Marianne Williamson - One of the new marketing phrases heard in the marketing industry is "walking brand." This label is attached to a person who becomes the embodiment of what an organization or cause stands for. Almost like a person with a Nike swoosh tattooed on their forehead, the very presence of this person reminds you of something. When we say that a person is the walking brand of Trevecca Nazarene University, we mean that this person embodies the values of the University in the way he or she lives. What people think of Trevecca is conditioned by what they think of this person. Years ago a wonderful man named Howard Wall Jr. selected the motto Esse Quam Videri, "to be rather than to seem," as a fitting definition of the work of Trevecca. In a world tired of plastic facade, surface veneer, and posturing masks, we believe something that is actually what it claims to be is a gift. But the motto is more than authenticity. What we aim to be is actually Christlike-ness. To be made like Jesus rather than to appear to be religious is our aim. As you browse this yearbook, my deepest prayer is that you will see not only the walking brand of Trevecca, but authentic Christians. -Dan Boone 4 Paula Jones began working in the mailroom at Trevecca Nazarene University in 1993 when her husband, Marvin, became the worship pastor at Trevecca Community Church of the Nazarene, and she has remained in that position.

They have two adult children, and now they are the proud grandparents of three-Raegan, Davis, and Caden. In her spare time Mrs. Jones enjoys crafts, decorating, and taking care ofher family. Mrs. Jones is characterized by her faithfuhiess to her family and the Trevecca community. Speaking for all Trevecca students, senior Kristin Lester described Mrs. Jones' role with students: "Mrs. Paula Jones is one ofthe nicest people on campus. Her commitment to her work is remarkable; she ensures that the mailroom hours are accessible to every student. She knows every student's name, and she is quick to encourage each one ofus. Mrs. Jones is a blessing to Trevecca's students, and we are thankful for her!" Trevecca students are very thankful for her caring nature and nurturing spirit. Trevecca students join with Kristin in saying, "Thank you for your presence and dedication to Trevecca, Mrs. Jones." 5 NCAA In the summer the Dll notified Trevecca that it had been approved for year- two candidacy status in its efforts to join the NCAA Dll.
