In the spring, our Physician Assistant program, one of only four in the state, celebrated its 10th anniversary. Our athletic teams then finished the 2006 spring sports year with four USA South Athletic Conference Championships, four Coach of the Year awards, and three Player of the Year awards. In late summer, we celebrated not only our largest traditional freshman class of 417 incoming students, but also our largest class of Presidential Scholars, at 171 students, in the history of Methodist University. Our big celebration, however, occurred in November, with the observance of our 50th anniversary from charter, and the move to University status. “Should we become a university?” was the question on everyone’s mind in 2006. There were valid arguments for and against the change, and there was the greater question of what our new name would be if we did become a university. We looked to sister institutions—Campbell, Chowan, Elon, High Point, and Wingate—who had successfully made the transition as we weighed our decision. One argument for the change was the need to differentiate ourselves from technical institutes who have adopted the “community college” name in recent years. I am pleased to share that, in the end, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved the name change from Methodist College to Methodist University on Nov. 1, 2006 as a reflection of the growth of the institution—from 86 students, 12 faculty, and 11 majors in 1960 to over 2,100 students, 350 faculty, and staff, and 70 majors and concentrations today, including a vibrant international program with 72 students from 37 countries. As I reflect on the history and accomplishments of our first 50 years, it is evident that this institution was founded and nurtured by a group of special individuals who went above and beyond the call. Those same types of individuals exist today, on our Board of Trustees, administration, faculty and staff, who will guide this institution forward over its next 50 years. My wife Jerry and I are deeply honored to have been a part of this wonderful family for the last 24 years, and thank you for your friendship and support. Sincerely, Methodist University does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, sex, national or ethnic origin, religious denomination, or disabilities for otherwise qualified persons in the administration of its admission, educational policies, scholarships, loan programs, athletics, employment, or any other college-sponsored or advertised programs. Methodist University is related by faith to the North Carolina Annual Conference, Southeastern Jurisdiction, The United Methodist Church. Methodist University is an independent corporation rather than an agency of the Conference and is responsible for its own debts and obligations. M. Elton Hendricks President Postmaster: Send address changes to: Methodist University Today Magazine, University Relations Office, 5400 Ramsey Street, Fayetteville, NC 28311-1498. Circulation: 18,100 copies. 1 2006 MESSAGE FROM THE OUR HIGHLIGHT OF 2006 Dear Friends, On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I am pleased to report that Methodist University continues to grow and, as President Hendricks mentioned in his message, Methodist has now formally changed its name to Methodist University. Methodist began classes in 1960 with 86 students. Currently we have over 2,100 students, almost 900 of whom live on campus. Many of our other students live in the Fayetteville area and 65 percent of our students are from North Carolina. However, it is noteworthy that we have students from 42 states and 37 countries. Two new apartment-style Residence Halls, a Fitness Center and Science Building addition were either in the process of completion or were completed during 2006. The residence halls were the result of a $24,000,000 bond issue which also refinanced existing debt and provided initial construction funds for the Fitness Center and Science addition. A capital campaign which raised almost $15,000,000 provided the remaining funding for the Fitness Center and Science Building addition, as well as endowment and operating funds. We now have three master’s degree programs: a Professional MBA program emphasizing Professional Golf Management, a Master’s in Justice Administration and a Master’s in Physician Assistant studies. The Physician Assistant program, one of only four programs in North Carolina, currently receives 10 or more applications for every first year space available. Methodist University has an annual operating budget exceeding $40,000,000 and 350 full-time faculty and staff. The SAT score for the last two freshman classes has averaged 1,000 and this year we have 15 applicants with SAT’s over 1,400. This enables us to become more selective in the quality of students we accept. In this connection, the Board of Trustees has asked the faculty and staff to pursue a culture of excellence in all activities of the University. The quality of our students is at a level that demands we encourage faculty and staff to strive for the full development of each student’s potential. Methodist University is beginning to reach a new level in all aspects of student life. The Board of Trustees is aware that globalism is not around the corner but is already here and it is our mission at Methodist University to produce students able to compete effectively in the new global society. This is not just a worthwhile goal but it is an essential goal. The Board of Trustees is very grateful to all who have supported Methodist University, and we and our graduates will be forever indebted to you. Very truly yours, Alfred E. Cleveland Dr. Wenda Diane Johnson 1948 – 2007 CHAIRMAN A PRESS RELEASE FROM APRIL 25, 2006 READ: Methodist College’s Teacher Education Program has proven its commitment to producing quality teachers for our nation’s children by achieving continuing accreditation under the performance-oriented standards of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the organization responsible for professional accreditation of teacher education. Dr. Wenda Johnson, dean of the School of the Science and Human Development and chair of the Teacher Education Committee, said she is “proud to have gained this status, proud of our students, proud of our faculty and staff, and thankful for the support of our administration.” ON BEHALF OF THE STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF, AND THE ADMINISTRATION AT METHODIST UNIVERSITY, WE ARE PROUD OF YOU, DR. J. AS DR. HENDRICKS MENTIONED IN THE PRESIDENT’S LETTER, 2006 WAS A WONDERFUL YEAR IN THE LIFE OF METHODIST UNIVERSITY; WE ARE HONORED THAT YOU WERE HERE TO SHARE IT WITH US AND WE CONSIDER YOU OUR HIGHLIGHT OF 2006. Dr. Johnson arrived at Methodist on Aug. 14, 1991 and served as chair of the Physical Education Department and professor of physical education from 1991-2004. In 1994 she became assistant dean for Academic Affairs and head of the Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) program. In 2004 she was named dean of the School of Science and Human Development; while maintaining her status as a tenured faculty member in the Department of Wellness and Exercise Science. Dr. Johnson became Methodist’s interim vice president for Academic Affairs on June 1, 2006 and was one of three finalists for the position of vice president for Academic Affairs. She was slated to become associate dean to Dr. Delmas S. Crisp, Jr., Methodist’s new vice president for Academic Affairs, upon his arrival on June 1, 2007. During her sixteen years at Methodist and throughout her teaching career, she was active in several professional organizations, presented papers at professional meetings, and published a number of articles in scholarly journals. In 1993-94, she won three grants totaling $141,000 for Methodist— grants which provided a Human Performance Laboratory, a Substance Abuse Education and Prevention program, and human anatomy models. Dr. Johnson believed in community service and worked as a volunteer with the Cumberland County Guardian Ad Litem program, Cross Creek Presbyterian Church’s Fellowship and Missions Committee, Special Olympics, and Habitat for Humanity. She is survived by her mother, Mrs. Arvis Johnson of Haines City, Fla., and a brother, Mr. Francis Duane Johnson of Auburndale, Fla. Her warmth and concern for others endeared her to her peers and the students whose lives she touched. 2 3 H I G H L I G HT S Half a Century… Twice the Institution METHODIST UNIVERSITY Board of Trustees Methodist College is Now Methodist University July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007 Dr. Greg Combs, assistant professor of sport management, was elected chair of the Fayetteville Area Sports Commission.

This campaign, which raised a total of $14,739,839, marked not only the largest in Methodist University’s history, but is believed to be the largest campaign raised with private dollars in the history of Cumberland County, North Carolina. The campaign, which the Board of Trustees approved in October 2001, was publicly announced in May 2002 with an $11,000,000 goal. With early success in the area of endowment, the goal was increased over time to $12,850,000. The campaign focused on three primary areas: an addition to the Science Building, CAMPAIGN AREA a Fitness Center, and the endowment. Buildings Following is a snapshot of funds raised: Endowment ....................... > Annual Support Other Restricted Total “We are proud to have reached this milestone in the life of Methodist University,” said President M. Elton Hendricks, adding “It would not have been possible to raise this amount of money without the leadership of co-chairs Bob Allen and Ramon Yarborough, as well as a strong Board of Trustees who gave a significant amount of the total raised.” Construction on the Fitness Center and Science Building addition began on October 31, 2005, and is slated to be completed in May 2007. The Fitness Center, designed for the use of the general student body as well as intramurals, houses a full-size basketball court, a walking track, work out area with equipment, and a smoothie bar. The Science Building addition contains 11 biology and chemistry laboratories, a tiered classroom, two laboratory prep rooms, a great room, and 10 offices. It will also contain Methodist’s new Environmental Simulation Center with its fully interactive 3-D simulation room. Laboratory space in the existing Science Building will be converted to classrooms, as well as a dedicated laboratory for the University’s Forensic Science program. 10 Methodist University received its first $1 million dollar gift during the Seeds on Good Soil campaign. In fact, during the campaign, Methodist received four $1 million dollar gifts. These included the gift from the Nimocks family to name the Fitness Center, as well as a gift from the Thomas R. and Elizabeth E. McLean Foundation for the Science Building addition. Other significant gifts included $750,000 from BB&T Foundation, the largest corporate gift in Methodist’s history, and $550,000 from the Kresge Foundation. Also significant was the fact that over 2,857 individuals, corporations, and foundations $$ RAISED contributed to the campaign. Included in $17,944,950 this number were 1,385 of Methodist’s $13,638,726 $11,564,578 9,961 alumni and former students. $11,591,585 $14,739,839 The new buildings will be dedicated during the beginning of the fall 2007 semester. Plans are to have the primary Donor Recognition Wall honoring those who gave $1,000 or more housed in the lobby of the Fitness Center, with a smaller recognition wall honoring those that gave specifically to the Science Building addition housed in the lobby of that building. Photographs of the buildings under construction can be viewed at www.methodist.edu/Alum_dev/grow.htm.

The accomplishments and growth that Methodist University has achieved have been made possible because of gifts from people like you. There are numerous ways for you to give to Methodist University. The Office of Development is charged with the primary mission of obtaining needed philanthropic gifts from MU alumni, friends and supporters, as well as from corporations and foundations at the local, regional, and national level. As Methodist continues to grow, the investments of our friends and supporters in the University become even more important to our mission of providing an education firmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, nurturing moral values and ethical decision making, and preparing students for a variety of careers. This will take strong support from you and others who understand that MU, one of North Carolina’s 36 private, independent colleges, currently receives no more than ten percent of its funding from the state. Gifts to Methodist may be unrestricted (available for use where they are needed most) or restricted (designated to specific purposes you identify). Regardless of which you choose, there are many ways you can participate, including supporting a campaign priority, scholarships, the Annual Fund, or by making a planned gift. There are also many methods for giving. While cash and pledges are the most popular, the following gift options are also available, and many offer considerable tax benefits. For more information, call the Development Office at (910) 630-7200, or toll free at (800) 488-7110, ext. 7200. Your gift will change a life. GIFT OF LIFE INSURANCE In November of 2006, the University received $112,446 in life insurance proceeds from Mrs. Carol Dudley Nance, who passed away on Oct. 2, 2006. The policy was actually taken out in 1992 by her husband, Mitchell Nance, with premium payments of $38,614. Mitch and Carol Nance had supported Methodist financially, as well as with their time and talent, since the mid 1960s. Mitch, who passed away July 26, 2002, was a charter member of the University’s Board of Visitors, and worked for a number of years as a volunteer during the annual Loyalty Day campaign. As this gift was not designated for a particular purpose, Methodist placed the funds in an area of the endowment to ensure that funds will continue to be available to help meet the future needs of Methodist University and its students. GIFT OF BEQUEST Dr. Pauline Longest was a beloved science and math professor at Methodist from 1962 through 1979. Mrs. Longest spent 40 years of her life instilling in students a love of science. Following her retirement in 1979, Methodist honored her by developing and naming the Pauline Longest Nature Trail along a beautiful tract of Cape Fear River bluff land. Dr. Longest passed away on Nov. 1, 2005 at the age of 92. In 2006, the University received from her estate a gift of $50,000, to be placed in the endowment, the earnings of which will be divided between the upkeep of the nature trail named in her honor, and purchasing equipment and supplies needed by the Science Department. By naming Methodist in her will, Mrs. Longest provided a way to continue the support of her life’s work.

This program provides scholarship support for exemplary students from the U.S. and other countries who have proven themselves by completing their last two years of high school at one of a group of 12 UWC international schools around the world. Methodist University, with 27 UWC students in fall 2006, is one of only 76 colleges and universities in the United States chosen to participate in this program. The program, founded by philanthropist Shelby M.C. Davis, seeks to transform the American undergraduate experience with the goal of building cross-cultural understanding across campuses and around the globe in the 21st century. DR. LOUIS SPILMAN, JR. ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP Dr. Louis Spilman, Jr., a member of Methodist’s first graduating class in 1964, bears the distinction of being the first student to meet all of the requirements for graduation. He became a member of the University’s Board of Trustees in 1970 and continues to serve today. Dr. Spilman and his wife, Mary, have a strong love for their family and community, and a deep, abiding faith in God. This faith, and a desire to help students pursuing a degree in religion to answer God’s calling in their life, led Dr. Spilman to establish an endowed scholarship in 2005. A gift of appreciated stock on Aug. 2, 2006 completed the funding of this scholarship. ELIZABETH A. MCLEAN ENDOWED PROFESSORSHIP On Dec. 13, 2006, Methodist University received a gift of $100,000 from the Thomas R. and Elizabeth E. McLean Foundation to establish the Elizabeth A. McLean Endowed Professorship. The professorship, honoring the late Elizabeth E. McLean, a graduate of Vassar College who greatly valued education, is the University’s fourth endowed professorship, and the first in the area of English and Writing. THE BULLARD SCIENCE & RELIGION ENDOWED LECTURE SERIES On May 17, 2006, Howard and Marta Bullard committed to endow a Science & Religion Lecture Series. The Bullards are active members of the University family, with Mr. Bullard having served on the Board of Trustees for ten years, currently as treasurer. The Bullards felt that, given their strong religious beliefs, the lecture series would be an excellent way to offer the University community a more in-depth study of the relationship between science and religion. By providing a source of perpetual income, endowment funds allow an institution to grow and expand quality programs and services, keep tuition costs down, and recruit outstanding faculty and top students.

Zybeck Methodist University…wow, did you ever think we would be able to say that? Many of us had hoped for years that our alma mater would grow to the next level and now we can officially say that we are a University in so many ways, to include our name! Methodist has made such tremendous progress since its founding 50 years ago, and to be there for the announcement of the change in name and status during the 50th Anniversary celebration on November 1, 2006 was both exciting and exhilarating. What a thrill it was to welcome 321 new alumni to the Methodist University Alumni Association at the spring and winter commencement ceremonies, bringing our alumni total to over 9,000! In fact, we are now 9,120 strong with alumni in every state of the Union and in many countries across the world. Thanks to alumni support and involvement in our alma mater, we can say that we have truly contributed to the success of the University in numerous ways over the years. Hundreds of Methodist alumni have used their Greatest Gift Scholarship to recruit talented students to attend and share in all that our alma mater has to offer. Others have served on campus boards, assisted coaches, professors, and students, or participated in events like Monarch Movers to help new students on move-in day. Moreover, alumni have provided important financial support for capital and annual campaigns. While financial support is extremely important to the life of Methodist University, it is not the only way to give. Your time and talent can be one of the best gifts you can share with the University. Contact Career Services about employment or internship opportunities available for students and alumni, or let Alumni Affairs know that you are available to speak to classes in your area of expertise. Your Alumni Association Board of Directors invites your involvement, ideas, and suggestions, and your Alumni Affairs Office always wants to hear from you! To keep abreast of all that is happening on campus, go to the newly redesigned Methodist University website at www.methodist.edu and subscribe to our alumni e-newsletter at www.methodist.edu/Alumn_dev/enews.shtml. Moreover, you will not want to miss Homecoming 2007! Mark your calendars now for October 20, 2007! There will be athletic events, Lunch on the Green on Saturday before the games, time to reminisce with classmates and faculty, and so much more! To quote Dr. Hendricks, our alumni truly are a testament to the success of Methodist University. Please keep this good thing going by giving back to one of the best things that ever happened to you!

Every alum can award one new scholarship per year to a full-time day student that he or she actively recruits for undergraduate admission. Florida Puerto Rico Alumni Association In 2006, a record 114 alumni assisted in recruiting new students to Methodist University. A total of 312 students received Greatest Gift Scholarships. As a result, $183,100 was awarded in scholarship aid – all because alumni told prospective students about Methodist and were willing to fill out a one-page form! Thank you for helping with our recruiting efforts!

In the spring of 2006, Methodist College awarded 138 degrees to 136 graduates at the 43rd Annual Spring Commencement Ceremony on May 6, 2006. Bishop Alfred Gwinn, president of the North Carolina Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, delivered the baccalaureate sermon. We were delighted to have the Honorable Mike McIntyre as our commencement speaker. Methodist then celebrated its 34th Annual Winter Commencement Ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 16, 2006 at 2 p.m. in the March F. Riddle Center. There were 185 candidates for graduation— the largest ever graduating class from Methodist. The day’s events began with a baccalaureate service at 10:30 a.m. in Reeves Auditorium. The Rev. Dr. John H. Tyson, minister at Hay Street United Methodist Church, delivered the baccalaureate sermon. Methodist College’s final commencement speaker was Brian Whitcomb, president of The Professional Golfers’ Association of America, who reminded graduates of Methodist College that “life gives back to you what you put into it.” Half a Century… Twice the Institution Methodist College is Now Methodist University 34 T The A.B.
