President’s Report For someone in my position, it can be tempting to try to identify a single thing – a silver bullet – that will ensure DePauw’s future strength and success. I am reminded, however, that rarely is excellence achieved in such a way. The DePauw experience is complex, and our commitment to strengthening it must be also. But if there is one thing that must be in place should DePauw wish to remain strong, and get stronger, it is the support of its graduates and friends. The year that ended – by every measure a record year of support for the University – shows that this foundation is firmly in place. As I reflect on the past year, and on the gifts and overwhelming support you have shown for this institution, I am struck by the vast array of initiatives that the University was able to undertake as a result of the support of alumni, families and friends. I am moved by the young alumnus who gave to the annual fund to support scholarships for current students. I am gratified by the planned gifts that will endow the work of our faculty. And I am, of course, awed by a series of gifts that we were able to announce last year that will provide millions of dollars to improve our campus and provide new levels of scholarships to our students. I am most impressed not by what our alumni give, though, but by the reasons they offer for doing so. They speak of their own personal transformations. They speak of the philosophy course that challenged their own underlying assumptions about the nature of the world. They speak of a faculty member who pushed them to work harder than they thought was possible. They speak of standing before 70 of their peers to run for office in their fraternity or sorority. And they speak of friends and classmates whom they would not have met had it not been for DePauw. Mostly, though, they speak of how they were profoundly educated here, of how they grew into themselves and developed the confidence to lead, and of how they want to be sure that students today have an opportunity to experience the DePauw that they came to know and love. As the person who is lucky enough to be the president of this University, I write to you today with a simple message: DePauw is in an excellent place, and it has all reasons to be optimistic about a strong future because of you. Thanks to the generosity of those featured in these pages, and thousands more like them, DePauw is stronger today than it was a year ago. We are better equipped to support our students, and we are able to offer stronger programming to ensure that they go on to succeed. In the years ahead, we will continue to focus on three essential things. First, we will continue to strengthen the education provided here and the experiences available to our students. Second, we will continue to improve our campus so that we attract students of promise and achievement, and educate them in a setting that connects them to each other and supports their development. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we will continue to build our endowment so that we can support our students financially and make this education accessible to those for whom this form of education is right. I must make sure that our students, those students who deserve DePauw, are able to enroll here. I want to be sure that they are supported throughout their four years so that they, like each of you, can lead lives of purpose and remarkable accomplishment. The giving we recognize here has helped to make this, and our other key priorities, possible. On behalf of our students, our faculty and all those who care deeply about DePauw, I offer my thanks for the extraordinary year of support we witnessed and for what you make possible on our campus. Most sincerely,
Brian W. Casey

From the Vice President for Development and Alumni Engagement Dear Alumni and Friends, What a marvelous time to be at DePauw! Earlier this year, I was afforded the opportunity to return to DePauw University as vice president for development and alumni engagement. This new position allows me to work alongside President Brian W. Casey and other committed colleagues in making DePauw even better. It is so fulfilling to help talented young students attain a high-quality, liberal arts education. Our campus has been abuzz with activity as historic buildings are restored, athletic facilities are improved and the grounds of the campus are given vivid life once more. Beyond these visible changes, the University is boosting scholarship funding, establishing important programs to assist our students, and supporting faculty efforts to grow as teacher- and artist-scholars. This is all happening because of you. Your commitment to DePauw is making a difference. You are building a better University, not only for today’s students but also for generations of students to come. I want to thank you for that commitment, for your generosity and, above all else, for believing in DePauw. Sincerely,
Melanie J. Norton

Christopher M. Maine Scholarship Fund to attract the best to School of Music “Vocal music was such an important part of our lives that when Dean Mark McCoy announced his new ideas on the 21st Century Musician, I was immediately enthusiastic about a program that was designed to give performance a more prominent role in music education,” Michael R. Maine ’61 says of the decision he and his wife, Suzanne Bauman Maine ’62, made to direct the Christopher M. Maine Scholarship Fund to the School of Music. The Maines are parents of Melinda Maine Garvey ’89 and the late Christopher M. Maine ’87. Mike and Sue established the Christopher M. Maine Scholarship Fund in 1991 in memory of their son, who died of cancer in 1990, just as he was beginning a law career. In doing so, the Maines wanted to provide incoming students with assistance needed to attend DePauw. In 2012, they generously committed to augment the fund and redirect support to the School of Music in order to attract the best, musically talented young men and women to DePauw. Dean McCoy says of the Maines, “We are both honored and touched by the kindness of this gift. Though they were political science majors, Mike and Christopher were also very involved in the School of Music, both of them the epitome of a DePauw education. This gift, and gifts like these, will help us launch our 21st Century Musician Initiative and strengthen the relationship between the College of Liberal Arts and School of Music. The Maines have been incredibly important to, and incredibly supportive of, DePauw over the years, and this is one more example of their dedication to and love for their alma mater.” Both Mike and Sue are lifetime and annual members of The Washington C. DePauw Society and lifetime members of the 1837 Loyalty Club. Mike currently serves on the DePauw University Board of Trustees, which he joined in 1990. Suzanne has served in the past on the Alumni Association Board of Directors. Mike adds, “We know for certain that Christopher would approve, as musical performance was as important to him as it has been to me and Sue.”

Arts leader and DePauw legacy makes gift to sustain School of Music Sarah Marks Richards ’63 is a third-generation DePauw-ite, a DePauw University legacy to her mother, Dorothy Ruth Stratton Marks ’32, as well as to her grandfather, uncle, aunts and several cousins. “It was inevitable that I, too, would graduate from DePauw,” she says with pride. This past year, DePauw was pleased to accept Sarah’s generous deferred gift to the School of Music for the purpose of advancing its future endeavors. School of Music Dean Mark McCoy expressed his personal gratitude by noting, “This gift from Sarah Richards is particularly meaningful to me. Sarah is an accomplished arts administrator with a career full of examples of successful musical leadership. Her gift will help us create more successful arts leaders, leaders dedicated to art and music in the 21st century.”
Richards was raised in southern Indiana and grew up with music. Her grandmother was an accomplished pianist and organist and her mother a vocalist. Sarah studied voice throughout her youth and received a voice scholarship to the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music, where she attended her freshman year. She transferred to DePauw in order to pursue a liberal arts degree, and she earned an A.B. degree in music and English. She recalls, “A fond memory of DePauw was singing in the University’s production of Carmen.” After continuing to study music and voice at the graduate level, and earning a master’s degree, Richards taught public school in Denver. She went on to serve in higher education for 12 years as dean of women at Albion College in Michigan and as dean of students at Chaminade University in Honolulu. As her career progressed, she founded Hawaii Opera Theatre and served as president. She also held various leadership roles with other recognized arts organizations: director of the Pan Pacific Auditions for the Metropolitan Opera National Council, panelist for the National Endowment of the Arts, and director of the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts. Currently, she serves as president of Hawaii Theatre Center, where she was instrumental in raising $32 million to restore and renovate its historic theatre, now a major performing arts center in downtown Honolulu. Richards recently attended a milestone reunion at DePauw. “It was a joy to return for my 50th reunion and see the spectacular transformation of the campus, and particularly the Judson and Joyce Green Center for the Performing Arts. I was most impressed with the facilities, faculty and programs of the School of Music, but most particularly by the vision of Dr. Mark McCoy.” Of her major contribution to DePauw, she says, “I am hopeful that my gift to the School of Music will strengthen its programs and provide increased opportunities for future DePauw-ites.”

Computer Science Founders Fund for Excellence builds on donor’s vision Robert “Bob” J. Thomas is sometimes called the “father of computer science at DePauw.” You won’t hear any arguments otherwise. The former professor of mathematics and professor of computer science – the only faculty member to hold both titles – arrived at DePauw in 1958, long before a computer science department was formed. In fact, DePauw was still years away from owning its first computer. The practicality of teaching computer science courses under those conditions was met with reasonable skepticism from the head of the mathematics department, Clinton B. Gass.
computer science, such as binary and hexadecimal number systems, Boolean algebra and logical design. But he still found a way to introduce students to programming. They would write simple programs using punched paper tape and take them to Rose Polytechnic Institute, now Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, to run on a computer there. The somewhat unorthodox course met Gass’ satisfaction, and Thomas was allowed to continue. In 1961, before Thomas went on sabbatical to complete a Ph.D. at University of Illinois, President Russell J. Humbert visited him at his house and asked if he would be the first director of a new computer center. Thomas later learned that this arrangement – to which he agreed – was made to secure a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for the University’s first computer, a desk-sized and -shaped IBM 1620 punch card model. The computer was delivered while Thomas was still on sabbatical, and as he was the only person on campus capable of operating or even comprehending the $120,000 machine, it remained in particularly poor storage. “The computer was stored outdoors in below freezing weather, but it was OK,” Thomas says. Upon his return, Thomas set up the computer in the basement of the Studebaker Memorial Administration Building and used it to teach the first computer science course with a DePauw computer in spring 1963, an event whose 50th anniversary is being celebrated in 2013.
“Dr. Gass, and another long-term professor here, wondered how I could teach [a computer science course] without a computer, so they audited the course and attended every lecture,” Thomas remembers. “Somehow it did not bother me as a new teacher to have the department head listening to my every word.” Only slightly hampered by the lack of a computer on campus (and the close supervision), Thomas taught principles of

The very first anniversary of the computer’s use was also marked by celebration. Thomas’ wife, Doris, made a cake for the occasion complete with a vertical control panel and “lights” – two iconic features of the IBM 1620 that made it a common prop in the era’s science fiction films. Years later, when students asked for a course using the popular COBOL programming language, Thomas made arrangements to run programs at Indiana State University, as DePauw did not have a computer capable of reading the code. Once again, students wrote programs at DePauw – this time on punch
cards – which Thomas would check three times a week at ISU. The more corrections needed, the longer Thomas stayed in Terre Haute that night. DePauw soon purchased its own WATBOL compiler for COBOL from the University of Waterloo. Until his retirement in 1991, Thomas led the computer science curriculum within the mathematics department. His students went on to work at places such as IBM, the University of Illinois computer department and the prestigious Bell Labs. When he left DePauw, no single faculty member could truly replace him, and an independent computer science department was formed shortly thereafter in 1993 with three founding faculty members: Carl P. Singer ’66, a student of Thomas who retired in 2007, Dave A. Berque and Gloria Childress Townsend, who remain at DePauw.
This year, a gift from Bob and Doris established the DePauw Computer Science Founders Fund for Excellence. Created to help the department remain at the forefront of computer science education, the fund honors the 50th anniversary of pioneering work done by Thomas, the 20th anniversary of the creation of DePauw’s computer science department and work done by the department’s founding members to build on Thomas’ vision. The fund endows the Robert J. Thomas Outstanding Computer Science Senior Award for a graduating senior in the department, and it supports computer science coursework, research, and software development and outreach projects involving students. Inspired by Thomas’ gift, an anonymous donor has already added to the fund.

Students discover, prepare and connect for their lives after DePauw Bellani says Hubbard Center staff members help students focus their efforts on each part of the center’s approach: Discover. Prepare. Connect. The steps are built sequentially throughout all four years of a student’s career at DePauw.
Students will be even better prepared for their lives after DePauw through the innovative, new Kathryn Fortune Hubbard Center for Student Engagement located in a renovated Memorial Student Union Building. A comprehensive program of life coaching throughout all four years at the University will lead students more effectively to the next steps in their personal and professional lives. The Hubbard Center is a destination center for strengthened student advising for off-campus study, summer internships, Winter Term programs, community service, national fellowships and awards (such as Fulbrights), job-skills readiness, and graduate and professional school preparation. “We are leading higher education with one of the very first comprehensive centers for student engagement,” says Rajesh “Raj” Bellani, dean of experiential learning and career planning. “We’re connecting all the dots for students; the one-stopshop feature is unique among national liberal arts colleges. It’s important not only that all the programs are in one location, but also that we’re working on all those programs in a coordinated way with students during all four years.”
10
Easy access to Hubbard Center programs is exemplified by an Advising Bar – akin to the Apple Store’s Genius Bar – in the Union Building lobby that allows students to walk in Monday through Friday from 11 a.m.-2 p.m., which is a high-traffic time when students are eating lunch in the Hub Café. Students are often pleasantly surprised to discover how many resources the Hubbard Center offers them, according to Bellani. At a first annual event, first-year students met and talked with Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD) alumni at a dinner during Opening Weekend in August. Fifty GOLD alumni returned to campus to share their insights with the incoming students. Alumni also met with First-Year Seminar classes, and B. Kyle Kerrigan ’10 gave an inspiring keynote welcome to the Class of 2017. Twenty alumni talked with students at the Sophomore Institute, now in its second year. Junior-year programming includes “boot camps” to prepare students for MCAT, LSAT and GRE in order to apply to professional and graduate schools. Looking toward life after graduation, seniors participate in a real-world program on financial literacy, which also draws on alumni to provide advice. More than ever, alumni are key to the programs provided to students. “We are creating hallmark programs in the Hubbard Center that connect alumni to the lives of our students for mentorship,” Bellani says. “We want alumni to give their time. Time is very important to the lives of our students, whether
it’s through providing internships, informational interviews, networking events or other activities.”
President George W. Bush appointed her to the J. William Fulbright Board in 2006.
“The creation of this center will help students develop a pathway for each of their four years at DePauw to include academic advising, cocurricular advising, mentoring and experiential learning so that they are uniquely prepared for their post-college career,” says Kathryn Fortune Hubbard ’74, who with her husband, Allan B. Hubbard, gave $5 million to support creation of the Hubbard Center in the Union Building, where renovation is still underway.
Allan Hubbard served as assistant to President George W. Bush for economic policy and was director of the National Economic Council. During the George H. W. Bush administration, he was deputy chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle and executive director of the President’s Council on Competitiveness. He is founder and chairman of the board of E&A Industries, which has bought and grown a number of companies throughout the United States since 1977.
Kathryn Hubbard, a member of DePauw’s Board of Trustees, is cofounder of Bridges of Understanding, a nonprofit, nonpolitical group dedicated to fostering better understanding between the United States and the Arab world.

Alumni parents’ gift endows career preparation in Center for Student Engagement DePauw’s Hubbard Center for Student Engagement. “For DePauw to be successful in its mission and continue its legacy as an incubator of leaders, it is critical for our students to plan proactively for life beyond this campus and to understand the opportunities available in the global economy,” said Ken Coquillette when their gift was announced. Carrie Coquillette added, “This gift will ensure that all students receive the support and guidance necessary to help them make the connections between the classroom and their passions that will best prepare them for lives of extraordinary achievement and purpose.” Rajesh “Raj” Bellani, dean of experiential learning and career planning, said, “With the support of this generous gift, we can provide the advising and career planning that will ensure that our students take full advantage of the cocurricular and experiential opportunities that are a hallmark of the DePauw experience.” At colleges like DePauw, sophomore year can be a challenging time for students. The first year is packed with programs that orient students to life at college. By junior year, students have selected a major and are working toward completing it, and in the senior year, students are guided toward the next phase of their lives. The second year at college, however, can be a challenging time for many students. Recognizing the importance of this year for the success of DePauw students, and its critical role in helping students begin to learn how to take charge of the direction of their lives, Kenneth W. and Carrie Melind Coquillette, both 1982 graduates of DePauw, chose to make a gift of $2 million to fund the creation of a Sophomore Institute. Their gift also funds a new Summer Internship Program, strengthens career preparation programming, and supports other staffing and program enhancements in 12
New programming made possible by the Coquillettes’ gift will significantly enhance career advising for students within the Hubbard Center, and it will support a new peer-topeer education program that will be aimed primarily at sophomores. Peer educators, to be known as Coquillette Peer Advisers, will enhance the advising available from professional staff. “This gift is a reflection of how deeply Ken and Carrie care about the full development of our students and their preparation for life after DePauw,” President Brian W. Casey said. “Their gift will strengthen our ability to provide crucial guidance and support to our students.” Both Sophomore Institute and the Summer Internship Program have quickly become wildly popular with DePauw’s students. One student intern reported that his experience,
supported by the Coquillettes’ gift, “has really given me the tools necessary to take control of my education and begin learning in a way that will allow me to reinvest my knowledge immediately into a community.” Kenneth W. Coquillette is a managing director at Goldman, Sachs & Co. in Chicago, where he is co-head of Midwest Investment Banking. He is a member of the University’s Board of Trustees and a trustee of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. Prior to joining Goldman Sachs,
Coquillette worked at Indiana National Bank. An economics major at DePauw, he earned an M.B.A. degree in finance from Indiana University. Carrie M. Coquillette graduated Phi Beta Kappa from DePauw and served as an executive of AT&T prior to retiring to raise a family. She and her husband have two children: Catherine (Washington University in St. Louis Class of ’12) and Kevin (DePauw University Class of ’15).

LaFollettes’ gift supports pre-med program this kind of course will now be able to compete on a level playing field for those limited openings.” Of their gift, Ev LaFollette says, “It is our goal for the LaFollette Fund to become the seed for creating a highly recognized pre-med program at DePauw University.”
Evelyn “Ev” Whaley LaFollette ’63 and her husband, Dr. James “Jim” W. LaFollette, already helped one of their children prepare for application to medical school. Through their generosity, many more in the DePauw family will have their support, too. Established by the LaFollettes in summer 2013, the Evelyn Whaley & James W. LaFollette, M.D. Endowed Fund for Medical School Preparation supports a Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) preparatory course unique to DePauw. During a new “MCAT boot camp” Winter Term, DePauw’s medical school hopefuls will receive peer-led instruction by senior students who themselves performed well on the test. The LaFollette Fund will make the course accessible to students with financial need by reducing the cost of the Kaplan-based curriculum – typically a few thousand dollars per student – as well as provide for related application seminars. “The LaFollettes’ gift is critical to our mission of preparing all our students for the full range of opportunities available to them after DePauw,” says Rajesh “Raj” Bellani, dean of experiential learning and career planning. “The new MCAT preparation program will help our pre-med students become desired applicants at the country’s top medical schools, and students who otherwise would have lacked the resources for

Ev began thinking of ways to give back to her alma mater in recognition of her 50th reunion in June 2013, during which she served as class cochair. “I knew I wanted to give back to the University because my four years there were just what I needed in the early ’60s,” she says. “I was focused on having a family throughout my first several reunions, so it was not until after my 25th that a tug to thank DePauw for the many opportunities it afforded me began to resonate with me. As my 50th approached, I shared with Jim that I wanted to make a gift to celebrate my 50th anniversary of a place I love so much.” She and Jim, lifetime members of DePauw’s 1837 Loyalty Club and donors to the Tiger Club, spoke with the University about additional possibilities for giving. Of all the options, one that stood out was part of an envisioned overhaul of DePauw’s pre-med program. The University had offered an MCAT preparatory Winter Term course once before and hoped to offer it again, but the cost of the course was prohibitive for many students, thus limiting enrollment. However, a permanent Winter Term course would be unquestionably valuable to students – the doctors in the LaFollette family knew that from experience. Both Jim and their son, Dr. Christopher P. LaFollette ’98, recalled the difficulty of studying for the MCAT in the middle of an already cramped spring semester. Ev and Jim decided that if DePauw continued the course, they would help keep it filled. “The idea of an endowment to enable pre-med students to take the preparatory class came into being, hopefully making their journey easier and more successful,” Ev says. “We think providing this class during Winter Term will allow students time to concentrate fully on the preparatory course, and we also hope our fund will provide for students who may not otherwise be able to afford the class.”
Efroymson family gift broadens the vision of art and art history students Through the generosity of Jeremy D. Efroymson and the Efroymson Family Fund, a fund of CICF (Central Indiana Community Foundation), DePauw University offered two opportunities during the 2012-13 school year for studio art and art history students to enhance their studies and competitive standing in the field: The Efroymson Summer Fellowship Competition and The Efroymson Family Art Internship.
Reflecting on her travels, Zucker says, “I know that this experience – a mere six weeks of my life – will have a lasting impression on my understanding of the arts, my culture and the workings of the world around me for years to come. I could not be more grateful for what I have learned in this time, and I could not have done so without the generous funding of the Efroymson summer grant.” The Efroymson Family Art Internship is a oneyear, paid internship awarded to a DePauw student who graduated in the previous year with a major in either studio art or art history, and who plans to pursue an advanced degree in the arts. Art and art history faculty members base their selections of the recipients on the overall quality of their work as undergraduates and their professional promise.
Regarding the decision to support the programs, Jeremy Efroymson says, “The Efroymson Family Fund likes to think more broadly and also be adaptable in our funding. Related specifically to DePauw and the art and art history department, we know that travel support is not readily available. I believe in the benefits of traveling off-campus, to get students into a new environment for learning.” The Efroymson Summer Fellowship Competition awards a summer off-campus experience in the visual arts. Possibilities include an intensive summer course, a workshop, an unpaid internship, a summer residency or an intensive language course. Rebecca A. Zucker ’14 traveled throughout China to learn about the extensive history of porcelain, working firsthand with the master craftsmen of Jingdezhen, the so-called porcelain capital of the world.
Last year, three Efroymson Fifth-Year Interns worked independently on their own research, each under the guidance of a specific faculty member. They also became involved in the local community by helping run nearby galleries, the Richard E. Peeler Art Center at DePauw and Low Road Gallery in Greencastle. Overall, the recent graduates completed a set of experiences designed to provide as much practical professional expertise as possible. “This year of work and independent research allowed our students to strengthen their portfolios and compete for positions in M.F.A. and arts management programs with students from prestigious and rigorous art schools,” says Michael P. Mackenzie, chair of the art department and associate professor of art and art history. The Efroymson Family Fund continues a long legacy of charitable commitment by the Efroymson family in central Indiana. Lori Efroymson-Aguilera serves as chair of the Efroymson Family Fund, which is a contributing member of The Washington C. DePauw Society. Jeremy D. Efroymson and Elissa Hamid Efroymson serve as vice-chairs.

Joan and Chuck Battey have a long history of giving Joan Westmen Battey ’54 and Charles “Chuck” W. Battey have an impressive history of donating their time, talent and treasure to DePauw University, with Joan giving her first gift to DePauw as a senior in November 1953. A legacy of the late Horace O. Westmen ’17, Joan expresses fond memories of being a college student at DePauw. She majored in English literature, minored in psychology, and was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. She reflects on her experience as “a nice balance between academics and the social life.” Joan says that the couple’s service to DePauw began 20 years ago when she accepted an invitation to serve on DePauw’s Board of Visitors. The board was asked to study how to recruit scholar-athletes, and what they discovered was a lack of funds for DePauw ambassadors to travel and to meet with prospective students. Serving on the Board of Visitors, she says, “keeps you close to the University, and you learn about what’s going on.” This experience led Joan and Chuck on a path of wanting to help with specific funding needs on campus that had special meaning to them. Their first major gift supported athletics. Over the years, one of the couple’s most notable contributions was to create the Joan Westmen Battey Faculty Fellowship. This fund supports projects by faculty members to improve courses in new and challenging ways, enhance the University’s academic programs and realize institutional goals. Preference is given to a faculty member in the English department or the department of economics and management. Since its establishment in 1996, the fund has supported three-year projects by Barbara J. Whitehead (history), C. Matthew Balensuela (School of Music), Frederick M. Soster (geosciences) and Harry J. Brown (English). The 2011-14 Joan Westmen Battey Faculty Fellowship provides support for Professor Brown’s project, “An Anthology of American Death Poems.” His work on this anthology of epitaphs, elegies and farewell poems will expand his teaching of American literature and culture as well as the scholarship on the spiritual legacy of Americans from the colonial period to the present. Chuck and Joan Battey have established several other endowed funds: the Joan Westmen Battey Endowed 16
Scholarship, Charles and Joan Westmen Battey National Educator of the Year Award Endowment and Battey Fund for Campus Ethics Engagement. The couple recalls one occasion that stands out in their memories – when one honoree flew from his home in India to accept one of their awards. On their years of giving, they confess, “We are the ones who have received more pleasure from it. Every endowed gift has been for a reason we support. Because we visit campus every April, we get to meet with the people (who benefit).” Charles W. and Joan Westmen Battey are recognized as Fellow Lifetime members of The Washington C. DePauw Society.
Barnes’ gift sustains the strength and creativity of DePauw faculty “I valued the environment of a small liberal arts school for an undergraduate education,” Dr. Roberta “Robin” O. Barnes ’70 says. A DePauw legacy and daughter of the late Earl O. Barnes ’31, she calls her college experience “very fulfilling.” She earned a degree in economics and continued to pursue her interest in the field in graduate school, where she met fellow economics student and husband, Dr. Clark J. Chandler. However, it was Robin’s undergraduate education at DePauw that has continued to inspire the couple to give generously to DePauw’s Annual Fund. Robin is an author and retired economist and senior research associate for the Urban Institute in Washington, D.C. Clark is a principal of KPMG LLP’s Washington National Tax/ Economic Consulting Services practice. Over the years, their generous contributions to DePauw have earned them recognition as lifetime members in the 1837 Loyalty Club and The Washington C. DePauw Society. According to Robin, the inspiration to make a meaningful financial commitment to her alma mater developed from serving on the DePauw University Board of Visitors. She explained, “Colleges focus on attracting highly qualified students by offering a strong curriculum and a quality college experience. Another key is the strength and creativity of the faculty. We wanted to support the ongoing effort to attract and retain the best faculty possible.” Robin and Clark established an endowed fund that is, in fact, faculty-centered. The Roberta O. Barnes Endowed Fund for the Center for Grants and Research strengthens faculty grant-seeking capacity by supporting related faculty development and services, enhancing grant partner relations, creating a grant-writing mentoring program, and expanding student research and conference presentation capabilities. While a grant award is the obvious end result of a successful proposal, the grant-writing process can also be a valuable endeavor. The grant-writing process benefits faculty by helping them to focus a scholarly or creative plan, facilitate collaboration with colleagues and students, and connect to the academic and professional community beyond the DePauw campus.
During the past year, faculty in DePauw’s departments of modern languages, computer science, art and biology were successful in securing grants to pursue their scholarly and creative efforts. Terri L. Bonebright, dean of faculty and professor of psychology, reported the ability to provide better support for grant-writing efforts as a direct result of the Barnes Fund. Faculty had access to grant databases via annual subscriptions. Several faculty members attended the Council on Undergraduate Research Dialogues, a workshop at which major granting agencies – such as National Endowment for the Humanities, National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health – gathered. Faculty learned how to write more competitive grant proposals. Recalling the couple’s last visit to DePauw, Robin said she was “reminded of the wonderful DePauw traditions but impressed with the exciting changes, which will make DePauw an even better place to live and learn.”

Gift for stadium strengthens DePauw’s dedication to excellence From the earliest days of the University, DePauw’s student-athletes have found ways to combine their classroom learning with their athletic experiences in ways that prepared them for success as leaders after graduation. Recognizing the importance of the athletic program as a part of the overall student experience, Marshall W. Reavis IV ’84 and his wife, Amy Zino Reavis, made a $5 million gift in May 2012 that will allow for the construction of a new multi-purpose stadium to serve as the home for DePauw’s varsity soccer and lacrosse teams. The stadium, which is already under construction, will be located along Hanna Street, immediately south of Blackstock Stadium, and will serve as the southern anchor of the University’s revamped athletic campus.
DePauw. “It should be no surprise that the nation’s most outstanding Division III athletic programs – from Williams to Bowdoin to Middlebury – are also among the most respected liberal arts colleges in this nation,” she said. “Gifts like the one from Marshall and Amy Reavis allow DePauw to create an environment that equips our student-athletes to be successful at the national level.”
Reavis, who was a four-year football letterman at DePauw and serves on DePauw’s Board of Trustees, identified the enhancement of DePauw’s outdoor athletic venues as an important element in supporting DePauw’s ability to recruit talented scholar-athletes. “If an institution wishes to compete for the best student-athletes on a nationwide basis, particularly for sports such as soccer and lacrosse, it must provide the resources and facilities necessary to support these popular, growing sports,” Reavis said, when the stadium was announced. “Our gift will help ensure DePauw competes in this manner for decades ahead.” The new multi-purpose complex will provide a synthetic turf competition field, four varsity locker rooms and stadium seating for 750 fans. The seating will accommodate fans of the new men’s and women’s lacrosse teams, and of the strong soccer program, which brought home conference championship victories for both the men’s and women’s soccer teams in the 2013 North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) tournament. “Marshall represents the very best of DePauw,” President Brian W. Casey said. “His leadership for this University is invaluable, and his steadfast support for the student experience is unwavering. On behalf of our students, I am deeply grateful for his generosity.” Stefanie “Stevie” Baker-Watson, Theodore M. Katula Director of Athletics and Recreational Sports, also identified the important role of athletics in bringing academically gifted students to 18
Marshall Reavis is founder and chief executive officer of SVM LP, a provider of gasoline, restaurant and other retail gift cards. Prior to founding SVM, Reavis held numerous positions with Mobil Oil during an 11-year period. As a student, Reavis majored in economics and was a member of one of the first cohorts of the University’s Management Fellows Program. Amy Zino Reavis earned a B.S. degree at Illinois State University. Other members of the Reavis family with DePauw ties are Marshall’s children, Emily M. Reavis ’12 and Mitchell A. Reavis ’16. Mitch is a member of the DePauw soccer team, Emily ran track and both have been Little 5 riders. Marshall is also the sibling of Carrie Reavis Erzinger ’83 and Amy Reavis Noden ’87.
Welch gift highlights importance of athletic excellence and healthy living recently completed renovation of the Emison Museum into the University’s admission and financial aid offices. “The gifts of others made it possible for me to attend DePauw and, with their support, I came to appreciate the combination of strong academics and leadership opportunities inherent to athletics that is a hallmark of DePauw. Now Kim and I have an opportunity to support that vision.”
A $5 million commitment from M. Scott ’82 and Kimberlee A. Welch is the lead gift for an ambitious plan to revamp DePauw’s Lilly Physical Education and Recreation Center. Their gift will provide for the construction of the Welch Fitness Center, a new 16,000-square-foot addition that will provide the primary training facility for each of DePauw’s varsity teams and the campus community. The new facility will more than triple the size of the existing fitness center, in order to better serve the growing population of students interested in athletics and fitness on the DePauw campus. With the increased footprint, the facility will provide a venue fully capable of accommodating DePauw’s integrated training model – the University’s preferred approach – in which student-athletes train alongside non-athlete students. This integration is an important part of DePauw’s ability to develop and support successful scholar-athletes who can excel both academically and athletically. “The strength of a college like DePauw is providing a total student experience,” said Scott Welch, who also provided a $1.5 million gift to support ongoing enhancements to DePauw’s new entrance along Anderson Street and the
“Scott and Kim Welch care deeply about our students, and this gift further underlines their commitment to our campus,” President Brian W. Casey said. “This University is blessed to be able to count them among its strongest supporters, and I am deeply thankful for what they continue to do for DePauw.” Construction is taking place through the current academic year, and coaches and students are increasingly excited. “There is a high level of excitement and energy from both coaches and student-athletes when we see and think about what this gift is making possible for DePauw. This gift will impact our entire community and transform our residential campus. Through this process, I have been fortunate to get to know Scott, Kim and their children, and their desire to help DePauw excel is genuine and powerful. They share our vision for DePauw continuing to be one of the nation’s top liberal arts institutions,” Stefanie “Stevie” Baker-Watson, Theodore M. Katula Director of Athletics and Recreational Sports said. Scott and Kim Welch are the parents of Brock (Class of 2010), Lindsay and Emily (Class of 2014). Kim studied at Purdue University. Scott, a member of DePauw’s Board of Trustees, is CEO of Welch Packaging Group, Inc. At DePauw, Welch received a B.A. degree in psychology and was a four-year letterman in football and golf. He serves on the board of directors of Lakeland Financial and Lake City Bank. He is a former board member of Elkhart General Healthcare Systems, Elkhart County Community Foundation, Elkhart YMCA and Elkhart Chamber of Commerce.

Dinwiddies’ gift provides boost to athletics and recreational facilities As a member of DePauw’s football team from 1968 to 1970, Mark B. Dinwiddie Sr. ’71 had a knack for being in the right place at the right time. A ball-hawk in the defensive backfield, Dinwiddie’s 14 career interceptions place him fourth all-time in the team record book. Once again, Dinwiddie is a step ahead, but this time he’s playing offense. He and his wife, Sally Reid Dinwiddie ’70, gave a sizable contribution to the University’s Athletics and Recreation Facilities Master Plan that is sure to score big points from members of the DePauw community.
with significant improvements to competition venues in the University’s Athletics Campus. A new multi-sport stadium is targeted to open in spring 2014, while Phase One of the expansion and renovation of the Lilly Center is slated to be completed by August 2014. However, with the installation of 87,000 square feet of state-of-the-art synthetic turf at Blackstock Stadium this summer, DePauw’s student-athletes are already benefiting from the changes. “The expansion and renovation of the athletics and recreation facilities have the power to transform our entire campus,” says Stefanie “Stevie” Baker-Watson, Theodore M. Katula Director of Athletics and Recreational Sports. “From prospective students considering top liberal arts colleges to our current students, faculty and staff members, our commitment to these facilities is a commitment to the power of our residential campus and our desire to provide health and wellness opportunities for everybody in our community. “We are so thankful to the Dinwiddies for their belief in the DePauw experience and how it can continue to transform the students who come to our campus,” Baker-Watson adds. “Their gift allows us to continue to be among the top liberal arts colleges in the country.” Dinwiddie’s competitiveness on the field carried over into business after DePauw. He went on to found Indianapolisbased industrial packaging and janitorial supplies distributor FlexPAC in 1985, where he remains owner and president of the company. When he heard about the University’s plans to update some of its aging athletics facilities, Dinwiddie, his playing days behind him, knew he had a chance not only to help his old team, but also many others.
Endorsed by the board of trustees in October 2012, the comprehensive Athletics and Recreation Facilities Master Plan provides a road map for investments in athletics and recreation facilities. Phase One of the plan will result in more than $25 million in facility enhancements, including an initial 36,000-square-foot expansion and renovation of the Lilly Physical Education and Recreation Center, along 20
“I’ve always been a big supporter of DePauw athletics,” says Dinwiddie, who was recognized by his rivals at Wabash with the Spirit of the Monon Bell Award in 2008. “I knew that, for DePauw to remain competitive, we needed to upgrade some of our facilities, and I was fortunate to be in a position to do something about it.” Dinwiddie says he looks back fondly at the time he spent
on the sidelines in DePauw’s black and gold. He has some particularly good memories, too. During his three years as a player in the Monon Bell game, DePauw held Wabash to just 27 points and, most importantly, no victories. But it’s the people – such as legendary head coach Tommy Mont and his assistants Ted Katula and Eddie Meyer, all members of DePauw’s Athletic Hall of Fame, and scores of former teammates and fellow players – who made the game worth remembering. Brought together by a 14-ounce leather ball, their friendships have lasted a lifetime.
“I have so many friends I played football with, and many others who were a year or two ahead or behind me,” Mark says. In addition, Mark, a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, has two brothers who are DePauw alumni, Thomas W. Dinwiddie ’69 and Peter M. Dinwiddie ’81. Sally also has a lifelong connection to DePauw. She is a sibling of Monica Reid Zontanos ’68 and member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. The Dinwiddies agree, “DePauw is a special place for all of us.”

Alumni couple, both Class of 1995, give for what DePauw gave them When Justin P. Christian ’95 and Darrianne Howard Christian ’95 met as students at DePauw University, the computer science department was still in its infancy. Justin asserts that the department was on “the leading edge and fairly unique for DePauw” at the time. Both he and Darrianne were computer science majors, and both pursued information technology careers after DePauw. Prior to leaving corporate America in 2003, Darrianne received a M.B.A. degree from University of Notre Dame and worked as an IT project manager for AT&T in Indianapolis. Justin is president/ CEO of BC Forward, a software solutions and staffing company, which he founded in 1998, that employs nearly 1,500 professionals serving global clients throughout North America, Europe and Asia. As parents to three daughters, the couple says that DePauw modeled for them how to encourage young people to pursue their career interests. They speak fondly of their mentor, Gloria Childress Townsend, Tenzer Family University Professor in Instructional Technology and professor of computer science, who remembers her former students well. “I particularly remember how helpful Darrianne was … on a project using positive role models to recruit women to computing. Darrianne fit the project perfectly, because her speaking skills were highly polished and she spoke engagingly about her computing experiences.” Justin credits Professor Townsend in helping him secure internships that opened doors to future jobs and, eventually, to starting his own company. Justin also recalls having enjoyed classes with Dave A. Berque, professor of computer science. “As I moved into my professional career,” Justin says, “I reached back to Professor Berque for (computer science) interns and potential employees to work at my company. Life at DePauw came full circle.” As loyal Annual Fund supporters, Justin and Darrianne have become members of The Washington C. DePauw Society. Justin continues to serve the University as a member of the DePauw Board of Visitors. He also served on the 361º Program Board of Advisers, Alumni Association Board of Directors and Indianapolis Alumni Regional Council. 22
Many factors keep alumni connected to DePauw through the years. For Justin and Darrianne, they include the meaningful relationships they had with their professors, along with their shared personal journey that began on campus. Justin reflects, “DePauw has helped put the pieces in place for us, both professionally and personally. My wife and I met at DePauw, which obviously makes it a special place to us.” Of their longstanding commitment to the DePauw Annual Fund, the two affirm, “We look at it as an honor and a privilege to be in a position to be able to give back.”

Rachel Cheeseman, left, with a fellow VISTA and a friend at the Grand Canyon
My name is Rachel Cheeseman, and I am writing to say thank you for your generous donations to DePauw University that made my education possible.
I am now back in the Midwest, serving as a VISTA leader, supporting a team of nine VISTAs as they begin their own years of service.
At DePauw, I was active in the school’s campus media outlets as a Media Fellow while I fell in love with the disciplines of biology, political science and philosophy. I had a rich and fulfilling experience at DePauw University as I pursued my studies both on campus and abroad. While on campus, I worked as a resident assistant and even a grill cook at our shared haunt, Marvin’s restaurant.
As I sit in my office, realizing the doors that have been opened and will continue to open for me as I continue my work, I grow ever more grateful for the people who supported, and continue to support, the school I’m happy to call my alma mater. The legacies left by Gertrude R. Crain and G. D. Crain, J. David Hogue Jr. and the DeWitt Wallace family made my education, and by extension my accomplishments, possible.
I graduated in 2012, and I am beginning my second year of service with AmeriCorps VISTA. During my first year, I served with a refugee resettlement agency in Phoenix, leveraging my experience as a Media Fellow to assist with an organizational re-branding and development of www.refugeefocus.org.
Thank you for all you have done, are doing and will continue to do, thanks to the legacy you’ve left with our great University. Here’s to you, Rachel A. Cheeseman ’12

Fiscal Year Financial Summary and Budget Report From the Vice President for Finance and Administration Significant progress toward financial and operational stability continued during the year ended June 30, 2013: • The University’s net asset balance increased by a record $110 million to $682 million. • The University’s endowment increased by more than $65 million to $549 million. • The University generated a record $84 million in gifts and gift commitments during the year. • Investment returns for the year were 11.9 percent compared to a strategic benchmark of 9.0 percent. • For the fourth consecutive year, the University’s operating results were favorable when compared to the board-approved operating budget. • For the fourth consecutive year, the University’s long-term debt balance dropped and no draws were made on the University’s short-term line of credit. • The initial phase of the University’s facility master plan was completed during the year and a second phase is under construction. • The University maintained its commitment to access by awarding a record $48.5 million in merit- and need-based financial aid. Direct investment in the DePauw student continues to grow. Thanks to loyal donors like you, the year just ended was a remarkable one; the positive momentum on this campus is both unique and energizing. We are not blind, however, to the financial challenges facing both DePauw and the entire higher education sector. We face three critical financial challenges: • Offering a fully residential, highly engaged experience with close facultystudent interaction is very expensive. We must continue to find ways to manage this cost without diluting the value of the DePauw experience. • Meeting the financial need of students who are not on their own able to afford the experience that DePauw delivers requires a substantial endowment and supportive annual donor base. We believe in the experience and are committed to sourcing the funds that will support an accessible, transformative experience. • Investment in the future is discretionary. Due to limited financial resources, we face the temptation each day to defer investment in innovative academic programming, academic equipment, building maintenance and other investments that impact our future. We must, however, continue our relentless focus on appropriate resource allocation to ensure that we don’t rob future generations by an unwarranted focus on today. With your continued support, I remain confident that DePauw is well positioned to leverage the significant momentum of the present and meet these ongoing challenges of our future. It’s an exciting time at DePauw. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and your University.

Ways to Give A gift to DePauw University is a meaningful statement of your belief in the mission of the institution and its ability to provide its students with a transformative, liberal arts experience. Whether you support our Annual Giving programs, make life-changing opportunities for study abroad possible or establish an endowed scholarship fund, your gifts to DePauw are deeply appreciated. Your philanthropy at DePauw can take many forms, each equally important, and allows for you to make the best gift for your financial situation. Whether it is an immediate gift of cash, securities or property; a life-income gift, such as a gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust; or a planned gift through your will, your loyalty to DePauw will support this generation of students and beyond. Every gift to DePauw is important and may qualify you for membership in special giving clubs and recognition at special giving levels. TYPES OF GIVING AND ASSETS » Pledges or new commitments can be made at any point and most commonly fulfilled through gifts of cash, securities, Visa and MasterCard. A gift of securities may also yield additional tax benefits through the avoidance of capital gains; you should discuss this with your financial adviser, as every situation is different. These gifts are used to fulfill annual, capital and special project commitments. » Many donors are eligible through their employer to receive matching funds for gifts to DePauw. If you are unsure if this benefit is available to you, please check with your employer’s human resources department. » Life-income gifts, such as a charitable gift annuity or remainder trust, can provide a lifetime of income through your charitable gift. In some cases, if using cash or lowyield assets such as a certificate of deposit, you may increase your annual income through establishing a lifeincome gift with DePauw. » A bequest in your will, or through your living trust, allows you to make a gift to DePauw that, in many cases, was not possible during life. You maintain control over your assets during life to meet unexpected needs, and your estate will earn an estate tax deduction for the value of your gift when realized by DePauw. Life income and bequests qualify you as a member of our planned giving society, the Indiana Asbury Legacy Society. » Real estate and personal property make wonderful gifts. Primary residences, vacation homes, farms or personal property, such as art, are popular choices for many donors.
28
» Beneficiary designations of retirement plan benefits and tax deferred assets, such as IRA and 401k plans, make excellent gift choices. When given to DePauw, these assets pass untaxed to the University, whereas leaving them to heirs can result in tax liabilities. Check with your financial adviser to see if you are eligible to make tax-free IRA distributions directly to DePauw. » Life insurance is a forward-thinking gift that often allows you to make a larger gift than otherwise may have been possible. Whether you have an existing policy that is no longer needed or a new one, you can name DePauw as either the beneficiary or the owner, and may be able to deduct your premium payments. » Charitable Lead Trusts are an effective planning vehicle that incorporate both the transfer of wealth within families and charitable giving. Assets placed into a lead trust provide an immediate tax deduction for the donor and immediate income to DePauw, usually for a fixed term of years. At the trust’s termination, the assets pass back to the donor or the donor’s designated beneficiary, usually children or grandchildren, with the potential for substantial tax savings. A lead trust is a powerful instrument for donors who anticipate high federal estate or gift tax issues in the future. » Please visit our website to make a gift online (www.depauw.edu/giving) or contact the Development Office at 800-446-5298 for additional information about making a gift or charitable plans for DePauw.
