Upon arriving at Belhaven, he played four years of tennis. His teams were undefeated in conference play and won four conference championships. The team also finished in the top ten of the NAIA Tennis Tournament. Thomas was a three-year manager for the men's basketball team.
He graduated from Belhaven in 1997, with a BS in Health and Physical Education with a History minor. He became a graduate assistant coach at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi. Upon graduating with his Master's Degree in Kinesiology in 1993, he embarked on a 31-year coaching career in coaching basketball at all levels.

Thomas has been a long-time raving fan of Belhaven. His support for his alma mater stands out on multiple levels. He is well known for traveling the 222 miles from his front door to "The Haven" at the drop of a hat and a single phone call. Although his first loves are Tennis and Basketball, Mr "Ibleedpurpleandgold" has been known to show up for the Belhaven Music Department, Blazer Football, and to make a 1408 mile round trip drive to give the half time pep talk to the men of Belhaven Soccer.

Kim Duhs was born in New Orleans but moved to Brandon, MS, shortly after. She completed her education in the Brandon schools and graduated in 1976. Kim began her college education at Belhaven College in 1976 at the age of 16 years old. She wanted to attend Mississippi State University, but her father insisted that she stay closer to home because of her young age. He always told her she could transfer, but he knew that she would love Belhaven and would never want to leave. He was right!
Kim was not sure of her major when she was in her freshman year, but she had always loved working with children, so she decided to take some education classes. Her first class, Child Psychology, with Bettye Quinn, sealed the deal! She took every class she could from Bettye Quinn, her favorite professor. She is humbled to receive this award in her honor.
She earned a BS in Elementary Education in 1980. Upon graduation from Belhaven, Kim taught remediation classes at Pisgah High School and, years later, began teaching preschool at her church, Lakeside Presbyterian Church. She also served as the Preschool Director there before working at First Presbyterian Day School to be close to her children. She served as Company Director for a year before accepting a teaching position in the kindergarten. Kim taught kindergarten for 24 years and loved every minute of her job!
Kim is now the Kindergarten Principal at First Presbyterian Day School, serving families with children in K3, K4, and K5 classes. She loves her school and enjoys being a part of the First Pres. family. She has seen so many of her kids grow up, and some of her former students are now teaching at the Day School with her.
She is married to Lindsey Duhs, and they have two children, Seth (Roberta) and Carlee. She has three precious grandchildren, Vivian (5), Iris (3), and Boaz (18 months). Vivian is joining her at school this year as a kindergartener.

Chuck McArthur grew up in Jackson and was the third in his family to come to Belhaven. God captured his affections while in the 9th grade while active in the youth ministry of Alta Woods Presbyterian Church. By the time he entered Belhaven, he had a strong sense of God's call to ministry. Godly theologians like Drs. Ralph Davis, Knox Chamblin, and George Hunsburger taught him how to study God's Word from a position of humility. Meanwhile, Belhaven provided him the opportunity to grow as a leader and Bible study teacher with his peers. He graduated in 1981 with a BA in Bible and Christian Education.
During his senior year, he started dating the one who would become his wife of 42 years, Sheree DuBois from Ft. Lauderdale. Since living on a small campus provides the opportunity to "date" several times every day, they were excited to be married the September after graduation. After serving as a youth pastor for two years, they moved to Liberia, W. Africa, to teach at the African Bible College along with their three-month-old son. This 2-year commitment would end up shaping the course of his life.
After three wonderful years at RTS Jackson, they and their three sons moved to Eustis, FL, to plant and pastor New Hope PCA. Eight years later, God called them to plant Cross Creek PCA in Northeast FL, where he served for 14 years. During this time, he made a return trip to Liberia that resulted in his church helping to rebuild the Bible College after Liberia's 13-year civil war and later teaching there for several summers.
It was after one of those trips that God made it clear that it was time to resign from the pastorate and join a young mission agency called Equipping Leaders International (ELI) and focus on training global pastors. Five years later, the board asked him to become their new Executive Director. He has served in that position for eight years, during which time the faculty has grown from 13 to 53. ELI is currently working in 34 least-resourced countries around the world, training 56 different networks of pastors. It is estimated that 3 million people are currently benefiting from those ELI has or is training. In Liberia alone, Chuck works with 46 Liberian trainers who recently graduated 628 church leaders from their 15-course pastor-training curriculum.
Dr. Jarrett R. Morgan is a native Mississippian. He graduated from Belhaven University in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. He went on to complete both medical school and a residency in combined Internal Medicine and Pediatrics from the University of MS Medical Center, and is now triple board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Obesity Medicine.
Following residency, he acted as Chief Resident of Pediatrics for the 2019-2020 academic year before joining the UMMC faculty as Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. He has been fortunate to also carry numerous clinical, educational, and administrative roles at UMMC, including caring for adult and pediatric patients for Primary Care and Weight Management needs in his outpatient practice. He has also worked as an adult and pediatric hospitalist.
Fostering his love for education, he now oversees Internal Medicine and Pediatric residents as an attending physician in both outpatient and inpatient settings. In early 2022, he accepted a position at UMMC as an Assistant Program Director of Pediatrics. He currently also serves as a Co-Course Director of the first-year medical school course, Introduction to the Medical Profession, which teaches medical students the basic skills of how to communicate with patients, physical exam skills, and other aspects of general medical care.
In his spare time, he enjoys reading, listening to music, spending time with his family, and attending NBA basketball games (when his career allots J). Jarrett is a faithful believer since early childhood and daily seeks to live out Biblical principles and incorporate them into his practice of Medicine and his interactions with students, residents, fellow providers, and patients.
Cade Trisler grew up in Vicksburg, MS, the middle child of three siblings in a very typical "middle America" family. While attending Warren Central High School, Cade embarked on his landscaping journey at the age of 13. Cade's hard work and dedication paid off as he successfully managed to acquire over 40 accounts for his landscaping business.
Following his passion for soccer, Cade enrolled at Belhaven University, playing on a partial scholarship. Cade was a part of the 1992 National Championship squad, was 1994 Most Improved Player of the Year, and was Team Co-Captain in 1995. Cade graduated with a degree in Biology in 1995.
After graduation, Cade made the decision to turn his passion for lawns into a full-fledged business, and completed a degree in Landscape Management from Hinds Community College. In 1995, Cade established Trisler Landscape, an enterprise focused on delivering exceptional landscaping services to a diverse clientele, including both residential and commercial customers.
Over the years, Cade has successfully cultivated a distinguished reputation within the industry. Cade and his team are dedicated to continued education in their craft, leading their employees efficiently and effectively with the goal of maintaining high standards of quality.
A crucial member of Cade's team is his wife, DeJuana Trisler. While Cade leans towards managing the business, DeJuana, "Mama D," takes care of their people. Understanding the rule, "take care of your people, and they will take care of the customers," they value their team members and focus on what God's plan is for their employees. They strive to love their people whether they are there for a day, a year, or decades, wanting them to become the person that God has created them to be. Driven by their faith, Cade and DeJuana foster an environment of inspiration and motivation by instilling daily their mantra of "Love God, Love Others & Change the World." They work hard and play hard.
The Trislers are raising five boys and are members of Pine Lake church, where Cade is in his third year serving as a Deacon.
Violinist, Jocelyn Zhu, earned her Bachelor of Arts from Belhaven University in 2014 at the age of 14 under the tutelage of Professor Song Xie. Upon graduation, she moved to New York City, where she completed her master’s degree at The Juilliard School.

Bringing music to refugees across the globe, Jocelyn has traveled to three continents alongside the United Nations, The Red Cross, and Support International. She has been invited as a guest presenter at the Peace First Summit, The Juilliard School, and National Sawdust.
Jocelyn has appeared on Good Morning America, PBS, The Today Show, and WQXR’s Young Artist Showcase. As a chamber artist, her most memorable and joyful performances have included appearances with the Chelsea Music Festival and The Perlman Music Program with Itzhak Perlman.

Currently, Jocelyn is teaching a vibrant studio of over 40 musicians, many of whom have gone on to study at prestigious institutions including The Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, and Mannes School of Music. When she isn’t practicing, she is vigorously searching for the best new bowl of ramen in Manhattan.
