Clayton Named President of NABC

Dale Clayton, head coach of men’s basketball, was named president of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) in April. The announcement came during the NABC’s Guardians of the Game annual awards dinner held at the Final Four in Detroit.

Clayton, in his eighth year of serving on the NABC Board, succeeded Tubby Smith of the University of Minnesota. As president, Clayton presides over one of college basketball’s governing bodies whose objectives include working in concert with the legislative arm of the NCAA on issues affecting basketball and intercollegiate athletics. Established in 1927 by legendary coach Phog Allen, NABC is the largest professional association of basketball coaches.

Along with Allen and Smith, past presidents include Mike Krzyzewski, Duke University; Adolph Rupp, University of Kentucky; Dean Smith, University of North Carolina and Roy Williams, University of Kansas.

Serving with Clayton is First Vice President Tom Izzo, head coach of Michigan State.

Pilot Corp. Founder Offers Graduates Advice

Jim Haslam, founder of Pilot Corporation spoke to a packed Holt Field House for the College’s May commencement ceremony. The Knoxville resident shared with graduates lessons he learned throughout his career, stressing the importance of faith and loyalty to family as key components to success. A staunch supporter of various charitable organizations, he also urged the class to always remember to give back to their communities.

Haslam’s leadership and integrity are often cited for his success in growing a one station operation in 1958 to a corporation that has more than 300 locations in 43 states. Pilot, the nation’s largest operator of travel centers and largest seller of over-the-road diesel fuel, employees some 13,000 workers and generated $16 billion in sales last year.

Beyond a Break

Spring break was more than just a vacation for the 178 C-N students who participated in the College’s SPOTS (Special Projects Other Than Summer) mission trips. Comprised of 13 teams, the volunteers used their time off from classes to reach out to others. Coordinated by Chad Morris ’03, associate director of Campus Ministries, the students’ mid-March travels included the states of Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Texas, Mississippi, Florida, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Groups also traveled abroad to Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Haiti and Thailand (see story on page 18).

Itineraries included leading Bible studies, home repair projects, worship services, and ongoing Katrina relief efforts. The volunteers were also involved in ministry through medical clinics, HIV/AIDS shelters, inner city soup kitchens, orphanages, and outreach

Panathenées Celebrates Golden Anniversary

On September 15, 1958, Panathenées became an offi cial C-N organization. The club fi lled a void, as there was no honor society exclusively for women to that point on campus. Guided by the leadership of English professor Janie Swann Huggins and foreign language professor Carey Crantford, the club later earned its Mortar Board national honor society affi liation. Decades and several hundred members later, Panathenées’ 50th anniversary year was one of celebration, refl ections and looking to the future.

To commemorate the year, current members and alumni held a special homecoming reception, a reading and storytelling event for area children, a 5K run, and a preservation effort to help safeguard historical C-N Mortar Board scrapbook collections. The C-N Mortar Board Alumni Chapter also began a fundraising campaign to raise $50,000 toward scholarships. Donations can be designated to endowed scholarships honoring Janie Swann Huggins or Anne Hunter Hughes.

Earning her degree was an experience she will never forget. Last year she returned to campus, but this time pursuing a master’s degree in Teaching English as a Second Language.

“I want to teach,” proclaims Erika. “All the education that I got from Carson-Newman–it’s been great for me to teach other people content, but to also be able to teach culture, to teach tolerance, to teach that it is wonderful to have experiences with people from other countries and cultures.”

Erika says her interest to first come to the U.S. went beyond academics, but was also driven by a desire to become multicultural and develop friendships with those from other countries. She explains that by taking advantage of opportunities to study abroad or have cross-cultural experiences while at C-N enhances the educational experience.

“It’s a way to educate yourself. You are learning more about many different ways to think, you are expanding your horizons, you’re letting new ways of thinking influence your thinking,” says Erika, “that’s not necessarily a bad thing to be open to new ideas because it may allow you to be more creative, have more friends, and develop more skills.” Yu-Ting Fang {Taiwan} China Having a vision of “world-wide impact” means having no limitations.

Russia Elena Peykina says her time at Carson-Newman has already impacted Elena Peykina her future plans. “English is one of the most important languages in the world,” notes Elena of St. Petersburg, Russia. “If you are able to speak {Russia} English, you are able to speak with people from many countries.”

For Elena, the opportunity to study at Carson-Newman is directly tied to the College’s ongoing relationship with St. Petersburg Theological Seminary. Along with having hosted special summer English programs twice, the Russian school routinely invites faculty members from C-N’s School of Religion to teach courses in their classrooms.

Elena says that such cross-cultural experiences build bridges. “Studying abroad allows you to understand the culture. It allows you to understand the soul of the people.”

North Korea YUST is playing an instrumental role in the development of Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST) in Pyongyang, North Korea. Because of its partnership with YUST, Carson-Newman is also one of the first U.S. institutions to partner with the Pyongyang school. The goal is to build a higher education institution, helping North Korea develop the necessary economic and intellectual infrastructure to function as a member of the international community. The first class of students entered PUST in April. Because of the bridges built, Carson-Newman now has the opportunity to carry its mission into this often closed country through faculty exchanges and student programs.

Japan Naoto Tsuchiyama’s decision to pursue an American education is steeped in family tradition. Both his grandfather and his grandfather’s father had done the same.

Naoto’s grandfather followed in the footsteps of his own dad, who had studied in the States in preparation for the ministry. Bokko, Naoto’s grandfather, left his native Osaka in 1939 rather than participate in government-imposed emperor Noeru Okamura worship. Bokko established a Japanese congregation while studying at Princeton, where he often shared meals with {Japan} Albert Einstein. He returned to Japan in 1947 to pastor, and later served as president of a Christian junior college. Mai Nghiem Ultimately, he returned to earn a PhD at Princeton. {Vietnam} Now, 70 years after Bokko’s arrival to the U.S., his grandson, Naoto, is studying in America.

She says that being the older Eagle Spotlight sister, she couldn’t help but offer advice to her younger sibling, now a junior. Supporting Scholar-Athletes at Carson-Newman sponsored by the Eagle Club “I told her to take full advantage of all the opportunities that the school offers,” says Afua. “I have encouraged her to cultivate strong and positive relationships with faculty, staff and students.”

Afua says that it was the forming of such relationships during her time as an undergraduate that she will never forget. “I made great friends and found great mentors, and they made an amazing difference in my life. Carson-Newman will always hold a special place in my heart.”

United States The possibilities that present themselves to students through cross-cultural experiences are often unexpected and life-changing. Shawn Taylor ’08 became involved with the Center for Global Education as a student worker. Placed there by the Office of Financial Assistance, Taylor, then a freshman majoring in accounting, admits that initially the arrangement didn’t seem to fit his original plans.

“I didn’t know another language; I didn’t even know what global education was,” says the Church Hill, Tennessee native. “I had certainly never met a person from another country, with the exceptions of some missionaries.”

Plans change. Throughout his four years as Afua Owusu-Baafi an undergraduate, Taylor was involved as a Afia Owusu-Baafi conversation partner with new English speakers and embraced an active role in the International Club. {Ghana} Since graduating in business with an accounting emphasis, he has been teaching at the ECC English Institute Center outside of Seoul, Korea.

JOURNEY summer 2009 17 18 JOURNEY summer 2009 A House with a Mission

by Mark Brown • photos by Geoff Pound

ave the sign in the front yard, there is nothing extraordinary about the white, green-shuttered, framed house C-N bought last year. But, if you close your eyes and open your heart to hear the story it is beginning to tell in the lives of students… well, you might start thinking you are standing in a new kind of Taj Mahal. The story has several starting points. One could start with Kayla Beth Moore, a Tellico Plains Sfreshman who last summer began to pray for missionaries in Southeast Asia, all the while wondering what her burden for that part of the world could mean. The narrative could commence with Dr. David Crutchley’s years-long hope of imbuing students with a desire to actively participate in international missions. Vickie Butler could open the account with her role in trying to match a potential patron to a Carson-Newman need that met his wishes. Or, the guide of choice might be Dr. Geoff Pound, who coordinates Theologians Without Borders (TWB) from his home in the United Arab Emirates. Since a good story is rather like a circle, with neither a singular beginning nor a termination point, perhaps it’s best to begin with the fairytale. In January, Henry Greer, or “Hank” as friends and family call him, sat in the parlor of the house and recalled the fi rst time he saw Dorothy Harris. He had mustered out of the U.S. Navy in 1946 and left his family’s business, Bass Pecan Company in Lumberton, Mississippi, for Forth Worth and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. To pay his way in seminary, he secured a job in the cafeteria and was given the assignment of selling ice cream from a little stand out in the dining area. “It was a good chance to meet girls,” he smiled. “One day, I saw this pretty girl coming toward my stand, and I thought, ‘Oh my goodness, I’ll have to give her extra ice cream.’” Smitten, Hank tried to pursue Dorothy despite the fact that she had a beau who had recently joined the military. They began talking, and even dated a bit as the academic year passed. Come summer, Dorothy graduated and returned to her native North Carolina where she had secured a position as education secretary at the First Baptist Church of Cherryville. Either a brainstorm or a heart-storm led Hank to look for a summer job at Ridgecrest, thinking that the mere 60 miles distance would grant him the chance to regularly see the girl with whom he was falling in love. Told he could have a job at the SBC mountaintop retreat, he made his way across the country. The job? Hotel night manager; weekends included. “Why, it took me a month to get my boss to let me off for a weekend so I could go see her,” he laughed. He saw her when he could, but admits it wasn’t nearly as much as he would have liked. The summer done, Hank returned to Fort Worth vowing to write “Dottie” faithfully. He did. “You know, it’s just a wonder she didn’t fall in love with the mailman since he was delivering a letter to her every day,” he hooted. In the summer of 1948, just shy of two years after Hank had employed his extra-scoop-of-ice-cream strategy, the pair married. Shortly thereafter, they moved to Atlanta where Hank led the Baptist Student
