Growing into the Future

n 2003-2004, the College constructed and opened the new 94-bed Bridges Residence Hall, Icompleted a new entrance to the campus, iden- tified the location where over 20 new lampposts with signage banners will be installed, added trees, shrubs, and ground cover to beautify the campus, and installed irrigation systems to support these plantings. As a declaration of faith in the mission of the College, the Board secured a loan to cover these projects. A $1 million gift from SMC Trustee, Ms. Susan Bridges and her family, infused a contagious spirit of optimism in the students, faculty, staff, Trustees, and friends of the College. That spirit continues as plans are made for the future of the College. At the 2004 February Board meeting, Trustees engaged in a “needs analysis” of the institution. Leaders from the area of Computer Services presented an overview of computer and technology needs, emphasizing the ineffective and disjointed administrative software system that must be replaced as soon as possible. Following this presentation, Trustees toured several campus facilities and soon con- cluded that much work must be done to upgrade housing and educational facilities throughout the insti- tution. Following the tour of campus facilities, the Trustees participated in a fundraising workshop led by the Institutional Advancement staff. The workshop led to a declaration by Trustees that it will take a team effort to raise sufficient funds to eliminate the current debt on the Bridges Residence Hall and to provide adequate resources to address student housing concerns and the academic needs of the College. The Board directed the administration to initiate a study of Willard Residence Hall to determine if the College should remodel the facility and restore it as a residence hall, remodel and convert the facili- ty to other purposes, or demolish the structure and build another new residence hall. The results of the study will be presented to the Board in the May Board meeting. Recognizing that the number and state of classrooms and faculty offices in the Montgomery Science Building, Walker Classroom Building and the Bridges Arena are insufficient to meet the educational needs and expectations of students and faculty, the Board will consider renovating these facilities and/or constructing a new classroom building. The Board also noted that the location of the music and drama departments overlaps the teaching of physical education and health classes in the Barrett Learning Center. As Trustees toured the Barrett Learning Center, other needs were identified: The lighting in Camak Auditorium needs to be upgraded, the carpet on the mezzanine walkway around the gymnasium floor needs to be replaced, and the training room and fitness areas are too small to meet current institutional needs. Ultimately, a field house needs to be constructed to support our intercolle- giate athletic program. Alumni and friends of the College, you are a significant part of the SMC Team. We consider you to be among our finest teammates. We are grateful for your gifts and ask that you continue to support the College as we move forward. With your assistance, we are confident that the future of this great institution is on a firm foundation. What a marvelous time to be involved in crafting the future of Spartanburg Methodist College! May God Bless You Now and Always,

Charles P. Teague President

Here are some more scenes from last February’s snow. More than six inches of snowfall transformed the SMC campus into a Winter Wonderland. With two days off from class, many students found time for sledding down some of the slopes on campus and engaged in snowball fights. Some even found enough snow to build an igloo! At the same time, the SMC maintenance staff stayed busy clear- ing walkways to ensure that the white fluffy stuff didn’t have a chance to transform into slippery ice.

Quiche Me Loraine is more than just a great cookbook, full of hearty main dishes, appetizers, relishes, pickles, vegetable dishes, breads and pas- tries and desserts. It is also a cookbook for the health-conscious, with recipes for healthy cooking and eating, as well as “heart healthy” dishes. But this cookbook is special for an even bigger reason. Proceeds from its sale benefit the Iris Clardy Ellis and Loraine Ellis Memorial Scholarship. The cookbook is truly a labor of love for SMC Trustee and retired United Methodist Minister Dr. Ed Ellis and his wife, Dr. Charlotte Lindler Ellis. Shortly after losing his first wife, Iris Clardy Ellis in 1996, Ellis was faced with the news that his only child, Loraine Ellis, was dying of cancer. Loraine knew how much the College meant to her father and mother, who met at Spartanburg Junior College as students in the 1950s. Loraine herself attended the college and shared her parents’ commitment to their Alma Mater. Just weeks before her death in December, 1998, she said to her father, “Daddy, there are others out ORDER FORM there just like you were.
