Although it is a simple phrase, it is a very powerful one and I hear it all of the time from my granddaughter. As many of you know, I have a beautiful little granddaughter, Macie Paige Hunolt, and like all grandmas, I think she is a little princess. In the summer, Macie loves to sit in the big double swing behind Baity Hall. She loves to use the sidewalks on campus as her private superhighways on late summer evenings. But Macie’s greatest fun is cheering on her daddy, a former MVC basketball player, in the annual alumni basketball game and cheering for her uncle, a current MVC wide receiver, on football Saturdays. She wears her Valley t-shirt and cheers “GO VIKINGS!” and all is right with her world. As I watch her joy, I think about how MVC renews itself every year with new freshman coming to campus to replace the graduating seniors. The alumni return to campus at Homecoming to mingle with the new graduates and the freshman and the cycle continues. My husband and I and our family have seen this cycle first hand, and we all have been positively impacted because of Missouri Valley. We have also made many new friends through our alumni work. The impact this institution has had on the lives of thousands of successful people is amazing, and at times, a little overwhelming. When Miss Macie throws her arms in the air and cheers “GO VIKINGS!,” it occurs to me MVC has Vikings of all ages making imprints in the world— young adults finding their careers; established adults in the prime of their lives; and aging adults resting after a lifetime of contribution. This college has had and continues to have a huge, positive impact on the future of our country and our world. So, GO VIKINGS! Make your mark!

NEWS: Year Dear Valley Family, Greetings to all MVC alumni and friends from the Alumni Association Board of Directors! Since the last issue of Viking Views, there has been a great deal of activity on campus. The start of the school year was exciting with the largest freshman class in MVC history. The freshmen were officially welcomed to the College during our annual Convocation activities. Despite heavy rains, MVC hosted an extremely successful Homecoming. Homecoming provided an opportunity to recognize this year’s anniversary classes. We honored two alumni with notable achievements in their chosen fields. They embody what makes MVC a College in which we can take great pride. Each year we recognize an outstanding alumnus and a young alumnus who have distinguished themselves in their career. The alumni board seeks your input with these awards. If you are aware of an alumni deserving of this recognition, please contact the alumni office or visit the MVC Web site to place your nomination. We continue to host many local and regional events to provide opportunities to stay in touch with friends from the College. I encourage you to frequently visit the College’s Web site to stay up-to-date on the activities associated with the College. One such activity new to the College this year was tailgating at each home football game. The tailgate parties proved to be a success and a great gathering place for friends and alumni. The Board of Directors voted to increase its membership from twelve to fifteen members. We will welcome these new members during our January meeting. Your continued support of MVC is a very important part of making all of this happen and we thank you for all that you do. Please stay connected, and contact us if there is something we can do to build on your relationship with MVC. Valley Will Roll, Spencer Fricke Alumni Association President Page 4 Visit www.moval.edu/alumni for alumni news and event updates. J on Morris, ’87, wanted to give back. After visiting campus and talking with Professor Diana Malan, he saw firsthand how the theatre, music and dance department was in need of some new equipment. So he gave MVC something to sing about. Givingthe gift of music. Why did you give this equipment to the Missouri Valley College theatre, music, and dance department? I wanted to give back to Valley in a way that you could immediately see the benefits for the students. I had been involved in the vocal music program when I was a student at Missouri Valley and know it was an area that was in desperate need of updated equipment. I had always wanted to give back to the college, but as embarrassing as it is to say, I had neglected doing that for many years. I always had the thought “what would a small donation by me do for the college.” Now I am in a position to be able to help in a more substantial way, but I still regret not making the small donations when I had the chance years earlier. If all alumni think this way, then there will never be “the right time” to donate. A small amount by several alumni adds up and helps so much. Describe the equipment that you donated. The Roland® KR105 Digital Intelligent Piano seemed to be a great fit for Professor Malan and the students. The added features that this particular piano has are very cool. Just to name a few, it offers top-quality piano sounds, a touchscreen interface, DigiScore, a Visual Music Assistant, and much more. It’s a great learning tool for the students and this will hopefully allow them to only get better and try some new things. You’ve been back to campus and have actually seen the professors and students using the equipment—how does that make you feel? It really reinvigorates the sense of “Valley Pride.” I had that when I was a student and probably had it a few years after graduating, but then I lost it. It is a great feeling. It is also very rewarding to see something benefit the people who From left: Jon Morris, Professor Diana Malan and MVC senior Genie Banner experiment with Jon’s gift, a digital intelligent piano. need it. You can donate to many charities, MS Society, Breast Cancer, etc. Those are fantastic causes, but you can see directly the benefit of your help to a smaller institution such as Valley. Tell more about your involvement in the theatre, music, and dance department during your time at MVC? I was involved in theatre and more involved with the music program. It was really the beginning of Diana Malan’s choirs. The funny part is I only joined because a friend was auditioning and didn’t want to sing alone so I went along and next thing you know I am a part of the choir. It has come so far since then. Diana truly puts on state of the art productions in a fantastic environment now. If an alumni/friend can’t necessarily donate financially to MVC, what advice do you have for one who would be interested in an “in-kind” gift? There is so much that can benefit Valley. A college with a budget and needs such as ours is always needing services and products—electrical, mechanical, construction, etc. I would encourage anyone in those types of services to contact Eric Sappington and let him match their talents with the campus needs. Why would you encourage others to give to MVC? In closing, I would just add that truly no donation is too small. Believe me I have seen how far a dollar can stretch on campus. If alumni can only give $50 or $100, it really does add up and goes directly to benefit future Vikings!

After graduating in 1970, he worked as a computer draftsman for the Missouri Department of Transportation for two years. Keith taught and coached (basketball and football) for 13 years at the former Blue Springs Junior High. In 1985 he was hired as an administrator, serving in various positions as the district was growing and reconfiguring. He currently is serving his tenth year as the principal of Blue Springs South High School. 6 Bobby Lashley World Wrestling Entertainment Raw Superstar His picture is used on countless games, books, stickers, and more; he has his own action figure; he was Donald Trump’s favorite; he has been in hundreds of magazines, papers and television shows; and Bobby Lashley is proud to be a graduate of Missouri Valley College. Keith earned his master’s degree in Education and Education Specialist from University of Central Missouri. He continued with doctoral work at the University of Missouri at Columbia and is currently ABD (all but dissertation). In 2002, he was the Missouri Association of Secondary School Principal’s selection for the Missouri High School Principal of the Year. This honor included a trip to Washington D.C. with his wife to meet and conference with the 49 other state principals, complete with black tie award dinner with national dignitaries (sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals and MetLife). He has played a part in bringing the “Smaller Learning Communities” concept to the secondary level in Blue Springs. In 2002-03 Keith represented the Blue Springs District by attending multiple sessions of the Missouri Partnership for Educational Renewal with DESE. Keith has also been a part of a high school task force working with Joan Soloman and DESE on ways to improve Missouri high schools by focusing on state assessment. Hard-hitting and soft-spoken, Lashley has made his mark on the entertainment industry as one of the most recognizable superstars of the WWE. Lashley attended Missouri Valley College, where he won three national amateur wrestling championships between 1996 and 1998, placing fourth in 1995. Throughout 1997 and 1998 he was the NAIA National Wrestling Champion, competing at the weight of 177 pounds. After graduating from MVC in 1999, Lashley joined the United States Army, where he continued to wrestle. In November 2003, Lashley moved to professional wrestling and signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. He was assigned to its farm federation, Ohio Valley Wrestling, where he was known as Blaster Lashley and was a member of the Bolin Services stable along with Mike Mondo and Ken Doane. In mid-2005 Lashley appeared at four live events, wrestling in dark matches for both the RAW and SmackDown! brands. On September 23, 2005, Lashley made his televised WWE debut on SmackDown! under the name Bobby Lashley. Lashley was introduced as a three-time National NAIA Wrestling Champion, four-time All-American, a two-time Armed Forces Champion, and a 2002 Silver Medalist at the Military World Championship. In his first match he beat Simon Dean then, in his pay-per-view debut at No Mercy 2005, defeated Dean once again. Lashley went on to conquer numerous superstars both on Velocity and SmackDown! Along these same lines, Keith in 2005-2006 attended multiple sessions as a member of a committee with the Department of Education in Washington D.C. to determine methods to get better participation in the use of the NAEP (National Assessment of Education) exam. This led to a pilot program at Blue Springs South High School. This also provided tremendous exposure to the diversity of problems principals face in the different regions of the United States. Keith has also been a part of a grass roots movement in the work of “Stand Up Blue Springs”. This group meets to explore and determine community issues and discuss solutions that would better promote what is good in the community. Lashley graduated in 1999 from MVC with a bachelor’s degree in human service agency management and recreation administration. He has a daughter, Kyra, 2, and resides in Colorado Springs, Colo., where he owns a health smoothie shop. He has been married to his wife Lona, a 1970 MVC alumnus, for 36 years. The couple has one daughter, Eastin. OUTSTANDING YOUNG ALUMNI Page 7 VIKINGS ARE Tom Sandwith FOREVER FOREVER FOREVER FOREVER Sam Kornhauser From left: Wilds, Lamura, Kornhauser, Schuchardt, and Roskelly. Shortly after starting college Sam Kornhauser’s teammates quickly nicknamed him “The Ramblin’ Wreck from Brooklyn Tech.” Sam was a member of the MVC wrestling and football teams. He was twice selected as an All-Conference offensive tackle and was named an NAIA District 16 All-Star. Apparently, Sam also had a sense of style – one of the HOF board members mentioned that Sam was the first person he ever saw wearing bell bottoms! After graduating in 1971 he returned to his alma mater, Brooklyn Tech, and coached football for five seasons. He spent two years in Nome, Alaska as a basketball coach. Sam was the defensive coordinator at Norwich University in Vermont for five years before moving to Stony Brook, N.Y. where he started the Division III football program. Over the course of 21 seasons, Sam has presided over the Stony Brook football program that began at the Division III level and has since moved up to the Division I ranks. Sam is a four-time Stony Brook Men’s Athletics Coach of the Year selection. In May 2004 the All-American Football Foundation presented him with the Johnny Vaught Award for his outstanding performance in football. He was also honored in 1995 by the Metropolitan Chapter of the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Football officials with its Metro Award for undying efforts to the game of college football. In addition to his B.S. degree from Missouri Valley College, Sam has also earned a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology from Southern Illinois and a C.A.S. degree from the University of Vermont. Sam currently resides in East Setauket with his wife, Pam. He has two daughters, Sarah and Rachel. Jim Roskelly Jim Roskelly came to Missouri Valley College in 1968 and lettered in football and track all four years. In 1970 he received honorable mention NAIA all district sixteen honors. The Vikings were conference champions that year and ranked tenth in the nation. In 1971 Jim led district 16 in receiving and scoring, and was selected first team all conference, first team NAIA all district 16, and NAIA honorable mention All-American. Valley was ranked 8th in the nation at the time and were also conference champs. In 1972 Jim was selected first team Heart of America Athletic Conference and first team NAIA all district 16. In the four years he played football at Missouri Valley, Jim scored 35 touchdowns. Jim graduated in 1972 and went on to earn a master’s degree from Brigham Young University. Jim worked in education for several years in Chicago, managed a supper club for 11 years in Palos Park, Ill., and is currently farming the family farm and managing his hunting club. Jim lists Reed Kepner and Ken Gibler as the two most influential people in his life at Valley. Jim would not have played football had it not been for Reed Kepner and Coach Gibler gave him a chance as a walk on. Bill Schuchardt Bill Schuchardt was a 1972 honors graduate of Missouri Valley College. During his undergraduate years he was a 4-year starter for Coach Ken Gibler. He played offensive guard during his first two years and moved to the defensive side of the ball during his last two years. He was selected as All MCAU, All HAAC and All District linebacker. Bill was named Outstanding Defensive Back in the 1970 and 1971 football seasons, sharing that honor with teammate and Hall of Famer Phil Willard. In the 1971 Mineral Water Bowl, Bill was recognized as the Outstanding Tackler of the game. Bill’s class had the distinction of winning the last MCAU championship and the first HAAC championship. While at Valley, he was a member of V-Club and Sigma Nu social fraternity. After Valley, Bill earned a master’s degree from Indiana State University. Bill’s coaching career started at St. Mary’s High School in St. Louis where he was the defensive coordinator in football and the head track coach. Since 1981 he has been the head football coach and athletic director at Salem High School where he has amassed a record of 218-66. This 26-year span has earned the Salem Tigers 14 SCA Championships, 11 district championships, five Final Four appearances and 2 trips to the Show Me Bowl. Bill has received many honors over the past 26 years: SCA coach of the year, Southwest Missouri Coach of the year, and Southeast Region Coach of the year. In 2002 he was named to the Missouri Football Coaches Hall of Fame. Coach Schuchardt has served on the MSHSAA Football and Coaches Advisory Boards. Bill has been married for 29 years to his wife, Karen, and they have two sons, Jeff and Joe, who both coach football. Page 8 2007 Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees Ron Wilds Ron Wilds came to Missouri Valley College in 1970 from Pennsylvania. During his time at Valley he was a valued member of the football and track programs. It was reported to the Hall of Fame committee that Ron never lost any of the track events he was in with Bruce Jenner. Ron graduated from MVC in 1973 earning his bachelor’s degree in business administration. He went on to Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City and earned his DC degree in 1977, at which point he opened a solo practice of chiropractic in Blue Springs, Mo., which he still operates today. Since 1977 Ron has worked on numerous committees for the City of Blue Springs, he served as president of the Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners for four years, an active member of the Blue Springs Rotary Club since 1982, and was selected Outstanding Blue Springs Rotarian in 1995. He was selected Blue Springs Chamber of Commerce outstanding citizen of the year in 1996. He has served the Missouri Special Olympics in many capacities for 29 years. Ron is a member of the Cleveland Chiropractic Alumni Association and served the Blue Springs R-IV School District Board of Education for four years. This is just a sampling of Ron’s service and accomplishments, and Ron states that the biggest accomplishment in his life is his two daughters, Ryann and Ashley. Al LaMura Al LaMura was one of the most prolific quarterbacks the Heart of America Athletic Conference has ever seen. Al was a complete leader in that he epitomized the Valley spirit in every way. His record as a starter of 25-5 is only eclipsed by his persona as a leader, competitor, and teammate, who constantly exemplified tenacity and sportsmanship. Al earned All-Conference honors in his second season in 1976, and threw for a school record 18 touchdowns. In his senior year Al was co-captain leading his team to the NAIA Division II playoffs. In his three years he was 25-5-1. After graduating Al signed as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys. Al taught and coached high school for a few years before becoming an independent agent for Lawson Product where he has been for the last 26 years. During this time he has coached youth sports in his community, and for the past 6 years, he bas been coaching quarterbacks at Brick Township High School in Bricktown, N.J. In 2006 he was elected into Marlboro High School’s Hall of Fame. Al resides in Bricktown with his wife, Jean, and they have four children: Christopher, Kate, Holly and Andre. Teammate E.J. Narcise says, “Although I’m confident that his individual achievements speak for themselves, Al LaMura never cared about individual awards; all he truly cared about was winning the right way. Al should be recognized as one of the most outstanding athletic leaders, Valley has ever known.” 1997 National Championship Wrestling Team The 1997 Missouri Valley College men’s wrestling team was one of most dominant teams in NAIA wrestling history. This team distinguished itself in Missouri Valley College wrestling history as the first team to receive the #1 National ranking in pre-season. They went on to hold that ranking throughout the season and set the national team point scoring record and won back-to-back NAIA National Championships. During the season this team also won the first ever NAIA Coaches Association National Dual Meet Championships held in Las Vegas, Nev. This team produced 8 All-Americans with six reaching the finals and 2 earning individual National titlists and as a result of this championship MVC was again invited to participate the following year in the National Wrestling Coaches Association’s National Dual Championship as the NAIA representative competing against the NCAA Division I, II, III National Champions, and 12 other top NCAA Division I teams. Tom Sandwith Of the 12 members of the 1997 team, nine earned All-American honors, seven became national finalist and five earned individual national championships during their careers, and one became a World Military silver medalist representing the United Stated Army. 1 2 1.

Page 9 For the love of Fred. By Chad Jaecques Page 10 I t was 47 to 24—Staten Island over Queens. And it was the 28th year to memorialize a Viking. > Opposite top right: Fugazzi (left) and Joe Avena in 1962 at MVC. > Opposite top left: Staten Island (in white) versus Queens at the 2007 Fugazzi Bowl. > Opposite bottom left: #36 Fugazzi in 1963. Nearly 100 of New York City’s finest high school seniors are suiting up. Two teams—Staten Island and Queens—are made up of young men from over 20 different high schools. They are mentally preparing themselves to stand on the sidelines next to some of their biggest rivals. Their helmets range from purple to black to orange. But today all of their jerseys are the same—they are all proudly wearing the title “Fugazzi Bowl” across their chests. In his high school years at New Dorp High School in Staten Island, N.Y., Fred Fugazzi was making a name for himself. A football standout, he gained over 2,000 yards, averaging over 100 yards per game, and five yards per carry—stats that would eventually take him hundreds of miles from his New York roots— smack dab in the middle of Missouri. In the fall of 1961, Fred began his freshman year at Missouri Valley College. His outstanding high school record had provided him with not only the opportunity to get a college education, but also the chance to continue to play the game he loved so dearly. The Viking football program had become one of the most respected ones in the country, and Fred would represent the program very well. Fred helped lead the Vikings to an undefeated season his sophomore year, and the team finished sixth in the nation in scoring and 18th in rushing. Fred was a team co-captain his senior year while earning All-Conference, All-Missouri, and NAIA Little All-American honors. Fred rushed for over 2,500 yards and capped his collegiate career by being drafted by the Boston Patriots. Opting against professional football, Fred joined the Marines and played football for the Quantico (VA) base team. Fred didn’t limit his college experience to just football. He was very active on campus and made several close friends along the way. According to Joe Avena ’64, his high school teammate who had also made the journey to the Midwest, Fred was grateful for his experience at Valley. “He absolutely loved the Midwest and his time at Missouri Valley,” Avena said. “He made amazing friends that he was in contact with for years after he left. Fred created a loyalty and a strong friendship to all people who knew him. If you were a friend of Fred’s, you were his friend for life.” On his wedding day, Avena witnessed Fred’s loyalty to their friendship. “I opened up the card and Fred had given me $80.36,” Avena explained. “I thought long and hard about why he would give that amount of money until it finally hit me. My football number was 80 and Page 11 his was 36. It was the most special amount of money I had ever received.” After graduating in 1965, Fred headed back to the East Coast. He and Avena continued their love for football and coached for a number of years in Staten Island. “Fred always loved working with the tougher kids,” Avena said. “He had a knack with them both on and off the field I think because he could relate to them. It’s comforting to know how many of those kids’ lives that he changed.” Fred would eventually get a job with the New York City Fire Department. According to Avena, this was a perfect fit for Fred. “If someone was in need, he was there for them,” Avena said. “He was so strong physically and mentally Joe Avena and Paul Troth visit with Staten island All-Stars. Troth discussed the MVC football program, MVC admission requirements, and scholarship information. Avena told students about his decision to attend MVC and the great experience that he had. that you knew he was around when he was. He had one of the most charismatic and magnetic personalities that I have ever seen.” Fred would be honored for bravery on two separate occasions during his career with the FDNY, and his benevolent instincts would ultimately be the reason we today memorialize him. While off duty in New York on Nov. 5, 1977, Fred came upon a complete stranger who was being beaten. He was determined to help, but unfortunately, he couldn’t. Fred was murdered while trying to break up the fight. He was 36 years old. At Fred’s wake, Avena and other friends decided Fred Page 12 needed to be remembered. Those who knew him best knew that the best way to do this was with his favorite pastime—football. And so the Fred Fugazzi Memorial Award Dinner and Fugazzi Bowl was born. “Football did a lot for him and it gave him many opportunities in his life,” Avena said. “He loved helping kids and so this was the best combination of what he did.” The Fugazzi Award is regarded as the “Heisman” Award of Staten Island high school football. Each year, the Fugazzi family donates a $2,000 scholarship to the Award winner. After learning about the Bowl and the scholarship, MVC President Bonnie Humphrey thought it would be great to make Fred’s alma mater a part of the Fugazzi Memorial. “I think it’s incredibly important for Missouri Valley College to recognize the significance of its past, and we haven’t always done a good job at that,” Humphrey said. “My goal is to reconnect with as many people who share the passion and traditions of Missouri Valley. The story of Fred Fugazzi and this group of friends who have kept his legend alive is absolutely amazing and I think it needs to be told and retold within the Valley family.” For those Fugazzi Bowl players who want to follow in the footsteps of Fugazzi, Avena, and others and venture to the Midwest, Missouri Valley College makes available a $5,000 scholarship to them, providing they meet the school’s admission requirements. The Fugazzi Memorial Award Committee, which has now become a little family of its own, will continue to put on this event. “This is one of the oldest established sports traditions on Staten Island,” said Rita Barchitta, committee president and a friend of Fred’s since grammar school. “We have sons of the men who played in the game, and it is an honor for these kids to get chosen to play in this game.” This year the Staten Island team came out on top. Another year of photos, rosters, and newspaper clippings to fill the scrapbooks. Through his friends and family on the committe, the players, the coaches, and the parents and fans, Fred Fugazzi lives on. “It takes a lot of work to put on this event, but it’s obvious how much Fred was loved,” Barchitta said. “Year after year, his family and friends make sure this happens. And we do it all for the love of Fred.” Fall Sports Round-up Photos by Tom Sandwith CROSS COUNTRY • • • • • • • • • Anthony Flores, SR, Ft.

Simpson was on her way to cross-country practice when she was struck by a car and thrown 30 feet. Miraculously, she came away from the accident without any serious injuries and was released from the hospital later that night. Despite her early release, prospects for Simpson running again did not look good. Simpson had a fractured wrist, four severely bruised bones in her right knee, and several other deep muscle bruises. Simpson had a unique reason to start running competitively in high school. “The high school coach said he didn’t think I could handle distance running, so I wanted to prove him wrong,” Simpson said. Not only could she handle it, but she became one of the top high school runners in the state of Texas. She placed fourth at the state cross-country meet her sophomore year, and also won several district and regional titles while in high school. In her first three races at Missouri Valley, she established herself as the team’s top runner. In the final race before her accident, Simpson ran a 20:22 in only her second career 5K race, but she wasn’t dominating the competition like she had in the past. “When I was in high school I won most of my races, but in college I have a lot more competition,” Simpson said. After three months of physical therapy to heal her injuries, Simpson made her return for outdoor track—but she was not the same. After months of inactivity, Simpson felt like an entirely different runner than the one that had led the team during cross country. She was 20 seconds off her usual mile time and more than a minute slow on her two mile. “Once I started running again, I felt so far behind that I kind of gave up during track season,” Simpson said. After a disappointing track season, Simpson was determined to reach her previous form. She spent the summer putting in mileage and anxiously awaiting the start of cross country. The hard work paid off more than even Simpson could have anticipated. She improved more than a minute from the previous cross country season, running the 5K in 19:19. Simpson also finished the year earning All-Conference and All-Region honors. Even after such a successful return, Simpson still has more goals she would like to accomplish. “I want to break 19 minutes in cross country, and for outdoor track I’d like to run the 1,500 (meters) in 4:50,” Valley sophomore Sheena SimpSimpson son (middle) came back from a said. accident to become one of the Simpson HAAC’s top competitors. has not only come back stronger after the accident, she has found a new appreciation for running. “The time off made me realize how much running means to me and how I had taken it for granted in the past,” Simpson said. “I was afraid that I’d never be able to run around with my kids. It wasn’t just about the competition; it was about my life.” Page 15 2007 Season Highlights • • • • • • • • • • • • Finished with a 10-3 record. 2nd in the Heart of American Athletic Conference Coach Paul Troth – Named American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Region III Coach of the Year (Repeated) Reggie Singletary – Named HAAC Defensive Player of the Week Reggie Singletary – Named American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Region III AllAmerican Linebacker Marquette Floyd– Named HAAC Defensive Player of the Week twice Robert Holmes – Named HAAC Offensive Player of the Week First Missouri Valley College team to play in the NAIA National semi-finals back to back.

Students, faculty, and staff participated in various activities throughout the week. One goal of Convocation is to help freshman students feel at home at Missouri Valley. “Freshmen were given the opportunity to get a lot of good advice from people who know first hand about Valley,” said Ashley Grindstaff, student body president. Many speakers shared advice with freshmen and gave advice on how to be successful in college. Grindstaff explained what might cause students to get off track and offered advice on how to stay focused. “I was trying to get across a lot of things I wish someone would have told me when I was their age,” Grindstaff said. Grindstaff also gave freshmen the opportunity to hear from a peer what to expect with college life. “It’s different hearing advice from a student than from a teacher,” Grindstaff said. “The most important thing I wanted to relay to the freshmen is to get involved and find something that caught their interests because it forces them to be responsible.” Larry Stockman, professor of business and recipient of the 2007 John McCallum Excellence in Teaching Award, was the keynote speaker. He stressed to students that Missouri Valley is a family and how families are there for each other. “We share the experiences, however, you will create your own traditions,” Page 18 Stockman said. Other speakers included: President Bonnie Humphrey; Dr. Earl Wellborn, MVC chief academic officer; Heath Morgan, dean of students; Sharon Hoeflicker, President’s Staff Excellence Award winner; Wayne Crawford, on behalf of the MVC Board of Trustees; Connie Latimer, City of Marshall mayor; Dr. Marilyn Belwood, MVC Faculty Senate president; and Spencer Fricke, MVC Alumni Association president.
