioned three years ago after months of study and discussion with Terra Design Group of San Antonio.

Representatives of faculty, staff, students, alumni and townspeople all contributed suggestions for improving the campus ambience. High on the list was pedestrian circulation and Dr. David Smith, dean of the Cailloux School of Professional Studies, contributed concepts he derived from studying students’ walking patterns in the area. The group also suggested landscaping and lighting that could provide a sense of unity that might become the “Schreiner style” motif throughout the campus, completed one zone at a time.

The project needed, however, to honor a long-standing tradition from the Schreiner Institute days. When Schreiner was a military school, rule-breakers could work off their demerits by marching the three-acre “Bull Ring.” Hardly a former student returns to campus without mentioning the Bull Ring, and school officials did not want the legend to be forgotten even if the dusty grounds could become a shady park.

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and

places to pray in, where nature may heal and cheer and give

strength to body and soul.”

— John Muir


Summerlin is pleased with the results.

“A part of the campus rich in history is now rich aesthetically and functionally as a place of easy transit and natural gathering locations,” he said.

Local contractor Zack Derese of Kerrville Landscaping and project manager Alonzo Navarro worked on the design all spring and started construction the minute students left for summer. Beauty, efficiency and conservation were foremost priorities. With a little fear, they accepted the mandate that the entire project—from subsurface drip irrigation to plantings to lighting—be completed by August 1, no easy feat.

The Donna and Royce Faulkner Plaza at the Quad includes wide, meandering sidewalks of stamped and stained concrete, flagstone patios, brick and rock seating walls, pergolas, LED lighting, natural pathways with boulder seating, drip irrigation, shrub

beds and trees. Faulkner Plaza also provides outdoor Internet access, a must in public areas today.

A modern dormitory near the campus entry bears the Faulkner name, but for years the Austin couple has assisted with essential needs less visible, as well—from scholarships and gifts for general operations to a variety of deferred maintenance and beautification projects throughout the campus.

As visitors amble through the grounds, they will find a limestone ledge honoring the Faulkner family’s generous commitment and a bronze plaque telling the legend of the Bull Ring. The central pergola includes a paving stone honoring a gift from the Student Senate, and a large University seal is set in the floor. Nearby, a paving stone names the first 12 men who graduated from Schreiner in 1926…some of whom, no doubt, learned patience and perspective walking the Bull Ring. n

75,000? Really?Yes, that’s how many student meals Chartwells will dish out in one semester. That takes care of 980 boarding students. Add in faculty, staff, visitors and snacksters, and the number grows even larger.

Chartwells, a North Carolina-based company, is Schreiner’s new food service provider. The

changes they have made include both abundant food options and a modernized cafeteria. Diners are enjoying expanded hours and a wide variety of meal and snack options. The dining hall is now an “all-you-care-to-eat” facility with a rainbow of options, including:

• Baker’s Crust, with homemade baked goods

• Eat.Learn.Live., for sautéed favorites

• The Kitchen, serving all comfort foods and grill selections

• My Pantry, a self-service breakfast area

• Fresh Market, a salad bar featuring fresh produce and favorite toppings

• Hearthstone Ovens, offering homemade pizzas and calzones

Serving 228 schools in the country, Chartwells has contracts with several Texas colleges. Martino Ortega, formerly with Sodexo, remains as executive chef, and Becky Tolle is director of dining services.

Chartwells focuses on nutrition, healthy cuisine and helping students learn what food choices will help them perform their best. Chartwells uses only zero trans-fat oils and cage-free eggs, as well as hormone-free dairy and antibiotic-free pork and chicken.

Understanding the communication preferences of today’s college students, Chartwells maintains an Internet presence to provide nutritional planning and assessment tools that each person can customize for his/her body weight, activity level and food preferences. Students and employees can use their mobile devices to check out the daily menu, and visitors can pay online with credit cards. n

One hopes that disaster will never strike Schreiner University, but Campus

Security is ready to respond if such misfortune occurs. From natural disasters to terrorist threats, college campuses today must know how to respond and do so quickly.

According to director of security Danny Flores, the campus is set up to respond immediately—from activating a campus lock-down to providing tornado shelters. Handicap evacuation plans include designated exit routes in multi-story buildings, and an all-campus electronic alert system automatically activates on every university-owned computer. Also, a live audio system is ready to provide specific instructions if the community is under threat.

“We have trained an emergency response team and have preparedness plans with the Kerrville Police

Department and the Department of Homeland Security,” said security supervisor Michael Friederich. “All members of our Command Center and Emergency Response Teams have completed FEMA (Federal Emergency Response Team) classes, as well.”

Flores hopes the best defense is a good offense and no disaster of any kind will hurt Schreiner. “But we are prepared. We have a rapid response trailer ready to go at all times,” adds Flores. “We also have a behavioral assessment team and protocol to identify possible threatening behavior in the rare event that a student, staff person or visitor manifests dangerous behavior. But let’s hope that never ever happens.” n

Mark Tuschak, vice president for advancement and public affairs, is thrilled that Schreiner’s friends in Tulsa said “yes.” He’s also aware that turning a positive

response into a completed building still requires a lot of work and a lot of generous support from Schreiner’s friends, old and new.

“The J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation of Tulsa, OK, has extended a million-dollar challenge grant for the construction portion if and only if Schreiner’s other friends contribute substantial new money,” Tuschak explains. “We are excited to have received the challenge in July and are eager to beat Mabee’s one year deadline to match their gift with new contributions of $2.7 million—a challenging task.”

Tuschak happily announces that positive word from Mabee immediately generated one gift of $1 million, leaving $1.7 yet to raise for construction. Mabee Foundation officers are prepared to mail their million-dollar check as soon as they receive notice that the remaining funds have been raised, but they do not permit any construction to begin in the interim. When the challenge is met, SU will have $7.3 million for construction and be close to readiness to turn the first spade. Endowment and non-construction line items bring the project total to $11,063,405.

To complement the Mountaineer Fitness Center that opened in 2009, this 35,000 square foot Athletic & Event Center will make a substantial impact both for student athletes and campus life. Equally important, the new facility will enable Schreiner to have full standing in the prestigious athletic conference SU has just entered.

According to Ron Macosko, athletic director, many consider the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference the premier NCAA Division III conference in the West. It includes Trinity, Southwestern, Austin College, University of Dallas, Texas Lutheran, Colorado College and Centenary.

“SCAC officials have said that SU will not be considered for conference basketball tournaments until facilities are seriously upgraded,” Macosko said.

In addition, Edington Center, the existing gym, was built 35 years ago for a campus community of less than half Schreiner’s current size. Providing practice space for more than 300 athletes at any given time places an enormous strain on the existing space. Practice schedules often start at 6 a.m. for team sports, and intramural practices typically take place from 9 to 11 p.m. to accommodate everyone.

Though team sports are seasonal, athletes train continuously. Softball, baseball and soccer teams often practice inside in early spring and late fall when the weather no longer permits outdoor practice. n

Colby Adolph

A May ’13 grad, Colby Adolph moved to Indiana last summer and started her next chapter toward pursuing an

ambitious career in the sciences. Backed by full financial support from Purdue University, Colby worked, for the summer, in an analytical/organic chemistry lab and will continue teaching undergrads throughout her own academic trek.

Her goal? To earn a doctorate in chemistry and secure a position as a synthetic organic chemist in a major company such as Pfizer or Eli Lilly.

While she is realistic about the challenges that await her, setting high goals is nothing new for Colby. She arrived at SU in 2009 determined to be the first in her family to graduate from college. Not only did she earn her B.S. in Biochemistry, Colby won the coveted Elmore Whitehurst Award for Excellence in Learning. She was also a star athlete all four years, gave campus tours in Spanish and English, and worked as an intern in the pharmacy of the Kerrville State Hospital.

At Purdue, she will balance study, research and teaching until she is ready to declare a specialty for her doctoral thesis. In four or five years, Colby will defend her dissertation, presenting it “to a group of professors who will decide whether my work is worthy of a degree.”

The Houston native is grateful for the experiences that have brought her this far.

“The opportunity I have to pursue a Ph.D. in chemistry is a dream come true. I greatly appreciate my Schreiner academic advisor, Dr. Kiley Miller, and an amazing Schreiner professor, Dr. Danette Vines, for pushing me to look into graduate studies and to reach for the stars with my goals. Their coupled efforts and Schreiner’s four years of support have always encouraged me to go beyond what’s expected and never to limit myself. In Kerrville, I discovered a deep love of learning. Everyone—from teachers in all disciplines to coaches to deans—inspired me during my time at Schreiner.

“And—while my major was in the sciences—what I learned and experienced at SU went well beyond the periodic table.” n

My father once told me that a goal without a plan is a wish,” said Manny Longoria

as he discusses his past, present and future. The scholar athlete came to Schreiner to play basketball and to pursue a rigorous academic plan that eventually will lead to his career dream of becoming a corporate accountant. Manny won the San Antonio CPA Chapter’s Accounting Excellence Award last May and started his MBA at UT El Paso this fall. He will then take the CPA exam.

Longoria credits Schreiner with helping him move out of his comfort zone.

“One thing that I never actually thought I’d learn was the ability to interact and communicate easily with people. I did more of that at SU than I have my whole life. Schreiner is definitely unlike any other school.”

Retired accounting professor Peter Huey “helped me remember that complexity is part of life. At times it was very difficult to balance school and basketball, especially when our team competed on the road. Mr. Huey was always telling us not to get stressed and overwhelmed—just to embrace our challenges and thank God for them. So that is what I tried to do”

scholar athletes claim high goals“

When I started looking at prospective colleges, I was bombarded by options. I knew I wanted to play volleyball, and my high school

coach suggested Schreiner University. When my parents and I made the campus tour, I knew that this was the school for me. Because I came from a small high school, I really liked the idea of the small class sizes, and the fact that I might actually get to know my classmates and professors.

“But now, as I think about graduation, I realize that I have received so much more than that. Everyone offers the best experience possible—from the teachers, the financial aid office, the administration, other students. And at how many schools can you pass by the President of the university and have him not only know who you are, but also have a nice conversation? This is a very special place, and I am so grateful that I have had the chance to experience it.”

Before she graduates in 2014, Jamie is completing an internship experience in out-patient therapy at Guadalupe Regional Hospital in Seguin. She hopes to be accepted into physical therapy school right after graduation. n

Looking back at his Schreiner chapter, Manny says he always held himself accountable for his performance in the classroom and on the court. He believes he inherited the attributes necessary for success: “hard work, optimism, resiliency and the ability to pay attention to details.” n


Chief architect of Schreiner’s academic program, Dr. Charlie

McCormick may not sleep much. He’s too excited—excited about the faculty growing stronger and more creative every year and excited about the intellectual climate on campus growing richer, deeper, more far-reaching.

McCormick, vice president for academic affairs and provost,

and his deans have a vision that cannot wait for “someday.” Deans Dr. David Smith (pictured to the left of Dr. McCormick), Dr. Diana Comuzzie (center) and Dr. William Woods (far right) share McCormick’s position that higher education is in a pivotal time. (Many in our nation assert, in fact, that traditional higher educational delivery systems are ineffective and cannot justify their cost anymore.)

“If higher education is facing a pivotal time then we must pivot,” McCormick said. “We must plant one foot in the values that have made Schreiner a cherished place for 90 years. At the same time, we must use the other foot to step out boldly into an amazing universe of teaching and learning opportunities.”

McCormick’s face lights up when he describes all of the ways Schreiner can create learning

Building a premier place of learning Takes Teamwork

Not a word one normally uses every day, provost finds its home in academic settings. At Columbia University, the provost was chief academic officer as early as 1811 (30 years before Texas even had a college). At Schreiner, Charlie McCormick not only supervises the work of the three academic deans, but also the dean of students, registrar, campus minister, institutional research officer and the associate vice president for academic affairs and student success. From residence life to the library to study abroad, McCormick is discerning, encouraging, assessing.

environments that equip graduates to fulfill Schreiner’s mission.

Preparing students today moves far beyond the traditional classroom setting, where an expert professes in a lecture format. In fact, the role of the professoriate undergoes almost daily change, responding to a world that recreates itself with lightning speed. Schreiner’s students can already take Mandarin Chinese, for example, through a distance learning connection with Concordia College in Austin. They can share a science or humanities research project with mentors across the globe and engage in case studies about business ethics with their counterparts at other universities. And—thanks to technology—students can do these things in real time, instantly.

A liberal arts college teacher today, suggests McCormick, is more like a life coach—starting a relationship with students from the summer before they arrive on campus and maintaining an encouraging and assisting role even

as graduates enter the job market or enroll in graduate school.

“Our faculty is learning to see itself as a group of enthusiastic mentors who walk alongside their students in a variety of learning settings, who help them discern and own their futures, who help them connect and synthesize otherwise disparate skills, knowledge, and dispositions, and who are totally committed to their success,” McCormick said.

Using Educational PsychologyCreating environments for exciting and abundant learning means understanding how the current generation of young people learns. Today’s students are technologically savvy long before they arrive on campus but they may not have given much thought to how they want to invest themselves in purposeful work and life beyond work. They are whizzes on computers and smart phones but may bring limited experience

working with people from differing backgrounds and world views.

Having faculty advisors who help students assess where their talents intersect the world’s needs gives direction to their studies from the first day students begin their freshmen coursework. They learn they are building a college resumé that reflects more than mastering course content. By living in community, Schreiner students are learning to listen, share, articulate, reflect, take risks and exercise initiative. McCormick said it is a pleasure to talk with graduating seniors who can articulate how they have experienced Schreiner’s motto: “Learning by Heart.”

In addition, all who work at Schreiner are a part of the teaching-learning team, said McCormick. Personnel in student services and career counseling share the vision of helping students understand themselves, their community and the needs of the larger world.

Mission Statement:Schreiner University, a liberal arts institution affiliated by choice and covenant with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), is committed to educating students holistically. Primarily undergraduate, the university offers a personalized, integrated education that prepares its students for meaningful work and purposeful lives in a changing global society.

“By living in community, Schreiner students are learning to listen, share, articulate,

reflect, take risks and exercise initiative.”— Dr. Charlie McCormick

See pg. 17


Schreiner is one of 33 universities in the nation to win a prestigious Lilly Endowment grant to participate in NetVUE, the

Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education. The purpose of NetVUE is to foster the intellectual and theological exploration of vocation in campus communities. In other words, NetVUE assists in helping students sharpen their zeal to make a difference in the world when they graduate. Six universities in Texas are participating, including Baylor and Trinity.

According to The Rev. Gini Norris-Lane, campus minister, Schreiner is using the grant funds to expand vocational exploration

Pursuing Meaningful Lives and Purposeful Work

I like leading our institutional effectiveness practices,” said Dr. Kyle Busing. While the assistant

professor of exercise science and sport management came to SU to use his love of teaching, Busing now splits his time between helping students and helping his colleagues throughout the campus.

“Like other good schools, Schreiner wants to have consistent methods for assessing our effectiveness throughout the campus—in classrooms and offices, in laboratories and dormitories,” said Busing.

“Our goal is to make sure Schreiner is providing the services we believe we are providing.”

“Assessing institutional effectiveness is logical and I like logic,” he said. “It’s fun to help people see how consistent self-evaluation and reflection can help them improve in their own jobs and help Schreiner improve every year, too,” Busing said.

The Colorado native has extra reason to be happy this fall. After completing her doctorate, his wife, Dr. Carrie West, has joined SU as a full-time faculty member in communications studies. n

opportunities across disciplines and programs. A team of 36 faculty members, staff and students are creating a campus-wide infrastructure for students from diverse religious traditions, academic disciplines and interests to engage deliberately the topics of meaningful work and purposeful lives in a changing global society.

Norris-Lane (right) and Judy Ferguson (left), director of the Christian Vocations Internship Program, said they hope the NetVue conferences and idea exchanges among colleges rooted in the liberal arts will help Schreiner’s learning community create an atmosphere where graduates have a sense of calling and are eager to sustain lives of service. n

New Initiatives Beckon What new academic ventures does McCormick see on the horizon? Responding to the nation’s needs, Schreiner is considering more health-related degrees (see page 21). Frequently discussed is a completion program for registered nurses to earn Bachelor of Science degrees. It is even possible that a Master of Arts in public health might develop.

After completing a pilot research project with senior citizen volunteers, faculty from exercise science and nursing are exploring gerontology as a fertile opportunity for study and research. Likewise, the liberal arts and professional studies faculty are considering a degree in arts management. And, with so many Texas music organizations and festivals nearby, a master of fine arts degree in song writing may develop in the future.

Global Awareness Academic leaders also are taking seriously Schreiner’s commitment to provide students with global awareness. Summer study abroad opportunities have long been a Schreiner staple. For instance, a group of students and faculty

traveled to Florence, Italy—studying courses from Renaissance Art to The European Union. Likewise, nursing director Dr. Lena Rippstein led a service learning class to Costa Rica last summer.

Under exploration are formal agreements for exchange campuses where students spend a semester or a year immersing themselves culturally and intellectually. Hannam University, a highly-ranked Presbyterian college in Daejeon, South Korea, may be the first exchange site, and the busy academic leader is working on others, as well.

Schreiner is still one of the nation’s youngest baccalaureate colleges, having graduated its first seniors in 1984. At the same time, Schreiner will celebrate its 100th birthday in 2023. Does McCormick know what the academic program will look like 10 years from now?

“Not entirely,” he said. “I do know many in our state and nation will recognize the Hill Country as the proud home of a premier place of learning… one that is brave and adventurous enough to change and improve every year and that makes good on its promise to prepare students for meaningful work and purposeful lives in a changing global society.” n

Schreiner’s new Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree has been rigorous in every way since its inception. Knowing

that students would encounter challenging academic and clinical assignments, Dr. Lena Rippstein, director, was hesitant to predict what percentage of those first 23 pioneers would actually make it to the finish line. In many schools, a completion rate of 60 percent is considered respectable.

Well, 100 percent finished, in spite of juggling studies, family responsibilities, and often, part-time jobs. Now the members of the 2013 class are completing the

next steps in the process. That is, each much pass the NCLEX-RN, the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses, before they can apply for a registered nursing position.

As this articles goes to press, approximately 15 of the 23 have passed their tests and have secured their first jobs in their dream profession. Local hospitals in Kerrville and Fredericksburg have recruited at least 10 of the new grads. Other hospitals in Galveston, Bryan and San Antonio also have Schreiner’s new registered nurses. Rippstein said that every grad who applied for a job over the summer has secured one. n

“We nursing students completed many clinical rounds at Peterson Regional, so I felt as if I knew the hospital pretty well. I knew that when I started my career, I would feel more prepared working here than at any other place. The Peterson staff was great with us as students, so I knew it would be a great place to work...and it is!”

Twins Through and Through

Momentum 2013 21

The national Association of Schools of Public health (ASPh) predicts 250,000 more

public health workers will be needed by 2020—just seven years away. This shortage is due in part to the anticipated retirement of 23 percent of the current work force-about 110,000 workers. This means schools of public health will have to train three times the current number of graduates this decade.

The effects of toxic wastes, environmental pollutants and unsafe water are only partially responsible for the acute need. In the United States, at least, unbalanced diets, inadequate exercise and substance abuse also contribute

heavily to the the nation’s health crisis.

Texas only has two public health programs in development, so Schreiner has received strong encouragement to request approval from our accrediting agency, Southern Association for College and Schools. Dr. Ruth Grubesic of SU’s nursing faculty has a doctorate in public health and is working with an interdisciplinary team to create an effective degree.

Schreiner will learn if the program has received accreditation by the end of the fall semester, 2013. When approved, Schreiner will be in the forefront of the public health movement with a degree that complements our existing programs and extends our reach in the field. n

Hannah Ellwanger. This new Schreiner program is a wonderful and important addition to the

Hill Country.”

— Gina Enderlin, R.N. Nurse Educator, Hill Country Memorial Hospital

Sarah Payne ’13, R.N.

“I am fortunate to work at one of the best hospitals in the country doing what I truly love—labor and

delivery— because of the education and experience I gained at Schreiner University. Becoming a nurse

has been a lifelong dream. I am blessed to be in a position to try to enrich the lives of others.”

Schreiner Grows MBA’S? You bet!

“Tony has always possessed great people skills, and now with his work in the Schreiner MBA program, he approaches issues with a greater understanding of the big picture!”

– Mike Allen, President Union State Bank

Tony Parinello, vice president and cashier at Kerrville’s Union State Bank, had considered graduate

school for a long time. When SU was ready to launch its Master of Business Administration degree, Tony was first in line. And—two years and a lot of work later—he is a member of the charter class of MBA grads.

“When Tammy and I had our little girl, Taryn, in 2011, I realized life was only going to get busier. If ever I was going to accomplish this goal, I better start!” said the happy family man. “My wife and my boss, Mike Allen, gave me their full support, knowing that this new commitment would be challenging for all of us.”

Tony appreciated the faculty’s genuine concern and the open atmosphere that existed among his professors and classmates. He enjoyed using his work experience to shed light on his studies and vice versa. He found the classes in accounting, ethics and communications especially helpful.

The banker credits his MBA studies with other lasting benefits, as well.

“I would say the program definitely helped build my confidence. I feel that my decision- making processes have become more dynamic and well-rounded. All of us in the class grew in self-awareness and understanding, with more clarity about our own tendencies and habits,” he said. In addition, the new MBA believes he developed lifelong friendships.

Some of Tony’s most important lessons, however, probably came from taking on the obligation rather than from the courses themselves.

“I sure did learn a lot about time management and setting priorities!” he said, thankful the two-year journey is behind him.

Would Tony recommend the program to others?

“It was one of the hardest things I have ever attempted,” Parinello said. “But if others ask me whether they should consider SU’s MBA, I would tell them to go for it! There will always be something to get in the way, but there is no better time than the present!” nMike Allen and Tony Parinello

I looked at several music degree programs in the greater San Antonio area before choosing Schreiner, said

Mark Nugent. “I also did a very detailed cost analysis, and to my surprise SU turned out to be the least expensive for a commuter student like myself—even when I compared Schreiner to state schools in the region.

“My education at Schreiner University is working out well. I appreciate the faculty, who get involved with the community and that means a lot to me. The curriculum is well rounded and I particularly enjoy the one-on-one relationship I have with my instructors. As a result of my involvement here, I have more exposure to the professional music community in the area and see more opportunities to do so in the future. As an older adult, I find the young traditional students to be very engaging and accepting of me as one of their peers.

“After I graduate, I intend to audition for other regional symphonies in Texas and grow my private cello teaching studio. I want to be more active with professional chamber music performances, as well. I have already been asked to join the board of directors of a local music group and I hope to be active in some area amateur music groups as a conductor and artistic director.

“Retirement and an education are what you make them and it’s never too late to be whatever you want to be! You just have to try and pick the right academic setting to make that goal a reality. Schreiner University IS that place for me.”

Mark Nugent plans to graduate with a degree in music in 2014. He was a Chicago-area policeman and in the financial services industry in his “previous” lives. A gifted cellist, Mark is a regular with the Symphony of the Hills and the volunteer leader and coach of the Schreiner String Quartet. n

T e Schreiner Study Club

Schreiner embarked on a new and satisfy-

ing educational adventure last spring when business professor and international businessman Warren Ferguson teamed up with regional development offi-cer Sue Steele to launch the Schreiner Study Club. The

kind folks at Hunt Methodist Church and other good friends in West Kerr County helped with the logistics for two continuing ed courses that took place in the church’s fellowship hall.

What are those guys thinking? Ferguson taught two multi-week courses, the first as a geopolitical update focusing on Mexico, China and the United States. The second series extended international studies with “Understanding a Rapidly Changing Culture.” His courses were so well received that Warren will facilitate another short course beginning next March. “Who Is Most Likely To Rule the World: Global Geopolitics Today and Tomorrow” will begin at Hunt United Methodist Church on Feb. 19.

What is an ideal society? This fall, English professor and liberal arts dean, Dr. William Woods, offered “Utopian and Dystopian Literature and Film.” These morning classes took place at Hunt Methodist, October 1, 8,

15 and 22. Dr. Woods commented that as long as philosophers and poets have put word to paper, they have debated the notion of the truly fair and just community. When do individual rights outweigh the rights of citizens? How will the ideal society be governed? Through classic and modern literature and cinema, the class explored those themes.

As an added treat, “Movie at the Mansion” was offered class participants a showing of Ridley Scott’s masterpiece of a dystopian society on October 10. Woods showed and discussed Bladerunner, and the novel which inspired the film, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? n

West Kerr Campus…sort of!

“We learned a lot in our spring class with Professor Ferguson, and it is fascinating to watch as some of his predictions about international relations have come true since then! Television news just provides a snippet of the story, but our class participated in deep discussions. It really helps round out one’s perspective.

“We were excited to have Dr. Woods. It was a totally different, but fun, dynamic!”

Schreiner ranked 155 out of 925 independent universities in the money magazine’s August issue.

Criteria for assessing America’s private universities included balance sheet health, instructional investments per full-time student, and return on assets.

Schreiner earned a “B,” with a number grade point of 3.3—slightly higher than McMurry University in Abilene and Queens College of Charlotte, N.C. First on the list was…can you guess? Princeton, with Rice weighing in at 12th. (Both received A+ report cards.)

Schreiner ranks in top 200For Financial Fitness Among Independent Colleges

Thanks to our donors, Schreiner enjoyed a banner year in fund-raising in the fiscal year which

finished May 31. Counting current and planned gifts, Schreiner’s friends pledged $15,494,979! Schreiner’s board of trustees and their families led the way with generous support in the first year of the “Fulfilling the Promise” comprehensive campaign.

Gifts for operations—predominantly to support student financial aid—totaled $1,405.011. Largest contributor to this good result was the Hill Country College Fund, providing tuition grants for students in Kerr and contiguous counties.

The largest piece of the fund-raising pie came from planned gift pledges, principally for long-term endowment. These surpassed $10 million, including bequests with a named value and other deferred vehicles—such as insurance policies, charitable trusts and charitable gift annuities. While some of these life income gifts have specified terms, most planned gifts will be realized after a donor’s death. Nevertheless, they give the administration enormous confidence in Schreiner’s future.

Schreiner booked close to 2,000 gifts for all purposes. These included support for the Athletic and Event Center (see page 10), campus landscaping (see pages 4-7), current and endowed program support and technology. These gifts represent a 78 percent increase over the previous year!

We thank every person—faculty and staff, former students, parents, neighbors, trustees, businesses and charitable foundations—for a satisfying year! n

Thanks for a Great Year!

So Much Fun the First Time…Local realtor Harold Crocker is now in his second year as Hill Country College Fund chairman—a very important volunteer assignment. Here, he and community development officer Beth Johnson discuss goal-setting for the 2013-14 effort. With HCCF cabinet leaders Peter Lewis, Brenda Thompson, Mike Graxiola, David Smith and Cindy Becker, the team enthusiastically increased the goal to $600,000 for this year.

Thanks, Harold.

Mary Ellen and Tim Summerlin,Schreiner’s “First Family,” enjoy R&R in their back yard.

You cannot spend any time on the Schreiner campus without sensing the momentum which gives this report its title. It is evident in physical changes, in the presence of new faces among faculty and staff, and in the vitality of a growing group of students. Yes, it is even present in the expectancy one encounters in discussions of new programs or uses for technology.

In all of these expressions of the university’s energy, I see evidence of you, the donors who are so essential to Schreiner.

• In that growing student body, we recognize your generous scholarship support.

• In new or renovated facilities and landscaping improvements, your hand is present.

• In the capacity to deliver German classes to our students and those of other colleges simultaneously, you make yourselves known, as well as in our ability to attract bright new faculty.

To paraphrase the old ballad, “I’ll be seeing you in all… the ways that Schreiner makes progress toward its commitment to being a premier place of learning.” And I will be full of gratitude as well.

All the best,

Tim Summerlin, President

We moved to Kerrville in 1984 and Schreiner captured our attention right away,”

said Clyde Day. “My late wife, Rachel, and I attended the baccalaureate service for Schreiner’s first four-year graduates and I don’t think I have ever missed one year.

“Right now, I am grateful that my granddaughter, Rachel Day, is a Schreiner student. I am awed watching how she is maturing and gaining confidence, thanks to this school’s atmosphere and philosophy.

“We have been members of the Schreiner Oaks Society for decades! Rachel and I have used charitable gift annuities from the Texas Presbyterian Foundation to create a win/win plan. We have received life income and Schreiner and other important organizations have the knowledge that they will receive some assistance from us when we are both gone. Since I am 93, I guess they have learned to be patient.” n

Clyde Day, owner of Clyde’s Clocks in Kerrville, stays busy every day helping people in the Hill

Country maintain their prized clocks. In addition to his planned gift, Day enjoys supporting the nursing program and thinks it is “an excellent

example of the city and the college engaged in a mutually supportive relationship.”

From Schreiner

to a high calling

“After graduating from Schreiner in 2006, I spent two years as a young adult volunteer through the Presbyterian Church (USA). I felt my first call to ministry when I was sent to serve as a hospital chaplain in New Orleans. That sense of calling became even more clear when I worked my second year in a hunger relief organization in Denver. I am now happily beginning my second year at Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond, VA. And expect to earn a master of divinity and a master of Christian Education. My time at Schreiner taught me time management study skills that have been invaluable in grad school. In addition, I was blessed last summer to work at MoRanch Conference Center as a camp chaplain. I hope to become a youth pastor in Texas after I graduate in 2016.”

— Maegan Norman ’06


Connecting to our Alsatian Roots

Schreiner alumnus and trustee Demmie Mayfield, ’50 represented our hill Country learning

community across the ocean last summer…right back to Charles Armand Schreiner’s birthplace. Schreiner’s founder was born in 1838 in Riquewihr, France, the fourth of five children, to Dr. Gustave Adolph and Charlotte (Bippert) Schreiner. Immigrat-ing to San Antonio while still a teenager, Schreiner never returned to his homeland.

Amazing as it is, the city of his birth knows of him and of the little college he dreamed of starting in his new home. When Dr. Mayfield traveled there last summer, he met André Hugel, director of the Riquewihr Historical Society, and Hugel knew that a small college in Texas bore the name of their Alsatian ancestor. He knew exactly where the Schreiner family had lived in their village, in fact. Hugel also reported that his own son had even visited the campus when he toured America a few years ago.

As the two men chatted, Dr. Mayfield stumbled upon another intriguing fact. Hugel himself was 15 years old when he witnessed this terrifying event. During World War II, the U.S. Army successfully repelled a vicious German invasion just before the

war ended in December, 1944. Who were those brave soldiers? None other than the Second Battalion, 141st Infantry Regiment—called the 36th Texas Military Division.

So this is what our own investigative reporter now wants to know. Were there any “Schreiner boys” in the Texas Division? One place to begin looking is in Schreiner’s new war memorial in The Commons. But there might be others who did not lose their lives and returned to Texas to live as the greatest generation. Who might know them?

Mayfield is hoping some history buffs at Schreiner will find the answers. n

Schreiner Appreciates Tribute Gifts

Schreiner appreciates gifts made as tributes or as memorial recognition. In most instances, these

gifts support general scholarships—always Schreiner’s greatest need. However, we also welcome gifts for other purposes: an academic or co-curricular program, the library, campus ministry, buildings and grounds, general endowment, etc.

The families of those being remembered receive a tasteful card that informs them of the gift and its purpose. Donation amounts are not disclosed. n

If you would like more information about memorial or tribute giving, please call 830-792-7430.

Or visit us online at www.schreiner.edu/giving

“I’m proud to be part of the Schreiner family,” said Kerrville resident Chip Chase. As a tribute to his father, Chip—along with his wife, Jenny, made a generous gift last fall to create the Dale O. Chase Endowed Scholarship.

Pictured are the honoree, Dale Chase (front), President Tim Summerlin and Chip and Jenny Chase.

The King and I

A couple of Schreiner’s scientists and their families certainly contributed to the dramatic

arts life of the hill Country last summer. Staged at the Kathleen C. Cailloux City Center for the Performing Arts, “The King and I” entertained enthusiastic audiences and earned high praise. Singing and dancing, biology assistant professor Dr. Chris Distel in the title role, but he was not the only Schreiner person who made the show a hit.

Distel’s wife, Sarah, coached the large cadre of children and all three of their kids took part. Distel’s colleague, Dr. Kiley Miller, chemistry associate

professor, and his entire family also brought their enthusiasm and gifts to the cast. Schreiner’s director of choral music, Michael Kahl, served as music director and recruited several adjunct faculty to fill the orchestra. n

Pictured are: Front row, from left: Michael Kahl, Kiley Miller, Dylan Miller, Tish Miller, Sarah Distel, Sophie Distel, Heather Cunningham, Jeff Cunningham, George Eychner. Back Row, Left to Right: Jim Abiettello, Bonnie Rocky, Beth Cunningham, Lucy Cunningham, Nora Distel, Chris Distel, Phoenix Miller, Bhodey Miller, Theo Distel, Brad Lee, Pat Lee and Jessica Lee.

Jewelry designer Jill Reno Smetek thought she would earn her M.B.A. and then become an attorney. However, during college Jill learned the

importance of following one’s passion, and she became an artist instead… an artist with a solid business background.

Today Smetek travels the globe in pursuit of interesting gemstones for her works of art and celebrities and people around the world wear her custom jewelry.

“At Schreiner I learned the importance of giving back,” she said. “Now 10 percent of all revenues that the Jill Reno Collection makes goes directly to feeding the poor and taking care of orphans,” said Smetek—granddaughter of the famed Western sculptor, Jim Reno.

The business administration major from Kerrville also learned invaluable marketing and business skills and to think outside the box. “I cannot tell you how many times I relied on my Schreiner education to make wise business decisions,” said the young entrepreneur. n

Back Cover: The first time new Schreiner Mountaineers are invited to leave their mark on Schreiner it’s symbolic. During Mountaineer Days, they have their “paws” painted and make a print. However, as they progress academically, spiritually and physically, that invitation takes on deeper meaning as they consider how they will leave their alma mater better than they found it.
