The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Campbellsville University A Word from the President… August 2010

Dear Alumni and Friends: The summer months have been a very busy and exciting time for all of us at Campbellsville University. We have had a record summer school enrollment of 669 students, strong attendance at the various summer camps and conferences held on campus, construction of the new 90-bed men’s housing facility, completion of the turf on the football/soccer field and lighting for football, soccer and baseball, numerous landscaping and renovation projects across campus, and preparation for the fall 2010 semester. There is an old adage that time passes quickly when you’re enjoying what you do. That is Dr. Michael V. Carter so very true when I pause to consider my time at Campbellsville University. Having just completed 11 years as president of Campbellsville University, and now begin- ning year number 12, it is humbling to consider the tremendous progress that Campbellsville University has made. Certainly, we must first express thanks to God for the abundance of His blessings. We have remained faithful to our heritage as a Christ-centered university, and God has been at the center of our movement forward. Second, the support of our many alumni and friends has enabled us to have the resources to offer the academic programs, improved facilities, and increased student services and activities to become an even better university. The hard work of the Board of Trustees, Church Relations Council, Advancement Board, Board of Alumni, Athletic Boosters, Big Maroon Club, and other groups has been crucial in our success. Third, the hard work and dedication of the faculty, staff, and coaches has been evident as we work cooperatively to fulfill the mission of Campbellsville University—to prepare the next generation of Christian servant leaders. We are now preparing to welcome a new class of freshmen and transfer students, for the fall 2010 semester, as well as a large Henry Lee, president and chief executive officer of Taylor County Bank, number of returning students. Enrollment projections for fall right, talks with Dr. Michael V. Carter, president of Campbellsville 2010 are very positive, and the new students will be greeted University, as they tour the Beulah Campbell Collection Room. with a series of activities, orientation to university life, academic (CU Photo by Joan C. McKinney) advising, and service projects. The late summer/early fall period is an exciting time as students return to campus, begin classes, and participate in many new experiences. The Fighting Tigers football team, ranked number 25 in the nation in pre-season ratings, will be playing the first-ever game “under the lights” and on the new turf on Saturday evening, August 28, when we host Kentucky Christian University. The soccer teams will be playing 15 home games on the new turf field as well. All of our fall sports teams should be very competitive in the Mid-South Conference. This issue of the Campbellsvillian contains a number of important stories and updates from across the university community and updates among alumni. Please mark your calendar for October 22-23 and join us for a very special two days of memorable Homecoming activities. Each of you is vital in our efforts to move Campbellsville University forward, to fulfill the goals ofVision 2025 – Preparing Christian Servant Leaders, and in serving the Christian higher education needs of our students. Thank you for all that you do.

Most cordially,

Michael V. Carter, President
