ANTIOCH COLLEGE
DONOR REPORT
2016–17 & 2017–18
A NEW KIND OF AMERICAN COLLEGE Where students own their education.
01
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITMENT First, let me say thank you. You have received this publication because of your demonstrated commitment to Antioch College, and I wish to extend my thanks on behalf of the College and the Board of Trustees, but also for the Village of Yellow Springs, to which this College is so important. But, Antioch College is much more than just a local treasure: its impact has been felt far and wide in so many ways and so many places where its students and graduates have been winning victories for nearly 170 years. As someone who is supporting our mission, and bringing Antioch College not only back from closure, but also into an everchanging world that needs the kinds of change-makers Antioch College is so well known for educating, I want you to know that your dedication is inspiring and so very appreciated. We’ve come a long way since the reopening of the College, yet there is still much work to accomplish. Our momentum is building. In the last two fiscal years, we’ve not only gained accreditation, but also established a new curriculum which goes beyond meeting accreditation standards. Based on the input of the entire community, our outstanding faculty have created a truly inspired approach which delivers all the hallmarks of an Antioch education to meet the needs of the world of today and tomorrow. Thank you once again for your support these past two years, and for how you will continue to make this dream a reality in the years to come. Maureen Lynch Chair, Antioch College Board of Trustees 2018-19
Why an Antioch Education Works (for students) Antioch College provides an individually shaped education that works in the world by engaging students in the fundamental challenges of the world. It works for you because you own it. It is designed with and by you each step of the way. No school offers students greater agency, involvement, and accountability for their education and in the shared governance of their college itself than Antioch College. And no school provides such a unique set of support and learning experiences and resources as affordably. For 170 years, Antioch has been a college that changes lives in ways that last.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Antioch College is a living laboratory for change Dear Friends of Antioch College, Greetings from Yellow Springs, Ohio—a college/village community in the middle of EVERYWHERE. How can that be, you ask? I’ll get to that later. First, if you are receiving this report it’s because we owe you profound thanks for the indispensable support you have given Antioch College (also known fondly to Lester Schulman class of ’57 as our 168-year-old work-in-progress). We simply would not be here today without you. Second, because this is a report and we really are a work-in-progress (in both senses of the word), I wanted to highlight vital areas where our work is progressing and vital areas where we must continue to work hard in order to become the wholly sustainable model of a college-in-progress that is so needed in the world today. Allow me to take you back a bit. Two and half years ago with full accreditation in hand, we launched FACT—Framework for Antioch College’s Transition—a design/ build planning and action process aimed at creating a viable pathway forward for our institution. FACT was conceived with an understanding that as a startup in a highly difficult environment for small colleges we had limited time and resources with which to define why and how Antioch College should matter to prospective students, their supporters and a wider world where Antioch College is not well-known. It was also our belief that to maximize successful outcomes and align with Antioch’s historic values, FACT must allow for a high degree of participation from students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners. So what have been the results? Since launching the first FACT workshop, “Design/Build Week,” in August 2016, we have covered a great deal of ground, including:
03
• Outlining and prioritizing ideas and initiatives around many of the College’s “curricular assets”—for example Co-op programing, Glen Helen/Antioch Farm and Kitchens, Coretta Scott King Center, Wellness Center, WYSO, and the Herndon Gallery—which resulted in the building out of projects and influenced subsequent developments related to: • Articulation of the “Antioch College@175: A New Kind of American College” vision centered on the “Own Your Education” value proposition (see page 2) and the five Areas of Practice (see page 10); • Faculty design and implementation of a new curriculum with a focus on self-design majors, in record time; • Adoption of a new academic calendar, making possible cross-registration at other schools, multi-year admission points for transfer students, and two flexible fiveweek blocks to allow for special project courses and institutes taught by qualified alumni, faculty and staff, and professionals from a variety of disciplines; • Development of new admissions and financial aid systems and strategies leading to the recruitment of a successful fall 2018 class; • Creation of a business plan and financial framework emphasizing revenue generation from enrollment and other sources as well as philanthropy; • The Board of Trustees giving a green light to the planning of a comprehensive fundraising campaign to support the full implementation of the “New Kind of College” vision and related strategies; • Launch of the alumni Winning Victories Grant funded by Matt Morgan ’99; and
• Antioch’s gaining of a silver rating by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) and inclusion in the Sierra Club Cool Schools’ list and other college guides. (And these are just some of the top-level advancements with many more remarkable accomplishments and developments going unmentioned). Our vision for a new kind of college is predicated on the pressing needs in the world that are not being met, and by the unrelenting pressures on the American higher educational system that are preventing the innovation required to address those needs. We believe a new kind of college must bring a different orientation and approach to that process of innovation. It must formulate itself as a platform for generating individual and community resilience and in being actively responsive to the rapidly shifting landscapes of problems and opportunities as they emerge. It goes without saying that such a college has to provide students with intellectually demanding instruction across a wide range of thinking and learning strategies, from the sciences to the humanities, and from the arts to the social sciences. Moreover, at Antioch College, we seek to ensure that interdisciplinary and transdiciplinary methodologies and investigations flourish and that multiple modes of knowing are both respected and represented educationally. It is no less a goal to build our new kind of college on Antioch’s historic strengths and, therefore, we have set three “landmarks” to guide our present and future development, each of which resonates with ideals that are familiar
and enduring to those who know us: • Own Your Education, whereby we challenge our students (and other members of the community) to take full responsibility for the process and product of the learning environment we co-create together; • Educate Experientially and practically through our singular Co-op Program and other applied opportunities such as the new Areas of Practice; and • Act for Justice, by educating, inspiring, and supporting our students to embrace, participate in, and lead socially responsible undertakings aimed at redress and change. Even if it is very small—as Antioch is at the moment—a new kind of college can be mighty in ways that belie its financial girth. Yet, to do so it must be richly multidimensional and holistic in the educational experiences it fosters for students; it must be many colleges in one. This is why our vision describes Antioch College as: • A college of agency, where students truly own their educations to shape their lives and world; • A college of laboratory learning, where students rigorously create, acquire, and test knowledge and knowhow toward finding better ways of knowing, living, working, and being together; • A college of practice, where students develop and strengthen the habits of mind, hand, and heart through disciplined inquiry rooted in the liberal arts and deepened through real-world engagement via Co-op and other applied learning opportunities;
04
• A college of participation, where using the tools of deliberative democracy, students are fully empowered to contribute to the building and governance of the Antioch community; • A college of resilience and self reliance, where smart, resourceful management practices and a “do-it-ourselves” spirit are modeled for and by students and other members of the community; • A college of collaboration, where the idea of working in common cause involves students in innovative partnerships well beyond the immediate boundaries of campus and community; and • A college of activism, where students are able to apply their knowledge and passion in service to others in the continued Antioch College legacy of winning victories for humanity and the planet. Of course, as a work-in-progress, a formidable list of “must-dos” remains. We think of these as our strategic priorities, forming the key action areas of the “New Kind of College” plan, which: 1. Increases enrollment, through both recruitment and retention, at rates that grow the student body and contribute consistently to the academic and financial strength of the College; 2. Supports our faculty and staff by investing in their retention and professional development; 3. Builds our fiscal durability through robust management and dynamic development of our resources; 4. Engages our extraordinary alumni as a network of change agents and principal advocates for the power of an Antioch College education; 5. Honors and sustains our College’s core values and educational philosophy; 6. Grows our leadership by seeking inspired, knowledgeable, and experienced individuals who resonate to the Antioch
05
College purpose and vision; 7. Enlists donors by expanding the circle of people and funding agencies who see the need for an Antioch College education as vitally as we; 8. Stewards our physical campus through the wise, innovative, and environmentally sensitive use of our facilities, land, and energy resources; 9. Forges new partnerships through collaboration and innovative approaches to work that creates new opportunities and win/win outcomes; 10. Tells our story by relating and relaying the many accounts of how our talented students, faculty, staff, and alumni and are winning victories for humanity and the planet by practicing their Antioch education. By defining and pursuing initiatives in each of the ten areas above, and doing that in alignment with the major “landmarks” identified earlier, we are confident with your continued support that Antioch can become the new kind of college required by our times and necessary to prepare the current and next generations of Antiochians. Despite its struggles over many years, our College has consistently stood apart as a place for transformational, life-changing education, one student at a time. Our goal is for that kind of education to grow and prosper here in Yellow Springs, Ohio, in the middle of EVERYWHERE. And how is that? Because on the wings of a Co-op there aren’t many places or experiences in the world that exceed the reach of an Antiochian and an Antioch education. Once again, thank you for all you have done and continue to do to make Antioch College possible. Warmly,
Tom Manley President, Antioch College

I feel a lifelong debt to Antioch College. It’s the first place that I ever got to call Home, the first community that ever made me feel like I belonged. What I learned at Antioch is priceless: critical thinking, opportunity in adversity, organizing, community-building and deliberation, affirmative consent... I learned how to edit a newspaper, how to facilitate a meeting, how to act more ethically toward others. But most importantly, Antioch taught me resilience: to keep going against all odds. I give to Antioch because Antioch gave me more than I can ever repay. When the announcement of the closing happened at the end of my first year, it felt like the end of the world, but fighting for the independence and re-opening of the College alongside the students, faculty, and relentlessly brave, brilliant, and committed alumni who took part in the movement to save Antioch was the adventure of a lifetime. I think the feeling we all shared at the time, that fueled our determination, was that we couldn’t imagine a world without Antioch College: it felt unbearable. I believe that is still true today, maybe more than ever. I give to Antioch because I know of no worthier cause in these troubled times than to support the Antioch education of changemakers.

AREAS OF PRACTICE
Toward a College of Practice Antioch College is best described by the set of living and learning practices, which intentionally shape our community in relationship to the world. The concern for the education of the whole person, which is the cornerstone of liberal arts learning, remains at the center of our college of practice. It addresses foundational questions of how we: • Learn to know, • Learn to make and do, • Learn to live together, and • Learn to balance the development of meaningful, healthy inner and outer lives.
At Antioch College doing something with your learning is a hallmark. Students graduate with résumés, not just degrees. Education is strongly oriented toward the experiential and applied. Whether in classrooms, laboratories, or in the exceptional Co-op work-for-credit program, students learn by doing. To strengthen and focus that learning we offer a set of five interrelated areas of practice. Each practice is supported within the curriculum, by distinctive resource centers, on- and off-campus work placements, and through strategic partnerships with local, national and international organizations.
A college of practice cultivates the habits of learning, doing, living, and being in the world in experientially rich ways. It serves as a laboratory where students offer, test, and develop thinking and action in praxis-based environments. As a consequence of this kind of learning, students move from passive consumers of knowledge to active producers and shapers of knowledge and understanding; they extend beyond simply knowing to knowing how. In a college of practice, students have a high degree of agency, and therefore, greater individual and shared responsibility to co-create their educations. This requires ongoing and deep collaboration with faculty, staff, other students, alumni, and members of the community at large.

I have had a lifelong love of learning across a broad range of fields. I get more out of practical educational experiences than from coursework, and I certainly have more fun learning that way. Collaboration has also been an underlying theme in my life. My greatest successes have come from getting to know the people around me—whether students, faculty, staff, coworkers, or neighbors— and working with them towards common goals. Those are also hallmarks of an Antioch education. That is why it seems so natural for me to support Antioch as it reinvents itself to prepare future generations to take pleasure in winning their victories for humanity. Catherine A. McHugh ’73

ADVANCEMENT REPORT
Supporting the vision for Antioch College Our 2016-17 and 2017-18 Donor Report details the generosity of Antioch College’s alumni and friends over these last two years. With deep gratitude we say thank you to each and every one of you who has helped to advance the College. Philanthropic achievements over the last two fiscal years, ending always on June 30, include the following: • $25,121,992 was given by 7,785 individuals, foundations, and other organizations in support of the College’s mission to educate young people for meaningful lives of consequence. • 24.5% of alumni supported the College during each of the two years covered by this report. Alumni participation is an important number in higher education. It speaks to the value of the institution as an alma mater, and is taken note of by foundations and others evaluating the College. While this number is strong in comparison with many other colleges, we can and must do more to engage and reach Antioch’s younger alumni in particular; the College’s long-term future depends on them. • Almost $2 million ($1,877,578 to be exact) in new scholarships was given in the recognition that young people need help to afford college. 46% of our students are Pell Grant eligible, meaning that financial aid is such a necessity that the federal
government will assist with grants and low-interest loans. Many of the remaining students also have great financial need and could not come to Antioch without help. So although Antioch is the first choice for most of our students, they do have other choices. The availability of generous scholarships makes all the difference. We thank our scholarship donors; you are not only helping young people achieve their dreams of an Antioch education, you are helping us to be affordable and competitive. • The establishment of the Coretta Scott King Legacy Luncheon, an annual benefit in commemoration of one of our most inspiring alumni. This event has expanded Antioch’s visibility into the greater Miami Valley and does the College proud in bringing to attention to the College’s educational mission and commitment to freedom and justice. We thank all who have joined us to support this wonderful community gathering. • The Hugh Taylor Birch Legacy Society grew from 70 to 103 members. Many of these new commitments included a specific intended amount that taken together comes to a staggering $11 million. Members, please accept my deep thanks on behalf of the Antioch College community. Your forwardthinking generosity is a testimonial to the power and lifelong value of an Antioch education and will have an impact for years to come.

• The Volunteer Work Project—those zesty individuals who don’t mind a little dirt under their fingernails—gave the College 6,380 hours of their time, bringing entire buildings back to life, beautifying our iconic campus, filing, folding, and ferrying (boxes that is). They warm the hearts of the students, staff, and faculty who are privileged here on campus to know, and in many instances work alongside them. We are so appreciative. • 100% participation in giving by the Alumni Board. These dedicated individuals continue to be the vital link between the College and our alumni community—organizing Reunion, leading chapters and hosting gatherings, welcoming Co-op students into their homes and giving them amazing new opportunities, attending college fairs and recruiting students, leading the new Winning Victories Grant Program—their contributions to the College, both large and small, are endless. • Our Board of Trustees collectively gave close to $5.5 million over the two years, not to mention their leadership and guardianship. Their strong working partnership with President Manley and the staff and faculty mean so much to us as Antioch continues to address the challenges of being viable during a time of great disruption in higher education. • And, I would be remiss if I did not extend gratitude to the numerous alumni and friends who support and enrich the experiences of our students in a variety of ways.

As the person responsible for the College’s fundraising efforts, I trust you will be in touch if you should find a mistake in this report or have any other insights or advice to offer. While we may be doing our best, there is always room for improvement, and more to the point, we would not be Antioch College if not for new ideas! I am always happy to hear from you. With your help Antioch persists onwards, realizing our ambition to be a new kind of college where students own their education and where making a contribution is de rigeur. Our determination does not waver thanks in very great part to the dedication, encouragement, and true generosity of our alumni and friends. We are grateful that you are sharing in this journey.

In appreciation of what Antioch gave to me, I give back to Antioch in the hopes of a better tomorrow. Antioch affirmed my beliefs in social and political justice, dared me to try to make a difference, and gave me the courage to fail. While it looks very different from the College I entered in 1963, the commitment to academic rigor, community life, and Co-op—our cultural mitochondrial DNA—has emerged unscathed from the dark years under the university, giving hope for a renewed Antioch for the 21st century.

WHAT IS ANTIOCH COLLEGE Antioch College is a new kind of college dedicated to a rigorous education that is grounded in shared humanity with experiential learning at its very core. Here students plan, create, and own their education. Antioch College prepares students for personal responsibility in advancing positive change in our communities, our country, and our world.
HOW OUR COMMUNITY ACHIEVES ITS MISSION Antioch College’s staff and students are engaged in a process to realize an advanced curriculum. A vital element in the curriculum is experiential learning which starts with students’ participation in designing their own curriculum and culminates in the wellknown and respected Cooperative Education program. The Co-op program, also known as work-integrated learning, is a structured method of combining classroom-based education with practical work experience designed to help students make a smooth and successful school-to-work transition.
WHY ANTIOCH COLLEGE Built on a model of shared governance, an emphasis on social justice, and a culture of inclusion and acceptance, Antioch College is winning victories for humanity. As a creative community, our students, faculty, and staff demonstrate leading-edge thinking and pioneering policies that truly change lives. Our students, faculty, and staff believe that Antioch is more than an institution; it’s a movement. We stand for exceptional education, and, importantly, for improving lives, bettering our community, living sustainably, and effecting real and positive change in our society.
