EDITOR'S NOTE
Jeffrey Scott
/
Editor
As you will notice, there is quite a bit different
about this latest issue of our University magazine. It has
been several years since the last redesign of Mount Vernon
NOW, and we felt it was time to give the magazine a
facelift. Our aim was to provide a more modern look and
feel, and to provide a template for regular and relevant
content going forward. We hope you will be pleased with
what you find inside.
Among the changes you’ll notice, the magazine
has been renamed NOW, which has always been the
familiar identifying title for the magazine among our
constituencies. We’ve changed the paper we’re printing on,
moving to an uncoated stock providing a better platform
for photos and graphics and easier readability.
As for content, we’ve created some recurring
sections like News & Notes, featuring campus highlights
and interesting perspectives; Destination Education, in
this issue showcasing the Collegians Chorale and their
recent excursion throughout Eastern Europe; and the
Chaplain’s Corner, where University Chaplain Joe Noonen
offers his unique perspective on our shared commitment
to faith and learning.
The new (and hopefully improved) NOW will be
distributed twice each year, each spring and fall. This
will allow the University to maximize its resources in
communicating with Alumni, churches, and other invested
partners.
We do hope you enjoy this first edition of
the redesigned Mount Vernon Nazarene University
publication, NOW, and we would love to hear your
feedback. Please feel free to let us know what you think
via email at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Scott
Editor
BEHIND THE REDESIGN
The redesign of this magazine reflects the good work of a large number of individuals across the MVNU campus.
But we would be remiss if we did not recognize the efforts of MVNU alumnus Arthur Cherry (’05), an outstanding
graphic designer currently living and working in Kansas City. Arthur runs his own design company, Design By
AAD, and has been instrumental in helping us translate our conceptual ideas into a beautiful new layout and
structure. For more information about his work, we would encourage you to visit his website, arthuradesign.com.

MVNU PROFESSOR SURVIVES
ELEPHANT ATTACK
An African wildlife safari turned
harrowing for Dr. Randy Cronk and his wife,
Becky, while venturing through the Okavango Delta
near Maun, Botswana, in June. As part of their “African
Encounter” vacation through southern Africa, the
couple’s safari group encountered an elephant about 70
yards away. The elephant began to move toward them.
“The fear sets in really fast,” said Dr. Cronk, as he
described running for a fallen tree about 30 yards away as
six or seven elephants joined the charge. Diving under the
tree, “I could see and feel an elephant tusking and kicking
and trunking at my feet,” he said. Becky was in the rear of
the group and attempted to take cover near Randy. She was
kicked or stomped on at least three times, on her legs and
back, after feeling a large crash up against the side her head.
The whole incident lasted maybe 30 seconds and was over
just as quickly as it began.
The one-hour walk back to camp was difficult,
especially for Becky, who was carried at times, due to a large
hematoma on her right thigh. Two doctors on the tour,
from New Zealand and England, tended to Becky’s injuries
that evening before a helicopter evacuated her and Randy
to a medical clinic. X-rays verified no broken bones, but
significant blood loss, bruising, whiplash, and a possible
concussion. Randy suffered only minor cuts and bruises.
The Cronks remained with the tour, and Randy
admits he’d be willing to take another walking safari,
though Becky is understandably more hesitant.
“I don’t know how we survived. I’ve been praising
God for our lives every day since,” said Becky.
THE SCHEME
Dr. Robert Hamill,
MVNU Vice President
for Finance, has
recently published
a legal thriller. The
Scheme is the story
of Mark Holman, a
recent law school graduate, who
discovers his new employer is up to
no good. Meanwhile, Mark struggles
with his own lack of faith as his wife’s
prayers keep in from harm.
Dr. Hamill has been an attorney for
almost 30 years and a professor
and administrator in a variety of
academic settings. His new book is
available on Amazon and at
outskirtspress.com/thescheme.
ETERNAL. SO TO SPEAK.
LIFE CHANGING
This summer, at the Church of the Nazarene
General Assembly, MVNU unveiled a series of videos
focused on the University tag line, Life Changing. The videos
tell the story of the University through the life-changing
impact of the MVNU experience on students, alumni, faculty
and staff, as well as the lives of those they touch.
Dr. Henry Spaulding has used the videos in
speaking to the campus community, Nazarene leaders, and
other constituencies. “Our work is indeed life-changing, and
we ought to take great pride in that. This is an important
reminder of lasting impact MVNU is making for the
Kingdom around the world,” he explains.
You can view these videos on the MVNU YouTube
channel at youtube.com/MVNU1968.
We probably don’t have to tell you that the
“eternal” part of our beloved Eternal Flame has been a
bit, well, more occasional than eternal throughout much
of its existence. While it has become perhaps MVNU’s
most recognized
landmark, the actual
flame itself has
been unfortunately
vulnerable to regular
periodic outages.
That’s why we’re
thrilled that the
newest upgrade
to our cherished
symbol—the fifth such redesign since it was dedicated in
1970—provides such a consistent and visible blaze. Here’s
hoping the past few weeks are a sign of things to come!

NEWS & NOTES
PEDALING FOR A CAUSE
MVNU’s partnership with The Luke
Commission—fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic through
the M2540 Swaziland initiative—got a boost this year from
2 young men with a different idea of how to spend their
Spring Break.
For a year and a half, Cody Raudebaugh and
Mitchell Adams had taken cycling trips together. “But
we wanted to do something bigger than ourselves,” said
Cody. Cody and Mitch began to cast a vision to the campus
community to ride from MVNU to Washington, D.C., to
raise money and awareness for the ministry.
“Cody and Mitch cast the vision in our mission
and ministry chapel, and they had a group,” University
Chaplain Joe Noonen explained. “They took care of every
single logistical detail, completed all the paperwork to get
approved, pulled together support resources, and on the first
day of spring break, rode off campus on their way.”
Twenty students, 13 men and 7 women, agreed
MVNU LEGACY
STUDENTS
New students and parents
gathered for the 11th Annual Alumni
to tackle the 500-mile trek to Washington, D.C., over the
course of 9 days. The group biked 70 to 75 miles a day
from Ohio through West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Maryland—even through parts of the Appalachian
Mountains. “Many churches opened their doors to us,”
explained Cody. “God prepared those places ahead of
time for us. They fed us breakfasts and dinners. We shared
stories about The Luke Commission and left pamphlets and
magazines with them.”
After all accounts were settled and expenses
paid, the 20-members team raised $8,508 for The Luke
Commission. “Cody and Mitch represent all that is good
about MVNU. Their vision and passion represent what can
happen when we live in loving obedience,” said Noonen.
“I have heartfelt respect and gratitude for this memorable
experience.”

THE
Feature
From The

Chaplain's
Corner
A magnet once hung on my refrigerator. It read
“Today is what happens while we are planning for tomorrow.”
While partly true, the statement misses a great deal. MVNU
leans toward the future, but depends upon its deep roots to
bring focus on tomorrow. In fact, every year we invite a new
group of students into a story that began long before they
arrived. Largely, the work of the president involves helping
MVNU build toward the future upon its rich roots.
The national media relentlessly predicts a dire future for
higher education in America. Economic, social, political, and
moral challenges chip away at the confidence of some. Yet, the
faculty, staff, administration, and trustees find inspiration from
Moses as he addressed those about to enter Canaan,
“If you say to yourself, ‘These nations are more
numerous than I, how can I dispossess them?’ do not
be afraid of them. Just remember what the Lord your
God did to Pharaoh and to all of Egypt . . . the signs
and wonders, the mighty hand and the outstretched
arm by which the Lord your God brought you out.
The Lord will do the same to all the peoples of
whom you are afraid”
Deuteronomy 7: 17-19
Tomorrow is shaped by optimism borne of faith and
memory. The University is thinking about the kind of people
we want to be, the Church we serve, the academic programs we
offer, and the manner in which we intend to use our resources.
Our “Core Convictions” offer a glimpse of our roots,
Mount Vernon Nazarene University is an intentional
Christian community seeking to embody several core
values that serve as touchstones for accomplishing our
educational mission. These values are:
• A vital Faith that integrates every aspect of Mount
Vernon Nazarene University.
• A vital partnership with the Church, both the
Church of the Nazarene as well as the broader
Christian community.
• Provide a quality Education framed by the liberal arts
and professional competence.
• The context of a Community shaped by mutual respect
and accountability as expression of Wesleyan-Holiness
theology.
• Character as the expression of the moral formation
inherent in our educational mission.
• Stewardship of the resources entrusted to this
University.
The University, as a Christian community, reflects upon
the sources of wisdom illuminated by the Judeo-Christian faith.
Core Values of
Mount Vernon Nazarene University
11
NOW Fall 2013
Moses is speaking to a new generation of people who,
for the most part, did not experience the flight from Egypt.
Literally, he told the story again to remind them that the future
belongs to those who can lean toward the future in clear sight of
history. Those who count out places like MVNU do not know
that our history goes to the creation of the world. Our ancestors
“wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in
the ground” (Hebrews 11:38b). We follow a simple carpenter
and dare to believe the totality of all that exists will someday
come into submission to him. Yet we know that walls need
to be built, journeys taken, tears shed, failures acknowledged,
and victories won. We have good work to do! According to
the writer of Hebrews, “faith is the assurance of things hoped
for, the convictions of things not seen” (11:1). The Christian
tradition offers us the vantage point by which planning and
remembering take place.
In fact, every freshman begins his or her study with us by taking
a course titled “Discipleship of the Christian Mind.” We believe
that the mind, heart, and body are joined together through
the firm conviction and practice of an integrated education in
partnership with the Christian church, especially the Church of
the Nazarene. We believe that a community shaped by mutual
respect and accountability can frame a quality education with
a liberal arts context and professional focus. We intend to
graduate accountants, social workers, pastors, and others, who
have been exposed to literary masterpieces, artistic and musical
achievements, and momentous historical events. People who can
read, write, analyze, and lead with wisdom form the long-range
trajectory of our community. Most of all, we want our graduates
to embody a character capable of creative and principled
engagement with culture.
Our “Strategic Plan” grows from our “Core
Convictions.” Essentially, our plan points the particular way we
intend to embody convictions,
• Disciplined Reflection on the nature and role of the
Christian university in the twenty-first century.
• Become a resource for understanding WesleyanHoliness theology and its impact upon the world.
• Develop sustainable, competitive programs and
initiatives that promote critical thinking, academic
rigor, and professional excellence.
• Engender a University Culture characterized by
hospitality, maturity, personal growth, service and
mutual respect.
• Develop structures, processes and policies that
enhance financial stability.
Core Convictions of
Mount Vernon Nazarene University
Our students
arrive with iPads,
Smartphones,
laptops, and an
entire digital
world at their
fingertips.
Students
have email,
Facebook,
Twitter,
Instagram,
and Tumblr
accounts. When
a professor makes
a comment in class,
students can “google”
for accuracy. The amount of
data and the reach of the web are
changing the way we educate. While our values
have not and will not change, the way we think of a university
and the way we educate will require significant attention. The
surge of online classes, programs, and universities will inevitably
change what mentorship means. Does this mean that the
relationship between professor and student will be inferior to
the past? There will be a difference, but whether the interchange
is face-to-face or via the web, mentorship remains critical.
MVNU intends to think deeply and widely regarding
the resources of the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. Theology
engages all aspects of the University. A coherent faith requires
intellectual sweat. We intend to be a resource for the Church as
we think together about what it means to see the world through
the cross. The words of Paul inform our work, “For the message
about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
Thoughts? See what others
are saying. #MVNUNOW
preparation for meaningful careers.
After all, there is no conflict
between a disciplined mind and
a disciple.
A Christ-formed
education takes place
in community, virtual
or actual. The organic
community of faith must
permeate every relationship
on campus. We are moved
by others for the sake of
Christ. Love surpasses and
embodies the law. According to
Paul, “[love] rejoices in the truth” (1
Corinthians 13:6b). The point is the community
that engenders Christ understands the crucial role of
embodiment. We love “not in word or speech, but in truth and
action” (1 John 3:18b). Our community testifies to the creeds we
proclaim.
Finally, our long-term vision takes form through
processes that promote sustainability. Stewardship means that
we recognize the gifts entrusted to our campus. Our mission
requires diligence regarding capital. The University looks like
buildings and budgets until we see the eternal significance of
our faculty, staff, and students. MVNU intends to honor the
resources entrusted to us.
When I drive onto the MVNU campus, a subtle
joy takes hold of my heart. I know that on any given day
transformation, enlightenment, and/or renewed vision might
make a difference for someone. Working on this campus
requires a watchful eye, an expectant heart, and an engaged
intellect.
Great days are ahead for MVNU!

NOW Fall 2013
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God” (1
Corinthians 1:18). Our University lives in the shadow
the cross. Richard John Neuhaus, former editor of
First Things, suggests that universities are prone to
lose their way. The ever present challenge is to
renounce the easy dichotomies of our time and
renew our efforts to bring our understanding
into submission to the Christian faith. Wesley
understood that education exists
to turn our bias from selfwill, pride, anger, and
the love of the world.
Such an education
subdues wrong passion.
Fundamentally, an education
in the Wesleyan-Holiness
tradition seeks to restore our
rational nature to the Lordship
of Christ. We intend to offer a
Christ-formed education. Such a
vision requires gospel-disciplined
intellectual pursuit.
Academic vision requires
the daily work of providing sustainable
academic programs. Graduates expect
meaningful vocations upon commencement.
Teachers, human resource directors, missionaries, medical
doctors, pastors, and nurses must compete in the marketplace
with those prepared at other institutions. The educational
mission of the University means that our students are educated
by professors who are fully prepared. Plans are underway
to extend our offerings to engineering, dental hygiene, and
financial planning, with additional graduate programs in
social work and nursing. Our educational mission includes

DESTINATION
The Mount Vernon Nazarene University Collegians
Chorale engaged in a life changing mission/concert trip on
the Eurasia region of the Church of the Nazarene to Croatia,
Austria, and Hungary. The group of twenty-seven was
comprised of 21 students, director Dr. Robert Tocheff and
his wife Diana, and Collegians alumni Dr. Robert Mahaffey
and his wife Elaine. Dr. Mahaffey pastors the Church of the
Nazarene in West Chester, Ohio, and serves as Vice Chairman
of the MVNU Board of Trustees.
The group partnered in ministry with Nazarene
missionaries David and Betsy Scott, who serve in Croatia, as
well as with Hungarian national Nazarene leaders Imre and
Maria Gusztin and their son Rudolf.
Dr. Tocheff was kind enough to share a summary of this
extraordinary experience with us.
DUBROVNIK AND SPLIT, CROATIA
Our trip began in the stunning, historic walled city of
Dubrovnik. After an enjoyable tour of the walls and city, we
headed up the beautiful Adriatic coast to the city of Split—
noted for the architectural wonder of Diocletian’s Palace and
other ancient edifices. The choir sang to appreciative crowds that
gathered in the excellent acoustical setting of the ruins.
" The purpose of the mission/concert trips abroad is to allow the MVNU students to
use their talents and what they learn in the classroom to minister to people in another
culture, to expand their concept of outreach beyond familiar surroundings, and to see
how God is working in the Church of the Nazarene in other parts of the world."
—Dr. Robert Tocheff
ZAGREB, CROATIA
AND SURROUNDINGS
VIENNA AND
EISENSTADT AUSTRIA
Reaching Zagreb we understood that our ministry would
reach a new level as we begin to assist missionaries David and
Betsy Scott in their efforts to begin the Nazarene Church in
Croatia. The Scotts shared their hearts, and explained how we
would be ministering in the coming days at five main ministry
points:
Having assisted the start-up of the Nazarene Church in
Hungary in the 1990’s, it was a joy for Collegians to return to
partner with Imre and Maria Gusztin. After a moving service
at St. Emery Church where the choir provided music for a
mass followed by a full concert, the Gusztins determined that
an effective ministry effort in Budapest would be a joint service
with the Nazarene congregation and the Budakeszi Methodist
Church. Joining us at these two concerts was Field Strategy
Coordinator – Central Europe Jay Sunberg and his wife
Teanna. Following a lunch of incredible Hungarian Goulash,
we headed east to the small city of Hajdúhadház to celebrate
with this growing Nazarene congregation. Indeed this was
another highlight of the trip as the people joined us in “How
Great Is Our God” and as we shared our repertoire to this
appreciative crowd.
1. At the thrift store that the Scotts have begun for the
community, the choir picked up trash, then sang for
those who gathered.
2. In concert at Sacred Heart Basilica.
3. Through singing, playing and giving gifts to
children at a gazebo in the prominent town park.
4. We offered a concert and an encouraging devotional
by Dr. Mahaffey at an English-speaking service at
Kuslanova, where the Scotts are partnering.
5. In the small city of Koprivnica where the Scotts are
wanting to expand the church, we sang and shared
with this gathering of warm and friendly people.
BUDAPEST, HUNGARY
We toured this renowned musical city then presented
a ministry concert at the Minoriten Kirche. On the way to
Hungary we stopped in Eisenstadt and were able to sing in the
famous Haydn Hall and Chapel.

The heightened emotions and the realization of how big
our God is anywhere in the world confirmed our mission to
engage other cultures and realize the MVNU vision To Change

MVNU scholarships and endowments are important to both the students who receive
them and the donors who generously provide them.
WHY MVNU?
“I felt like that was where God wanted me. Honestly, everything just kept
lining up for me to attend. It was as if God was saying, ‘I can do awesome
things with you if you’re obedient.’”
F UT URE GO ALS
Jenesis feels that God has gifted her with a passion and talent for music.
She fells called to honor that gift, and hopes to one day serve as a Worship
Pastor.

“These scholarships have been an incredible blessing, not just financially,
but also by motivating me to do my very best. It certainly took a huge
weight off of my shoulders—just knowing that someone was willing to
support me and that they believe in me.”
“Thank you for believing in me! Not only is your support providing me
with the opportunity to learn in the best environment available, but it is
also preparing me for the rest of my life.”
Bill and Chris Culler live in Knoxville, Tennessee, where Bill is a Buyer
for a government contractor and Chris is an accounting supervisor. Bill
graduated from MVNU in 1996 with a degree in Business Administration
and managed the campus bookstore for a year.

A number of years ago, Bill and Chris were looking for a way to give back
to the MVNU community. “We felt that an Endowment would create a
self-sustaining scholarship fund for many years to come. Our goal is to
help as many students as possible that need assistance,” explains Bill. The
endowment awards financial assistance to students who maintain a 3.0
GPA and demonstrate a financial need. “We felt that this would reach a
significant number of students that have a true desire to learn and succeed
in their University experience.”

Nancy Fetty Hall (Professor of
Business & Secretarial Studies at
MVNU, 1968-1971) has announced the
sudden passing of her husband, Rev. Kenneth
W. Hall, on May 8, 2013. He was 65 years
old. Rev. Hall was a graduate of West Virginia
University and received a M.Div. degree
from Wheaton College Graduate School in
Wheaton, Illinois. Rev. & Mrs. Hall pastored
churches in the Naperville, Illinois/Chicago
land area for nearly 42 years. Rev. Hall also
served as Police Chaplain with the Naperville
Police Department for 35 years. At the time
of his passing, Rev. Hall was President of
Bridegroom Ministries, "ministering to Jesus,
the Bridegroom, by Serving His Bride, the
Church." Galatians 2:20 describes Rev. Hall's
life and ministry: "I have been crucified with
Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ
lives in me; and the life which I now live in
the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God Who
loved me and gave Himself up for me." Ken
& Nancy were married in August, 1971, after
her 3-year teaching career at what was known
then as MVNC, during the "founding" years.
The Halls have two sons and six grandchildren.

These bedazzled Converse All-Stars were a gift
from David Huffman (’77), who (proudly?) wore

R e v. J o e N o o n e n
It was the fall of 1980, and I was finishing my time
as a student at Mount Vernon Nazarene College. Like
many who were here at that time, I had the privilege
of sitting in classes taught by Dr. David Cubie. As a
parting gift of our time together, Dr. Cubie gave me an
autographed copy of a manuscript he was working on at
the time: Into His Likeness: Various Papers on the Doctrine
of Entire Sanctification.
I have carried that with me all these years,
making sure it was always displayed prominently on my
" The Christian college, because it is in the world
but not of the world, has the responsibility to
counteract the influence of the prevailing culture."
bookshelves. In truth, parts of it got me into some trouble
in seminary when I quoted from it and discovered that
some Church of the Nazarene theologians were not all on
the same page.
/
University Chaplain
Recently, since being named
University Chaplain, I took it off
the shelf once again in an attempt to
encounter the heart of Dr. Cubie. As I
dove into his insights, these words—pages
66 and 67 of my autographed early edition—stopped me
in my tracks. I believe these timeless words frame the call
of the Christian college or university:
The Christian college, because it is in the world but not
of the world, has the responsibility to counteract the influence
of the prevailing culture … Mount Vernon Nazarene College,
whether recognizing the magnitude of the task or not, has
chosen in its goal statements to take on this responsibility
… it must work toward transformation recognizing that
transformation of individuals and through them society is both
necessary and a gracious possibility.
The next time I see Dr. Cubie, I am going to
read these words to him and ask what he thinks of the
Vision Statement of Mount Vernon Nazarene University:
To change the world with the love of Christ.
