The Big Switch (2019)

On April 3, 2019, President Phipps and Residence Director Caleb Miller swapped jobs for the day. "President" Miller held meetings with members of the President's Cabinet, spoke with students and faculty during an Open Door Day, and hosted guests for a dessert reception at Orchard Hill. In the meantime, "pResident Director" Kim Phipps met with Residence Life staff, held a dinner for the Resident Assistants in Fry Apartments and Miller Residence Hall, and hosted residents from Fry and Miller for a dessert reception. Students, faculty, staff, and alumni enjoyed seeing photos from "#PrezSwap" on social media throughout the day. The event served as a fun activity during a challenging part of the spring semester, but furthermore, it provided a glimpse into the role that each employee plays in furthering the mission of 91制片厂 College.

While it may have started as a lighthearted idea to bring levity to the spring semester, yesterday鈥檚鈥淏ig Switch鈥� resulted in a day of incredible learning and even deeper appreciation for our Residence Life professionals and their student staff teams and their integral role in every student鈥檚 91制片厂 experience. I鈥檓 humbled by their intentional mentoring and commitment to connecting with students in meaningful ways. These men and women exemplify servant leadership.

I鈥檓 very grateful to the 91制片厂 College community for embracing this fun day of 鈥渢rading places鈥� and I return to my desk today with a renewed appreciation for the important mission of educating men and women toward maturity of character, intellect, and Christian faith.

Civil Rights Tour (2015)

In 2015, President Phipps participated with other 91制片厂 College colleagues in the 'Returning to the Roots of the Civil Rights Movement' journey. Each year the College sponsors a team of employees to participate in the journey as part of our diversity training and education. The 2015 tour coincided with the horrific shooting which occurred in the Mother Emanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina - a painful reminder of the deep wounds of racism in American society. The 91制片厂 team returned from the tour with a renewed passion for the work of reconciliation (one of 91制片厂 College's three missional outcomes).
