Bruce Moore joined the GWU administralive
staff in July as Vice President and Dean of Student
Development, the position formerly held by Jerome
Scott, who passed away in May.
Prior to Gardner-Webb, Moore held the posi
tion of Vice President for Student Development and
Dean of Students at Chowan College, located in
Murfreesboro, North Carolina.
Administrative officials at Gardner-Webb say
that Moore was highly recommended, noting the
excellent rapport with students he has maintained
throughout his previous positions.
Senior Vice President and Provost, Dr. Frank
Bonner said of Moore: "We feel that Bruce has a
genuine love and concern for college students and
their well-being. As a person and an administrator,
he has shown strong character and leadership abili
ties. He is eager to be a part of Gardner-Webb."
When asked his impression of GWU, Moore
stated: "Gardner-Webb has the most polite student
body I've seen in almost twenty years. This crew is
fantastic. The people across the campus are as nice
as they can be."
Moore's background is highlighted by several
positions held in the ministry and Baptist commu
nity. He has taught religion and philosophy at Chowan
College and Campbell University and has been an
adjunct faculty member of Christian Education at
Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Moore
has also served in various capacities in numerous
churches throughout the southeast.
In an interview, Moore explained that his focus
is to "accommodate the students as much as possible
without compromising our standards." He also ex
pressed a desire to improve two major areas in the
University - counseling and career services.
Moore stated his goal is for Gardner-Webb to
produce "good, solid, well-rounded people."
Moore and his family are presently residing in
Shelby, North Carolina, but hope to relocate to Boil
ing Springs in the near future.
WWAM wants
you!

WWAM!!! Gardner-Webb has been hit by a
brand new club especially for women. WWAM
(Women With A Mission) is the only women's mis
sion organization that has been on campus since
1986.
WWAM was originally envisioned in the mind
of the club's president, Tabby Overstreet, after Cam
pus Minister, Burdette Robinson, suggested the idea
of such a group. The club, in essence, is a college age
extension of GA's and Acteens. Meetings provide a
place in which women can get together to pray, share,
and work as a team in a non-threatening atmosphere.
Amy Jones will be assisting Overstreet this
year with leadership responsibilities, while Ruth
Pace will serve as the advisor for WWAM.
Group members began meeting during the spring
semester of '95 and will continue to meet twice each
month as well as coordinate a special monthly mis
sion project. These projects include visits to the
homeless shelter, nursi ng homes, the children's home,
and the abuse shelter. The group will also be speak
ing to Acteens groups at area churches, encouraging
them to stay active in mission activities.
An average agenda of a WWAM meeting con
sists of greeting and getting to know one another, a
devotion with a missions emphasis, and prayer for
personal requests as well as for missionaries.
The theme for the fall semester will be foreign
missions, while meetings during the spring semester
will focus on home missions.
Sorry guys, but you are out on this one. How
ever, all women interested in being part of this unique
missions group are encouraged to check out WWAM
- Women With A Mission. For further details,
contact Tabby Overstreet.
