Photos with this article: 6: President Luckey, Begley Scholars, Dr. Phelps, Bishop King, Dr. Greg Phelps, Dr. Wendy Benningfield By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson College has already exceeded the goal of its $33 million "Changing Lives Campaign," President William T. Luckey Jr. announced at the April 27, 2006 Founders' Day. With 14 months to go in the college's campaign, a total of $33,044,763 has already been raised, Luckey reported. "This is so remarkable," Luckey told almost 400 guests at the college's annual Founders' Day Dinner. "When we began work on this campaign more than five years ago, consultants told us that it would be a stretch for us to try to raise $10-12 million." Centerpiece of campaign is $9 million, 42,000-square-foot science center The campaign's centerpiece is a $9 million 42,000-square-foot science center, which will be open for the 2006-07 school year. The campaign's other goals are: a new learning center; transform the college's current science building into a multi-use classroom building; add $15 million to the Lindsey Wilson Endowment; and raise $3.5 million for the Lindsey Wilson Fund. The campaign, which was announced in April 2004, runs through June 30, 2007. Although the campaign has already exceeded its goal with more than a year remaining, Luckey cautioned against being complacent. "Our work is not yet done," he said. "We may have exceeded the campaign's overall goal, but there are still needs that need to be met on campus." Because of earmarked donations, money still needed for learning center For example, because most of the campaign's donors have earmarked their commitments, money still needs to be raised for a learning center, which will cost about $2.5 million. "There are still projects that we want to get done, that we must get done," Luckey said. "Still, it says so much about the people who support this college that we have already exceeded our goal with more than a year remaining."In his Founders' Day keynote address, the Rev. James R. King, Jr., bishop of The United Methodist Church in Kentucky, praised Lindsey Wilson for its success. "I think this is one of the finest colleges I have ever known. And I am so grateful to be associated with this institution and its mission," he said. King urged the college's supporters to "use your moment." "This is your moment," he said. "You are part of God's divine plan, you are no accident. And God wants you to use this moment in time and space, to take what God has given you and give it back to God for the glory of God. ... That is your reason for being here. "The purpose of kingdom building is to take what has been given to you and multiply it and grow it and increase it." Honors Convocation honors Professors Dr. Wendy Benningfield and Dr. Greg A. Phelps and students Justin Whitney, four new Begley Scholars Also on Thursday, at the annual Honors Convocation, the college honored two faculty members, named its top senior and welcomed four more students into the Begley Scholars program.Assistant Professor of History Wendy Benningfield was named 2005-06 Teacher of the Year by the Lindsey Wilson Student Government Association, and Associate Professor of Communication Greg A. Phelps was recognized by the General Board of Higher Education & Ministry of The United Methodist Church and the Lindsey Wilson faculty with the 2005-06 Exemplary Teaching Award. Senior Justin Whitney, a biology major from Belton, Ky., received the President's Award, which is presented to the outstanding graduate of the senior class. And four new students were named to the Begley Scholars program. Clinton Lister, a mathematics education sophomore from Iowa, was the returning student selected to the program. And three incoming freshman were also named: Megan Harris and Amanda Johnson, both of Morganfield, Ky., and seniors at Union County High School; and Laura Smith of Glasgow, Ky., who is a senior at Barren County High School.
