making a difference.

What are our greatest assets?Mays Business School has terrific facilities. Our state-of-the-art classrooms have

the latest technology to aid in teaching. The Wehner building, with its spacious

lecture halls and top-notch computer labs, is beautiful as well as functional and is

a source of pride for all of us.

We can also brag about the excellence of our faculty, who are renowned for their

research as well as their skill as instructors. They teach with passion, and prepare

our students not just for a high-paying career after graduation, but a lifetime of

real success.

And where would we be without our students? Mays students are second-to-none.

They consistently impress me, both with their outstanding academic quality and

with their commitment to giving back to the community and to the world.

Our students, faculty, and facilities are all assets vital to our success. But just

important are our benefactors and other supporters. Indeed, one of our greatest

assets at Mays is you.

You share our vision for sustainable excellence in business education. You make our passion a reality. Without your support we

would not have the means to have such fantastic facilities; we could not afford to attract the finest faculty available; and we would

not be able to give our students the rich and rigorous education they deserve.

Did you know that our accounting students continue to have the highest pass rates in the state of Texas for the CPA exam? Our

MBAs topped the charts in the area of placement after graduation in the latest rankings of America’s best graduate business

schools from U.S. News & World Report. Mays undergraduate program was listed at 10th in the nation among other public

business schools in a recent study by BusinessWeek. These measurable examples of success would not be possible with out you.

Your gifts, be they for faculty endowments, scholarships, programming, or facilities, are making a difference every day at Mays.

As you read through this publication, I hope you will be touched by the students’ stories. I hope you will be impressed with the

faculty we’ve highlighted and the work that they are doing. And I hope you will be inspired by the benefactors who have made

it all possible.

Thank you for partnering with us in this important work.

Sincerely,

“It is every man’s obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.” – Albert Einstein

“...I want the donors that

support me to feel that they’ve made a good investment

in me.” Andrew SpriggS ’11 LAwton, okLAhomA

As a National Merit Achievement Scholar,

Andrew Spriggs could have gone just about

anywhere for his education. Yet out of all of his

college options, this highly intelligent and successful young man

chose Mays.

The offer of substantial scholarships was what first caught Andrew’s eye about

Texas A&M. As the recipient of a President’s Endowed Scholarship, Director’s

Excellence Award, and National Merit Recognition Scholarship, Andrew is able

to attend Mays at no cost. This was important to him, as his father recently retired

from the Army with the rank of Major. Andrew was determined not to burden

his family with his educational expenses while his father transitions from a 20-year

military career into the civilian sector.

Beyond the financial incentive, Andrew was drawn to A&M on his first

visit by the friendliness of the campus. “Even though it’s a big school,

everyone here tries to reach out,” he says. “It really feels like

a big family.”

Andrew recognizes that the donors that fund his

education are an important part of that Aggie family. He

appreciates the opportunity that he’s been given and knows

that it comes with a responsibility. “I feel that there is an

obligation on me now…I want the donors that support me to

feel that they’ve made a good investment in me,” he says.

Rest assured, that investment is bearing divdends. Andrew

is maintaining a 4.0 GPR as a business honors student,

in addition to spending most nights working out

with his teammates on the A&M fencing

squad. Andrew is planning to be an account-

ing major, and intends to graduate from the

Professional Program—achieving his BA and MS in accounting, along with a CPA

certification—in just four years, instead of the usual five.

“No one has ever become poor by giving.” – Anne Frank

A new home in Texas High achieving Aggie finds her place at Mays,

plans for a career in real estate

Tragedy marked Allison Dyer’s life at a young age. When

she was seven years old, a head-on collision with a drunk

driver claimed the life of her mother and aunt. Her father

survived the accident, but was left with permanent

traumatic injuries.

Eventually her father’s injuries prevented him from being

able to drive or continue his work as a teacher, making

insurance settlements their only income. They had enough

to live on, but college became a hard-to-reach dream when

Allison discovered that the insurance money she was

receiving made her ineligible for federal financial aid.

Allison is a high-achieving student with a passion and drive

for her business education. That’s why she chose Texas A&M,

though there were more affordable places closer to home. “I

knew what A&M had to offer and I didn’t want to sacrifice

my college education for the sake of finances…It’s the little

things that make the business program at Mays different

from other schools,” she said. “There’s a focus on gratitude,

respect, and building character right from day one.”

One of the “little things” that makes a difference for

Allison is the Business Honors program at Mays. This

selective program pairs high-achieving students with the

best faculty in a small classroom setting. Allison says honors

has been amazing during her first year as a student.

Allison was awarded the Lorraine and Theodore Dinerstein

’53 Dean’s Endowed Scholarship, which has paid for much

of her freshman year and qualified her for in-state tuition.

“That’s a BIG help,” she says. Allison is immensely grateful

to the donors that are funding her education. “It means so

much more than they can imagine. The money I received is

important, but more than that, giving me this scholarship

means they support me and care about my goals. It’s really

encouraging to know that.”

Though she is not a native Texan, Allison is now a

confirmed transplant. “I love it here,” she says. “I couldn’t

imagine being anywhere else.” She plans to stay in Texas

after she graduates with a degree in marketing and go into

the field of commercial real estate.

right from day one.” ” Allison Dyer ’11

Building a global Aggie reputation Venkatesh Shankar doesn’t use his endowment funds to escape to his “ivory tower.” Instead, he uses them

to make a name for A&M all over the world

Venkatesh Shankar, professor of marketing, has traveled

the world to conduct and present research, but he has not

done it alone. As an endowed chairholder, everywhere he has

gone, he’s taken the name of Brandon Coleman with him.

The name of the benefactor whose gift enables Shankar’s

work is mentioned every time Shankar is introduced at a

conference; when Shankar publishes a paper, Coleman is

acknowledged; and when Shankar gives a business card,

Coleman’s name is there.

Shankar says this is only fair, as the endowed funds

Coleman has provided contribute to the research account

that makes his accolades possible.

“Sometimes the funds that other faculty have are not

adequate if they don’t have an endowment. If you have

an endowed fund to back you up, it allows you to collect

additional data and go the extra mile in your research and

also share the research on a broader scale,” said Shankar,

who sees tremendous value in disseminating his research.

The more A&M students and faculty present at conferences,

the more recognition and respect the school earns on a

global platform, says Shankar. “Overseas, the school is not

as well known as it is within the U.S.…once they get to

know the quality of our work, they are impressed,” he said.

For this reason, Shankar uses much of his endowed fund to

travel and present his research. He also supports his PhD

students in doing the same.

Sometimes the best research topics are also the most

expensive. Shankar says that knowing he has the ability

to pursue what he is passionate about, with little concern

with how he’ll finance it, is very liberating for him and for

his students.

“A faculty member without an endowed fund may have to

tell his or her students ‘you may want to look at a different

dissertation topic…this one’s going to be too expensive

to research.’ The endowment frees up resources for [my

students] to be able to go after the right projects,” he says. “It

allows them to unleash their research and creative energies

in areas where they will have maximum impact.”

Currently, Shankar is using his research account supported

by endowed funds to complete a timely book on China

and India as emerging world superpowers. As part of his

research, Shankar recently traveled to Asia where he con-

ducted research, met with business people, and presented

his research in several settings.

According to Michael Hitt, Texas A&M University

Distinguished Professor of Management, when a Mays

benefactor chooses to endow a chair, that gift has ripples

that will touch thousands of lives.

As the one-time holder of dual endowed positions, he

knows firsthand the difference this type of gift can make. He

holds the Foster Chair in Business Leadership, and recently

stepped down from the C.W. and Dorothy Conn Chair in

New Ventures to allow the honor to pass to someone else in

his department.

Hitt uses much of the endowment monies available to him

for research—for both his projects as well as students. If the

gift’s usefulness can be measured by the accolades Hitt and

his students have garnered, then the money is being well

spent. Hitt and his students continue to publish work that

is making an impact in today’s marketplace. Numerous best

paper and similar awards can be attributed to Hitt or his

guidance over the 20 years he’s been teaching at Mays.

Professional enrichment through travel is also a key benefit

Hitt sees in these endowed funds. Hitt routinely allocates

money to send his students to conferences that will make

them better researchers, better professionals, and better

instructors. Often the students he sends are PhD candidates,

whose attendance at these events also benefits the under-

graduate students they are teaching.

The dollars he spends on his own research enrich Hitt’s

classroom, as he employs real world examples in his

instruction, drawn from his own study. Hitt’s area of

specialty is international strategy, so those travel funds are

especially important. For example, he recently taught a

section about China to MBAs and EMBAs.

“One of the major reasons I can do that is because I’ve

traveled to China and met with scholars and business peo-

ple there a number of times…having the support to be able

to do that has helped me build a store of knowledge about

China that I’ve used in the classroom,” he says. Hitt is also

an honorary dean at the School of Management at China’s

Xi’an Jiaotong University.

There’s more to an endowed gift than the financial

impact. Hitt says that when donors are willing to lend their

name to the school, it’s meaningful to people even outside

of academia.

“Having that title opens doors and allows access to

executives all around the world,” he says. “That name goes

with me anywhere I go…having that endowed position

lends extra credibility and legitimacy to me that help me

do my work.”

As part of his work with the Center for New Ventures

and Entrepreneurship, Hitt recently co-created a new

publication titled Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal. He

has recently been recognized as one of the top 30 most-

cited and most-published authors in the history of the

prestigious Journal of Management. He has also been named

an Inaugural Fellow of the Strategic Management Society.

Big Four, big gifts, big difference Corporate partners impact accounting department

Corporate gifts have a profound impact on Mays Business

School. Not only do they provide funds to expand and

improve our offerings, they also lend the institution

the credibility and prestige of the donor. When a well-

recognized company gives a significant gift to Mays to

establish an endowment, they are also giving their

endorsement. That gift is a statement that they share our

vision for business education.

In the past few years, the Mays accounting department

has had the good fortune to partner with each of the Big

Four accounting firms, creating a strong reputation for

the department, as well as a powerful pipeline for our new

graduates. Accounting firms Deloitte, Ernst & Young, and

KPMG have shown their Aggie spirit with pledge gifts of

more than $500,000 each in the last year. These firms have

been partners in education with Mays Business School for

more than a quarter of a century, and their recent gifts

further cement that bond.

Deloitte

An organization is only as good as its leaders. That’s why

Deloitte & Touche chose to establish the Deloitte Leadership

Professorship in Accounting through its gift of $500,000.

This fund will provide financial support to enhance the

teaching and professional development of the head of the

accounting department.

It is fitting that the initial appointee to this professorship

is James Benjamin, as he has been at the helm of the

accounting department since 1982 and on the Mays

faculty since 1974.

“We are especially thrilled that we can endow this professor-

ship at a time when Jim Benjamin is leading the accounting

When an Aggie passes on, it does not have to be the end of

their influence in this world. Through the pain of tragedy,

many find comfort in creating a tribute gift to a fallen

Aggie. This was the case when Sam Svoboda ’82 passed

away in May of 2007.

“[Svoboda] was a fervent Aggie,” said David Donnelly,

partner in the accounting firm of Gainer, Donnelly &

Desroches (GD&D). Svoboda had worked for the firm since

1993, and he and Donnelly were long-time friends as well as

business partners.

After Svoboda’s death, the friends he left behind wished

to honor his memory in a way that would be meaningful.

And so the Sam C. Svoboda ’82 Endowed Scholarship Fund

for Aggie Accounting Majors was established at Mays with

a $50,000 gift from his friends, clients and colleagues at

GD&D.

“He was not only a leader in the firm, but a leader in the

profession,” said Donnelly. Through this gift, Donnelly said

he hoped to create a legacy in the name of his colleague

while establishing a more dynamic relationship between

Mays and GD&D, in fitting with Svoboda’s Aggie spirit.

“It is truly wonderful when one individual touches the lives

of others in such a way that they are willing to honor his

memory through such a generous gift,” said Ricky Griffin,

interim dean. “Future Aggie accounting majors will have the

opportunity to pursue their own dreams with the support

of this endowment.”

As a businessman,

Brad Almond ’89 knows

the value of international

business relations. As a

human being, Almond

appreciates the importance

of understanding among

peoples of diverse

backgrounds. That’s the

reason he has committed

$25,000 to Mays to establish the Cathy and Bradley C.

Almond ’89 Endowed Scholarship, which will provide study

abroad scholarships to business students.

Travel early in his life forever shaped Almond’s own

experiences. “I caught the international bug early on,” said

Almond who spent several years of his youth in Indonesia.

Almond further stretched his horizons when he participated

in a study abroad program in Helsinki, Finland, as a graduate

student and then took jobs for multinational companies,

working in Paris and Tokyo.

“I believe that there is great business and personal value

to a student starting on a path to becoming a citizen of

the world,” said Almond. “Once you immerse yourself in

a different culture you become so much more diplomatic

and aware, and you come to a better understanding of all

cultures.”

Almond knows that study abroad is often not an option for

students who are paying for college themselves and who

cannot afford to take a semester off of work. “I wanted to

provide funds for those students,” he said.

Currently, Almond is the CFO of Voyager Learning Co., a

publicly traded company that creates children’s educational

curriculum. Almond and his wife, Cathy, have three

children.

department,” said Chip D’Andrea, managing partner,

Deloitte & Touche, Houston Audit Services. “Jim has

been the constant and guiding force for the program’s

continued ascent as a nationally recognized top tier

accounting program. To have him be the first recipient

of our professorship is extremely gratifying to Deloitte

Aggies.”

Benjamin acknowledged the committed teamwork between

Mays and Deloitte, noting that the corporate partner had

been very involved with the development of the program,

including service on the advisory council, in addition to

continued financial support. Deloitte has also endowed both

a professorship for the director of the Professional Program

and a significant scholarship fund for accounting majors.

“Just as important, Deloitte is also significant as a leading

recruiter of our students,” said Benjamin.

Chris Patton, Deloitte’s partner in charge of recruiting at

Texas A&M, also recognized this alliance. “We’ve found

there to be a great fit between Mays students and Deloitte

culture. We hire more candidates out of Mays than any

other school in the area.”

Ernst & YoungMays is providing a vital service to its corporate partners

by training the brightest young minds in accounting and by

conducting research that improves practices and makes a

firm stronger. Ernst & Young recognizes this benefit.

“Investing in the work at A&M is really an investment in

our own future…we continue to hire more and more

phenomenal students from A&M,” said Ellen Glazerman,

executive director of the Ernst & Young Foundation, also

citing innovations in faculty research that pertain to the

accounting industry. “We want to be part of an on-going

collaboration,” she said.

Their $500,000 gift will be used to establish the Ernst

& Young Professional Program Learning Endowment,

supporting faculty, students, facilities, and technology in

the Professional Program.

The Professional Program is the premier program in the

accounting department, training the most dedicated students

to graduate in five years with a BBA in accounting and an MS

in accounting, finance, MIS, or marketing/e-commerce.

In recognition of this gift, the suite of offices occupied by

the Professional Program staff has been named in honor of

Ernst & Young. Benjamin says that this kind of “branding”

can be of great value to organizations that want to attract

new graduates. It’s also of value to the students as the Ernst

& Young gift enriches their education through faculty

training, guest speakers, updated technology, and support

for student competitions and conferences.

KPMGAccording to David Hicks, senior development officer at

Mays, when a donor gives the final installment of a large

gift, usually there is a sigh of relief and a pause in giving.

That was not the case with KPMG. They recently

concluded a five-year pledge gift of $500,000 for an endowed

professorship, and as soon as that was fully funded asked,

“What can we do next?”

KPMG has now committed to a gift of $550,000 for endowed

scholarships in accounting. This is a very timely action,

as Mays has recently announced a scholarship campaign

called “Endowing the Future,” which is seeking just this type

of gift.

“Our firm has a legacy of giving, and we didn’t intend to stop,”

said Randall Hill, a partner at KPMG’s Dallas office who

graduated from Mays with his BBA in accounting in 1983.

“We’ve been fortunate enough to hire some great students

from Mays…they have the initiative, motivation and

personality to do well in this field. We want to do everything

we can to keep this program strong.”

Hill says that the firm examined its past giving and decided

that their current gift should more directly benefit the

students, so that Mays can “continue to attract the best and

brightest students to the accounting program.”

When it comes down to it, Benjamin says that state funding

for education is “adequate” for a solid program, but these

corporate gifts allow for excellence.

This excellence is reflected in recent rankings in which

Mays students scored the highest overall pass rate in the

state on the CPA exam at 83 percent, according to the Texas

State Board of Public Accountancy. The overall pass rate

nationwide is less than 44 percent while the average pass

rate in Texas is 54.8 percent.

“Our student success on the exam suggests that they are well

prepared and highly motivated,” said Benjamin, who credits

some of the students’ success to the donors that have such

an impact on their education.

“Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.”– Albert Camus

In a world of scam-artists

and dubious schemes,

charitable giving can

sometimes be a scary

business. When it comes

to giving to Texas A&M,

Robyn and Alan Roberts

say they aren’t afraid.

“There are lots of things

that you can give to. When

we give funds we want to be sure that they are going to be

used well and used in the way that we expect. We have that

confidence in A&M,” said Robyn.

The couple, who hails from Giddings, Texas, has established

a $250,000 endowment with the Texas A&M Foundation.

This matching gift will fund the establishment of the

Robyn L. ’89 and Alan B. Roberts ’78/Center for Executive

Development Undergraduate Scholars Program.

Robyn Roberts says that she and her husband are very happy

to be able to give back to the school that has meant so much

to their personal and professional lives. “We love coming

back to A&M. We love the fellowship there,” she said, also

sharing her appreciation for the education she received as

well as the Aggie network she’s been able to establish.

Now, the Roberts seek to touch the next generation of

Aggies through their gift. “We want to give people an

opportunity that they might not have any other way. We

want them to have a chance to show their abilities and their

leadership,” said Robyn.

Both accounting majors, Alan and Robyn had a true

Aggie romance, starting when they met at a football

game. The Roberts are co-owners of Pumpco Inc, a

pipeline construction and oilfield leasing company, which

Alan founded in 1981. They have two daughters, Jennifer

and Allyson.

Howard Horne knows

about both business

and personal success.

He also knows that his

success was enriched

by his years at Texas A&M

University. That’s the reason

why he recently included

Mays in his estate plan

with a gift of $500,000.

“I wanted to give back to the school what I felt it’s given to

me,” said Horne. “I know that part of all the success I’ve had

has ties to A&M.”

His gift will establish the Howard Horne ’47 Endowed

Professorship in Commercial Real Estate, which will be used

to recruit and develop a faculty member in the area where

Horne himself has achieved so much.

Horne’s academic career was interrupted by World War II.

After putting his Corps training to use in the Air Force he

finished his degree in business administration. He returned

to his hometown of Houston to join his father’s business,

the W.A. Horne Company.

With Horne’s help, the company flourished, growing from a

three-man operation to a brokerage staffed by 250 people.

Recently Horne sold the company to Cushman & Wakefield,

a global real estate firm, but he still remains active in the

corporation. In this business, Horne says, “you have to

learn to live by your wits.” That’s why he appreciated A&M’s

emphasis on entrepreneurship, which taught him how to

see opportunities and take measured risks. He hopes that

his gift will enable others to enter this exciting field.

Giving to others is a big part of Horne’s life. “It’s necessary

to provide for others what was provided for me…I was not

born into wealth, and that’s why A&M was a godsend for

me. It was affordable.”

Horne has been married to his bride Carrie for 51 years.

They have two children and three grandchildren.

* The apparent decline from 2004-2005 to 2005-2006 reflects a correction to our accounting system.

Until 2005-2006 annual giving and endowment contributions were both included in this category.

However, since endowment contributions do not represent available funds, this category now represents only

non-endowment gifts and contributions.

** Beginning in FY2006-07, we are showing the tuition that is collected and subsequently transferred to Texas A&M University

for the EMBA program.
