    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.

  • Over 400 Reasons to Signup for a Holy Hour of Eucharistic Adoration
    Over 600 Reasons To Signup For A Holy Hour Of Eucharistic Adoration - 1 - Over 600 Reasons To Signup For A Holy Hour Of Eucharistic Adoration (Updated 4/15/13 - From “St. Francis Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration” Website - www.stfrancisadoration.org) Dear friend in Christ, The trouble with our world today boils down to one thing: lack of love of our beloved Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar because of our lack of belief and faith in the Eucharist. To a certain degree this affects us all. If we really believed that the Eucharist is Jesus wouldn’t each of us sign up for an hour of adoration in an instant? To put it another way, if we knew Jesus was literally walking around in a house in Traverse City waiting to show us the solutions to our problems in life, wouldn’t we make an appointment to see Him no matter how busy we are? All solutions and healings come from the Eucharist because the Eucharist is Jesus. It is important to make a sacrifice of our time and sign up for a specific hour of adoration simply because Jesus has gone out of His way, to descend from Heaven, to come to Traverse City to speak to us and heal us – but this takes many appointments. Jesus appreciates any visit and bestows many graces on us. But how much more will He heal us when we imitate Him and go out of our way in visiting Him by signing up for a particular Holy Hour. Our Saints knew all of this all to well.
