WINTER 2012

A Blessed Community Building Community DR. HENRY SMITH For the past couple of years we have purposefully sought to increase multicultural diversity at Indiana Wesleyan University. One day while praying for a Christ-like community that honors him, I felt God revealed to me something I should have seen before – IWU should more clearly reflect the Kingdom of God by welcoming, embracing and including others from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds. A Diversity Task Force was formed in June of 2010 and met regularly to prayerfully understand and chart a course of action. The task force charge was to examine and recommend a holistic, integrated and intentional approach to enrich a campus culture that welcomes all students and faculty of multicultural diversity and international origins. We felt it was essential to commit to providing a learning experience that fully engages students and faculty of diversity in curricular and co-curricular education and spiritual formation rooted in the Wesleyan tradition. During that spring, Dr. Pete Menjares from Biola University conducted a diversity audit that enabled us to see ourselves more clearly, and he made many useful recommendations. The work of the task force and the audit led to a standing Multicultural Enrichment Council that is guiding our future course of action. We are learning. We have learned that changing community is not easy and will not just happen naturally. We have learned that most of us do not know how to make desired change in multicultural diversity – but we are trying. We have learned that not everyone thinks this is important, and some will oppose the change. I was deeply saddened and felt physically sick to learn of some intentional acts, defined as hate crimes, which happened on our campus late this fall. Clearly, these acts remind us of prejudices that still exist in our community. But, we are making progress. In the College of Arts and Sciences, where the greatest need seems to be, more students of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities are enrolling than ever before. We are aggressively seeking additional scholarships for multiculturally diverse students, and this fall’s incoming class of faculty is a strongly diverse group of hires. Over the years the College of Adult and Professional Studies has had a solid commitment to diversity, as well as the School of Nursing. Recent enrollments and hires in Wesley Seminary are commendable. Yet, we are not where we want to be. This is not just the “trend of the year;” this is something that I passionately believe God desires for IWU. Our community should be a safe place where ideas are shared, hearts are bonded and life lessons are learned. I believe we can only achieve the best of those ideals when we are inclusive. I know there will be challenges and setbacks along the way, but I dream of a day when diversity is such a part of who we are that no one talks about it – it is in our DNA. Or perhaps when we do talk about it, the context is the chance to share with others what has happened here and to celebrate what God is doing in our midst.

IWU Named “Great College to Work For” in 2011 The Chronicle of Higher Education has named IWU one of the best colleges in the nation to work for. The results of The Chronicle’s fourth annual report on The Academic Workplace were based on a survey of nearly 44,000 workers at 310 colleges and universities. Only 111 of the institutions surveyed were recognized. IWU won honors in two categories: • Leadership. IWU was specifically honored for supervisors who build good relationships with their staffs by making their expectations clear and soliciting ideas. • Workplace. The survey said IWU facilities meet needs, the campus appearance is pleasing and steps are taken to provide a secure environment for workers. Colleges were honored in three categories – small, medium and large – and IWU fell into the large category with more than 10,000 students. IWU received similar honors in 2009 from The Chronicle of Higher Education. The weekly Washington, D.C.-based magazine considers itself to be the most widely-read source of information for leaders in higher education. IWU also has been honored three times in recent years as one of the Best Christian Workplaces. The Best Christian Workplaces Institute also bases that honor on a survey of IWU employees. IWU has about 1,000 employees.
