Asbury University
was proud to receive
recognition this fall
as the No. 1-ranked
college in the South in the
“U.S. News & World Report”
annual regional college listings.
This affirmation of our excellence
in equipping men and women for a
lifetime of learning, leadership and
service is certainly deeply appreciated.
At the end of the
day, however, it’s
not about a No. 1
ranking. It’s about one
professor taking extra time
with a student; one athlete
putting in one more hour
in the weight room; one
more math problem or
essay before turning in
for the night; one more
prayer for the friend, the
neighbor, the church, the
world. It’s about one more
alum, friend and supporter
around the world making a
difference right where they live, one person at a time.
It’s about one Spirit, one Son and one Father
who loves us. Thank you for making Asbury
University a respected, valued, supported
place with one purpose:
His glory.

President’s Message:
The Kingdom Comes in Our Minds and Hearts
W
hile planning for a long flight to South Korea in May,
I picked up one of my all-time favorite books from
my early Christian reading. It was E. Stanley Jones’
book,“The Unshakable Kingdom and Unchanging Christ.” The
title penetrated my spirit with a certainty of Truth. Certainly
Christ’s Kingdom is unshakable and He is unchanging. The
16-hour flight provided opportunity to soak in thought about
the Kingdom and launched me into a summer of prayer,
study and writing about the Kingdom. As the new academic
year began, my opening convocation messages naturally
formed from this deep soaking in of Kingdom realities.
The Kingdom of God is a key teaching of the New
Testament. And, although these words are not used in the
Old Testament, it unmistakably includes the Kingship of
God. Jesus tells us the Kingdom is “at hand” and “in your
midst,” and as His disciples we are instructed to “seek first
the Kingdom of God.” When we pray the Lord’s Prayer,
we literally invite His Kingdom to come and rule the
earth. Implicit in this idea of the Kingdom of God is the
understanding that we, as Christian believers, comprise the
citizens of this now-and-not-yet principle.
“...the Asbury community offers a necessary
environment of faith and love in which
Kingdom thinking can grow and flourish. “
The Kingdom of God takes on further application in the
context of the life of the mind — something we are
very intentional about at Asbury University. In order to
carry out Kingdom work, we must first learn to think
Kingdom-centric thoughts. First Corinthians 2:16 says
we have the mind of Christ — a sobering but wonderful
reality. And in Romans, Paul encourages his readers, “Do
not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what
the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable
and perfect” (Romans 12:2). This theme runs throughout
Scripture, and it’s impossible to deny that what happens
in our minds ultimately affects everything. It reminds us we
need to invite the Holy Spirit daily to guide and shape our
each and every thought.
While to be in community at Asbury involves many
experiences, the first priority here is to learn. Students are
challenged to “be a ready people for the waiting world.”
They must set aside adequate time and resources to
develop intellectually and prepare for a lifetime of learning,
leadership and service that will extend long after their
degree is completed. Thanks to the faithful, generous and
often sacrificial support of the alumni, families and friends
of Asbury, our students can experience amazing growth in
their minds and hearts throughout their college years. My
gratitude for this giving community cannot be overstated.
In truth, the Asbury community offers a necessary
environment of faith and love in which Kingdom thinking
can grow and flourish. The more we journey with Christ, the
more we think like Him. His way of thinking begins to invade
ours, and as we learn to think His thoughts, we see His
world and the people He created with new eyes. His vision
becomes our passion, and the Kingdom comes a bit closer.
As we approach the end of one year and celebrate the
beginning of another, I pray
Asbury would embrace
the ways of the Lord and
allow Him to reign over
all our thinking. May the
Kingdom come in our
minds and hearts, to great
effect for the world He
loves. Safe travels to you
and yours this Thanksgiving
and Christmas, and happy
reading along the way.

Asbury University’s men’s and women’s lacrosse teams will
begin their inaugural season this spring, and though lacrosse
continues to be one of America’s fastest-growing sports, we
thought it might be a good idea to take a brief look at AU’s
newest sport (for those that might not be totally familiar).
Helmet (aka “lid”)
Asbury’s will be matte grey with a purple visor and chin piece.
Note: Women’s teams wear protective eye gear instead of a helmet,
as no checking is allowed in the women’s game.
Ball
Mouthguard
Small, hard rubber ball.
Fastest recorded shot
is 119 mph.
Sticks, elbows and a rubber ball traveling
upwards of 70 or 80 mph.
Shoulder pads
Sticks

(aka “Twig,”
“Spoon” or “Wand”)
Different types for different
players. Short sticks for
offensive players (mostly), long
poles for defensemen and bigger
nets that are middle of the road
in length for goalies. Mostly
made of various metals but also
may be made of carbon fiber and
wood.
Heavy checks come fast and often.
Arm pads
Padding over the elbows to
protect them (and those
they come in contact with).
Gloves
Often custom made. Ever had

The Game:
The sport, the oldest-known athletic game played
in North America, was originally called “baggataway.”
by Native Americans that played it long before Columbus
discovered the New World. There are 10 players for each
team (goalie, three attackmen, three midfielders and three defensemen) and the
objective is to score by shooting the ball into an opponent’s goal (counting as one
point). Matches last four quarters that are 15 minutes long for men,
and two 30-minute halves for women. Men’s and women’s fields
can be slightly different. Here is a look at a men’s playing field:

Opportunity
A
Media Communication students travel to China to
cover the Youth Olympics in a whole new way and
build relationships around the globe.
sbury University’s long-standing relationship with
the Olympic Games has allowed hundreds of
Media Communication majors to travel the world
and utilize classroom skills in a professional environment.
Not only do students walk away with an unparalleled
résumé bullet and real-world technical training, they
also experience the opportunity of a lifetime working in
Olympic venues alongside some of the worlds greatest
athletes and media professionals.
This year, Asbury furthered its Olympic involvement by
sending students and alumni to the second summer
Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China. The Youth Olympics
bring together talented athletes from around the world,
ages 15-18, to compete at a professional level. The
sporting event takes place in a 12-day period and includes
competitions in all 28 Olympic sports. Since many of these
athletes will ultimately compete in the 2016 Olympic
Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the program includes a
variety of opportunities away from the field of play to
learn about Olympic values, experience other cultures
and develop the skills to be ambassadors for their sports.
These opportunities came from workshops, teambuilding
activities and other interactive exercises.
Asbury’s team included five students, two alumni, a
graduate student and Dr. Jim Owens, Asbury’s Dean of
Communication Arts. They spent a total of three weeks

in Nanjing, one week for training and two for the actual
Games. Half of the team contributed to the educational
development aspect of the Games by leading a series
of media workshops for the athletes with the goal of
teaching them the best way to tell their story.
“This was really different than anything we’ve ever done
before,” Owens said.
More than 200 athletes from 76 different countries
attended the workshops that focused on shooting and
editing a story. With the help of 80 Panasonic cameras
that were donated for the athletes to use free of charge,
athletes got to professionally capture their personal
Olympic story. As a result, seven videos that athletes shot
about their experience were picked up by professional
outlets and broadcasted across the globe.
“These kids loved it. It was like summer camp on steroids,”
Owens said.
The other half of the Asbury team worked as loggers
for various sports. In other words, they watched an
assigned sport and logged all relevant information, such
as goals scored, fouls and statistics. The level of technical
understanding that was required stretched students to
quickly become fluent in sports they may have never
seen before. Senior Kajsa Swanson walked away with
she said. “I don’t know if I’ll get
the opportunity at other jobs to
become friends and work with
media professionals from Italy,
England, Australia, Greece, Russia,
and Hong Kong.”
knowledge of sports she never
expected to know so much about.
“We had to know the sports we
were assigned to really well, so I
became a pro at taekwondo and
boxing,” Swanson said.
These international relationships are
also an amazing networking tool.
In addition to technical
understanding, logging requires a
significant amount of patience and
stamina. Senior Tyler Garden says
the job itself was the most difficult
part of the trip.
“It requires long hours of intense
concentration without so much as
a bathroom break,” he said. “The
first couple days were especially
hard. But once you get it, it’s a big
confidence booster, and the more
sports you learn how to log, the
better you are at it in general.”
“I have friends all over the world
now... and they are good contacts
for future jobs, as well,” Garden said.
“This job was definitely a foot in
the door. Working for the Olympics
looks good on any resume,
and they are a company that is
internationally respected.”
Andrew Wingert ’13 attaches a camera onto a
BMX bike that was used in the welcome ceremony
at the Olympic Village. The camera captured
point-of-view video of the ceremony attended by
more than 1,500 athletes and coaches.
Other challenges came in the form
of travel hurdles and drastic cultural
differences. Most notably, the food the team needed to
fuel up after a hard day of work was anything but familiar.
Prawn flavored Lays potato chips and shrimp with the
eyeballs still intact are just a few of the cuisine surprises the
student encountered.
Not only are the Olympics
respected, they are renowned for
their ability to unite the globe,
even in the midst of international
turmoil. One of the simplest ways
this was demonstrated at the Youth
Olympics in China was through
many spontaneous jump rope breaks. Volunteers would
start to jump rope and were often joined by a diverse
group of friends.
Regardless, this trip
was unanimously the
most personal Olympic
experience yet. Because
of the nature of the jobs,
students were able to build
relationships with athletes
and co-workers from around
the globe. There were even instances when the athletes
were so thankful for the experience that the Asbury
students gave them they brought them one of their team’s
jerseys. For senior Rachel Lautzenheiser, the people she
met were one of the most valuable parts about the trip.
“What was cool is the athletes
would start jumping in.
Sometimes you’d have
people from five countries
all jumping rope, laughing
hilariously and goofing off,”
Owens said. “At one point
there were four continents
represented jumping rope
at the same time. You would
see Russian and Ukrainian students and you were just
thinking, ‘Wow, their countries are at war and they’re out
here having a blast.’ It was so neat to see if you can get
these kids away from politics, they were kids. They were
having fun together.”
“I made some awesome friends while I was over in
Nanjing, from the local loggers, to my supervisors,”
It is this picture that defines Asbury’s trip to the Youth
Olympics better than words ever could.
“I have friends all
over the world now...
and they are good
contacts for future
jobs, as well.”
KINGDOM
COME
Celebrating the
gifts that support
the mission of
training students
to serve Jesus.
— by Rebekah Daniel
Depending on who is speaking, the phrase “Kingdom Come” means
different things. Most literally, it is an invitation for God to rule on earth as
He does in heaven, as demonstrated by Jesus’ prayer in Matthew 6. In other
corners of the culture, it is a song title, a film, a band, a festival, a series of graphic novels,
a ranch in Colorado and a beach cottage in Florida. It also can be a very, very long way to
run — a subtle and sad indication of just how far away many people perceive the Kingdom to be.

At Asbury, “Kingdom Come” is both a present reality supported
by the gifts of God’s people and a plea from
believing hearts to see the rule of the
Redeemer become more visible
around them. We pray
for His Kingdom to
come closer even as
we acknowledge the
truth that insofar as we surrender
to the holy love of Jesus, His
Kingdom is already here.
10
In August, Dr. Sandra C. Gray, president
of Asbury University, began the Fall
2014 semester with an academic
convocation message that explored
what it means to seek the Kingdom as
a community committed to learning.
“Most of us think of kingdoms as
geographical entities, of physical
realms with physical boundaries, with
defenses, with treasuries,” she said.
“But the Kingdom of God is a rule; it’s
not a realm. It is the declaration of
God’s absolute power and His total
rule of life in this world and the next.
To be Kingdom-minded is to seek that
which is larger than ourselves.”
President Sandra C. Gray delivered her message on seeking the Kingdom at the
Fall 2014 academic convocation, the first Chapel of the academic school year.
Jesus’ contemporaries struggled
with this idea of “Kingdom come.”
Through long years of diaspora and subjugation, with
centuries to dwell on the ways they had failed their holy
God, they longed to re-establish His Kingdom on earth.
Next time, they thought, they would get it right. The
idea that God’s Kingdom could be a rule of
the Spirit attainable for tax collectors and
prostitutes but out of reach for the rich…
that was incomprehensibly radical.

It’s still radical. But at Asbury, the truth of it is
abundantly visible.

their classmate, Solomon Lasoi. Lasoi was tragically killed
in his native country of Kenya more than 20 years ago; the
generosity of his classmates, however, ensures his legacy
continues to impact current and future students at Asbury.
“To be Kingdom-minded is
to seek that which is larger
than ourselves.”
One of the ways Asbury sees the Kingdom
come is through prayers offered, time spent, resources
invested and relationships nurtured. Asbury’s mission is
to train people to establish the Kingdom with their gifts,
service and love, so this support builds the Kingdom, as
well. Whether it is the group of retired faculty who meet
monthly in Wilmore to pray for the University; the staff,
faculty and community members who “adopt” a student
to share life over meals and Bible study through the
Women in Ministry and Leadership program; or the many
examples of friends of the University who give sacrificially
to support its work even without a family or alumni
connection, the Kingdom comes through giving.
For example, the Class of 1969 collected funds over several
years to fully fund an endowed scholarship in memory of
— Dr. Sandra C. Gray
Marc “Spanky” Wilson ’90 reached out in another way,
by inviting eight new freshmen and their families for a
picnic at his home before the fall semester began. With
this investment of time, hamburgers and hotdogs, he was
able to ease a few pre-college jitters, reassure parents that
their children were in a place that truly values community
and lay the foundation for enduring relationships.
Another way the Kingdom comes is through the Spirit
inside Asburians — faculty, staff, students and alumni —
taking shape in the world outside.

the Highbridge Film Festival, an annual showcase that
takes place each spring on campus. A film fan since
New students were treated to the results of an academic

Finally, the educational mission of Asbury

to witness the Kingdom come when the
community seeks knowledge together.
This happens frequently in the alumni

contributions to their fields in the arts,
sciences, business, communication and
social-service industries. It doesn’t begin
there, however.

Moving Forward
ONE can make ALL the difference
T
he Biblical narrative offers many examples of the
idea that a single person can change the course
of events in ways that greatly impact other
people — beginning, of course, in the Garden of Eden
with Adam and Eve. Throughout the Bible, we find the
same story: when it comes to matters of faith, God can
use one person to achieve big results. The committed
faithfulness of Noah was rewarded with an opportunity
for a fresh start; the courage and obedience of Joshua
won for the Israelites first Jericho, then the Promised
Land; David’s confidence in his God enabled him to
defeat Goliath and, over the course of his life, return
again and again to God’s presence to sing praises of the
mercy he found there.
At Asbury, the story is the same. One man’s vision for a
“distinctively religious school” has become a respected
institution that has made a real and lasting difference in
the Kingdom of God. One student’s confession sparked
a revival that drew thousands into a deeper experience
of the love of Jesus. Nearly every alum recognizes the
potential of just one faculty member to touch a student’s
mind and heart. Some of their names — Dr. Hamann, Dr.
Ray, Coach Pritchett, Coach Zweifel, and many others —
are recognized by many. Other faculty serve under the
radar for now, building a legacy that may only be fully
appreciated years in the future. As we work toward the
advancement of Asbury University, we have also seen
time after time that one gift,
offered with prayer and love,
can make all the difference.
Thank you for giving and
serving with us!

N
early 15 years ago, Mike and Laurie Ramsey
’81 Jaffe welcomed their daughter,
Lillian, into the world and marveled at
her beauty. For a few precious weeks, their
biggest problem was getting enough sleep
with a newborn at home. Unfortunately,
they soon discovered that their daughter
had a challenging health condition,
particularly for a baby: diabetes.
“By fluke, Lilly was diagnosed through
a routine urine test at her one-month
check up,” Laurie said. “That day
our lives changed completely. We
were devastated, afraid and felt
swallowed up by a disease that we
knew nothing about.
“We tried to maintain a sense of
normalcy in our home, but the
disease took its toll on our family.
The demanding presence of
diabetes was in many ways like
having another child to care for.”
They did the best they could to
adapt, eventually finding some
stability by putting Lilly on an
insulin pump and checking her
blood sugar as many as a dozen
times throughout the day. Years
passed. A breakthrough came after
18
Alumni Profile
Mike attended a presentation by Dr. Lou Philipson, an
endocrinologist, describing a new treatment for a very
specific form of diabetes. A genetic test revealed that Lilly
was a candidate for an oral drug treatment, and on Aug.
23, 2006, Lilly became insulin-independent.
“What we witnessed was truly the gradual unfolding of a
miracle — scientific brilliance guided by the hand of God,”
Laurie said. “It was humbling and amazing to see our
daughter’s body steadily respond to the medication and
function on its own.”
at the University of Chicago’s Kovler Diabetes Center. She
also supports and advises the By the Hand Club for Kids,
an after-school program in inner-city Chicago that serves
at-risk children academically, physically and spiritually.
“I had wonderful leadership opportunities at Asbury
that helped prepare me for various roles throughout
the past 30-something years,” Laurie said. “I’m very
motivated to play a small part in helping others find
abundant life, in all of its dimensions.”
Knowing the impact this discovery had made on their lives,
Laurie and Mike felt compelled to spread the word. The
form of diabetes that can be treated with this medication
is called monogenic diabetes, and while not everyone with
diabetes has this form, the opportunity to come off insulin
injections represents a dramatic increase in quality of life
for those who do. They joined with an award-winning
production team to help create a documentary called
“Journey to a Miracle: Freedom from Insulin,” which will
premiere in Chicago in January 2015. Lilly’s story also has
been picked up by CNN, “People” magazine, newspapers,
television stations, radio and print media.
Today, Laurie uses her skills in advocacy and commitment
to help children achieve their potential in a variety of
ways. She is a founding member of the Leadership Board
Laurie Jaffe ‘81 has used the leadership skills she
learned at Asbury to advocate for children with
medical and educational needs.
No More Needles
Popular conversation about diabetes
usually refers to either type 1 diabetes
(a condition in which the body attacks
and kills the beta cells of the pancreas,
which produce insulin) or type 2
diabetes (a condition thought to be
triggered by gaps in nutrition or activity
which lead to insulin resistance and
inadequate insulin production). Lilly
Jaffe’s condition, called monogenic
diabetes, is caused by a mutation in
one of the genes now known to be
associated with the disease. Because
of the specific nature of her condition,
she can be treated with sulfonylurea
pills, which alter the chemistry in the
pancreatic beta cells to stimulate them
to release higher amounts of insulin.
While the number of monogenic
diabetics is small compared to the
total group, it’s possible that some
people have been misdiagnosed and
could benefit from the less intrusive
treatment. Research continues to
further explore the genetic component
of diabetes to enable doctors to
diagnose more accurately.

Taking the Initiative
Thanks to the Initiative Grant program, Asbury students
experience unique views of the world
A
sbury University takes pride
in encouraging students to
explore the world through
cross-cultural experiences. Every year,
hundreds of students travel the globe
to share the gospel and serve people.
One way Asbury helps to make
this possible is through the Asbury
Initiative Grant.
The Asbury Initiative Grant is a grant
awarded to several upperclassmen
each year that covers up to $10,000
toward expenses for a volunteer
service project the student has
chosen. To date, the grant has funded
projects for more than 151 students in
52 different countries.

Senior Elijah
Friedeman
was a recipient
of the Asbury
Initiative Grant
this year and
spent seven weeks
in the Highlands of
Papua New Guinea,
where he helped
record an audio
Bible in Angalen
En, a local tribal
language. While he was there, the
team recorded 10 books of the New
Testament and edited large portions
of what was recorded.
According to Friedeman, Papua
New Guinea has approximately 850
languages, many of which have no
written forms.
Over the past
few decades, a
missionary has
translated the New
Testament into Angalen En; however, only a
handful of Angalen En speakers can
read the language. Consequently, the
vast majority of native speakers cannot
experience the Bible in their “heart”
language. The Bible recording, when
completed, will be loaded onto solarpowered audio players and distributed
to Angalen En speakers.
Because Friedeman was one of
only three westerners in the area,
he struggled with being able to
communicate beyond a few simple
phrases in their language.
Initiative Grant Recipients
“I had to find ways to overcome
the communication barrier, which
stretched me, but also forced me to
engage residents of the Southern
Highlands in their lives and activities,”
Friedeman said. “I spent a lot more
time praying than I typically do.
Because I felt isolated from other
people, I turned to God and found
peace in Him.”
That peace allowed him to be
successful despite the many
challenges and create lasting work
that will help the community grow
closer to Christ.
“The Bible recordings will be used to
bring the teachings of Scripture in a
fresh way to a culture that is rife with
syncretism and culturally acceptable
immorality. (As a result), the Kingdom
of God has been proclaimed and
expanded,” Friedeman said.
Senior Tyler Wilson was another
recipient of the Asbury Initiative
Grant this year and spent his summer
teaching English at a Christian
school in Chincha Alta, Peru. Wilson
says that his time in Peru was one
of the hardest experiences he’s ever
had due to language
differences, yet focusing on
the spiritual discipline of
contemplation made the
time rewarding also.
and will be a different person because
of the trip,” Wilson said.
Both Friedeman and Wilson say
they’ve been changed through
their experiences and are confident
in the impact they’ve had on the
communities where they served.
They each recognize the
“When I would spend
some time sitting
quietly, praying, going
for a walk or journaling,
it would allow me to
decompress from my
day properly and
process my day and
my emotional state,”
Wilson said.
A focus on
contemplation
contributed to the
success Wilson had
as a teacher, but
the students and
people of Peru
taught him much,
as well.
“It will
undoubtedly
influence my
future in the
sense that I am
grant as an
opportunity to do something they would never have
had the chance to do otherwise.
“I am incredibly thankful on behalf
of myself and so many others that
Asbury provides this ridiculously
good opportunity for students,”
Wilson said. “It is, in the truest sense
of the word, a blessing.”

Student Profile
Helping
Hands
Several Asburians work together
to secure a student’s college dream
by Sarah Christian Choate ‘16
Susanna Hall
is a freshman from
Frankfort, Ky., studying
Biology with plans to go into medicine. This time last year,
however, Asbury did not seem like an option for her. Hall
has found herself rising against the odds due to God’s
goodness, generous aid and attentive, prayerful Asburians
who have reached out to help.
A home-schooled student who lived not far from Wilmore,
Hall enrolled in Asbury Academy, a program specially
designed for high school students looking for a challenge
and hoping to earn college credit. Hall’s experience with
the Academy program — and its director, Kim Okesson —
was a good one, and as she searched for an education, she
kept feeling drawn back to Asbury. However, Hall’s family
had special circumstances regarding financial aid, which
made it impossible for them to apply for state and/or
federal assistance.
Continuing to pursue Asbury, Hall participated in
Asbury’s scholarship weekend and received an academic
scholarship. She reached out to Asbury’s Financial Aid
Office to explore other options and was able to earn
swimming and piano scholarships. The final piece fell
into place when a recording of a speech she gave during
the scholarship weekend was heard by the University
administration, who felt an additional scholarship and
grant might be possible.
Hall was overwhelmed by the efforts of people at Asbury to
make college an option. She was drawn to the smaller size,
community and the intentional, Christian atmosphere she
saw Asbury professors create in the classroom.
“The entire Asbury community really cares about the
students and are passionate about them learning and not
falling behind,” Hall said.
Currently, Hall finds herself involved in a number of
activities on campus. She excels in her classes, is on the
swim team, plays piano under the direction of Dr. Don
Zent, works as the publicist for her class cabinet, performs
with a handbell trio and participates in various other
groups on campus. Hall remains grateful for the way God
worked through Asbury’s faculty and staff to secure her
place as a member of the Asbury community.

Investing for the Long Term
A
Photo by: Danelle Alexis Photography
sbury University’s pastoral
home in Jessamine County, Ky.,
is a long walk from Dr. Geri Polvino’s
hometown of Rochester, N.Y. What
drew her to Kentucky as a graduate
student, however, is what keeps her
here today: opportunities.
First there was the opportunity to
study exercise science and, after
completing a doctoral degree in
Iowa, to teach, conduct research and
coach volleyball at Eastern Kentucky
University. The success Polvino found
there — her teams won nine Ohio
Valley Conference championships,
and she was named coach of the
year eight times — led to another
opportunity: to become the first
female instructor of coaches for the
International Volleyball Association.
After retiring from education, Polvino
took on an opportunity to teach in a
different context as a financial advisor.
The concepts of building a team for
success have proved to be just as
applicable in the investment world as
they were on the volleyball court.
“Learning is a lifelong activity, and
once you catch that enthusiasm for
learning, which you get from a
university, it keeps you engaged
and relevant the rest of your
life,” she said. “Learning is
always evolving.”
Over time, Polvino has
developed relationships with
Asbury students, faculty
and staff that have introduced
opportunities to invest in the future
of the University and its students.
Some arose through Asbury’s
participation in the Jessamine County
Chamber of Commerce; others came
through shared interests, such as her
friendship with the late Rita Pritchett
’69, longtime volleyball coach at
Asbury. Learning about different
“A school like Asbury is a jewel
among them all. It’s a place
where so much happens, and in
such a subtle manner. I like to be a part of supporting that.”
aspects of life at Asbury, from the new
Howard Dayton School of Business to
the growing reputation of the School
of Communication Arts, has united
her interests in investing resources
and time in young adults.
“Asbury is a very interesting place
with very interesting people,” Polvino
said. “It has a life about it, and the
people fuel that spirit and life. Our
universities in the United States are
perceived as the best in the world,
which I sometimes take for granted.
A school like Asbury is a jewel among
them all. It’s a place where so much
happens, and in such a subtle manner.
I like to be a part of supporting that.”
Dr. Geri Polvino, a financial advisor and philanthropist, increases academic opportunities
in her community through the funding of scholarships for business students.

Students.
• After you have set up a monthly gift, you don’t have to think
about it anymore; it just happens automatically.
• For many donors, if they give smaller amounts monthly, they usually
end up giving more during the year. (Example: Write a one-time
check for $100 or give $10 a month for $120 in total annual giving!)
• If you are on a budget, it’s a great way to make a significant gift over time.
• Monthly gifts are a source of revenue that we can count on and help our budgeting.
• Giving monthly cuts down on fundraising costs for mailings and phone calls.
• It also helps our Vice President for Institutional Advancement sleep better
knowing there are so many committed donors!
All the above is true, but it is really our students that benefit the most. Your smaller
monthly gifts will make a major annual impact, helping our students have the best
possible education and spiritual experience at Asbury.
It is EASY…just go to asbury.edu/givemonthly to print out the enrollment form.

During the 2013-14 academic year,
Asbury University presented alumni,
parents and friends with a bold
opportunity to directly impact
students in an unprecedented
way. The “1325: A Gift for Every
Student” initiative challenged 1,325
donors to increase their gift to The
Fund for Asbury University (the
University’s general scholarship
fund). The response was incredible
— more than 1,700 responded to
the challenge and helped Asbury
raise $1.6 million in scholarship
support. This generosity
demonstrates the strength and
potential of a Christ-centered
community!
* Represents the increased portion of donors’ gifts to the
Fund for Asbury University during the previous year.

The Heart of
Community
2015 Reunion Class Gift:
Student Center Upgrades
Since 1927, the Morrison-Kenyon Library has stood at the center of
academic life for generations of Asburians. Following the completion
of the Kinlaw Library in 2001, this historic building was given a new
purpose: to serve as the Student Center – students call it “The Stuce”
– the hub of Asbury University’s vital student community life.
In recent years, areas of the Student Center have been renovated, and
now include a coffee shop (The Hiccup Cafe), gathering areas, game
rooms and student government offices. Yet much more remains to be
completed. Your support of the 2015 Reunion Gift Project will provide
the much-needed upgrades to the Student Center, ensuring future
generations can experience the life-changing power of community
that Asbury provides.
Watch the video and learn more at:
asbury.edu/reuniongift
Reunion 2015 is June 25–28.
Registration information will be in the Spring 2015 Ambassador.

Establishing an
Estate Plan
Karl and Dorothy G. Crowe, a pastor and a teacher from the
Class of 1951, knew the impact of education and ministry in the
lives of young people. Throughout their 50-plus years of marriage,
they carefully saved whenever possible so they could support
organizations they knew could make a difference. Today, through
their foresight and generosity, their estate continues to bless the
students of Asbury University even beyond their earthly lives, by
providing scholarship support to education and ministry students.
Regardless of your age, you also can leave a legacy to support future
generations of Asburians through a simple provision in your estate
plan. Bequests allow you to retain control of your assets during your
lifetime while also leaving a lasting legacy at Asbury University.
Should you be interested in providing for the University in your estate plan, or if you have already done so, please
contact Rev. Stu Smith ‘77, senior planned giving officer, at [email protected] or call (859) 858-3511, x2350

Going Further
Asbury’s noteworthy foundation of rigorous academics serves well
those students who pursue advance degrees, whether at Asbury
or elsewhere. These three young alumni demonstrate just a few of
the many ways Asbury prepares men and women for “a lifetime of
learning, leadership and service.”
S
eth Van Der Eems ‘14 came to Asbury to study filmmaking because he was
interested in the aesthetics of film, but he found his true home in the Art
Department, where he eventually settled on drawing as his preferred medium.
“Asbury is a wonderful place where you can take your passion and run with it,”
Van Der Eems said. “We are small, but there is room for relationship between
students and faculty, and they’re able to speak into your work because
they know you.”
Van Der Eems brought with him a foundation in Christian
education that prepared him for the close collaboration
between faculty and students; he further enjoyed the
opportunity to learn about a broad range of subjects
and apply that understanding to his art.
This fall, Van Der Eems and his wife, Kristina,
moved to Boston, where he is working
toward his master of fine art degree
at the School for the Museum of
Fine Art. His ultimate goal is to live
as a working artist and teacher,
sharing his unique vision of the
world in ways that draw people into
contemplation of the Creator.
“To be an artist is to be a missionary,
particularly in the United States,” he
said. “My work is not pictures of Jesus
or even abstract pictures of Jesus, but there
are grounding theories in my assumptions that are
traditionally orthodox on art and beauty.”

t first, she wanted to be an astronaut, but the
grounding of the space shuttle program put an end
to that goal. Now, she might end up being the person
who finds a cure for cancer.
Cali Thomas ‘14, a computational math major at
Asbury, is at the University of Kansas working toward her
master’s and doctorate degrees in computational biology
and bioinformatics, an interdisciplinary field in which
researchers use math to study math processes and human
health. Part of Thomas’s success in being admitted to
the prestigious program is the preparation she received
at Asbury — not only the one-on-one mentoring and
academic advising she received, but also an educational
environment focused on true understanding.
“With the small classes in math, you can’t scrape by,” she
said. “The professors are aware if you don’t know what’s
going on because you’re one of five, not 50.”
Another part of her success is old-fashioned hard work.
In addition to studying for classes, Thomas helped other
students with math problems in the tutoring lab and
competed in the annual math modeling weekend for
three years. Other weekends were filled with athletic
competition as she participated on Asbury’s swim team.
“When you have people who are excited to be there and
challenge each other in a friendly way, it’s easier,” she
said. “We push each other in the pool and in class, but we
have a real camaraderie.”
Ultimately, Thomas would like to do pharmaceutical and
cancer research, testing which compounds are most
effective against certain types of tumors.
I
t would be difficult to summarize the experiences
that shaped Caleb Wheat ‘14 during his years at
Asbury, but there’s one memory that comes close:
“I was speaking in Chapel for the first time at the
beginning of my junior year as Vice President of
Spiritual Life,” he said. “I struggled with that sermon.
Two years later, I got to preach at Senior Chapel. I
looked back at those two years and realized how the
experience of Asbury has shaped me. I was much
further in my faith than when I arrived.”
In addition to classroom preparation for ministry,
Wheat put what he’d learned into practice in the
context of Asbury community life. Serving as class
chaplain led to the opportunity to plan the class
sophomore retreat, and during his junior year, he
took on the challenge of serving as Vice President of
Spiritual Life in the student congress.
Graduation might have marked the end of one season
of Wheat’s life, but it also signified the beginning of far
more. By the time Christmas arrives this year, he will
be married, working as an associate pastor at a United
Methodist church in Elizabethtown, Ky., and have his
first semester of seminary in the record books. In the
meantime, his Asbury education continues, with his
fellow alumni taking the role of professors.
“I want to hear their thoughts on everything
happening in the Church,” he said. “I want to hear
what they celebrate and lament; I want to pick their
brains. I want to learn how these other men and
women have borne the burden. You can never stop
learning how to be a pastor.”

“Do your little bit of good where you are;
it’s those little bits of good put together
that overwhelm the world.” – Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Each and every year, thousands of Asbury alumni, parents
and friends give their “little bit” to The Fund for Asbury
University. Through gifts both large and small, they together
equal a significant gift to support student scholarships.
Last year, 2,221 donors gave
$1,586,386 to student scholarships.
All those “little bits” together made a tremendous impact
on our students. When your generous gifts are coupled
with the God given talents of our faculty and staff, the next
generation of leaders are prepared both spiritually and
intellectually to “overwhelm” the world with the Gospel of
Jesus Christ.
Thank you so much for the role you play in making an Asbury
education a reality for so many young people.

Alumni Profile
Mission Field: Living Room
“Business as mission” is a popular phrase around Asbury’s
campus this year as the new Howard Dayton School of
Business continues to grow and the University launches an
online MBA degree. Alumni Ryan ‘02 and Lacey Savage
’04 Edwards are demonstrating, however, that a Kingdom
approach to business is a well-established philosophy
throughout the institution.
Ryan works for an organization called Apartment Life, a
faith-based nonprofit that builds community in apartment
complexes across the United States. Apartment Life
provides the CARES program to the apartment industry
as a community-building and resident-retention strategy.
Management companies like it because it makes good
business sense; Ryan loves it because it’s an opportunity
for missionally minded Christians to build the Kingdom of
God by loving their neighbors.
“We have a huge mission field in our back yard,” he said.
“Ninety-five percent of the people who live in apartment
complexes are not engaged with God or in a church. What
we need is not so much information or sermons, but for
followers of Christ to live out their faith in tangible ways.”
Ryan and Lacey got to experience the impact of the
program soon after graduation by serving as a CARES team
in Austin, Texas. Teams coordinate social events, welcome
new residents, provide a caring presence to people having
a hard time and generally walk through daily life — the
95%
good, bad and
ugly — in a way that demonstrates God’s grace and love.
Currently, he is an area vice president for Apartment Life
based in Southern California.
Ryan’s experiences at Asbury, though not directly
business-related, turned out to be the idea preparation for
incarnational ministry in a business setting.
“I was a Psychology major,” he said. “I knew I wanted to
go into some form of ministry, so I asked, ‘What do I need
to know about people?’ It was fantastic training and laid
a great foundation for me. And I want to continue to
maximize the resources God had entrusted me with to
advance the Kingdom and the mission in a way that uses
my passions and talents.”
of the people who live in
apartment complexes are not
engaged with God or in a church.

Asbury University sophomore Nesbert Vaval knows
better than most that the Caribbean island of St. Lucia
lives up to its slogan of “simply beautiful.” He knows that
the famously hospitable citizens of his home country are
becoming even more welcoming as tourism grows. But he
also knows that the relaxed pace of island life is inefficient,
and that a business leader who can combine Christian
values with top-notch skills could impact lives.
Vaval wants to be that business leader, and the John and
Suzanne Coleman Scholarship is going to help him get
there. A talented athlete, Vaval came to Asbury in the
spring of 2013 to join the men’s tennis team. He declared
a business major last year and has found a “home away
from home” in both the athletic program and the Howard
Dayton School of Business, where close relationships
augment his classwork.
“Gaining an education means everything,” he said.
“Tennis was a way in the door, but education will be
the way through. I’ll probably be one of the first in my
immediate family to graduate from college. My parents
are my motivation and my rock, to push through when
things are hard. When my dad heard about the Coleman
Scholarship, it took a burden off his shoulders.”
Vaval is eager to explore different opportunities to put his
cross-cultural experiences and business skills to use for
the benefit of his home island.
“I want to gain as many experiences as I can here and start
equipping young people with good morals to change the
world,” he said. “I want a business that empowers people
rather than enslaves them.
Nesbert Vaval ’17

“Even getting nominated for the scholarship is motivating
and keeps me working hard. You can lose a dream just
from not having the funds, even if you’re working hard.
I’m thankful for God for allowing these people to help me
so I can keep working. He makes a way.”
Impact the World.
Of the many things Andrew Coleman ’98 pays attention
to in his profession, numbers and people rise to the top of
the list. Coleman works as a vice president in the oil and
gas and high-tech divisions at Teradata, a company that
analyzes massive amounts of data to discern profitable
corporate strategies. It’s a position with lots of travel and
long hours, and he loves it.
“I feel like this is what God created me to do,” he said.
“Some people are created for the pulpit, to play baseball,
golf, whatever. I was created to do business. If I was a
missionary, I don’t know that I would have been able to
go where I have. I’ve been able to visit every continent but
Antarctica.”
Coleman’s skills in the relational side of business were
honed at Asbury, when a team of professors in several
disciplines took time to mentor their students. Through
classroom discussions and office-hour conversations, he
learned how business could impact the world.
“I’ve never forgotten what Asbury
meant to me. I thought if I could
ever afford to, even in a small way,
I really wanted to help.”
“I had tons of opportunities – with small classes and profs
that knew me personally – to make presentations, sell
ideas, lead on a small team and follow on a small team,” he
said. “I also remember that when I was there some people
had to take on debt, which I didn’t like... I have never
forgotten what Asbury meant to me. I thought if I could
ever afford to, even in a small way, I really wanted to help.”
Coleman’s financial support of student scholarships, such
as the John and Suzanne Coleman Scholarship – named
after his parents – makes it possible for Asbury students to
purse what God has created them to do, as well.

Let’s Count Our Blessings
We asked members of the Asbury community to share what they are thankful for this year.
The answers vary, but one thing is clear — the Lord has poured out blessings upon His people.
I am thankful to:
be a child of the Most High God.
I am thankful that He is my rock,
my fortress, my shield.
I am thankful to be living and
working, in this time in history,
with students who are the next
generation’s leaders.
I am thankful the Triune God is
calling Asbury University to be a
channel of His transformative work
in the world.
I am thankful for Asburians, past,
present and future, who continue
to let their lights shine for Jesus.
I am thankful for:
my wife and family and four
grandkids — even when I don’t
deserve it, they’re still there for me.
— Jimmy Powers, Staff (Phys. Plant)
I am thankful that:
Asbury
— values good teaching.
— encourages creativity.
— honors diversity of thought
within the evangelical sphere.
— David Wheeler ’99, Faculty
(Journalism)
— Dr. Sandra C. Gray, President
I am thankful for:
my trip to Uganda with the
Initiative Grant — it’s given me a
lot of enormously exciting stories
to tell my Kindergarten art class
while we wait for a project to dry!
— Anna Leon ‘13, Alum
I am thankful for:
I am thankful for:
three great adult children, a
daughter-in-law and a wife who has
been patient with me for 27 years.
I’m thankful I don’t have to have all
the answers, but that God knows the
road ahead and equips us to deal
with whatever is thrown at us.
— Dr. Mark Troyer, V.P. for
Enrollment Management
I am thankful for:
my husband’s strong, won’t stand
for evil, God’s got this, mentality.
He works in a very spiritually dark
place, where he sees corruption
and the stain of Satan on a daily
basis. Despite the risk of losing his
job, he has chosen to take a stand
and fight for what is right. I could
not be more proud and thankful
to have my family led by a man of
such conviction.
— Savannah Montano ‘11, Alum
I am thankful for:
this wonderful creation around us
and the opportunity to travel. The
most beautiful landscapes show
us God’s glory and power and yet
remind us in their destructive
beauty that this world is not
perfect and there is so much more
to come.
— Abby Sams, Staff
(Marketing & Communications)
community and for HICCUP Café ;)
— Sarah Choate ‘16, Student
Bountiful
58
I am thankful for:
Cars; they have been a place where
our family finds belongingness,
happiness and learning. I am
thankful for a miracle-working
God who has opened the windows
of heaven for us and given a house
that is a home, people who are
friends, flowers that bring beauty,
books that enlarge our view of life.
— Yvonne Moulton ’58,
Retired Faculty (English)
I am thankful for:
the alumni in Washington, D.C.
who have helped me feel at home
in a new city.
I’m so thankful as I look back at
the years and see God’s provisional
hand in every part of my life.
I’m thankful this fall, as I look at
the trees losing their leaves, that
they will see new life as they shed
their current ones. It reminds me
of the promise we have in Christ as
we drop our things to follow Him.
I am thankful for:
the Lord’s faithfulness to my family
this past week. My mom wasn’t
expected to live, but the Lord
touched her heart and she is home
now and doing fine.
Thank you, Jesus
— Terry Flewelling, Staff (Phys. Plant)
I am thankful for:
the noise and lack of privacy I have
when I go home for the holidays.
Big families can sometimes be
overwhelming, but after not seeing
them for the majority of the year
it’s the first thing I want and need
come Christmas and summer break.
— Paula Diaz ‘16, Student
I am thankful for:
the life God has seen fit to bless me
with — the good and bad.
— Robert Houp, Staff
(Phys. Plant)
— Anna Giaritelli ‘11, Alum
I am thankful for:
friends that last a lifetime, and
for working in a community that
supports me and prays with me.
— Will Sallee ‘10, Alum/Staff
(Admissions)
I am thankful!
The Lord has everything under
control. Even when I feel like
things are a mess, He knows what is
going on and He has a plan. I can

SAFE AT HOME — Cecil Zweifel held many
titles during his time at Asbury University:
coach, professor, administrator, mentor and
friend. He established Asbury’s intercollegiate
athletics program and coached for decades,
instilling in his students the conviction that the
field of competition was a pulpit, as well. On
October 28, after a long and faithful run around
all of life’s bases, he headed for home.
Good game, Coach, and thank you.
