Today BP explores in 26 countries. We have expanded from our established base of Alaska, the North Sea and America and created major positions in such regions as Angola, Azerbaijan, Trinidad and Tobago, Russia and the Gulf of Mexico. We operate onshore and offshore, from polar regions to desert terrain, in temperatures that descend to -72oF and rise to 104oF and beyond. So what part will you play? You will go straight into a real job, working on projects and with people that are changing the face of the energy industry. From small innovations to giant advances, there is a relentless desire to find new reserves, cleaner fuels, greater efficiencies and alternative energies. Look beyond the limits.

    IN SEARCH OF THE AMAZON AMERICAN ENCOUNTERS/GLOBAL INTERACTIONS A series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg This series aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh interpretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global pres- ence of the United States. Its primary concerns include the deployment and contestation of power, the construction and deconstruction of cul- tural and political borders, the fluid meanings of intercultural encoun- ters, and the complex interplay between the global and the local. American Encounters seeks to strengthen dialogue and collaboration between histo- rians of U.S. international relations and area studies specialists. The series encourages scholarship based on multiarchival historical research. At the same time, it supports a recognition of the represen- tational character of all stories about the past and promotes critical in- quiry into issues of subjectivity and narrative. In the process, American Encounters strives to understand the context in which meanings related to nations, cultures, and political economy are continually produced, chal- lenged, and reshaped.

The enrollment has reached a total head count of 3,225 students, which constitutes our 21st consecutive semester of record enrollment. The U.S.News & World Report rankings resulted in CU being named 25th in the South among regional colleges (our 4th consecutive year of being a top 25 institution and our 18th consecutive year of being named among America’s best colleges and universities) and number three in the South in the “Up-and-Coming Schools” category (one of only 68 colleges and universities in the nation in this category and up one spot from last year’s number four ranking). For the second consecutive year, Campbellsville University has been named as a “military friendly institution” and among America’s Best Christian Colleges for the fourth consecutive year. These ratings reflect the increased recognition of Campbellsville University as a vibrant and innovative institution among the nation’s 4,000 plus colleges and universities. As students arrived for the fall semester, they were pleased to find a number of facilities improvements: lights and turf on the football field, lights at the baseball stadium, the new 90-bed Men’s Dr. Michael V. Carter, president Village facility on the south side of the campus, several additional smart classrooms with the latest of Campbellsville University, technology made available, several areas of enhanced landscaping and related upgrades, expanded parking poses with Faith Manion, the areas, and addition of three new academic programs.

    VOL. 9, NO. 4 NOVEMBER 2011 The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Campbellsville University A Word from the President… November 2011 Dear Alumni and Friends: The fall 2011 semester has been a season of continuing progress at Campbellsville University as we work hard to provide quality Christian higher education for our students. Now in her 105th year, CU’s mission has never been more important as we daily go about the task of preparing Christian servant leaders and bringing Christ-centered education, in an atmosphere of excellence and diversity, to our students through innovation, improved facilities, and employment of dedicated faculty, staff, and coaches. This issue of the Campbellsvillian includes The President’s Report for fiscal year 2010-2011, which ended June 30, 2011. The report has Vision 2025 as the theme, and we have shown pictures Dr. Michael V. Carter and improvements that reflect our goals in Vision 2025. A few highlights from the fall semester merit mention here, and are discussed in more detail in the articles following this introductory letter. Total enrollment has reached more than 3,500 students—our 23rd consecutive semester of record enrollment. CU has moved from classification as a regional college to being a regional university—resulting in being ranked number 71 in the South among the best regional universities by U.S.News & World Report. This is seen as a confirmation of the move made by the Board of Trustees in 1996 when Campbellsville College became Campbellsville University. It is also part of our Vision 2025: Preparing Christian Servant Leaders blueprint for the future—to become a premier Christian university in America.

Death was being sown right and left by COVID-19, by virus-deniers, and by racist violence and counter-violence. While the 2020 Limestone Review best-of-genre Alpha Award recipients wrote their works prior to the tragic events of Spring 2020, I can’t help but think that their voices resonate and reverberate amid the swirl of all these forces. What happens when we look the other way and let evil play out? In Caroline Breitbach’s short story, “A Real Boy,” a mother closes her eyes—and her young son’s—to child (or toy?) abuse in a toymaker’s shop.
