Endless Possibilities and Exciting
Responsibilities—
Transforming the LMU Community
L
B. James Dawson, EdD
President
incoln Memorial University is one of those special
places that embraces you and immediately makes
you feel a part of the academic community. Almost
two years ago I came here to spend a year as we
searched for a new president. I learned to appreciate
the people, the mission, the beautiful campus and most
of all, the dynamic atmosphere that leads to change
here. It was easy for me to decide I wanted to spend
more time at such a progressive place. That decision
has been very positive for me and this fine school
continues to make tremendous progress because we
have so many dedicated individuals who care about the
students we serve and the future of the University. As
I think about the past year and look forward to another
exciting year ahead, I am convinced that we will continue
to grow into a truly unique institution of higher education.
Yes, LMU will become even more distinctive, but we will
also be true to the mission we serve. Our alumni and
friends, who continually support this learning community,
will know that we are committed to servicing this region
while we expand the influence and reputation of the
University well beyond Appalachia. Lincoln Memorial
University was founded as a living memorial to President
Lincoln and it continues to be a place that honors his
name. I am proud to be a part of that rich heritage.
Colleges and universities are wonderful places. That
fact, coupled with my strong belief that education holds
the greatest promise for a brighter tomorrow, is why I
decided long ago that I would devote my career to higher
ed administration. But what makes a place great? I
believe people make the difference. We need all types
of people with different backgrounds, knowledge and
skills sets to make LMU a premier institution. And each
year, as we write a new chapter in the life of Lincoln
Memorial University, we recognize the members of our
community for their years of service and dedication.
These are the people who serve the students who
choose to learn with us. In August, we acknowledged 53
men and women on the anniversary of their fifth, tenth,
fifteenth, twentieth, twenty-fifth, thirtieth and forty-fifth
years of employment with LMU. You will find their names
and positions on page 4. You will recognize the names
of those who taught you, coached you, mentored you
and even gave you your mail every day. Interspersed
are countless others who did not celebrate a five year
incremental anniversary but who have also been with the
University for a long time. All of these people, like me,
believe in what LMU stands for.

2009-2010: A Year of Exciting Responsibilities
The pages that have been devoted to this report could
not hold all of the events, highlights and happenings
during 2009-2010. We have tried to choose those things
that will give you the best overview of all that we have
been doing to maintain the Lincoln Memorial University
that you can be proud of. As always, we invite you to
visit us for a better picture because we believe you “have
to see it to believe it.”
Successes
Fiscal year 2009-2010 will be remembered as a year of
many successes. We were fortunate to have enrollment
growth when many of our peers and competitors were
not enjoying such positive trends. This period of growth
is nearing the 10-year mark, and our projections indicate
our enrollment is only going to continue on this pathway
to prosperity.
We were fortunate to receive outstanding reports
from accrediting bodies who visited our campus and
critiqued our programs. If you have kept up with our
accreditation process, you know that we have recently
received reports from visiting committees that have
contained no recommendations, and that is something
about which we can all take great pride. But I want to
share the same statement publicly that I have shared
internally with our faculty and staff. It is not common,
and it will not continue to happen forever. We are going
to receive recommendations. It won’t mean that we have
failed or done less than our very best. There should
be no negative connotation attached. It is just reality.
The good part is that we have a wonderful planning
and assessment model in place at LMU and by relying
on that process, we know we will be able to make the
adjustments that are needed to ensure that we are as
blemish-free as we can be.
We were fortunate to expand our presence in
Knoxville. In June, we officially opened LMU’s newest
extended learning site at Cedar Bluff. Because of growth
in enrollment and new programs, we had outgrown the
site on Hayfield Road. When we discovered a vacant
supermarket that could be remodeled and occupied
rather quickly, we were excited. Today, LMU Cedar
Bluff offers undergraduate and graduate programs in
business, education and nursing. The 37,000 square foot
facility includes two lecture halls, one accommodating
up to 86 students and a larger one that can hold 120;
five classrooms with capacities ranging from 40-60;
a 30-station computer lab; and a science lab and
a nursing skills lab which includes three individual
simulation rooms. There is office space for 48 individuals
and a conference room with video-chat capabilities.
Additionally, the facility includes individual and small
group study space. Embedded throughout LMU Cedar
Bluff is state-of-the-art learning technology.
We were fortunate to experience growth in program
offerings at our extended learning sites. The
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools has
approved the following: the Educational Specialist (EdS)
at Walters State Community College (WSCC)-Sevierville,
beginning Fall 2010; the Master of Education (MEd)
at WSCC-Sevierville, (Spring or Fall 2011); and the
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) at Cedar Bluff,
(Fall 2010-also received approval from the National
League for Nursing Accrediting Commission).
There are other new programs/sites being considered
but approval will take time. Plans are in motion for
additional expansion to our extended learning sites as
well as here in Harrogate. Nothing can move forward
until all approvals have been granted, but allow me to
share some of our dreams with you. Within allied health
sciences: the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in
Veterinary Technology at Kingsport Center for Higher
Education (KCHE) (Fall 2011); Bachelor of Science (BS)
in Medical Technology at KCHE (Spring 2011); Bachelor
of Science (BS) in Health Sciences (new program) at
Harrogate (Fall 2011): and the Bachelor of Science in
Medical Technology at Cedar Bluff (Fall 2011). Within
business: Management and Leadership Studies (MLP)
at Roane State Community College, LaFollette and Oak
Ridge (Fall 2011); Master of Business Administration
for law students (Summer 2011); and a MBA certificate
program (Summer 2011). And within nursing: MSN
at KHEC (Spring 2010/Fall 2011); MSN: Psych Mental
Health concentration at Cedar Bluff (Spring 2011); and
MSN: Family Nurse Practitioner concentration at KHEC
(Fall 2011). Such dramatic program growth is evidence
that LMU is a vibrant learning community
We were fortunate to finish the year fiscally sound.
It is vital that we live within our means, and all of us
around the proverbial table are mindful of our precious
resources and the need to spend them wisely. As a
private institution, we are tuition driven, but it is not our
desire to burden our students with skyrocketing costs.
For that reason, we are constantly seeking grants and
other funding sources that will aid us in our delivery
of services. Our vice presidents and academic deans
are also charged with monitoring spending patterns
within their areas to make sure that departments stay
within budget. I would be remiss if I did not take this
opportunity to thank those of you who support LMU
with your donations. Your continued support helps us
tremendously in our efforts, and it is greatly appreciated.
Together we can continue to provide an educational
opportunity of uncommon quality.
Yes, 2009-2010 was an outstanding year, and one
that positions this University to move forward with our
plans to transition to a Level VI institution. This status
acknowledges that we are adding doctoral programs
and have increased our commitment to research and
scholarly activity.

We are a learning community that incorporates values,
education and service as part of our commitment to
prepare graduates for a society that desperately needs
the service of those who are capable of becoming
leaders and change agents. There are many ways
that we could distinguish the current year that we are
experiencing.
being developed, are piquing the interest of students
from around the country. Our move to Level VI status,
positioning LMU among the elite private schools of
Tennessee, the expansion into Sevierville and the
expansion of our other core centers have already begun
and will continue to have an astounding effect on our
growth pattern in the coming months.
The year 2010-2011 will be known as the year of
accreditation. Several programs have already had,
or will soon have, accreditation visits. There’s that
infamous word again! The programs under review will
be: DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine, Johh
J. Duncan, Jr. School of Law, education (entering the
process), business, nursing and veterinary technology.
The year 2010 will be the year of reorganization.
We are very close to naming a new vice president for
academic affairs. That position will no longer carry with
it the title of provost. With the creation of the Division
of Health Sciences, there will be some changes to our
organizational structure, but everyone is excited about
those changes and ready to move forward.
The year 2010-2011 will be known as the year of
construction. If you attended Homecoming 2010, you
heard about the plans for the new math and science
center that will sit on the hill beside the BusinessEducation Building. With the addition of a medical school
and the expansion of our health science offerings, it is
essential to ensure that our math and science programs
be equipped to adequately prepare students seeking
those career paths. This building will be four stories
and will provide much-needed classroom and laboratory
facilities. Work has already commenced on many other
projects, including renovation of the barn and veterinary
technology facility, renovation of the Cumberland
Mountain Research Center, creation of a track and field
facility and a new building for our maintenance operation.
Also opened this year in the former Splitters Lounge is
WOW Cafe and Wingery.
The year 2010-2011 will be the year of the student.
They are the heartbeat of the institution. They are the
reason we build new buildings, plan new programs, open
new teaching sites and hire more faculty. They are our
future, and they are the reason we exist. Therefore, we
must all stay focused. In the midst of our new program
initiatives and building new facilities, we must remember
that we have an ever increasing number of currently
enrolled students who require our very best efforts. The
joy of our daily endeavors is related to the opportunities
we have to make a difference in the lives of the students
we serve. They are the reason our lives are exciting and
our mission is worthwhile. They are the reason I get up
every morning excited about the future of our Lincoln
Memorial University.
Student success is our reward. It is what motivates
us. It is what energizes us. It is what makes this place
special.
Again, many thanks to you as faithful alumni and friends
of Lincoln Memorial University.
The year 2010-2011 will be known as the year of
growth. Some might argue that this has already been
very evident. While that is true, I believe additional
growth is on the horizon. The career path programs
that we are offering, as well those programs that are still

Caylor School of Nursing Expands Offerings in
Knoxville
LMU received unanimous
Tennessee Board of Nursing
(TBON) approval to expand
its offerings in Knoxville to
include a generic Bachelor
of Science in Nursing (BSN).
Already operating one of the
largest Associate of Science
in Nursing (ASN) degree
programs in the state of
Tennessee, LMU intends
to build a comprehensive BSN degree program
in Knoxville in addition to its already successful
Registered Nurse-Bachelor of Science in Nursing
(RN-BSN). LMU’s expanded BSN Program is
designed to allow students from area two- and fouryear schools to have a seamless transition in their
pursuit of an undergraduate nursing degree. The
ASN and the RN-BSN nurse education options are
currently available in the Knoxville area at St. Mary’s
Medical Center, and the ASN Program is available in
Alcoa, Tenn., at the Blount Memorial Hospital teaching
center. Opportunities for qualified baccalaureatetrained nurses are plentiful in the Knoxville area. A
baccalaureate degree in nursing can open the door
to career opportunities in hospitals, doctor’s offices,
clinics, assisted living facilities, nursing homes
and more. Like most fields, in nursing, education
translates to increased salaries and a BSN can be a
platform to continue on to a graduate degree.

Lincoln Symposium Brings National Scholars
April 2010
The Symposium originated in 1997 to celebrate the
centennial of Lincoln Memorial University. Endorsed
by the national Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial
Commission, the fourth installment of the event was
designed to bring together scholars, students, Civil
War enthusiasts and Lincoln fans of all ages. The
Symposium featured many of America’s best-known
and respected scholars.
May 2010
Every four years, LMU and the Abraham Lincoln
Library and Museum (ALLM)
invite scholars from across the
country to gather to reflect on the
life of the nation’s 16th president.
This was the fourth symposium
for LMU and the ALLM. The
2010 Symposium covered
Lincoln’s war-torn presidency
with a program entitled, And the
War Came: Lincoln’s America.
Dr. Victoria Ott, professor of history at BirminghamSouthern College, was the keynote speaker. Ott is
the author of Confederate Daughters: Coming of Age
During the Civil War, and her talk paralleled her book.

Trustees welcomed
Dr. Charles Holland,
‘62, founder and
CEO of QualPro,
Inc., to its ranks
during the
spring board
meeting. Holland
developed the
multivariable
testing (MVT)
process while
leading efforts to
solve the critical
problem in a vital nuclear weapons plant during the
height of the Cold War. He went on to found QualPro
at the urging of quality guru W. Edwards Deming.
Over the last 27 years, QualPro consultants have
assisted clients in implementing MVT at over 1,000
companies including many of the Fortune 500. Earlier
this year, QualPro consultants implemented MVT to
improve LMU’s student recruitment and fundraising
efforts. Holland authored the book, Breakthrough
Business Results with MVT, which discusses the
12-step process of MVT. The book describes and
documents MVT’s far-reaching success. LMU
business faculty have used the book in their curricula
since its release in 2005.
Holland earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics
at LMU and furthered his education at Florida State
University and the University of Tennessee.

Donald W. and George F. Parker Endowed Scholarship
Insurance executive Donald Parker, ‘63, of Orlando, Fla., endowed a $25,000 scholarship at LMU. Parker
made an initial contribution to the Donald W. and
George F. Parker Endowed Scholarship and will
continue to build the final total total over the next four
years.
Parker has chosen to name the scholarship in
honor of himself and his father who both graduated
from LMU. Additionally, both of Parker’s siblings,
Robert and Vicki, also attended LMU. Parker has
earmarked the scholarship for a Claiborne High
School graduate in honor of his Claiborne County
roots.
The scholarship will be awarded annually to an LMU
student who is a graduate of Claiborne High School,
has financial need and is recommended by a high
school guidance counselor. Students with the desire
to become military officers will be given preferential
treatment.

Subject: Ross Carter Scholarship
With the cost of college tuition rising all the time, it is a relief when financial
assistance can be obtained. I am currently enrolled in a post-graduate program at
Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) in the Education Specialist (EdS) program. I
would eventually like to earn my doctorate degree once I finish the EdS program.
To accomplish this goal will take hard work, much dedication, and yes, financial
assistance.
It is a small world, two months ago I was speaking to my landlord, Judy Williams. In the conversation I mentioned my
enrollment at LMU. She informed me of a scholarship at LMU that some veterans and friends of the 504th Parachute
Infantry Regiment (PIR) of the 82nd Airborne Division had established. It is called the Ross S. Carter Endowed
Scholarship. Ross Carter also graduated from LMU in 1941, where he majored in history. Ross went on to become
a decorated war hero in World War II, as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division. I recently had the opportunity
to read the book that Ross Carter wrote about his time spent in World War II. It is an amazing book called, “Those
Devils in Baggy Pants.” It is a memoir of his wartime service.
Reed Williams, Judy’s husband, also served in the 504th PIR and is a member of the Ross Carter Chapter 82nd
Airborne Division.
I appreciate the contributions that the Williams (and others) have made to help students who are trying to reach their
goals. It is through financial assistance like the Ross Carter Scholarship that allows me to continue reaching new
academic goals.
Many thanks,
David Berry

Stiner Estate Gift Yields $1 Million for Scholarships
LMU lost a great friend nearly two years ago when James Stiner passed
away, but his commitment to learning will live on for generations to come
through the Inez and James B. Stiner Endowed Scholarship in memory
of Mr. and Mrs. H. Clay Stiner and G. S. Stiner.
Stiner, along with his sister Inez, established the scholarship in 2005
honoring their parents and grandfather. The Stiners’ annual scholarship is
for students that hail from their native county, Union County, Tenn., or the
surrounding area. Priority will be given to Union County residents. Inez
Stiner graduated from LMU in 1953 and resides in Paducah, Ky.
Stiner was raised in Sharps Chapel, Tenn. He attended the University
of Tennessee before being called to duty during World War II. Following
the war he worked for J. C. Penney and got his real estate license before
becoming a broker and auctioneer. Stiner resided in Morristown, Tenn., for
much of his adult life and was active in a number of organizations.
