Mikal Peveto glad to be back at Brevard
by Misty Phillips
His reason for returning to Brevard Col
lege is plain and simple. Mikal Peveto
loves Brevard.
A native of Corpus Cristi, Texas, Peveto
graduated from Brevard College in 1983
and went on to the University of Southern
Alabama where he received his bachelor’s
degree in Special Education.
"I came back because 1 wanted to work
at Brevard. I love it! I think they've done
more for me than I could ever do for
them," Peveto said.
Peveto is an admissions counselor for
Brevard College. According to Peveto. his
job is to "be Brevard College in Florida”
and since approximately 30 percent of the
student body is from Florida, his job is a
big one.
"I go into a school and market Brevard
College. I meet with 15 or so high school
students and tell them what we have to of
fer them and they tell me what they have
to offer us." Peveto said.
While he was a student at Brevard Col
lege. Peveto ran cross-country under
Coach Witek on the first national cham
pionship team and was also an All-
American. "Coach Witek had a big in-
flunce on me coming back He made me
realize thal I can do other things besides
run." Peveto said.
The best quality of the Brevard College
staff is unity, according to Peveto. "At
Brevard College I'm part of a team. I like
that concept. 1 think it is a lot easier to be a
team than an individual and Brevard does
that." Peveto said.
Peveto also feels there are more good
things about Brevard College today than
when he was here. "Everything is new, the
president, the dean, the new faculty. It’s
neat. I think it s great that the president is
walking around the campus, " Peveto said
"These people are here for them and that
IS the greatest thing about Brevard Col
lege”
"Its hard to tell students how much
they’ll appreciate this place some dav ”
Peveto said

Brevard College plans
annual Phon-a-thon
by Bonnie Davis
Brevard College will be holding its fifth
annual phon-a-thon to EC alumni to raise
money for the student scholarship fund on
Nov, 17-20 and Dec. 1-4. This year’s goal is
to reach a mark of $40,000.
An ice cream social, organizational
meeting was held last Wednesday, Oct. 29,
to talk about the purposue of the phon-a-
thon, techniques on how to handle the
calls, intended goals, and prizes awarded
to participants who volunteer their time,
Sally Gunther, alumni director, said, “The
nice part about the phon-a-thon is that a
student who participate will be working to
raise money for a scholarship that might
have made of possible for them to attend
Brevard College, too.”
Prizes will be awarded to those students
who collect the greatest total of donation
pledges. Another bonus is that for each
night a student works, he will be allowed a
free, three minute phone call anywhere in
the continental U.S. Also, a candlelight
dinner will be held for those hwo work at
least two nights.
The phon-a-thon will be held on the
above dates in the conference room of the
Beam administration building. Ten phones
will be set up and each need to be manned
every night if the goal of $40,000 is to be
reached. Training sessions will be held
tonight in the President’s dining room and
again on Wednesday, Nov. 12, to show
volunteers how to handle calls. For further
information, contact Sally Gunther in the
Alumni office located in the administra
tion building. The phon-a-thon promises to
be fun and as Bailey said, “people kept
coming back last year because they en
joyed it.”
