The Second Century As we step into the Second Century, the leadership of Olivet has established seven general institutional goals. These plans will strengthen and improve our institution, but they will also stretch us. They have been made with great calculation, knowing that the God Who guided and provided for us in the first 100 years will do much more than we could ever possibly ask or imagine.
In the line of duty: Alum receives Probation Officer of the Year Award Joe Ewers '91 sat at the annual Probation Association's banquet casually chatting with coworkers. He paid little attention to the Probation Officer of the Year Award presentation happening on stage until things started to sound a little familiar.
"They were reading off some of the activities the winner was involved in and I was thinking, 'Hey, I do that. I recognize that.' They called my name [and] I just sat there," he laughs.
Juanita Copley '73 Juanita Copley sees herself as more than an educator. For more than 30 years, she has seen herself as the salt of the earth as a teacher, an early childhood mathematics expert and a traveling speaker. Next, she'll take on Washington, D.C.

Inspired by the heroism and sacrifice of his brother, Wayne Michael Hayes '65, Chuck Hayes, pastor at Richland Center Church of the Nazarene, has partnered with Olivet to compile names for a campus alumni war memorial.
"I was struck by the idea that my brother wasn't the only former student who died in combat. It seems right that there should be something there to show they passed this way," says Hayes.
Olivet requests verifiable names of alumni who served in the United States armed forces and died in combat. Please send any information in regards to this request to alumni@olivet.edu.
