Fitness Center

It is that time of year.

Time to get back to the gym. For the last few days, I have been utilizing the fitness center at the MBU SRC. I would like to take a few minutes to encourage all MBU faculty to take advantage of this free resource. It takes effort, energy, and planning to pack my exercise clothes, towel, and headphones. However, the benefits outweigh that effort. I have felt so much better the last few days. When I run on the treadmill and lift some weights, I make better eating choices.

Check out the fitness center today!

Veteran's Day We owe a debt of gratitude to all former and current military men and women for their service to our country. Please take a few minutes and read the Missing Man Table note that is placed on a table in the dining hall. This note brought some of us to tears as we reflected on those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. If you are on campus, I encourage you to stop in the dining hall to see the display. Display in the Dining Hall Veteran Shelton Smith today prior to Veteran's Day events Operation Christmas Child What a blessing to work at an institution where we enjoy giving and serving those in need! It was so fun to see the many departments on campus quickly volunteering to meet the needs. Mary Ann Bouas and Ellen John gathered goodies for the shoe boxes from the student education organizations.

Ron Brandly This week we celebrated the life of Ron Brandly and mourn his death from this earth, but we rest assured that he is teaching and talking and loving people in heaven. Ron was one of the most joyful and kind men I have ever met. He truly loved working at Missouri Baptist University and working with doctoral students. At his funeral there were several references made about Missouri Baptist University and his love of working with the people at MBU. At the luncheon that followed the funeral, Shelton Smith had the opportunity to share of Ron's service to teaching and serving on dissertation committees. A couple of our doctoral graduates, Elaine Henderson and Todd Culbertson, were there to attest to his caring attitude. We are grateful for his service and will miss him dearly! HLC Thanks to those of you who played a part in this week's visit with the HLC team. We appreciate your willingness to participate in interviews and validate the contents of our assurance
