A Great Report Card
Ten Stories of 2010
Changing Our Culture
The Higher Learning Commission of the
North Central Association of Colleges
and Schools extended Indiana Wesleyan
University’s accreditation for 10 years – the
maximum time allowed by the Commission.
IWU was first accredited in 1966.
A convocation to honor Bill and Gloria
Gaither, a national track and field meet
that brought 5,000 people to campus, a
move upward in the U.S. News & World
Report rankings and another year of record
enrollment were highlights of 2010.
A newly appointed Multicultural
Enrichment Council has been assigned
the task of promoting a more diverse
culture at Indiana Wesleyan University.
The Council has developed specific
goals to monitor its progress over the
next three years.
Indiana Wesleyan University, an evangelical Christian
comprehensive university of The Wesleyan Church, was founded
in 1920 and is committed to liberal arts and professional education
through undergraduate and graduate programs.
For many years, Indiana Wesleyan has been the fastest-growing
university in Indiana and has become the largest independent
university in the state in student headcount. The University is the
largest of the 180 member and affiliate institutions in the Council for
Christian Colleges and Universities.
On the Cover
The Williams Prayer Chapel has stood at the spiritual center of the Indiana
Wesleyan University campus since it was dedicated in October of 2001. The
12th-century Gothic chapel was a gift from Wilbur and Ardelia Williams,
both of whom graduated from IWU in 1951 and then returned to campus as
professors in 1967. Ardelia Williams retired in 2002, and Wilbur Williams
continues to teach full time.

INDIANA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY
Traditional students attend classes on Indiana Wesleyan’s 350-acre
campus in Marion, Indiana. Most buildings on the residential campus
have been built in the last 25 years, so students live and learn in
state-of-the art residence halls and academic buildings.
The most significant single building in University history, a 3,800seat Chapel Auditorium, was dedicated in January of 2010.
Indiana Wesleyan offers more than 70 undergraduate majors, and
an increasing number of honors students has led to the creation of a
John Wesley Honors College for traditional students.

Being Good Stewards
On the Horizon
Honor Roll of Donors
Indiana Wesleyan University’s
increased focus on sustainability issues
fits well with the University’s mission
to be world changers. A student-run
group is working hand-in-hand with
IWU officials to be good stewards of
what God has given us.
Construction could begin in 2011 on
a building to house Wesley Seminary,
and a task force will issue its report
on whether IWU should begin a
football program and change its
athletic affiliation from the NAIA to
NCAA Division II.
In all seasons of University life, but
especially in tough economic times, it
is the legions of faithful donors who
make a difference in the quality of
education at IWU. We express our
thanks and appreciation in the 2010
Honor Roll of Donors.
The University has received national attention for its innovative
adult education programs, which began in 1985. Adult education
programs are offered online and at more than 100 locations –
including 16 regional education centers – in Indiana, Kentucky and
Ohio.
Undergraduate and graduate degrees for adult learners are offered
in business, nursing, education, ministry and counseling. IWU also
offers a doctorate in organizational leadership.
In 2009, Wesley Seminary at Indiana Wesleyan University opened in
Marion as the first seminary in the history of The Wesleyan Church.
In recent years, the annual survey of American colleges by U.S. News
& World Report has recognized Indiana Wesleyan for its educational
quality and affordability. IWU is now ranked as one of the top 50
Regional Universities in the Midwest.

IWU
Accreditation
Extended Maximum 10 Years
it is official!
The Higher Learning Commission of the North
Central Association of Colleges and Schools has
continued Indiana Wesleyan University’s accreditation
for 10 years – the maximum time allowed by the
Commission.
IWU’s next comprehensive evaluation for the
Commission will conclude in 2020 – the 100th
anniversary of the University.
The self-study that led to the extension of IWU’s
accreditation began in April 2008 – a full two years
before an 11-member team of peer consultantevaluators came to campus for a three-day visit.
The team’s recommendation that IWU be
accredited for another 10 years was affirmed at the
November 2010 meeting of the Institutional Actions
Council of the Higher Learning Commission.
The Commission asked IWU to submit only
one progress report over the next 10 years. The
report, which is due May 30, 2012, will update the
Commission on IWU’s efforts to enhance diversity.
The co-chairpersons of IWU’s Self-Study Steering
Committee were:
• Dr.CynthiaTweedell,AssociateDeanfor
Survey and Assessment of the College of Adult
and Professional Studies.
• Dr.DonSprowl,AssistantProvostandDirector
of Institutional Research.
The word accreditation first appeared in the
vocabulary of Marion College near the end of World
War II, when the North Central Association invited the
college to participate in a three-year study. But, as the
1940s gave way to the 1950s, the College still had not
been accredited.

INDIANA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY
“Permeating the everyday life on the campus and
related to every success was the more and more urgent
sense of the need of accreditation,” Dr. Marjorie Elder
wrote in her history of Indiana Wesleyan University, The
Lord, The Landmarks, The Life.
“Failures were felt most poignantly by Dean Allen
Bowman as he worked and despaired and hoped his
way through the early ’50s,” Dr. Elder wrote.
In October of 1954, the North Central Association
determined that the College deserved another
inspection, and a study team came to campus a month
later. In May of 1955, the Association again notified
the College that its request for accreditation had been
rejected.
In 1960, before he agreed to become President
of Marion College, Dr. Woodrow Goodman sent a
letter to the Alumni Association noting that the lack
of accreditation was the biggest problem faced by the
school.
“In reality, accreditation is but the recognition
of an existing educational excellence,” Dr. Goodman
wrote. “The factors that make up this excellence should
be the focus of our attention. When these factors are
developed with sufficient stability and clarity, the much
desired accreditation will follow.”
Those words became prophetic on March 30, 1966
– 46 years after Marion College opened its doors –
when the school was notified officially that it had been
admitted to the North Central Association.
“A great day of celebration at Marion College,” Dr.
Bowman wrote in his diary. “A parade through the city
included a fire truck, a WMRI sound truck and many
cars. A number of speeches at a rally, which followed at
the gym. All the speeches were good. The band played.
Accreditation Teams Were
Frequent Visitors to IWU
Last night there was a bonfire, and some students drove
all around the country, as far as Taylor University and
Ball State.”
Dr. Goodman would write later in his memoirs,
“It was the conclusion of a long hard task; to God be
the praise for his wisdom, strength, and blessing on
the cooperative efforts of the trustees, faculty, students,
alumni, community and church.”
The blessing of accreditation has continued to
this day, but not without periodic self-studies and
reevaluations by what is now the Higher Learning
Commission of the North Central Association of
Colleges and Schools.
The North Central Association of Colleges and
Schools was founded in 1895 for the purpose of
establishing close relations between the colleges and
secondary schools of the region. Today, the Association
membership consists of colleges and schools in 19
states, Department of Defense schools and the schools
and colleges in sovereign U.S. tribal nations within the
19 states.
An institutional accrediting agency, such as
the North Central Association, evaluates an entire
educational organization in terms of its mission and
the agency’s standards or criteria. It accredits the
organization as a whole.
Besides assessing formal educational activities, it
evaluates such things as governance and administration,
financial stability, admissions and student services,
institutional resources, student learning, institutional
effectiveness, and relationships with internal and
external constituencies.
In addition to the 2010 visit by a team of peer evaluators from
The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association,
teams from three other accrediting agencies were on the Indiana
Wesleyan University campus during 2010 to review individual
programs.
They included:
• GraduateCounseling:The Council for Accreditation of
Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP)
extended its accreditation of IWU graduate counseling
programs through October 2013.
• TeacherEducation: The National Council for Accreditation of
Teacher Education (NCATE) extended its accreditation of IWU
teacher education programs to 2017.
• Music:The National Association of Schools of Music extended
the accreditation of music programs to 2020.
IWU also has three other programs that are individually
accredited. Here is the current accreditation status of those
programs:
• AthleticTraining. The accrediting agency is the Commission
for Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). The
last visit was in 2008, and accreditation was extended to 2018.
• Nursing. The accrediting agency is the Commission on
Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The last visit was in 2009,
and accreditation was extended to 2019.
• SocialWork.The accrediting agency is the Council on Social
Work Education (CSWE). The last visit was in 2005, and
accreditation was extended to 2013.
Because of recent legislation approved by the Kentucky
Legislature, IWU was required in late 2010 to bring programs
offered in Kentucky into compliance with standards of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, which is the regional
accrediting agency for Kentucky.
Previously, IWU programs in Kentucky had been accredited
because of a reciprocal agreement between the Southern
Association and the North Central Association.
The basic difference between the two regional accrediting
agencies involved academic credentials for faculty members. IWU
addressed the issue by reassigning some professors from Indiana
and by hiring five additional full-time faculty members to teach IWU
classes in Kentucky.
As a result, IWU now meets the same accrediting standards as
all colleges and universities in Kentucky.
Accrediting agencies are not government entities, but rather
voluntary cooperative associations of schools and scholars.
Accreditation provides the prestige of national recognition and
the assurance of quality for students, parents and other members
of the community. The institution benefits as well from the selfreflection, self-improvement and peer counsel that are part of the
accreditation process.
The federal government enters the accreditation process not
through direct oversight, but through financial aid. To ensure that
federal aid is well spent, the U.S. Department of Education provides
financial aid only to students of accredited institutions.

iWU moUrns death of cheryl marie beckett
Cheryl Marie Beckett, a biology major who graduated with honors from
Indiana Wesleyan University in 2000, was among 10 medical volunteers who
were shot to death August 5 in Afghanistan by the Taliban. She was 32 years
old.
Cheryl spent the last six years of her life serving the people of Afghanistan
through community development, focusing on nutritional gardening and
mother-child health. Family members and friends said Cheryl developed a
global passion for justice during her four years at IWU.
On September 29, the IWU family – along with Cheryl’s family –
gathered in the Chapel Auditorium to celebrate the life of this remarkable
and courageous young woman. Her father, the Rev. Charles Beckett, was the
speaker.
As part of the memorial service, IWU President Henry Smith announced
IWU has established a World Changer Award, inspired by Cheryl Beckett,
to honor the lives of IWU alumni who achieve a standard of Christian
excellence.
The first IWU Alumni World Changer Award was bestowed
posthumously on Miss Beckett. A Cheryl Beckett Scholarship also was
established to honor her life.
An endowed scholarship will be established to honor future recipients of
the Alumni World Changer Award.

Bill and Gloria Gaither made two visits to Indiana
Wesleyan University in 2010, once to be honored and
once to entertain. On both occasions, the Gaithers drew
capacity crowds to IWU’s 3,800-seat Chapel Auditorium.
In March, the Christian songwriters and recording
artists became the newest inductees into IWU’s Society
of World Changers. Bill Gaither also received an
honorary doctorate – the same honor that had been
bestowed on Gloria Gaither when she spoke at an IWU
graduation in 2002.
The Gaithers were honored for their lifetime
devotion to Christian music. Together they have
published more than 700 songs, recorded 40 albums,
produced 100 videos – and founded Gaither Music
Co., which is a few miles south of the IWU campus in
Alexandria, Indiana.
In October, the Gaither Vocal Band was the featured
act for the annual IWU Homecoming concert in the
Chapel Auditorium. Gloria Gaither – plus almost 200
voices of the IWU Chorale and chorale alumni – joined
the vocal band for several numbers during the threehour concert.

iWU has record 2010 enrollment
A record 15,953 students were enrolled for 2010 fall semester
classes at Indiana Wesleyan University. The 2010 enrollment was
3.9 percent higher than the previous year.
A total of 3,274 of those students – also a record number –
attended classes on IWU’s residential campus in Marion. The
remaining 12,679 students attended classes either online or at 16
regional centers and other sites in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio.
As part of a growing national trend in higher education, 40
percent of all IWU students attend classes online.
Of the 3,274 students who attend classes in Marion, 2,622 of
them live on campus, and the remaining 652 are commuters.
Over the past 25 years, the balance of students attending classes
on IWU’s Marion campus has shifted steadily from commuter to
residential. As recently as 10 years ago, only about 60 percent of
traditional students lived on campus – compared to 80 percent in
2010.
Two residence halls that were built in the last three years have
added about 700 beds to accommodate future growth of residential
students. For the first time in recent history, IWU had excess
residence hall capacity in the fall of 2010.

task force explores
mUlticUltUral diversity
A task force worked throughout 2010 to lay the
foundation for the appointment of a Multicultural
Enrichment Council (see story on Page 14). The
council’s mission is to change the multicultural face of
IWU’s residential campus.
As part of that mission, IWU formed a partnership
with the National Hispanic Christian Leadership
Conference, America’s largest Hispanic Christian
organization, to address collaboratively the educational
and academic needs of the Hispanic faith community.
“The partnership of IWU with NHCLC reflects the
values past, present and future of both IWU and The
Wesleyan Church,” said Dr. Jo Anne Lyon, General
Superintendent of The Wesleyan Church. “I look
forward to the scores of leaders emerging for our
churches, communities and the world as a result of this
relationship.”
As part of the Hispanic initiative, IWU hired the Rev.
Joanne Solis-Walker, an ordained Wesleyan pastor, to
serve as Director of Latino Latina Education for Wesley
Seminary at IWU. Plans also were made for the first
Spanish-speaking seminary class in the spring of 2011.

2009-2010 academic year.
After teaching at IWU for 62 years and as her 89th birthday neared, Dr.
Marjorie Elder, Professor of English, chose to end a teaching career that
began a few months after she graduated from Marion College in 1945.
Since 1949, Elder had been away from campus for only one year: To
complete her doctorate at the University of Chicago. She was the first woman
ever to serve as student body president and, in 1995, she wrote a history of
IWU for the 75th anniversary of the University.
Dr. Doris Scott, one of the most senior faculty members for the School
or Nursing, retired after 31 years of teaching. The nursing program was
just four years old and had just graduated its first class when Scott began
teaching in 1979.
Before coming to IWU, Scott served three years as a Wesleyan missionary
in Sierra Leone where she was a primary caregiver at a clinic in a small town.
The daughter of a Wesleyan pastor from Michigan, Scott will continue to
live near campus with her 95-year-old mother.

IWU’s East Village – the area extending east from Phillippe Performing
Arts Center to the President’s Home – received a major facelift during the
summer of 2010.
University Boulevard, the main east-west thoroughfare through
campus, was completely redesigned, and now is a true boulevard. The
redesign was done with two goals in mind: to make the route more
aesthetically pleasing and to move traffic through campus more smoothly.
University Boulevard now includes a bicycle path.
New parking lots built in the area now provide additional – and more
convenient – spaces for visitors to the Performing Arts Center, the Chapel
Auditorium and to the Recreation and Wellness Center, which houses
Luckey Arena.
The former Aquadome swimming pool, built in the 1970s as a joint
project between IWU and the City of Marion, has been removed. In its
place is a new retention pond and new landscaping.
And IWU now has its first wayfinding system, a series of directional

Indiana Wesleyan University was ranked 28th among Regional
Universities in the Midwest in the 2011 edition of “America’s Best
Colleges,” which is published by U.S. News and World Report. IWU
was ranked 33rd a year ago.
IWU’s overall score in the rankings plus its peer assessment
score also increased. There are 172 regional universities in the
Midwest.
IWU also was ranked 11th among Regional Universities in the
Midwest in the “Great Schools, Great Prices” section of the U.S.
News report. The formula used to determine which colleges offer
the best value relates a school’s academic quality to its overall cost.
Regional universities, according to U.S. News, offer a full range
of undergraduate and master’s programs but few, if any, doctoral
programs. IWU offers master’s degrees in business administration,
management, counseling, education, ministry and nursing.
IWU also has one doctoral program in organizational leadership.

IWU Athletic Director Mark DeMichael.
In addition to attracting large crowds, the NAIA nationals also
received outstanding reviews. “Several people told us that IWU set
the gold standard for hosting the event,” DeMichael said. “Others
suggested IWU should consider hosting the national track and field
championships permanently.”
IWU currently has a three-year contract, which extends through
2012, to host the event, with an option to extend the contract for a
fourth year. Marion was the smallest city ever to host the meet.

Council Formed to Foster
Multicultural
Enrichment
When Diane McDaniel was asked to serve
on Indiana Wesleyan University’s newly formed
Multicultural Enrichment Council, she said it was
déjà vu. During her 36 years in the corporate world,
at Indiana Bell Telephone, Ameritech, SBC and AT&T,
McDaniel played a key role in shaping and promoting a
more diverse culture in her workplace.
“When looking back at a critical time of change
in telecommunications history, the 1984 divestiture of
AT&T, in regards to cultural diversity, it is almost parallel
to where we are today at Indiana Wesleyan,” McDaniel
said. “It was a gradual process then, and I expect it will
be a gradual process in our current environment.”
McDaniel joined IWU in 2005 as an adjunct faculty
member in the School of Business and Leadership. She
has been the Director of Faculty Recruitment for the
College of Adult & Professional Studies since September
2008.
Wayne Schmidt, who came to IWU in January 2010
as Vice President of Wesley Seminary at IWU, has a much
shorter history in dealing with diversity issues.
“I am late to the game,” said Schmidt. “When I
began preaching in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1979,
our church was 98 percent Anglo. Over the next 30
years, the community changed dramatically, but the
church continued to reflect what the community was
when we were founded.
In 2005, just six years ago, God wrecked me with
the question, ‘Are you interested in reaching all the
people in this community or only the people who look,
act and think like you?’ That began my journey of
leading and learning.”
IWU President Henry Smith has chosen Schmidt
to serve as Chairman of the Multicultural Enrichment
Council. McDaniel will serve as Vice Chairman.

Multicultural Enrichment Council.
“One of the first endeavors of the task force was to
develop the biblical, theological and historical foundation
for this endeavor, and I think that is great,” Schmidt said.
“We wanted to be sure that the work we are doing is in
response to the enduring truth of scripture – not just the
passing trends of culture and political correctness.”
McDaniel said the Council’s task should be easier
at IWU than it was in the corporate sector, because at
IWU employees work and students learn in a Christian
environment.
“I believe diversity recognition, acceptance, and
learning will be easier, because we share the love of
Christ, and we understand and embrace that out of one
blood we were all created,” she said.
Both McDaniel and Schmidt acknowledge that
President Smith has been the driving force behind IWU’s
efforts to become a more culturally diverse community.
“Beyond a deep biblical conviction that has formed
in his heart, Dr. Smith believes that to provide the best
education experience for our students – especially in a
world that is becoming more global by the minute – we
must have a culturally diverse faculty and student body,”
Schmidt said.
The Multicultural Enrichment Council already has
its marching orders from the task force. These statistical
goals, referred to as Performance Indicators, are spelled
out in a sidebar story on this page.
A few programs already are in place. Hispanic and
African-American admissions counselors have been
hired, and Wesley Seminar now has a director of Latino
Latina Education. The seminary will begin its first
Spanish-speaking cohort in the spring of 2011.
In October, 2010, IWU formed a partnership with
the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference
(NHCLC), America’s largest Hispanic Christian
organization, to address collaboratively the educational
and academic needs of the Hispanic faith community.
The NHCLC is comprised of 16 million members
in the United States and Puerto Rico, and serves 25,434
Hispanic churches and 75 denominations.
Under terms of the agreement, IWU stands as a
fully endorsed educational institution by the NHCLC
identifying IWU as an NHCLC Strategic Midwest Partner
and a member of the Alliance for Hispanic Christian
Education.
“President Smith is committed to student and
employee development by introducing and initiating
opportunities for cultural awareness training,” McDaniel
said. “Training will provide a forum for open discussions,
brainstorming solutions and identifying improvement
opportunities.”
Performance Indicators
The primary objective of the recently appointed
Multicultural Enrichment Council is to provide
leadership in changing the multicultural face of Indiana
Wesleyan University’s residential campus by the fall of
2013.
The Council has defined performance indicators that
commit the University to:
•

Sustainability:
What It Means at Indiana Wesleyan
BRENDAN

INDIANA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY
In 1987, the United Nations released the Bruntland
Report, which defines sustainability as “development
that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs.”
Although Indiana Wesleyan University has
employed sound sustainability practices in recent years,
an organization was established two years ago to insure
that commitment not only would continue but also
would grow.
“The University formed the Creation Stewardship
Initiative, which consists of faculty, staff and
administrators,” said Brendan Bowen. “There also is a
student-run organization called Creation Care Alliance,
which partners with us.”
Bowen is IWU’s Vice President for Operations and
Facilities Planning.
“Sustainability does not focus solely on
environmental issues,” he said. “It also includes
economic and social development. It’s easy to see that
IWU’s mission as world changers really lends itself to
the social aspect of sustainability.”
As much as possible, Bowen said, IWU wants to
keep politics out of discussions about sustainability.
Here are some of the sustainability projects
and practices that IWU undertook in 2010:
“Our goal is to engage and educate the campus
on these issues,” Bowen said. We want to say, ‘What
is our role as Christians when it comes to caring for
our environment? What can we really do to be good
stewards of what we have?’
“When we strip away politics and get to facts, we
realize that most students agree that we are stewards
and must do something to make a good future for
ourselves.”
Megan Stephens, Project Manager in the Office
of Operations and Facilities Planning, said she hopes
the lessons that students learn on campus about
sustainability will last them for a lifetime.
“We want students to have an understanding of
the bigger picture,” Stephens said. “Sustainability is not
just about what happens at IWU. It affects our entire
planet.”
Stephens has a degree in environmental design
from the Ball State University College of Architecture
and Planning. Part of her work revolves around
sustainability issues related to IWU buildings, but she
also has been involved in various student projects.
“We still have a menu of projects we would like to
do,” Stephens said. “When we invest, we get a return
through energy savings, but it still takes money upfront
to do the projects.”
While there is much left to do, there also is
progress to celebrate on matters related to sustainability.
“We have reduced our solid waste landfill costs by
about 50 percent in the last year, and our solid waste
budget today is about half the amount in dollars that
it was 10 years ago,” Bowen said. “We have about three
times as much waste today as 10 years ago, but the
total cost of waste removal continues to go down as
enrollment goes up.”
Bowen’s long-term goal is for IWU to become a
national leader in creating a whole campus culture of
stewardship and sustainability. “That would really set us
apart,” he said.
In the meantime, IWU is open to ideas – from
anyone.
“We need to look for new grants,” Bowen said. “We
know we have many alumni and friends who have a
passion for sustainability, and we would welcome them
to come forward and help us learn about opportunities
for gifts and grants.”

Chick-fil-A, Inc, will be honored March 30, 2011, at Indiana
Wesleyan University’s Eighth Annual Society of World
Changers convocation in the Chapel Auditorium.
The Chick-fil-A website says of Cathy: “Armed with a keen
business sense, a work ethic forged during the Depression
and a personal and business philosophy based on biblical
principles, Truett Cathy took a tiny Atlanta diner, originally called the Dwarf Grill, and
transformed it into Chick-fil-A, the nation’s second largest quick-service chicken restaurant
chain with annual sales of $3.2 billion and more than 1,500 locations in 38 states and
the District of Columbia. His tremendous business success allowed Truett to pursue other
passions – most notably his interest in the development of young people.”
Chick-fil-A is still privately owned.
The Society of World Changers was established in 2003 to honor people who serve as the salt
and light of their generation. Previous inductees include Robert Briner, Frank Peretti, James
Dobson, Benjamin Carson, Tony Dungy, Joni Eareckson Tada and Bill and Gloria Gaither.

Honor Roll of Donors
God Makes all Things Possible
With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.
–Mark 10:27
When those words from the Gospel of Mark were chosen as Indiana Wesleyan
University’s 2010-11 Verse of the Year, I immediately thought of the chorus,
Nothing Is Impossible, that we sang in church when I was a teenager.
Nothing is impossible
when you put your trust in God;
Nothing is impossible
when you’re trusting in His Word.
Hearken to the voice of God to thee:
“Is there anything too hard for Me?”
Then put your trust in God alone
and rest upon His Word –
For ev’rything, O ev’rything,
Yes, ev’rything is possible with God!
The words to the chorus were all I remembered, and I did not know the story of
the man behind the song. Eugene Clark, crippled by arthritis and blind, wrote this
song and many others as a testimony of his faith that believes all things are possible
with God.
During my teenage years, I thought a university education was impossible for me. I
sang the song, Nothing is Impossible, but doubted those words would be true in my
life. But because of people such as you, people who were moved by God to invest
in students, I was given a chance to receive the blessings of a Christian higher
education experience.
Thank you for being an instrument of God’s grace. Thank you for investing in
students and believing that all things are possible with God!
Grace be with you!

Cory Sprunger, who is serving his second term as president of the Student
Government Association at Indiana Wesleyan University, admits that he got
hooked on politics at a young age.
“I’ve always been a little more interested about what is going on in the
world than most people my age,” said Sprunger, an IWU senior from Berne,
Indiana, who is majoring in political science and pre-law.
Sprunger traces his interest in world affairs to his junior year in high school
when a friend suggested that the two of them drive to Indianapolis and
serve as pages in the Indiana State Senate for a day.
“I said ‘sure,’ and then I started thinking, ‘If there are pages in the Indiana
Senate, there have to be pages in the U.S. Senate,’” Sprunger said. “So I
looked it up and found that the 30-most senior U.S. Senators each get to
pick one page every five months.”
It did not take Sprunger long to learn that Indiana Senator Richard G. Lugar
got to fill one of those spots. Sprunger applied, was chosen and spent a
semester of his junior year in high school as a Senate page – where he was
elected president of the Student Council for pages.
“Every day, you sit on the Senate floor watching senators debate various
issues,” Sprunger said. “We even got to attend President George W. Bush’s
2006 State of the Union Address.
“I already was interested in government, but after watching people
influencing American lives every day, I got really excited. I knew then, I
wanted to be in the game.”
To make a long story much shorter, Sprunger’s game next wound through
an internship at the White House and, most recently, an opportunity to
job shadow the personal aide to Michael Steele, former Chairman of the
Republican National Committee.
Sprunger said it all happened because of his decision to let God run his
life. “You can’t plan all of the good things have happened to me,” he said.
“Times like this remind me that I am not in control. If I had tried to do this on
my own, I might be sitting on the sidelines the rest of my life.”
Instead, during his terms as SGA president at IWU, Sprunger and his team
have rewritten the organization’s constitution so that there truly is an
ongoing dialogue between students and student government.
“This isn’t something we did just to add another line to our resumes,”
Sprunger. “We had a mission, really more of a God-calling, and we are
going to gain life experience from it.”
Sprunger will graduate in April 2011 and his first career choice would be to
serve as a personal aide on a political campaign. As a back-up, he has sent
applications to 12 law schools-and has already been accepted by several.

Lexi Griffin:
Student Activist
Lexi Griffin, an Indiana Wesleyan University junior who is majoring in Christian ministries, does not
see herself as an activist. Her lifestyle would indicate otherwise.
“As soon as I gave my life to Christ during my freshman year in high school, I started running
things,” Griffin said. “I planned Princess Nights because I wanted girls to learn about sexual purity
and identity in Christ and true beauty. I loved doing that kind of thing.”
Griffin’s career priorities also changed. Her earlier desire to be a fashion designer was replaced by a
call to ministry – a decision that got mixed reviews because she was a woman.
“Some of the teachers and students at my school were members of a small, but tightly knit,
fundamentalist church, and they were vocal about letting me know that my desire to be a pastor
was not of God,” she said. “But several people also encouraged me to pursue my dream.”
Griffin’s father, Philip, a pastor in Wisconsin, suggested that his daughter talk with Dr. Jo Anne Lyon
about women in ministry. Two years ago, Lyon became the first women ever elected as a General
Superintendent of The Wesleyan Church.
The encounter between the two women not only confirmed Griffin’s desire to be a pastor, but also
gave her a new cause to champion: Human trafficking.
“Dr. Lyon was speaking at a convention on human trafficking, and I got there early to hear her
speech,” Griffin said. “She really fired me up about the oppression of women, especially in the
Middle East.
“I felt very passionate about the issue and realized what an atrocity it was. I decided then, if I ever
could do anything possible to tell others about human trafficking, I would let God use me.”
Two years later, as she sat in her World Changer class at IWU, Griffin seized an opportunity to
honor that commitment when students were challenged to come up with an issue and find ways to
increase awareness.
Griffin‘s breakout group decided its issue would be human trafficking. What started as a project to
place posters around campus, quickly evolved into an all-day event in downtown Marion that drew
hundreds of participants.
“It was a lot of work,” Griffin said. “A lot of nights, the four of us planning the event barely got any
sleep. We would have meetings all day, do homework after midnight, fall asleep and then wake up
and do it over again.
“It’s cool how God uses people to see a problem, to be broken about it and then want to do
something about it. Maybe that is the definition of an activist.”
After graduation from IWU, Griffin plans to be ordained as a Wesleyan pastor and then begin
seminary. “I’m growing up a lot, but I still have so much to learn” she said.

“We had to print more copies because the newspapers were disappearing so quickly from the racks
weekly press run was up to 1,300 copies.
around campus,” said Eastman, an IWU senior from Colorado Springs, Colorado. That is a positive sign
for any newspaper.
“When I first started writing for The Sojourn, students – even my friends – thought it was kind of a
joke,” Eastman said. “Now, I get a real sense that students are eager to see the newspaper each week.
They tell us they really like the paper.”
Eastman’s peers like the newspaper, too. Earlier this year, The Sojourn was named one of the nation’s
top 10 weekly campus newspapers in the Best of Show at the 89th Annual National College Media
Convention.
The other universities in the top 10 had several times Indiana Wesleyan’s undergraduate enrollment,
and IWU was the only private or Christian school honored.
“The 14 people on our staff are amazing,” Eastman said. “They put in so much time and work so hard,
even over the summer before school began, to make this happen. I am excited about the team’s effort
and achievement.”
Eastman downplays his role in the increased popularity of The Sojourn on campus and the national
attention the newspaper has received.
“Our editors are amazing, and the entire staff plans each issue of the paper,” he said. “We’ve all had a
fun year, and I am so happy to be here. I love my job as editor, I absolutely love it.”
Part of the sense of accomplishment, Eastman admitted, has come from tackling controversial topics.
When three IWU students fell and broke bones on icy campus sidewalks, The Sojourn questioned
whether classes should have been cancelled – or at least delayed – for the day. Another story
questioned the cost of food in IWU’s dining facilities.
Eastman said he got hooked on journalism while taking photos for his high school yearbook and fell in love
with writing while working as an intern in the multimedia department of his church in Colorado Springs.
Eastman started on The Sojourn as a contributing writer his first year at IWU, and he credits another
student editor with convincing him to stick with journalism. “I like writing, specifically, but am
interested in communications, in general,” he said.
Eastman will graduate in April with majors in political science, pre-law and writing. He hopes to return
to Colorado and work for a newspaper for a few years, and then apply to law school. His career goal:
Media law.

cOllEgE STuDENT
College was never an option for Elisha Miller, who received the 2010
Indiana Wesleyan University “Realizing the Dream” Award. The award is
given to first-generation college students who excel academically during
their freshman year.
“I always knew that I wanted to go to college,” said Miller, an IWU
sophomore from Millersburg, Indiana. “I felt a strong passion to make a
difference, and I really wanted to push myself.”
Even though neither of her parents nor her two older siblings chose to
attend college, Miller said her family was very supportive. “They really
wanted me to attend college,” she said
Miller chose IWU, in part, after visiting the Marion campus with a friend.
“I just fell in love with the campus; it was so beautiful and nice,” she said.
“But then it became sort of a faith thing. I wanted Christ as my foundation,
and began to feel that I was just called to come to IWU.”
She never has regretted her decision. Miller finished her freshman year
with a 3.5 grade-point average. She is majoring in psychology, with a
minor in Spanish, and would like to be a school psychologist.
“College is so much better than I expected,” Miller said. “I expected it to
be great because you experience so much in such a short time. It has been
one of the greatest experiences of my life.”
Even the physiology and anatomy class she took as a freshman turned out to
be a positive experience. “It probably was the hardest class I’ve ever taken,”
she said. “Looking back, though, I’m really glad I took the class because it
taught me some good study habits and taught me how to focus.”
Miller said those skills helped her earn both a strong GPA – and an
invitation to the “Realizing the Dream” banquet in Indianapolis where she
was honored along with 30 other sophomores from private colleges in the
state.
The program is made possible by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to the
IndependentCollegesofIndiana.Recipientsoftheawardreceivea$2,000
scholarshipandthestudent’s“mostinfluentialteacher”receives$1,000.
Miller took her guidance counselor from Fairfield Community Schools,
Jackie Clayton, to the banquet. “She really was the most influential person
in my life when it came to preparing me for college,” she said. “She told me
it was a lot of work and cost a lot of money, but she convinced me I could
do it.”
Miller is proving both her family and her guidance counselor correct.

Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
~John Wesley’s Rule
A full statue of John Wesley is situated on
the academic quadrangle in Marion.
