We are happy to present this year’s edition of the Foundation Annual Report, a comprehensive report on the financial and fundraising activities of the Missouri State University Foundation throughout Fiscal Year 2010, which ran July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010 .

Inside you’ll find a timeline that highlights the major events of the year, profiles on some of the University’s outstanding supporters and stories about the progress happening on campus .

Missouri State has had another tremendous year —in fact, the Foundation set a new record for fundraising for the third year in a row and the number of alumni donors increased from the year before .

The University could not have made these accomplishments without your help . This publication is for you to see the success and celebrate with us . It’s a way for us to show that we are being good stewards of the resources you have so generously shared with us . But most importantly, it’s a way for us to say we are grateful .

Thanks to all of our supporters for making Missouri State University an outstanding institution!

Dear Alumni, Donors and Friends:

Someone once pointed out that my family revolves around Missouri State. It’s true — and I’m fine with that!

I met my wife Glenna in the 1950s on campus and we have kept close ties to the school ever since. We have both served on the alumni board at different times, we love Bears basketball and we attend Homecoming almost every year. Both of our children, Craig and Cyndi, are Missouri State graduates. So is Craig’s wife. Our next generation is also full of Bear spirit: Many of our nephews and nieces are either alumni or on campus now.

Glenna and I have seen Missouri State transition from a regional college with five or six buildings to a major university. I am proud of the direction of my alma mater, and I was glad to serve this year as the chair of the Missouri State University Foundation Board of Trustees. Trustees are supporters of Missouri State who advise the Foundation in matters of planning, seeking and investing gifts for the future of Missouri State.

The Board of Trustees structure is new to the Foundation — previously, it had a Board of Directors. The group was restructured this year in order to move toward increasing involvement from University supporters from around the country. This move comes as the Foundation prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary, and it is an important step that paves the way for the next 30 years of growth and helps the University boost its profile nationwide.

As chair of the Board of Trustees, I am proud to tell you that the Foundation had a record-breaking year for the third year in a row. That means scholarships for students, strong academic programs and more campus updates. It feels great to know my school has a promising future.

Glenna and I are happy to be among those who give back — and not just because we love the University, but because we know the financial realities. The state provides only about 30 percent of the cost of running the University. A few years ago we decided to establish three scholarships. When we went to college we were on extremely limited means, and that’s putting it nicely. We want to help now that we are in a position to do so.

I hope the recipients of these gifts feel the benefits of their education for the rest of their lives, and I hope future generations learn to love Missouri State as much as I have.

I want to thank all of you for being supporters of Missouri State. Your contributions show your admiration for this school and make it a great place to live and learn. Go Bears!

Sincerely,

Larry Frazier Chair, Missouri State University Foundation Board of Trustees

Missouri State University is special to me for many reasons, and my position here is more than a job — it’s a passion.

My involvement with Missouri State goes back more than two decades. I have been an undergradu-ate student, a graduate student, a young hire — and now the vice president for University Advancement. I am in my 25th year of service to the University, and not a day goes by in which I am not grateful for all of the doors this wonderful place has opened for me.

One of the best things about my job is meeting people who want to invest in the future of Missouri State. It is with sincerity that I say thank you.

Thank you for another record-breaking year for the Missouri State University Foundation — the third in a row. So many people contributed to our total of $15,512,371. Private support is vital to the success of the University; in fact, it may be more im-portant now than at almost any time in our history. In 1985, my last year as an undergraduate student, the state of Missouri provided about 69 percent of the University’s operating budget. During the 2010-11 academic year, that had dropped to about 30 percent. So you can see how your gifts make an immediate difference.

Thank you for supporting Our Promise: The Campaign for Missouri State. This is an effort that will encourage millions of dollars in new private investments. The campaign had been going on in a quiet phase, but since we announced it to the public in August 2009 the support has been unbelievable. We are now approaching our $125 million goal.

Thank you for paving the way as we head into the future. As you know, the University is changing leaders. Dr. Michael Nietzel, our former president, has been an advocate for strong relationships with our alumni and friends. Dr. Nietzel’s commitment to the advancement of this University through private giving has made a lasting impact. Dr. James E. Cofer Sr., our current president, is committed to strength-ening current relationships and developing new ones. Dr. Cofer plans to lead Missouri State Univer-sity into the future and knows the pivotal role played by private support. We’ll give you the chance to meet Dr. Cofer through upcoming events.

Lastly, thank you for three wonderful decades: 2011 marks the 30th anniversary of the Missouri State University Foundation.

It’s obvious I have a lot of gratitude to send your way. That’s because I was once a student who worked and received financial aid. I am in this role today thanks to people just like you. I have had the honor of watching this University transform into an incred-ible place in large part because of generous contribu-tors who believe in Missouri State like I do.

We had such a great year, and we can’t thank you enough for your ongoing support.

Sincerely,

W. Brent DunnVice President for University Advancement and Executive Director, Missouri State University Foundation

FROM THE FORMER PRESIDENT


One of the true surprises I had as president of Mis-souri State University was the hundreds of alumni and friends whose feelings for the University were nothing short of love. It was as inspiring as it was surprising. It was from those deep-seeded feelings that we were able to make such great progress in private fundraising during the past five years. The year 2009-10 was no exception.

This past year, for the third year in a row, the Missouri State University Foundation set a record for giving. The significance of this giving is not the record itself, but what the record allows the Univer-sity to accomplish. Because of the generosity of our donors, more students have financial aid to attend Missouri State; more faculty and staff have support for their programs; more has been achieved through special activities such as music groups, debate and athletics, just to name a few; and more facilities have been improved for our students.

This past year, I was especially pleased to be involved with the second-largest single gift com-mitment in the University history: the gift of the Journagan Ranch. The satisfaction Leo Journagan and his family felt in making the gift commitment was exceeded only by the excitement of agriculture students who will benefit from its use for generations to come.

Also this past year, we were honored to name our first academic units for donors. We now have

the William H. Darr School of Agriculture and the Bernice Warren Center for Archaeological Research, both appropriately named for donors long associated with Missouri State. I am confident that there will be more such namings in the future.

I want to personally thank the many donors with whom I have worked during the past five years. It has been a privilege to hear your stories of success and how Missouri State helped you along the way. All of us at the University appreciate your willingness to give back to others so that they, too, can benefit from a higher education at Missouri State.

Finally, I urge you to continue to support the University and President Jim Cofer in the future. Now more than ever, Missouri State University needs its entire family — faculty, staff, students, alumni, friends — to pull together toward a common goal of making Missouri State better. You have made a difference in the past; you can make a difference in the future.

All my best,

Michael T. NietzelPresident2005-10

FROM THE PRESIDENT


Deborah and I are thrilled to be in Springfield and at Missouri State University. By the time you read this, we will have already met many of you, and we will meet many more of you in the coming year. With the work of President Nietzel during the past five years and with Vice President Brent Dunn’s work, we have “hit the ground running,” as they say. I am quite confident it will be a whirlwind 60 to 90 days for us, but we also are positive that it will be an exciting, challenging, and rewarding time.

Many factors position Missouri State University to meet the challenges of the next several years: The strength of the faculty, staff and students; the sound financial condition, including the history of success of the Foundation; the powerful potential of the public affairs mission; the Springfield community and Ozarks region; and much more. These are the factors that made Missouri State attractive and drew Deborah and me here.

It might be helpful for you to know that I operate from a set of three personal core values which guide my major decisions: 1) Academic Excellence — academic excellence is approached through diligent effort, both individual and collective; 2) Respect — mutual respect, respect for one’s self and for others, is the foundation of honor and the basis of integrity. It is respect that embraces the diversity in our soci-ety; and 3) Responsibility — accepting responsibil-ity and acting responsibly are interrelated virtues;

personal responsibility requires first a careful, honest reflection on one’s moral obligations.

Missouri State, like all of higher education, will have challenges to face in the next two to three years. One of the most difficult will be the budget and its impact on access to higher education, the excel-lence of our academic programs, and vitality of the University that all of us admire and respect. As it has in the past, the Foundation will play a key role in providing a combination of financial stability and the margin of difference.

We also need to remain committed to complet-ing the Our Promise: The Campaign for Missouri State. Much work has been done and many of you have participated so far. We need to continue the momentum and reach the $125 million goal as quickly as possible. I look forward to celebrating that milestone with you.

Again, thank you for welcoming Deborah and me. We look forward to working with each of you to advance Missouri State University.

Sincerely,

James E. Cofer, Sr.President2010-Present

Our Promise: The Campaign for Missouri State, the most ambitious comprehensive campaign in the history of the University, was launched Aug. 28 on the Springfield campus.

Our Promise has a target of $125 million, the largest fundraising goal ever set at the University. This is “a very ambitious goal,” said former University president Michael T. Nietzel, but by no means an unobtainable one.

It was necessary to initiate a campaign because the University is state-assisted, not totally state-funded. Financial support from the state is not guaranteed — and the support that Missouri State receives does not fulfill all the needs of the University. Generous private support increases opportunities for students, improves the campus and helps Missouri State remain a world-class institution.

“If you look past the dollar sign and the zeroes, Our Promise is ultimately about people — the men and women who will acquire knowledge and fulfill their educational dreams at Missouri State University,” said Thomas Strong, one of the co-chairs of the Our Promise campaign steering committee.

The campaign has been pursuing support for several areas:

• Scholarships for students, so Missouri State may open its doors to the best and brightest regardless of their ability to pay;• Faculty endowments, gifts that reward great faculty and allow Missouri State to attract and retain national-caliber educators and researchers;• New facilities and renovation of existing ones;• Enhancement of academic programs;• Community engagement; and• Investment in the West Plains campus.

When the campaign was publicly announced in August, $93,934,531 had been raised toward the total. All gifts made during the campaign period count toward the goal, and several exciting major gifts have been announced since the campaign kicked off — including the ones highlighted in this report.

“In many ways, we have all benefited from our association with Missouri State University,” said Ramona McQueary, one of the co-chairs of the Our Promise campaign steering committee. “By supporting the campaign, we have the opportunity to give something back. Together through our belief in the mission of Missouri State University, we will continue to ensure that this is a University of distinction — dedicated to excellence in education and to meeting the needs of society today and into the future.”

Greenwood Laboratory School kicked off a campaign this year to build a new addition dedicated to science education.

Students in kindergarten through high school may attend Greenwood, which is on the campus of Missouri State University. Greenwood’s presence ensures that Missouri State University education majors may observe a real-world teaching environment.

Greenwood has been a part of the University’s education department since 1908, and is known for high academic standards. All of the graduates go on to institutions of higher learning. Many students spend their entire elementary and secondary educational careers on the campus, and many Greenwood alumni send their children to the school.

Greenwood has been in the same building since 1966, and the science facilities have not had any significant facelifts since that time. It is only appropriate that Greenwood should have state-of-the-art science laboratories, because their graduates have pursued science and medical careers for generations. They have also been recognized for their work in school: Greenwood students have won at least

one out of the two grand prizes at the Ozarks Engineering and Science Fair every year since 1998.

The planned addition, known as the Greenwood Science Scholars’ Laboratory, will feature two 1,800-square-foot classrooms. One area will be used for biology and earth sciences. The other will be equipped for chemistry and physics. The flexible laboratory environments will offer the latest technology for scientific learning and research.

As of this summer, more than $2 million of the $2.5 million goal had been raised. The campaign had a generous lead gift from the McQueary family. An anonymous donor also contributed greatly by pledging to match all new gifts collected during a set period this summer, up to a total of $600,000.

Greenwood hopes to start using the facilities in August 2011.

Thanks to all those who are helping the Greenwood Bluejays get a new wing!

This year, Leo Journagan and his family gave the University the second-largest testamentary gift commitment in Missouri State’s history: A working ranch consisting of more than 3,300 acres with buildings, equipment and cattle.

The ranch in Douglas County is about 60 miles from the Springfield campus and about 10 miles from the Mountain Grove campus.

This gift is going to take agriculture education at Missouri State to a new level. Students will have the chance to see the seven-days-a-week operations of a ranch, including delivering calves, giving veterinary care and getting the animals ready for sale at stockyards and auctions.

The main focus of the Journagan Ranch operation is raising purebred Polled Herefords. The ranch has the 15th-largest herd of Polled Herefords in the United States. There are about 1,000 cattle on the property; 243 were in the initial gift and more will pass to the University in stages. With this transfer, Missouri State has one of the largest Hereford herds associated with a university in the United States.

Academic programs on the land are expected to start in fall 2010. The ranch has

almost limitless possibilities for research in topics including biology, forestry, geology, genetics, plant science, soil quality and erosion, water quality and wildlife conservation.

Leo, the founder of Journagan Construction Company, has been buying the parcels of land that make up the ranch since the mid-1960s. He and his family — wife Jean, son Allen and daughter Jill — wanted to make sure the land would stay together long into the future.

“After this decision, I feel good,” Leo said. Allen and Jill are thrilled that their father’s

legacy will be maintained. “This is not about the Journagans,” Allen

said. “It’s about the possibility of that ranch serving as a classroom. This is a gift to an institution that can put it to use to best educate future agriculture leaders.”

Missouri State students will soon have a new fitness facility where they can jog, run, swim, lift weights or shoot baskets to their hearts’ content.

The University Recreation Center, to be located on the northwest corner of Madison Street and Kings Avenue, will have a variety of resources, including a 7,000-square-foot pool with lap lanes and a water-current channel. Students seeking adventure will be able to tackle rock climbing and bouldering walls. Teams can challenge each other on the basketball courts. Those just wanting to unwind after a tough day of classes can find relaxation in a spa and sauna.

This $29.7 million addition to campus is being funded through a fee that students voted to place on themselves as well as private gifts, including a significant private gift that helped make the Rec Center a reality. A great deal of thanks goes to those who have made contributions. Those gifts will benefit countless Missouri State students for

years to come by giving health and wellness a boost on campus. The center will also attract and retain future Bears, since many students say they look at a school’s wellness facilities when deciding where to attend.

“The center will meet and exceed the recreation, wellness and social needs of the student of this campus for generations, while at the same time continue to put Missouri State on the cutting edge of innovative education,” said Andrew Garton, the former student chairman of the University Recreation Center steering committee.

Groundbreaking took place April 16. Missouri State is now looking forward to the next major celebration — the grand opening, expected in fall 2011.

The Willow Brook facility, a former poultry processing plant in downtown Springfield, stood empty when Missouri State purchased it in 2009.

Thanks to a generous gift from the Robert W. Plaster Foundation, it now has a new name and the University has the resources to begin renovations.

A seven-figure gift from the Robert W. Plaster Foundation will help Missouri State create the Robert W. Plaster Center for Free Enterprise and Business Development.

Stephen Plaster, chairman of the Foundation and son of late businessman Robert W. Plaster, was on hand May 27 for the announcement of the gift. He said his father was an advocate of free enterprise and would also approve of supporting the University.

After it is renovated, the center will house a business incubator. Business incubators are programs that support and encourage entrepreneurs in a variety of ways.

The center will also house the University’s technology and construction management program.

The building will be a major part of the IDEA Commons, a downtown research park that

combines residential, retail and entertainment facilities with University programs. IDEA stands for innovation, design, entrepreneurship and arts.

“This gift and the naming of the facility allow us to take a significant step forward in the development of the IDEA Commons,” former Missouri State President Michael T. Nietzel said at the gift’s public announcement. “We very much appreciate the Robert W. Plaster Foundation investing in this venture.”

Phase I work has already started with the installation of a new roof.

The exterior and interior work will be completed in two more phases. Phase II will be completed by the end of 2011 and Phase III will be done by fall semester 2012.

“We very much appreciate the Plaster family’s long association with Missouri State University,” said Brent Dunn, Missouri State University Foundation executive director and vice president for university advancement. “From the Plaster Student Union to the Plaster Sports Complex to many other initiatives, the Plaster family has been there to enrich the college experience for our students. This funding for this center just continues that long relationship.”

Gifts to the West Plains annual fund continue to change lives.

Thanks to the generosity of donors, the West Plains campus has been able to offer emergency grants to students to help cover unexpected costs ranging from car repairs to medical bills. These emergency grants have helped students stay in school and fulfill their dreams of earning an education and improving their lives.

This is the second year the West Plains campus has offered the emergency grants to its students. In the second year of the program, the campus had a 100 percent increase in applications and awarded 41 grants to students in need. These grants have undoubtedly made a difference in the lives of their recipients because a large majority of the students who received them have completed the semester, re-enrolled or graduated.

Students who receive emergency grants know that sometimes a small gift makes all the difference. Nearly 40 percent of those who attend West Plains are nontraditional students who work, raise children and attend classes, and 85 percent of students receive financial aid. Often, situations that may be mere speed bumps for an average

college student can become major financial pitfalls for these students. Thanks to the emergency grants students are able to be relieved from financial strain and focus on their education.

Sandy Roach is a West Plains nursing student who graduated in spring 2010 after receiving an emergency grant in 2009 to help with her family’s rent. “Sometimes a little means everything,” Sandy said. “Thanks to all who donate.”

What is annual giving?If you have ever said yes to a contribution when Missouri State calls, writes a letter or sends an email, you have participated in annual giving. These regular fundraising events and activities, such as the phone campaign, are some of the University’s primary sources of ongoing financial support from alumni and other friends. The money raised from annual gifts contributes to the University’s total budget. Many people give unrestricted gifts to annual campaigns, meaning the money may be used in areas where the need is greatest. Others give to specific areas, such as a scholarship or a certain department on campus.

Why is this type of gift important?Annual giving is one of the most direct ways you can contribute to the success of Missouri State and our students. We are a public university, but the state can only afford to cover about 30 percent of what it takes for each student to receive an education. The fees and tuition paid by students do not cover the remaining amount it takes to operate Missouri State. Therefore, the money raised through annual giving supports the University every single day, in every single way. Annual giving helps pay for everything from faculty salaries and research equipment to library resources and building maintenance.

Why should I participate in

annual giving? You can make a big difference even if you pledge a small amount each year. Each person’s contribution adds up when combined with the annual gifts of other alumni, friends, parents, faculty, staff and students.

You provide a massive boost to students. Annual giving keeps tuition within their reach, and increases the number and size of available scholarships.

You help the University get more financial support from corporations and foundations; many want to see a healthy annual fund before they will partner with a university.

Your unrestricted annual gift goes where the need is greatest. You will be supporting your University in the areas that currently require the most support.

The story of an annual giftWilliam Hunter gives to Missouri State because he wants to make sure current students have the same great experiences he had on campus .

Hunter, who is originally from the Kansas City area and now lives in San Diego, Calif ., chose Missouri State because of the quality of the pre-medical program . The size of the University also appealed to him .

“I liked that it was small enough that I could interact with my professors but it was large enough to have the resources to allow me to do applicable research . As an undergraduate I got to do research that I would not have had the option to do at other schools .”

He graduated in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree in cell and molecular biology and a chemistry minor, and would definitely recommend his alma mater to others interested in his field .

“Science students can find a lot of opportunities there . That changed my life .”

Hunter now works as an account manager for Meso Scale Discovery, selling research equipment to biotechnology, pharmaceutical and academic customers .

“In my job now, I go into giant classrooms at schools where they never get to know their professors and the classes are taught by graduate students — that makes a difference .”

Hunter gives back to Missouri State by supporting the annual fund . He has been

giving about $100 each year for a number of years .

“I don’t give a ton of money, but I hope what I can give will help students get just a little boost so they can graduate and get a good job .”

He usually supports the College of Health and Human Services with his annual gift .

“I just like that group . It makes sense to me to give back to the place where I got my major .”

He encourages other alumni to support the annual fund .

“By giving back, you keep tuition down and help students who need just a bit extra to get their degrees . I am proud to be a Missouri State alum because I got a great education, and it allowed me to get to where I am today .”

What is planned giving?Charitable estate planning allows you to choose from a variety of options, so you may tailor your giving to meet your philanthropic goals. This type of gift planning also provides the most beneficial strategy to meet your needs. Gifts provided through a planned strategy can provide much-needed support to Missouri State University, as well as financial and tax benefits to a donor and his or her family.

What types of gifts may be given?These gifts may involve cash, life-insurance or retirement-plan benefits, stocks or other securities, real estate or any other type of personal property or financial investment.

Why is this type of gift important?These gifts help the University plan our financial future.

What are the benefits for donors? Some planned gifts prove an income stream to you or your family for life.

Some people find they can give more to the University through planned giving than through other ways of giving — some gifts even costs donors nothing during their lifetimes.

These gifts can provide tax advantages — both immediate and deferred — to you and your heirs.

Planned gifts are a great way to show your love for, and loyalty to, Missouri State University. They create a legacy for you on campus.

The story of a planned gift

Donor: Dr. Bernice “Bernie” Warren, long-time administrator and In Memoriam member of The Founders Club

Gift: Estate gift that has named the Bernice Warren Center for Archaeological Research as well as benefited intercollegiate athletics and scholarships for female student-athletes

Dr. Bernice “Bernie” Warren passed away in 2009, but she will never be forgotten on the Missouri State University campus .

Warren, who received her bachelor’s degree here in 1955, earned her master’s and doctoral degrees at other schools and began a career in higher education .

In 1969 she returned to Missouri State to teach in the English department . She moved into administration in 1974 and retired in 1999 as the dean of the College of Humanities and Public Affairs .

She was the first female dean of a college at Missouri State and paved the way for women to be named to other leadership roles .

She was also the founder of the highly successful Student Orientation and Registration program . SOAR is still used to introduce freshmen to the campus each fall .

Missouri State awarded her the Outstanding Alumni Award in 1994, and she was inducted to the University’s Wall of Fame in 2005 .

She was a mentor to many .“She changed my life,” said Tom Payne,

’84, who is now a services supervisor at Positronic Industries . Payne’s parents had been friends with Warren since before he was born . When he was a student at Missouri State, he sought out his long-time family friend . “I was in a major that was not making me happy . We talked about it for a

long time and she suggested the industrial management program . My grades improved and I am still working in the field . If not for her, I would have floundered in a major I did not like .”

Payne and Warren remained friends throughout the years: “I really miss her .”

He was not surprised that she gave to the school in her will .

Warren’s gift will forever enhance the Center for Archaeological Research, which will now have her name .

The center’s full-time staff members are hired on a contract basis by local, state and federal government agencies to conduct archaeological field work and other projects . The center also offers hands-on experience for students interested in careers in archaeology . Warren was a champion of the center during her time as dean .

“I think she really enjoyed teaching and she loved the people at Missouri State,” Payne said . “She wanted to give back .”

Why should I give to scholarships?Scholarships transform the lives of young people. Your gift will allow the most deserving students to experience University life, regardless of their ability to pay. You improve the University’s ability to keep Missouri’s finest students here at home, yet also attract the best and brightest from other places. Your contribution also helps keep tuition at reasonable levels.

Will my gift really make a difference

to a student?Even though our University is a great value — tuition and fees are less than the average for public colleges in Missouri, and our room and board rates are among the state’s very lowest — more than 75 percent of Missouri State students get some form of financial assistance. Every gift, no matter its size, makes a difference to the student who receives it.

What are the benefits for donors? You will be fulfilling dreams. Many students worry about how to pay for college. Your gift allows them to concentrate on preparing for their future.

Scholarships strengthen your communities. More educated people means a bright future — they tackle complex social problems, get involved in leadership roles and think deeply about how to make the world a better place.

Scholarships help your University thrive in an age when schools must compete to capture the attention of high-achieving students. Students often say a financial-aid package helped them decide which college to attend.

Who will receive my scholarship?You get to establish the criteria for the student who will receive the scholarship. Some donors have created scholarships for students from their own high schools or hometowns. Others have created criteria based on leadership skills, academic performance, academic majors, financial need or community service.

The story of a scholarship

Donor:Dr. Akinniran Oladehin, head of the Missouri State physical therapy department and member of The Founders Club

Gift: Mrs. Adedute Oladehin Memorial Scholarship

Dr. Akinniran Oladehin has seen first-hand the hardships some families endure to pay for education .

When he was growing up in Nigeria, school was not free even at elementary and secondary levels . He becomes emotional when discussing the struggles his mother went through due to debt . Though they were desperately poor, she still invited her children’s friends to the table at mealtimes .

She valued both altruism and learning, and that stuck with him after she passed away in 1996 . Those qualities are combined in the scholarship he created in her name .

Her sacrifices allowed him to build a different type of life for himself and his family . Oladehin earned a bachelor’s degree in physical therapy in Nigeria, then got married . He came to the United States to earn a master’s degree from Long Island University and a doctorate from New York University . He was separated from his wife and two daughters during this time; they remained in Nigeria for seven years . He brought his family to the U .S . after he completed his education because he thought they would have more opportunities here . He had two more children after his family moved, and all four of his now-adult children have completed college .

Oladehin came to Missouri State in 2006 after teaching at other institutions . He made donations at each school, but this is his first endowed scholarship .

His investment will support two physical therapy graduate students each year, starting in 2012 . Many of these students are adults with children — just like Oladehin when he was in graduate school .

“I want to help them get aid beyond a loan so they aren’t worrying about too much debt when they get out .”

He made his scholarship need-based, and also set up criteria pertaining to community service .

This philanthropic spirit isn’t surprising from a man who says he does not worship money, and who paid for his younger brother to go to college in order to lift that burden from his mother .

“If you are fortunate, why can’t you help those who are not as fortunate? It’s part of my responsibility to help .”

27

What is a named gift?If you want to give at a certain level, we can offer you the chance to name a part of campus. This type of gift etches your name or the name of a loved one into the history of this institution and is a way for your gift to be recognized forever. There are varying levels of giving that may lead to naming opportunities.

What may be named?The naming opportunities on the Missouri State campus are limitless. Your options include an academic college, department or program; a building; a classroom; an auditorium or lecture hall; individual offices; laboratories — and so much more. You may also name faculty endowments or student scholarships (see more about those in other sections of this report). Members of the Foundation staff can discuss your areas of interest and provide you with options based on your ideas and contribution.

Why is this type of gift important? Contributions given to name academic programs may go toward those programs and make them stronger.

Gifts awarded to buildings can help us maintain and improve those resources. In many cases, they allow us to upgrade to high-tech, top-of-the-line facilities.

These type of gifts make the University’s future more secure. Great programs and great facilities allow us to attract and retain the best and brightest students and faculty members.

What are the benefits for donors? Your name or that of your loved one is permanently attached to the University, ensuring a legacy on campus. The contribution will be recognized forever and your gift will have a lasting impact on the University.

You enhance programs at your University far beyond what we could do without your support.

You get to choose where your name will appear and where your gift will be invested. You may even choose to name a classroom in one academic building but direct your contribution to a different academic program.

Who may name items on campus?Individuals, families, small businesses and corporations are among the people and groups who have named objects or places on Missouri State’s campuses. Anyone who is interested is eligible to make a named gift.

The story of a named gift

Donor:Associated Electric Cooperative Inc., member of The Founders Club

Gift: AECI Kemper Hall Power Laboratory

Dr. Tammy Jahnke, dean of the College of Natural and Applied Sciences, says a gift from Associated Electric Cooperative Inc . is poised to make a big difference for a program in her college .

AECI has named the Kemper Hall Power Laboratory, the room in which all electrical engineering courses are taught .

The electrical engineering program is a fairly new addition to Missouri State — in fact, the first graduate is expected in 2012 . The program has a unique twist: It is a collaboration between MSU and the Missouri University of Science & Technology in Rolla . Though all of the courses are taught on the Missouri State campus in Springfield, the non-engineering courses are offered through MSU and the engineering courses are offered through Missouri S&T .

The cooperative engineering program is designed for “place-bound students,” those who cannot study outside of their geographic area due to family, work or other responsibilities . Students must have graduated from high school or have residency in Christian, Dade, Dallas, Greene, Lawrence, Polk, Stone, Taney or Webster counties to be eligible for the program .

“This cooperative program uses state resources wisely,” Jahnke said . “The S&T courses offered on our campus are taught collaboratively by a combination of S&T and MSU faculty . Students and faculty at both sites may communicate via the Internet or operate instruments using remote technology .”

Electrical engineers design and perfect a wide range of products that produce electricity

or are powered by electricity (such as cars, cell phones, global positioning systems, power generators, the wiring in buildings, etc .) . They may plan the circuitry and wiring of a product, create and test prototypes and install a final product . They also investigate alternative energy sources such as solar and wind . They must be able to use sophisticated software and laboratory equipment .

AECI’s gift will allow Missouri State to equip the Kemper Hall laboratory with the high-tech equipment that students will see in the real workforce .

“It absolutely helps us take a leap forward,” Jahnke said . “This gift will let us get equipment that we might not otherwise have had the resources to buy . Hands-on experience with these instruments is essential for students in this program as they seek internships and jobs .”

She hopes to continue a relationship with AECI .

“I have met some people from the company . They are excited about helping students,” Jahnke said . “Hopefully we can stay connected by sending students their way for internships or possible careers . Staying in contact with professionals in the field is also important to make sure we keep our programs relevant . You find out if what you’re teaching is what they think the students need to know .”

Jahnke is thankful for the boost this gift has given the program .

“The time students will spend in this lab will add immensely to their skills . We are so grateful!”

29

What is a faculty endowment?A faculty endowment is a gift that helps Missouri State University attract and retain outstanding educators. Your gift is invested and the principal is never spent. As the principal grows, so does the interest available to the University. This money helps the University provide competitive salaries, making it more likely that leading professors will remain at Missouri State. Endowments also help faculty by increasing the amount of money available for laboratories, equipment and support for research assistants.

Why is this type of gift important?Faculty members who receive these endowments are considered experts in their fields. These gifts aid the University’s stand-outs and help us recruit from around the world. Quality faculty members keep the campus moving forward: They stimulate new ideas, inspire students and motivate their peers. These professors attract bright students to campus and serve as mentors. They raise the profile of their departments and the entire University.

What are the benefits for donors?Your endowed faculty position can support any area of the University you choose: If there is an area of study you feel strongly about supporting, you are welcome to do so with your endowment. When you establish an endowment, you make a permanent mark on the University. You are directly responsible for allowing us to hire and retain experts in a variety of academic fields. You also honor a leading professor who wants to build a career at Missouri State.

Founders Club members were among the alumni and friends welcomed to a pre-game tailgating party, hosted by former University President Dr . Michael Nietzel, before the football Bears took on the Panthers of the University of Northern Iowa .

The tailgate was held in BearFest Village, a spirit area that is set up near Plaster Stadium on all home game days . Cheerleaders get the crowd revved up, the Pride Band provides a rousing soundtrack, academic departments greet their alumni and Boomer Bear is guaranteed to make an appearance .

Founders Club members were welcomed into the President’s Tent, where they could have a meal and check out the festivities .

Pat Kimball, ’47, said her favorite parts of the day were listening to the Pride Band and eating bratwurst .

“The Village was really nice and I enjoyed it,” she said . “There were a lot of people there and they all seemed to be having fun .”

Like many in the crowd, she was decked out in BearWear .

“I like to show school spirit — if I’m going to the game I want to be a full part of it!”

Tailgate attendees made their way into Plaster Stadium before the 1 p .m . kick-off to join the other Bears fans .

“The games are fun,” Kimball said . “My favorite thing is for the Bears to win, but that can’t happen every time . I am encouraged by this year’s team — they keep getting better all the time!”

Kimball gives back to Missouri State’s pre-dental, physician’s assistant and chemistry programs in honor of her late husband, Dr . Roland Kimball, who was a dentist .

“Education is so expensive now, and there

are some great students who just don’t have the money to do it .”

She likes coming back to campus for Founders Club events to see the progress being made .

“The whole campus is just fabulous — all the great buildings they have put up are really outstanding . It makes you feel good to go back and look around . It’s such a nice place .”

A exclusive reception for Founders Club members was held in May to celebrate the art and wine of Missouri State University and showcase Brick City, the new home of the art and design department .

The event was held in the art gallery at Brick City, a downtown building that is part of the Missouri State IDEA Commons urban research park .

Founders Club member Christina Ryder

and her husband Matthew Summers were among those in attendance .

“Brick City is really a great venue to showcase student work,” Ryder said .

“I would imagine that the gallery atmosphere would also make a wonderful place to study, be inspired and release creativity .”

Work by seniors who were about to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts

was on exhibit at the gallery . “I loved the exhibit of the human bodies

made of tape,” Ryder said . “I thought that it was amazingly intricate and overall a very interesting concept .”

Attendees were also able to sample Missouri State University wines produced on the Mountain Grove campus . The wines included in the tasting were pink catawba, a sweet pink wine; chambourcin, a medium-

bodied red; and Missouri State’s own Maroon Blend, a dry red made from a combination of chambourcin and norton grapes .

“We are excited to attend Founders Club events because they often showcase the various talents of Missouri State University,” Ryder, who also teaches in the sociology, anthropology and criminology department, said . “They always make us even more proud of our relationship with the University!”

Our gratitude to Founders Club members is as deep as the ocean — just one of the reasons the decorations at this year’s Medallion Reception had a beach theme .

The reception, held this year at Juanita K . Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts, is an annual event with a purpose of awarding medallions to Founders Club members whose cumulative giving reaches certain levels . The levels for medallions are Founders, Platinum,

Sterling, Presidents, Silver and Bronze .Carl R . Dickey, a 1956 graduate, was the

recipient of a Silver Medallion, along with his wife, Jan .

“This was my second medallion — I received the bronze a few years ago,” he said . “It was very rewarding . I was honored to receive it .”

He supports the University because he attended on a football scholarship, which

means someone else’s support helped him afford school . He earned a degree in education and went on to a career in the insurance field .

“I appreciate what they did for me,” Dickey said . “I think Missouri State is a great school that gave me a great education, which allowed me to get a good job .”

He and his wife make the trip from their home in St . Louis to campus a few times a year .

“I have always believed in Missouri State,” he said . “I feel fortunate that I am able to pay back what someone did for me by helping others go to school there .”
