By giving to Berea College, these generous women and men have made possible a host of educational opportunities for Berea students. As I reflect upon these names, I think how inspiring it is to have thousands of different people come together on an annual basis for one cause—to support the mission of Berea College. From alumni, to friends of Berea, to foundations and corporations, the Berea story would not be complete without those you see listed here. These great people saw something in our students and our mission. They saw possibility and promise. Not only that, they acted, giving selflessly to help others. We are grateful for their generosity, compassion, and steadfast belief in our students’ potential. Berea students are extraordinary in so many ways. Limited only by their financial need, Berea students go on to do great work in countless ways. See some of their incredible stories here http://www.berea.edu/give-to-berea/now-more-than-ever/.

    FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF FLORIDA SOUTHERN COLLEGE OUTHERNNEWS S VOLUME 61 • ISSUE 2 • SUMMER 2016 A letter from the president One of the greatest challenges for any American college today is achieving continuous improvement throughout the entire institution. The FSC faculty, administration, and student leaders constantly pursue enhancements to academic programs, services, activities, and outcomes measurements of student success. This issue of Southernnews contains many examples of campus results that demonstrate our success in meeting this challenge, which we do with great enthusiasm. One of our newest programs was the Child of the Sun Distinguished Speakers Series, which focused attention on the sciences outside the classroom, for not only science majors, but also all students who are interested in scientific discoveries. The series included presentations by Dr. William Phillips, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, and Dr. Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman in space. The first Marine Science Symposium was also launched, which featured a return visit from our 81st honorary chancellor, the renowned ocean explorer and conservationist, Jean-Michel Cousteau. FSC faculty members continue to garner important recognitions for their impressive achievements. Professor of History James M. Denham, Ph.D., received the Rembert Patrick Award for best scholarly book on Florida history by the Florida Historical Society and was named the 2016 Distinguished Author by Florida House on Capitol Hill. Dr. Risdon Slate, professor of criminology, was honored with the John Howard Award for significant contributions to the practice of corrections by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. The entire FSC community celebrated the wonderful news that Professor of Chemistry Carmen Gauthier, Ph.D., was named a Fulbright Scholar, one of the world’s highest academic achievements.
