Women's Basketball Women’s Basketball All Access October 2011 A LETTER FROM THE DESK OF COACH BEN LISTER Greeting to all of the Lady Wildcat fans that are out there! First of all, I want to take the opportunity to let everyone know how thrilled I am at having the privilege to coach at such a tremendous academic and athletic institution. Baker truly is a special place and I want to thank all of you for your support of our proud program and all that you do to help make it a success. Without all of you, Baker Lady Wild- cat Basketball could never reach its full potential! The school year is off and running and we have taken full advantage of prepar- ing for our upcoming season. With so much change, it has been a welcome relief to see the leadership of the team buy in to the direction we are trying to take this program. Our off-season conditioning has been intense and competitive. Each of the girls know that every day is an opportunity to earn the right to play when the season starts, and although they are committed to team success, they know that now is the time to prove that they deserve to be on the court. They are doing that in their training, their individual work-outs, and by focusing on their grades. Our motto is “Expect to be Elite,” and we are pursuing that in all areas. With change comes the responsibility to bridge the gap with the past and recog-nize that Baker is the program that it is because of all the dedicated athletes and coaches who helped build this program. I thank all of you and particularly Coach Decker for her contribution and service to Baker during her tenure as coach. She continues to be helpful and gracious as the baton is passed! Recruiting is off to a great start already as well! We have signed our first student-athlete, Ericka Simpson for 2012-2013 season. We are extremely excited about her future and you can read more about her on our website at www.bakerwild- cats.com We are on the verge of starting our official practices, and I could not be more excited to get them going. We have a team that I believe is hungry to prove themselves. There is no doubt that we are young and have a lot of ground to cover in practice, but the commitment to excellence is there. We are not afraid of hard work and we welcome the challenge we are facing. This is a motivated group that is committed and we are going to push to be elite! “The rewards for those who persevere far exceed the pain that precedes -Coach Ben Lister victory.” WHAT TO LOOK FOR INSIDE THIS EDITION Page 2 - Taking a look at 2011-12 schedule Page 3 - Player Spotlights - Senior Gloria Atanmo | Senior Rae Lynn Stewart Page 4 - Alumni Corner - Patti Phillips 88’ set to be inducted into Hall of Fame Page 5 - Wildcats in action - Taking a quick look at the preseason thus far www.bakerwildcats.com 2011-12 Schedule Be sure to check back on www.bakerwildcats.com for live broadcast dates.

Her ability to play the one or two will allow us to utilize her skill set in multiple ways. We are fortunate to have her join our program.” As a junior, Simpson averaged 15 points, four assists and three rebounds per game, earning first-team all-Frontier League and first-team tri-county honors and receiving all-state honorable mention. Simpson also took part in two AAU all-star games. "“We know Ericka had a lot of options and her commitment to us sends the message that she believes in the direction of our program which were are very excited about.” www.bakerwildcats.com Spotlight Seniors Gloria Atanmo 5’10 | Senior | Avondale, Ariz. WHY IS BAKER SPECIAL TO YOU? Baker is special to me because it has grown into an extended family made of teammates , coaches, friends, faculty, and staff who all look out for my best interest. Coming to Baker on a limb and never stepping outside of the state of Arizona prior, I was forced to adapt, but found it very easy because of the welcoming environment. WHAT IS YOUR TEAM GOAL FOR THE UPCOMING SEASON? Is to play championship-caliber basketball while surprising our opponents with our tenacious will. Also surprise ourselves by reaching new heights and overcoming obstacles. Rae Lynne Stewart 5’10 | Senior | Independence, Mo. WHY IS BAKER SPECIAL TO YOU? Baker is special to me because of the close relationships and bonds that one make makes with faculty, coaches, and fellow students. Everyone knows everyone.

  • A History of the Chaplaincy at Depauw University
    History of the Chaplaincy at DePauw A History of the Chaplaincy at DePauw University Katherine E. Smanik Conversations about the spiritual lives of college students continue to grow within the student affairs profession. However, one area that has received little attention in this conversation is the role of chaplaincy in helping students explore their religious identities and providing spiritual care for the campus community. This paper traces the history of the chaplaincy at DePauw University as a way to look at shifts in perception of the role of religion in higher education. These shifts are significant because in a span of 70 years understandings of how one should engage religion have moved dramatically from a focus on Christian evangelism to a focus on engagement with religious pluralism. Chaplains have done this work for decades and offer a unique perspective on how to support college student religious and spiritual development in a rapidly changing environment. In 1985 the president of Carleton but the most religiously conservative of College, Robert Edwards, called a institutions, with each institution engaging committee to review the role of the these shifts in its own way. Considering the chaplaincy at that institution. In his charge way that the role of the chaplain was defined he asked, “Why does a non-sectarian at one institution, in light of the outside institution concerned with the intellectual forces that shaped that work, offers insight development of students enter the domain of for student affairs professionals as they religion - beyond that embraced by its consider how to meet the needs for religious Department of Religion?” (Colwell, 2016, p.
