Recent graduates just can’t get enough of the Web
by Justin Hutto

Most people have the conception that
college students go far, far away from
their alma mater after graduation.
But several 1997 Gardner-Webb
graduates have proven this assumption
wrong.
Tim Chilton, after receiving his
bachelor's degree in History at GWU, has
returned as an admissions counselor. He
is currently promoting the university at
various high schools and college fairs
throughout Virginia and North Carolina.
Kendra Haneline, known through much
of her college career as Kendra Kirby,
was employed as Secretary to the
President after receiving a bachelor's
degree in Business Administration.
Haneline sees her job as a learning
experience: "I came back because I
wanted to stay with the university and
see how Gardner-Webb really works."
Michael Mustian, graduate of the
Religious Studies Department, has
become Michael J. Mustian, Assistant to
the President, and student at Gardner-
Webb's School of Divinity. He sees his
employment at GWU as a great
opportunity, not only for himself, but for
his fellow students.
"I want to be a resource for the
students," said Mustian. "I want to help.
That's what we (the administration) are
here for."
Mark Raub, Executive Director of the
Bulldog Club, graduated in August, 1997,
with master's degree in Physical
Education. He is the first full-time
director the Bulldog Club has ever had.
The Bulldog Club is the official athletic
fund-raising organization of Gardner-
Webb.
Raub says he decided to work for
Gardner-Webb because of spiritual and
emotional reasons. "I really believe in
their (Gardner-Webb's) philosophy and
mission," he said.
Darlene Broadhurst graduated from
GWU with a major in Business
Administration and is now Director of
the Annual Fund, a major fund-raising
force for the university.

John Templeton, Jr. (far left) and Lamar Alexander (far right) present Dr. Frank Bonner and Dr.
Chris White with the Templeton Honor Roll award. Representatives from the university traveled
to Washington, D.C., on Sept. 24 to receive the award.
GWU representatives traveled to
Washington, D.C., two weeks ago to
receive recognition for being named to
the Templeton Foundation's Honor Roll
for Character-Building Colleges and
Universities.
On Sept. 24, John Templeton, Jr,
president of the foundation, and Lamar
Alexander, former tJ.S. secretary of
education, presented the award to
President Chris White and Provost Dr.
Frank Bonner.
"We are pleased to name Gardner-
Webb University to our Honor Roll
because of demonstrated efforts to
develop habits of heart, mind and spirit
that help students know, love and do
good," 'Templeton said.
Thousands of colleges and universities
submitted essays in hopes of receiving
this honor; however, only 135 schools
were named to the Honor Roll.

Applying colleges and universities are
judged on whether its institution
encourages moral reasoning skills and
spiritual growth, provides community-
building experiences, encourages a drug-
free lifestyle and has character-building
programs and activities, according to our
website at www.gardner-webb.edu.
It is such an honor for Gardner-Webb
to receive this award because it is "very
selective," President White said.
All the colleges and universities chosen
are listed in a book that will be given to
"public libraries, high schools, and to
interested parents and prospective
students," according to the website.
The Templeton Foundation is a
national organization, making it a
"highly-respected foundation," said
President White.
"For a national foundation to certify
that we actually do what we-say is a
major commendation," he said.
Not only is Gardner-Webb included
in the book, but the university is also
pictured on the front cover.
