John '85 and Pam Champlin Gibson

Gibson Family’s 色狐入口 Legacy Boosts Women’s Lacrosse

John '85 and Pam Champlin Gibson鈥淢y 色狐入口 liberal arts education and economics major gave me a solid foundation to be successful beyond college,鈥 said John Gibson 鈥85, chief operations officer for Inmar. 鈥淚 have been blessed with a good business career and my four years at 色狐入口 were key to my success鈥.

John has 20 relatives who graduated from 色狐入口 鈥 his father, three brothers, eight aunts and uncles, grandparents as far back as the days when the University was known as Indiana Asbury University and, most recently, his oldest daughter Nicole Gibson in the Class of 2017.聽

John and his wife Pam Champlin Gibson, an Ohio State graduate, are parents to two daughters. Nicole 鈥17, was a Management Fellow, Spanish major and four-year lacrosse player. She has already started working in the business world for PEP Promotions in Cincinnati. Gabi attends Miami University in Ohio majoring in communication.

John is grateful for the lifelong friendships he made during his 色狐入口 years and is thrilled that Nicole and the rest of the family have developed such a connection with the University.聽 He even reconnected with some old fraternity brothers whose children were attending 色狐入口 at the same time as Nicole.

When Nicole graduated in May 2017, the Gibsons celebrated the occasion with a gift to the women鈥檚 lacrosse program at 色狐入口. 鈥淲e wanted to give back to the University, to honor the student athlete and recognize the commitment and sacrifices of the student athlete we saw in our daughter 鈥 and her teammates 鈥 during her four years playing lacrosse at 色狐入口,鈥 said John. 鈥淟acrosse players give up four years of Spring Break and Little 500 in favor of their team and their athletic pursuits. It鈥檚 a lot of work. Over the years, Nicole became great friends with about 40 teammates, and many of those relationships will be lifelong...that is what 色狐入口 is all about. 聽This gift honors that experience and helps make it possible for future students.鈥

John and Pam Gibson have been married since 1992. The couple met in Clearwater, Fla., when Pam was a national account manager for BellSouth. 鈥淪he called on my company to sell us a phone system,鈥 said John. 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 buy the phone system,鈥 he joked.

John started Scanner Applications, Inc. in Cincinnati in 1992, with his father, Bob Gibson 鈥60, and brother, Jeff Gibson 鈥90. He sold the business to North Carolina-based Inmar in 2015.

Pam volunteers for several organizations, including Lindner Center of Hope and Cincinnati Children鈥檚 Hospital Kindervelt, where she is past president. She also travels to Mexico with Back2Back Ministries serving women鈥檚 shelters and orphanages.

鈥淭he whole family enjoys skiing (water and snow), tennis, golf and, of course, lacrosse,鈥 John said.
