COMMUNITYI was reflecting recently on the fact that over 80 percent of our
new students chose to attend Walsh because of an endorsement
from friends or family. Further, 85 percent of our graduates
continue to live in Michigan. I think that is remarkable.
And when I look into the audience at commencement, there is
a spirit of undying fortitude and determination in the eyes of our
graduates. The future is within their grasp and to them, success
is not merely judged inwardly. Success is determined as a
community. This creates an energy that is the catalyst for so many
powerful stories of ambition and achievement.
In the following pages, you will read just a few examples of the
Walsh community that I feel define and embody this institution.
For our alums, Walsh is a destination that begins and continues
in this state we love; this place many envision living forever; this
place we call home.
That’s the Walsh story; a story of vision, dedication, and realization.
Warm Regards,
Stephanie W. Bergeron
President & Chief Executive Officer

Create Your Own Scholarship
All endowed and annual scholarships can be made in your name, in
tribute to another, or with the name of your business. The choice is yours.
Creating an endowed scholarship is a wonderful way to leave a legacy for
future generations of Walsh College students. A minimum gift of $25,000
is required to establish an endowed fund. It is not necessary to pay the
full amount at one time, and a payment plan can be created. Gifts of cash
and securities can be applied to the fund, and once it reaches $25,000, it
will be endowed. Beginning the following year, Walsh College will make the
first award. The College will continue to make awards in perpetuity.
Annual Scholarships are also an important funding source for Walsh
College students. Annual scholarships may be named with a gift of
$10,000, paid over one or more years.
For more information, please contact Jill Dunphy at 248.823.1368 or at [email protected].

Investing in a Career
Alan Andreycak: Bachelor of Business
Administration – Finance
While still in high school, Alan Andreycak knew he wanted to go into
finance and that Walsh College, with its focus on business, presented
the best opportunity for his career preparation. The Sterling Heights
resident also reasoned that the combination of an associate’s degree
from Macomb Community College and a bachelor’s degree from Walsh
made economic sense.
Based on his financial need, grade-point
average, and plans to enroll at least half-
time, he qualified for a renewable Walsh
College Alumni Association Endowed
Scholarship. This support makes a
difference to both Andreycak and his
family.
“I can’t begin to thank you enough for
how much this means to me,” he told the Alumni Association Board.
“Every little bit of money that will help me achieve a greater education is
much appreciated.”
With the downturn in the auto industry and instability of his father’s job,
Andreycak didn’t want to burden his family with all the costs of college.
He also didn’t want to have to take out student loans. “With the $800 a
semester from the scholarship I’m able to avoid going into debt,” he said.
Andreycak, who earned top grades at Macomb, finds classes at Walsh
intense because they are packed into an 11-week timeframe as opposed
to the 16-week terms at community college. His studies are going well
and he is enthused about his finance courses in subjects like Financial
Statement Analysis and Investment Management.
“I am a very motivated and driven student,” he said. “I plan to graduate
with honors from Walsh College and excel in my chosen career path.
The scholarship has made my dream of receiving bachelor’s and
master’s degrees in Finance even more of a reality.”
Currently Andreycak works 20 to 30 hours a week in construction for
Roseville-based Distinctive Interiors. “My best friend’s father is my boss
and he understands that for me, school comes first. He lets me work
around my class schedule and adjust my hours if I have to study for a
test. As far as flexibility goes, this is a great arrangement.”
With an ultimate goal of becoming a financial analyst, stockbroker, or
financial advisor, Andreycak hopes to land an internship or part-time job
in the financial services industry while still in school. He’s on track to
graduate with a BBA in Finance in spring 2011.

Keeping Up with Technology
Gail Glick: Bachelor of Science –
Business Information Systems
When Gail Glick graduated from high school she was not of the mindset
to attend college, nor could her family afford it. Instead, she immediately
got an office job in data processing at Kmart headquarters in Troy.
During 25 years there, she worked her way up to systems engineer in
the IT department.
She also became more intent on earning a college degree. But as a
divorced mother of two daughters, having the time and money to go to
school proved challenging. In fits and starts between 1994 and 2003,
she pursued an associate’s degree at Oakland Community College in
Computer Information Systems. It wasn’t until she was laid off and
between jobs that she was finally
able to finish.
Then in 2008, she was ready for
more and chose the Information
Assurance (IA) program at Walsh
College, which is designated by
the U.S. National Security Agency
and the Department of Homeland Security as a Center of Academic
Excellence. “The IA specialty in the Business Information Systems
bachelor’s degree fits my skill set perfectly,” she said. “I’ve been in the IT
field for 30 years, mainly in the WAN, LAN, and network security field.”
Glick found that if she could take at least six credits a semester, she
would be eligible for financial aid and scholarships. This was good news,
since tuition reimbursement from her employer was no longer being
offered. She received a Golf Classic Annual Scholarship covering almost
half of her tuition.
“This scholarship helps make my educational goals possible,” she
said. “I have wanted to finish my undergraduate degree, but as sole
support for two daughters over the past 18 years, I have been financially
prohibited. I am truly grateful for the generous support of donors.”
Like her daughters who are now in college, Glick spends many evenings
and weekends studying. By day she is employed by Compuware in
Professional Services. Currently she is a network engineer assigned full
time to a long-term project at Detroit Public Schools.
Glick will finish her degree in spring 2011, about the same time as her
older daughter, Julie, who is studying music therapy at Eastern Michigan
University, and well before her younger daughter, Emily, who is in the
pre-nursing program at Wayne State University. Her next steps will be to
take some certification exams and seek employment in the information
security field, perhaps related to Homeland Security.

Motivated to Move Up
Vickie Pearcy: Bachelor of Business
Administration – Management
Vickie Pearcy is glad to have her current job as bookkeeper for the five
stores and warehouse of Algonac-based LumberJack Building Centers.
But after 18 years working in receivables and credit departments for
several employers, she has her sights set on new job opportunities in
management and human resources. “I want to spread my wings and
find new and exciting avenues for a more challenging career,” she said.
Although Pearcy went through the criminal justice program at St.
Clair County Community College many years ago, she never worked in
that field. To get the prerequisites for a business
degree, she started over and completed a
general education associate’s degree at Macomb
Community College in December 2009.
“During my first few months at Macomb, academic
advisors and other students told me Walsh College
would be a good place to go for my business
degree. Everyone I talked to – employers, alumni – had good things to
say about its reputation and programs. With those recommendations I
decided on Walsh,” she said.
At age 46, the married mother of two grown daughters knows that time
is of the essence for moving up the career ladder. She has the drive,
determination, and discipline to earn a bachelor’s degree and beyond,
but her financial and family situation present formidable obstacles. Since
2001 when her husband was injured in a car accident, she has been the
sole breadwinner. She also has guardianship of her 12-year-old niece.
Fortunately, donors have made it possible for someone in her situation
to receive funding. The Arthur & Erika Strunk Endowed Scholarship
is given to a student who is employed at least 20 hours a week and
supports at least one dependent child or incapacitated adult.
Not only is Pearcy grateful to the donors, but also
to the Admissions and Academic Advising Office for
helping students find funding. “In going over the tax
forms for my Pell Grant application, the academic
advisor saw that my husband is on Social Security
due to his disability. She immediately made some
calls and within a week a scholarship was approved.
This and the other grant gave me enough to cover tuition. My daughter
advanced me the money for my books, so I was able to start classes this
summer and not wait until fall.
“If I didn’t have the scholarship, I wouldn’t be able to attend Walsh College,”
she said. “I count my blessings every time I walk into the classroom.”7

As professor of Business Communications
and director of the Walsh College Doctor of
Management (DM) in Executive Leadership
program, Linda Hagan, Ph.D., is helping students
and organizations understand the importance of
clear communications.
“Employers and alumni tell us that strong
communication is the number one skill they are
looking for, yet it’s one of the weakest for workers,”
she said. Dr. Hagan’s mission in the undergraduate
classes she teaches is to refine students’ verbal and
written skills.
Coming from a faculty position at Michigan State
University, Dr. Hagan joined the Walsh faculty in
2007 with academic credentials that include a
Ph.D. in Communications with a cognate in Strategic
Management from the University of Maryland.
Additionally, Dr. Hagan has more than 15
years of business experience, primarily in the
automotive industry. Besides working in corporate
communications at Volkswagen and Audi, she was
in the field as a district sales manager for Audi.
For her doctoral dissertation, Dr. Hagan drew
on her experience at Audi during an engine
acceleration crisis during the mid-1980s. She
examined the safety recall and why Audi’s
reputation was damaged while others with the
same problem went unscathed. Because many
in the media referred to the crisis as a PR black
mark for Audi, Dr. Hagan focused her study on
how a tarnished reputation affects stakeholder
relationships, and ultimately the bottom line.
Dr. Hagan challenges doctoral students in her
Leadership and Strategic Communication course
to examine how transformational leaders can
effectively lead internal change and be ready to
meet the demands of a business world under
constant scrutiny by external stakeholders. Students
debate how to best communicate an organization’s
vision, use social media, and manage crises.
“That’s what makes Walsh College’s doctoral
program different from others,” she said. “We are
shaping candidates to be scholar-practitioners,
exposing students to theory and challenging them
to think decisively, yet integrating application
through applied research.”
The Higher Learning Commission granted approval
to offer the doctoral program in 2006 and the
first cohort was accepted in 2007. Currently, 25
students are enrolled in the intensive, part-time
program designed for working professionals who
seek careers as leaders, consultants, or educators.
The program takes four to six years to complete.
“It’s rigorous and meant for those who are
dedicated to contributing to the body of knowledge
in leadership and management,” Dr. Hagan said.
“Walsh’s DM program expands the intellectual
capital of the College by allowing our faculty
and students to serve as a resource for both the
scholarly and broader professional community.
Everyone benefits,” she said.

In whose footsteps do children of a classically
trained pianist mother and a distinguished lawyer
father follow?
In Assistant Professor Daniel Hoops’ case, he and
his siblings took piano lessons, mastered a wind
instrument, and majored in music in college. Five
out of the six children went on to law school.
Hoops earned a Bachelor of Musical Arts degree in
trumpet performance at the University of Michigan
and then a JD at the Detroit College of Law at
Michigan State University. He sought advanced
training at the University of Miami to specialize in
taxation with a Master of Laws (LLM).
While still in law school, he and his older brother
helped their father author multi-volume reference
books published by the legal and regulatory
information division of Thomson Reuters. Meeting
deadlines to update new editions of “Planning for
Estates and Administration in Michigan” and the
“Family Estate Planning Guide” has kept him from
taking the Fourth of July holiday off ever since.
Also like his father, Hoops started teaching as an
adjunct at Detroit College of Law-MSU and in the
graduate program in taxation at Cooley Law School.
Walsh Business Law and Taxation Department
Chair Mark Solomon soon approached him about
joining the Walsh adjunct staff.
“I was used to the law school environment and
the peculiarities of law students, but the moment I
started teaching a class at Walsh, I instantly fell in
love with the business school. This is a real-world
environment with the kind of students I’d been
looking to find,” he said.
He admits the Walsh taxation program is very
demanding. “When people hire a Walsh grad, they
know what they are getting, not someone who got
pushed through the system. We make our students
earn what they get.”
With his experience in business law, ethics, and
estate planning, Hoops draws from real cases and
dilemmas people have faced, all while maintaining
client confidentiality.
“I try to make it real life and as practical as
possible for every student. You need to learn the
rules, but you also need to know how to read a
situation and apply the rules.”
He brings a talent for making complex issues
understandable and approachable to the
classroom and his business column on law in the
Novi News, his hometown paper.
Students describe Hoops as “brilliant,” “engaging,”
and “challenging, but entertaining.” They
appreciate his mentoring and know that he wants
them to succeed.

Accounting Adjunct Instructor Modou Ceesay, CPA,
is from Gambia, the smallest country in Africa.
Since coming to the U.S. in 2000, he has earned
an Accounting degree (‘04) and MBA (‘09) from
Walsh College. He also has gained experience at a
regional accounting firm and now works at one of
the largest global corporations.
It’s been an arduous, but rewarding, journey made
possible by his perseverance, sacrifice, and the
good wishes of his family far away.
Ceesay’s father understood the importance of
education and borrowed money for a plane ticket
so his academically talented son could go to
college in the United States. With student visa in
hand but little money in his pocket, Ceesay landed
in New York, stayed with a family friend, and
worked at a car wash in Brooklyn until he earned
enough to move somewhere less expensive.
He came to Wixom, Mich., because that’s where
the only other fellow Gambian he knew lived.
He enrolled at Oakland Community College in
Business Administration and got a job at the
neighborhood Applebee’s restaurant.
For the next four years, he went to school full-
time – Monday through Thursday – and worked
full-time, usually by putting in 16-hour days at the
restaurant on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. He
had to pay the bills, cover tuition, and send money
home to his family in Africa.
He chose Walsh College for the well-regarded
Accounting program, but also because there was
a monthly payment plan and the international
student fee was less than at state universities.
At Walsh, Ceesay excelled in accounting to the
point that he found himself tutoring other students.
He became active in student government and
served as president of the International Student
Club. Walsh Accounting Department Chair Rick
Berschback mentored him and gave him advice
about career decisions.
“It was a very happy day when I graduated and
got the job on the audit staff of Plante & Moran.
Two years later I was hired by General Motors in
corporate accounting and realized my dream of
working for an international company,” Ceesay said.
A top student, Ceesay passed the CPA exam on
the first try and then enrolled in the MBA program
at Walsh. He graduated in June 2009, but couldn’t
break the habit of going to evening classes. Now
he’s at the front of the room teaching what he
loves. Like the other adjunct faculty, he shares his
real-world work experience with students.

Dave Petoskey (BBA ’90) is a booster for all of
the alumni events that support scholarships at
Walsh College.
Acknowledging that his BBA in Finance and
Marketing gave him a solid background for
starting his own investment firm in 1995,
Petoskey says involvement in alumni activities
helped his business grow through networking and
referrals. Today, he is a top producer in the LPL
Finance network which supports entrepreneurial
financial advisors.
His volunteer service started on graduation day
when he was asked to help at the 1990 Alumni
Association Golf Outing. He accepted because he
thought it would be a fun and unintimidating way
to get involved and meet people.
“Volunteering became an extension of my Walsh
education and taught me how to network and
interact with leaders in the community while
working together for a common cause,” he said.
His seamless transition from student to alumni
volunteer led to serving on committees, then

chairing committees, appointment to the President’s Advisory Council, and to ultimately being
elected a trustee of the College. In 2007, he was recognized as a Distinguished Alumnus for his
service and career success.
Petoskey puts his skills and boundless energy to use on advisory committees and in fundraising
roles because he wants Walsh College to maintain high standards, grow in stature, and meet the
changing employment needs of southeast Michigan.
“Supporting Walsh helps build southeast Michigan and the type of student coming into the
marketplace. Most Walsh students are entrenched in the community and stay here after
graduation,” he said.
Fun in FundraisingSince Walsh doesn’t have sports teams, Petoskey views alumni activities as the venue for social
engagement and staying connected. He and his firm support the three main social events that
raise funds for scholarships and other resources that will keep Walsh on top.
“The spring Wine Gala and summer Golf Outing provide something that is fun and at the same
time, a way of helping Walsh students,” he said. “The next level up is the Leadership Awards
Dinner, the black-tie event held in November to honor community leaders and alumni.
“If we don’t keep doing these types of events, many students won’t be able to afford a Walsh
education,” he said. “Scholarships are important for students who aren’t getting subsidies from
their employers. The more we can raise, the more students will be able to benefit from a Walsh
education.”

Jeff Groen attributes his success, in large part,
to the Bachelor of Accountancy (’76) and Master
of Science in Taxation (’81) he received from
Walsh College.
“Walsh taught me that if you get a proper
foundation, you can take charge of your life and
career. Obtaining a professional license, a CPA,
put me in the driver’s seat to build a business
and be in control,” he said.
“Also, the study skills I acquired at Walsh served
me well when I was pursuing my private pilot
license and the IFR rating, as well as earning my
AICPA business valuation and financial forensics
credentials,” he acknowledged.
The accounting firm he formed in 1984 offers
full-service financial consulting ranging from
taxation, accounting, and auditing to litigation
services and wealth management. Groen
provides valuations of entities and partnerships;
litigation support; tax research, planning, and
preparation; corporate reorganization; and
management consultation.

He says the Walsh master’s degree in Taxation is what catapulted his CPA practice and is why
he stayed in public accounting. Groen was valedictorian of his post-graduate class and won the
Everett Hawley Taxation Award. This gave him confidence and the clout and expertise to advise
clients when he was only 28.
“I’m happy to give back to the Taxation program because it drove my success,” he said. To
propel the next generation of students in the tax field, Groen served as an adjunct faculty
member for eight years. He also directed a major gift to the tax side of the world-class Walsh
College Library.
Accounting Firm CampaignOne of the annual activities Groen supports is the Accounting Firm Campaign, which raises
money for scholarships, technology upgrades, enhancements to the Library, and other resources
needed to meet the changing education needs of the business market.
For more than a decade, Groen, Kluka & Company has been one of the regional accounting firms
that gives the College an opportunity to personally connect with alumni employees at Annual
Fund solicitation time.
“We get 100 percent participation by alums at our firm,” Groen said. “They all feel they got a good
education at Walsh and want to help out. It’s hard for many students to make a Walsh education
happen on their own without financial aid. We, as alums, have a responsibility to help out.”

Craig J. Roshak, CPA, (Bachelor of Accountancy
’82) is one of the key alumni volunteers
committed to supporting and strengthening the
value of a Walsh degree.
Roshak joined Coopers & Lybrand (now
PricewaterhouseCoopers) in 1983 with his newly
minted Accounting degree. He spent the next
12 years there, primarily in the audit practice,
assisting large multinational corporations. He left to
join Kmart’s turnaround team as head of internal
audit in 1995, and then joined Chrysler in 1998,
just as the Daimler merger was taking place.
Roshak chose Walsh College for the high-caliber
instruction and its reputation as one of the top
schools for accounting. “I chose the hardest
professors,” he said. “I knew it would be tough,
but I’m very glad I did.”
Walsh is where he met his wife, Cathy Clark,
who earned her BBA in Finance in 1981.
She is senior vice president responsible for
all acquisitions and dispositions at Ramco-
Gershenson Properties Trust.

“I have an interest in making sure Walsh continues to grow and improve because it reflects on
the quality of previous graduates. It also impacts the caliber of potential graduates coming into
the southeast Michigan workplace,” he added.
“Over the years, I’ve hired several Walsh students. I know their preparation – the combination of
practical and theoretical education that Walsh students get. I know the demands, and that the
students are well-grounded.”
Philanthropy in the Classroom
Roshak believes that philanthropy is critically important at a private educational institution. A
year ago, he and fellow Foundation board members created the Philanthropy in the Classroom
program to expose students to the concept and how it relates to them now and in the future.
Each semester Foundation directors, College trustees, and Alumni Association board members
visit classrooms to give short presentations. They tell students about their background and why
they are engaged with Walsh. They talk about giving back, the importance of philanthropy, and
how it benefits all students.
“We encourage the students to get involved in some way, to support events, to volunteer, and
ultimately become a donor when they have the means to do so. Giving back is what makes our
community vibrant.”

A powerful collaboration with a national
foundation is bringing Walsh College to the
forefront of entrepreneurial education and
positioning it as an innovative player in
Michigan’s economic revitalization.
In April, the charitable foundation of The
Blackstone Group named Walsh College
and Wayne State University as recipients
of its first major grant to help students
learn entrepreneurial skills and start new
businesses. The initial $2-million grant to
establish Blackstone LaunchPads at two metro
Detroit sites is part of a five-year, $50-million
commitment by the New York-based investment
firm to drive business creation and spur
economic recovery in hard-hit regions.
Blackstone targeted southeast Michigan as
the perfect lab for developing high-growth
businesses because of the region’s high
unemployment and the need to replace jobs lost
by the downturn in the auto industry. Supporting
the Blackstone effort is the New Economy
Initiative (NEI) for southeast Michigan, a
consortium of 10 local and national foundations
working to accelerate metro Detroit’s transition to
an innovation-based economy.
NEI will work with Walsh to build a local network
of entrepreneur mentors and venture coaches
and will sponsor shared events. The regional
philanthropic group has set aside its own
funding to centrally coordinate services and
evaluate LaunchPad projects.
How It Works …As a free, non-credit program, the Blackstone
LaunchPad offers an educational career path
for aspiring entrepreneurs. A resource center,
constructed at the Troy campus in a renovated
space across from the cafeteria and adjacent
to the bookstore, began operation in fall term
2010. The business creation program will also
be available at the Novi campus.
Students and alumni can test the marketability
of their startup ideas, develop a business
plan, and go through the legal process of
trademarking or copyrighting an idea and
incorporating a business. Providing contacts
and connections, the LaunchPad is also a place
for new entrepreneurs to find mentors, build
a board of directors, recruit employees, and
network with possible investors.
Entrepreneurial Education Entrepreneurial education is a strategic Walsh
focus. And the LaunchPad program is the
first important initiative of The Walsh Institute,
which was formed in the fall of 2010 to find
ways to accelerate growth in Michigan through

education, innovation, collaboration, and
entrepreneurship.
“The Blackstone LaunchPad encourages
and promotes entrepreneurship as a viable
career option and ignites interest, encourages
exploration, and helps recruit entrepreneurs,”
said Michelle Lange, Walsh Institute director. “It
fulfills a key education obligation: to teach not just
how to find a job, but also how to make a job.”
“Walsh College is a natural fit for LaunchPad to
change the dynamics of how Michigan develops
entrepreneurial talent,” Walsh College President
and CEO Stephanie Bergeron said. “We see
an unending collective energy in Detroit, and
our trustees and faculty are committed to help
the region rebuild. In surveys we have found
that our students are interested in going the
entrepreneurial route and are asking for support.”

In early 2010, Walsh College and Burns &

Karen Rhoda, Ph.D., dean of the Walsh College
Division of Online Learning, said today’s
businesses and industry have an ongoing need
to provide knowledge and skill-building courses
for their employees.
“Online learning is the delivery mechanism that
will enable many employees to acquire core
competencies and remain current in their area
of expertise,” she said.
The employee training partnership with Walsh
grew out of a longstanding relationship with
Burns & Wilcox Chairman, President, and
CEO Alan Jay Kaufman, JD. His Farmington
Hills-based company is one of North America’s
largest independent wholesaler brokers and
managing underwriters, with 37 offices across
the United States and one in London.
Convenient Classes
For many companies like Burns & Wilcox, it’s
not feasible for branch office employees to
convene at headquarters for classroom training.
“With an online class, location and scheduling
aren’t obstacles,” said Beth Gardiner, Burns
& Wilcox director of education, training and
development. ”We can offer 24/7 access to
everyone.”
Classes are being delivered through Walsh
College’s Course Management System and
facilitated by a Burns & Wilcox instructor.
Based on the response Gardiner received
from a pilot class, online courses provide the
convenience students want. “When we sent the
e-mail about registering, the 25 spots filled in
less than 30 minutes,” Gardiner said. “We now
have a waiting list for it and the next course to
be rolled out.”
Walsh is working with Burns & Wilcox to design
online courses toward certificates in general
insurance as well as certificates in life insurance
required for the Associate in Surplus Lines
Insurance industry designation.
The Walsh instructional design team worked
with Burns & Wilcox subject matter expert and
trainer Steve Hoppens to convert his face-to-
face instruction into a multimedia voice-over
format. The online version covers 10 lessons
of weekly lectures, practice activities, and
discussion.
Within the weekly timeframe, employee learners
can schedule classes around their work
requirements and family obligations. Walsh
designed the courses so that employees can
receive instructor feedback and respond to
discussions without having to be online at the
same time.
Positive Feedback
“We also designed the online course with a lot
of exercises – matching, crossword puzzles, and
fill-in-the blanks – or some activity every week
to test the students’ knowledge,” Gardiner said.
“The students in the pilot loved them and felt
they were helpful in the learning process.”
Through online discussion boards, students
learn from each other and hear varying points of
view. “They liked forming relationships with their
co-workers across the country and bantering
back and forth when the instructor or students
presented an opinion,” Gardner added.
Those who successfully complete the online
courses are eligible to sit for certification exams
administered by the American Institute of
Certified Property Casualty Underwriters.
According to Gardiner, 60 percent of the pilot
class graduates took the certification exam soon
after the class ended – and passed.

When the Jeffery W. Barry Center on the Troy campus was awarded its
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification in
June 2010, Walsh College became one of only six Michigan schools to
date to go beyond the basic certification and silver level to win gold.
“While new construction projects in public colleges and universities
are required to meet minimum standards of sustainable design, we
voluntarily complied because we think it’s important to be good stewards of our
common resources,” said Christine Stout, Walsh College director of Facilities and
Auxiliary Services.
“Originally we were aiming just to be certified, but we found ways to meet the
requirements for silver without expending extra resources,” Stout said. “We struck
gold by exceeding expectations for efficiency and energy savings.”
Back in 2005 while drafting the master facility plan, the College leadership decided
to construct a 37,000-square-foot addition utilizing sustainable design and building
practices. Walsh College retained Valerio DeWalt Train Associates of Chicago, the
architect firm that had designed a shining example in the community, the LEED
platinum-rated Kresge Foundation Headquarters in Troy.
The $10.5-million environmentally sustainable building that resulted was named
after the late Jeffery W. Barry, Walsh College president from 1970 to 1991. He
oversaw the 1970 construction of the Troy campus and four subsequent expansions.
The Barry Center opened for classes in January 2008. However, LEED certification
could not be determined until the building systems had been put to the test. The
architect, contractor, and consultants had to submit energy savings and efficiency
calculations for the U.S. Green Building Council to review.
Design Challenges The LEED program evaluates
new construction on elements
related to sustainable sites,
water efficiency, energy
and atmosphere, materials
and resources, and indoor
environmental quality as well as innovation of design.
Walsh faced some unique challenges in earning top certification
for the new two-level classroom building, which includes the
Library, auditorium, conference rooms, and marketing focus
group facilities. To gain maximum points, many “green”
buildings are designed with 90 percent of the space using
natural light. That strategy doesn’t work for a school that holds
most of its classes at night.
In fact, the architects minimized the number and size of
windows in the second floor classrooms. Instead, they put
twice the usual amount of insulation in the walls and roof, and
thereby gained extra points for energy savings. They made use
of “daylighting” techniques in the Library on the first floor by
installing floor-to-ceiling windows and light sensors.
The designers created bioswales to turn the parking lots into a
high-efficiency water filtration system that captures and filters
seven million gallons of water each year before it is recharged
into the water supply.

Visible and Invisible FeaturesOnly a few features of the Barry Center’s sustainable design are
actually visible. The first thing visitors do notice is the absence
of manicured lawns. The sustainable landscaping relies on
native plants that require no irrigation system, saving 825,000
gallons of water per year.
The neighboring subdivision isn’t affected by light pollution
because Walsh reduced site disturbance by exceeding local
zoning requirements for open space and by beaming parking
lot lights downward.
“Indoors, you might spot the multiple recycling containers
that are part of the new campus-wide recycling program or
detect the occupancy sensors that turn on lights and control
temperature,” Stout said. “But the recycled materials and
environmentally safe products used, such as the terrazzo floors
made with 20,000 pounds of recycled glass, look no different
than their traditional counterparts.”
“What you don’t see,” Stout added, “is how the building
gets 70 percent of its power from renewable resources, uses
energy-efficient building insulation, and converts waste heat
into electricity. Also, energy-efficient plumbing reduces potable
water use by 40 percent.”
Green EducationThe eco-friendly design of the Barry Center also provides a teaching tool that shows
the way construction is headed in the future. In the corridor connecting the Barry
Center to the existing campus, Pewabic-tiled panels give students and visitors an
overview of the environmental features and how they work.
Using the Barry Center as a case study, students in economics classes consider
the cost-benefit decisions that go into building green. “It was about 10 percent
more expensive at the front end for Walsh, but will cost less to operate and
maintain because of the energy and water efficiency,” Stout said. “The payback
comes in about five to seven years.”
From going to classes in a green building, students see that it’s possible to
incorporate sustainable design and be eco-friendly without sacrificing comfort,
losing instructional quality, or incurring burdensome cost. Their positive experience
and newly acquired mindset can carry over into their workplaces and influence
construction projects in the future.
