In 2012, Huntington University will become the first Christian college in Indiana to offer bowling as a varsity sport. Only three other Christian colleges compete in bowling–in Missiouri, Kentucky, and Georgia.
The university will launch a men’s team and a women’s team, with 12 athletes per team. The season will run October through April, with multiple weekend tournaments.
“We are very excited to add bowling as an intercollegiate sport for both men and women,” said Athletic Director Lori Culler. “We know we have a tremendous number of outstanding bowlers here in our own community, and the success they’ve had has created a lot of enthusiasm for the sport. We hope to be able to tap into that talent pool often to give our programs some local flavor.”
In 2010, bowling became an emerging sport in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) as a result of 25 member institutions declaring participation for that academic year. Fifty varsity programs are needed to become an NAIA championship sport.
Last year alone, more than 300 boys and girls bowling teams competed in Indiana, and many local high schools host teams.
The Huntington University Foresters currently compete in 14 intercollegiate sports for men and women.

Attendees of the 2011 UB Youth Summit in Holly Hill, Fla. (click to enlarge).
Bobby Culler, chairman, Youth Ministry Team
The 2011 UB Youth Summit was held May 2-5 at First UB church in Holly Hill, Fla, (near Daytona Beach). This year, 23 youth workers from across UBdom gathered for a time of relaxation and refueling as we spent some much needed time “focusing” and “refocusing” on the things that are really important.
Rev. Denny Miller, senior pastor of Emmanuel Community Church in Fort Wayne, Ind., was our keynote speaker. He shared with the group the importance of focusing on the Word of God. This proved to be a very valuable time as each of us were challenged in our preparation and our presentation of our messages and lessons.
The Summit was a beneficial time of networking with other youth leaders and being encouraged by others who are in the trenches of youth ministry. We enjoyed the beach, the golf course, and the incredibly beautiful weather, along with the opportunity to slow down and step away from the constant demands of Youth Ministry.
Mark your calendar for next year’s Summit: April 30 – May 3, 2012. It is well-worth it!
Sarah Krzynowek
Sarah Krzynowek, a senior animation student at Huntington University, has been awarded the Student Illustrator Scholarship to attend a conference in Los Angeles in August hosted by the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. The SCBWI is the world’s largest professional organization for children’s book illustrators and writers.
Krzynowek, a native of New Hartford, Conn., was one of only three to receive this scholarship.
“It’s unheard of for a small liberal arts college student to receive this scholarship over an illustration major at an arts school,” said Bryan Ballinger, associate professor of digital media arts at HU. “This is a big deal for the university.”
The scholarship will provide admission to all conference events including keynotes and breakout sessions, entry in the Juried Portfolio Showcase, attendance to the illustration master class, an individual portfolio consultation with an illustrator or art director, and one year’s society membership dues.
Registrations for this summer’s US National Conference hit 606 on May 19, up 60 from two weeks ago.
You can register online, or by using the registration brochures mailed to all churches.
Reminder:

Jim and Julie Pryor kneel as Bishop Phil Whipple (right) prays for them. Assisting in the ceremony were Jerry Drummond (back, left) and Lee Rhodes.

Huntington University's first graduates from the Department of Nursing.
Ten Huntington University graduating nursing students were honored May 13, 2011, in a traditional pinning ceremony.
The Class of 2011 is the first graduating class from the Department of Nursing. Earlier in the week, the nursing program was awarded full accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
The history of the nursing pinning ceremony stems from the Crimean War when Florence Nightingale took 38 women to Turkey to nurse sick and wounded British soldiers. Since she cared for many patients by the light of a lamp, Florence Nightingale became known as the “lady with the lamp.” As a tribute to her dedication, the lamp icon became symbolic of nursing. Today, the nursing pin is used to welcome graduates into the nursing profession–the end of formal education and the beginning of practice.
At the ceremony, students received the Huntington University Department of Nursing pin with the department emblem.
