NEWS BULLETIN OF ROCHESTER COLLEGE
VOLUME 42 NUMBER 2 SPRING 2001
Trustees approve $9.5 million expansion program for campus
Responding to critical facility
needs resulting from unprecedented enrollment growth, the
Board of Trustees of Rochester
College recently approved a dramatic $9.5 million expansion plan
for the campus.
Every square foot of space on
the campus that can be redesigned
for maximum use has been captured and renovated, stated Dr.
Ken Johnson, president of the
college. So far we have been able
to accommodate growth through
that process, but we have exhausted our options.
Over the past few months, college officials completed an extensive study of projected facility
needs as part of the strategic planning process. The resulting re-
port identified several priorities
for new construction.
Classrooms and student housing topped the list as the most
critical needs required to serve a
greater number of students. Offices for new employees, as well
as library space, ranked equally
high on the list of needs.
To fully develop our master
plan for the campus, we would
need $100 million, stated Dr.
Johnson. Consequently, we plan
to develop the campus in phases,
beginning with the plan recently
approved by the board.
Phase one, scheduled to begin
within the next few months, includes the construction of two
facilities and renovation of three
others. Parking areas, athletic
Major Components of Campus Expansion Program
While the expansion program includes a number of minor items,
the following major projects are included in current plans:
Construction of a library and classroom facility
Construction of a residence hall for 110 students
Renovation of the current library building for the College of
Extended Learning and classrooms
Interior renovation of the Westside-Central Auditorium
Interior renovation of the Science Center
Conversion of the former student center for the bookstore
Development of new soccer and softball fields
Construction of additional parking for 324 cars
fields, and a number of smaller
projects also are included in plans
for the immediate future.
We plan to begin construction
on the previously-announced academic facility as soon as we receive final approvals from the
city, stated Mark VanRheenen,
executive vice president. That
facility will house the library and
new classrooms.
Work also is scheduled to begin
this summer on additional parking for 324 cars and on new soccer
and softball fields. College officials plan to begin construction
on a 110-student residence hall
as soon as design work and approvals can be completed.
One of the added blessings of
any construction is the existing
space that can be reassigned after
new buildings are occupied,
stated Dr. Johnson. In this case,
we will be able to totally renovate
the current library building for
the College of Extended Learning
and classroom space.
In addition to a number of minor projects, phase one will include conversion of the former
student center area for the bookstore. The interiors of both the
Westside-Central Auditorium and
the Science Center will be renovated as well.
Our last construction project
transformed the campus in a re-
Completion of the Isom Atrium and Associates Plaza prepares
the college for its next phase of major construction. Projected
facilities for the area south of the atrium and plaza, beginning
with the academic center, will in time result in an outdoor mall.

mall area. See page 6 for more atrium and plaza photos.
markable fashion, Dr. Johnson
commented. Within two more
years, this $9.5 million expansion
will enhance our presence as a
quality institution, while allowing us to serve the larger number
of students coming our way.
First phase of campaign targets academic center
College officials recently finalized plans to launch the public
phase of a $4.4 million capital
campaign at Partnership Dinner
on May 12, 2001. Entitled Catch
the Vision, the campaign is designed to fund construction of the
first phase of a new academic fa-
cility and renovation of the existing library building.
For several months, we have
been working with key donors on
the silent phase of the campaign,
stated Doug Edwards, vice president for development. The Isom
and Ham families provided the
Renderings of the library interior project a distinguished appearance.
cornerstone for that effort when
each made $1 million commitments to the campaign.
The Isom commitment included a challenge to friends of
the college. By fall, the Board of
Trustees, National Advancement
Board, and employees each surpassed their individual goals, leaving $1 million to be raised among
other groups in order to meet the
challenge.
Over the next few months, college personnel plan to conduct
individual campaigns among
alumni, college friends in three
regions, foundations, and the
Rochester community. They must
meet the challenge goal by March
of 2002, and plan to secure the
remainder of the campaign funds
by the following December.
We have a great deal of work
ahead of us, stated Mr. Edwards.
Fortunately we are going to be
able to employ a new director of
capital campaigns to help with
those efforts as a result of a recent foundation gift.
The planned academic facility,
which anchors a $9.5 million campus expansion program, will
house the college library, a thirtystation computer lab, and five
spacious classrooms equipped
with full technology.
The Muirhead Library, built in
1965, totals about 5,000 square
feet and seats only about onethird the number of persons recommended by the American Library Association. Even with
space-saving technologies and
media, the library has grown beyond its capacity.
Initially, the library will occupy
a little over half of 17,500 square
feet in the new academic facility.
Seating will triple, and the library
will be able to expand into other
areas of the building as additional
facilities are constructed.
Our entire academic program
will be enhanced by the new construction project, stated Dr. Ken
Johnson, president. It will provide an appropriate hub for the
entire campus community.

NORTH STAR
Foundation approves $246,000 grant
Plans point to
unprecedented
progress over
next decade
Dear Friends,
All signs indicate that Rochester College is on the verge of
substantial progress. The strength of the faculty is increasing
rapidly. The scope of academic programs is expanding nicely.
The student body is growing in number as fast as we can handle.
The infrastructure required to launch new pieces of our strategic plan is falling into place.
We attribute our progress to Gods timing. He has assembled a
highly-qualified administrative team. He has been sending
fantastic persons for our faculty and staff. He is touching the
hearts of friends to provide resources to accomplish what He
wants done with the college. Our task is to listen responsibly, to
consider prayerfully, and to move ahead wisely, making sure
that we proceed within His will.
For more than forty years, many have been dreaming of the
experiences that all soon will enjoy. During the next decade we
shall see more construction on the campus than at any time
since the founding decade.
I am pleased that the cooperative spirit among those striving to
build a strong Christian college in Rochester is as joyful as the
cooperative spirit recorded in Nehemiah 3, where the biblical
record tells the names of many persons who accepted responsibility for reconstructing certain sections of the Jerusalem wall,
for certain doorways in the wall, for beams and bolts. Nehemiah
tells how individuals and groups built towers and gates, or
installed locks and bars. Together, the group effort accomplished in a matter of months something that no one could have
accomplished alone. When finished, those in the countryside
around Jerusalem realized that the work had been done with
the help of God.
Thank you for allowing God to touch your heart and involve
your energy and your resources in the building of a fine college
that draws young Christians into deep respect for the authority
of scripture as their guide in the weightier matters of life.
Cordially,
Kenneth L. Johnson
President
Officials of the Teagle Foundation in New York recently approved a $246,000 grant for Rochester College. Designed to enhance the institutions fund raising efforts, the award will extend
over a period of three years.
Needless to say, everyone on
campus is delighted, stated Dr.
Ken Johnson, president of the
college. We believe this award
will make a significant impact on
our efforts and will enhance our
image with other foundations as
we approach them as well.
The grant will fund two new
staff positions in the Development
Office and will provide the college
with a campaign consultant. Prospects currently are being interviewed to fill roles as director of
capital campaigns and director of
marketing communication.
In particular, this grant will
help us share the Rochester College story with new constituencies, stated Birgie Niemann, associate vice president for corporate and foundation relations.
The capital campaigns director
also will be able to strengthen
relations with alumni and current friends of the college.
Mrs. Niemann joined the development staff last fall. Previously, she served as dean of students for Rochester College from
1987 until 1991. She also has

of the University of Iowa Foundation and York College.
When notifying us about the
grant, the president of the Teagle
Foundation stated that rarely do
they become involved in funding
without first meeting the president of the college making the
request, stated Dr. Johnson.
He then went on to say that
the materials provided by the college were so outstanding that they
were comfortable awarding the
grant even though they had not
met the colleges president, Dr.
Johnson continued. This is an
outstanding tribute to Mrs.
Niemann and the quality of her
work on this project.
Foundations and corporations
make awards as a type of investment, stated Mrs. Niemann.
They expect to see a return, and
believe that good things will happen to benefit students as a result
of their award. We plan to utilize
this grant wisely and make their
investment worthwhile.
Choral festival hosted by Rochester
Nearly 300 singers from six
institutions participated in the
33rd Christian College Choral
Festival on January 6. Rochester
College hosted the event for the
first time since 1971.
Although the directors have
considered coming our way previously, they hesitated because of
the winter weather, stated Joe
Bentley, director of music activities. Since we have participated
in the festival faithfully for years,
they encouraged us to host the
event this year.
At the festival, each group per-

formed two numbers individually.
For the finale, a combined festival chorus sang five selections
under the direction of Dr. Brazeal
W. Dennard, retired supervisor
of vocal music for the Detroit
Public Schools.
Dr. Dennards choral groups
have appeared at national conventions and on network television. In addition, he has served
on a White House committee and
participated in congressional
hearings on the arts. He arranged
two of the pieces performed by
the festival chorus.
The directors were particularly impressed by the audience
size, Mr. Bentley stated. The
number of singers on the stage
often outnumbers the festival
crowd, but we had standing-room
only in the Rochester Church of
Christ auditorium.
Institutions participating in the
festival included Crowleys Ridge
College, Faulkner University,
Harding University, Lipscomb
University, Ohio Valley College,
and Rochester College. Some of
the institutions brought more
than one ensemble.
Hosting an event of this magnitude requires a lot of help, Mr.
Bentley noted. Dr. Tony Mowrer,
who now teaches on our faculty,
was a valuable asset since he
hosted this event while teaching
at Faulkner University.
Robert Martin, a member of
the Rochester College Board of
Trustees, coordinated housing.
Simone Thomas, Molly Debandt,
Debi Shepherd, and Frank Pitts
coordinated housing efforts in
their individual congregations.
Numerous other individuals assisted with publicity, staging,
lighting, and sound.
Influence
Alumni of Rochester College continue to make an
impact on the world.
For a recent feature on mission efforts in Africa, the
Christian Chronicle sought
names of emerging church
leaders who serve in their
own nations. They featured
Washington Mhlanga (72)
among six leaders. Washington, director of Zimbabwe Minerals Marketing
Corporation, serves as an
elder in a local congregation and as a trustee for the
Mutare Bible School.
The Chronicle also named
Timothy Akpakpan (66),
Nelson Isonguyo (68), and
Stephen Okoronkwo (66)
among those playing major
roles in their countries.
Timothy and Nelson serve
at Nigerian Christian Bible
College, and Stephen at

Highlights
Traveling to Marion, Ohio,
Dr. Craig Bowman, professor of religion, spoke at a
January meeting of ministers from the central region of the state.
Dr. Tony Mowrer, professor of music, recently
received an invitation from
the North Central Association to serve as a consultant evaluator.
Focus on the Family recently hosted a workshop
in Colorado Springs for
Christian counselors. Dr.
Debra Dahl, who teaches
on the adjunct faculty of
the college, served as a guest
speaker for the event.
Based upon student recommendations, Dr. Michael
Westerfield, provost and
professor of English, and
Dr. David Fleer, professor of religion and communication, will appear in the
next edition of Whos Who

Development officers from
various Christian colleges
gathered in February at
Faulkner University. Doug
Edwards, vice president
for development, spoke at
the annual event.
Kent Hoggatt, adjunct instructor of communication,
is conducting workshops for
local dentists on effective
listening skills and conflict
management.
Ten years ago, when Rochester
College offered primarily two-year
degrees, the institution enrolled
sixteen students who had attended other colleges. This year,
the number of transfer students
reached 207.
Our successful transition to
senior college status has completely changed our role as an
educational institution, stated
Dr. Ken Johnson, president. The
number of students now transferring to Rochester College far
exceeds the number that previously had to transfer to other
colleges and universities to complete their studies.
The college began experiencing steady growth in the number
of transfer students as the faculty
added four-year programs. Following the college name change
and establishment of the College
of Extended Learning in 1997,
the count of transfer students
began rising dramatically.
Every semester, we process
transcripts from public and private universities, as well as ones
from community colleges, stated
Lynne Stewart, registrar. We
work hard to find course equivalents or grant elective credit for
transfer work because we expected other colleges to do the
same for us for many years.
Last fall, 72 transfer students
enrolled in traditional programs,
Transfers Bob Bullock and Steven Corp join Brett Cummins and Jason Debandt as hosts at Celebration.
while 135 began their studies in
the College of Extended Learning. The College of Extended
Learning primarily offers degree
completion programs for working adults who have already completed a substantial part of their
educational program.
We probably will enroll over
100 transfer students in our traditional program this fall, stated
Larry Norman, vice president for
enrollment management. Many
students are just now beginning
to discover the college since they
no longer assume that we offer
only religion degrees.
We are finding that most of
our inquiries from students interested in transferring are referrals from current students, Mr.
Norman continued. Commuters,
as well as boarding students who
have transferred to Rochester College, are enjoying the academic
and spiritual atmosphere of the
campus and are sharing that discovery with their friends.
Preaching books edited by professor
ACU Press of Abilene, Texas,
recently released the first volume
in a new series on biblical preaching. The book, coedited by Dr.
David Fleer, professor of religion
and communication at Rochester
College, grew out of a seminar
held on the campus in 1999.
Apparently, response to the
book has been positive, stated
Dr. Fleer. In fact, volume two,
based upon last years seminar,
will be released in May.
Dr. Fleer coedited both of the
first two volumes with Dr. Dave
Bland, associate professor of

homiletics at the Harding University Graduate School of Religion. In February, the Christian
Chronicle ran a feature on the
first volume, Preaching from
Luke/Acts.
Volume one includes essays by
each of the four speakers who
participated in the 1999 seminar,
Tim Kelley, Tom Long, Dean
Smith, and Greg Sterling. It also
includes sermons by John York
and David Fleer that use the methods presented at the seminar and
in the first half of the book.
This volume comes from
player coaches, stated Harold
Shank, minister of the Highland
Street Church of Christ in Memphis. They are scholars, who as
coaches, see the big picture and
understand the role of preaching.
They are also preachers who, as
players, know the strain and challenge of the game.
The second volume, Preaching
from Autobiography in Pauls Letters, will feature essays by Carl
Holladay, Carson Reed, Andre
Resner, and John York, speakers
at the 2000 seminar. Mark Love
and Mark Frost prepared the sermons for volume two.
ACU Press has promoted the
series fairly extensively, stated
Dr. Fleer. They have advertised
in the Journal for Preaching and
have sent flyers to members of
the Academy of Homiletics, a professional organization of those
who teach preaching.
The 2001 seminar, Preaching
Like Paul in Romans, is scheduled for May 14-17 on campus.
The program will feature Ken
Durham, Stephen Farris, Mark

God has a lot of projects going, and He has good people working
in all of them! When Gods seed is planted in the hearts of His
own, old but good projects are sustained even as new good
projects are begun. Because God is so creative and so industrious, the bottom line (as I see it) is that God has far more projects
than He has people.
Part of each Christians responsibility is to help diminish the
shortage of workers. We try to do that by preparing young
hearts to hear Gods call to give their lives to His service,
spending their energy, their resources, and their creativity on
His projects. For some - young and old alike - whom God calls,
that project will be Rochester College, and we shall be grateful.
For others, it will be something else, equally or perhaps more
important on Gods list of projects.
Eli didnt hear God speak to Samuel, but as Eli watched and
listened, Eli had no doubt that Samuel was in touch with God.
We may not be ready to commit our energy, our money, our
time, and our life to the call that another hears, yet we commend
all who learn to sacrifice for the Kingdom.

Newspaper redesigned as The Shield
Members of the campus community have enjoyed reading a
revitalized student newspaper
since the opening of the fall semester. Each issue has captured
the attention of readers.
It has been exciting to be involved with the production process, stated Lora Isenberg, new
sponsor of the paper. We are
building a better publication each
time the paper is printed.
Originally bearing the name
North Star, the student newspaper disappeared for several years.
It resumed publication during the
1994-95 academic year and has
been printed since that time under the name Tomahawk, Warrior Warpath, and The Point.
Before the year began, we decided to restructure the paper
with the four sections that are
common to most student newspapers: news, features, opinions,
and sports, stated Mrs. Isenberg.
Justin Robinson and Amanda Brownlee read the latest student paper.
We then decided to sponsor a
contest to rename the paper.
We were looking for a name
that would reflect the colleges
mission, goals, and mascot, Mrs.
Isenberg continued. We also
wanted to find a name that would
stick for a long time.
The Warrior mascot changed
from an Indian theme to a Christian Warrior theme in 1997. Consequently, the newspaper staff
selected The Shield as the official
name for the student newspaper.
The masthead displays a shield
bearing a cross.
Response to the paper has been
very positive, Mrs. Isenberg
noted. Like most colleges, the
voice provided in the opinion section is a popular feature. We
wanted a paper that would foster
discussion on the issues and that
seems to be happening.
A former college newspaper editor herself, Mrs. Isenberg worked
for a magazine and edited the
news bulletin of Pepperdine University after college. She then
taught journalism and advised the
student newspaper at Oklahoma
Christian University.
Mrs. Isenberg moved to Michigan after marrying Dan Isenberg,
a 1982 graduate of Rochester
College. She also teaches specialized writing and journalism
courses for the college.
Options added at Macomb and Mott
Interest at both extension centers operated by Rochester College recently resulted in the addition of new options at each of the
sites. Beginning in the fall, an
evening program will become
available at the Macomb location,
and a major in business communication at the Mott site.
Community college students
Faculty
Openings
Adjunct faculty members
are needed in the College of
Extended Learning. Most
CEL courses meet one time
per week, primarily in the
evening or on Saturdays.
Candidates must have a
masters or doctoral degree
and are contracted for each
course taught.
Instructors are needed in
accounting/finance, business/management, communication, computer-related
fields, early childhood education, English, fine arts,
math, and science (biology
and/or chemistry).
Applicants should contact

often pile up as many as 100 credits and need a flexible degree
completion program, stated Debi
Hoggatt, program director. Our
business communication major
allows students to complete a
bachelors degree with minimal
loss of credit.
Rochester College began offering the business communication
major at the Macomb location in
the fall of 2000. The addition of a
second facility at the University
Center is making it possible for
the college to add an optional
evening track along with the current weekend program.
We expect the business communication major to meet similar needs at Mott, stated Tracey
Hebert, dean of the College of
Extended Learning. Officials at
Mott are extremely excited about
this new opportunity for their
students.
At both university centers, the
college must offer programs that
are not available from other partner institutions. Currently, Rochester College also offers a major
in early childhood education on
the Mott campus in Flint.
Most of our Macomb students
are coming to us as referrals from
the Macomb counseling staff,
noted Mrs. Hoggatt. Their counselors like our program.
We also are enrolling a number of working adults who have
done well in their profession but
need a bachelors degree for career advancement, Mrs. Hoggatt
continued. These are bright stu-
dents who are doing extremely
well in the classroom.
Both the Macomb and Mott
programs operate under the oversight of the College of Extended
Learning. Offering their first
classes for working adults in the
summer of 1997, the division enrolled over 300 students for the
spring semester.
We are now graduating students on a regular basis, stated
Mr. Hebert. Based upon inquiries, however, we expect continued growth in enrollment.

Molding Futures ....
Ronald Cox, Jennifer Hamilton, and Gordon MacKinnon
Good instructors are at the heart of a quality academic program.
The lives of students at Rochester College are molded not only
through strong experiences in the classroom, but by individual
attention and personal relationships with instructors. Some of
the outstanding faculty members that serve the students of
Rochester College are introduced below.
Recently finishing course work for his doctorate from Notre
Dame University, Ronald Cox, assistant professor of religion,
joined the faculty of Rochester College in January of this year.
He obtained his bachelors degree from California Polytechnic
State University and his masters from Pepperdine University.
While pursuing his doctorate, he directed the adult education
program at the Donmoyer Avenue Church of Christ and preached
in several area congregations.
After completing her bachelors degree at Columbia Christian
College, Jennifer Hamilton, assistant professor of English,
taught at private schools in New Jersey and Oregon. Her family
lived in Scotland for a year, where she completed a masters
degree and became a doctoral candidate at the University of
Aberdeen. Jennifer and her husband, Rex, both joined the
faculty of Rochester College in the fall of 1999.
Completing bachelors degrees at both Rochester College and
Oakland University in 1981, Dr. Gordon MacKinnon, associate professor of psychology, began his career as a youth and
family minister. After completing a masters degree at Wayne
State University, he worked as a psychologist in outpatient
clinics. In 1989, he opened a private practice and began doctoral
studies. He has served as staff psychologist for the Havenwyck
Adolescent Treatment Center for the past five years. He began
teaching classes at Rochester College on a part-time basis in
1997, and joined the full-time faculty in January.
Worth Repeating
I just wanted you to know how much your classes have made a
difference in my views on society. They taught me a respect for
those who are different, those who are poor, and those who are
uneducated. Previously, I thought those things just happen and
there is nothing you can do. Now I know different. I feel so blessed
that I can make a difference in someone elses life from what I have
learned. - from a student in the traditional program to one of her
professors in the Psychology Department.
I really miss our Biblical literature class. When I read the Bible
now, I read it with more understanding of the times and culture of
Jesus. Ive also heard this from so many of the students. They say
they did not expect to get anything out of the class, but left the class
with a new respect and wonder for God. - from a student in the
College of Extended Learning to her professor.
Im going to start substitute teaching next Tuesday. If I like it, I
will get a masters degree. You planted seeds that are helping me
be the wife and mother I need to be. Thank you for setting this
example. I pray that I can pass your kindness on to my children and
to the children that I work with. - from a 2000 psychology
graduate to a former professor.
I never really had the opportunity to explore the Bible. The
Jesus I never knew was introduced in this class. I look at
Jesus in a different light now.
I look at Him as a friend walking next to me. I still have
much to learn about Him and
want to continue to develop
and strengthen my relationship with Him. - from a student in the College of Extended
Learning to a professor.

Why RC?
Why does Rochester College exist? Because of students like Josh Graves, a
junior history major from
Chesterfield, Michigan.
Josh has played basketball
since enrolling at Rochester College. In addition, he
has served as the spiritual
life intern on campus.
When you grow up in a
public school, you are bombarded with worldly teachings and morals, Josh
stated. It has been refreshing to be around Christians
on an every day basis.
Since he almost majored in
Christian ministry, Josh
recently decided to work as
an intern with the Rochester Church of Christ during the next academic year.
In that capacity he will be
serving as a part-time campus minister.

Celebration marks twenty-fifth year of tradition
Chronicling important events
of the 1976-77 academic year, a
writer for the student yearbook
stated, Shouts of exuberance
rang from the cafetorium on April
22 and 23. Through concentrated
efforts of students and faculty,
the first annual Celebration in
Song took place.
Though the participants, program, and location of Celebration
have changed over the years, the
tradition has not. On March 1617, the students of Rochester
College once again delighted another audience, this time marking the twenty-fifth annual Celebration weekend.
The amount of talent and creativity displayed at Celebration
over the years has been remarkable, stated Lynne Stewart, who
has witnessed every production
since 1977. It is even more amazing when one realizes that the
show is made possible by such a
broad spectrum of people.
You assume the drama and
music students are involved,
Mrs. Stewart continued. Yet
hundreds of others who normally
would never get near a stage, from
athletes to the shy and quiet types,
do the most unpredictable things
for Celebration.
The first Celebration, staged in
the cafeteria area, did showcase
the best music and drama talent
on campus. Yet, Dr. Don Gardner,
president of the college at that
time, wanted much more. By the
second year, the program not only
moved to the newly-constructed

Westside-Central Chapel, but featured the campus social clubs.
Celebration builds a sense of
community on campus, stated
Frank Pitts, music director for
the show and a former Celebration host. While the competitive
edge of intramural club sports
continues throughout the year,
the clubs all pull together for Celebration, wanting to see everyone do well.
From year to year, different
features have carried the show.
Some years, the hosts and hostesses have been the highlight.
Remembering When ...
TOP LEFT: Gary Cummins, father of 2001 host Brett, performs with the first hosts and hostesses
in 1978. TOP RIGHT: Large ensemble numbers highlight the 1988 show. BOTTOM LEFT: Drama
plays a major role in the 1986 production. BOTTOM RIGHT: Social club acts begin in 1978.
Other years, the Celebration ensemble or the social clubs have
provided the flair.
I have always enjoyed the big
ensemble numbers the most,
stated Mrs. Stewart. I like to see
lots of people on the stage. The
effect is very dramatic.
Celebration embraced a new
tradition in 1999, when the producers began weaving a Christian theme throughout the program. The following year, Celebration moved to the auditorium
of the Rochester Church of Christ
to improve staging and to accommodate larger audiences.
Using the church building allows us to do more with technical
effects, stated Mr. Pitts. Our
lighting improved dramatically
last year, and we used interactive
video this year.
Undoubtedly, Celebration will
continue to evolve in the future.
As long as the tradition lasts, however, Celebration will continue to
delight audiences and bond the
campus community.
Celebrate!
PARTICIPATION
Year after year, more students are involved in the
preparation of Celebration
than any other campus
event. Compared to other
annual programs, it also
draws the largest number

Two long-awaited campus
projects culminated during
the past few months with
completion of the Isom
Atrium and the first phase
of the Associates Plaza.
Funded by Gerald and
Lucille Isom of Penn Valley,
Pennsylvania; Gary and
Rosemary Carson of
Clarkston, Michigan; and
the Associates, the atrium
houses the Solid Rock Cafe
and will provide additional
social space for the campus
community. The atrium is
located in a high-traffic area
in front of the WestsideCentral Auditorium.
Isom Atrium and Associates Plaza
Just outside the entrance of
the Isom Atrium, the
Associates Plaza provides a
campus focal point for an
area that in time will serve
as an outdoor mall. The
names of scores of individuals are engraved in the plaza
bricks and on plaques
installed on the plaza
benches and flagpoles. The
Associates plan to add more
engraved bricks in phases as
the bricks are purchased by
other individuals.

Both the Isom Atrium and

new social space on the
campus of Rochester
College. Their strategic
location and attractive
appearances will ensure
frequent use by the campus
community for many years
in the future.

SPRING 2001
Fall workshops planned
Two fall workshops featuring
noted authors have been scheduled in conjunction with the annual lectureship. Both workshops
are based upon books written by
each of the presenters.
On Friday, October 19, Dr. Nick
Stinnett, a noted researcher from
the University of Alabama, will
present a workshop on family
strengths. Based upon his latest
Mark Your
Calendar!
Two exciting workshops
will precede Lectureship
weekend for the first time
this year. Plan now to visit
campus and benefit from
an incredible weekend!

book, Fantastic Families, Dr.
Stinnett will share powerful steps
for building strong families.
In the largest study ever conducted on strong families, Dr.
Stinnett recently completed a
twenty-five year research project
on over 14,000 families. Fantastic Families, coauthored with Dr.
Stinnetts wife, Nancy, and Joe
and Alice Beam, reveals the results of that study.
Tim Woodroof, a minister from
Nashville, Tennessee, will conduct a church growth seminar on
October 19 and 20 based upon his
latest book, The Church that Flies.
The Saturday portion of the seminar will be a lectureship class.
Tim comes from a preaching
family, which includes his father
and his grandfather, stated Elton
Albright, director of the seminar.
I have known him for years and
he is a great speaker.
Each year, the college provides
a variety of workshops. They cover
such topics as leadership training, church growth, and sermon
preparation.
We feel it is important for us
to provide learning opportunities
for everyone associated with the
college, Mr. Albright noted. Our
workshops are designed to fortify
faith in individuals and to help
build stronger churches.

Giving
Matters
Doug Edwards
Vice President
for Development
Do you need a will?
The obvious answer is that you absolutely need a will to
determine where your possessions will go after your death.
Otherwise, your state of residence has a plan for your estate.
My wife and I see our will as another opportunity for stewardship of what God has given to us. Many people, like us, will want
to leave something for children or grandchildren, but many will
leave at least a portion for a local church or a para-church
ministry. Christian colleges, like Rochester College, need friends
to endow their important work through estate gifts.
Sadly, nearly seventy percent of all Americans die without a will
in place. This complicates the probate process for those family
members left to deal with the problems. It may also mean heavy
tax consequences. Consider taking the following steps.
First, spend some time determining the value of your total
estate by sorting through your personal property and assets.
Many people find their estate is larger than they imagined when
they include their home, life insurance, and retirement plans.
Secondly, find a lawyer and/or estate planner, with charitable
estate planning experience, whom you can trust to put together
a plan for your estate. At the minimum, you likely will want to
draw up a will, but your planner may suggest some other options
such as a trust or a family foundation.
Please call me at 800.521.6010 (option 4) if I may provide
possible charitable ideas, answer questions, or refer you to
someone who may help in the process.

Associates
Mary Wooten, a member of
the class of 1982, recently
assumed new responsibilities on behalf of the Associates. Since 1985, the group
has collected redemption
points at Bill Knapps Restaurants to purchase items
for the college. Marys
mother, Margaret Hadfield,
coordinated that effort until her recent death.
Accepting the project, Mary
stated, I am honored to
take the torch and carry
on my mothers great love
for this college and the wonderful ladies who so lovingly have given their time
and talents for many years.
for most to attend during the day,
Mr. Edwards continued. Consequently, full-time church leaders
and senior citizens now make up
most of our daytime crowds.
After considering numerous
options, the lectureship committee decided to reformat the lectureship into a weekend schedule. The revised program will open
on Friday evening, run throughout the day on Saturday, and end
on Sunday morning.
In order to give the lectureship
a fresh identity, the committee
selected a new designation for the
weekend, Impact: A Conference
for Seeking the Way, the Truth,
and the Life. Each year, the program will center around a theme
as in past years.
Even though we will still refer
to the program as the lectureship, we hope the name Impact
will be appealing to the younger
generation, stated Mr. Edwards.
Many young professionals attend conferences on a regular
basis, so they likely will identify
with the terminology.
In addition to packing a number of dynamic speakers into the
weekend program, the committee also recommended that one or
two workshops be held on campus just prior to the opening of
the lectureship.
Scheduling some of our workshops during the same time period will bring more people to the
campus and give everyone the
opportunity to participate in a
multifaceted weekend, Mr.
Edwards noted. Additionally, we
will be able to use some of the

Five selected to serve with Trustees
Continuing to build leadership
for the new century, the Board of
Trustees of Rochester College recently added five members to its
ranks. Terms of service for each
individual began at the last quarterly board meeting.
Scott Cottrill of Fort Wayne,
Indiana, is an operations support
manager at Guardian Industries.
He has served on the college Development Council and as a Partnership Dinner chairman. Mr.
Cottrill and his wife, Melissa, are
members of the East Allen County
Church of Christ, where he serves
as a deacon, Bible class teacher,
and song leader.
A strong college in the North
strengthens the church, stated
Mr. Cottrill. My three sons need
an option for a progressive, worldclass, Christian university in the
Lectureship adopts weekend format
Building upon a tradition that
started a year before the college
opened, the lectureship committee recently announced new plans
for the colleges oldest annual program. Those changes will occur
when the lectureship takes place
this fall on October 19-21.
Many individuals have attended the lectureship since it
began, stated Doug Edwards,
chairman of the committee. As
time has gone on, however, most
younger families have not established that tradition.

that both husband and wife work
in many families makes it hard

outstanding speakers that come
for our workshops in the lectureship program.
This fall, Mike Cope of Abilene,

Classes will be available on Saturday, and that evening will include the annual Friends Dinner
and another keynote address. The
lectureship will conclude with
worship the next morning.
North, and I have twelve years to

A Partnership Dinner promoter
and father of a Rochester College
student, Tom Duncan of South
Lyon, Michigan, works in land
development and management.
With experience as a member of
the South Lyon Board of Education, he also is assisting with the
formation of a new university in
Africa. He serves as an elder of
the South Lyon Church of Christ,
where he and his wife, Joanne,
are members.
The transition from a teenager living at home to responsible
adulthood is the most critical period in each of our lives, Mr.
Duncan noted. If I can be of help
to young people by providing them
with a wholesome, Godly atmosphere during those crucial years,
I will gladly serve.
Rich Richardson of Mokena,
Illinois, is the owner of Richardson
Products, Inc. A coach of community sporting events, he also
teaches Bible classes on a regular
basis and is active in evangelistic
efforts. Mr. Richardson and his
wife, Gena, are members of the
Park Forest Church of Christ in
Matteson.
I hope to contribute to a environment which develops young
people to become educated, committed disciples, not simply nice,
successful churchgoing members
of the community, stated Mr.
Richardson.
Lora Schwab of Saline, Michigan, is the president and CEO of
Statprobe, Inc., one of the nations
largest research organizations
that works with pharmaceutical,
biotechnology, and medical device companies. Dr. Schwab and
her husband, Don, are active
members of the Ann Arbor
Church of Christ.
I believe in the vision of Rochester College, Dr. Schwab commented when asked why she decided to serve on the Board of
Trustees. That vision provides
students a higher education with
a Christian focus that helps equip
them for life.
The chief deputy financial officer for Wayne County, Carla
Sledge of Franklin, Michigan, is
active as a representative of the
college and as a member of several community organizations. In
1999, she received the Most Influential Black Women in Metropolitan Detroit Award and the
NABA Award for Achievement in
Government. Mrs. Sledge and her
husband, Willie, are members of
the Russell Woods Church of
Christ.
I am involved with the college
board to utilize my experience in
finance, Mrs. Sledge stated. It
is a means of giving back as I have
been blessed.

to recognize those giving over

In order for the college to continue its current rate of growth, we must begin attracting
major gifts on a regular basis, stated Dr. Ken Johnson, president of the college. Substantial
investments in facilities and programs will be a necessity over the next few years.
Nationwide, over 1,000 employers continued to match employee gifts during the past year.
Rochester College received matching gifts from sixty companies, totaling an impressive
$197,941 of the colleges gift income.
Many people do not realize that their employers will actually double or triple their gifts
to the college without any additional cost to themselves, stated Mr. Edwards. They simply
need to submit a matching form with their gift. A list of matching companies can be obtained
by calling the Development Office at 800.521.6010.

By starting on our new facilities goals in the near future, we
can reasonably project a student
body of 1,500 by the fall of 2005,
Dr. Johnson noted. Other portions of the revised plan will enhance our ability to serve students as well.
Within the next five years, college officials are projecting approval of the teacher certification

Rochester College has made remarkable progress over the past
ten years. Senior college status is now assumed. The college has
renovated most facilities, constructed a residence hall complex
and atrium, and rebuilt roadways and parking areas. Planning
is complete for a decade of even greater growth!
program, as well as a new major
in general science and a summer
studies program in Europe. Recent additions to the faculty have
allowed planners to move the target date for a masters program in
religion several years earlier than
originally expected.
Technology again surfaced as a
priority in the new strategic plan.
Immediate plans call for the addition of DALNET services in the
library and swipe-card technology over the campus. Through
DALNET, the librarys holdings
will be fully integrated with a
consortium of more than twenty
college and public libraries in
southeast Michigan.
Concurrent with construction
of the second phase of a new academic facility, the college plans to
add a community music school.
The school will utilize area professional musicians, music teachers, and Rochester College music
majors to teach music lessons to
local residents.
Our task is to discern prayerfully and plan responsibly as we
work to raise every standard to
which we aspire for the college
and our students, Dr. Johnson
commented. We feel good about
the process we have been through
and are excited about the direction we are heading.
Flags flying high above the Associates Plaza include a new college flag.
Decade of Progress
Enrollment played a major role
in a recent review of the strategic
plan for Rochester College. Rapid
growth over the past four years
necessitated significant adjustments to earlier planning.
Just two years ago, we completed an update that projected
enrollment for the fall of 2000 at
668, stated Dr. Ken Johnson,
president. Instead, our enrollment hit 830 last fall.
The 1999 strategic plan identified an athletic center as the
colleges highest priority for new
construction. The revised plan
places that facility a little further
down the list.
While our needs for an athletic center are great, stated Dr.
Johnson, we are nearing capacity in our classrooms and residence halls. We are at the point
where we must limit enrollment
or build.
In order to meet pressing facility needs, the trustees approved a
$9.5 million campus expansion
project at their January meeting.
That approval addresses the first
phase of the facility portion of the
revised strategic plan.
Enrollment sparks strategic planning
