Gheens grant supports tech connection, CU to Simmons College Grant will allow Campbellsville University main campus and Simmons College of Kentucky, 1018 S 7th ST, Louisville, KY (MAP) to add 'CU 360' teleconferencing center at the Louisville partner school Click on headline for full story plus photo(s) By Linda Waggener News from Campbellsville University "This is exactly the type of project that The Gheens Foundation likes to approve," said Carl M. Thomas, executive director of the foundation, at the Tuesday, February 22, 2011, check presentation in the historic Steward Hall Heritage Room of Simmons College of Kentucky in west Louisville, KY. The Gheens Foundation grant to Campbellsville University will provide for placement of the new "CU 360" system on the Simmons College campus. Dr. Michael V. Carter, president of Campbellsville University, and Dr. Kevin Cosby, president of Simmons College of Kentucky, received a check from The Gheens Foundation in the amount of $20,000 to install a teleconferencing center on the Simmons campus. Thomas said he knew the late C. Edwin and Mary Jo Gheens would be smiling down on the group assembled there because of their deep Baptist roots and dedication to education. The new initiative grows out of the historic covenant partnership agreement signed by Carter and Cosby nearly five years ago. Carter said, "We are very grateful for the opportunity The Gheens Foundations has afforded our two schools for this idea whose time has come, reaching multiple sites in a split second. It is a very exciting day as we further our partnership." He said the two institutions, one rural and one urban, have accomplished much and still have much to do as the relationship continues to build. Cosby said, "Because of this gift from The Gheens Foundation and because of the partnership with Campbellsville University, this technology will allow us to reach the underserved in west Louisville. I strongly believe the answer to the woes in the black community is education. Racism may slow you down but the absence of education will knock you out." Cosby said, "Dr. Michael Carter has become a model for me of what a leader of higher education should be. Because of Campbellsville University's outreach, this move will help solve the problem of social isolation." Campbellsville University and Simmons College faculty, staff and students will use the "CU 360" technology. A CU faculty member may sign in on the main Campbellsville campus to teach a course with students at Simmons and other sites linked into the class instantaneously and have complete ability by all involved to interact and participate. The teleconferencing capability provides both institutions with the ability to participate and interact with groups at any similar site across the nation and world. Campbellsville University, Campbellsville, KY, has over 3,000 students and offers 63 undergraduate programs, 17 master's degrees and five postgraduate areas.
