Her passion for psychologyhas led to a close association withLC psychology faculty member Dr.Virginia Cylke. Indeed, her senior honorsthesis focusing on inherent privilegesassociated with certain genders,races, and sexual orientations, whichJenna defended in April, is a productof her research with Dr. Cylke ondiscriminations within our society.While juggling a double major inpsychology and criminology (thecriminology major added “just forfun”) and a Spanish minor, Jenna hasstill found time to do what she lovesthe most—getting involved in theLynchburg campus. With the help oftwo planners and a strict adherenceLeah Biglto her “academics first” policy, Jennadove headfirst into the LC communityas secretary of the Zeta Upsilon chapterof Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority, vicepresident of the Psi Chi psychologyhonorary, and the head assistant in thepsychology lab, in addition to numerousother responsibilities and activities overthe past four years. Her schedule isenough to make others gasp when shestarts listing off her résumé, but Jennafirmly maintains that time managementhas allowed her to pursue her widevariety of passions, including SpecialOlympics and Lynchburg Grows,while keeping her sanity. Jenna’slate spring distinctions include theRichardson Award for outstandingwork in sociology and “OutstandingSenior in Psychology Award.”For many in the Westover freshmanclass, Jenna has had a profoundlypositive influence as president of theSociety. Freshtover athletic trainingmajor Kelsey Shelton said, “She is anexample that, if a student managestime wisely and exerts an effort to getinvolved in his or her community, it ispossible to succeed academically whilestill investing in the next generation ofcollege students.”Jenna took on the office ofpresident for this precise reason,wanting the Westover Honors Societyto reach its fullest potential by ensuringthat the resources of the programare completely employed. Fondlyrecalling her adventures as a Westoverfreshman on the annual fall retreat—and the bonds that were establishedand maintained over the past fouryears among the Westover Class of2010—Jenna wanted to guaranteethat Westover would continue topresent students the opportunity toexpand their horizons in academic,community, and social milieus.the inside scoopFeature: Jenna Jewell1 SeniorAcademic Award Winners2-3 Fellows on the FieldAdventure, and Achievement4 Fun,Phi Eta Sigma InducteesTravelling Scholars5 Westover’sSenior Theses6 Faculty Focus: Dr. Kevin PetersonOpera, and . . .7 Hockey,Moving on to Advanced Degrees8 Tiny Red Lights, Hot Young Stars . .This fall, Jenna will be heading tothe University of Kentucky on a fullscholarship to pursue her Ph.D. in socialpsychology, allowing her to continueresearching inequalities in society.Eventually, she plans to teach at alarge university where she will be ableto continue her research on racial,gender, and sexual stereotypes.Whether it has been organizingthe Westover cookout in Septemberor just taking time to encourageindividual students to exploit theresources on campus, Jenna hascertainly left a legacy within Westoverand across the entire campus thatwill remain long after she graduates.WESTOVER HONORS SOCIETYRECIPIENTS OF ACADEMICAWARDS FOR 2009-10Congratulations to Tabitha K.Bollinger and Samantha Meiserwho were inducted this springinto the prestigious ranks of theNational Society of Phi Kappa Phi,the highest academic honorary atLynchburg College.

FELLOWS ON THE FIELDPInterviews by Victor Munsonarticipating in the Westover Honors Program does not mean thatstudents have to choose between playing a sport and studying.While Westovers have participated in nearly all of LC’s varsitysports, this year Westovers are particularly numerous in varsity men’sand women’s lacrosse. The experiences below tell part of the storyof Westover scholar athletes! —Ed.Tricia Clay is one of two assistant coaches for LC Women’s Lacrosse,working primarily with the defense. Clay graduated from LC, whereshe played for women’s lacrosse, as a Westover Fellow in 2009.Westovers playing on the Varsity Women’s Lacrosse team:Meredith Buskard (sophomore), Morgan Logue (junior), Carly Pleinesand Julie Will (freshstovers), and Asst. Coach Patricia Clay (‘09)VM: Just to start off, I’d like to hear a little bit about yourlife, how you got to Lynchburg College, how long haveyou been playing lacrosse and everything like that.Tricia Clay: . . . I attended Virginia Tech for a year and I realizedthat it was really too big. I played club lacrosse there, but I kind offelt lost among the thousands of people. . . . I remembered thevisit I made to Lynchburg and the Westover Honors Program . . . soI got into contact with both Coach [Bruce] Reed and also Dr. [Ed]DeClair and told them that I was interested in transferring, and theyreally helped out with the process of transferring here. And afterthat I loved Lynchburg College, so I stayed a couple extra years.leadership honor society, and Phi Kappa Phi, so I was amember of a lot of different things, but the bulk of my timewas spent with the lacrosse team, especially in the springbecause we practice and play pretty much every day.How has being a member of the team helpedyou be a coach for the team?It’s really helped in the transition to my first year coaching becauseI already know all the players. I have a connection with them, Iknow what they can do on the field, I know their personalities offthe field, so I really think that helps me communicate with thembetter because I did just play with them. But on the other hand,it’s also harder because I’m their friend and now I’m supposedto be an authority figure, so it’s a little bit hard in that regard. ButI think the transition went really smoothly; everyone was reallywelcoming on the team for me transitioning into the authority role.How’s the season going so far, you think?We are having a really great season this year. We’vereally improved, and I think all the players we havethis year have really bonded and taken leadershiproles on the team. Right now, we are 9-3, and that’sprobably the best record I’ve seen, definitely sinceI’ve been here, but probably even beyond that.Do you see yourself doing this for a long time ormaybe becoming a head coach of a lacrosse teamsomewhere? What are your plans for the future?I hope so. Right now, I am also in grad school, doing the M.B.A.program here at Lynchburg College, and I think that’s reallyhelping me kind of explore more career options, but whateverI do, I hope that I have some time for lacrosse, whether it’scoaching high school or youth, or even if I change my mindand decide to pursue a head coaching position at anotheruniversity or college, I do hope to keep it with me in some form.While you were here, you were in the Westover program. Howdid that mesh with being a member of the lacrosse team?I think it was really helpful because it gave me a lot of structure. Ithink that Westover classes are really challenging, and they forceyou to take more time to focus on your academics, and then alsowith the amount of time that I spent on the lacrosse field, I reallyhad to manage my time well. I think the teachers, though, overallare really supportive of combining academics and athletics.Did you do any other extracurricular things here atLynchburg while you were an undergrad?I did a bunch of different things, mostly with the Communication StudiesDepartment—I was a communication studies major—so I wrote for theCritograph for a year, I was a member of different honor societies, likeLambda Pi Eta, which is the communication honor society, ODK, thepage 2Has your being a Westover influenced the wayyou see other Westovers on the team?I definitely respect them, and I think that it’s achallenge, but it’s a good challenge. I mean, afterfour years, I felt really accomplished that I was ableto do so much here. And I think it’s well worth it.Mitch Poole (#4) is a sophomore from BelAir, Maryland, majoring in mathematics witha minor in Spanish. He plays midfield.VM: How did you come to be at LC playinglacrosse as a Westover? That is, how long haveyou been playing lacrosse and what got you intoit? Why did you choose LC? Why Westover?Mitch Poole: I wanted to find a school that was bothan athletic powerhouse and a great place to getan education. Lynchburg definitely meets both ofthese standards and my choice was easy. In fact, Idid not even apply anywhere else. I wanted to beinvolved in Westover because I wanted to challengemyself academically and wanted to keep focus onmy education while still having fun playing a sport.What’s your favoritepart of lacrosse? Yourfavorite moment?My favorite moment hasto be my first collegiategoal earlier this seasonagainst Stevens Tech.The game was played inthe worst weather I haveever played lacrosse in—freezing rain, winds, andunbearable temperatures(typical New Jersey)—and I scored an earlygoal in a very importantgame for our team.
Morgan Logue is a junior accountingmajor from Barrington, Illinois. Sheplays midfield and is the captain of theLC varsity women’s lacrosse team.VM: How long have you been playinglacrosse and what got you into it? Whydid you choose LC? Why Westover?Morgan Logue: I love the sport . . .borderline obsessed with it. . . . Idecided to come to LC because I hadthe opportunity to play lacrosse andstill be able to focus on my studies.Westover gives me, and the otherstudents, the opportunity to take alarge variety of classes all revolvedaround the liberal arts. It allows me todiversify my knowledge.Your favorite moment?When we beat Marymount last year.We were down by 3 and down aplayer, there was less than 5 minutesin the game, and we came backand won by 1. It felt like we’d wonthe national championship!Matt Manzo (#21) is a sophomore from Leesburg,Virginia, majoring in business administration with a minorin German. He plays midfield for LC men’s lacrosse.VM: How long have you been playing lacrosse and whatgot you into it? Why did you choose LC? Why Westover?Matt Manzo: My family is from Long Island which hasalways been a hot spot for lacrosse . . . so I’ve beenplaying since I was in middle school. Specifically, Iremember watching my cousin play for HampdenSydney. I love bragging to him when we spank hisalma mater every year. I chose LC because CoachKoudelka recruited me, and upon visiting, I decidedI just loved the school. Also, because Coach is agood man, which is sort of rare for coaches (in myexperience anyway). I just really had the feeling that Iwanted to play on his team. Why Westover? Why not?I had the grades and there are plenty of benefits tojoining the program. Seemed like a no-brainer to me. Ialso enjoy classes where students actually conversewithout being cattle-prodded.How has being a Westover and a lacrosse player affected one or the other?Obviously the workload is different being in Westover. While there is far lessbusy work, I find myself having to allot more time to prepare for classroomdiscussions. Lacrosse is a huge balancing factor for me. Instead of going homeafter class and slacking off in front of the TV, computer, or whatever . . . I gowork my *** off doing something I love for three hours a day. When I get back Ido my work for school and then I relax. Ironically, having less free time helps mekeep my priorities straight—although,sometimes deadlines get very tricky.DISTINCTIONS INTRACK AND FIELDKelsey Shelton[Inducted this year into both Phi EtaSigma and Omicron Delta Kappa, KelseyShelton has distinguished herself notonly in academics and sports but as theoriginator of the “Pre-DPT” club, for studentsinterested in pursuing the College’s newdoctorate in physical therapy. Kelsey plansto be one of its first graduates.—Ed.]The nerves, the adrenaline rush,the aches, the pains, the relief,the feeling of accomplishment,the desire to achieve more, and theenjoyment of runner’s high are dailyexperiences of Westover athletescompeting on Lynchburg College’strack and field team. Like any othersport, track is time consuming. It meansexhausting afternoons, early Saturdaymornings followed by spending all dayat a track meet, and, on everyoneelse’s day of relaxation, lifting.Participating in track and field may bemysterious to some: after all, it’s painful.Also, most think that such an individualizedsport would have less of the importantteam characteristics that are associatedwith more familiar “team sports.” Butcurrent LC Westover participants will saythat one of the most important reasonsto run is the team’s notorious feeling offamily. They eat and hang out with theteam, in addition to living with or neareach other. Track and field athletes aredrawn into the uplifting, almost surreal,connection among teammates.NCAA Academic All-Americanmid-distance runner, Westover AshleyMeyer ’10 understands the struggles ofbalancing school and track: 2009 ODACOutdoor Runner Up-1500 Meters, 2009ODAC Indoor Runner Up-One Miler, 2009ODAC Outdoor Third Place-800 Meters,2008 ODAC Outdoor Runner Up-500Meters plus academic and leadershiphonoraries Phi Eta Sigma, Phi Kappa Phi,and Omicron Delta Kappa. When shefinishes her graduate work at the Universityof Missouri-Kansas City Dental School,Ashley will be the fastest dentist in town!Exercise physiology major Dan Cutright‘12 competes in distance events whilekeeping his grades in athletic training outin front of the pack. Ashley Saba, whostudies between events at track meets,topped off her “Freshtover” year with aninvitation to join the freshman academichonorary, Phi Eta Sigma. Joining her thereis teammate Kelsey Shelton ’13, whoadds significantly to the team as VarsityWomen’s Track and Field ConferenceWinner in high jump and ConferenceWinner in 4x400m relay. Track and fieldexperiences show that Westovers can befirst class scholars as well as top athletes!What are your plans after graduation?Do you plan on staying involved inlacrosse in any way?After I graduate, I hope to beaccepted to and attend the CulinaryInstitute in New York. I may have tofind a job in the real world first, butafter I get some capital I would liketo get into the food industry . . . myultimate dream being to open a highend restaurant. I love to cook andI love to eat, so attending a schoolwhere my courses revolve aroundsuch things sounds like a blast. If timeallows, I imagine I would stay involvedwith lacrosse as much as I can. Laxisn’t a sport you can just stop playingor cut ties with . . . it’s just way toomuch fun. Playing on a post-gradclub team or coaching would bevery enjoyable.What’s your favorite part of lacrosse?Your favorite moment?My favorite part of playing lacrossehere is the mob-mentality, the “bandof brothers” feeling that I get fromknowing that there are 47 otherguys who have got my back. Thatand standing out on Shellenbergeron game night. The feeling can’tbe matched, nothing comes close.No specific favorite moment.page 3
IBALANCING FUN, ADVENTURE, ANDACHIEVEMENT--JON JERRILD ‘10f senior Westover Fellow Jon Jerrildhad a personal motto, it might be,“remain open to possibilities.” Earlyin his senior year of high school Jon firstheard of LC through the postcard thatarrived in his Norwalk, Connecticut,mailbox. After visiting the campus andmeeting faculty, he chose one-onone interactions with professors overthe large-school experience offeredby the University of Connecticut. Healso opened himself to the WestoverHonors Program, which he now seesas one of his best decisions, citingthe value of its multidisciplinarycourses and its community ofacademically motivated students.He sees living together with otherWestovers in his freshman year asthe beginning of his strong sense ofbelonging at Lynchburg. Jon says,“The best part about being in theWestover Honors Program was beingaround like-minded individuals whovalue education and knowledgeas much as I do. The vast majorityof the students push themselvesto go above and beyond what isexpected, both in and out of theclassroom, and I feel privileged tobe part of such an accomplishedand dedicated group of students.”Intrigued by the influence ofmonetary decisions on global affairs,Jon chose to major in financialeconomics. Initially he thought thatcourses examining money, credit, andbanking would have considerablepractical application throughout hislife. But beyond that, Jon discoveredan enduring interest in studyingtopics in economics such as “costdrivers,” which he developed into thefocus of his Westover Honors thesis.Jon’s life after LC is likely to involvea career in financial managementand, eventually, an M.B.A. His strongcommitment to academics has givenhim an excellent résumé that includesDean’s List honors every semester,membership in the National Societyof Phi Kappa Phi, and a semester ofstudy in Austria at LC-sister school,Fachhochschule Vorarlberg.Of the Westover Honors courseshe has taken, Jon especially enjoyedpage 4Dr. NancyCowden“1968,” a colloquium which focused onone of the most complex and turbulentyears in United States history. Growingup, he says that he was vaguely awareof the Vietnam War but never hadfully understood what it had beenabout; that changed appreciablyduring class discussions. For Jon, thecourse illuminated dramatically theinterplay between politics and culturethat drove much of the news of theentire Vietnam era, especially the year1968. Dr. David Lipani, his instructor inthe course and professor of English,notes: “Jon is an enormously talentedyoung man whom I admire not onlyfor his intellect and work ethic but forhis quiet self-assurance. He’s not oneto call attention to himself: instead, hegoes about his business unobtrusively,performing always at the highestlevel and letting that performancespeak to the quality individual he is.”Looking back on his time atLynchburg College, Jon expressesamazement at how involved hehas been in a variety of activities:a member of the investment club,vice president of Sigma Nu (and soa member of the Order of Omega,the Greek honorary), a PASS tutor ineconomics (which he terms, “oneof the best jobs on campus”), andco-anchor of “Three Guys and aMike,” a radio program that he anda couple of friends started, promptedby others to share their impromptubanter about their day-to-dayexperiences. Clearly he has combinedfun with achievement in balancedproportion during his years at LC.CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WESTOVER HONORS PROGRAM INDUCTEES INTO PHI ETA SIGMA(left to right) back row: Albert Leavell, Kenley Hoover, Brandon Gannicott, Rob Arold,Benuel Hostetter, Mallory Stewart, Rebecca Speck, Abigail Burnette, Dan Chomiddle row: Sarah Lavinder, Orry Hatcher, Caitlyn Hall, Megan Johnson, ElizabethClemens, Sarah Rosche, Leah Bigl, Susan Pense, Brynn Workmanfront row: Kristin Marstin, Shelby Kienzle-Pappalardo, Carly Pleines, Maggie Pearce,Ashley Saba, Kelsey Shelton

LIVING HIS PHILOSOPHY:DR. KEVIN PETERSONVictor MunsonDr. Kevin Peterson, mathematicsprofessor, has taught “all but twocourses” in the Math Departmentat LC, but in the 2010-11 school year,he’ll be devoting much of his energyto another passion—LC’s Year ofConservation and Sustainability, whichPeterson is helping to promote.As well as being the main contactperson for the year’s theme, Petersonwill teach an honors colloquium inthe spring semester that is centeredon problem-solving. “There’ll be a lotof mathematics in it, but it won’t beonly solving mathematics problems,”he says, “so we’ll also tackle problemsin economics, problems in socialjustice, problems in environmentalissues, probably look at some thingsin sustainability as well. . . . There’s a[Westover] colloquium in the fall called‘Environmental Activism’ taught by Dr.[Tom] Shahady, and then my coursewill be problem-solving, so they’llkind of piggyback off one other.”“We’ll have a lot of big speakersin next year,” Peterson says.“We’re looking at maybe having[environmentalist author] Bill McKibbenin—we’re looking at having a bunchof local activists in, in sustainability.”Peterson has been living manyof his ideas about conservation foryears. “I ride my bike [to work] whenI can,” he explains. “I carpool almostexclusively after that. I try to drive mycar or truck to work maybe one time aweek.” He and his wife are attemptingto start a small “demonstrationfarm—and ‘farm’ makes it soundbigger than it is—for people to tryto learn to live more sustainably,more self-sufficiently,” he says.“We started . . . I don’t know whatyou want to call them, but we callthem ‘Garden Blitzes.’ What we do iswe find people who want to put in agarden who may not know anythingabout gardening and we get nine, tenpeople to go over to their house andget their garden started,” Petersonsays of his efforts to help others livemore sustainably, which also includeshelping others to install solar panelsand solar collectors on their homes.(Peterson’s own home runs almostentirely on solar-generated electricity.)“We’ve been doing these kinds ofpage 6things for several yearsnow. I guess it’s alwayskind of driven us. I don’tknow exactly why. Itjust seemed to makesense to me; I alwayswas worried that wewere using too much.”Peterson views thegoals of the Year ofConservation andSustainability as longterm investments. “Icall it Year One ofConservation andSustainability because Iwant it not to be a thingwhere we say, ‘Oh,well, that year’s over,now we’re done.’”WESTOVER HONORS SOCIETY RECIPIENTS OF ACADEMICAWARDS FOR 2009-10continued from page 1Jon Jerrild (PKP)Robert Hill Award in EconomicsMadeleine Coultrip (PKP)Achievement in Graphic DesignSarah Cates (PKP)Charlotte Quarles OutstandingMusic Minor AwardSenior Mathematics AwardLoriann GarciaMahan-Osborne OutstandingSenior in BiologyCaitlin Gibb (PKP)Female Scholar Athlete of the YearJacob BishoffElsie Bock Writing AwardTaelor SkinnerBelle M.
