The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Campbellsville University a Word from the President… February 2010 VOL. 8, NO. 1 FEBRUARY 2010 The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Campbellsville University A Word from the President… February 2010 Dear CU Alumni and Friends: As you read this letter, we are in the first few weeks of our spring 2010 semester. We are off to a good start in 2010 and look forward to continuing successes in the months ahead. Students are having a very positive spring semester, and we are looking forward to another record number of graduates for the year. The fall 2009 semester was a time of significant events. The semester began with the approval of Vision 2025 – Preparing Christian Servant Leaders by the Board of Trustees as a strategic blueprint for the next 15 years. A series of Vision 2025 capital campaigns will be conducted in order to make this bold and aggressive plan a reality. Building on the momentum of Vision 2025, the fall student enrollment reached an all-time high, our 19th consecutive semester of record enrollment, of 3,178 students. We were named to the top 25 of baccalaureate colleges in the south for the third straight year by U.S.News & World Report and one of the four “up and coming institutions” in the south (and one of 77 in the nation). CU was also named a “military friendly institution” by GI Jobs magazine and named as one of America’s Best Christian Colleges® for the third consecutive year. These are recognitions of the growing reputation that CU has earned as a very fine institution of higher education. The School of Education building was dedicated during the semester and now houses our largest academic program. The Louisville Center reached an all-time record enrollment of 239 during the fall. The Dr. Michael V. Carter new Brockman Center in Hodgenville was dedicated on Nov. 19 and is now offering a growing variety of classes including Technology Training Center courses. Our extension site in Somerset doubled in size from the previous year, and sites in Elizabethtown, Jamestown, and Green County are doing well. We are in the midst of a $1.2 million capital campaign for installation of synthetic turf on the football field and lighting on the football and baseball fields. The “more than a game” campaign is undergirded by a lead gift of $500,000 from a local donor, and additional gifts for this very important project are in process. Installation of the turf and lighting is under way, and this project will allow us to host night football and Dr. Alton Lacey, center, is given the baseball games, play soccer on the football field, and greatly Campbellsville University Leadership Award enhance the image and competitiveness of our athletic by Dr. Frank Cheatham, vice president for programs.

Colleges and Universities, was our commencement speaker on Friday, Dec. 11 as 168 baccalaureate and graduate level students received their diplomas. The Ransdell Chapel was completely filled on this momentous occasion as we celebrated the accomplishments of another very fine group of Campbellsville University graduates. It is hard to realize that more than ten years have passed since I assumed the presidency of Campbellsville University. Our first decade of working together has been one of tremendous transformation and change. However, I remain convinced that the best days for Campbellsville University lie ahead. I am daily humbled to be a part of the leadership team of Campbellsville University. We are thankful for a dedicated Board of Trustees, senior administrative team, faculty, staff and coaches, and we serve a diverse, growing and talented student body. Thank you for all that you are doing to make Campbellsville University one of America’s premier Christian universities. Most cordially, Michael V.

  • The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Campbellsville University a Word from the President… August 2010
    VOL. 8, NO. 3 AUGUST 2010 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.

  • CCCU Faculty Salary Survey 2016-17
    CCCU Faculty Salary Survey: 2016-17 Update by Nita Stemmler, Council for Christian Colleges & Universities Introduction. This is the thirty-third in an annual series of research reports conducted by the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU). The purpose of this study is to provide CCCU Governing Member institutions with comparative and longitudinal salary data. The research has traditionally been based on information compiled for the AAUP, appearing in Academe each spring (for the current study, from March/April, 2017). Fifty-seven CCCU institutions of 111 US- based schools are not represented in the AAUP survey this year. For these members, the author used data surveyed by the CCCU. Nine schools are not represented in this study due to a lack of available data. Due to changes in CCCU membership categories, only governing members are included in this survey, however, we have added a new appendix based on Carnegie Classifications that allow us to include collaborative partners and affiliate members. Readers should keep in mind these data sources when considering any analysis. Schools in the group which did not report data to Academe but which did respond to the CCCU survey used the definitions from the AAUP survey to help attain similarity and comparability. Academe requests salary information based on a 9-month contract, and this has meant that some universities have had to recalculate salaries if significant numbers of faculty work a ten-month or eleven-month academic year. General Findings. Table I (below) summarizes the central tendencies for salaries, by rank, for the past ten years of the study period.

  • Lighthouse on the Hill: the Bluefield
    The Bluefield College Story Lighthouse on the Hill: Retired Senior Professor of History By: Rev. David M. Armbrister Resiliency! This is a word that aptly fits the story of Bluefield College. Financial issues have beset the school since its beginning, often giv- ing those directly associated with its operation, as well as those simply interested in its welfare, concern about its continuance as an education- al institution. If there had not been men and women of strong faith and characterized by their willingness to make great sacrifices, the college might not exist today. There would be no eighty-fifth anniversary celebration in 2007. We can be thankful for that band of men who made that trip to Bristol, Virginia in a day when travel was not easy. The enthusiasm and drive that they took with them established a model that others would follow in supporting a Baptist college and, initially, a fitting school equivalent to a high school for southwest Vir- ginia. The courage and determination that ac- companied their great belief that the school was in God’s plan continued to uplift and guide the institution through its early years. These same qualities and convictions have enabled the school to overcome its problems and emerge as one of Virginia’s leading institutions of higher learning today. The author of this work has sought to present this marvelous story in a manner that will cap- ture the unique spirit of this school and those who have been associated with it through the years. His prayer is that the story will awaken a new understanding of the service that the col- lege has rendered in its eighty-five years and provide the groundwork on which it can go for- ward in the years ahead.
