President Carter addresses Campbellsville/Taylor Co. Chamber Among achievements of university he cites are the institution's $90 million impact, annually, on local economy, an enrollment of over 3,000, the opening of the colleges Brockman Center in Hodgenville, KY, and the university's "Vision 2025" blueprint for the next 15 years By Ashley Zsedenyi, CU staff writer CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Campbellsville University is continuing to "provide leadership opportunities for students to graduate," according to Dr. Michael V. Carter, president. "We are a private institution with a public purpose," Carter said at the Campbellsville/Taylor County Chamber Luncheon recently. Carter said Campbellsville University is a "vital part of Campbellsville/Taylor County and surrounding areas," and that the mission statement of CU is "something to be proud of." He shared an update on CU, including the recent U.S.News & World Report's rankings and an update on CU's regional sites. Carter said CU now offers 44 programs at the baccalaureate level, 15 master's degrees and four post graduate areas. Carter also mentioned the results of a recent economic impact study that showed more than $90 million goes through Taylor County because of Campbellsville University. The study also showed more than 1,400 jobs are supported by CU operations, and the city and nearly $1 million in local tax revenues were generated. He said the Technology Training Center has benefited the community as well, and offers various training and certificate programs. Highlights from the fall 2009 semester included: enrollment exceeding 3,000 students; the dedication and ribbon cutting of the new School of Education building; initiation of the Kappa Delta Pi honor society; the naming of the Badgett Academic Support Center and Shely Science Center in honor of two long-term trustees Dr. J. Chester Badgett and Dr. Forest Shely. The dedication of the Brockman Center in Hodgenville; the successful first season of CU bowling teams; a Fighting Tiger Football win over Georgetown College - the first since 1997; the Tiger basketball team taking on the UK Wildcats at Rupp Arena; and a first-ever national title with the Lady Tiger volleyball team capturing the NCCAA Division 1 National Championship. To keep CU moving forward, Carter introduced "Vision 2025 - Preparing Christian Servant Leaders" which is a blueprint for the next 15 years designed to make Campbellsville University a premier Christian university in America. Representatives from Fort Knox Federal Credit Union were on hand to present CU with a donation of $2,000 for academic programs, as well as six male and six female bicycles for international students at CU. CU Sound, a female singing group, provided musical entertainment for the event. This story was posted on 2010-01-14 12:45:43 Click Here for a printable version of the article.
