The Doak House Museum hosted more than 620  elementary school students for its annual “Lessons From the Lawn” educational program on May 1.

Students from the Greene County, Jefferson County, Johnson City and Washington County school systems spent the day at the museum on the Tusculum College campus learning about many aspects of agrarian life.

The day began with the disking of the garden behind the Doak House by two Percheron work horses, Duke and Daisy. They were handled by Brett Sivert, a 2005 graduate of Tusculum College. The Doak House was the 19th century home of the Rev. Samuel Witherspoon Doak, co-founder of Tusculum College, and his family.

The youngsters then visited 23 learning stations on the grounds. At the stations, the students learned about beekeeping, raising sheep and goats, making candles and growing herbs.

The hands-on activities included planting corn and marigolds in the freshly plowed garden, making paper woven butterflies, storybook reading, spotted cow art, planting flowers to take home, cleaning and carding wool and decorating cookies.

The students also were told stories by professional storyteller Linda Poland and toured the springhouse on the grounds. In celebration of May Day, the students did a traditional dance around a May pole.

Among the organizations and individuals helping with the learning stations were the Hands On! Museum, Brett Sivert, Ed Bowman with sheep, Walter and Judy Shelton with goats, Eastside Garden Club, and Maria Jenkins of the Washington County Beekeepers Association. Helping the Museums of Tusculum College with the event were a number of volunteers. The museums also received the assistance of Fatz Cafe, Ingles, Sodexho, and faculty and staff from the Tusculum College Departments of Athletics, English and Science as well as the college’s Office of the Provost and the Center for Civic Advancement.

The Doak House Museum and the President Andrew Johnson Museum and Library are administered by the Tusculum College Department of Museum Program and Studies under the direction of George Collins, director of Museum Program and Studies, and Cindy Lucas, associate director of the department and director of the Doak House Museum. The department also offers one of the few undergraduate degree programs in museum studies in the country.

The Doak House Museum, the 19th century home of the Rev. Samuel Witherspoon Doak, co-founder of Tusculum College, hosted more than 10,000 school children from East Tennessee last year for a variety of educational programs related to the 19th century and CHARACTER COUNTS!  The Andrew Johnson Museum, located in the oldest academic building on campus, houses a collection of books, papers and memorabilia of the 17th president of the United States.  The museum also houses the Charles Coffin Collection from the original college library and the College archives containing documents related to the history of Tusculum.  The museums are also two of the 10 structures on the Tusculum campus on the National Register of Historic Places.

Dr. Russell L. Nichols who has served as interim president of Tusculum College since August 2007, was pleasantly surprised as he was honored on Friday, May 15, at Tusculum College’s annual President’s Dinner, with the announcement that an endowed scholarship had been established on his behalf.

The scholarship will be designated for international travel and studies, a program Dr. Nichols has nurtured and supported during his time at the College.

“Dr. Russell L. Nichols has served as a steady hand in a time of transition for the College,” said Chairman of the Tusculum College Board of Trustees Dr. Ken Bowman. “His efforts and leadership have gone a long way in unifying the College. His calming, supporting and contributing nature has provided a contagious sense of optimism about the future of Tusculum College, at a time when it needed it most. ”

Bowman added that Dr. Nichols has been continually engaged with students, staff, faculty and the community, and his leadership has brought together the Tusculum College community in many ways and inspired a sense of collective direction and mission and a sense of optimism that was not here upon his arrival.

“The affection and respect for Dr. Nichols has been evident,” said Bowman. In the past few weeks, Dr. Nichols has been presented by the College faculty with a handmade rocking chair, as well as honored with a portrait from staff and faculty, which will hang in the Thomas J. Garland Library near the Center for Global Studies. A reception was held on campus and more than 150 people turned out with their well wishes for his future. And, he has been honored by the Class of 2009, who dedicated their Senior Gift in his honor - a new concrete walkway from Katherine Hall to Shiloh Road.

“It is with great pleasure that I announce the establishment of an endowed scholarship, named in honor of Dr. Russell L. Nichols, designated for international travel and studies, a program he has been and continues to be very passionate about, in the amount of  $18,590. The College is truly grateful to Dr. Nichols for his generous time and empathetic service and support, as well as his exceptional leadership to Tusculum College during his tenure as interim president.”

Dr. Nichols thanked the group and said that many of the friends he has made while at Tusculum College were some of the best of his life. He encouraged everyone to continue to work together and to appreciate the hard work and dedication that is prevalent among Tusculum College faculty, staff, alumni and friends.

The President’s Dinner is the College’s signature event and is hosted each spring by the Office of Institutional Advancement as a thank-you to the College’s major donors. This year’s event was held at Link Hills Country Club.

Two Distinguished Service Award recipients were honored on May 15 at Tusculum College’s annual President’s Dinner, held at Link Hills Country Club. Honored were Dr. Sam Miller and the late Dr. Don Henard. Henard’s award was presented to his wife, Jean Henard.

The 2009 awards were presented by Tusculum College President Nancy B. Moody. Assisting with the presentations were Marilyn duBrisk, director of the College’s Arts Outreach program, who read the citation presented to Dr. Miller; and Chairman of the Board of Trustees Dr. Ken Bowman, who read the citation presented to Mrs. Henard.

In his comments after receiving the honor, Miller focused on vision and how the Acts, Arts, Academia series and the restoration of Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Building started with a small meeting of a few people who had a vision and followed it through.  He encouraged the more than 150 attendees to keep following their vision for the future of Tusculum College.

Dr. Miller, a member of the Tusculum College Class of 1935, is “an alumnus, physician, poet, educator, patron of the arts, visionary and servant leader,” the citation read.  His associations with Tusculum College include the lifelong ties made among the six members of his immediate family who have attended Tusculum College.  Dr. Miller has established a pattern of positive involvement in college, community and family that he has carried on since his student days at Tusculum College.

Dr. Miller graduated from the University of Virginia Medical School in 1950 and began a family practice in Abingdon, Va.  As his medical practice developed, Dr. Miller became increasingly concerned that medical schools had turned away from preparation of students for family practice in favor of other specializations, and in the late 1960s, Dr. Miller became the first family practitioner in modern times to be appointed to the faculty of the medical school.  He cofounded a division which later became the Department of Family Medicine, a postgraduate specialized program at the University of Virginia.  Because of Dr. Miller’s work, this program has directly affected the quality of life for thousands of Virginians.  He was later awarded the rank of professor emeritus at the University of Virginia.

For many years he has been a leader in his local community of Abingdon and been a lifelong friend to Tusculum College.  Over many years, he has been active on the board of the Highlands Festival and Craft Show and has served in many leadership roles since the early 1950s.

“He is a lover of jazz and a published poet. He was the inspiration for the Acts, Arts, Academia series at Tusculum College and has supported the program since its inception in the Fall of 2000,” said duBrisk.

In recognition of his distinguished career and his service to his Alma Mater, he received the Pioneer Award in 1994 and an honorary doctorate in 1998.

Jean Henard thanked the group for the award presented in honor of her husband who was a member of the Tusculum College Board of Trustees at the time of his death last spring.

Dr. Henard was a member of the Tusculum College Board of Trustees from May 2005 until May 2008, and “distinguished himself as a physician, community leader, leader, College Trustee, donor, visionary, spokesman and lifelong supporter of education,” the citation read.  His associations with Tusculum College and the Greeneville/Greene County community continued a family tradition of support of education, community and family that included continued, unwavering support of Tusculum College.

Dr. Henard attended Marion Military Institute in Marion, Ala., Clemson University in South Carolina and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. He served his country as a member of the United States Army. At the conclusion of his military service, Dr. Henard completed his undergraduate studies at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City and pursued his medical training at the University of Tennessee Medical School in Memphis.

Following medical school, Dr. Henard entered an orthopedic residency program at the renowned Campbell Clinic in Memphis. He then completed an additional specialty program in orthopedic hand surgery at the University of Iowa before returning to Memphis, where he entered private medical practice as an orthopedic surgeon. Upon retirement, he and his wife of 49 years, the former Jean Deaton, returned to Greene County.

An active member of Asbury United Methodist Church, Dr. Henard also participated in a number of Greeneville civic groups and other local organizations in the fields of government, economic development, education and health.  He was a supporter of the community through his membership and chairmanship of the Board of Directors of the Greene County Partnership and through the Greeneville-Greene County Airport Authority, of which he was chairman. He also served on the Laughlin Memorial Hospital Foundation, the Greeneville City Schools Foundation and was a member of the Board of Directors of the Niswonger Foundation.

He and Jean have one son, Dr. David Hal Henard, and one daughter, Dr. Deborah Henard MacFawn, and seven grandchildren.

The President’s Dinner is the College’s signature event and is hosted each spring by the Office of Institutional Advancement as a thank-you to the College’s major donors. This year’s event was held at Link Hills Country Club.

Dr. Kent Keith, known internationally for his “Paradoxical Commandments,” received an honorary doctorate Saturday during Tusculum College’s commencement ceremonies.

Two hundred and seventy-five students received degrees during the two commencement ceremonies in Pioneer Arena. During the morning ceremony 24 students earned master of art degrees in education and 84 earned bachelor of science degrees in organizational management. In the afternoon service 167 students earned bachelor of arts degrees.

Dr. Keith was presented with an honorary doctorate of humane letters during the afternoon ceremony. He was selected for an honorary doctorate “in recognition of all these achievements, his work in the field of education and his dedicated service to mankind,” said Dr. Melinda Dukes, associate vice president of academic affairs.

A dynamic speaker and writer whose mission is to help people find personal meaning in a crazy world, Dr. Keith has earned international recognition for his “Paradoxical Commandments” which were part of a booklet for student leaders he wrote and published in 1968 as a college sophomore. His book became a national bestseller and has been translated into 17 languages.

The book inspired three subsequent books related to the Paradoxical Commandments, which include: “Do It Anyway,” “Jesus Did It Anyway” and “Have Faith Anyway.” Dr. Keith is also the author of the “Universal Moral Code,” a set of fundamental moral principles that can be found throughout the world, and “The Case for Servant Leadership,” published in 2008. Tusculum College was honored to have Dr. Keith as a speaker on campus last year when he addressed servant leadership and its role in living a meaningful life as part of the Cicero Lecture Series of the College’s Acts, Arts, Academia 2008-09 performance and lecture series.

In 2007, Dr. Keith became chief executive officer of the Greenleaf Center, based in Indiana. The center is an international non-profit organization that promotes the understanding and practice of servant leadership through conferences, the publication of books and materials, sponsorship of speakers and seminars and the distribution of information and services for its members.

Prior to his service at the Greenleaf Center, Dr. Keith served as director of planning and economic development in the cabinet of the Governor of Hawaii; as project manager for the Mililani Technology Park in Hawaii; as president of Chaminade University, and as senior vice president for the YMCA of Honolulu. He was also an attorney in a private law firm.

Dr. Keith earned a bachelor’s degree in government from Harvard University, a master’s degree in philosophy and politics from Oxford University, a law degree from the University of Hawaii and a doctorate in education from University of Southern California. He is a Rhodes Scholar and has a certificate in Japanese from Waseda University. He has served on boards of schools and colleges, was a member of the Hawaii State Department of Education Task Force on Restructuring the Curriculum, served as a member of the Executive Committee of the Western College Association and has chaired college accreditation teams.

The graduates’ achievements are the focus of Tusculum’s commencement ceremonies, and four graduates were chosen by the faculty to make comments as representatives of their classmates.

Speaking in the morning ceremony was Pamela Snyder of Morristown, who earned a bachelor of science degree in organizational management. Snyder asked her fellow graduates if they were ready to pass the test of the real world. “I hope that together we can pass the test of the real world – through persistence, attitude, setting goals and finding success.”

Karen Holweg of Morristown also spoke during the morning ceremony, representing her fellow classmates who earned master of art degrees in education. Holweg spoke of her experience as a student in the Graduate and Professional Studies (GPS) program and how she learned from others’ experiences — her professors and her classmates. She encouraged her fellow education graduates to use their new knowledge in their classrooms to enhance learning.

Speakers for the afternoon ceremony were Jeremiah Peterson of Unicoi, representing students from the traditional Residential College program, and Beth Weatherall of Morristown representing those students who earned bachelor of arts degrees in education, including those who earned degrees through the GPS program for working adults.

Peterson told his fellow graduates that commencement marked an opportunity for further growth, a new start and to accept new challenges.  “Growth happens when we step into the indefinite, and today, as we leave here, we are stepping into the indefinite,” he said.  “I mean, have you seen the news lately?  We must be brave.  Being brave does not mean feeling no fear, it means acting in the face of fear.  We cannot be static.  We must continue to learn and evolve.  So, it is my hope that each one of us will be courageous as we face the unknown and find continuous growth in our lives.”

Weatherall said she was “leaving Tusculum a new person, excited about the prospects ahead of me. The lessons I will hold most dear are the ones I hope you will embrace also, they are: be patient, be helpful, be available, strive to be the best, help students know they are winners, make learning fun and engaging, don’t be afraid to do the unconventional, be enthusiastic, be artistic, enjoy reading and teach your students to enjoy reading, be fair, and love children and let them love you.”

Dr. Stephen Weisz, college chaplain and associate professor of religious studies, delivered the baccalaureate sermon, “Where There is No Map” during both ceremonies. Dr. Weisz spoke of Abraham who was directed by God to go an unknown land. “Even if you are confident about your future, you will be called to march off your map,” he told the graduates, encouraging them to continue to have faith in God who is faithful and knows what lies ahead.

During the afternoon ceremony, members of the Class of 1959 were recognized, as they are celebrating their 50th reunion year. Ten members of the class, dressed in golden robes and caps, led the procession of the graduating students into the arena. Prior to the ceremony, the class members were given a luncheon in their honor by the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations and presented with medallions to mark their milestone.
