Anderson University will host a special reception at this year’s annual meeting of the South Carolina Baptist Convention to commemorate the school’s centennial. The reception will be held Nov. 16 following the evening session.
Birthday cake will be served, and Deborah McEniry, AU’s theatre department chair, will make an appearance as Annie Dove Denmark, the school’s longest-serving president (from 1928-1953) and the first female college president in South Carolina. McEniry first took on the role in late September for AU’s production of “The Denmark Story.” The production will continue to tour South Carolina through 2011.
University president Evans Whitaker will provide an update on AU’s progress.
Convention messengers and guests are invited to attend. For more information, contact AU’s Christian life office at 864-231-2077. – AU
