The Falcon baseball team had a new playing field this spring, as the players took to the diamond at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium in the Delano district of Wichita.

“The venue provides our program with one of the premier baseball parks in the Midwest,” said Athletic Director Joe Zimmerman. “It provides a great environment for our student athletes to compete and also for our University and fans to enjoy.”

Lawrence-Dumont is very conducive to collegiate baseball and addresses all the team’s needs, including a synthetic playing field, climate-controlled locker rooms, batting cages, athletic training facilities, and a press box.

“We believe the venue will allow us to schedule more home games as teams will desire to play at our venue in part because of the all-weather surface,” Zimmerman said.

Editor’s Note B y K at e B o s s e r m a n

What a difference a day makes (or a couple of months)!

Do you notice anything different about the magazine? Well, yes, it’s late, and we are sorry – but that’s not all.

This issue of the Friends University magazine showcases the very best of Friends in a new way: to tell about the best of our people – that every day, in so many ways, our students, alumni, faculty and staff make a positive difference in our world; to highlight the best of our programs – we have exceptional academic and co-curricular programs at every turn; to display the best of our creativity – through the pictures, articles and new layout.

We hope you feel proud to be part of the Friends University community. Much like improvements to your home, improvements to the magazine were thoughtful, loving and, unfortunately, slow-going.

This issue highlights much of the 2012-13 academic year, but we have noted in various sections the dates for which information is included. Information received after these dates will be included in the next issue. The Honor Roll of Donors recognizes giving from July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012.

Thank you for reading, and please send your comments or story ideas to pubrel@ friends.edu. We hope you enjoy the magazine and feel it is worth the wait!

From the President A mission reflective of our DNA

Dr. T.J. and Susan Arant

4 | F r i e n d s

U n i v e rs i t y

If you have ever joined a new community or organization, you may be familiar with this situation. You feel at home, maybe you even feel you fit in effortlessly, but you find yourself asking “why” a lot.

Why do you do things that way? Why do you believe that is important? Why do you believe this or that thing is the right thing to do?

And you may have already guessed the answer you get: well, we have always done it that way.

Rather than viewing this answer with dismay, maybe you set about to learn what compels the organization or community to “always do it this way.”

That’s what I did last year after I joined the Friends University family. There is so much that is good here, and I had so many questions. Most often, I asked, “What makes us do things that way?”

And I have joked that, if I asked 10 people, I got 12 answers.

So I set out on a yearlong personal history project to learn what makes Friends University successful. I called it a search for our University’s DNA, the organizational double helix that makes us different from all the others. Adhering to that DNA, I suspected, made us successful; straying from it, I was pretty sure, caused us organizational distress.

What I found was a consistent lesson all through our history, one that made us greatly successful when we did it well.

It’s a rather long history lesson, but it boils down to a few simple facts. When we acknowledge that our students need to be prepared for the real world, when we take the success of every one of them seriously, when we surround them with an alive community and insist that they become, in the words of the earliest University catalogs, “ardent for the

truth,” – when we do all that, we produce what Edmund Stanley insisted was our foremost goal: a whole person, one who seamlessly integrates the intellectual, the social, the emotional, the spiritual, and the physical selves.

The Board of Trustees has taken to heart that message, gleaned not just from my historical study but also, in many of their cases, from their own experiences here at Friends University. In doing so, they have tightened our articulation of the University’s mission. You may have seen it already, but I repeat it here because I am motivated by it; I think it captures succinctly what we have been, at our core, since the University’s earliest days:

We are informed by the Quaker heritage of Friends University. We also are rooted both in the liberal arts tradition and in the Christian intellectual tradition.

Because of these roots, we insist that our students learn, inside and outside the classroom, to integrate their intellectual lives with their social and spiritual lives in ways that will improve the world. In doing our work authentically, we prepare our students to adapt to change and to make a difference.

The Board also approved a statement of our core values. I think of the values statement as the motor that drives the mission. Whether in the classroom, on the athletic field, in the rehearsal studio or in concert, or even in a solitary office in front of a computer screen, we bring these values to bear as we make our mission come alive.

Davis Administration Building c. 1910-1930

We believe that the underlying mission of all higher education is the search for truth. Grounded in the Christian intellectual tradition and our Quaker heritage, we affirm that truth is of and from God, and that our search is lifelong.

We insist that the search for truth be characterized by excellence and informed by integrity. Excellence demands that our best is always becoming better, and integrity means that we are honest with ourselves and with others. In our practice of excellence and integrity, we each take responsibility for what we do and say.

As searchers and learners, we support curiosity and research, and assign great value to diversity of experience. As people who value such diversity and openness, we approach new situations and people with good will and humility. We believe in equity and in the dignity of all people.

As a community, we accept and cherish our responsibility to care for one another in our learning and working relationships. We understand that a part of that care must be to become better stewards of what we have been given. We take care of the future as if we already are there.

I find in the Board’s statements of mission and values an answer to my question: why do we do it that way? We do it The Friends University Way. It’s in our DNA. Always, my best wishes for you,

The oldest son of Martin Luther King Jr. shared his thoughts on continuing his father’s dream as part of the Willard and Jean Garvey Lectureships in Law April 19. Martin Luther King III’s address is timely as this year is the 50th anniversary of his father’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

“We have made progress, but we still have a long way to go,” he said.

He also served on a panel for a Multicultural Community Forum the following day at University Friends Church that discussed ways to overcome cultural differences.

This year’s lecture was dedicated to Jean Kindel Garvey, who died in December 2012 and founded the lecture series along with her husband, Willard.

University signs articulation agreement with community colleges B y G isele M c M i n im y

Friends University is partnering with Metropolitan Community College, Kansas City (MCC) and Neosho County Community College (NCCC) on articulation agreements that allow students to seamlessly transfer credits from both community colleges to Friends University.

“We are pleased to partner with

MCC and NCCC on these agreements, which allow a student who completes an associate degree to be accepted as a College of Adult and Professional Studies student at Friends University,” said Friends University President Dr. T.J. Arant. “This agreement recognizes MCC and NCCC students have completed their general education requirements

and are ready to pursue a bachelor’s degree at Friends.”

President Arant signed the articulation agreements at both community colleges March 28.

Additionally, a $35 application fee to Friends University will be waived for all students and alumni of MCC and NCCC who have completed an associate degree.

The University also signed an articulation agreement with Kansas City Kansas Community College and is pursuing agreements with other community colleges in Kansas.

University experts share outlook on Wichita Business Journal panels B y G isele M c M i n im y

Twice this past year, Friends University speakers shared their expertise with community and business leaders as part of a Wichita Business Journal panel.

In January, Dr. T.J. Arant, president of Friends University, discussed the pressures facing institutions of higher education as part of the Wichita Business Journal’s Outlook 2013 Conference at the Hyatt Regency Wichita. Dr. Arant noted universities must become more strategic, look for new efficiencies and ensure they focus on core competencies.

Last fall, Dr. Malcolm Harris, professor of finance, discussed the potential economic impact of tax changes as part of a panel for the Wichita Business Journal’s “Navigating the Changing Tax Landscape” presentation at the Hyatt Regency Wichita.

Alumni Honored by Wichita Business Journal B y G isele M c M i n im y a n d S ara O r n elas

Women in Business

Three Friends University alumnae have been highlighted by the Wichita Business Journal as part of the newspaper’s Women in Business award.

Doris Harms, a 1998 business management graduate, was recognized for her work in building her company, Electromech Technologies, a manufacturing company that specializes in electromechanical equipment for the aerospace industry. As president, Harms says she has built her career on being trustworthy.

“You have to be accountable to people, to customers, to your board,” Harms said in the WBJ article.

Harms is also actively involved in the Wichita chapters of the ALS Association, American Cancer Society, the Make-AWish Foundation and the Greater YMCA of Wichita.

Dixie Larson, a 2006 business management graduate, refuses to play it safe in her career as partner and director of sales and marketing of Kennedy and Coe, an accounting and consulting firm in Wichita.

“Some people might have a tendency to stay where it’s safe,” she told the paper “but unless you are willing to take risks in life, you’ll never know all the possibilities.”

Larson is also an avid runner and completed a marathon in San Francisco the day before her 50th birthday in October 2010.

Debbie Winter, a 1994 Master of Management Information Systems graduate, is a master of efficiency in her role as the senior director of information technologies at Bombardier Aerospace.

Winter told the WBJ that her career centers around helping coworkers find the resources they need to do their jobs better.

“Finding solutions that will help people perform their jobs more easily – that’s my favorite part of my job. I enjoy helping people,” she told the WBJ. When she’s not working, Winter

also enjoys golfing at Rolling Hills Country Club.

To read the complete profiles of Harms, Larson and Winter, visit the Wichita Business Journal at frnd.su/women-in-business.

“I have the amazing privilege of being part of about 1,000 families in the Wichita area, and the longer I serve them the more I see what a privilege it is. I’m there for the tears and there for the joys,” Dr. Hoppock said.

Healthcare Hero

2012 CFO Award

The Wichita Business Journal has named former Friends University Board of Trustee member Dr. Kevin Hoppock as one of its Healthcare Heroes, an honor that recognizes companies, individuals and organizations for their contributions in improving health care in the Wichita area. Dr. Hoppock, a family practitioner with the Via Christi Clinic, has not only served Wichita, but has taken his talents overseas to the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi and Haiti.

Paul Meissner, a 1977 graduate, received a 2012 CFO Award from the Wichita Business Journal. Meissner has worked for Credit Union of America since 1991 and sings with the Wichita Symphony Chorus, the Wichita Ballet Chorus and the Friends University Alumni Chorus.

He also cantors at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, and has done more than 1,000 skydives. Paul recently began a new academic adventure and received his scuba diving certification in Hawaii.

Campus lectures broaden studentS perspectives B y G isele M c M i n im y

Friends University’s founders believed higher education is a time for students to search for truth. Because the University encourages curiosity and research and assigns great value to diversity of experience, students are given opportunities to attend lectures that provide a broad range of perspectives to help them in their search for truth.

In April, the Rev. Dr. Jamie Washington spoke to students, faculty, and staff about several human and social justice topics including racism and heterosexism.

A faculty development session – working with historically oppressed populations on healing and action – was followed by a session on understanding the similarities and differences between racism and heterosexism. Small group discussions gave attendees an opportunity to discuss these issues and then learn how internalized oppression, prejudice, and hostility affects historically excluded populations.

The quirky news of Friends University’s banana bandits has attracted national attention.

News agencies across the United States have picked up on the pair of produceparsing pranksters, including the Chicago Tribune, KTVU in California, WFTV in Florida, WSBTV in Georgia – even CNN. The duo – which wishes to remain publicly anonymous, but whose names are well-known throughout the University – gained local media attention when they started decorating Wichita’s Friends University campus on Thursday nights. These delicious and nutritious acts of kindness have been occurring for about a year and a half. Students have reported showing up on campus Friday mornings to find bananas perched in precarious and unexpected locations, including the branches of trees, statues, bleachers, and outside President Dr. T.J. Arant’s front door.

The bandits say that each Thursday, they go to Wal-Mart, dance around the banana stand in the produce section, and make their purchase.

While the banana bandits admit that their antics started out as a goofy idea, it’s turned into a way of giving back to the University. Since gaining public attention, several other students have joined the bandits in their pursuit to adorn the campus with yellow snacks.

The bandits have said that their intent is to leave a “fruity legacy” at the University.

In 1988, Jaynelle and Ralph Minter created perpetual opportunity from personal tragedy. As Friends University alumni and public school educators, Jaynelle and Ralph were life-long learners and teachers. Shortly after their 19-year old granddaughter Angie Landers died, they endowed a scholarship at Friends in her memory for students graduating from Wichita’s North High School. The Minters were married 72 years, and after Ralph died in 2012, Jaynelle established another endowment, the Ralph L. and Jaynelle A. Minter Memorial Scholarship, for students majoring in education. Jaynelle also provided for a final gift to the Minter Memorial Scholarship fund through her estate plan. Jaynelle died earlier this year, but the Minter’s commitment to helping young men and women pursue their dreams at Friends will live on through their generous legacy.

One of Friends University’s professors has been awarded the prestigious Fulbright Scholarship.

Dr. Guangqui Xu, professor of history, is lecturing and conducting research at the National University of Singapore.

The Fulbright program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the United States government,

and is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries.

Dr. Xu is approximately one of 1,100 U.S. faculty and professionals travelling abroad through the Fulbright program during the 2012-13 academic year.

Dr. Xu, who earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in China and his Ph.D. from the University of Maryland, not only teaches at Friends University, but has been a visiting professor at Xu’an International Studies University in China.

On his Fulbright application, Dr. Xu attributes much of his academic success to his curiosity, being “fleXUble” and open-minded with a sense of humor.

“In another culture, there are many things that lead one to weep, get angry, be annoyed, embarrassed, or discouraged,” Dr. Xu wrote. “The ability to laugh off things helps me to guard against despair.”

Dr. Xu said Singapore interests him because of its cultural diversity – five million people, most of which are of Chinese, Malay or Indian decent. The National University of Singapore, he writes, “is a leading global university

centered in Asia, offering a global approach to education and research.”

He hopes to bring what he learns in Singapore back to Friends University to benefit the entire University community.

“Upon my return, I will make a concerted effort to bring my Fulbright experience to campus and community by giving presentations based on my lectures and research collaborations,” Dr. Xu wrote in his Fulbright application.

“I will also encourage my colleagues to go in for teaching and research opportunities in other countries and will reach out to students going overseas to study. I will use my experiences to build an international study major or program at Friends University.”

“It also gives families some ideas about what their student may be feeling emotionally or physically at certain times of the semester,” Dr. Obermeyer said. “For example, when the high-stress times are and what families can do to help their students deal with that stress.”

The newsletter also gives families quick contact with someone they have gotten to know and trust.

Jazz students gain insight into Cuban culture

When you are the only college jazz ensemble from the United States to be invited to the Havana International Jazz Festival, you accept the invitation. That’s how approximately 20 Friends University undergraduate jazz students found themselves on a life-changing trip to Cuba Dec. 18-24. The Friends University Jazz Ensemble 1 performed at City Hall in Cancun, Mexico, and then spent five days in Havana, where they performed at the festival under the direction of Lisa Hittle, assistant professor of music and director of the jazz department. The trip served as a unique opportunity for U.S. students to visit a country where travel was only recently opened to groups desiring cultural or educational exchanges.

“I wanted the band to experience this culture that is so rich in music and art, yet so vastly different from our life,” Hittle said. “I literally saw students change and grow.”

Kelley Reynolds, senior in music The Cuban people exhibited extraordinary kindnesses to us even though we had never met. When we visited a senior center, the people had taken the time to find out that my birthday was approaching.

They gave me gifts, sang; and then we all danced. It was a very emotional experience because they have very little, and they went out of their way to show this kindness to someone they had never met before.

Zachary Rich, freshman in trombone performance and psychology I decided to travel to Cuba because of the great musical and cultural experience I knew I would get. Not only did I learn about Cuban music and culture, but my overall views on many aspects of life broadened. I have become more open-minded and I have more of a drive to succeed. I would definitely recommend international travel to other students because I believe being exposed to different cultures and ways of life creates a more dynamic person.

Daniel Byers, senior in elementary education We went to Cuba and came back completely changed individuals with an entirely new perspective on our own lives as well as others. I keep telling people about the lives of the youth and what it means to be in poverty in America versus Cuba.

We do not appreciate what we do not understand. A poverty-stricken school in America would far exceed many of the best schools in Cuba as far as conditions and staff are concerned.

Andre’ A. Reyes Jr., sophomore in piano performance Seeing the level of musicianship made me want to work hard and strive for my dreams. For lots of Cubans, music is the only thing they have. To see how much they cherish and love it made my love for music shoot for the roof. It made me a more humble musician. If I can, I would love to live and study there for a while, because the emotion and heart they put into their music made me want that for myself.

Denise Curry Sherman, 2012 Graduate Director, Employer Services Wichita Area Technical College The international study experience allowed me to immerse myself into the daily and fundamental activities, yet gain a better understanding how strategically designed organizational development can apply on multiple levels of an organization. What was reinforced for me is that human behavior is universal and that people have the same basic needs, aspirations and desires no matter where they may live. This trip provided a real-life case study where our team was able to identify organizational issues, performance gaps and unfulfilled expectations, while empowering all levels of staff to dream, discover, develop and deliver solutions that will improve their organization.

Students consult at Bolivian hospital Six students from the Master of Organization Development program traveled to Cochabamba, Bolivia, in July 2012. Dr. Jim Maddox, program director, placed the students in a weeklong, hands-on residency with Hospitals of Hope and a local hospital. Hospitals of Hope is a Wichita faith-based non-profit organization engaged in medical missions work.

They have hospitals in Liberia, Haiti, and Bolivia and are also well known for their “Clinics in a Can,” a mobile clinic that can be shipped or airlifted to areas of need around the world.

Lori Swilley, 2012 Graduate Program Manager at Contingent Workforce Program, ZeroChaos, on site at Spirit Aerosystems Applying what we learned in the United States to another country seemed like it might be challenging. We visited two orphanages, and the children stole my heart.

There was one little boy who I seemed to connect with.

I still think about him and will never forget the special time I spent with this little guy. The ability to observe how the orphanages operate was fascinating, and I found myself applying organization development principles to much of what I experienced.

Even though this was not part of our official project, it was nonetheless extremely valuable.

Because this experience was so people oriented, it has helped me to see a greater diversity among people – personalities, beliefs, values. I feel more in tune to differences and a little more tolerant of differing opinions.

Teresa Strausz, 2012 Graduate Community & Organization Specialist at Wichita State University Center for Community Support & Research Working with a hospital gave me an opportunity to see how people who are hurting and people who are affected by those who are hurting give and receive support. I heard stories of the witnessing of Christ’s love in ways that I have seldom experienced.

I heard stories of miracles in the healing of persons, and I heard stories of the power of healers praying with the afflicted as well as their families. These stories affected me deeply. Our work as organization development practitioners is about the human experience and I learned that as practitioners, we learn so much more when we remain open and vulnerable.

Nonprofits in the United States face many of the same challenges faced by the nonprofit hospital we worked with in Bolivia. These issues include finding ways to gain trust and engagement with the community within which they work, effectively market their services and find sustainable funding sources.

Tommy Reed, 2012 Graduate Information & Technology Manager: The IMA Financial Group, Inc. There is no rat race in Cochabamba. I had no idea how I would “practice organization development” in a foreign country. By leaning into that discomfort, asking questions, and working with a team, I found out that it was not only possible, but we would do it well. I take that experience to any challenge I face today. I remind myself: “I don’t know how I’m going to do this, but I know I’m going to do it well.”

We thought that the language barrier would make conversation difficult.

We found that the careful process that comes with translating foreign language may have helped to improve the process. We were more careful to explain our meaning. We listened more. We were careful to understand better.

Commander Mario Toro of Chile’s FIDAE answers questions about the International Air and Space Fair that showcases international aerospace and defense companies.

Grad students do business residency in Chile Chilean businessman Andrew Matetic and student Marlin Staley talk about the aviation industry at Aviasur, a full-service Chilean aircraft company that services brands including Beechcraft.

After two years of studying international business, 28 students from the Master of Global Leadership and Management program spent a week in Santiago, Chile, as part of a business residency. Program Director Dr. Valentina Chappell arranged for students to meet with executives from leading companies to benchmark their academic knowledge against foreign business practices and to practice their cross-cultural communication. See more photos and read students’ posts on their travel blog at frnd.su/mglm-blog. The next global leadership class will visit Beijing, China, in July 2013.

Marlin Staley, 2013 Graduate Production Manager Aero-Mach Labs I had traveled to more than 20 countries before taking this course. The experience helped me prepare to meet my goals and open my mind to South American opportunities.

Knowing different cultures, how they communicate, market and what they need to be successful is a great learning experience for business employees through executive level positions.

Terry J. Russell, 2012 Graduate Engineering Supervisor, Boeing Understanding how other cultures approach the negotiation process and how they arrive at decisions can be a great advantage.

The experience helped me become more sensitive to cultural influences. I do a better job finding ways to get more from employees by tailoring my leadership style.

I’ve learned that you need to treat people how they want to be treated, rather than how you want to be treated.

Alan Clutter, 2012 Graduate Contracts Procurement Agent, Spirit Aero Systems This helped me understand business is the same everywhere – just with some different dimensions that we might not be accustomed to. My outlook on international business is much stronger. We witnessed a student protest of education costs. We witnessed riot police using water cannons and tear gas as the student protesters had turned violent against the government.

Kimberly Wilson, 2012 Graduate Export/Import Product Classification Compliance Specialist, Beechcraft It was an experience of a lifetime. We were able to talk with many business owners and CEOs, making our experience very educational.

Visiting Aviasur was especially exciting for me because I do not often see our finished product. They had several of our aircraft in their hanger.

How do wind and natural gas fit into the energy equation?

People are looking for a silver bullet, and there’s no silver bullet. It’s not either/or with natural gas and wind. If you have a wind farm, you have to have a fossil fuel backup, such as natural gas, because the wind doesn’t blow all the time. We are clearly going to develop a lot more natural gas even if we develop more wind, because we have so much of it, and it’s cleaner than coal. There are environmental concerns about natural gas drilling, but there also are some about wind. Producing electricity from wind is essentially carbonfree, but carbon is emitted to produce wind turbines. You use up a lot of land. Some people complain about the noise. No one should be deluded into thinking everything is perfect.

Fuel for Thought A conversation with Jeffrey Ball, Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellow and clean-energy writer

B y B ria n W heple y

How did you end up coming to Kansas?

I’m part of the Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows program. I go to a college or university once or twice a year for a week visiting classes. I have a good deal of contact with students at Stanford, but more with graduate students. I guide students with projects, particularly concerning China.

The week of Jeffrey Ball’s visit in mid-October turned out to be a fine example of winddriven energy. Northern gusts whipped through Wichita with enough vigor to carry a good bit of Plains dirt along with them.

Ball, a longtime Wall Street Journal reporter and columnist on energy issues, was in Wichita to share his knowledge of wind and other forms of energy. He spent time with business, science, journalism and other classes at Friends University. He also took part in the University’s community conversation event, Great Conversation!, with a session on “New Power: America at an Energy Crossroads.”

Now scholar-in-residence with Stanford University’s Steyer-Taylor Center for Energy Policy and Finance, Ball’s research involves the competition among nations and industry for the clean-energy market, and what that means for consumers and the environment. China’s renewable energy push and the economics of changing fossil-fuel use figure into his work.

Are we in the middle of a prime opportunity to develop renewable energy?

To some people, the fact that we have plentiful natural gas means we don’t need to do anything on the renewable side. If you’re concerned about climate change and energy security, you can do both of those with natural gas. The other argument is that natural gas is a bridge to something else, that it buys us time to develop and bring down the cost of technologies that are lower or even zero carbon.

Students ask Jeffrey Ball for good examples of clean-energy integration.

Is energy “shock” required to really bring renewables into play?

History makes it pretty clear that societies don’t make big energy shifts because of environmental altruism but because they’re shocked into it by an economic crisis that

“Our inclination is to buy a Prius or put solar panels on the roof.

The first thing you should do is put insulation in your walls.�

persuades them to change how they’re consuming energy. It happened in Europe and in Japan, and I think it’s happening in China right now. We do not in this country feel that imperative.

But the recent history of this country shows that when there are shocks, we respond. When gas prices have spiked, you have seen changes in Americans’ buying habits.

“There’s not one energy solution.” paying more for. There have been two arguments for renewable energy: One is climate change and the other is a security argument, and that’s largely gone away with natural gas. People who tend to think climate change is a real problem would pay more for renewable energy; those who don’t think climate change is a problem won’t pay more.

How is our situation different than that of other countries?

We are plentifully endowed with fossil fuels in ways that other countries that shifted to renewable energies are not.

When the Arab oil embargo happened in the 1970s, the effect on the U.S. was much less than in Europe. We are much bigger, we drive a lot more and we have to transmit electricity over much longer distances. Because we are so big and have a greater variety of climates, it’s much less clear that one or two renewable energy sources are the solution.

Jeffrey Ball addresses America’s energy crossroads during a roundtable discussion at Great Conversation Oct. 18.

What about subsidies for renewable energy?

First, all energy sources are subsidized, and clearly there are policies that have benefited fossil fuels. The real question behind the debate over subsidies for renewable energy is whether the reasons for renewable energy are worth

26 | F r i e n d s

U n i v e rs i t y

How can energy incentives be smarter?

We started subsidizing renewable energy through tax credits, which gives a credit based on how much an investor spends to develop a renewable energy project. The problem with that subsidy is that it doesn’t incentivize efficiency; instead, the more you spend the bigger the break you get.

That subsidy was changed in the early 1990s to a production tax credit based on how much electricity you actually produce, and theoretically that’s a smarter idea. However, developers tend to be smaller companies, so Wall Street – large investment banks – has come in as partners. That’s fine, but as much as 30 percent of the value of these credits is not going to renewable energy, but to the profits of these banks. It’s certainly not maximizing the amount of taxpayer money going to produce renewable energy.

How about putting a price on carbon?

I suspect that at some point there will be a price on carbon dioxide emissions. The real debate is whether there should be a tax on carbon or a cap-and-trade system.

Advocates of a price on carbon say it’s the most efficient way to set the rules of a market so that the most efficient

technologies rise to the top. It’s a hugely complicated question, because what you do actually does determine who wins and loses, and it determines who pays more and who pays less among consumers and whether you actually reduce carbon.

How can energy policy improve?

First, we can force energy incentives to be much more economically efficient.

Second, we need to get smarter about grabbing the low-hanging fruit with energy. We tend to be enamored of the sexy rather than the boring. We as individuals and a country want to shift to cleaner energy, so our inclination is to buy a Prius or put solar panels on the roof. And every study says that’s not the first thing you should do. The first thing you should do is put insulation in your walls. A lot of policies on the state and local levels incentivize renewable energy as opposed to energy efficiency. One real no-brainer is to get those in alignment.

What other challenges are there?

What’s so difficult about the prospect of a big shift to renewables in the United States is that the drivers of that shift are so soft. Other places that have made big shifts have hard, almost undeniable drivers, the shocks. We’re having this debate precisely because the drivers are so soft. We all need to be humble here.

There’s a lot we don’t know. When we’ve predicted almost anything about energy, we’ve been surprised, so we ought to anticipate that we’ll be surprised again.

The takeaway…

People need to really understand that there’s not one energy solution, and it’s so complicated that people want to gravitate to one solution. It’s harder than that.

Recognizing our benefactors

By Tracy Muirhead

Your generosity – and that of all the alumni and friends of the University – makes it possible for Friends University to deliver great educational experiences to our students and to do so affordably and effectively. Moreover, your investment in Friends is a vote of confidence for our mission: for our heritage and traditions that are the foundation of this institution; for the quality academic programs and faculty; for our co-curricular programs and student support services; and, for the entire Friends University community that is committed to helping students learn to make a difference in the world.

Inherent in the values of Friends University and clearly stated in our new values statement, is the importance of and our commitment to stewardship of what has been given and for that which we will receive in the future. We are deeply grateful for the gifts we receive every year.

Without that support we could not offer scholarships to our students, maintain a physical plant that enhances the learning and living environment, and hire firstrate faculty and staff to produce the kind of experience that makes Friends an excellent university.

To appropriately express our gratitude for your generosity, to illustrate your confidence in us, and to confirm that the greater Friends community shares a commitment to our mission, we have developed a new manner with which to recognize Friends University’s benefactors.

Board of Trustees

Rodney Pitts: A Legacy of Leadership B y G isele M c M i n im y

As Rod Pitts finishes his most recent term of service as chair of the Friends University Board of Trustees, he is completing what has become a family tradition. His family has been involved in the life of Friends University for eight decades and four generations, and has had more than 20 family members who call the University home.

A 1982 graduate, Rod has served as chair of the board since 2007. During this term, he served as chair for the Presidential Search Committee and led the effort to hire a new University president for the first time in 20 years. He worked diligently to create a process that gave all constituencies feedback and input into the hiring process and kept all parties updated about the search process.

“It has been an honor to serve Friends University as chair of the Board of Trustees these past few years,” Pitts said. “I am fortunate to follow in my father’s footsteps and share our family’s commitment to higher education. It has been rewarding to help facilitate the Board’s long-term planning centered around leadership priorities and updating of the University’s mission, vision and strategic plan. I am quite optimistic Friends University will continue to enhance its efforts to prepare students to adapt to change and to make a difference in the world.”

Rod began serving on the board in 1994 and previously served as chair of the board from the University’s centennial year in 1998 to 2003. He served two terms as vice chair and has served on nine board subcommittees.

His father, 1957 graduate Daryl Pitts, served for three terms on the Friends University Board of Trustees throughout four decades and served as chair of the board from 1982-86. Daryl served on the Presidential Search Committee that hired President Richard Felix in the late 1970s. He also served as president of the Friends Management Corporation from 1990-91.

“Friends University has benefited from Rod’s leadership during critical times in the University’s history,” said President T.J. Arant. “We appreciate his and his family’s long-standing service and meaningful contributions throughout the years, and we look forward to their family’s continued involvement in the future.”

Jean served on the Friends University Board of Trustees for nine years from 1988 to 1997. In the mid-

In 2001, the family established the Olive White Garvey Presidential Scholarships at Friends University. In 2007 the Garvey family distributed the remaining funds from the Olive White Garvey Trust to various charitable organizations. Friends University received its largest-ever

Jean enjoyed attending University scholarship luncheons to meet the students who received the scholarships.

In addition to her work with Friends University, Jean helped co-found Wichita Collegiate School, established The Independent School, and worked tirelessly for The Salvation Army, Wichita Symphony Society and Goodwill Industries, among others.

Many Friends University faculty and staff will miss her cheerful presence on campus.
