KFAC exhibit features
Wenstrups’ collection
Opening Oct. 6 in the Kentucky Folk
Art Center's Adkins Gallery is Collective
Vision: Folk Art from the Collection of
Dick and Maggie Wenstrup. The Wenstrups
are longtime folk art collectors and supporters of KFAC. The exhibition will be displayed through Nov. 27.
MSU is among top schools in the South, again
Morehead State University has been recognized again as one of the top 25 public
universities in the South in the 2006 edition
of “America's Best Colleges” by U.S.News
& World Report.
“We are proud to continue to be recognized as one of the best regional public universities by this widely-used college guide,”
said MSU President Wayne D. Andrews.
“Our faculty and staff are dedicated to
making Morehead State the best university
it can be to serve our students and this ranking reflects their efforts. I fully expect MSU
to move up in the rankings over the next
few years.”
The rankings place emphasis on acceptance rates, graduation rates and small class
sizes. Morehead State offers 51 percent of
classes with less than 20 students, which
earned a third place ranking among the top
tier public universities on that important
factor of student success. Only four percent
of MSU classes have 50 or more students.
Overall, Morehead State is ranked as one
of the top 25 public institutions which
grant bachelor's and master's degrees in 12
states of the South, including Kentucky,
West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Arkansas
and Louisiana.
MSU moved into the magazine's top tier
of ranked institutions in 2005. The rankings are based on research on more than
1,400 institutions nationally.
The magazine notes that 89 percent of
MSU faculty members are full-time, a
number surpassed by only three other listed
public institutions.
MSU, UK and St. Claire partner for health education and research facility
A proposed health sciences facility in
Morehead may become a reality thanks to
$1.5 million in planning funds awarded by
the 2005 General Assembly to a partnership
of Morehead State University (MSU), the
University of Kentucky (UK) and St. Claire
Regional Medical Center (SCR).
The collaborative capital construction
project, a regional Center for Health
Education and Research, has a projected
cost ranging from $14 million to $20 million and would be located across Second
Street from St. Claire's existing facility.
The facility would house MSU's departments of nursing and imaging sciences,
UK's physician assistant and family nurse
practitioner programs, in addition to a freestanding primary care clinic, and comprehensive health education center.
The space for MSU's departments of
nursing and imaging sciences would
include lecture and laboratory classrooms to
support the associate and baccalaureate
degree nursing programs, the radiologic
technology program, and the sonography,
computed tomography, and magnetic resonance program options. Also included
would be faculty/staff offices and conference areas. In addition, discussion with UK
continues regarding other possible educational training programs to be located at the
Center.
MSU baccalaureate students in the computed tomography program passed their
national boards at a rate of 100 percent
last semseter.

Serving students better
Morehead State University, in its effort to
make a college education more accessible to
students, has established a new unit,
Enrollment Services. The University's
offices of admissions and financial aid,
along with representatives from the registrar's office and accounting and budgetary
control, are now located under one roof in
the Admissions Center.
“We want all citizens of the
Commonwealth to have better lives,” said
President Wayne D. Andrews. “Education
is of utmost importance with us and we
want to make this process as simple as possible.”
Student success has been a priority for
Dr. Andrews since he arrived on the campus
in January. He established a Strategic
Enrollment Management Task Force to
study long term issues and present a
strategic enrollment plan to the University.
In addition, the first steps have been taken
by forming the new unit of Enrollment
Services which will provide the students
access to services in one location.
The new unit is being guided by
Dr. Dayna Seelig (88), special assistant to
the president. She recently returned to the
campus after serving as a participant in the
Fellows Program with the American
Council on Education (ACE). Her yearlong training included intensive study on
enrollment trends and student retention.
With efficiency and availability as the
goals, Dr. Seelig noted that students will
have more access to the University's staff
under the new plan. In the near future,
prospective MSU students calling the campus will be greeted by enrollment services
staff who have been cross-trained to answer
questions related to admissions, financial
aid, registration and student accounts.
Several other streamlining efforts have
begun in recent months, including online
Live Help available on the University's
home page at www.moreheadstate.edu.

University Center.
MSPR now podcasting your favorite programs
Earlier this year,
Morehead State Public
Radio became one of
the first stations in
Kentucky to convert
to high definition,
digital audio. Now,
MSPR is looking at
changing the way listeners can listen to
some of their favorite local programs as it is
now offering podcasting.
In July, MSPR began offering podcasting
of three of its local shows - “Front Page with
Chuck Mraz,” “Mountain Edition” and
“Health Matters” - to its listeners.
Because of licensing restrictions, MSPR
can offer only locally produced shows. In
the future, the network hopes to offer other
programs and concerts that it stages, including “Morning Edition,” “Car Talk,”
“Bluegrass Diversion” and “Americana
Crossroads Live.”
With the podcasting availability, listeners can download their
favorite shows and listen to them at a time
they choose. “I think
it is the best of both
worlds,” said MSPR
General Manager Paul Hitchcock. “It is the
latest in technology and is convenient to
our listeners. If they cannot hear one of the
three shows when it airs, all they have to do
is download it on their iPod, mp3 player or
personal computer, and they can listen anytime.”
Additional information on podcasting is
available at MSPR's Web site at

podcasting icon; or by contacting Greg
Jenkins,

Nursing and Imaging Sciences
programs growing
The continued increase in the demand
for highly skilled healthcare professionals
has resulted in significant growth for MSU's
nursing and radiologic sciences programs.
To better address the rapid changes in
healthcare education and to provide a more
effective focus on the academic needs of students pursuing healthcare careers, an organizational restructuring of MSU's allied
health programs was approved.
Effective July 1, the Department of
Nursing and Allied Health Sciences was separated into two new academic units, the
Department of Nursing and the
Department of Imaging Sciences. Nursing
education will focus on both the associate
(ADNP) and baccalaureate (BNP) nursing
degree programs on campus, and through
the LPN Transition Program with the
Kentucky Community and Technical
College System (KCTCS) and the RN Track
Program across MSU's service region.
The imaging sciences department will
continue to focus on the Associate of
Applied Science degree (AAS in radiography) and the baccalaureate program with
options in sonography and computed
tomography/magnetic resonance.
Two-way traffic resumes
between Second Street and
University Street
For the first time in two years, two-way
traffic has resumed on Nickell Place which
connects Second Street and University
Street behind the Howell-McDowell
Administration Building. The street had
been one-way north since August 2003
because of the ADUC construction project.
The street was reopened as a two-way
route following removal of a barricade and
widening of the intersection with Second
Street to allow more room for right turns. A
new crosswalk with stop signs in both directions has been added at the junction of
Nickell Place and Second Street beside the
Methodist Student Center.
“This is the first of several traffic
improvements President Andrews has
authorized in response to recommendations
from our traffic flow work group which
carefully examined vehicle and pedestrian
traffic suggestions from about 30 members
of the campus community and a state traffic
engineer,” said Keith Kappes, vice president
for university relations and chair of the
work group.

New and progressive initiatives in the
Caudill College of Humanities are the
result of a comprehensive, five-year college
strategic planning process that began in
2001. One of these involved the establishment of campus-wide interdisciplinary programs in the areas of Women's Studies,
Appalachian Heritage and Cultural Studies,
plus an interdisciplinary Arts &
Humanities Council.
According to Dr. Michael Seelig, dean,
broad goals for these initiatives were to
break down the walls that often exist
between departments and colleges by having faculty from multiple disciplines work
together on academic topics of common
interests; to support broader University
diversity efforts through programs that foster greater understanding and appreciation
for issues related to race, gender, ethnicity,
religion, sexual orientation, gender identity,
disability, age and other areas of difference;
to provide the campus and community with
an increased number of musical concerts
and recitals, art exhibits, theatrical/dance
productions and lecture series conducted
by, or involving, people representing a variety of cultural backgrounds; and to promote partnering with the broader
6 • STATEMENT
community and region through joint ventures.
Each of these programs has a faculty or
staff director who reports directly to the
dean of the Caudill College of Humanities
and works with an advisory committee
comprised of interdisciplinary faculty, staff,
students and other campus or community
partners. Dr. Sylvia Henneberg, associate
professor of English, directs the Women's
Studies Program; Dr. John Hennen,
associate professor of history, directs
the Appalachian Heritage Program;
Dr. Emma Perkins, associate professor of
art, directs the Cultural Studies Program;
and Mary Jerde, grants resource coordinator, directs the Arts & Humanities Council.
According to Dr. Seelig, “It is gratifying
to see the early collaborative efforts already
taking place in that the Institute for
Regional Analysis and Public Policy is
working with the Appalachian Heritage
Program in developing and offering a joint
Minor in Appalachian Studies program; the
College of Education is working with the
Cultural Studies Program to increase diversity content in the Teacher Education
Program; the Kentucky Folk Art Center is
working with the Appalachian Heritage
Program in offering an annual lecture series;
and the Kentucky Center for Traditional
Music, Morehead State Public Radio, the
Kentucky Folk Art Center and all of the
interdisciplinary programs are represented
on the Arts & Humanities Council that
assists in promoting and jointly funding
their events.”
FOCUSING ON CULTURE AND HERITAGE
The Appalachian Heritage Program has
sponsored or co-sponsored events centered
on volunteerism in East Kentucky during
the War on Poverty years. The Appalachian
Heritage Program will continue to work
closely with the Kentucky Folk Art Center
and the other programs on campus for joint
sponsorship of guest speakers. Last year
MSU hosted Robert Morgan, Linda Scott
DeRosier, Ken Ward of the Charleston
Gazette (mountaintop mining), Garry
Barker, Dr. Ewell Scott (on universal health
care), and Tim Barnwell. Royal Berglee,
assistant professor of geography, presented,
“The Wal-Martization of Eastern
Kentucky” to a packed house at KFAC.
This year, the program plans to present a
series of events on the debate over mountaintop removal. Director John Hennen

adds that “I also plan to invite Gordon
McKinney to come and speak on the Civil
War in Appalachia. We are working to get
the Appalachian Studies Minor off the
ground and plan to teach the 'Introduction
to Appalachian Studies' course for the first
time in Spring 2006.”
The Cultural Studies Program has sponsored or co-sponsored events centered on a
minority alumna’s remembrances of being
an MSU student during the Civil Rights
years of the early 1970s, developing grants,
and planning for a Latin Appalachian
Conference.
SUPPORTING THE ARTS IN THE REGION
AND COMMUNITY
The Arts & Humanities Council has
sponsored or co-sponsored events centered
on an annual arts festival involving regional
public schools, art quilts workshops, costume contests and film series, regional art
exhibitions, art business institute and artist
marketing, an annual campus Ye Olde
Madrigal Feaste, Appalachian photography
exhibitions, and classical, jazz and bluegrass
music performances.
2004 Ye Olde Madrigal Feaste.
There has been a significant increase in
efforts to obtain grants and private funds to
support the interdisciplinary programs. In
the past two years, over $4,000 in private
donations was solicited by the Arts &
Humanities Council and the Appalachian
Heritage Program. The Women's Studies
Program received a $7,000 grant from the
Kentucky Foundation for Women to create
a magazine titled, “Step Forward: Kentucky
Appalachian Women and Social Change;”
both a $15,000 and $5,000 PT3 grant to
cover a speaker fee and to pursue a project
titled, “Exploring Issues of Identity through
Time-Based Media;” a $1,000 Summer
Faculty Grant to support research conducted by the program director; and grant proposals totaling over $2,500 have been submitted to create a video production focusing on memory and the activities of women
as family record keepers, and a digital video
project titled, “Searching for HERoes.”
Blues artists Cephas & Wiggins perform at
Sounds of our Heritage.
The Appalachian Heritage Program collaborated with the Kentucky Folk Art
Center, the Kentucky Center for
Traditional Music, and MSPR in the submission of a $157,000 grant proposal to the
National Endowment for the Humanities
titled, “Sounds of Our Heritage;” and
received a $1,100 grant from the Kentucky
Arts Council for a visiting artist workshop
and lecture series.
The Cultural Studies Program was
awarded a $1,000 grant by the Institute of
Regional Analysis and Public Policy to assist
in supporting the campus-wide Cultural
Studies Appalachian Conference and submitted other grant applications to the
Kentucky Federation of Women and
Kentucky Art Education Association.
In addition to collaborations with other
campus and community groups, the interdisciplinary program participants have been
involved in presentations at professional
conferences, publishing in professional
periodicals, developing program Web sites,
developing online courses, working with
the American Democracy Project and MSU
Center for Cultural Heritage and Tourism
initiatives, facilitating future arts planning
with Americans for the Arts and the
Southern Art Federation, promoting arts
and cultural events through a campus/community e-mail community network and
publishing a calendar of events through
campus media and in local newspapers,
establishing lecture series, and organizing
annual conferences.
“MSU does not have a Center for
Diversity similar to those which exist at
other universities supported with full-time
directors, support staff, and adequate operating budgets,” explained Seelig. “These
four interdisciplinary programs represent an
initial step by the Caudill College of
Humanities to address an unmet academic
need identified by faculty for several years.”
This past year, the college was successful
in obtaining a commitment to have a recurring amount of $30,000 per year provided
in support of the four programs. It is the
intent of the college, however, to continue
expanding the scope of these programs,
especially since diversity, heritage, economic development and tourism have evolved as
priorities of the University. In anticipation
of continued growth and expansion, the
program directors are visiting other
campuses with more developed programs in
order to determine best practices.
The University is committed to educating students to a changing world and the
effects of change are very apparent and visible throughout East Kentucky. The growing
dependency on migrant families from
Mexico to meet local agricultural labor
needs has on one hand created challenges
for regional educational, health and human
service systems, but on the other hand has
fostered an increased interest in learning
Spanish and experiencing Mexican customs
and cuisine.
An influx into the region of physicians
and surgeons from a variety of different cultural and ethnic backgrounds has on one
hand created difficulties in professionalpatient communication and relationship
building, but on the other hand has greatly
helped to address the urgent need for
additional health care professionals to serve
more remote, rural areas. Increases in
regional dropout rates, teen pregnancy,
divorce rates, family transience and
unemployment rates have long been
challenges for us all and serve as the bases
for a continual focus on the changing needs
and issues of women in society.
As our local communities strive to adapt
to societal forces, there is always an interest
in preserving an understanding of
Appalachian culture and heritage. The
interdisciplinary programs are critical in
fostering difficult discussions about diversity and difference and enhancing academic
programs and activities in these areas. MSU
has committed itself to promoting diversity
and the Caudill College of Humanities has
undertaken an important step in helping
the campus realize its commitment.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Elizabeth Mesa-Gaido is associate professor in the
Department of Art at MSU. Mesa-Gaido’s
artwork has been influenced by her CubanAmerican background, exploring issues of identity
and tracing cultural lineage and migrations of diverse
individuals.
The drawings, comissioned by The Speed Art Museum in
Louisville, Ky., for the exhibit Beyond the Walls, were
originally applied to a public bus which circulated through
the Louisville area for two months.
The Speed Art Museum wrote of the work: “The Bus Wrap
clones animals together in a zoo of improbability.
Mammals and birds become united in a metaphor for
cross-fertilization, suggesting the migrations and transplantations that are fast reforming our cultural landscape. New
individuals are created by these combinations and they
will literally weave in and around us as the bus goes from
place to place. Elizabeth Mesa-Gaido’s work is a
metaphor for transit, for the continually changing
landscape that is formed by race, ethnicity, and culture.”

ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE . . .
Theatre program receives national accreditation
MSU's theatre program has been accredited by the National
Association of Schools of Theatre.
“This is very significant. We are one of only 146 accredited
schools in the country and one of two accredited programs in the
Commonwealth. This recognizes the outstanding work of our students, staff and faculty,” said Dr. Bob Willenbrink, chair of the
Department of Communication and Theatre.
The National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST) was
founded in 1965 to improve educational practices and maintain
high professional standards in theatre education and has been designated by the U.S. Department of Education as the agency responsible for the accreditation of all theatre curricula.
The granting of accredited membership by the Commission on
Accreditation signifies that an institution has successfully
demonstrated compliance with the procedures, standards and
guidelines of the Association. Integral to this voluntary process is
ongoing, regularized self-evaluation and peer review.
Accreditation, in practical terms, is a stamp of approval, a sign
that an institution ascribes to, believes in and has met an external set
of basic criteria for the programs it offers. In some cases, accreditation assists in the transfer of credits from one institution to
another. In all cases, it indicates that threshold standards are adhered
to in a fashion that provides a base of academic strength and
operational integrity.
PATRONIZE US . . . Please!
WE INVITE YOU TO SUPPORT MSU THEATRE

10 questions and answers
with President Andrews
Q: What would you like to tell
MSU alumni about Wayne
David Andrews, the person?
Q: And about Dr. Wayne D.
Andrews, the 13th president of
MSU?
A: I am the product of a “blue collar” family and, like many of our students, I am a
first generation college graduate. With the
help of the G.I. Bill from my service in the
Army, I prepared at two different public
institutions to be a professional educator.
My wife, Sue, is a former teacher and she
and I grew up in the same town. We have
two grown children and we have tried to
instill our family values in them. For hobbies, I enjoy woodworking and restoring
antique clocks. Sue and I grew up in New
England but chose to make Appalachia our
home more than 18 years ago. We enjoyed
our years in East Tennessee and are thrilled
to be here in East Kentucky.
A: I intend to lead by example. We will
build upon the successes of the past as we
create an even better university. In our planning, we will emphasize student success,
enrollment management, academic excellence, and recruitment and retention of
faculty and staff. We will be guided in all of
this work by the value that people are our
most important resource.

10 • STATEMENT
Q: What have you been doing to
learn about MSU's students, the
region, the people and the
alumni?
A: Students have seen me all over the campus since my arrival. I eat with them in various dining facilities. I talk with them at
various events. I meet with student organizations and with individual students in all
types of settings. I seek out parents to get
their feedback on MSU. I have traveled literally thousands of miles across the 22
counties in our service region to confer with
legislators, public school administrators and
teachers, elected city and county officials,
business and industry leaders and the general public. I gave four high school commencement addresses this year and intend
to do more next year. My schedule has
included gatherings with alumni in several
key locations. We have hosted several
meetings with alumni on campus.
Our key volunteers on
the Foundation and
Alumni boards have
been very helpful in
introducing me to their
friends and colleagues
who can help MSU. I
sent e-mail to several
thousand alumni for
their perspective on the
institution and was

several referrals of
promising students. The process of learning as much as I can about MSU actually
will never end. I understand very clearly
that the vast majority of our alumni are
fiercely proud of their Alma Mater and that
the institution is prized by the people of
East Kentucky.
Q: What is your impression of
higher education funding in
Kentucky?
Particularly
for
MSU?
A: Compared with Tennessee, the state
where I worked previously, Kentucky is
doing a better job of funding its public universities and community and technical college system. State support has improved
here but has not yet returned to the level of
a few years ago. I am hopeful that

for us in the 2006-08 biennium.
Kentucky's economy is improving but
many other needs compete for state funding. As for MSU's budget, we are continuing efforts to draw attention to the disparity between our state support and
that of other regional institutions. We
feel strongly that students in East
Kentucky should be funded at the same
level as students from other areas of
Kentucky. Resolving this issue is critical to
our future.
Q: What changes do you foresee
for MSU over the next decade?
A: Considering that a third of our students
already are enrolled online or at one of our
five regional campuses, it is clear that MSU
is very different today than just five years
ago. And it proves that we must be even
more agile to meet the challenges and
opportunities of a rapidly-changing academic marketplace. For example, there was
a time when MSU perhaps had the best oncampus housing on any regional campus in
Kentucky. Today, we have excess capacity
because students want more privacy and
more amenities than we can provide in residence halls built 35 to 40 years ago. But we
are optimistic that solutions will come from
a housing master plan study now underway.
Q: The historic President's Home in
the center of campus had been
vacant for two years because
of the ADUC construction project
when you and Mrs. Andrews
moved in last spring. Why do
you live there?
A: First, 11 of my 12
predecessors lived in
that historic home and

expansion project, the
ADUC commons area now reaches almost
to our front yard. It is important for a presidential family to be visible and accessible to
the campus community. We are grateful to
President Eaglin and the Regents for recognizing the need to make improvements in
the building's heating and air conditioning
systems long before the presidential selection process ended. In addition, the realignwww.moreheadstate.edu/statement

ment and widening of Battson-Oates Drive
behind the Combs Building for safer traffic
flow will result in the construction of a new
garage and make the President's Home even
more livable.
Q: Presidential spouses often are
deeply involved in the life of an
institution. What do you see as
Mrs. Andrews' role as MSU's
new First Lady?
A: Sue is a great partner and team member.
She oversees all of the activities in the
President's Home. After 25 years of fulltime teaching, she is considering a variety of
opportunities for involvement in the
University and our community.
Q: MSU has recently been named
a top 25 institution for the
second time in the college guide
published by U.S.News &
World Report. Why is that so
important?
A: As we increase our efforts to recruit and
retain more academically-superior students,
it is vital that we have quality measures for
those students to use for comparison purposes. For example, only two other of
Kentucky's six public regional universities
are in the top 25 with us. We believe that
gives us a competitive advantage in the marketplace. “America's Best Colleges” is
among the most highly regarded of the several college guides being published today.
U.S.News & World Report does research
on 1,400 institutions each year in compiling the guide. Several factors in the ratings
are very important to prospective students
and their parents. For example, they are
concerned about affordability, graduation
rates and class sizes. We have a good institution that is getting better and clearly is on
the road to greatness. It's pleasing to know
that others recognize the worth of this institution and that those rankings can help us
attract even more good students.
A: I adopted that phrase because it
speaks volumes about my intention to be
as well informed as possible, to follow good
management practices and to be a hands-on
leader of this academic community. My
military experience taught me there is no
substitute for leading by example and that is
what I intend to do as long as I serve as
MSU's president. As an administrative
team, we are emphasizing the value of good
planning and of seeking out the best practices of similar institutions. I also believe
that those who ignore the lessons of history
will be repeating that course. Yes, we probably will make a few mistakes along the way,
but we will learn from those experiences.
Q: How can alumni help with the
important work of Morehead
State University?
A: Without question, alumni can help us
the most by being positive about their experiences at MSU whenever they talk with
prospective students, including their own
children and
grandchildren,
and anyone else
in their communities.
Private giving

also helps when

Investiture Address Highlights
May 13, 2005
Mr. Booth and Secretary Fox, I am so
pleased to accept investiture as the 13th
president of Morehead State University.
I want to thank all of you - students,
faculty, staff, colleagues and community
friends - for your personal support and
encouragement of my presidency of this wonderful institution.
I owe much to the Board of Regents and
to the Search Committee for giving me this
opportunity. I owe a great debt of gratitude to
a number of mentors who have guided me
along the way: Dr. Everett N. Israel, retired
administrator from Eastern Michigan
University, was my undergraduate adviser
and was instrumental in my decision to go to
graduate school; Dr. James A. Hales, retired
Dean of the College of Applied Science and
Technology at ETSU, hired me in my first
full-time administrative position as a department chair at ETSU; Dr. Roy S. Nicks,
Chancellor emeritus and former president of
ETSU, nominated me for an ACE
Fellowship and upon my return, gave me the
opportunity to join his cabinet as his executive assistant and later as VP for Student
Affairs; and Dr. Paul E. Stanton, President of
ETSU, who selected me to become the VP
for Administration and Chief Operating
Officer.
Each of these people took a personal interest in my growth and development and
encouraged me to stretch beyond what I
sometimes thought I was capable of
achieving.
I am blessed to have an incredibly supportive family. My mother, Eleanor Andrews, is
here today; my father, Gordon Andrews, died
in 1997 but I know he's watching from afar.
My parents gave me all that was needed for
success: love, belief in God, encouragement,
strong set of values, the understanding that
hard work pays dividends, and a fundamental
understanding that education is the key to a
better life.
My sister, Christine Nicholas, and brother,
Mark Andrews, are here and I appreciate their
support. We three are first-generation college
graduates, just as most MSU alumni.
Two loves of my life are here today. They
are Sue, my wife and partner of 33 years, and

our daughter Jill. Our son, Josh, is unable to
be here due to Army Reserve responsibilities.
And I am especially grateful to my former
colleagues from East Tennessee State
University and other friends from Johnson
City who made the trip over the mountains
to be here today.
And to those of you who are so actively
involved in the life of this institution - please
know I am very proud to be associated with
MSU, with the citizens and organizations of
Morehead and Rowan County and East
Kentucky.
“Together, we can make
this light to the
mountains burn brighter
and cast its life-changing
glow even farther.”
- President Andrews
The work that has been done here in the
past, the solid foundation of success and the
tradition of excellence in teaching and learning, all attracted me to this position and this
institution.
Your presence on this special day is deeply
appreciated and, although I am generally not
a “pomp and circumstance” kind of guy, I
must admit that this ceremony connects us in
a special way with friends and supporters on
campus, from other institutions and from the
community, region and state.
Today I'd like to do three things with my
remarks. I want to briefly review what I've
been doing for the past four months.
Next, I want to summarize some of the
important things I've learned during this
period. And, finally I want to share a vision to
guide our University into the future.
So what have I been doing for the past
four months?
I've been on a listening tour. I've had
meetings with each of the 21 academic
departments. I've asked what they were the
most proud of; what were the barriers to
success; and, what they wanted to focus on in
the future. I've also visited several administrative units. But I have many more to visit.
I've spent a lot of time with students. I've
attended student activities of all types, had
meals with students of all ages and interests,
played my banjo and sung a few songs.
I've visited each of our five regional
campuses and other places where we deliver
high quality instruction.
I've participated in a number of “meet the
new president” events around the state and
have talked with a half dozen community
organizations. Hundreds of alumni took the
time to offer words of support and to share
inspiring stories of how their time at MSU
provided a foundation for success.
I've visited with dozens of local school
superintendents and talked with high school
principals, counselors, teachers and the
students they serve.
I've spent valuable time with the governor,
with the leadership and our alumni friends in
the state legislature, with the state commissioner of education, with the presidents of the
other public universities, with the leadership
of the Council on Postsecondary Education,
with leaders of business and government.
In summary, I've made an earnest effort to
get to know our stakeholders, hear their
praises and learn of their concerns.
Let me share some of the important things
that I've learned thus far.
From those who employ our graduates,
I've learned that our reputation is strong in
the region and that we are the institution of
choice for most students in the eastern third
of Kentucky. All of our academic programs
are good and many are outstanding and that
our faculty and staff have a caring attitude. I
went to visit WKYT - Channel 27 television
in Lexington and found that a full third of
their work force came from this institution.
And that our grads like Amber Philpott,
Kellie Wilson and Chris Bailey have great
futures because of their skills and what they
learned here.
That this historic institution in these beautiful hills has been the primary means of
access to higher education for more than
53,000 alumni. Our alumni include folks like
Billie Travis, Kentucky's public school teacher

of the year, and Steve Inskeep, host of
“Morning Edition,” the most popular program on National Public Radio, and thousands of others with their own personal success stories. I've had countless people tell me
that if it hadn't been for MSU they would
never have been able to achieve a college education.
That our alumni are very proud of MSU
and that we have always been an institution
of opportunity for first-generation students.
That we are an excellent value for the
amount of tuition paid, providing opportunity to those who otherwise might be unable to
go to college.
That our faculty and staff are hard
working and creative with learning technologies and the result is an excellent environment
for education.
That we have been the statewide leader in
reaching out to our region through the
establishment of five regional campuses, by
forging a partnership with others to form the
University Center of the Mountains, by
starting 2+2 programs with our area community and technical colleges and through pioneering distance learning technology, including our MBA program, the state's first online
degree.
Last year U.S.News & World Report identified MSU as one of the top 25 regional universities of our type in the South, consisting
of 12 states from Kentucky to Florida and
west to the Mississippi River. That's a distinctive honor. But we all know that we can do
better. So, here's what I propose to our faculty, staff and others as our shared vision for the
future.
MSU aspires to be the best regional,
comprehensive, public university of our type
in the South.
Some of you may be thinking that the
vision is too lofty. Other may be thinking that
it is not lofty enough. This no doubt will be
discussed and debated later.
But I believe if we are to achieve this
vision, a number of critical things must occur
if we truly want to move a good institution to
greatness.
We must focus on the student as the
learner and student success as the outcome.
We must be willing to try new ways, such as
undergraduate fellowships we are starting this
fall to match top students with top professors
who will involve them in research or creative
production on a daily basis. Did you know
that MIT uses astronomy mapping software
written by MSU students studying under
Professor Ben Malphrus?
We must strive to achieve excellence in
everything we do. We must challenge each
other to be the best we can be. The College of
Business and the theatre program recently
achieved the highest accreditation available.
Our students consistently beat the
state and national averages in getting admitted to their first-choice
schools for medicine, law, dentistry,
pharmacy and Ph.D. and other
graduate programs. I'm talking
about students like Carlla Blanton
of Morgan County who is now in
New York City completing her residency in pediatric dentistry. Why
do hundreds of high school students
contact us each year to try out for
our cheer squads? Why? Because

Morehead State University Athletics has
a new look.
A series of new marks were announced
earlier this year, just in time for the Eagle
Football season.
“We believe these new marks will provide
new energy and signify that MSU Athletics
is ready to strengthen our programs and
our brand,” said Athletic Director
Brian Hutchinson (96). “We certainly want
to boost interest in our athletic programs,
and one way to do that is to have a new
image out there.
“We hope our constituent base will
respond with pride and that these new
marks will soon be associated with Eagle
Athletics across the country.”
The strutting eagle, which has represented the institution's programs since the mid1950s, has been replaced with a new eagle
with wings in flight. Secondary marks are
represented by a unique “M” design, an
eagle head design and an “MSU” mark.
Sport and program specific marks also have
been produced.
“These marks don't replace anything
that represents the institution, such as the
mountain 'M',” Hutchinson said.
“However, we did want to freshen the look
for our athletic programs with these marks
and lettering systems. I believe we've
accomplished that goal.”
The new logo and fonts will begin to
replace all existing athletic marks during the
2005-06 year and will be fully implemented
prior to the 2006-07 seasons.
Dugout Media, Inc. is the sports marketing firm hired by MSU to create the new
image.
“We are delighted to work on launching
a new image for a university with high academics and athletic quality such as
Morehead State,” said Scott Hacker (96),
president of Dugout Media, Inc. “It is
always nice to see new logos represented on
new uniforms, merchandise and athletic
venues. This new image for athletics will
build excitement to an already growing fan
base.”

This marks the sixth academic honor for
MSU in the award's 19-year history.
MSU was represented 83 times on the

lives of students in a very positive way, fostering pride in our mission of service to the
region and beyond.
