ANDERSON UNIVERSITY Homecoming Herald 2016
A
nderson University will host a reception
during homecoming weekend to celebrate
the recent publication of “The Desk as Altar: The
Centennial History of Anderson University,” written by Professor Emeritus Merle D. Strege. The
reception, which will be held in York Performance
Hall on Saturday October 8 at 4 p.m., will feature
a reading from Professor Deborah Miller Fox and
a book signing by Strege.
The book chronicles the relationship between
the Church of God (Anderson) and Anderson

life. The centennial history highlights the leaders
of AU throughout its history, many of whom have
lit the path for current students and faculty.

HOMECOMING
Lighting the Path
T
his fall, Anderson University will celebrate
Homecoming (October 7-8) with the centennial
theme, “Lighting the Path.” The weekend will signal the
start of the university’s centennial celebration. The centennial theme is woven into the fabric of AU,
carrying forward the 50th anniversary theme
of “Toward the Light” and the 75th anniversary theme of “Kindle the Flame.”
The word “path” visually represents
the twists and curves of the journey
of spiritual and educational growth
students find on the AU campus.
The centennial celebration will
involve many special events. Starting
Oct. 2016 and continuing through Oct.
2017, chapel will include a centennial
speaker series of eight alumni from different
generations and different vocations. Also, a special
Truth, Faith, and Service Series will be presented featuring
Randy Lewis, businessman, disability employment advocate,
and author; Lauren Winner, historian, author, and assistant
professor of Christian Spirituality at Duke Divinity School;
and Scott Russell Sanders, American novelist, essayist and
former distinguished professor of English at Indiana
University. Lastly, the Anderson Symphony
Orchestra, conducted by Richard Sowers,
will perform a Centennial Celebration
Concert in the spring. Details about
these centennial events and more can
be found at anderson.edu/100.
Anderson University holds a special place in the hearts of more than
26,000 alumni nationwide. It is here
where many alumni discovered a vocational calling. And it is here where the
path of many generations of students were
lit with the lamps of truth, faith, and service.
During the special days of Homecoming, we highlight the traditions and the heritage of AU. Join us as we
celebrate the past and look toward the future.
From the president
I
know many of you look forward
to the Homecoming celebration
each year. Even if you’re not able
to attend, it’s fun to catch up with
people through social media and
the recap in Signatures. This year,
Homecoming is especially exciting as
we will be kicking off our centennial
celebration. Anderson Bible Training
School opened in 1917, and
Anderson University is celebrating its first century of service.
Our theme for the centennial is “Lighting the Path.”
This is our campus theme for chapel/convocation and is
woven into many of our activities this year. It also raises a key
question for all of us: Who and what lights your path? Some
of you may be thinking of a professor, supervisor at a campus
page

job, or classmate who shaped your time at AU — and your
life. Homecoming is about reconnecting with those people
who have been lights for us and reminiscing about the people
and events that have been a part of AU’s rich history.
I hope to see you at Homecoming, but I hope you’ll also
keep up with us through the web and social media. This year,
we’ll be using #LightingthePath to tag centennial events. We
also have a special Lighting the Path section of the website,
which you can visit at anderson.edu/100. Throughout the
year, we’ll share 100-second Stories, Throwback Thursdays,
and Fun Facts about AU. We’ll hear from nationally known
speakers and learn from AU alumni. We’ll reflect on AU’s
history, and we’ll look ahead to our second century of service.
And, it all starts at Homecoming 2016. See you there!
John S. Pistole, President
