Grace College, Winona Lake, INAugust 17, 2012Volume 59, Issue No. 1

Something’s different about Grace College this year. The Cooley Science Center parking lot strongly resembles a construc-tion site as a new residence hall is being built. Alpha Dining Com-mons suddenly seems almost doubled in size after renovations removed a few walls. And a group of Grace females are moving in to the Grace Village Retirement Community.

All these changes are thanks to the preparations Grace is mak-ing to welcome a record number of incoming freshman to campus. While the actual number fluctu-ates daily, around 417 students are registered to join the Grace family this fall.

But it’s not just the number that sets this group of incoming freshmen, transfers and re-admit-ted students apart. While histori-cally many Grace students come from towns near campus, this class is broader geographically —especially among students hail-ing from Indiana. In addition to this diversity, Dr. Jim Swanson, Vice President of Student and Academic Services, describes this class as “strong academical-ly.” The average ACT score for these freshmen is 24, the average GPA is 3.50 and the average SAT score is 1059. These are slightly improved from last year.

Why the sudden spike in en-rollment? While it’s impossible to know the exact reason, Dr. Swanson suggests it can be at-tributed to three factors, the first of which is cost.

Ashley BrewsterEditor-in-Chief

“While we’re a four-year col-lege, we do offer a three-year pro-gram, which is very attractive to students,” he says. For parents, the appeal lies in Grace’s ability to hold tuition down through various means, including free summer classes.

Another factor is the Admissions Depart-ment, which Dr. S w a n s o n describes as “fan-tastic.”

“It’s a machine,” he says. “There’s a system to recruiting stu-dents.” Dr. Swanson calls the Ad-missions Department positive and welcoming, saying they are “respon-sive” and “fun to talk to.”

“They’re a strong team,” he says.

The final dynamic driving this year’s increase is our institution’s improvement in marketing. Dr. Swanson says that our “state of the art” quality is appealing to today’s students, and for a school, excel-lence in marketing suggests excel-lence in everything.

Of course, the universal question is: Where exactly are all these new students going to live? Grace Col-lege remains committed to main-taining a close-knit residential hous-ing philosophy, so there won’t be any change in policy to move more students off-campus — so far.

s t u -dents. Year after year

they’ve come. For seven-ty-five years Grace has wel-comed new students. They have blessed us. Welcome, entering class of 2012! De-lighted you are here. Your life is a story. You’ve been writing it. We’re anxious to learn about your story. The important people in your

life. Things you really en-

joy. Gifts you have. Your successes and

challenges. Places you’ve been. Music you like. Your friends. Valuable lessons learned. Challenges you faced and overcame. Ques-tions you wonder about. New things you want to try and learn. Service to oth-ers. We have a lot to learn about your story!

Of course, Grace has a story. On our 75th

anniversary we’ve been reading and learning a lot about this story. History of campus buildings. Impor-tant events. Faculty who’ve taught here. Alumni scat-tered far and wide. Alumni stories. Institutional victo-ries and challenges. Music students used to listen to. How people dressed. Teams we beat. Close games we

lost. Past editions of the Sounding Board. Pranks. Tough decisions made. Les-sons learned from students and alumni. Our review of the Grace story reminds us how great it is to be around students. A future book will tell about the Grace story.

We want you to learn about the Grace story. God has been with us. Though we fail, He doesn’t. Many people learned to trust

God’s leadership. We’re also learning. Grace is com-mitted to core values that shape our campus experi-ence. We aspire to achieve each value. Sometimes we achieve quite well; some-times we fail. Failures re-mind us to keep pursuing these values. Here’s the list.

College Story

What is a “sounding board”?We’re familiar with common newspaper

names. The “Fill-in-the-Blank Enquirer.” The “Random-City Times.” The “Something-Something Post.” But a sounding board — that’s something else entirely.

Dictionaries are helpful things. According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, a sounding board is de-fined as “A person or group whose reactions to an idea, opinion, or point of view serve as a measure of its effectiveness or acceptability.”

In each of our lives, we all have sound-ing boards. Whether it’s a roommate, a best friend, a parent or a sibling, we all can im-mediately think of that one person in our lives that isn’t afraid to unhesitatingly tell us “That’s stupid!” when we run an idea by him or her. We need this person in our lives: the individual who will listen to our wildest ideas . . . and then be brutally honest about them. We trust him enough to put our reputation and any appearance of sanity on the line before attempting to turn our dreams and ideas into reality.

Maybe I’m the exception to the rule, but I love brainstorming sessions. When brain-storming, no idea is too crazy, and everyone works together in frantic harmony, blurting out the first inklings and half-formed con-cepts that come to their minds. Not only does brainstorming offer great fun and a fantastic insight into the absurd labyrinths that are your fellow brainstormers’ minds, but it is often marvelously effective. And what are these brainstorming sessions if not one big happy sounding board?

My dream this year for our paper, The Sounding Board, is for it to be a sort of year-long brainstorming session. We Gracies have a unique chance, thanks to our smaller cam-pus community, to connect with and encour-age one another. The Sounding Board is the perfect opportunity to do just that.

Get involved! Write a column, submit a photo or send in a letter to the editor. Your thoughts, opinions and ideas are important, and with your contributions, this paper re-ally can be the ideal “sounding board” for this campus. As your new Editor-in-Chief, I’m ex-cited to watch The Sounding Board become a tool for this campus and live up to its name.

As in the life of every Christian believer, my life has been marked by God’s grace, par-ticularly since I have been a student here at Grace College. I grew up loving and playing basketball in Huntington, Indiana, on a sheep farm. (Here’s a shout out to any former 4-Hers out there.) Although I was raised by a Christian family, I never had any desire to make Jesus the Lord of the life He had given me. Due to my cold, hardened heart, I entered a ravaging lifestyle of sin.

When I made the decision to attend Grace College, my only desire was to play basket-ball. Upon entering my freshman year, God placed me in Indy 220 with Dayton Merrell, Josh Arnold and Taylor Long, with Justin Ev-ans being a frequent member as well. During those first several months, my heart underwent a deep battle between my desire to please my-self and the love of God that I saw through my roommates.

But before that battle had even begun, God had already won the war in my heart. My eyes were opened for the first time and I saw Jesus Christ high, and lifted up for all of my sin. By his grace, I was able to repent and believe in the gospel.

Over the next three years, God placed dis-cipleship and leadership in my life that brought me closer to Him. I am deeply humbled that I have been asked to be your student body chap-lain this year. I am lowly sinner who has been changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ. My heart’s desire is to use this position to serve my fellow classmates in pointing us all to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

My prayer for this 2012-13 academic year is that lost classmates would be saved and that believing classmates’ hearts and minds be ad-ditionally sanctified by the love of Christ as we engage with His Word to realize the freedom that is found in him alone. I am only a weak man and have nothing to boast of but Christ alone, so I echo Paul’s words in 1 Corinthi-ans 2:2. When I took this position, I decided to know nothing among us as the Grace College body except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

I am stoked to journey with you all this school year and to see what our sovereign God has in store for us. Fellow Gracies, may Christ be our vision and to him be all the power, hon-or and glory forever and ever.

“Housing this year is tight — but it’s great to be full,” says Dr. Swan-son. Grace has reached creative solutions to the housing problem, ob-taining more off-campus houses, moving students into Grace Village and even tripling rooms in Al-pha and Beta. The most notable solution, how-ever, is the construction of the as yet unnamed dorm, the first newly built residence hall since Gamma Townhouse.

While accommodat-ing so many students on campus may seem diffi-

cult, Dr. Swanson insists it has meant an improve-ment of services, includ-ing food, registration and classes.

“So far we’re han-dling it really well,” he says.

So will this become the norm for Grace Col-lege? Will enrollment continue to climb every year?

“We can do this every year,” says Dr. Swanson, referring to this year’s number of incoming stu-dents. He doesn’t believe there will be a cause for another increase in en-

rollment in upcoming years. “Christian higher education is getting more and more competitive, and there are only so many students who are 18.” While the Admis-sions Office will contin-ue to set higher goals for themselves, Dr. Swanson affirms that to be able to sustain this year’s num-bers would be “excel-lent.”

“This is an efficient and exciting number for us,” he says.

Wow! We’re all back at Grace already? Seems like just yesterday we were all look-ing forward to summer break, but here we are about to embark on a new school year. First off, I want to thank you for the opportu-nity to serve as your Student Body President this year. (I know it was tough deciding who to vote for.) All kidding aside though, I am honored to be able to serve in this unique po-sition.

Serving in Student Senate as a class rep-resentative for the past two years has been a great learning experience. This new position, however, offers a whole new set of responsi-bilities that range from leading Senate meet-ings to meeting with various people on cam-pus. I must also be available to serve you, the student body, in any way I can. Balancing athletic, academic and administrative obliga-tions will probably get tricky at times, but I can assure you I will do my best.

Grace is growing at a rate that many col-leges dream about, but rarely expect to oc-cur so suddenly. This surge in enrollment is accompanied by new pressures and oppor-tunities. We are in the process of building a new dorm to help accommodate our growth in enrollment and we’ve added several new perimeter houses. I can assure you that main-taining our community’s family atmosphere remains a key priority for us, since our friendly campus plays an enormous role in shaping the Grace College experience.

Another focus of Student Senate this year is becoming accessible to the student body. We want you to be aware of what we’re do-ing whether that is hosting events or creating campus-wide proposals. This includes mak-ing it clear to you that your input is incredibly important as Grace College moves forward.

Fortunately, I have the great blessing of working alongside Aaron Crabtree, Lindsey Tomer and Jake McCarthy, who all make vi-tal contributions to your student government. I’m looking forward to a great year for Grace College and seeing all the exciting changes and growth that our future holds.

While I expected to learn a lot in-tellectually and spiritually at Grace, learning about myself was not one of my expectations when I entered three years ago. Maybe this is why some of the lessons that stand out most are ones of self-discovery. In the past three years, I have learned that I can actually like broccoli, it’s possible to function on less sleep than I ever thought possible and that much of my Christian service was extremely selfish.

This last discovery shook me to my core. I realized as a freshman that instead of serving selflessly, I sometimes serve others to make myself feel good. SERVE is the hub of student ministries at Grace Col-lege and this organization gives stu-dents opportunities to serve others throughout their time here. As the SERVE Director this school year, I recognize that service is significant,

but that I often approach it wrong-ly.

It is important that Christians serve, but our reasons for serving also matter. This year’s theme is “Free.” One way we live out our freedom is through wholehearted service. Instead of being motivated by guilt, in Christ we recognize that we have already been made righ-teous and we cannot earn God’s fa-vor through service.

True service is motivated by grateful hearts, transformed by Christ’s sacrifice. Though we are often apathetic by nature, Christ’s Spirit fills us with a desire to serve God by serving His people. Chris-tians serve, not because we have to or because we ought to in order to be good people, but because we have been deeply blessed by a gen-erous God.

This is where SERVE aims to

step in. Through SERVE Teams, we offer many opportunities that serve Winona Lake and Warsaw commu-nities in various ways. Addition-ally, this year, SERVE would like to introduce short-term “response teams” that meet specific, practical, and even urgent needs in the com-munity. Look out for other chances to serve throughout the year, includ-ing opportunities for all of campus to unite for days of service. All year, students can bring us their passions, interests and the needs that they see in the community.

Interested in a SERVE Team? See a need in the community? SERVE’s Involvement Fair is held Monday, August 20th, in Indy Cir-cle from 9:00-11:00 PM. This event offers the opportunity for students to learn about teams that already ex-ist. Students can also connect with me and the SERVE officers at this

event and discuss creating their own SERVE Team. Email serve@grace.edu with any questions or ideas.

I’m a somewhat intro-verted guy from a little-known town called Hol-lywood… Hollywood, Maryland, that is. I be-came a Christian sometime around fourth grade and

have been following the Lord ever since. I’m the oldest brother in a fam-ily of six with a happily married mom and dad, a beautiful younger sister, and two punching bags … I mean, fun younger brothers. In short, I’m ex-tremely blessed.

This year marks my junior year here at Grace. I study the Bible under some great teachers like Dr. Rata, Dr. Harmon, and

all of the others in the Bib-lical Studies department. So far my experience at Grace has been a blast! I’ve met a ton of friends amongst “the bros,” made a lot of life-long memories, and I’ve

learned a whole lot along the way too.

This year is my first year as Grace College’s new chapel band leader, though it’s not the first time I’ve ever led worship. In the past, I’ve led worship for my church back home, my high school’s chapel band, and even for some folks out in Serbia when I was on a mission trip once. Needless to say, leading worship has been a major part of my life and still is.

This year in chapel we’ll be singing a lot of hymns, a lot of “worship throwbacks” so to speak, and even some new contemporary worship songs much like we’ve sung

in past years. But my goal as a worship leader reaches far beyond just the music.

My goal this year is not to please everybody. In fact, people-pleasing has shown itself to be one of the great-est hindrances in my life. As a worship leader and as a Christian, I should want to be able to say with Paul that “I am not trying to please men but God.” He is the reason I do what I do.

Instead, my goal is to know that there was some-one other than me singing their heart out to the Lord. I want to hear people say, “I love the Lord. He is so good! I want to live for Him. I want to continue my

worship when I go to class, when I go to work, when I go home. I want to take the good news of the gos-pel that we sing about and let others know the truth. I want to see people come to Christ for the first time.” Or “I can’t wait to see the Lord Jesus in heaven someday. I can’t wait to finally behold His glory.”

● Relationship with the God of Scripture is founda-tional to all of life

● Exceptional learning experiences drive all educa-tional programs

● Nurturing the transfor-mation of life is deeply inte-grated in all institutional life

● Appreciating and valu-ing others as God does char-acterizes all relationships

● Doing good for others is the intended outcome of in-stitutional life and service

● Managing institutional and constituents’ resources in a disciplined biblical way is essential to institutional life

I know this is a lot to di-gest! Not to worry. We’ll

have time to talk and think more about these values.

Just a comment about the first value: God is writing His grand, all-encompass-ing story, beginning to end. All His. God wants to write His story through your life, my life. An exciting journey for us. Sometimes so won-derful. Sometimes really challenging. But all good for us. Learning about God. Learning from God. Learn-ing to trust Him with our life. Learning more. Trusting more. Being part of God’s story.

IF YOU’RE INTERESTED, PLEASE RESPOND TO SAUDERPG@GRACE.EDUREMINDER: YOU’LL NEED A PASSPORT TO CROSS THE BORDER.

I was born and raised in Colombia, South America. When I moved to the United States, I had a number of people ask me quite inter-esting questions about life in Colombia: Did we have cars? Did we live in trees? (No, I am not kidding.) Was my uncle Pablo Escobar? One day, though, a man asked me a disarming question:

“Is Colombia a free country?” I was not prepared to answer that question

because I didn’t quite know what he meant. I assume now that he had the First Amendment of the Constitution as the backdrop to his question. Perhaps he was really asking wheth-er Colombians enjoyed freedom of religion, speech and assembly. However, as a teenager, that is not what I understood by “freedom.” I thought of “freedom” as the ability to go out and play soccer as often as possible, or having the opportunity to spend my time with family and friends.

Freedom evokes a host of ideas in people’s minds. Freedom, likewise, is a central theme in Scripture, and therefore, evokes a host of ideas among Christians.

Our college theme for this year is “Free,” taken from Galatians 5:1, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” This verse addresses two key ideas of Christian freedom. First, there is a reminder that freedom is something Christ has already given Christians. Part of the spiritual reality believers inherit through salvation is the state of being free: Freedom from condemnation (Rom 8:1), freedom from accusation (Col 1:22) and freedom from sin (Rom 6:18), to list just a few.

Second, this verse emphasizes that while freedom is a matter of fact, it also needs to be continually worked out in life. No sooner has Paul reminded the Galatians about their freedom in Christ than he turns around and gives two commands. True Christian free-dom is not an absence of boundaries but an invitation to live within God-designed pa-rameters. In other words, the freedom we already have in Christ must become our way of life. In one sense, we are already free; in another sense, we have to choose to live out that freedom. Because of what Christ has done for us, then, we are free to choose free-dom.

I invite you this year to explore the rich-ness of the freedom for which Christ has set us free!

Grace’s women’s soccer team is no longer a secret. The Lady Lancers have made a name for themselves in the national soccer scene with re-cent success and are poised to continue their win-ning ways in 2012.

One of Grace’s strengths this season is its depth and experience. The Lady Lancers return 10 of their 11 starters, including captains Jocelyn Evans and Carmen Barnhill. Evans, a senior, is the reigning Midfielder of the Year for the Cross-roads League after recording five goals and 10 assists in 2011, and junior Barnhill returns as one of Grace’s two goalkeeping options just one year after earning First Team NCCAA All-American status.

Several other returning players figure to play a major part in Grace’s attack, including: Kristin Yocum (4 goals), Holly Bennett (8 goals, 7 as-sists), Kelsey Christner (4 goals, 5 assists) and Kaitlan Wiles (5 goals, 6 assists).

Defensively, junior Jalisa Thayer and soph-omores Liz Casey, Jessica Bickle and Lauren Becker return to a defensive unit that recorded eight shutouts in 2011. Grace’s depth will also benefit from returning several players to full health, including Emily Hickerson, Jackie Seal, Ryann Casciari and Abigail Burns.

“I think returning 10 starting players is a new dimension for us,” sixth-year head coach Mi-chael Voss commented. “We have returning play-ers who have reached a fantastic level of unity together and have made that a standard. I really believe in this core to hit the ground running. And once we get our freshmen up to speed, it will be just that much better.”

Voss has brought in a number of ac-complished freshmen to battle for start-ing spots, including Mallory Rondeau (Wawasee HS), Darcy Johnston (Roch-ester, Mich.), Carianne Sobey (Wood-stock, Ill.), Faith Voehringer (Covenant Christian HS), Erica Manchess (Pend-leton HS), Rachel Elsner (Lititz, Pa.) and Heather Martin (Bremen HS).

“I’m super excited to have this crew together at last this year,” Voss continued. “The personnel believe in this system and in preaching Christ through soccer. I’m excited to wind this team up and let them go. I don’t know what their limita-tions are, but it will be a rocket ride to the moon trying to find them. I am totally stoked to be piloting this group.”

Grace’s schedule includes a number of teams that finished ranked in the NAIA’s Top 25. They also welcome the Haiti Women’s National Team to Miller Field for a must-see exhibition game on Aug. 25.

The Grace men’s soccer team achieved its finest season in recent memory during the 2011 season. The Lancers posted their first win-ning season (11-9-4) since 2003 and earned a trip to the NCCAA Nation-al Championships for the first time since 2002.

Head coach Matt Hotchkin is hoping his team can build on last year’s success to compete for a title in the Crossroads League in 2012.

The Lancers fielded a young roster last year as two underclass-men (Austin Altimus, Shane Bar-thuly) led the team in scoring with 10 goals apiece. The majority of Grace’s starters return in 2012 and, along with several key role players,

have bonded into what Hotchkin has called “the closest team we’ve had since I’ve been here at Grace.”

“Last year we were young. We had just enough leadership, but most people saw how young we were when we started five freshmen consistently,” Hotchkin said. “This year is the first team where I feel like everybody knows everyone else really well. If we field a team who understands how to work together, then I do think we can compete for a league title.”

Grace’s midfield returns a num-ber of players in sophomores Trent Smith, Gift Sibukome and Nikola Blazic and junior Devin Kemmer-er. Sibukome (Zambia) and Blazic

(Serbia) are both foreign-born play-ers who have improved greatly after being in the US for an entire year.

“[Sibukome and Blazic] went through culture shock last year, which affected how they played. At the end of the year, we really felt the benefit of their play,” Hotchkin commented. “I think now they are fully adjusted, and we’ll continue to see better things out of both of those guys.”

Grace’s recruiting class has high expectations as well with a versatile array of players. All-State perform-ers Steven Fiema (Detroit, Mich.) and Kyle Hamlin (Tipp City, Ohio) should bring an immediate impact to Grace’s attack, and Chris Bou-

dreau (Highlands Ranch, Colo.), Ben Draper (Detroit, Mich.), Justin Festa (Quakertown, Pa.) and Bryce Glock (Winona Lake, Ind.) will challenge for a spot in the rotation as well.

“We’ve seen a lot of improve-ment over the past four years, and we’re thankful for every single person that comes out and shows excitement for what we’re doing,” Hotchkin continued. “We want to be an entertaining team that honors Grace College and the Lord in the way we play.”

The Lancers kick off the season with a four-game home stand, start-ing with the season opener against Bluefield College on Aug. 18.
