Petitt, President A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT For over seventy years Piedmont has been known as the place where passion for Jesus Christ and academic excellence converge, as evidenced by thousands of alumni who are using their lives to truly count for eternity and make a difference in their corner of God’s great vineyard. Over the past decade Piedmont has also become known for embracing technology, utilizing innovation, developing strategic partnerships, and leveraging the Internet to lower tuition, improve learning, and expand our influence across the nation and around the world. The results have been exciting and humbling, driving us to our knees over and over again as we express our profound appreciation to God and give glory where it is rightly due. Inspiration, innovation, and collaboration are central to Piedmont’s vision. At our core we stand firmly on the inspired Word of God, and we continue to make the Bible the foundation for all degree programs. Piedmont’s collaborative efforts have produced partnerships all around the world. Over several years, we have merged with five universities with the most recent merger being with John Wesley University in High Point, NC. We are also grateful and happy to have merged with Southeastern Bible College in Birmingham, AL; Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga, TN; Atlantic Baptist College in Chester, VA and Spurgeon Baptist College in Lakeland, FL. Going forward our vision is to graduate key Christian influencers in and from every state and nation. So, if you are a prospective student, I encourage you to enroll in one of our exciting programs today and join a global family of pastors, university presidents, authors, musicians, nonprofit managers, missionaries, chaplains, educators, sign language interpreters, and national and international leaders of all kinds who are truly making a difference and call Temple Baptist Seminary or Piedmont International University their Alma Mater.

    TESTING TIMES UNC CAMPUSES PRESS TO ATTRACT MORE RURAL AND LOW-INCOME STUDENTS — AND SUPPORT THEM TO THE FINISH LINE. BY DAVID MILDENBERG t seems that everyone has been get- ting graded at the 17 UNC System Icampuses — except the chancellors who run the show. “There’s always been a lot of trust, and the universities have pretty much said, ‘We’ll spend the mon- ey. Now leave us alone,’” says Margaret Spellings, the system president since 2016. “There have been lengthy stra- tegic plans covering everything but the kitchen sink, and you wouldn’t disagree with anything in them. But they aren’t as focused as we need them to be.” Now, system leaders are raising the bar for campus accomplish- ments rather than relying on what Spellings calls “random acts of kindness.” The chancellors have signed customized performance agreements that reflect specific improvement goals developed after input from faculty, staff, campus trustee boards and the UNC System. At UNC Charlotte, where Chancellor Philip Dubois has led dramatic growth during 13 years at the helm, the five-year plan calls for graduating 30% more low-income students, growing A key mission at Winston-Salem State University is to successfully guide stu- research funding by 44% and increasing the number of students dents with limited previous exposure to higher education, Chancellor Elwood graduating within five years by about 6 percentage points, to 65%. Robinson says. While only about half of new enrollees earn a degree within Appalachian State University has already surpassed its goal for five years, he’s optimistic that the UNC System efforts will spark gains.
