MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Brian W. Casey
In assessing accomplishments of the past year, I can assure you that the hallmarks of a DePauw education that alumni recall are still here and continue to be cultivated in preparing students for lives of purpose and meaning. Alumni should take pride in the DePauw of today, and rightly so, because you have supported that success in many important ways. Faculty members, who are active scholars and researchers, are engaged in vigorous and deliberative work to enhance the curriculum, including new courses designed to prepare students for an increasingly global work environment. They have also participated in significant discussions to examine the goals and outcomes of a liberal arts curriculum – namely, that students learn writing, speaking and quantitative reasoning in order to become effective leaders in their communities. The most engaged students at DePauw are those who are connected to their coursework, campus life, and experiential learning on a national and international level. The challenge is to advise students in making connections among all three areas. A new program, Compass Advising Program, is designed to bolster students’ intentionality in terms of choices for their curriculum and pursuits of their practicum.
2 I Donor Annual Report 2014-15
Supporting this dynamic is the Kathryn F. Hubbard Center for Student Engagement, which was formally dedicated this fall and is located in the substantially renovated Memorial Student Union Building. The Center for Student Engagement provides information, resources and advising in the areas of service, study abroad, national fellowships, pre-professional advising, internships and career development – including Winter Term and summer experiences. This integrative approach enables DePauw students to tie the many threads of their liberal arts experience together in meaningful ways that enhance their employment and graduate school opportunities.
The DePauw School of Music officially launched its new downtown Greencastle space, Music on the Square, with a ribbon cutting by internationally renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma. This innovative space features a community music school, courses for lifelong learners, faculty and guest artist performances, and a wide array of community events. It is bringing a new vibrancy to the DePauw and Putnam County communities. The Student Life staff continues to work to create more student-centered spaces on campus as options for student gathering and socializing on campus to enhance the social environment. The greatly expanded Athletics Campus provides outstanding facilities
for the more than half of the student body for whom sports are an important part of their DePauw experience. The accomplishments above and more could only happen with the support of alumni and friends, including those who recommended prospective students to the Admission Office, mentored current DePauw students, provided internships, spoke on campus, made gifts and assisted in many other invaluable ways. To all of you, I say thank-you for making DePauw the university it is today and will be in the future.

“Colleges like DePauw can’t exist, much less prosper, if people who graduated from that institution don’t give back to it. Whereas the past has provided you with this education, it is now your job to provide that to the future generations of DePauw graduates.” – TIMOTHY H. UBBEN ’58, trustee and honorary chairman of The Campaign for DePauw

FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR DEVELOPMENT AND ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT
Melanie J. Norton
Dear Alumni and Friends, “You are the heirs of all the past. It is yours to use, to increase and to bequeath to your successors.” That President’s Charge has been read to each class of DePauw graduates for decades. It signifies the benefits our graduates receive as students at DePauw and the opportunity they have to pay it forward as alumni. The alumni, parents and friends highlighted in this publication understand that their philanthropy provides the fuel to power and sustain DePauw and every experience it offers. This campus is a place they love and call home. Those who support the University with gifts want to ensure that generations to come have the opportunity to take part in a DePauw education. The exceptional liberal arts education provided at DePauw celebrates talented faculty and students from various backgrounds and encourages experiences beyond the classroom all within a beautiful campus. A low student-to-faculty ratio, study abroad opportunities, internships, merit and need-based aid, career services and other specialized opportunities for our students are all realities that most students in higher education never have the opportunity to experience. And it is all possible thanks to those who pay it forward in such astounding fashion.
During the past fiscal year, DePauw became stronger in almost every way. Significant investments in The Fund for DePauw and other annual giving programs hit an all-time high. The addition of more than $20 million in funds specifically dedicated to endowment increases the opportunities we have to make a robust commitment to student access and experiences. We are moving steadily ahead, but there is still much work to do. As you consider a gift to DePauw this year, please also encourage a classmate, fellow parent or friend to support DePauw. We need more alumni, parents and friends to join in this endeavor, and the cumulative impact of all the donors and dollars we receive cannot be understated. DePauw can only survive – and thrive – in the future if we are among the very best institutions of our type in the nation. Those who cherish the education and experiences here know that our graduates make a difference in the nation and world. Leaders and thinkers of consequence don’t happen without an extraordinary foundation and ongoing support. We have a history of achievement and a clear vision for the future. Now it’s our time to help DePauw reach its full potential as one of the best schools in the country. Together, we can change lives and improve DePauw for generations to come. Thank you for your outstanding and important support of DePauw.

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 that is right 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. WAYS OF GIVING » Pledges or new commitments can be made at any point and most commonly fulfilled through gifts of cash, securities, Visa, MasterCard and Discover. A gift of securities may also yield additional tax benefits through the avoidance of capital gains; you should discuss this with your financial advisor, as every situation is different. » Many donors are eligible through their employer to receive matching funds for gifts to DePauw. If you are unsure whether 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 low-yield assets such as a certificate of deposit, you may increase your annual income through establishing a life-income 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. » 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.
6 I Donor Annual Report 2014-15
» Beneficiary designations of retirement plan benefits and tax deferred assets, such as IRA and 401(k) plans, make excellent gift choices. When given to DePauw, these assets pass untaxed to the University, whereas leaving them to heirs can result in significant tax liabilities. » 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 create a new one, you can name DePauw as either the beneficiary or the owner, and you may be able to deduct your premium payments. » Charitable Lead Trusts are an effective planning vehicle that incorporates 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 (depauw.edu/giving) or contact the Development Office at 800-446-5298 for additional information about making a gift or charitable plans for DePauw.

Student Access and Financial Aid
8 I Donor Annual Report 2014-15
Since DePauw University’s founding as Indiana Asbury, the University has sought to offer educational opportunities to students with the gifts and potential to use them to fullest advantage. We have long been committed to access for students regardless of who they are or where they come from. In fact, that commitment dates back to 1837, when our original charter called on the community to maintain the school “for the benefit of the youth of every class of citizens, and of every denomination, who shall be freely admitted to equal advantages and privileges of education.” It is not enough to admit students from all walks of life. We must ensure that our students – the students who are destined for DePauw – can afford to enroll. Through
The Campaign for DePauw, we will rise to meet that challenge. On our climb, we will become a stronger institution, more secure in our reputation and more widely known for admitting students of exceptional academic merit. DePauw offers admission to students of the highest caliber. However, we cannot always provide the financial support needed to make up the difference between the cost of a DePauw education and the amount a student is able to afford. Too often, our admitted students must focus on the aid we offer, rather than on how the education we provide can transform their life.

A LASTING LESSON MARCUS R. VEATCH ’75 AND CYNTHIA C. VEATCH
M
arcus R. Veatch ’75 was convinced that his Spanish class was going to be the end of him.
“The professor said we wouldn’t be communicating
in English at all,” Veatch remembered. And that was going to be a stretch. Marcus wanted out.
“But the professor said, ‘No, stick with it. I think
you’ll be fine.’ So I did. I studied hard and somehow did really well.”
That lesson is one that stuck with him.
“Throughout my career, I’ve been thrown into
those types of situations all the time,” he adds. “But you rise to the occasion and stretch yourself. That’s
the benefit of what you learn at a place like DePauw.” Marcus – an economics major at DePauw, former
president of the DePauw Alumni Association Board of Directors and retired executive director of tax for Verizon Communications, Inc. – calls his time at
DePauw transformational. “When I look back, I don’t

think I could ever return what I got from DePauw,” he says.
Yet, with the creation of the Marcus R. Veatch
Endowed Scholarship, he and his wife, Cindy, who
is a consultant specializing in product development, are trying. They’ve pledged initial funds to establish
the scholarship, while committing an additional gift
from their estate to ensure its existence in perpetuity. In addition, the Veatchs’ support extends to The
Fund for DePauw, a critical source of annual funding for the University. Specifically, they’ve committed
to making leadership-level annual gifts to support DePauw’s annual giving campaign through 2018. “Even though it’s been more than 40 years,
DePauw continues to give back to me every day,” he
says. “I think our job of giving back to the University
is never done, whether that’s through financial gifts or through service. I think there’s a role for every alum.”

The Campus
14 I Donor Annual Report 2014-15
Beauty, harmony, a sense that you are in the center of a universe and everything is connected – these are the feelings that a well-planned college campus evokes. The buildings, the open spaces and the paths between them feel like they have always been where they are – that they are meant to be just as they are. A campus so thoughtfully designed can give newcomers a sense of confidence in a place, of belonging in that place, even before a friendly student holds a door open for them. That is the effect we want DePauw to have. Thoughtfulness, creativity, connection – those are the virtues our campus should inspire. Arriving here should send the message we have always wanted to convey about DePauw: This place is important. Only, with the changes we’ve made and those in the works, we don’t have to break with the tradition of Midwestern modesty to say it. The campus speaks for itself.

3 Student Engagement and Outcomes
20 I Donor Annual Report 2014-15
DePauw students come hungry for knowledge and experience. We work to give them both. We have done that work very well. However, if we aspire to rise in the ranks of the nation’s top liberal arts colleges, we must do better in both. When we cultivate the intellectual and social growth of our students, positive outcomes seem to fall into place, almost without effort. That effortlessness is, of course, an illusion. Alongside challenging coursework and a vibrant social experience, a third pillar undergirds successful outcomes: advising students and helping them shape a path forward to lives of purpose and accomplishment. We are obliged to take even greater responsibility for ensuring positive outcomes for our students.

Academic Life
26 I Donor Annual Report 2014-15
Academic challenge is at the heart of the DePauw experience. As a university, DePauw’s central mission is the transfer of knowledge through teaching and the production of knowledge through scholarly research. As a residential liberal arts college, DePauw’s work is to offer breadth and depth of study in a vibrant atmosphere. So we hire and support an excellent faculty of teachers and scholars. We enroll accomplished, purposeful students who enjoy learning for its own sake as much as they see it as a means to future success. And we maintain a beautiful campus where professors and students find spaces to gather and collaborate. To foster excellence and deepen the academic life of the University, DePauw truly changed its academic program between 1995 and 2012. During that period, DePauw’s student-to-faculty ratio dropped from 13:1 to 10:1. The faculty grew by nearly 50 percent – from 160 to 234. Consistent with our promise of academic breadth, DePauw added six majors – bringing the total to 42 plus the degree programs in the School of Music.

established a faculty fellowship at DePauw in 2002
to support faculty members seeking to improve their teaching, advance their scholarly and creative work, and enhance the University’s academic programs. They named it the John J. and Elizabeth Bowden Baughman Faculty Fellowship in honor of their
friends and teacher. In February 2015, the Canfields made a substantial additional gift to supplement the Baughman Faculty Fellowship as well as The Fund for DePauw.

Annual Giving
32 I Donor Annual Report 2014-15
Annual giving programs at DePauw are the lifeblood of the University. On an annual basis, DePauw’s annual giving programs provide the financial power of more than an additional $125 million in permanent endowment. These funds allow the University to provide support to students, faculty, programming, athletics, the School of Music and much, much more. DePauw’s ability to maintain and increase its position of strength and flexibility in an ever-changing world of higher education is directly dependent on its annual giving programs. To address the University’s most pressing needs, we relaunched the Annual Fund as The Fund for DePauw. Gifts to The Fund for DePauw touch every corner of campus, and because that is their impact, we wanted the name of the fund to reflect its purpose. The flexibility of those dollars allows University leadership to direct them to the area of most urgent need, or to seize an opportunity that merits immediate support. A strong Fund for DePauw also attracts other avenues of support, as corporations and foundations are placing a greater emphasis on the percentage of alumni, parents and employees who support DePauw with an annual gift when considering grant proposals. Participation in annual giving, at any level, is widely regarded as a barometer of any institution’s health and a measure of satisfaction of its constituents.

FISCAL YEAR FINANCIAL SUMMARY FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION
Brad A. Kelsheimer
I am pleased to report another year of improving financial health at your University. As of June 30, 2015, DePauw’s endowment reached a record high of $644 million. The net worth of the University also grew to a new high, exceeding $780 million. And, for the sixth consecutive year, DePauw reported a balanced operating budget. The balanced budget was reached despite incremental investments of more than $2 million in the student experience and an incremental $1 million investment in maintaining the University’s physical plant. The financial narrative of the post-recession years at DePauw is relatively straightforward. Operating costs have been managed tightly with annual expenditure growth since 2009 averaging less than 2 percent. At the same time, the perceived value of a DePauw education continues to grow as reflected by net tuition improvement of more than 27 percent during the same period since 2009. Even more impactful is the growth of the University’s endowment from $435 million in 2009 to its current balance of more than $640 million. Generous gifts to DePauw’s endowment since 2009 have significantly changed the University’s financial health. For DePauw to meet its commitment of providing an exceptional experience to students of great promise – regardless of those students’ financial resources – these
38 I Donor Annual Report 2014-15
financial improvements of recent years are a necessity. In this most recent fiscal year, the average cost incurred by DePauw to educate one student was more than $40,000. At the same time, the average tuition received from each student was just under $19,000 – a vast improvement over years past, but still well below the cost incurred to provide the experience. As a result, the average per-student cost of education that is subsidized by the University’s endowment and by annual giving is more than $21,000. As each of you know, the experience at DePauw is distinctive. Students served by this great University have daily access to faculty who work at the top of their fields. These same students have opportunities to engage in a rich and relevant practicum experience alongside their curricular endeavors. DePauw students also have unique opportunities to experience global cultures and diverse perspectives as part of their everyday plan of study. The affinity they develop for DePauw during their four years in Greencastle, Indiana is truly unique among colleges and universities throughout the nation, and the outcomes that result from a DePauw experience are exceptional. Resources that underpin this exceptional experience make DePauw different. The ability to serve in this way relies on the generosity of each of you. Your gift, regardless of size, plays a part. You are changing lives. Thank you for your generosity.
