Dear Friends,

We are nearing the end of another successful se-mester in Pippa Passes. By the time you receive this publication, our campus will be trimmed with decorations for the upcoming holidays and our stu-dents will be enjoying a welcomed vacation from their attentive studies. Even though we are taking a break from classes, the campus is still active with the building of our new campus center which is moving along smoothly.

I enjoyed visiting with many of you at our recent Appalachia Day Homecoming celebration on Octo-ber 14th. During this time, we not only had a unique opportunity to celebrate our Appalachian heritage,

but also to reflect on our history. This year’s homecoming was especially busy as we held a special centennial ceremony in recognition of the 100th year since Mrs. Lloyd began her work with the Caney Creek Community Center. The work Mrs. Lloyd began in 1917 is an integral part of the foundation of Alice Lloyd College. More information about this exciting event can be read on page 5.

The mission of Mrs. Lloyd has been notably recognized, as Alice Lloyd College has once again received impressive national rankings in the 2018 U.S. News and World Report. This year, we were blessed to be named #1 in three categories, including #1 in the Nation for selectivity, with our acceptance rate of four percent. One page 2, you can see how we compared to other colleges and universities across the nation in various categories.

Throughout Pippa’s Song, we enjoy highlighting the accomplishments of differ-ent members of our ALC community. We honored Mrs. Kim Jones and Dr. Clyde Thornsberry during our annual Alumna and Alumnus of the Year Award Banquet. Both Kim and Clyde have dedicated their lives to serving the greater world around them (read more on page 10).

As we close the door on our one-hundredth year along the banks of Caney Creek, we are blessed to reflect on the countless individuals who have selflessly given in support of our mission to educate and ready servant leaders for the Appalachian region. We are continually grateful for your investment in the lives of hard-working young people. Looking into the new year, by the grace of God and with the help of our wonderful friends, we will strive to continue this miracle on Caney Creek for the next 100 years.

I pray that you and yours have a Merry Christmas and that God richly blesses you throughout the New Year.

Sincerely,

Joe A. Stepp

Board of TrusteesWelcomes TwoNew Members

The College has gladly inducted two new members to its board of trustees. Currently, a total of 21 trustees are serving the interest of the institution.

• Dr. Charles Taylor Marshall, ‘99 of Hazard, KY

• Dr. David Wendell Martin, ‘91 of Prestonsburg, KY

Alice Lloyd College Hosts Ms. Jean R. HaleOn Tuesday, October 3rd, Alice Lloyd College was privileged to host Ms. Jean R. Hale of Pikeville, KY.

Ms. Hale is chairman, president, and CEO of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. She has served Community Trust for al-most 50 years and has participated in the growth of the corpo-ration from $18 million to over $4 billion in assets.

Ms. Hale spent the day at Alice Lloyd College visiting with students and sharing her experiences with both students and faculty. A special luncheon was hosted, where students had the opportunity to sit down with Ms. Hale and participate in a personal dialogue. The students, who were familiar with Ms. Hale’s professional resume, enjoyed hearing about her more personal stories in addition to her successes.

Student TaLaura Mathis had the opportunity to attend the luncheon with Ms. Hale and to hear her speak at convocation. Afterwards, she said, “I was so intrigued by Ms. Hale and the powerful, intelligent woman that she is. Her life shows the outcome of hard work and determination. She is a true ex-emplar that women can be strong and powerful in the work force. Being a woman myself, her words and stories encour-aged me that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to.”

Growing up as a coal miner’s daughter and the youngest of four children, Ms. Hale saw the value of education from a young age. Not only did she recognize the importance of ed-ucation, she also saw the worth of hard work. She says, “I was an over-achiever, before anyone thought of the word.” At 16, after an interview with a local banker for a school project, she decided that banking would be her career and stuck to her guns.

In 1978, Ms. Hale became the first female to hold the title of Assistant Vice President at Community Trust Bank, Inc. In 1982, she became the first female to hold to the title of Senior Vice President. In 1991, she became the first female to

hold the title of Executive Vice President. In 1993, Ms. Jean Hale became the first female to hold the title of President and CEO of Community Trust Bank, Inc. She went on to become President and CEO of Community Trust Bancorp in 1999 and added the position of Chairman of the Board to her resume in 2005.

In addition to her accomplishments within the organization, Ms. Hale has been honored by American Banker magazine as one of the nation’s “25 Most Powerful Women in Banking”.

The Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Executives Advocate of the Year, an Outstanding Alumna at Pikeville High School & Pikeville College, the Lane Report–Outstanding Business Woman, and Pike County Chamber of Commerce Outstand-ing Business Woman.

Although she has seen much success in her career, has a stellar resume, and is nationally recognized, Ms. Hale says that she is most proud of her career in service to others. Her two greatest passions are education and economic development. For that reason, she has served on numerous local, state, and national boards to further the development of the Appalachian region. Ms. Hale is a testament to the life of service that is instilled in students at Alice Lloyd College, and she left our students with one final piece of advice, “Pay it forward!”

ALC News – 3 – 2017 Fall

Kaela Shaw is not one to let the hard times in life keep her down. Throughout Kaela’s life she has bounced back from countless trials as a stronger woman. The trials that Kaela has overcome have given her a desire to help others who are struggling with similar circumstances. Alice Lloyd College has given Kaela the opportunity to make a difference in others’ lives-an opportunity that she will never forget.

Kaela is from Bidwell, Ohio, and she is a junior at Alice Lloyd College where she is pursuing a major in Kinesiology and a mi-nor in Business Administration. She chose her major because of an experience she had in high school. Kaela graduated at the top ten percent of her class from River Valley High School in 2015. She participated in the National Honor Society, Beta Club, and numerous sports as well as being her Senior class secretary. Kaela’s fast-paced and active life was slowed down considerably when she found out that her right knee had been severely damaged. For over one year, the doctors could not determine the cause of Kaela’s knee pain. As a result, she walked around with pain equivalent to an ACL tear. Finally, the doctors discovered that her muscles had stripped themselves and calloused behind her knee. Kaela described this time by saying, “It was really scary because we didn’t know if I would be able to walk again.”

In order to help her strengthen her knee, Kaela had to take extensive physical therapy. She did not know what to expect at her first appointment, but her physical therapist, Mike Hemphill, helped her to become more comfortable with ther-apy. Even though Kaela was adjusting to therapy, she still had a difficult time strengthening her knee. After several appoint-ments, her physical therapist would release her to play sports again, but she would relapse and have to go back to therapy. The constant up and down of her health took a toll on Kaela’s mental stability and she became depressed. However, the per-sonal connection that Kaela made with her physical therapist made a huge difference in her life. Kaela said, “My therapists gave me hope when I didn’t believe it.” Mike was the one that Kaela really opened up to about her problems. He took her pain and depression and made it into a challenge that could be beaten.

Even though Kaela will have to take more physical therapy in the future, the impact that Mike had on her life has inspired her to follow in his footsteps. “I want to be able to give chil-dren that hope of, ‘yeah, life has kind of thrown you a curve ball, but this is not your last stop. You are going to be able to do the things you’ve done and so much more,’” Kaela said as she expressed her plans for the future. After Kaela graduates, she hopes to attend graduate school at Ohio State University and then she plans to come back to Kentucky to practice her profession. Kaela’s ultimate goal, though, is to work at Shri-ner’s Hospital specifically with burn patients as well as kids recovering from surgery.

At ALC, all full-time students are required to participate in the Work Study Program. Kaela fulfills this requirement by serv-ing as the Administrative Assistant to the Voices of Appalachia (VoA). She believes that her work study position is preparing her for a future career because she is learning how to track

records, personally communicate with others, make appointments, and so much more. The warm and personal atmosphere that Kaela has in her work study office is one that she hopes to transfer over to her career. The dedication that Kaela has toward her work study does not go

unnoticed; as an example, last spring Kaela was awarded the Student Worker of the Year Award in the VoA office. In addi-tion to Kaela’s work study, she participates in other organiza-tions on campus such as VoA, Allied Health Club, the Student Rural Health Association, and the ALC cheer squad.

The opportunity that Kaela has been given at ALC has allowed her to make connections and have an impact in the commu-nity. Kaela said of her experience at ALC, “There are so many possible paths available because of the opportunity that has been provided to me. The donors are the main part.” Kaela has been able to overcome struggles with the help of others, but she is now going to be able to make a difference in others’ lives because of the opportunity that has been given to her at ALC. Every year ALC enables students like Kaela to follow their servant hearts and make a difference.

ALC News – 5 – 2017 Fall

On October 14th, the ALC community gathered for Alice Lloyd College’s Appalachia Day Homecoming. In addition to the celebration of ALC’s mountain heritage, Appalachia Day also honored the 100th anniversary of the Caney Creek Community Center. Along with the traditional music, crafts, food, and alumni games that characterize Appalachia Day, a special program for the Centennial was held at one o’clock in the Campbell Arts Center. Those who attended enjoyed listening to several speakers as well as watching a Kentucky Humanities Council Chautauqua performance.

The program opened with a prayer by the Executive Vice President Jim Stepp along with a thank you to ALC’s numerous donors that generously support Alice Lloyd College. He was followed by President Joe Stepp, who made several remarks regarding the historical journey of ALC and The Center, including the future of both. When talking about Alice Lloyd’s achievements, the President recalled that her goal was to prepare her students for a lifetime of service. That goal has been a part of ALC’s mission for nearly one hundred years. As he talked about the mission, President Stepp stated to the audience, “My plea to you is let’s keep God’s miracle alive.” After the President’s welcome, the Voices of Appalachia (VOA), joined by a number of VOA alumni, performed the song “Brightest and Best.”

Focusing on the early days of The Center, Dr. Stephen Wilson, Professor of History, followed the choir’s performance and spoke about his upcoming book. Student Lindsay Blanken assisted Dr. Wilson in telling the audience the main reasons Alice Lloyd journeyed to Kentucky, such as her ailing health and her dream of making the area into an ideal community. Interestingly, Mrs. Lloyd’s plan for a college did not arise until the flu pandemic of the 1920s, which greatly affected the lives of many on Caney Creek. During this time, she realized the need for doctors in the region and began to form a college, which was first known as the Caney Junior College.

The audience was honored by the presence of Lawrence Baldridge, Mike Sloane, and Pauline Triplett, graduates of Caney Junior College in the 1950s. Each alumni shared their memories of Alice Lloyd and her impact on the ALC community. During Lawrence Baldridge’s remarks, he reflected on several comical stories about his time attending the Caney Junior College, but he also

stated, “One of the greatest things in my life was that I came to Caney Junior College.” Mike Sloane spoke of how important The Center was to him and his family, specifically referencing his father’s role as one of Mrs. Lloyd’s and Dr. June Buchanan’s first Crusaders. Pauline Triplett mentioned that at the time she did not appreciate what she was learning on Caney, but she has discovered that the lessons she was taught, such as the Purpose Road Philosophy, have become not only teachings, but her life.

After the alumni remarks, Jacqueline Hamilton gave a moving portrayal of the life of Alice Lloyd in a Kentucky Chautauqua performance entitled, “Stay on, Stranger.” The one-act performance gave a depiction of Mrs. Lloyd’s struggle to keep the Community Center and College financially stable and also her passion to prove that,

“The leaders are here.” When asked after her performance regarding how she felt about her role as Mrs. Lloyd, Jaqueline Hamilton stated, “I find it a great honor to play her. I believe her story is one of the greatest stories in the state of Kentucky.” A reception was held in Cushing Hall following the program.

In 1917, Alice Spencer Geddes Lloyd traveled to an unknown community in the hills of Eastern Kentucky where she soon started what would grow into present day Alice Lloyd College. The centennial of the Caney Creek Community Center serves as a celebration of the countless opportunities that have been provided for future leaders of Appalachia as a result of Mrs. Lloyd’s tireless dedication. With the continuous support of the ALC community, Mrs. Lloyd’s mission to educate mountain people will remain for many years to come.

“My plea to you is let’s keep God’s miracle alive.”

Kimberly Slone Jones, 2017 Alumna of the Year, is a resident of Wayland, Kentucky. Kim enrolled in Knott County Central High School where she graduated third in her class. The death of her father in 1985 was an emotional experience for Kim and ultimately motivated her to enroll in ALC. In 1989, Kim graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration,

then went straight into an accounting position with Thack-er-Grigsby Telephone Company. She has been an employee there for twenty-eight years, and is currently the account-ing director. As a result of the hard work she put into the company, Kim was selected to serve as the president of the Kentucky RUS Accounting and Data Processing Association. In addition to her accounting experience, Kim served as the former director of the James Still Learning Center for Dyslexic Children, where she continues to hold a seat as a member of the learning center’s IDEA advisory board. Even though she is a member of various organizations, Kim continues to find time to serve Alice Lloyd College. She served the Alice Lloyd College Alumni Association as a member of the Board of Directors, and held officer positions on the board including president. Additionally, Kim contributed to fundraising efforts for the College, encouraging the establishment of the Robert C. Thacker Endowed Scholarship.

Upon accepting the award, Kim gave thanks to her husband for supporting her through the challenges of being a non-tra-ditional college student. In her final reflection, Kim thanked the institution for giving her purpose, guidance, and shaping her into the person that she is today.

2017 Alumna and Alumnus of the YearBy Shawnna Hunt

Alice Lloyd College held its twenty-first annual Alumna and Alumnus of the Year Banquet on September 15th, 2017. The celebration is held in honor of two individuals whose service and dedication exemplify the core values of Alice Lloyd College. Family and friends came together to celebrate the lives and successes of the recipients, Mrs. Kimberly Slone Jones (Class of 1989) and Dr. Clyde Thornsberry (Class of 1947).

Dr. Clyde Thornsberry, 2017 Alumnus of the Year, is a resident of Macon, Georgia, orig-inally from Pippa Passes, Ken-tucky. Clyde attended Knott Co. High School and upon gradu-ation enrolled in Caney Junior College. He was drafted into the U.S. Army where he served with the 8th Army as a headquarters administrator, receiving a Com-

mendation Ribbon with Medal Pendant for his service. After his time in the Army, Clyde continued his studies at the Uni-versity of Kentucky, earning his Bachelor of Science and his Ph.D. in microbiology. After graduating from UK, Thornsberry began working at the Center for Disease Control (CDC) where he developed a laboratory focused on developing methods for studying antimicrobial agents in relation to therapy of infec-tious disease and the development of resistance to these agents by microorganisms. His lab rapidly gained an international reputation for excellence and was among the first to study MRSA.

He has served as a member of the following organizations: New York Academy of Sciences, American Society for Micro-biology, and the Infectious Disease Society of America to name only a few. As a result of his dedication, Clyde has had arti-cles published in recognizable medical and scientific journals and has received many awards, the most prestigious being the Public Health Service Outstanding Laboratory Award and the Public Health Service Superior Service Award.

He conveyed his thanks to ALC for the rigorous education-al training its curriculum provided, thus equipping him with the necessary preparations for his graduate studies. In closing, Dr. Thornsberry remarks that, despite receiving many awards, he cherishes receiving the Alice Lloyd College Alumnus of the Year Award to be among his greatest accomplishments.

“You will never die; you will always be a part of Alice Lloyd College and Alice Lloyd

College will always be a part of you.”- Dr. June Buchanan

The Alice Lloyd College Cross Country team traveled to Jackson, Mississippi, to participate in the NCCAA Di-vision II National Cross Country Championship. Over the course of three days, the student-athletes participat-ed in a community service project, attended the annual NCCAA Cross Country banquet, and competed at the National level. This year’s community service project fo-cused on cleaning up the grounds of a non-profit orga-nization local to Jackson, Mississippi. The team cleaned windows at the building and removed fallen leaves from the parking lot. Even though the tasks were small they were beneficial, Junior Brittney Buttrey said, “It felt nice to do something for a nonprofit organization.”

It was a record-breaking race day for both teams at the NCCAA National Championship Meet. The Lady Eagles team finished 3rd, the best finish of any women’s team at nationals in Alice Lloyd College program history. All six ladies finished with their best times of the year. Kacey Troutt led the ladies with a time of 20:50 for a 7th place finish overall, which is a new record for any Lady Eagle at the national level. Brittney Buttrey wasn’t far behind, finishing 12th overall. Rachel McCoy and Morgan Ar-thur crossed the line back to back with a 19th and 20th

place finish. Taylor Bullock crossed the line behind them in 23rd place. Cheyenne Boggs was the final Lady Eagle to cross the line at 39th.

The men’s team mirrored the women’s team with a 3rd place overall finish, which is the best finish of any men’s team at nationals in Alice Lloyd College history. Four out of seven ran their best times of the year. Ryan Morris led the way for the men with a time of 29:01, good for a 7th place finish and set a new record for highest men’s indi-vidual finish at nationals. Kevin Keathley crossed the line at 16th with Noah Stevenson close behind him at 18th. Dustin Blair finished at 25th, and John Driskill wasn’t far behind in 27th. Noah Smith and Jake VanHook crossed the line in 31st and 33rd.

The Alice Lloyd Cross Country program is on the rise, and the 2018-19 season looks promising with all eigh-teen runners returning to compete. Coach Brandon Ar-nold plans to bring in a strong recruiting class to help build on the success of the Cross Country Team. The Eagles are taking a short break from running to focus on final exams, but will soon begin their tireless efforts along the road to the 2018 Nationals.
