Two years and 22
classes later, Fearnow, a resident of Columbia City, Ind., graduated
from the Huntington University EXCEL Program for Adults with a

JMC,
Red Cross to host fall blood drive
 Huntington
University’s Joe Mertz Center for Volunteer Service and the
Huntington County American Red Cross will sponsor a blood drive that
is open to the community from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Nov. 9 in the
upper level of Habecker Dining Commons. Each school year, the Joe
Mertz Center provides two opportunities for blood donation. Junior
Josh Cauhorn, an
English education major from
Avilla, Ind., regularly gives blood. “I chose to give blood because
it’s a super easy way to help people,” he said. “All you have to do
is sit there and give something that you’ll get back without even
trying. It doesn’t make much sense not to give.”

November 9
Campus Bible Study:
"Theology of the Kingdom: Ethics"
Rev. Bill Fisher
Newton
offered book contract
Dr. Gary C. Newton, professor of discipling
ministries, has been offered a contract to write a book with
Broadman & Holman Academic Publishers titled “Heart-Deep Teaching:
Turning Sitters into Doers.” The purpose of this book will be to
explain how to teach in such a way as to progressively change the
heart and character of the learner into the likeness of Christ.
While many contemporary teaching strategies tend to be biblically
shallow, “Heart-Deep Teaching” will attempt to show the teacher how
to stimulate the learner to respond to Truth at deeper levels:
cognitively, affectively, volitionally and practically. Newton
plans to complete his manuscript by December 2008.
Ruiz attends conference
Matthew Ruiz,
instructor in exercise science, attended the Association for Applied
Sport Psychology Annual Conference in Louisville on Oct 24-27.

students and alumni of Huntington University are invited to the

The
first part of Dr. Paul Michelson's
Venetian Jewish Chronology, covering the 14th-17th
centuries, has been published online as part of the Venetian Jewish
Anthology project at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
Michelson serves as distinguished professor of history.
Thank you from the
auxiliary
Thanks, thanks
again! The garage sale sponsored by the Huntington University
Women’s Auxiliary has reached an income of just over $900. Yes, that
is above average! Early in November, lounge furniture in Miller and
Meadows halls will receive new upholstery. Proceeds from this 18th
Garage Sale Benefit will go toward that expense. The auxiliary
applauds the HU maintenance staff; Amie Arthur and the Joe Mertz
Center women led by Larissa and Lissa; Diane Frame and the sorting
committee led by Judy Campbell, Leah Doughty and Kelly Berggren
along with their seasoned volunteers; the sales team; and cleanup
crew. Most of all, the donors are the greatest gift as they bring
their treasures and trifles, along with the maintenance
collection, to stock these yearly sales. Thanks to everyone from
Habitat families, Shepherd’s Closet, Love Inc., and Goodwill who
also have benefited from this endeavor.
