Fall 2009 The Christian Scholar 3

Discovering your purpose “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” – Proverbs 19:21

his year marks the 40th anniversary of one of the most momentous scientifi c achievements of all time. Forty years ago, on July 20, 1969, TAmerican astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the fi rst humans to glimpse the heavens and the earth from a new celestial perspective: the surface of the moon. Armstrong’s famous fi rst words – “That’s one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind” – were followed by the implantation of a marker to commemorate the achievement: “Here, men from the planet Earth fi rst set foot upon the moon July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind.” Among the hundreds of scientists, researchers and other personnel who worked tirelessly to make the moon landing possible was ENC graduate Eldon Hall (48). As you’ll read in this issue of The Christian Scholar’s Pillars of Excellence feature on page 11, Eldon was instrumental in designing the computer system that guided the lunar module to a safe landing on the surface of the moon. And while he and other project staff no doubt experienced more than a few tense, if not down right frightening, moments before Apollo 11’s landing, the mission ultimately was a success, or as Eldon says, “It was truly God orchestrated.” Eldon’s contribution to this historic achievement embodies the mission and spirit behind Eastern Nazarene’s new slogan: Discover your purpose. First announced to the ENC community in the Summer 2009 issue of The Christian Scholar, the new slogan was the result of many months of thought, research and planning by ENC staff, faculty, alumni and students. Working initially with a higher education consulting fi rm, we conducted surveys to identify the distinguishing characteristics of an ENC education. From this research, we identifi ed four core themes that resonated across the Eastern Nazarene community, including: ¥ Academic quality ¥ Proximity to Boston ¥ Caring, Christian community ¥ Development of global Christians With these hallmarks of an ENC education in mind, we set about developing a slogan that would capture Eastern Nazarene’s unique, mission-oriented environ- ment, and an interdepartmental team led by Vice President for Enrollment and Institutional Research Timothy Wooster came up with “Discover your purpose.” It’s a good fi t. For ultimately, what sets ENC apart from other institutions of higher learning is our commitment to help each student discover his or her purpose for creatively and responsibly serving God and serving others from a spirit of Christian love. This issue of The Christian Scholar is fi lled, in fact, with examples of individuals who have discovered their purpose at Eastern Nazarene. From Eldon Hall’s role in the Apollo 11 mission to Mike Kent’s commitment to helping fellow soldiers and veterans complete their education; from Professor Jonathan Twining’s Animal Caretakers Team to Lora Wooster’s co-leadership of ENC’s Micro-Enterprise Fund, Eastern Nazarene is truly a place where in- dividuals can expand their vision and discover new ways of making a positive impact on the world around us. Look for the “Discover your purpose” slogan to become integrated into ENC’s marketing efforts, as it begins to appear on our website, college viewbooks, advertisements, billboards and more. And please share with us your personal stories; we’d love to hear from you how Eastern Nazarene helped you discover your purpose.

ENC’s new viewbook, image piece, billboards and website all refl ect the new “Discover your purpose” campaign.

Meet Eldon C. Hall Major: Math Graduation Year: 1948 Occupation: Retired Scientist and Author By Caily Crispell (12) Forty years ago, the world watched transfi xed as the Apollo 11 mission succeeded in meeting President John F. Kennedy’s goal of putting an American on the moon before the end of the 1960s. Eastern Nazarene graduate Eldon Hall (48) played a pivotal role in the Apollo mission, designing the mission’s computer guidance system. Recently, he returned to ENC to discuss his role in the history-making mission.

It’s great for anyone specifi cally interested in Apollo’s history, which was its intended purpose. Q: ENC’s new slogan is “Discover your purpose.” How would you say ENC helped you in discovering your purpose?

What I didn’t realize at the time Ð but I now see looking back Ð is that other than one’s educational training, life events help to train and prepare us for what our purpose is. Designing Apollo’s guidance system was clearly the task I was trained to do: It fi t me like a glove! It’s almost as if the task was designed for me. There really is no explanation otherr than it was God’s will.
