2018 Global Leadership Summit
  William Penn University partnered with College Avenue
  Friends Church, on August 9 and 10, 2018, to host the
  Global Leadership Summit. As one of over 750 satellite
  host-sites worldwide, William Penn University was thrilled
  to be able to invite local businesses and churches, alum, faculty and staff from Penn to attend this event.
  Ninety-two people were able to get a unique blend of vision, inspiration, and practical skills that they could
  immediately apply into their lives and careers.
  The 2018 GLS was a two day event with thirteen different speakers. Each speaker talked from a different
  perspective on the values of what makes great leaders, or how you can make your company, school, or church
  grow and be successful. Speakers such as John Maxwell, Simon Sinek, Sheila Heen, and others truly added to
  the professional development atmosphere of the event.
  Leadership is one of the main staples here at William Penn University, and whenever we can host an event
  in which our University can learn and grow, alongside the local community, it is a great thing for both! We
  are already taking strides in the right direction to host this enlightening event again next year, and we look
  forward to seeing how it grows!

English Professor Celebrates Published Poetry Collection
                            Over a decade of creativity, writing, revision, deep thinking, and arrangement, a collection
                            of poems written by Dr. Jared Pearce will be compiled in his upcoming publication,
                            The Annotated Murder of One.
                            What began in the summer of 2007, will come to fruition as Jared’s full poem collection
                            was released in September 2018. The inspiration from the collection came from the song “A
                            Murder of One” by the long-standing band, Counting Crows. From that song, Jared annotated
                            the words and phrases to pen his poems.
                            Vivid bird imagery is constructed within the collection’s work, as well as ghosts, flowers,
                            dessert, and other humorous images. The poems play off of memories and history, songs,
                            stories, vision, in addition to the relationship of love.
                            The imagery displayed in the poems will be brought to life by Editor, Cosette Puckett. The
                            designs will be kept minimal—black and white, drawn in graphite and ink on paper. Puckett
                            is also designing borders that will be visible in each section, with each section having a
                            divider and unique border design.
Many of the poems within “The Annotated Murder of One” had previously been published in a poetry chapbook or in
other literary publications. But this is Jared’s first full poetry publication, which is being prepared by Aubade Publishing.
Aubade Publishing noted that Jared’s poems have been nominated for numerous accolades including Pushcart Prize,
short listed for the Slate Roof and Blue Light Press competitions, and won the BYU Studies Prize in Poetry.
“The Annotated Murder of One” is available for pre-sale online Amazon.com. You can speak with Jared or purchase his
new collection during Homecoming at Authors and Artists on Saturday morning, October 13 in the Penn Activity Center.

Leaders Speak Series Slated to Continue
William Penn University prides itself on the development of
leadership in our students—it doesn’t typically stop in the classroom
or on the court. The Digital Communication Program at WPU
promotes the sharing of ideas, provides opportunities for skills
development, and encourages meaningful conversations through
the Leaders Speak Series.
The Leaders Speak Series allows leaders from a variety of fields and
all walks of life to bring their diverse ideas, engage community
members, and provide practical experiences for students. Digital
Communication students are involved in the event promotion,
planning, and live broadcast of the series.
Since the initiative’s inception in 2015, the program has hosted
numerous notable leaders, including Senator Bernie Sanders,
Magistrate Issaka Moussa of the Republic of Niger, and Eva
Hakansson, the world’s fastest female motorcycle rider. Qualified
and knowledgeable speakers have been a staple in every season’s
presentations.
The presentations are always free and open to the public. To watch
past presenters and see any upcoming news about the initiative, visit

Renovating A

            Legendary Landmark
        Standing tall and proud on the southeast corner of campus lies a sleepy chapel that once
        held the masses and stores memories from years ago. William Penn’s historic Spencer
        Chapel was finished in 1923, but since the early 2000s it has lain dormant, due to the
        construction of the George Daily Auditorium and a state of disrepair.

        During the last two decades, other buildings on the Oskaloosa campus were also erected,
        such as the Penn Activity Center, Musco Technology Center, and new dormitories. The
        chapel remained still as those buildings rose.

        But now, Spencer Chapel is getting an opportunity to shine again as it welcomes
        newcomers to campus for the first time, as well as returning students and cherished
        alumni. A series of interior and exterior renovations have been mapped out for Spencer
        Chapel. Alumni, students, staff, and faculty all look forward to the unveiling of the restored
        historic building.

        President John Ottosson is looking forward to the renovation, stating, “Spencer Chapel
        has a lot of history and opening it again will contribute to today’s student experience. We
        want to return it to the point where we can use it for on-campus concerts, convocations,
        and other events.”

        On campus in Oskaloosa, Iowa since the 1920s, Spencer Chapel has quite a storied history.
        The main level has served as a chapel, auditorium, concert hall, and more—for students,
        faculty, staff, and local community members. The lower level has traditionally been used
        for more modern uses. It once housed a skating rink, a two-lane bowling alley, the campus
        bookstore, and a small cafe for students.

6   BULLETIN Fall 2018
S p Revival of e - William Penn University
The first phase of restoration came in the fall of 2017 when the
                                      exterior brick work was tended to and new windows were installed
                                      as the weather was still comfortable. Furthermore, steps were
                                      taken to strip harmful matter that had invaded the vacant chapel
                                      including mold, asbestos, and lead.

                                      The upcoming phases of renovation include the interior of the
                                      chapel, such as classrooms, elevators, and bathrooms. The old
                                      auditorium will get an upgrade as well. Reviving the chapel back
                                      to its historic integrity, while making the building up to code and
                                      usable is important to William Penn University.

                                      The seats in Spencer Chapel—originally installed in 1921—will
                                      eventually be replaced and the new seats will be able to comfortably
                                      seat up to 400 people. The building will also mix the old with the
                                      new. The main level will be returned to its historical uses and be the
                                      home of musicals, convocations, chapel services, and other events
                                      with large attendance. President Ottosson said, “The lower level
                                      will most likely have classrooms and offices—we are still finalizing
                                      the plans for this area.”

After renovations are completed, the main floor
of Spencer Chapel will host annual events such
as convocations, musicals, worship service,
weddings, and other possible events. Classrooms
and a conference room are expected to be
utilized in the basement of the building.

                                                                                                               7

S pencer Memorial Chapel
      B   eautiful in its colonial simplicity as it commands an imposing position atop a hillock near the entrance to the Penn
          college campus the Spencer Memorial Chapel, the gift of Mrs. Mary E. Spencer to the college to honor the memory
   of her departed husband, Harry L. Spencer was formally dedicated with appropriate services Sunday afternoon, February
   13, 1923.
      The chapel has just been completed following eighteen months of building activity. It is one of the finest college
   buildings of the kind in the land and is completely equipped by the donor. It is typically colonial in architecture, fire proof,
   and the auditorium will comfortably seat a thousand people. The building and equipment represents an outlay of more
   than $100,000.
      Dr. Henry Edwin McGrew, the president of Penn College, made the dedicatory address, expressing the deep-felt
   appreciation of the school for the gift, eulogizing Mr. Spencer in whose honor the chapel was erected, paying tribute to
   the generous spirit which prompted the building and tracing the rise of the structure from its inception to its completion.
      A number of persons appeared for brief expressions of appreciation. Captain W. H. Keating, representing the Oskaloosa
   Chamber of Commerce, spoke on behalf of the business community. He paid a fitting tribute to H. L. Spencer and emphasized
   the importance of Penn College to the community . Keating stressed, especially the appreciation of the business men of
   the city, that Mrs. Spencer had felt willing to make her contribution to a worthy an institution in our own city.
                                                                                             Excerpt from the Oskaloosa Herald, Daily vol. 36, No. 143

    Memorial to Husband
    The Harry L. Spencer Memorial Chapel, recently
    completed, was a gift to Penn College, Oskaloosa,
    by the widow, Mary E. Spencer, as a memorial
    to her husband. It is of red brick, with tile roof,
    and cost, including full equipment, $100,000.
    The design throughout is typically colonial. The
    construction is practically fire proof. The audience
    room, furnished with opera chairs, provides
    comfortable seating capacity for 1000 persons.
    With the new chapel added, Penn College has a
    half million dollar plant – buildings, equipment,
    35 acre campus and athletic field.

            Personal Message of Mrs. Mary E. Spencer at Dedication
                        of Spencer Memorial Chapel
    ‘One of the greatest pleasures of my life has been the building of this chapel in the memory of my dear
    husband who had for a long time had a deep interest in the College and in the up-building of our
          young people and the erection of a chapel had been the subject of fireside conversation.
    The greatest desire of my heart is that there will ever be a gathering within the walls but that at least
    one heart will be touched as to lead it the cleaner and brighter pathway and thus contribute to the
                                            up-building of the world.
    May the Lord be with you and bless you, make his face to shine upon you and give you peace and
                                  pleasure in the noble work you are doing.’

    Million Dollar Challenge
 F    or the last five years, William Penn University has been involved in building on the strengths
      of our heritage, while keeping an eye keenly on the needs of the future. Building upon a
base of strength in the form of foundational values of the early Society of Friends, the university
has embarked on a course of action focused on meeting real-world needs of students in a rapidly
changing global context. This action is grounded in innovation, entrepreneurship, quality, and
a clear-eyed view of the competitive academic marketplace.
  The renovations we propose for Spencer Chapel will allow us to continue to serve the
community and campus with a medium-sized auditorium, available for events, and classrooms
to better serve our students. Bringing Spencer Chapel back into full-use on a daily basis will
breathe life into this landmark.
   Through our combined gift support, this legendary landmark will receive the blessing of
its long overdue renovation. We have a donor couple who have generously offered a $1M
challenge to complete Spencer Chapel. The overall project is $2M and they are committing
to half of that! It’s exciting to know that Spencer Chapel is now receiving some much needed
attention.
  Do you remember your assigned seat for chapel? Well, those seats from the early 1920s are
going to be replaced. You can have your name engraved on a new chair for a gift commitment
of $1,500. Alumni are already reserving the opportunity to leave their legacy on a chair in
Spencer Chapel.
  Take a moment to reflect. Let’s honor our past and make Spencer Chapel happen.

“Though we are so conscious of the Christian witness in Palestine,
       the beautiful mosque, one of the world’s truly magnificent buildings,
       dominates the scene. Incorrectly called the Mosque of Omar, because
       of Omar’s early connection with Jerusalem and the Muslim country
       for 1,300 years. The Noble Sanctuary is built on the temple area, but
       when Muslims came, the area was the city dump heap, and it was the
       Christian Patriarch who called Omar’s attention to the site, for
       there was a tradition that it had been a holy place long before the
       Hebrews came. ...[The fact that] Omar himself helped clear away the
       accumulations of the centuries, and Abdul Malek Ibn Marwan made it
       the heart of his beautiful sanctuary, is clear evidence of the reverence
       the Muslims had for the Rock.”

          “We           want the life lessons of hard work and dedication, attention to detail,
                        commitment, and being a great teammate to resonate with the athletes so we
           can have that positive impact on them,” says Coach Jon Haugen, Assistant Athletic Director
           for Athletic Performance and Student Experience. In addition to their integral work with
           WPU athletic teams, Jon and his staff have been working with area high school teams in
           the weight room, focusing on three goals: to improve performance, reduce the likelihood
           of injuries, and positively impact the students. “When they learn those lessons, what they
           achieve, goes well beyond athletic success”.
                   The dedicated Athletic Performance team, comprised of Graduate Assistants and
           Fellowship Coaches, is currently working with Oskaloosa, Pella, Pella Christian, Lynnville-
           Sully, and North Mahaska High Schools. One WPU staff member is on site at each of these
           schools for 10-16 hours per week working with various athletic teams. Staff work with
           teams either before or after school hours, spending the remainder of their time on the WPU
           Oskaloosa campus, working with Statesmen teams and individual players. During that
           time players learn the fundamentals of strength and conditioning while understanding
           their responsibility to teammates and coaches.
                     The Athletic Performance coaches and staff have made this program a priority in
           their career. “They perform at a high level each day to make sure each high school is taken
           care of and their wants and needs are met. We have developed a great network of William
           Penn Athletic Performance coaches that have gone on and continued having great success
           in life,” says Jon.
                                                                 Through the passion for the program’s

            There have been and continue to be numerous individuals involved with the

     Heritage Society Honor Roll of Donors
In 1982, the Heritage Society was established at William Penn University as a means to recognize and honor those individuals whose
vision and commitment have motivated them to include William Penn University in their estate plans. Through the years, hundreds of
alumni and friends have become members.
Alumni and friends extend their commitment and generosity to the university beyond their lifetimes and for generations to come. Their
participation helps position the university for the future by providing scholarships for students and strengthening our endowment.
We are deeply grateful for those members who in their life indicated to us their estate intent, we are humbled by those individuals who
have made estate plans for William Penn which we learn of upon their demise. We are blessed by all those who give or intend to give
beyond their lifetime.
