It is a pleasure to express appreciation for your part in making 2009 a banner year
for Methodist University. Given the general economy, military deployments, and
uncertainties regarding the N.C. Legislative Tuition Grant at the beginning of the
academic year, we did not anticipate record enrollment numbers. In fact, we had
budgeted conservatively when planning for the 2009-2010 academic year.
Methodist University experienced a significant growth in the fall of 2009 in new
student and day program enrollments. The freshman class grew from its previous
all-time high of 431 to 469. Thirty-one percent were Presidential Scholars, with
an average grade point average (GPA) of 3.79 and an average SAT score of 1112. Seventy-five were from
Cumberland County, which was the largest new-student enrollment we have ever experienced from our
home county.
The overall enrollment in our day program increased from 1,603 in fall 2008 to 1,657 in fall 2009. We also
experienced a 26 percent increase in graduate enrollment, from 145 students in 2008 to 182 students in
2009. This record enrollment is a reflection of the outstanding opportunities we provide to our students and
the growing reputation of Methodist University. We received confirmation of the quality of our academic
program in December when the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools’ (SACS) Commission on
Colleges (COC) officially reaffirmed our university accreditation with no recommendations.
Our growth extended to many areas of the University. We graduated 328 students and commissioned eight
officers in the United States Army. We grew our physical campus, completing the renovation of an obsolete
boiler plant on the campus into an outstanding 8,000 square foot Field House for our football scholar
athletes. We also broke ground and completed much of the construction for the William F. Bethune Center
for Visual Arts.
Methodist’s athletic teams celebrated new milestones during the 2009 year. Methodist hosted the 2009
NCAA Division III Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where the women
won their 12th straight championship. The women’s tennis team celebrated their second straight USA
South Conference Championship; the track and field teams finished with 11 All-American honors; and
Coach Tom Austin celebrated his 30th year as head coach of the Monarch baseball team.
The University also expanded its academic program, added a Church Leadership Minor, a concentration
in Biochemistry, and established a new Nursing Program which was approved by the North Carolina State
Board of Nursing in January 2010.
My wife, Jerry, and I are so proud to be a part of this fine university, and look forward with the rest of you,
to helping Methodist University reach even greater accomplishments in the future. Whether you gave
financially to help further our academic, athletic, or student life programs; gave to a scholarship or to help
construct a new building; helped recruit a student; served on a board; provided an internship for a student
or employed one of our alumni, we are grateful. Thank you, as always, for your friendship and support.
Sincerely,
M. Elton Hendricks

ear Friends:
I bring you greetings from the Board of Trustees of Methodist
University. The University celebrated much success in 2009,
for which we are all extremely grateful. While we celebrate
our success with friends and family, however, it is equally
important that we carefully plan for the future.
I was privileged to be a part of the planning process that took place from
April through October of 2009 to develop the University’s Strategic Plan
for 2010-2015. The University family, from students to administrators
and even alumni, had an opportunity to be involved in preliminary town
hall discussions, and the twenty people that formed the strategic planning
committee included representation from faculty, staff, students, alumni,
and trustees. The committee quickly reached a consensus on an
overarching goal:
Methodist University will be a top-choice, comprehensive university that
attracts and retains a capable and diverse student body by providing relevant
traditional and professional academic programs and an overall culture of
excellence through highly qualified and motivated faculty and staff in an
engaging, enriching, and empowering environment.
Six University-wide goals were then developed that focus on enhancing
Methodist’s culture of excellence; growing revenue and resources through
student recruitment and retention, new academic and certificate programs,
and charitable giving; increasing enrollment while enhancing the
academic profile of students; improving and adding physical facilities;
upgrading technology to provide better service to students, faculty, and
staff; and increasing global awareness and global citizenship by enhancing
existing programs and developing new programs that focus on the global
society. These goals are targets that faculty, staff, and administrators
will use to continue to develop Methodist University into a top-choice,
comprehensive university.
It is a privilege to serve as a Trustee during this exciting time of growth
and change. As we plan for the future, the Board of Trustees now has the
charge of leading the University in the selection of its fourth President.
Dr. Elton Hendricks, during his 27 years, has helped us achieve a truly
high level of excellence. I am confident, however, that we will aim for
and achieve an even higher level of excellence in the future, insuring that
Methodist University remains a very special place.
Sincerely,
Bishop
Bishop Alfred W. Gwinn, Jr.

Notables
Highlights
The Methodist University Board of Trustees adopted the
fifth Strategic Plan in the history of Methodist University
on Oct. 24, 2009. Implementation of the plan will guide
strategic decision-making for the fiscal years beginning July
1, 2010, and ending June 30, 2015. The Plan outlines goals
for increasing enrollment and revenue; enhancing existing
and adding new physical facilities; upgrading and expanding
technology; and increasing global awareness and citizenship
across its campus, all within a continually growing culture
of excellence.
The book, From Cotton Field to University: A History of
Methodist University, 1956-2006, was released in March 2009.
William H. “Bill” Billings, a 1968 graduate of Methodist,
spent six years working on the history project.
Dr. Sharon Kendrick, assistant professor of business administration
in the Reeves School of Business and director of Resort and
Club Management, along with co-author, Dr. Melody Wollan,
was awarded the Best Overall Paper on Conference Theme for
the Midwest Business Administration Association (MBAA).
The co-authors presented their findings at the March 2009
MBAA National Conference in Chicago.
Francie Barragan, Head Women’s Tennis Coach, was the first
recipient of the McLean Coach of the Year Award, Methodist
University’s highest athletic coaching award. Made possible
by The Thomas R. & Elizabeth E. McLean Foundation, the
award annually recognizes head coaches who have shown a
commitment to excellence in the knowledge of their discipline,
method of instruction, attitude, and interaction with students,
both on and off the field.
The MU Marching Monarchs band made its inaugural
debut in Fall 2009. In addition to building Monarch spirit
during athletic events, the Marching Band will provide the
opportunity for students who plan to become music educators
the chance to learn how to instruct a marching band.
Global Outreach
Sophomore Milca Baptista was a recipient of the Kathryn
Wasserman Davis Foundation’s 100 Projects for Peace. An
international student from Baguia, East Timor, Milca returned
to her hometown during the summer of 2009 to help develop
her community by installing a water tank and improving
community sanitation. The World Health Organization
estimated that about 44 percent of the population of East
Timor, a country in Southeast Asia, had no access to clean
drinking water and only about 32 percent of the population
had sanitation facilities.
Academic Programs
Methodist approved a new minor in Church Leadership in
2009, which is offered through The Lura S. Tally Center for
Leadership Development. The minor will prepare individuals
for non-clergy leadership roles in the church, including
youth ministry lay leadership, mission organizations, camps,
children’s ministries, and church finance and administration.
Methodist University also added a concentration in
Biochemistry, and laid the groundwork for the new Nursing
Program, which received approval from the North Carolina
State Board of Nursing in January 2010.
Physical Campus Expansion
Methodist University broke ground and completed much of
the construction in 2009 of the William F. Bethune Center
for Visual Arts. The 8,844 square foot building includes a
printmaking studio, painting studio, graphic design lab,
photography lab, digital photo studio, and drawing and art
education space. The building also houses the David McCune
International Art Gallery, named in honor of local artist
David McCune.
Methodist also completed the renovation of an obsolete boiler
plant into an outstanding 8,631 square-foot Field House and
locker room facility for football scholar athletes.
Athletics
Methodist’s athletic teams celebrated new milestones
during the 2009 year. Methodist hosted the 2009 NCAA
Division III Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships in
Port St. Lucie, Fla. where the women won their 12th straight
championship and the men finished third. The women’s tennis
team celebrated their second straight USA South Conference
Championship while the track and field team finished with
11 All-American honors. Coach Tom Austin celebrated his
30th year as head coach of the Monarch baseball team.

W ill you leave a leacy?
The purpose of Methodist University is to provide an undergraduate and
graduate education firmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition that nurtures
moral values and ethical decision making; to provide distinctive professional
and graduate programs that complement the undergraduate programs;
to provide educational and cultural services and resources to the community;
and to prepare students for a variety of careers and educational pursuits.
(Excerpt from Methodist University Mission Statement)
As a supporter of Methodist University, you demonstrate that you care about our mission. But what happens
to your support when you are no longer here? If you remember Methodist in your will or revocable trust, or
through life insurance, IRA or other planned gift, you leave a legacy that helps us continue and further the
educational experiences and outreach that you value, far into the future.
Why Should You Include a Charitable Gift in Your Will?
1. It’s simple to do. It can be as easy as including language
stating, “I give $25,000 to Methodist University in
Fayetteville, NC.”
2. You can change your mind. We won’t receive the gift until
after your death. During your lifetime, you can amend
anything you choose, i.e., beneficiaries, amounts, etc.
3. Tax-wise, it could be beneficial. Gifts to qualified charitable
organizations reduce the value of your estate for estate tax
purposes.
4. It’s an easy way to support Methodist University, and we’d
be grateful for and good stewards of your gift. Bequests of
every size build our future financial strength.
How you include a gift in your will or revocable trust depends
on what you want to accomplish, and what you want to give
to Methodist University. Following are some options:
1. Give a percentage of the residue of your estate – the
amount left after taxes and expenses are satisfied and
specific bequests have been paid; e.g., “I give 25% of the
rest, residue, and remainder of my estate to Methodist
University in Fayetteville, NC.”
2. Give a specific dollar amount or item of property – e.g.,
“I give Methodist University in Fayetteville, NC $25,000”; or
“I give Methodist University in Fayetteville, NC 100 shares
of Microsoft stock”; or “I give to Methodist University in
Fayetteville, NC my house and lot located at 123 Monarch
Drive, Fayetteville, NC.”
3. Make your bequest contingent – e.g., “I give Methodist
University in Fayetteville, NC $25,000 if my niece and
nephew predecease me.” (This can also apply to life
insurance, IRAs and other retirement plans.)
Besides choosing how your bequest will come to us, you also
have a say in how it will be used and acknowledged here:
v Make the gift unrestricted – it will be directed to the area
of greatest need;
v Make the gift to the endowment – it will go into our
General Endowment fund to build a permanent funding
source for Methodist University;
v Make the gift restricted, i.e., to support a specific area of
interest such as scholarships, specific academic or athletic
programs, the library, campus ministry, alumni affairs, etc.;
v Set up a named endowment fund for a named endowed
scholarship, lecture or performance series, professorship,
chair, etc.;
v Memorialize or honor a loved one – “This gift is made in
memory (or in honor) of my loving husband, a founder of
Methodist College, now Methodist University.”
We can provide Methodist University’s correct legal name and federal tax identifier, as well as suggested wording for
the various bequest types and methods mentioned above. This information can assist your attorney in finalizing your
will, or preparing a codicil to an existing will.
If you are considering a named endowment fund, we encourage you to contact the Development Office to
discuss your options and preferences regarding the fund. Though you can still change your mind about your gift,
your preferences will be kept on file in our office to provide additional guidance when the gift is received.
Please let us know if you have included Methodist University in your will, trust, life insurance, retirement plan,
or through some other planned gift. We would love the opportunity to add your name to our Endowment Society.
If you have questions or wish to learn more about remembering Methodist University in your will or other planned
gift, please contact Robin Davenport in the Development Office at (910) 630-7200, 1-800-488-7110, ext. 7200, or via
e-mail at rdavenport@methodist.edu.

It has been an honor to represent you over the course of the past
two years. The Methodist University Alumni Association has been
working diligently toward providing more benefits for our alumni;
creating meaningful opportunities for alumni engagement with
students and faculty; and for new ways to promote our alma mater.
Among the new benefits added for MU alumni in 2009 was free
use of the Nimocks Fitness Center on campus. Almost 100 alumni
have taken advantage of this benefit and use the Center on a regular basis. The
University and Alumni Association also partnered with Liberty Mutual Insurance to
provide auto, homeowners, and renters insurance to MU alumni.
In 2009, over 70 alumni who registered as mentors in Monarch Connections were
matched with incoming students and served as mentors through their freshman
year. We hope to build on that effort in 2010, and we invite you to get involved with
our students, whether it’s through mentoring, granting an incoming freshman the
Greatest Gift Scholarship, helping as a Monarch Mover, or providing an internship
or job opportunity for a student.
One of the board’s goals for 2010 is to establish an alumni chapter program. We
encourage you to sponsor and attend events in your area, root for Monarch athletic
teams when they play near you, reunite with your classmates, and meet and network
with Monarch alumni to support each other and our alma mater.
In the past year our nation has faced many financial challenges, and Methodist
University was not an exception, but we are strengthened by your support and service
to this fine institution. In 2009 our alumni contributed $81,818 to address the current
operational needs of the university and another $44,026 to support endowment and
capital projects. Alumni also donated countless hours to MU service projects and
through Board service.
Finally, during my time as President of the Alumni Association at Methodist
University, I have come to realize that the participation and interaction of MU alumni
is pivotal in the success of this institution. I have deeply enjoyed working with the
fine group of individuals on this Board, who truly have the best interests of Methodist
University and its students in their hearts. I encourage you to become more engaged
in the MU Alumni Association efforts. You can do this by visiting the alumni website
at www.methodist.edu/alum_dev.htm.
I hope to see you at Homecoming on October 22-23, 2010!
Sincerely,
Jerry Monday ’71
President
Methodist University Alumni Association

The Greatest Gift scholarship
Methodist University is one of only a few institutions that offer
this unique scholarship opportunity. Alumni can award one new
Greatest Gift scholarship per year to a full-time day student that
they actively recruit for undergraduate admission. Scholarships
range from $125 to $1,000 per year.
In 2009, 149 new Greatest Gift Scholarships were awarded.
This, along with returning students, brought the total to 427
students receiving $206,078 in Greatest Gift Scholarships for the
academic year, a significant increase from 2008. Thank you for
helping with our recruiting efforts!
To learn more about the Greatest Gift Scholarship and how
you might locate prospective students, contact the Office of
Development and Alumni Affairs at (910) 630-7200, or log on
to www.methodist.edu/Alum_dev/alumni_ggs.htm.

Bank of America donations
Thank you to the 226 alumni who participated in the Methodist
University Bank of America Credit Card Program during 2009. This
program pays a small percentage of the total purchases back to
the Alumni Association which helps fund Monarch Connections,
the Methodist University online alumni directory. In 2009, $1,091.30
