DECEMBER 2016 UNITED BOARD FOR CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION IN

Opening Paths for Networking and Exchange

In this issue: Our 2016 Annual Report Message from the President Harvest Time

In August of this year, four young Sri Lankan students arrived to begin their studies at , part of a fast-moving relationship between United Board network institutions in and schools in the war-torn Jaffna region of northern Sri Lanka. Only four days earlier, members of the United Board’s South Asia Task Force, accompanied by a dynamic group of Indian higher education leaders, had been seated in a conference room in Jaffna, exchanging ideas with local educators about ways to strengthen the skills of faculty and enrich the educational experience of students at a time of national and regional recovery. The discussion was intended to help our task force better understand the higher education landscape in Sri Lanka, but thanks to the generous impulses of leaders from Madras Christian College, , and Women’s Christian College, that conversation very quickly shifted our perspective from what we might attempt in the near future to what we can do today. Nancy E. Chapman President That experience reminds me that the future is never more than a few steps away. The actions of my South Asian “When our earlier investments are bearing colleagues demonstrate that the needs of Asian college and fruit, we should not delay the harvest. administrators, faculty, and students are immediate – and often, some solutions are readily available. Given our modest resources, the United Board takes a thoughtful, measured approach” to developing new program areas and extending its network to new regions. But we also recognize that when our earlier investments are bearing fruit, we should not delay the harvest.

Our United Board network is one of those investments – and the harvest is bountiful! We are blessed to count more than 80 vibrant colleges and in our network. Like the three Indian colleges, many Asian higher education institutions are eager to share their ideas and expertise, and the stories in this issue of Horizons show some of the ways in which this is already happening. I hope that you, like all of us at the United Board, will be inspired by the ways in which faculty, administrators, and leaders are harvesting the benefi ts of their own experiences on the frontlines of higher education and eagerly crossing national, institutional, and disciplinary boundaries to share the fruits with others.

A Return Visit

Anil Pinto resumed his work as registrar of in India in December 2015, excited about possibilities for institutional collaboration after his three-month United Board Fellowship placement in Hong Kong. Ten months later, in October, he returned to Hong Kong with a delegation of 22 administrators and faculty members from Christ University, eager to introduce them to educators at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, his host institution, and other universities. Many of the delegation members, particularly junior faculty, have had few chances to travel outside The Christ University delegation at the United Board’s Hong Kong offi ce. India, so the trip was a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas about best practices.

Training for Librarians

Libraries are beacons for inquiring minds and critical thinkers, providing a base for research and refl ection. In Myanmar, the need for effective library services is becoming more evident to seminaries that are expanding their programs beyond theological education to include liberal arts programs. To help meet this need, in Thailand hosted librarians from seven Myanmar seminaries for a two-week intensive training program on library administration. The training introduced fundamental concepts, such as the Dewey Decimal System, and offered hands-on sessions in cataloging and archiving. A United Board grant supported the The Myanmar librarians practice cataloging books. program, with librarians from Payap University and resource persons from the Chiang Mai area delivering the training.

5 Sharing Knowledge among Communities Dr. Stephanus Mandagi, Sam Ratulangi University

“The students were so optimistic and energized to teach. ” In some respects, Stephanus Mandagi’s project on local knowledge and coastal communities, supported by the United Board’s Bamboo Grants Program, resembles a tale of three communities. In Baturapa, a village in Indonesia’s North Sulawesi Province, residents have been protecting 50 hectares of mangroves along their coastline for years. Yet in Sorong, the largest city in West Papua Province, mangroves have been cleared to make way for development and are used for construction materials. Meanwhile, on the campus of Sam Ratulangi University in North Sulawesi’s capital of Manado, Dr. Mandagi has been using his classroom to help students understand In Baturapa, students learned that the process of the of coastal conservation. He designed this restoring mangroves began in 2005, when concerned project with Gaspar Manu, a lecturer at Sam Ratulangi residents began to realize that mangrove clearing had University, and Roger Talabessy, a lecturer at Papua caused a reduction in the stock of small fi sh bait and left Christian University in Sorong, so that students could their homes exposed to winds. They began to restore try to bridge the different outlooks found in places like the mangrove habitat and, eventually, even those who Baturapa and Sorong. were reluctant to replant mangroves were persuaded. Protecting mangroves also protected the livelihoods “This project was part of the course I teach on of fi shermen, their homes, and the outlook for future conservation of marine resources in the Faculty of generations. Fisheries and Marine Science,” Dr. Mandagi said in a recent interview. He and his colleagues adopted service- In Sorong, where Dr. Mandagi and his students worked in learning as the teaching method so that students could collaboration with Papua Christian University, students connect the knowledge they were developing in the encountered a sharp contrast. “Huge mangrove areas classroom with an appreciation for the local knowledge were cleared, and mangrove poles were sold on the main found in coastal communities.

Given these circumstances, his sharing it with others through a video presentation, gave students at fi rst were nervous to talk about mangrove the students a concrete way to participate in Indonesia’s conservation in front of the community. But the video proved national mitigation and adaptation strategies for climate to be an effective way to share knowledge and experience change. between one community and another. The residents were eager to ask questions, and “the students were so optimistic and energized to teach,” Dr. Mandagi said.

“Most community members are willing to change their practice of cutting and selling mangrove if alternative income-generating activities will be available to them,” Dr. Mandagi observed. But how can new, environmentally friendly livelihoods be created in communities like Sorong? How can sound regulations and organizations be put in place to manage mangrove protection? With those questions and others in mind, Dr. Mandagi’s students will Taking students into the fi eld to learn about mangrove conservation. bring fresh eyes to their classroom and library studies, their lab research, and their fi eld work. 6 Building Competence, Character, and Faith Ben S.

“We were taught to think independently and globally. ” Elizabeth Abel now lives nearly 9,000 miles away from Lady Doak College, yet still feels a deep sense of gratitude for the education she received at this Christian college for women. “It was a place for inspiration, where we were taught to think independently and globally,” she recalled in a recent interview. Students were encouraged to be leaders, and outside activities made them socially aware. “The school helped girls to become women, and showed us how to go out into the world,” she said. “We knew Lady Doak College was a stepping stone to something bigger in life.”
