President Athletic
& Director
Dr. Evans P. Whitaker was named Anderson’s 12th president on Oct.
18, 2002. Dr. Whitaker has a wealth of experience in the classroom and in academic
administration.“I am impressed with the mission of the college and its emphasis on
the integration of learning and faith,” he said. “The people I met on campus seem to
have a very clear understanding of the school’s mission. Anderson is also positioned
geographically and in other ways to achieve great success in the next 10 years. I am
energized by Anderson’s remarkable progress and its potential to advance to the front
ranks of Christian higher education.”
A native of Shelby N.C., Dr. Whitaker came to Anderson from Belmont University
in Nashville, Tennessee, where he was vice president for university advancement for
six years. He holds a Ph.D. in education and human development from Vanderbilt
University, a master’s degree in institutional advancement from Vanderbilt’s Peabody
College for Teachers and a bachelor of science in business administration from Gardner-
Webb University.
At Belmont, he was a member of the Senior Leadership Team, sharing responsibility for
the general administration (academic affairs, financial and legal affairs, student affairs
and development) for the Baptist school of 3, 344 students.
As vice president for university advancement, he led the institutional advancement division and taught classes
in management, organizational theory and leadership in Belmont’s college of business administration. hUnder his
leadership, alumni giving at Belmont doubled while the endowment grew from $25 million to $50 million. During
his career, Dr. Whitaker has led efforts that have secured more than $153 million in private support.
Prior to his service at Belmont, Dr. Whitaker served as vice president for development at Wingate University,
associate vice president and director of development at Gardner-Webb University, and director of endowment
development for the North Carolina Baptist Foundation.
During his career at Anderson, Dr. Whitaker has led Anderson’s move to university
status, directed the creation of the Vision 2014 plan, and led a capital campaign to raise $8
million for a new library.
Nancy Simpson was named athletic director at Anderson University in June 2007.
Simpson came to Anderson from California State University - San Bernardino where she was
athletic director for 12 years. In her tenure at CSUSB, Simpson was recognized for dramati-
cally improving the quality of the school’s athletic programs, raising grade point averages
for student athletes to 3.22 for the fall quarter of 2006. She also was responsible for overseeing
a men’s basketball program that has won six consecutive conference championships and three
regional championships as well as a women’s volleyball program that won four conference
championships and two regional championships.
She has increased corporate sponsorships and contributions to the athletic program at CSUSB, resulting in the addition of
a 4,200-seat arena and new soccer field. Simpson, a native of Marietta, Ga., graduated from Berry College and earned a
masters degree from Southern Mississippi. She has family in the northeast Georgia area.
In ‘04, CSUSB President Albert Karnig said of Simpson, “She’s a good recruiter of coaches. She’s a good supporter of
coaches and a good colleague with them. Secondly, she really does emphasize the integrity of the program. Thirdly, and
this is really, really important, almost all of our kids carry themselves nicely. And finally, they are increasingly winning
teams.” Mrs. Simpson, in addition to her athletic department duties, is also a member of the Senior Leadership Team at
Anderson, which works closely with the president to provide the executive leadership of the University.
“We feel very blessed to have attracted such a seasoned athletic director to our campus,” said AU president Dr. Evans
Whitaker. “In choosing Mrs. Simpson, the advisory committee members and I were particularly impressed with her
exceptional qualifications and her reputation as a skilled athletic administrator, a genuine people-person and an individual
of integrity. We are confident in her ability to build on a tradition of excellence in athletics at Anderson University. I
welcome her to our staff and look forward to working with her in the years ahead.”

Pure Gold Builds
AU Spirit!!!
Anderson University has a new cheering section that is Pure Gold. Pure Gold is a new tradition
for Anderson athletics. Several AU students decided to start the group to increase school pride and
support the school’s athletic teams.
Members of Pure Gold wear a black t-shirt that features the chemical symbol for gold (Au)
on the front and “Pure Gold” on the back. Pure gold will be promoted by the athletic
department, admissions, and alumni relations.
The Pure Gold t-shirt will become a special item on campus. The shirt will be a
visible sign of school spirit and support for AU’s athletic teams. There is a special
section for Pure Gold at Anderson’s home basketball games – at mid-court across
from the team benches. Pure Gold members are required to stand when the
ball is in play and actively cheer for the Trojans and Lady Trojans.
