The

Keystone Society

The unrestricted annual support provided by Keystone Society gifts allows us to provide an unparalleled engineering education. Members invest $50,000 that can be given as a five-year pledge to the unrestricted fund, giving the college the flexibility to respond to emerging opportunities.

The individuals who joined The Keystone Society in 2005 are:

Howard E. Palmes ’60 Electrical Engineering Vice President, Network Operations, retired BellSouth Corporation “I am glad to contribute to the future of the College of Engineering at Auburn University. I have the utmost faith in Dean Benefield and his team. The strategic planning and development that has been done give me confidence that the college will continue to grow and improve in the coming years.”

William B. Reed ’50 Mechanical Engineering President, retired Southern Company Services, Inc. Owner and Chairman System Controls, Inc. “Auburn Engineering enjoys an excellent national reputation, but new technology and worldwide competition require increased expenditures for skilled faculty, facilities and research contracts to maintain this position.

Unfortunately, the state of Alabama is not providing the necessary funding to support these expenditures. I am pleased to be able to make a small contribution to assist the work of Dean Benefield and his staff.

For me, ‘It did begin at Auburn.’”

Paul J. Spina Jr. ’63 Electrical Engineering Owner and CEO Spina Enterprises Inc. Managing Member Foresight Development, LLC “Having earned my way through Auburn on the co-op plan, I can appreciate some students needing financial help to achieve their dream.

My experiences at Auburn literally changed my personality, self-confidence and, in fact, my life. My desire to give back in service and financial assistance is only one aspect of my deep love for Auburn University.”

William J. Ward ’55 Mechanical Engineering General Chairman, Utilities Sales, retired General Electric Company “As a native of Auburn, I have always been proud of my heritage and education, which have held me in good stead throughout my life and my 42-year business career. I am pleased to be able to give back to Auburn through the Keystone Society and I encourage other graduates to use their company matching fund programs for this purpose.

Today’s business leaders are looking for engineers with skill sets in technology, globalization, leadership, teamwork, and with a passion for their work and a strong desire to succeed. Our engineers must have these learning opportunities to assure that Auburn reaches its rightful place among the top engineering colleges in the country. The Keystone Society is an excellent way to support this vision.”

Endowments Endowments are gifts that provide perpetual income for the advancement of Auburn Engineering. The Auburn University Foundation, in accordance with AUF policy, invests the principal of the endowed fund. The fund’s yearly earnings go toward the support of the program or initiative designated by the donor. For some endowments, a portion of each year’s earnings is reinvested into the principal, thereby growing the endowment and helping to secure Auburn’s endowment base. These gifts provide the college with the security of guaranteed support each year.

The following endowments were established in 2005 for the benefit of the students, faculty, and programs of the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering:

Endowed Scholarships

AU Pulp and Paper Alumni Scholarship Endowment Carroll T. Tolar Memorial Endowment Cavan S. Tubbs Endowment for Scholarships Charles Cockrell Endowment for Scholarships Christopher J.G. Couch Endowment Civil Engineering Class of ’76 Endowment Dr. Brian J. Carnahan Memorial Endowment Eddie Little Memorial Freshman Endowment Julian and Dorothy Davidson Scholarships Ray Bass Endowment for Scholarships Scarborough Electrical Engineering Endowment

Endowed Professorships

John Wilford Brown Endowed Chair

Funds for Excellence

Stone Fund for Excellence Jim Cooper Fund for Excellence

Planned Gifts

Planned gifts are named as such because even though they are given today, the college will not realize their benefit until sometime in the future. They come in many different forms and serve as a way for donors to manage their affairs and plan for the future while making a gift to the college. Planned gifts enable alumni and friends to continue building a bright future for the college long after they are gone.

The planned gifts established in 2005 are: 1942 Mr. William Cannady 1943 Mr. Warren Fleming 1956 Dr. James O’Rourke 1959 Dr. Samuel Ginn 1968 Mr. James McDaniel 1973 Mr. James Wesson 1979 Mr. Jeff Stone 1981 Mrs. Susan Nolen Story 1982 Mr. Maury Gaston 1993 Mr. Robert Wellbaum Friends Mrs. Sarah Davis Ms. Sheila McCartney Mr. William F. Walker 10

Annual Gift Scholarships Annual gift scholarship funds are given to the College of Engineering each year to support its scholarship program. These scholarships are not fueled by principal or earnings so the number the college can offer may vary each year depending upon donor contributions.
