SPARTANBURG METHODIST COLLEGE
Spartanburg Methodist College — Spring 2005 SPARTANBURG METHODI ST COLLEGE Message from the President
n graduate school, I took a course that helped me fully grasp the meaning of “professionals.” After weeks of class discussions, Ireadings, and research, I came to a simple but profound understanding: Professionals know who they are, what they are doing, and where they are going.
In unique ways, this definition also applies to colleges and universities. To be effective in educating students, colleges must know who they are. Without such knowledge, the institution’s mission is unclear. And without a clear understanding of its mission, the institution’s ability to educate students and plan for its future is greatly impaired.
Institutions must be intentional in doing what is best to promote student learning. Institutions that do not retain a sharp focus on their raison d’etre lose the ability to meaningfully engage in educational processes with students.
Without an understanding of who they are and what they are doing, institutions will not know where they are going. An old Chinese proverb expresses it well: “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.” The institution’s vision must build upon the history of the institution and remain faithful to the values upon which it was founded. Armed with this knowledge and with a resolute commitment to students, the institution must then develop its vision for the future.
In mid-February, our Board of Trustees, along with selected administrators and faculty, held a two- day Strategic Planning Retreat that refreshed our understanding of who we are and what we are doing to promote student learning in and outside the classroom. As the retreat progressed, visioning activities helped the Board gain insight into the future of the College. The participants came to understand the challenges we face and the future we must pursue.
The Board approved the construction of Sparrow Residence Hall, a 119-bed facility made possible through a generous pledge from Mr. John Sparrow in Lake City, S.C. Plans are being drafted to expand the Buchheit Administration Building through the addition of the Vassey Information Technology Center, a Center made possible through a bequest from the late Herbert and Rebecca Vassey. The College will continue to beautify the grounds and upgrade facilities.
As we build for the future, we will expand our academic curriculum and degree programs. New career-track academic programs, such as our emerging Paralegal Studies Program, will be developed to offer our graduates the option either to continue their education at baccalaureate level institutions or immediately enter the work force after completing the associate’s degree. Also, we will continue to enhance student learning both in and outside the classroom.
As we approach our 100th year anniversary in 2011, we ask for your prayers and your continued support. Even more, we invite you to become our partners in education. Together we will strengthen our college and better prepare our students to become effective leaders in the 21st Century.
Sincerely,
Charles P. Teague President of the College FRONTIERS MAGAZINE — SPRING 2005

5 SPARTANBURG METHODI ST COLLEGE SMC EXCEEDS FUNDRAISING TOTALS
n 2004, Spartanburg Methodist College received the largest amount of fundraising commitments in Iits 94-year history. In the final year of SMC’s Vision 2005 $20 Million Campaign, the 2004 totals are at more than $16 million. Dan Foster, Chairman of the SMC Board, said that 2004 commitments totaled $4,383,213. Foster made the announcement, which topped the previous high of $3,991,524 by approximately 10 percent, at the local Donors Appreciation Dinner, held February 15. Foster said it was a difficult fundraising year and that it took a number of year-end contributions to attain success. While the increased fundraising has enabled the College to construct new buildings such as the Bridges Residence Hall, it has also helped increase enrollment by 10 percent and improve the quality of the Fall 2004 entering class. President Charles P. Teague said that the $2 million challenge grant from Drs. Edgar H. and Charlotte Ellis was very instrumental in helping realize the totals.

Coach Smoak in the Scholarship early 70s during a Named Men’s Basketball game at the For current Moore Athletic Activities Former Building. Back then, the facility PIONEERS was nicknamed the “Smoak Coach House.”
lthough former SMC Head Basketball Coach John McMahon ASmoak passed away last fall, a scholarship in his m emory will ensure that future generations of student-athletes will become winners. According to Mike Bowers, SMC Director of Gift Planning, Smoak was the kind of person who left an impression on hun- dreds of student-athletes during his dozen years of coaching. He also achieved an overall coaching career mark of 301 wins and only 148 losses, and 205 wins over 127 losses with the Pioneers. Under Smoak, the Pioneers also advanced to the NJCAA Regional Tournament three times. Bowers said Smoak brought a wealth of experience to SMC as a coach and educator who also served his country as a Tank Company Commander in the U.S. Army’s 2nd Armored Division in Germany. Family and friends are establishing the John McMahon Smoak Memorial Scholarship at SMC, and are seeking contributors. Bowers expects that the fund will reach the minimum level of $10,000 in time for the College to issue scholarship assistance as early as the fall of 2005. The SMC Board of Trustees has agreed to match, from general endowment, every dollar contributed once the fund balance reaches $5,000. They will continue to match contributions until the total contributed to the fund reaches $10,000. The goal is that the fund would reach $100,000 in five years.

leven SMC students took to the kitchens January E19 to prepare soup for Second Presbyterian Church Soup Kitchen. The day began with a service challenge honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The work was divided among three groups of students: one group went to the home of Dr. Katherine Cann, another to Dr. Paul Lofton’s home, and the third group went with Chaplain Candice Sloan to the Presbyterian Student Association House. Each group was given the ingredients and a recipe for vegetable soup, which was later to be frozen and given to the Second Presbyterian Soup Kitchen. Each group then received $35.00 with the challenge to collect as many non-perishable food items for the Soup Kitchen as Lavondra Ham, Keisha they could.
