Members of the graduating Class of 2016 toss their caps high to celebrate at DePauw’s 177th commencement on May 22.

NO ETHICAL DILEMMA

DePauw’s ethics bowl teams, which have been hugely successful on the national level, have required a substantial time commitment from student members in order to prepare for competition. Because it was a cocurricular activity, students worked around their already busy schedules in order to devote time – often evenings and weekends – to group discussion, reading, and argument construction and defense.

Marcia A. McKelligan, professor of philosophy and coach of the teams, says that due to growth in students’ interest in participating in ethics bowls and to make it easier for team members to all meet at the same time, she is adding an ethics bowl class to the curriculum, beginning fall semester 2016. The class will meet three days each week plus one evening session.

DePauw's Collegiate Ethics Bowl team, which has qualified for national competition in nine out of the last 12 years, won the national championship in 2013.

In April of this year, DePauw’s Bioethics Bowl team defeated Florida State University in quarterfinal competition of the National Bioethics Bowl and lost to Georgetown University in the semifinals. DePauw has competed in the national bowl for five years, winning the national championship in its first year of participation in 2012.

Robert D. Newton, professor emeritus of philosophy, assists in coaching the Ethics Bowl team, and Ted R. Bitner, assistant professor of psychology, is a co-coach for Bioethics Bowl.

BICENTENNIAL MOMENT

The Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay will pass by historic East College on the DePauw campus on Sept. 22, 2016. East College, which was dedicated in 1877 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, is one of the Midwest’s oldest educational buildings still in use and considered one of the best examples of the composite American architecture of the late 19th century.

Indiana became the 19th U.S. state Dec. 11, 1816.

CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Anthony E. Jones

Working in the higher education sector has afforded me the privilege of witnessing remarkable outcomes. I am excited to be able to bring my experiences to DePauw, a place that I have long admired. I am certain that with the continued good work of the admission team, and through a strategy of enrollment management, we will continue not only to recruit students to DePauw but also encourage and enable them to become impactful alumni like you.

As economic volatility coupled with “disruptive technologies” and dramatic policy changes are creating more and more uncertainty for families who are in the college selection process, DePauw is well positioned to address the changing higher education landscape. The decision process has changed dramatically, and differentiation is key! So, what is the DePauw difference? I suggest it’s the outcome-based learning that prepares our graduates to add immediate strategic value to the industries and communities they serve.

Organizations are consistently faced with lightning-speed, faster-to-market demands.

They expect employees to make almost immediate contributions from day one. Critical thinking and the ability to engage and innovate entrepreneurially have become basic skills in a growing knowledge-based economy. Price-sensitive, savvy families who seek a high return on investment expect their undergraduate training to adequately prepare them to exceed this expectation. Therefore, the case for why one should invest in a DePauw degree is evident. Our University’s ability to produce the vast quantity of industry and community leaders, scholars and entrepreneurs in proportion to our size proves the DePauw experience works.

As I arrive on campus in July and begin to learn more about the DePauw experience, I look forward to engaging campus partners in helping to develop a comprehensive plan to broaden the scope of enrollment outreach both internally and externally.

In an era of increased competition for the best-fit talent, I’m confident DePauw is poised well to compete as a higher education leader.

ELIZABETH DALE ’81 Robert Nixon and Police Torture in Chicago, 1871–1971 (Northern Illinois University Press) Claims of police torture have deep roots in Chicago. In the late 19th century, suspects maintained that Chicago police officers put them in sweatboxes or held them incommunicado until they confessed to crimes they had not committed. In the first decades of the 20th century, suspects and witnesses said that they admitted guilt only because officers beat them, threatened them and subjected them to sweatbox methods.

Those claims continued into the 1960s.

This original study uncovers the lost history of police torture in Chicago between the Chicago Fire and 1971. To show why the criminal justice system failed to adequately deal with many allegations of police torture, Elizabeth Dale examines one case in particular, the 1938 murder trial of Robert Nixon.

Nixon’s case is famous for being the basis for the novel Native Son, by Richard Wright. Dale considers the part of Nixon’s story that Wright left out: Nixon’s claim that he only confessed after being strung up by his wrists and beaten by police. Dale is professor of history and law at University of Florida. She has written a number of books on law and history, and she was a civil rights lawyer in Chicago before attending graduate school.

ANGELA N. CASTAÑEDA, DePauw associate professor of anthropology, and Julie Johnson Searcy, editors Doulas and Intimate Labour: Boundaries, Bodies and Birth (Demeter Press) Scholars turn to reproduction for its ability to illuminate the practices involved with negotiating personhood for the unborn, newborn, and alreadyexisting family members, community members and nation. The scholarship in this volume draws attention to doula work as intimate and relational while highlighting the way boundaries are created, maintained, challenged and transformed. Doulas negotiate boundaries and often blur the divisions between communities and across public and private spheres in their practice of intimate labour. This book weaves together three main threads: doulas and mothers, doulas and their community, and finally, doulas and institutions. The lived experience of doulas illustrates the interlacing relationships among all three of these threads. The essays in this collection offer a unique perspective on doulas by bringing together voices that represent the full spectrum of doula work, including the viewpoints of birth, postpartum, abortion, community based, adoption, prison and radical doulas.

ROGER B. NELSEN ’64 Proofs Without Words III: Further Exercises in Visual Thinking

RUSSELL M. PELTON JR. ’60 The Sting of the Blue Scorpion

(Mathematical Association of America)

Set against the backdrop of the turbulent 1960s at an Air Force base in northern Michigan, a series of murders and rapes leads to the arrest of a black airman, whose appointed defense counsel is an inexperienced young JAG officer.

The Sting of Blue Scorpion follows the search for the killer and his subsequent court martial. It is a taut tale of military justice and the efforts of a young officer to overcome both the evidence and bigotry that appear to present an insurmountable defense case. Is the accused airman guilty or not? SPOILER ALERT: The story has a double surprise ending. Author Russell Pelton served three years as a judge advocate in the U.S. Air Force, and he went on to a career as a successful litigator in Chicago. This edge-of-your-seat novel is based on Pelton’s experiences as a JAG in the 1960s, and it is a follow-up to his acclaimed first novel, The Dance of the Sharks.

Proofs without words (PWWs) are figures or diagrams that help the reader see why a particular mathematical statement is true, and how one might begin to formally prove it true. PWWs are not new; many date back to classical Greece, ancient China, and medieval Europe and the Middle East. The Mathematical Association of America published Nelsen’s earlier collections of PWWs, Proofs Without Words: Exercises in Visual Thinking in 1993 and Proofs Without Words II: More Exercises in Visual Thinking in 2000. This book is the third collection of PWWs. The proofs in the book are divided by topic into five chapters: Geometry & Algebra; Trigonometry, Calculus & Analytic Geometry; Inequalities; Integers & Integer Sums; and Infinite Series & Other Topics. Nelsen taught mathematics and statistics at Lewis & Clark College for 40 years before his retirement in 2009.

Oh, yes, we have had our fights, but they have all been family fights.

As a Hall of Fame teacher and coach, Rick Weinheimer is known for his ability to recognize the potential in others and give them the skills and direction necessary to reach that potential. If you want to make a difference, Move your Chair aims to help you maximize your potential.

Weinheimer has been a teacher, coach and mentor for almost 40 years, and he is currently an English department chair in Columbus, Ind., He was recognized as the Education Hall of Fame recipient for his school corporation in 2014. As a coach, he has led boys’ and girls’ cross-country teams to multiple state championships and national recognition.

He has been named Indiana Coach of the Year nine times and is a four-time nominee for National Coach of the Year.

Dancing With the Tiger is a stunning and powerfully plotted literary thriller set against Mexico’s epidemic of drug violence and the global controversy over the repatriation of cultural artifacts.

Filled with a large and richly conceived cast of American expats and Mexicans, Lili Wright’s story has propulsive power from the very beginning when a meth-addicted American in the pay of a ruthless Oaxacan drug lord unearths the death mask of Montezuma, setting off a violent struggle for its possession.

Written in taut, lyrical prose and set in a corrupt and often brutal land, the novel is a riveting exploration of the masks we wear, secrets we keep and revelations we owe to those we love. Wright, who teaches creative writing and journalism at DePauw, has made many trips to Mexico, including a yearlong sabbatical in Oaxaca. Dancing with the Tiger took her five years and 30 drafts to complete.

She is also author of Learning to Float, a travel memoir about a trip from Maine to Key West.

SUMMER 2016 DEPAUW MAGAZINE 9

DEPAUW’S The Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., is one of the most recognizable monuments in the United States. Dedicated to preserving the memory of President Abraham Lincoln, it is a solemn place that has borne witness to some of the most pivotal moments in U.S. history. From the Civil Rights Movement to President Obama’s inauguration, this towering neoclassical building and the gleaming white marble statue it enshrines is now, more than ever, relevant to our national discourse on American values.

DePauw shares a fascinating number of connections to President Lincoln, one of which carries art historical significance. Nestled among thousands of paintings, prints and sculptures in the Peeler Art Center’s teaching collection sits a bronze maquette for the finished marble statue inside the Lincoln Memorial. Sculpted by famed American artist Daniel Chester French (18501931), DePauw’s statue – once deemed “missing” by the museum community for decades – is one of only nine copies in existence.

Other museums in possession of identical maquettes include the Art Institute of Chicago, Harvard Art Museums and Massachusetts Historical Society. Shortly after DePauw’s website carried an announcement of a public lecture on campus last fall about the statue’s history and art

10 DEPAUW MAGAZINE SUMMER 2016

‘LOST LINCOLN’ historical significance, Lincoln researcher Donald Partington serendipitously found the Internet reference. He was thrilled to have finally located the “missing” maquette, and he will include DePauw’s statue in a forthcoming publication.

In need of professional conservation treatment for some time now, DePauw’s 100-year-old sculpture patiently awaited its turn for repair. Finally, in fall 2015, gallery staff carefully prepared the statue for its trip to the Chicago Conservation Center. There, the statue underwent five months of analysis and repair by object conservators to reduce oxidation and staining before applying a new protective layer of wax.

G. Bromley Oxnam, DePauw’s 16th president, purchased the Lincoln maquette in 1931 at the Grand Central Art Galleries in New York City, and he presented the statue to the University as a gift for students and faculty. Oxnam was likely attracted to the statue for a number of reasons. First, Lincoln’s very image embodied the eternal struggle for human equality – a trait deeply important to a socially progressive Methodist minister like Oxnam. What better way to morally educate current and future generations of students than through the very likeness of Lincoln

By Craig R. Hadley, director and curator of exhibitions and University collections

himself? A likeness that, in particular, bore a direct connection to one of the nation’s most prominent public monuments devoted to our most cherished collective values.

Second, Oxnam’s presentation of the Lincoln statue coincided with a call that same year to abolish the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program at DePauw, a change swiftly implemented. As the University Archives note, Oxnam was “an ardent [advocate] of world peace and social reform but also proved to be an activist administrator bent on remolding the University in accordance with his own views.” President Lincoln, so it would seem, fit neatly within Oxnam’s overarching agenda of 1930s progressivism.

Years after Oxnam’s 1936 departure from DePauw, the Lincoln statue had already earned a famous reputation on campus. An article in The DePauw dated Feb. 16, 1944, and titled “Pitching Pennies … Coppers at Foot of Lincoln Mean Exams Are Hard,” references the once commonplace student tradition of leaving pennies at the base of the statue for good luck. Ironically, the custom was implemented by World War II cadets, a group with which Oxnam would likely have been at odds during his tenure.

The bronze statue remained on display in what was affectionately referred to as “The Lincoln Room” in Roy O. West

Library until the building was renovated in 1986. Now, after its most recent conservation treatment, this important artwork of national significance will soon be back on public display. The statue will have a new plinth, constructed of lumber from trees removed to make way for construction of Hoover Dining Hall, further strengthening the historical ties between DePauw and President Lincoln.

DePauw’s 20th President

Just as the spring issue of DePauw Magazine was going to press, the DePauw University Board of Trustees announced DePauw’s 20th president in March. This summer issue of the magazine provides an opportunity to more fully introduce Dr. McCoy, who officially became president on July 1.

Since the announcement, many alumni have asked questions about the new president and his plans. DePauw Magazine selected a number of representative questions from alumni and posed them to President McCoy. Following are the questions and his responses.

SUMMER 2016 DEPAUW MAGAZINE 13

ANDREA JOHN ’01 ASKS: What is your biggest goal for DePauw?

PRESIDENT McCOY: Great Question.

DePauw must always be a transformative experience for each student. DePauw changes lives, and that is an awesome responsibility for all of us on this campus.

We must make certain that everything we do is in service of this life-changing experience for students. The average college student has about 800 days on a college campus; 600 of those days are class days. Each one of these days must be highly impactful. That is what motivates me; that’s what gets me out of bed every day. I want to make certain that every student who sets foot on DePauw’s campus has that transformational lifechanging opportunity to launch their future.

EDWIN JACOBI ’10 ASKS: Having been a leader at DePauw for several years, you are in a great position to hit the ground running as president. What is your assessment of the school’s strengths and weaknesses? What opportunities exist to improve upon weaknesses?

PRESIDENT McCOY: One of the things I’ve been most impressed about at DePauw in my five years here is the accomplished alumni, their achievements and how much they love this institution and how committed they remain to it. Our greatest strengths are our alumni base and the quality of our faculty, staff and students.

It might appear that we are in a position of great financial strength with a sizeable endowment, but it is important to note that all higher education in America, and especially small liberal arts institutions, is severely challenged on the financial front.

So there clearly has to be a focus on our fiscal realities.

14 DEPAUW MAGAZINE SUMMER 2016

ANDY RIETH ’80 ASKS: What are the greatest challenges facing liberal arts education, and how is DePauw positioned to address them?

PRESIDENT McCOY: The two greatest challenges facing liberal arts education are: One, the supposition that liberal arts education is not the best preparation for the real world (when in fact it is), and two, the financial model of the small residential liberal arts school. The financial challenge stems from the fact that a place like DePauw is focused first and foremost on providing a transformative educational experience, and the business model comes second. Large research institutions

MARCIA ENGEL ALDEN ’86 ASKS: What are the plans to ensure that future students and parents understand DePauw’s commitment to professional careers with your appointment? It seems unusual that at a time of increasing student competition with flagship public universities, DePauw has selected the dean of the School of Music [to be president].

PRESIDENT McCOY: People are often confused about the role of the music school. The College of Liberal Arts and School of Music combine to form DePauw University. While music was one of the original liberal arts, the music school is not actually a part of the

“DePauw changes lives, and that is an awesome responsibility for all of us on this campus. We must make certain that everything we do is in service of this life-changing experience for students.”

– PRESIDENT McCOY have a solid business model: A single, expensive Ph.D. teaches a host of lightly remunerated graduate students, who then teach a throng of paying undergraduate students. There, that financially makes sense. Here, we are focused on very small class sizes and direct interaction with Ph.D.s, so it is a highly expensive business model, but it is the most effective education model. The two challenges we face are reaffirming the primacy of liberal arts education in America, and developing the revenue streams that make this challenged business model work in perpetuity.

liberal arts school; it is a part of DePauw University. It has been a professional and pre-professional music school since its founding. The school, and especially its 21st-Century Musician Initiative, is very much focused on creating people who are prepared and ready for careers within the real world of music, and that ties in very nicely with our liberal arts college.

There is an argument being promulgated today that I think is actually based on a false premise, i.e., that you can choose to go to a career training school OR you can choose to go to a liberal arts school, as if the liberal arts school does not prepare you

for the world that follows. While it is true we are not entirely focused on getting you your first job, we believe that the liberal arts education prepares you for your entire career. More than just for your first job, it prepares you for every job throughout your life. What I’ve been saying for many years is that this type of education prepares you for more than making a living; it prepares you for making a life. Our commitment is to the liberal arts tradition while also bridging seamlessly into the world that follows.

RON STIVER ’96 ASKS: With stagnant family incomes in Indiana and many places in the nation, how can we keep a DePauw education accessible to students of all backgrounds?

PRESIDENT McCOY: Higher education suffers from what is known as Baumol’s cost disease, which is to say there are certain things for which productivity can not be improved. For example, if you are going to play a string quartet that takes a half hour, that’s a two-hour investment, and there is no way to make it more efficient. There are four people each committed to a half hour. No matter how quickly we can build a car or no matter how much more quickly we can travel the globe, we are never going to increase the efficiency and productivity of that string quartet. So, that concept of cost disease applies directly to higher education. No matter what else happens, in a liberal arts setting such as DePauw, we are always going to have small class sizes and Ph.D.s teaching students. And the cost continues to rise because we are not willing to compromise that in the name of efficiency.

However, it cannot rise indefinitely; we have to take a serious and significant look at this. The way that we believe we

can best approach this is through the endowment and DePauw Trust, where we are able to make our one-of-a-kind, lifechanging academic experience available to students from all walks of life.

SCOTT MOEN ’07 ASKS: Given the pressures on liberal arts schools around job placement, what efforts are you planning to improve career services for students and alumni?

PRESIDENT McCOY: It’s actually even more than career services that we are approaching here at DePauw. As you know, we have the Hubbard Center for Student Engagement that helps students with experiential learning and that serves as a great gateway into internships and employment after DePauw. We have the McDermond Center and Management Fellows, Pulliam Center and Media Fellows, and soon we’ll have the Tenzer Center that will help all DePauw students gain the technology skills they need in today’s world. There are many ways that DePauw is connecting the liberal arts education to careers after the academy.

ANTHONY NAVARRETE ’12 ASKS: What is your vision for the Hubbard Center for Student Engagement going forward? How can DePauw make studying abroad more of a possibility for all students?

PRESIDENT McCOY: The Hubbard Center has had a remarkable impact on DePauw already in its short time on campus, and we expect that impact to grow. We have elevated Hubbard Center personnel to Cabinet status. We have expanded the leadership of the Hubbard Center to two people and an entire team associated with it. We want to make certain that every student at DePauw begins to think

16 DEPAUW MAGAZINE SUMMER 2016

about his or her life after DePauw, and the Hubbard Center is the place to do that. They can draw on Hubbard Center resources as freshmen, participate in sophomore institute, begin to work on their résumés, work on internships and other opportunities there. We envision the Hubbard Center as the seamless bridge between life at DePauw and life after DePauw.

ROSALIE PETTIGREW ’96 ASKS: What are your plans to recruit and retain AfricanAmerican students and faculty?

PRESIDENT McCOY: Part of that challenge is making certain the environment is welcoming to African-American faculty, staff and students. And then those students, faculty and staff that choose DePauw must feel supported and be willing to stay at DePauw. So, this is a wider challenge than simply DePauw itself; this is not only across our campus, but also beyond our campus. I have been out speaking to many community organizations about how we can work together to make the community of Greencastle and Putnam County the most

welcoming and inclusive environment possible. The good work that has already been done on this campus by putting in a power, privilege and diversity requirement, by holding two days of dialogue and by committing for the next five years to these dialogue days for DePauw are very important efforts we are taking. We expect to continue to expand those efforts until every student, faculty and staff member at DePauw feels welcome and capable of doing their best work.

system everyone is proud of – from our prospective students to our longest living alumni.

BRUCE OSBORNE ’64 ASKS: Do you support fraternities and sororities? It seems they have declined at DePauw. What do you see as the benefits and/or negatives of fraternal organizations?

DENNIS TRINKLE ’91 ASKS: Many of those who most need the DePauw experience need financial assistance to attend and strong support to transition and graduate.

How can we make sure as many lessadvantaged and first-generation students as possible have access to what DePauw can do for them?

PRESIDENT McCOY: I absolutely do support our Greek organizations, and it is easy to see why. When you look at our GPA here at DePauw, the GPA of our Greek students is higher than the GPA of our independent students. If you look at the persistence rates and graduation rates, Greek life clearly supports those important outcomes.

When you look at the world at large, you see remarkable percentages of our United States Supreme Court, U.S. Congress, and leaders of Fortune 500 companies are affiliated with Greek organizations.

The fact is that Greek organizations give our students the opportunity to develop leadership, independence and become strong independent thinkers. However, the challenges of Greek life are available to us in almost every newspaper we pick up. There are many challenges that exist in Greek life culture, but it is important that we do not conflate Greek culture with party culture. Higher education in America, no matter where it might be found, is challenged with high-risk drinking, sexual assault and unsafe behavior. And while that happens within the Greek structure, that is not a Greek problem; that is a higher education problem. It is one we must take on. So, when we look at our Greek life at DePauw, I want it to be the strongest Greek life in America. I want this to be a Greek

PRESIDENT McCOY: It’s twofold; it’s not just access, it’s success. It’s the idea that we can both bring them here and support them.

As a first-generation college student myself, this is top of mind for me. We have to make certain that not only are we accessible to people from all walks of life, but also that we have the structures in place to ensure their success once here. First, we must work with the endowment and fully fund the DePauw Trust to make certain that those students who would benefit from a DePauw education, but can’t afford it, have the opportunity. Second, we must make certain our structures are in place so that we support students fully throughout their time on campus.

I have taken two steps here already.

One was to bring in a new vice president – not for Admission, but for Enrollment Management. The intent is that we are not just bringing people in to the institution, but we are guaranteeing their success.

We are not recruiting students; we are recruiting alumni. From the very beginning, we are looking to bring students here and then work with them to make certain they are successful throughout their college careers. The other step is to shift our focus from a Division of Student Life to a Division of Student Academic Life. That is, even though 93 percent of the average

SUMMER 2016 DEPAUW MAGAZINE 17

college student’s time is spent outside of the classroom, that is not nonacademic time.

We are still focused on the transformative educational experience.

NANCY WHITE ’75 ASKS: Please discuss your goals concerning diversity and inclusion within the student body and faculty. And how do you intend to support international education and living opportunities from which I benefited greatly as a student and which continue to pay dividends in my professional and personal life? How can alumni support you in achieving these goals?

PRESIDENT McCOY: Let me start with the middle question about international education. We just lowered the study abroad fee at DePauw from $2,500 for one semester (or $3,000 for two semesters) to $800 per semester. This is an intentional effort to increase the opportunity for all students at DePauw to study internationally. Those are truly life-changing opportunities, and we want to make them available to all students.

Alumni can assist us with this by, one, continuing to share stories of their own experiences and reinforcing the importance of taking advantage of this opportunity, and two, supporting study abroad at DePauw through an annual fund gift. Gifts of any size are an opportunity for alumni to pay it forward and change the life of a young student here at DePauw.

The first part of your question, about diversity and inclusion, is particularly important to me. This is one on which we have really hit the ground running.

The Cabinet and I have participated in a cultural competence workshop to make sure we lead by example. We have already been successful in diversifying the

18 DEPAUW MAGAZINE SUMMER 2016

Cabinet significantly, and I look forward to providing leadership opportunities for as many different people as possible. I think this is something where we simply must walk the talk. It is one thing to talk about the commitment, but another to walk that commitment. The Cabinet and I are absolutely committed to doing that – not just to diversify our faculty, staff and students, but also to make DePauw a welcoming and inclusive place for students from all around the world and all backgrounds.

STUART G. COZZENS ’92 ASKS: What is your plan to expand upon President Brian Casey’s initiative to bring Greencastle and DePauw closer together, giving DePauw students and staff an off-campus, collegetown experience?

PRESIDENT McCOY: The Music School has been heavily involved in this process, and our total annual audience doubled as the community felt more welcome on campus and more and more a part of the artistic scene we provided. We then went so far as to get involved in the public school system; we provided violins for elementary school students, we started a jazz ensemble for middle school students, and we actually moved a portion of the Music School to downtown with Music on the Square.

From that point, we launched what I call a communiversity, which is a coming together of the community and University to explore lifelong learning. That concept has been remarkably successful. I expect to continue those efforts at the University level and to continue to expand the great community outreach that has been a part of DePauw’s faculty, staff and students for generations.

BRIAN GARRISON ’00 ASKS (NOTE: Several alumni asked a question similar to Brian’s): What is your plan to bring the Monon Bell back to Greencastle?

PRESIDENT McCOY: Well, I talked to the coach, and he’s already ruled out my playing quarterback, which was a great disappointment. I’m still trying to get him to change his mind about that.

Actually, I am thrilled at the success of our coach and our team, and I think that Bill Lynch is a class act. He is teaching far more than football and has improved

“Well, I talked to the coach, and he’s already ruled out my playing quarterback, which was a great disappointment.”

– PRESIDENT McCOY

our team tremendously in his few seasons.

I have every expectation that he and his team are going to bring that bell back to Greencastle where it belongs.

LUKE BRETSCHER ’12 ASKS: What is the best way (in addition to financial support) that alumni can best support you as president?

PRESIDENT McCOY: I appreciate the offer to help to support me personally; I welcome your notes, cards, emails and thoughts – which are always very helpful. I

think that we are all interested in knowing how we can best support DePauw, and there are so many things that alumni can do. You can talk about your DePauw experience in your communities. You can make yourself available to our admission staff, to help at local recruiting events. You can help our development staff in working at our regional advancement events. You can come back and visit campus and share your success stories with our campus and students to give them added incentive and support. You can wear your colors proudly and talk about DePauw at every opportunity. And, of course, come back to campus soon and often. Not just for Alumni Reunion Weekend, but also for any number of the amazing things students do on campus each year. We love to have our alumni back to cheer our students on and to be a part of the lifechanging mission of DePauw.

DNA DETECTIVES

Rare diseases present a rare research opportunity

By Christopher L. Wolfe

20 DEPAUW MAGAZINE SUMMER 2016

O

nly the difficult cases find their way to Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Daniel G. Gurnon. These are rare genetic disorders, rare to the degree that maybe only a handful of people in the entire world have something similar. For the people affected, there is no known diagnosis or treatment. They are sick, but nobody has been able to tell them why.

Gurnon works in partnership with Rare Genomics Institute, a Marylandbased organization that provides genetic analysis for people – mostly children – with undiagnosed and rare diseases. These families have typically been on a long diagnostic odyssey by the time they contact Rare Genomics for help. Without clear answers as to what might be causing their constellation of symptoms, their cases are effectively “stuck.” It falls on volunteer analysts like Gurnon and his students to help get these families unstuck.

For the 13 cases Rare Genomics has referred to Gurnon’s lab, the bulk of their work has involved analyzing the genetic code of affected patients and their families.

Up until the last decade, almost none of this work would have been possible. To put the recent advances in genetics in perspective, it took 13 years and billions of dollars for the Human Genome Project to catalog the genes in our DNA. Until the project was complete, the process of reading the genetic code was excruciatingly slow and costly – not something that could be applied to individual patients in a clinical setting.

Shortly after the project’s completion in 2003, a new method called nextgeneration sequencing emerged, drastically reducing the time and money needed to map a person’s genetic code. The cost to sequence an individual genome plummeted a million-fold over the next 10 years.

Today, you can have your own personalized Human Genome Project completed in a couple of weeks and for only a few thousand dollars. You’ll get a giant book filled with, well, you, but it will be nothing that looks like you. It will be written in a foreign language – genetics – and meaningless without an interpreter.

While Gurnon serves as the lab’s chief investigator, his students handle a large portion of its day-to-day operation.

“A lot of genetic interpretation involves basic biochemistry,” Gurnon says.

With knowledge picked up from their coursework at DePauw, student research assistants can comb through scientific literature, tease clues from molecular models and run tests in the lab. But when they write a report of their findings, it’s not for a grade, but to send to the affected families and their physicians. It’s a remarkable setup when you consider the breadth of their experience. Rarely is there so direct a connection between undergraduate students and professors, research and application.

“I think my students feel a strong sense of value in what they’re doing,” Gurnon says. “Working with cases that affect real people lends a sense of urgency and

importance to their work. I do not have a problem with them showing up on time or working late.”

Gurnon’s lab works year-round, continuing into the summer when it becomes a full-time job for the students involved. In early June, just weeks after the close of spring semester, Alicia K. Cotsoradis ’18 and Brady J. Tucker ’17 were already nose-deep in research on a protein called G6PD, the source of a disease called hemolytic anemia.

For a lab the size of Gurnon’s – or any lab at all, really – searching an entire human genome for clues to a rare disease would be like looking through a barn for a slightly irregular piece of straw. Instead, the dataset they work with is from the portion of DNA called the exome. Though the exome makes up only about 1 percent of your DNA, it contains all the instructions for creating proteins, the little molecular machines that make life at the molecular level tick along.

If you have a genetic disorder, it’s probably going to show up in the exome.

The amazing thing about proteins is that their form is also their function. After being copied from the instructions in the exome, the string of amino acids that make up a protein begins to biochemically react with itself, or “fold.” The protein bends and twists into a specific shape that governs how it goes to work in your body. Hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen in red blood cells, folds into what would look to most people like a roundish tangle of earbud wires. Functionally, however, you

hen I was a kid, I went through a phase where I wanted to mix things a lot. I think I was trying to make the ultimate stink bomb. My dad told me I should keep a notebook – he wasn’t a scientist, but he was a Navy pilot, so he was meticulous. I would have these lab notebooks with the ingredients listed: three earthworms, four potato bugs and a dash of dirt.

One day in the summer, my mother called me in for dinner. I had been mixing my potions in the garage while my dad was in there working.

A bit later, he starts yelling for me – the coffee can I used to mix my potions was foaming over. I was so excited I was dancing around. I spent the rest of the summer trying to repeat it, but I could never get Professor Dan Gurnon it to work again. I was just really excited about it. That little spark kept me going.

When I was in grad school, I came home for Thanksgiving one year. We were all sitting at the table, and I said, “Dad, remember that time the coffee can fizzed over? I think that was the thing that set my trajectory.” He said, ‘Yeah, when you went inside, I threw an Alka-Seltzer tablet in.’ That was it; that’s the entire trajectory of my life. Plop-plop, fizz-fizz. The whole time I was like, “Boy, I really did it!” I never even considered that it was anything other than my serendipitous combination of worms and ants.

might picture it as a four-leaf clover, with each leaf cleft forming a little iron trap for an oxygen molecule.

Sometimes small typos will occur when copying the instructions for a protein from a person’s DNA. That protein string will fold into an abnormal shape that limits or removes its function, but because of the vast amount of proteins present in our bodies at any given moment, a few of these mistakes are harmless. It’s when the instructions contained in the DNA are themselves incorrect that our bodies run into serious problems. Take again the example of hemoglobin. In people with sickle cell anemia, their bodies create hemoglobin in such a way that it tends to stick together end-to-end. As these protein chains grow longer, they stretch what should be a round red blood cell into a crescent shape, giving the disease its name – and all the problems that come with it.

Because a protein’s shape ties directly to its function, visualization software has become one of the main tools for researchers investigating abnormal protein variations. You might recall those old molecular ball-and-stick models from chemistry class; the computer models Gurnon’s lab relies on are far more elaborate, if not plain beautiful. They show a protein’s tangled structure – its springy “alpha helices” and wavy “beta sheets” – pieced together in three dimensions. They can also be manipulated, allowing Gurnon and his students to alter a protein’s shape – and therefore function – to create a visual hypothesis for what’s gone wrong.

But these models can only get you so far when trying to understand behavior at the molecular level, especially when a protein isn’t behaving the way it should. A print of René Magritte’s “The Treachery of Images” hangs prominently on the wall

of Gurnon’s office as a reminder of this fact; just as Magritte’s pipe painting isn’t a pipe (“Ceci n’est pas une pipe.”), a protein model isn’t a protein. As Gurnon and his students were laying the groundwork to take on the G6PD case, they were already preparing their own assembly line to create the real thing. Their plan: trick bacteria into producing the altered version of the protein found in their case file. To do so, they first needed a test to differentiate the functional proteins from the dysfunctional.

Also unlike the computer models, there’s no “look test” when it comes to analyzing real proteins. There are all manner of ways to describe just how tiny a protein is, but perhaps the best way is this: Gurnon ordered a comically small vial of pure G6PD, big enough to hold a drop or two

from a leaky faucet. It contained more than a quadrillion individual proteins.

The end of the lab’s current investigation will almost certainly not mark the end of a patient’s search for answers. As much as Gurnon would love to solve each case, the best he can promise is to keep the process moving foward. Armed with new information Gurnon and his students are able to uncover, a family’s physician might be able to propose a new form of treatment.

Or they might be connected with new specialists and other families with similar conditions, helping them build a support network for the tests and trials to come.

While the lab is focused on providing impactful research, it’s also a learning lab.

Cotsoradis, who just ended her second year at DePauw when she joined Gurnon

this summer, was quickly submerged in the deep end of biochemistry. “It’s something special about DePauw,” she says. “We don’t have grad students to compete with, so as a sophomore I could sign on to this project, whereas at a bigger institution they might want somebody who knows it already and can just do it.” This is also where the role of student and teacher blurs. Tucker, who works alongside Cotsoradis, was once in the same, sometimes bewildered position. But now, after a year of experience, he’s a lab veteran and capable resource.

And if neither of them can work through a problem, they couldn’t have a better mentor than Gurnon, who was named 2015 Indiana Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).

Chief among the reasons for the honor is Gurnon’s ability to blend any perceived gaps between learning, teaching and research. “I don’t do any research that is not connected with students,” Gurnon says. “Some projects are only amenable to juniors and seniors; I’ll take anybody. You just have to be excited to learn on your own. The stuff we do here, you don’t learn in a class.”

A COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

By Sarah McAdams

24 DEPAUW MAGAZINE SUMMER 2016

The Sustainability Leadership Program (SLP) has been an integral part of rising junior Mary R. Satterthwaite’s life at DePauw.

“I am very passionate about sustainability,” Satterthwaite says. “So being able to get hands-on experience and really make a difference is very rewarding. I love the community of SLP because everyone is positive, and we have amazing conversations about environmental issues.” As a result, Satterthwaite says she’s become a better communicator and a stronger leader.

Anthony M. Baratta ’10, sustainability director and coordinator of SLP, helped implement the tiered leadership program by creating experiential-based, studentcentered opportunities focused on campus sustainability issues.

As an undergraduate, Baratta founded DePauw Environmental Policy Project (DEPP), an off-campus civic engagement program. He also co-led the effort for DePauw President Brian W. Casey to sign the American College and University President’s Climate Commitment on

Sept. 15, 2008. President Casey joined 575 college and university presidents and chancellors across the country who pledged to neutralize greenhouse gas emissions of their institutions and make environmental awareness a key component of campus life.

Baratta describes this event as a significant step toward establishing the Office of Sustainability at DePauw, which eventually led to creating the Sustainability Leadership Program.

In fall 2012, Baratta returned to DePauw as assistant sustainability director. By spring 2014, he and former sustainability director Carol S. Steele had created the template for the Sustainability Leadership Program. They wanted to create a more student-centered approach so that all of their projects were student-led and overseen by a staff member. “When making this change, we realized that things might take longer and be messier, but we were seeing value in how students were engaged and what skills they were taking away from these hands-on experiences,” Baratta says.

By spring 2014, the program consisted

of 10 students who served as Eco-Reps volunteering a couple hours per week.

Once they made the shift to a student-led program, it quickly grew to 60 students with a competitive interview process, according to Baratta.

While students aren’t required to complete the program, they can choose to by participating for at least three semesters, attending six Learning Through Experiential Applications Program (LEAP) sessions offered by the Hubbard Center and one Sustainability Leadership Institute retreat. Students also may choose to progress through the tiered leadership positions.

Eco-Reps are level-one positions and open to new members. There are approximately 8-10 Eco-Reps per team project. Students are expected to attend weekly meetings and a speaker series. They volunteer two to three hours each week and commit to one group community service project, where all SLP members come together, which is either tailgate recycling or Move Out Day. Level-two is student project manager.

There are 10 positions, which are paid, and these students work 5-7 hours a week, developing and strengthening leadership skills by overseeing Eco-Reps and one of the six team projects. Students learn what it’s like to run a nonprofit or small business by managing Thrifty Tiger, an on-campus thrift shop; make executive decisions at the Campus Farm; partner with Facilities Management on energy efficient initiatives or prepare testimony for the Indiana General Assembly.

Finally, level-three is a paid summer sustainability internship, which requires students to have participated in both EcoReps and student project manager positions.

The intern works with the Campus Farm and Thrifty Tiger and also partners with Greencastle’s Sustainability Commission to develop and maintain initiatives such as the Greencastle Community Garden.

Baratta is thrilled the program is thriving. “After talking to my counterparts at other colleges and universities, I believe we have the most students working through a sustainability office,” he says. “Our program

SUMMER 2016 DEPAUW MAGAZINE 25

also appears to be the only one with tiered leadership positions as well as a direct connection to a career services center.”

The program also serves as a way to unite students from a diverse range of backgrounds and interests across campus.

“Sustainability is a common cause that has proven to be a great way to bring the DePauw community together,” Satterthwaite says.

As student project manager, Satterthwaite has worked closely with Campus Farm manager Alice “Carol” Dixon, coordinated volunteer time for campus farm Eco-Reps, monitored Bon Appétit produce sales invoices and assisted with the Greencastle Community Garden.

During her first year as an Eco-Rep, she was involved in campus recycling and community outreach by helping organize an Earth Day celebration in combination with the opening of the Farmers’ Market around Greencastle’s courthouse square. She also has volunteered at tailgate recycling events during Tiger football games.

In the fall, Satterthwaite will continue her role as student project manager, overseeing the Campus Farm. “One of my goals is to recruit more student organizations to volunteer because it’s a great way to raise awareness of the farm and also bring the DePauw community together,” she says. “I also hope to establish a permanent composting system at the Hub or in Greek houses.” This year, Satterthwaite began a composting initiative at her sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma.

Satterthwaite says campus awareness of sustainability issues is growing very quickly. In just one year, students know much more about these issues because of the extent to which SLP has reached the DePauw community through their programs – tailgate recycling, Thrifty

Tiger, Green To-Go Boxes and more.

Moreover, Satterthwaite participated in the launch of Sustainability Leadership Education, a new initiative through which 30 DePauw students spoke to more than 1,000 high school students in central Indiana during the spring.

“We’ve made progress in educating the DePauw community about sustainability initiatives, and we’re now reaching out to high schools, too,” Baratta says. “What began as an idea a year-and-a-half ago matured this spring. We’ve presented to 1,000 students, some of whom have already started sustainability projects at their schools, and others who are attending our Sustainability Leadership Institute this summer.”

SLP is an Office of Sustainability

initiative supported by the Environmental Fellows Program and Hubbard Center for Student Engagement. Although SLP and the Environmental Fellows Program (EF) are different programs structurally, they do complement each other.

“SLP doesn’t have academic expectations and is open to all students,” Jennifer J. Everett, associate professor of philosophy and co-director of the Environmental Fellows Program, says. A student isn’t required to have an academic environmental interest to be active there. Similarly, Environmental Fellows don’t have to be engaged in sustainability issues on campus.

“If they want to be more scholarly in their approach and choose to become scientists or lawyers, for example, rather than to do

THE SIX SUSTAINABILITY TEAM PROJECTS

» Sustainability Leadership Education debuted in spring 2016. Thirty DePauw students spoke to more than 1,000 high school students at Central Indiana high schools. DePauw students led sessions about how to start sustainability initiatives at their schools. Photos and more information is available at sustainabilityleadership.education. » The DePauw Environmental Policy Project is an opportunity for students to research Indiana environmental policy and learn about the legislative process in Indiana. Students regularly travel to the statehouse, and they presented a poster about renewable energy policy at a 2015 Hoosier Environmental Council conference. » Sustainable Energy is helping implement a $63,000 grant DePauw received through Indiana Community Conservation Challenge to install new energy-efficient lighting in Neal Fieldhouse in the Lilly Center. Students are also helping conduct a load analysis at one of the student duplexes that’s a candidate for solar panels. » Thrifty Tiger, a thrift store located in Mason Hall, is completely student run. It’s open 15 hours a week. Established as an outgrowth of Move Out Day, the goal is to eventually donate profits to Putnam County Family Support Services. » Zero Waste focuses on numerous projects, including Green To-Go Boxes, waste audits and improving recycling on campus. Students partner with faculty members and Facilities Management to implement projects. » Campus Farm is a property near The Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics where students and staff grow 6,000 pounds of organic produce a year. The produce is sold to Bon Appétit for consumption in University dining halls, while 5-10 percent is donated to a local food pantry. SLP students work on the farm and recruit more than 200 students a season to volunteer. Many DePauw athletic teams volunteer, too.

activist work, they can,” she says.

Environmental Fellows are not required to participate in SLP, but many of them want to do so. “The Environmental Fellows Program benefits very much from SLP,” Everett says. “It provides one readily accessible avenue for EFP students to complete our program’s practicum requirement, but by no means is it the only possible one. Some prefer to pursue opportunities for practical experience off campus instead of, or in addition to, SLP. “The students who do, however, get all the great things that SLP has to offer by way of real leadership and experience,” Everett says. “I think they become so much more sophisticated as change agents through SLP than they could in almost any other way.”

EF has an experiential learning component in a similar way that Media Fellows and Management Fellows have an internship program. Students have to complete a practicum and integrate what they’re learning in the classroom with what they find outside the classroom.

“Many of them can and do complete the practicum requirement by working with the SLP in one of the leadership positions,” Everett says. “They can satisfy a requirement in our program that way, and many choose to do that and much more.”

Madeline M. Piscetta ’17 is a member of both the Environmental Fellows Program and Student Leadership Program. She says that they complement each other. What she learns in her EF classes is applicable to the work she does with SLP and vice versa. “One is more academic-focused, and the other is more action-focused,” Piscetta says. “So the two together give me the full environmental/sustainability experience I want from my undergraduate experience.”

As a first-year student, Piscetta was one of 10 Eco-Reps who made up the

Student Leadership Program. Since then, not only has the program grown, but she also has worked her way up to student project manager, overseeing the campus farm and Zero Waste program. In her leadership position, Piscetta coordinated a major campus-wide initiative – Green To-Go Boxes – as well as helped organize an interdisciplinary concert – WaterMusic: An Immersion Experience. She also launched a pilot recycling program for fraternities at Phi Delta Theta.

“The reason I’m able to do all these things is because there is a consciousness on campus about sustainability issues,” she says.

“SLP has been a defining aspect of my college experience,” Piscetta adds.

“My involvement in the program helped me decide my major – environmental geoscience. Being a part of SLP has really helped me learn what I want to do with my life. This work suits my skill set, and the projects allow me to be creative and come up with my own ideas.”

Last spring, Piscetta and her team of Eco-Reps helped Jason Rose, general manager for Bon Appétit, launch the campus-wide Green To-Go Box program.

It was designed to reduce the 244,000 to-go food containers that the DePauw community was discarding in just 34 weeks each year. Piscetta divided up tasks among her team members. They worked with Rose to edit messaging sent to students, met with student government officers to gain their support and utilized various media platforms to help spread the word. They launched the program two weeks before spring break – weeks earlier than planned.

Students have 72 hours to return the container, or there is a $6.00 charge. They receive an email reminder before it’s due.

It can be returned at various locations on campus, including the Hub, Café Roy,

Café Allegro and Blend. Students drop it off, and Bon Appétit takes care of the rest. Piscetta adds that the Green To-Go Boxes are locally sourced from Evansville, Ind. It’s a voluntary program now, and she hopes it will become permanent next year.

Piscetta also helped organize an interdisciplinary concert last spring – WaterMusic: An Immersion Experience held in the Judson and Joyce Green Center for the Performing Arts. The event included DePauw University Choirs, DePauw Percussion Ensemble, Assistant Professor of Biology Sarah Lee, Associate Professor of Geosciences and Faculty Sustainability Coordinator Jeanette K. Pope and Piscetta.

The cross-disciplinary event featured water-themed art exhibits and displays contributed by both student environmental scientists and guest artists, musical performances and presentations about citizen river-keeping and the Flint water crisis, philanthropic efforts to provide clean drinking water to orphaned children in Uganda, and more.

“Coordinating WaterMusic was the largest project I have ever undertaken,” Piscetta says. “It was empowering to make my vision a reality and to see so many people care about issues near and dear to my heart.”

Piscetta is in Washington, D.C., this summer doing an internship at the World Wildlife Fund’s national headquarters. She is helping plan the organization’s annual Fuller Symposium, the WWF’s signature event. It brings leading scientists together to improve conservation efforts. “I plan to continue this type of work after graduation by using my environmental education, sustainability experience and love for the arts,” she says.

connections: engaging with depauw Don (’61) and Barbara Daseke Give $20 Million for The DePauw Trust At a dinner on campus in May honoring outgoing President Brian W. Casey, Don ’61 and Barbara Daseke made a surprise $20 million commitment for The DePauw Trust and other vital initiatives at DePauw. Gifts and commitments to The DePauw Trust, DePauw’s endowment for need-based support and one of The Campaign for DePauw’s top priorities, have now surpassed $70 million.

“DePauw professors are committed to teaching and being mentors to our students,” Don Daseke said. “I stayed in contact with professors here long after I left DePauw. DePauw believed in me and invested in me by giving me the Rector Scholarship, and we are thrilled that our gift will support The DePauw Trust for future scholarships and other strategic initiatives here at DePauw.”

A DePauw trustee since 1985, Daseke earned a bachelor’s degree in economics and was a Rector Scholar at DePauw.

Referred to as “the Rector Scholarship of the future,” The DePauw Trust is an investment in the future strength of the University. The Brian W.

connections: engaging with depauw Alumni Association Welcomes 533 From Class of 2016 On Sunday, May 22, a total of 533 students crossed the commencement stage and became the 2016 cohort of DePauw alumni. Their dreams and opportunities were made possible by DePauw’s loyal family of more than 72,000 alumni and friends worldwide.

During these graduates’ four-year DePauw experience, many distinguished alumni shared their insights through seminars and panel discussions on campus. Others provided valuable opportunities for professional experience and discernment by hosting student interns.

Still other alumni provided philanthropic support, knowing that no matter the size, their gifts help sustain DePauw for current and future students. Reunion classes, Greek alumni and former dorm mates challenged each other to contribute at record levels. And after decades of giving back to DePauw – often beginning with their first $1 gift to the Senior Gift Drive – some alumni made extraordinary gifts to ensure DePauw and its students will continue to strive for excellence for generations to come.

Congratulations, Class of 2016! And thank you to the thousands of alumni and friends who have helped DePauw prepare these graduates for meaningful lives of active citizenship, creativity and success.

“There are many things that I have loved during my DePauw experience: Greek life, leadership positions, First-Year Mentor program, being a tutor at the Quantitative Reasoning Center, working in the Office of Admission and meeting Ubben Lecturer Yeonmi Park, a civil rights activist.

Everything I have done has shaped me into the person that I am today. Thank you to all of the donors who have made it possible.”

– ASHLEY J. WONG ’16, mathematics, economics and management major

“Throughout my four years, DePauw has given me a multitude of leadership experiences. Being able to lead my peers, work with administration and develop plans that would concretely impact DePauw has allowed me to grow and develop into the best possible person I can be. I now know my passions and what I want to do with my professional career.

But more importantly, I have learned how to interact and work with people whose backgrounds differ from my own.”

– CJ CAZEE ’16, political science major

“My favorite part of my DePauw experience has been the extracurricular and leadership opportunities that I have been able to participate in. Being the risk manager of my Greek organization and competing on the Bioethics Bowl team have helped shape me into a critical thinker and leader. Thanks to DePauw donors, I was able to act as a leader on my Winter Term in Service trip to Cuba to study public health care. With the strength and enthusiasm in the alumni network, I know the DePauw experience will continue impacting my life after graduation.”

– SUSHEELA JAYARAMAN ’16, biology major

GOLD: Classes of 2006 and 2011 Set New Records

Awards and Recognition

Class reunions are a special opportunity for alumni to demonstrate appreciation for their DePauw experience and loyalty to the University through attendance at Alumni Reunion Weekend and through philanthropic support. Classmates encourage and challenge their peers, and classes challenge each other.

This year’s reunion classes set new records for participation in giving, a critical measure of alumni satisfaction used by ranking organizations and prospective students. At the time of this printing, 170 alumni or 34 percent of the 5th Reunion Class of 2011 and 187 alumni or 33 percent of Christine Walker Archer ’11 the 10th Reunion Class of 2006 made gifts to support current and future DePauw students. All reunion classes – up to and including the 60th Reunion Class of 1956 – contributed $1,357,413 to The Fund for DePauw with 32 percent participating to provide critical support for the University’s most pressing needs.

“To me, participating in reunion weekend and annual giving is important no matter the size of gift, because it's recognition of everything the University gave to me and is a way to give back to the students and faculty who are currently at DePauw,” says Christine Walker Archer ’11, reunion committee volunteer.

Also like many students, Green’s four years at DePauw made a lasting impact. “DePauw was an important part of my life,” he says. “It gave me an education that helped me succeed in life.” The mathematics major (who credits such faculty as Professor Emeritus John E. “Jack” Morrill for providing him with a quality education) went on to have a career in actuarial consulting. Green’s son, Roger, graduated from DePauw in 1989, and his granddaughter, Emily, is in the Class of 2019.

In addition to loyal annual support of DePauw, the Greens have designated DePauw as the beneficiary of a generous Individual Retirement Account (IRA) gift for the future.

Their IRA gift is directed toward the DePauw endowment, but otherwise is unrestricted.

IRA gifts to DePauw, whether current gifts for those required to take an annual minimum distribution or beneficiary designation gifts, are easy to implement, make good tax sense and truly benefit DePauw students. Please contact the Office of Legacy and Estate Planning to find out more about IRA giving.
