Builder Fest is slated for Saturday, Sept. 13, and head football coach Ken Crandall and his planning committee have filled the event with food, football, and fun.

Crandall is suggesting that fans bring non-perishable food items to support the Winfield Food Pantry.  A pyramid of canned goods will be constructed through out the evening before being delivered. Requested items include canned fruits and vegetables, peanut butter, jelly, macaroni and cheese, pasta, rice, and oatmeal.

“We are hoping to bring the community and the campus together,” Crandall says.  “The youth football game will initiate Builder Fest and our game will conclude it.”

Builder Fest events include:

• At 3 p.m., the Winfield sixth grade football team will play Rose Hill inside Sonner Stadium.
• At 5 p.m., on the south end of Sonner Stadium, games, salsa contest, and musical entertainment will begin.
• Southwestern College food service will be serving hamburgers or hot dogs with potato chips and a drink for $3.  Snow cones will also be on sale.
• At 7 p.m., the Southwestern College football team will battle the University of Saint Mary in the KCAC opener for both teams.

Just before the Moundbuilders take the field, Crandall is inviting all fans to form a “Builder Canal” at the south end of Sonner Stadium.  The SC football team will run through the canal as they enter the field.

The game also is Cowley Appreciation Night, and admission to the SC-Saint Mary game is free for all Cowley County residents and Southwestern College students.

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a college preparatory program for middle school and high school students who are in the academic middle, but with support can be successful in a more rigorous curriculum.  The AVID tutor is trained to facilitate group tutorials which are Socratic-based, designed to accelerate, not remediate.  The tutorials occur twice weekly in every AVID classroom in most of the Wichita public middle schools and high schools.  Tutors become employees of USD 259 and receive approximately $12 hourly with paid training.  The position is part-time and schedules are flexible to accommodate college life.  A valid driver’s license, a social security card, and a complete health form are required.  

The annual meeting, The Global Imperative: Educating and Assessing the Whole Child, Teachers and Community will attract thousands of teacher educators and other professors from across the United States.

Their presentation is in the Fitness and Health strand and is entitled, Collaborating to Institute a Student Health and Wellness Course Requirement at the Post-Secondary Level. The PESS 205 course has a collaborated curriculum among teacher education, nursing, physical education and philosophy and religion, and the course is co-taught by faculty from each area. The rich curriculum in the course and the innovative approaches to teaching it among seven faculty members contribute to the reasons for obtaining national recognition.

Specifically, Dr. Green wrote, "In response to the perceived need to proactively address fitness and health issues of a student population at the post-secondary level, a collaborative effort was undertaken by a cross-disciplinary team of faculty to spearhead an initiative that would ultimately establish a health and wellness course as an integral component of the institution's general education program.  The process entailed in this venture encompassed a multi-year time span, progressing from proposing the inclusion of a health and wellness course requirement as a key element of the general education coursework, to obtaining faculty approval of the revised curriculum plan, through the development and subsequent implementation of the new course."

The course will be offered for the first time this fall semester enabling students to learn "...a holistic approach to mind and body interactions to facilitate students' awareness of both the immediate and long-term impact of health and physical activity on individual and social wellness" (Green, 2008).

Although several steps need be accomplished before graduation, Daniel is officially ABD!  This Fall will constitute 11 years of collegiate study.

Also, Daniel came home just in time to welcome his new baby boy, Issac Nathan, on July 9th.  He weighed in at 7 lbs, was 19 in. long, and likes to sleep during the day.  Although mom and dad (and sister Hannah) get sleepless nights, they feel blessed to have this addition to the family.

This fall a group of 13 students in their third year of Discipleship Southwestern has an opportunity to put into practice some of what they’ve learned throughout their time as members of the service-learning program, Discipleship Southwestern.

Students have spent the first two years learning what their gifts are and what they are passionate about, as well as taking individual steps to grow in their faith.

Late last spring it was their turn to step up into the leadership of the team of about 55 students, serving in roles such as Chair of the Missions committee, Mentoring Liaison, and Team Administration.

“I’m the Director of the program, but the students really run it,” said Rev. Ashlee Alley who has served in her role since 2005.  “It’s exciting to see them come in as freshmen, learn more about themselves, about God, and how to live in Christian community.  By the time that they are in the third year of the program, they are in a position where they get to serve the others in a formal capacity.  Some of the ways they serve are in up-front ways, such as planning the monthly service projects or annual mission trip while others are more behind the scenes, like maintaining the website or sending out a weekly newsletter.”

The students this year are from all over Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Singapore and Indonesia.

The purpose of Discipleship Southwestern is to make informed, transformed, equipped and healthy disciples of Jesus at home, at work, at church, and in the world. 

I spoke with the chairs of the campus sustainability committees for each institution and was given an assessment on how well the schools are meeting the benchmarks of the climate challenge. They shared with me ideas on how they are developing a comprehensive inventory of the greenhouse gases generated by their campuses and ways they have mobilized their campuses to collectively take on this climate challenge.

I hope to maintain contact with these people and take advantage of their knowledge and experience as Southwester College develops its own approach to the challenge. -- Dr. Rick Cowlishaw
