“ Through the M.I.K.E. Scholarship Award, which supports youth of Southeastern NC, I feel confident that Methodist
College will provide our community and state with future leaders and productive citizens. I applaud Methodist College for its dedication to instill the value of education in its students; it provides a forum where values are taught, choices are clarified, and where, above all, hope for a brighter future is kept alive.”
Congressman Mike McIntyre

The Methodist College community came together in a combined effort to contribute its support in the aftermath of
September 11, 2001. As our nation watched the tragic events occur, students, faculty and staff tried to deal with the emotions and new realities that America faced.
Without hesitation, many began to coordinate efforts to provide relief for the victims and their families. A blood drive was already under way on campus that day, however, the horrific news brought a crowd much larger than originally anticipated. The drive was immediately moved from the lobby of a residence hall to the more spacious Berns Student Center.
Hundreds gathered that afternoon to volunteer their time and donate blood through the American Red Cross Highlands Chapter.
Many generous people had to be rescheduled for later in the week.
Marlene Lowrey, a junior biology major from Fayetteville, organized a service around the College’s Bell Tower. “After the attack on America, I felt led by the Lord to have a moment of silence for those who lost their lives, their families and for those who were working very hard to recover the victims,” Ms. Lowrey said. The service, attended by more than 400 people, included a moment of silence, prayer and inspirational singing.
As the participants joined hands, Mr. William Walker, assistant dean of students, led the group in prayer. Mr. Walker reflected on the events, “September 11th was a day of grief, anger and fear.
We gathered that Friday to ask our creator for the strength, the courage and the conviction to live in peace.
“We all needed the compassion of the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts. And for a moment, we were inspired from Heaven to live,”
Walker continued.
The offices of Student Media and Student Development Services joined together in an “Aid to America” campus-wide campaign.
Containers were placed all over campus to encourage students, faculty and staff to make contributions. The Athletic Department also collected donations at sporting events and on campus using firefighters’ boots honoring those heroes who risk their lives daily to ensure the safety of others.
Through on-going media, discussion and events, expressions of concern, sorrow and patriotism continue. The Rev. Benjamin Wells, campus minister, has challenged the campus to get involved, stay informed and to support our nation’s leaders.

ethodist College’s physician assistant program enrolled seven master’s degree candidates in August 2001. Four of the seven are Methodist graduates.
“We have a talented and diverse group,” said Ron Foster, director of the P.A. program. “The first students to receive master’s degrees from Methodist will graduate in December 2003, receiving Master of Medical Science degrees in Physician Assistant
Studies.”
The “lucky seven” were formally introduced at a white coat and oath ceremony held Jan. 31 in Hensdale Chapel. In that ceremony, P.A. instructors and other College officials spoke about the
Spirit, Knowledge, Commitment, Excellence, Virtue, Integrity,
Loyalty, and Compassion. Students received their white coats and took an oath to uphold high personal and professional standards as medical professionals.
Members of the first master’s class are: Kelli Bradshaw ’98;
William Cotton ’00; Sean Wilson ’01; Rebecca Howard ’01;
Genevieve C. Hansen, a 1993 graduate of Saint Louis University;

T n the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, senior art major Curtis W. Stephens III created a print called “I
Pledge Allegiance.” It shows a figure kneeling in prayer before a torn American flag. Where rows of white stars normally appear on a field of blue, he placed rows of white crosses against a gold background.
Stephens used a picture of this work on the cover of a post card advertising his senior art exhibition, which runs March 18-
April 11 in the College’s Mallett-Rogers House. He chose “Crossroads” as the theme for his exhibit, using a text from Jeremiah
6:16. His show features a total of 20 art works.
A native of Goldsboro, NC, Stephens is minoring in communications and would like to work in graphic design or advertising.
He describes himself as “a Christian artist” and says the market for
Christian art has grown in recent years, as ministers and churches have become more visually-oriented. He is a member of Salem
United Methodist Church in Goldsboro, but has attended Campground United Methodist in Fayetteville during his years at
Methodist College.
Silvana Foti, professor of art at Methodist, says Stephens is very sensitive to his subject matter and that his style has a definite
“cleanness” about it. Two years ago his sketch of two church bells was selected for the cover of the Methodist College Christmas card. His works have been shown locally at the Fayetteville
Museum of Art and at Cape Fear Regional Theatre.
One of the most striking works in his senior exhibit is an altar piece featuring five abstract silkscreen prints in vivid hues of teal, brown, and white. Several pen and ink drawings in the exhibit are baseball-related. Stephens played baseball at Charles B.
Aycock High School in Goldsboro and has pitched for the
Methodist Monarchs since he enrolled at the College.
When he walks onto the baseball diamond, Stephens takes his
Christian faith with him. Two years ago he started the Methodist
College chapter of Athletes in Action. In the summer after his sophomore year, he was part of Athletes in Action’s U. S. collegiate baseball team that played against teams in Nicaragua and
Mexico. Team members witnessed for Christ following each game.
Curtis Stephens may be unique in the way that he applies his
Christian values and beliefs to his art and to the game of baseball.
Many of his art works, including several that appear in his senior exhibition, can be seen on his Website, http:// christianart.topcities.com.

Remember that alumni can assist in recruiting new students to their alma mater by offering the
Greatest Gift Scholarship. Each academic year, the College allows alumni to award one scholarship to a full-time student whom he or she recruits for undergraduate programs. The amount of the scholarship is determined by the
Financial Aid Office and is renewed annually, provided the recipient makes satisfactory academic progress. Note — the scholarship must be processed 30 days prior to the student’s enrollment date at Methodist College.
Last year, 127 alumni helped in recruiting new students to the College for a total of 304 students receiving a Greatest Gift Scholarship. As a result, $205,383 was awarded in financial aid – thank you for helping with our recruiting efforts.
The College honors its alumni by funding the
Greatest Gift Scholarship. Please help a prospective student and your alma mater by awarding your scholarship. Call the Alumni Office at (910)
630-7167 or (800) 488-7110 to request an application.
Harris Publishing recently completed the 2001
Alumni Directory. As part of the contract, Harris’ special search mechanisms located more than 2,000
“lost alumni.” We’re also pleased to report that a total of 4,992 alumni records were updated.
Alumni purchased a total of 771 directories – up from a total of 148 for the 1997 directory. This was all at a minimal cost to the College.
The Alumni Office thanks everyone for their support of this project.

D entary School in Cumberland County and is completing her 29 th year in the classroom. A former Teacher of the Year in her school and school district, she plans to retire in 2003.
Mrs. Cade is one of four Methodist College grads now teaching at
Long Hill. The others are Dawn Thompson, Susan Ryan (Long Hill’s current Teacher of the Year), and Wendy Wise. In 1977, she earned a master’s degree from East Carolina University.
High expectations and good teaching at Long Hill have yielded impressive scores (better than 90 percent mastery) on end-of-grade student achievement tests and several state and national awards for the school. The stated goal at Long Hill is that 90 percent of the students at each grade level will attain mastery of the material mandated by the state’s Standard Course of Study.
The school’s theme, “Navigating Our Course to Excellence”, is posted in every classroom, along with Bloom’s Taxonomy (classification of educational objectives); mission statements for the school, teacher, and individual students; the school grading scale; and the day’s assignments. The “order of the day” for all grades at Long Hill is reading, math, lunch, writing, science, and resources (art, music, or P.E.).
On the second Friday in March, Mrs. Cade’s 24 third graders began their day by reading aloud and discussing a short story entitled “Two
Bad Ants,” and other stories about a magic pig, and a siroco (desert wind). Students eagerly raised their hands as they sought to answer the teacher’s questions about the difference between fantasy and realism and to give examples of similes.
Jane Cade has taught about 750 students over the last three decades. “Former students often write, call, or visit,” she said. “I have disciplined them, pulled their teeth, prayed for them, loved them and doctored them. Third grade is my favorite. Children are eager to learn at this age; they are developing creative and questioning minds. Many students have made me laugh, and others have made my eyes swell with tears.”
Mrs. Cade said she was inspired to become a teacher by her mother, who was a high school home economics teacher for 30 years. “She set me up with a classroom in our home, and I taught school to my dolls as a child. I was also inspired by many outstanding teachers that
I had over the years.”
What does she think of recent trends in public education? She supports end-of-grade testing of students, opposes merit pay for teachers based on student test scores, and opposes lateral entry, which allows persons from other occupations to enter teaching on a probationary basis. She considers “the hiring and retention of quality teachers” the greatest challenge facing the public schools.
Mrs. Cade does not regret her decision to become a teacher and encouraged her own daughter, Suzanne, to major in elementary education at Meredith College. Next fall, as Suzanne Cade begins her teaching career, Jane Cade will close out her 30-year career.

’70
T he Dunn family has made Methodist College a tradition.
Starting with A.W. Dunn, a former trustee, and then continuing down to his son,
Robert R. Dunn, class of ‘70, currently of Charlotte, NC.
But the tradition does not stop there. He and his former wife, Camellia Sizemore
Dunn, Class of ‘70, have recruited two additional students for their alma mater – their daughters, Dianne, class of ’01, and Leslie, a current freshman.
The Dunn family commitment to Methodist College entails much more than class attendance. Bob Dunn participates in many activities at the College. Most recently, he has volunteered many hours with the Paralegal Studies Program, headed by Mrs.
Wendy Vonnegut, Esq., serving on the Board of Directors. He has also been very generous to the program.
When his daughter, Dianne, graduated from the Paralegal Program, Dunn said he was impressed that she was immediately offered a position with a local law firm. “Hopefully, my support of this program will set an example for

Mr. & Mrs. Guo Q. Zhong those in the legal community to support this vital, important resource,” he said.
“Bob Dunn’s contributions, both of time and money, have enabled us to grow in so many directions, ” Vonnegut said. “Through resources such as guest speakers and library materials, students will be able to not only broaden their understanding of the law, but also apply those legal concepts.”
Dunn is president and principal shareholder of the Finley Group, Inc., a nationally-recognized and successful turnaround management firm with offices in Charlotte and Atlanta. He has been nationally-recognized as a bankruptcy specialist.
Dunn has served as the Chapter 11 Trustee and as the court-appointed CEO of clients such as Hickory Hill Furniture Company, Sero Shirt Company, Otasco,
Inc., Majik Markets convenience stores, and Trimble Western Furnishings, the largest chain of Thomasville Home Furnishings stores in America.
Dunn said that his gifts to the College, and more specifically to the Annual
Fund, are motivated by a desire to “give something back” to the institution that gave so much to his family and the tools he need for a successful career in business.
“We always feel good about supporting causes for which the funds are prudently used. We are confident that the College allocates our gifts in the best interests of education and immediate needs.
We feel our annual fund gift is continual recognition of appreciation to the College for a job well done in providing the quality education our son desired.”

“About 20 years ago, I decided to endow a scholarship at the College for deserving students. Over the years, others have also made gifts to the fund.
The College has wisely invested the money.
Why not join me in such a great cause?
Our alumni have been very successful; and this is why I am proud of my support over the years: so current students can follow in their footsteps.”
Bruce Pulliam
Professor Emeritus, Political Science
With a little planning, you can leave more than just a memory to future generations.
You can leave a gift through your will or estate to the charity of your choice. The Leave A Legacy™ program is coming soon to Cumberland
County to promote this very simple giving method. A publicity campaign will run throughout May 2002, including a speaker’s bureau, to outline how you can help your favorite charity.
If you’d like more information about Leave A Legacy™ or are interested in bringing this program to your community, visit www.leavealegacy.org.

CASH
The most common way to support Methodist College is through a gift of cash which is deductible for income tax purposes in the year of the contribution.
INSURANCE
By naming Methodist College as the owner and beneficiary of a paid-up policy, donors are entitled to an income tax deduction generally equal to the replacement value or cost basis of the policy, whichever is less. If donors continue paying the premium on a policy donated to Methodist, donors may claim the premium amount as an annual tax deduction.
BEQUESTS
Gifts to Methodist College through a bequest in a will escape estate tax at the donor’s death and greatly benefit the future of the College.
GIFT ANNUITY
A charitable gift annuity is a contract between a donor or another beneficiary and Methodist College whereby assets are transferred to the College and the former receive fixed payments for life. The payment amount is determined by donor’s age at the time of contribution.
SECURITIES
The contribution of long-term appreciated securities enables donors to claim an income tax charitable deduction for the full present fair market value, and avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciation.
REAL ESTATE
An outright gift of property enables donors to claim an income tax charitable deduction equal to the property’s fair market value (if held long term). Also, donors avoid possible capital gains taxes on the property’s appreciation.
CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS
Remainder trusts are life income arrangements whereby assets are gifted to the trust, which in turn pays the donor or a beneficiary a regular income for life. The donated assets can be cash, securities, or property, and at the time of the gift(s), donors accrue potential tax reduction benefits. After the death of the last income beneficiary, the trust assets revert to Methodist College to be used according to the donor’s wishes.
Methodist College encourages you to consult with your professional advisers to design the most advantageous program for you and your family. If we can be of assistance, please contact a member of the
Development Staff at (910) 630-7200 or (800) 488-7110.
