making a difference. What are our greatest assets? Mays Business School has terrific facilities. Our state-of-the-art classrooms have the latest technology to aid in teaching. The Wehner building, with its spacious lecture halls and top-notch computer labs, is beautiful as well as functional and is a source of pride for all of us. We can also brag about the excellence of our faculty, who are renowned for their research as well as their skill as instructors. They teach with passion, and prepare our students not just for a high-paying career after graduation, but a lifetime of real success. And where would we be without our students? Mays students are second-to-none. They consistently impress me, both with their outstanding academic quality and with their commitment to giving back to the community and to the world. Our students, faculty, and facilities are all assets vital to our success. But just important are our benefactors and other supporters. Indeed, one of our greatest assets at Mays is you. You share our vision for sustainable excellence in business education. You make our passion a reality. Without your support we would not have the means to have such fantastic facilities; we could not afford to attract the finest faculty available; and we would not be able to give our students the rich and rigorous education they deserve. Did you know that our accounting students continue to have the highest pass rates in the state of Texas for the CPA exam? Our MBAs topped the charts in the area of placement after graduation in the latest rankings of America’s best graduate business schools from U.S. News & World Report. Mays undergraduate program was listed at 10th in the nation among other public business schools in a recent study by BusinessWeek. These measurable examples of success would not be possible with out you. Your gifts, be they for faculty endowments, scholarships, programming, or facilities, are making a difference every day at Mays. As you read through this publication, I hope you will be touched by the students’ stories. I hope you will be impressed with the faculty we’ve highlighted and the work that they are doing. And I hope you will be inspired by the benefactors who have made it all possible. Thank you for partnering with us in this important work. Sincerely, Ricky Griffin Interim Dean

Thrust and parry, debit and credit Mays student balances full academic load with passion for fencing

As a National Merit Achievement Scholar, Andrew Spriggs could have gone just about anywhere for his education. Yet out of all of his college options, this highly intelligent and successful young man chose Mays. The offer of substantial scholarships was what first caught Andrew’s eye about Texas A&M. As the recipient of a President’s Endowed Scholarship, Director’s Excellence Award, and National Merit Recognition Scholarship, Andrew is able to attend Mays at no cost. This was important to him, as his father recently retired from the Army with the rank of Major. Andrew was determined not to burden his family with his educational expenses while his father transitions from a 20-year military career into the civilian sector.

“...I want the donors that support me to feel that they’ve made a good investment in me.” Andrew Spriggs ’11 Lawton, Oklahoma

Beyond the financial incentive, Andrew was drawn to A&M on his first visit by the friendliness of the campus. “Even though it’s a big school, everyone here tries to reach out,” he says. “It really feels like a big family.” Andrew recognizes that the donors that fund his education are an important part of that Aggie family. He appreciates the opportunity that he’s been given and knows that it comes with a responsibility. “I feel that there is an obligation on me now…I want the donors that support me to feel that they’ve made a good investment in me,” he says. Rest assured, that investment is bearing divdends. Andrew is maintaining a 4.0 GPR as a business honors student, in addition to spending most nights working out with his teammates on the A&M fencing squad. Andrew is planning to be an accounting major, and intends to graduate from the Professional Program—achieving his BA and MS in accounting, along with a CPA certification—in just four years, instead of the usual five.

Building a global Aggie reputation

High achieving Aggie finds her place at Mays, plans for a career in real estate

Venkatesh Shankar doesn’t use his endowment funds to escape to his “ivory tower.” Instead, he uses them to make a name for A&M all over the world

Eventually her father’s injuries prevented him from being able to drive or continue his work as a teacher, making insurance settlements their only income. They had enough to live on, but college became a hard-to-reach dream when Allison discovered that the insurance money she was receiving made her ineligible for federal financial aid. Allison is a high-achieving student with a passion and drive for her business education. That’s why she chose Texas A&M, though there were more affordable places closer to home. “I knew what A&M had to offer and I didn’t want to sacrifice my college education for the sake of finances…It’s the little things that make the business program at Mays different from other schools,” she said. “There’s a focus on gratitude, respect, and building character right from day one.” One of the “little things” that makes a difference for Allison is the Business Honors program at Mays. This selective program pairs high-achieving students with the best faculty in a small classroom setting. Allison says honors has been amazing during her first year as a student.

“...There’s a focus on gratitude, respect, and building character right from day one.” ”

Allison was awarded the Lorraine and Theodore Dinerstein ’53 Dean’s Endowed Scholarship, which has paid for much of her freshman year and qualified her for in-state tuition. “That’s a BIG help,” she says. Allison is immensely grateful to the donors that are funding her education. “It means so much more than they can imagine. The money I received is important, but more than that, giving me this scholarship means they support me and care about my goals. It’s really encouraging to know that.”

Though she is not a native Texan, Allison is now a confirmed transplant. “I love it here,” she says. “I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.” She plans to stay in Texas after she graduates with a degree in marketing and go into the field of commercial real estate.

Venkatesh Shankar, professor of marketing, has traveled the world to conduct and present research, but he has not done it alone. As an endowed chairholder, everywhere he has gone, he’s taken the name of Brandon Coleman with him. The name of the benefactor whose gift enables Shankar’s work is mentioned every time Shankar is introduced at a conference; when Shankar publishes a paper, Coleman is acknowledged; and when Shankar gives a business card, Coleman’s name is there. Shankar says this is only fair, as the endowed funds Coleman has provided contribute to the research account that makes his accolades possible. “Sometimes the funds that other faculty have are not adequate if they don’t have an endowment. If you have an endowed fund to back you up, it allows you to collect additional data and go the extra mile in your research and also share the research on a broader scale,” said Shankar, who sees tremendous value in disseminating his research.

Tragedy marked Allison Dyer’s life at a young age. When she was seven years old, a head-on collision with a drunk driver claimed the life of her mother and aunt. Her father survived the accident, but was left with permanent traumatic injuries.

The more A&M students and faculty present at conferences, the more recognition and respect the school earns on a global platform, says Shankar. “Overseas, the school is not as well known as it is within the U.S.…once they get to know the quality of our work, they are impressed,” he said. For this reason, Shankar uses much of his endowed fund to travel and present his research. He also supports his PhD students in doing the same.

Sometimes the best research topics are also the most expensive. Shankar says that knowing he has the ability to pursue what he is passionate about, with little concern with how he’ll finance it, is very liberating for him and for his students.

in areas where they will have maximum impact.” Currently, Shankar is using his research account supported by endowed funds to complete a timely book on China and India as emerging world superpowers. As part of his research, Shankar recently traveled to Asia where he conducted research, met with business people, and presented his research in several settings.

“A faculty member without an endowed fund may have to tell his or her students ‘you may want to look at a different dissertation topic…this one’s going to be too expensive to research.’ The endowment frees up resources for [my students] to be able to go after the right projects,” he says. “It allows them to unleash their research and creative energies

paper and similar awards can be attributed to Hitt or his guidance over the 20 years he’s been teaching at Mays. Professional enrichment through travel is also a key benefit Hitt sees in these endowed funds. Hitt routinely allocates money to send his students to conferences that will make them better researchers, better professionals, and better instructors. Often the students he sends are PhD candidates, whose attendance at these events also benefits the undergraduate students they are teaching. The dollars he spends on his own research enrich Hitt’s classroom, as he employs real world examples in his instruction, drawn from his own study. Hitt’s area of specialty is international strategy, so those travel funds are especially important. For example, he recently taught a section about China to MBAs and EMBAs. “One of the major reasons I can do that is because I’ve traveled to China and met with scholars and business people there a number of times…having the support to be able to do that has helped me build a store of knowledge about China that I’ve used in the classroom,” he says. Hitt is also an honorary dean at the School of Management at China’s Xi’an Jiaotong University.

Michael Hitt, holder of the Joe B. Foster ’56 Chair in Business Leadership According to Michael Hitt, Texas A&M University Distinguished Professor of Management, when a Mays benefactor chooses to endow a chair, that gift has ripples that will touch thousands of lives.

There’s more to an endowed gift than the financial impact. Hitt says that when donors are willing to lend their name to the school, it’s meaningful to people even outside of academia.

As the one-time holder of dual endowed positions, he knows firsthand the difference this type of gift can make. He holds the Foster Chair in Business Leadership, and recently stepped down from the C.W. and Dorothy Conn Chair in New Ventures to allow the honor to pass to someone else in his department.

“Having that title opens doors and allows access to executives all around the world,” he says. “That name goes with me anywhere I go…having that endowed position lends extra credibility and legitimacy to me that help me do my work.” As part of his work with the Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship, Hitt recently co-created a new publication titled Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal. He has recently been recognized as one of the top 30 mostcited and most-published authors in the history of the prestigious Journal of Management. He has also been named an Inaugural Fellow of the Strategic Management Society.

Hitt uses much of the endowment monies available to him for research—for both his projects as well as students. If the gift’s usefulness can be measured by the accolades Hitt and his students have garnered, then the money is being well spent. Hitt and his students continue to publish work that is making an impact in today’s marketplace. Numerous best

more than a quarter of a century, and their recent gifts further cement that bond.

Deloitte An organization is only as good as its leaders. That’s why Deloitte & Touche chose to establish the Deloitte Leadership Professorship in Accounting through its gift of $500,000. This fund will provide financial support to enhance the teaching and professional development of the head of the accounting department.

In the past few years, the Mays accounting department has had the good fortune to partner with each of the Big Four accounting firms, creating a strong reputation for the department, as well as a powerful pipeline for our new graduates. Accounting firms Deloitte, Ernst & Young, and KPMG have shown their Aggie spirit with pledge gifts of more than $500,000 each in the last year. These firms have been partners in education with Mays Business School for

It is fitting that the initial appointee to this professorship is James Benjamin, as he has been at the helm of the accounting department since 1982 and on the Mays faculty since 1974. “We are especially thrilled that we can endow this professorship at a time when Jim Benjamin is leading the accounting Continued on next page.

department,” said Chip D’Andrea, managing partner, Deloitte & Touche, Houston Audit Services. “Jim has been the constant and guiding force for the program’s continued ascent as a nationally recognized top tier accounting program. To have him be the first recipient of our professorship is extremely gratifying to Deloitte Aggies.”

Ernst & Young. Benjamin says that this kind of “branding” can be of great value to organizations that want to attract new graduates. It’s also of value to the students as the Ernst & Young gift enriches their education through faculty training, guest speakers, updated technology, and support for student competitions and conferences.

KPMG

Benjamin acknowledged the committed teamwork between Mays and Deloitte, noting that the corporate partner had been very involved with the development of the program, including service on the advisory council, in addition to continued financial support. Deloitte has also endowed both a professorship for the director of the Professional Program and a significant scholarship fund for accounting majors.

Chris Patton, Deloitte’s partner in charge of recruiting at Texas A&M, also recognized this alliance. “We’ve found there to be a great fit between Mays students and Deloitte culture. We hire more candidates out of Mays than any other school in the area.”

Ernst & Young Mays is providing a vital service to its corporate partners by training the brightest young minds in accounting and by conducting research that improves practices and makes a firm stronger. Ernst & Young recognizes this benefit. “Investing in the work at A&M is really an investment in our own future…we continue to hire more and more phenomenal students from A&M,” said Ellen Glazerman, executive director of the Ernst & Young Foundation, also citing innovations in faculty research that pertain to the accounting industry. “We want to be part of an on-going collaboration,” she said.

“Our firm has a legacy of giving, and we didn’t intend to stop,” said Randall Hill, a partner at KPMG’s Dallas office who graduated from Mays with his BBA in accounting in 1983. “We’ve been fortunate enough to hire some great students from Mays…they have the initiative, motivation and personality to do well in this field. We want to do everything we can to keep this program strong.”

Travel early in his life forever shaped Almond’s own experiences. “I caught the international bug early on,” said Almond who spent several years of his youth in Indonesia. Almond further stretched his horizons when he participated in a study abroad program in Helsinki, Finland, as a graduate student and then took jobs for multinational companies, working in Paris and Tokyo.

Hill says that the firm examined its past giving and decided that their current gift should more directly benefit the students, so that Mays can “continue to attract the best and brightest students to the accounting program.”

“I believe that there is great business and personal value to a student starting on a path to becoming a citizen of the world,” said Almond. “Once you immerse yourself in a different culture you become so much more diplomatic and aware, and you come to a better understanding of all cultures.”

This excellence is reflected in recent rankings in which Mays students scored the highest overall pass rate in the state on the CPA exam at 83 percent, according to the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy. The overall pass rate nationwide is less than 44 percent while the average pass rate in Texas is 54.8 percent.

The Professional Program is the premier program in the accounting department, training the most dedicated students to graduate in five years with a BBA in accounting and an MS in accounting, finance, MIS, or marketing/e-commerce.

“Our student success on the exam suggests that they are well prepared and highly motivated,” said Benjamin, who credits some of the students’ success to the donors that have such an impact on their education.

In recognition of this gift, the suite of offices occupied by the Professional Program staff has been named in honor of

KPMG has now committed to a gift of $550,000 for endowed scholarships in accounting. This is a very timely action, as Mays has recently announced a scholarship campaign called “Endowing the Future,” which is seeking just this type of gift.

When it comes down to it, Benjamin says that state funding for education is “adequate” for a solid program, but these corporate gifts allow for excellence.

Their $500,000 gift will be used to establish the Ernst & Young Professional Program Learning Endowment, supporting faculty, students, facilities, and technology in the Professional Program.

Almonds fund studies abroad

As a businessman, Brad Almond ’89 knows the value of international business relations. As a human being, Almond appreciates the importance of understanding among peoples of diverse backgrounds. That’s the reason he has committed $25,000 to Mays to establish the Cathy and Bradley C. Almond ’89 Endowed Scholarship, which will provide study abroad scholarships to business students.

According to David Hicks, senior development officer at Mays, when a donor gives the final installment of a large gift, usually there is a sigh of relief and a pause in giving. That was not the case with KPMG. They recently concluded a five-year pledge gift of $500,000 for an endowed professorship, and as soon as that was fully funded asked, “What can we do next?”

“Just as important, Deloitte is also significant as a leading recruiter of our students,” said Benjamin.

“You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself.” – Harvey S. Firestone

When an Aggie passes on, it does not have to be the end of their influence in this world. Through the pain of tragedy, many find comfort in creating a tribute gift to a fallen Aggie. This was the case when Sam Svoboda ’82 passed away in May of 2007. “[Svoboda] was a fervent Aggie,” said David Donnelly, partner in the accounting firm of Gainer, Donnelly & Desroches (GD&D). Svoboda had worked for the firm since 1993, and he and Donnelly were long-time friends as well as business partners. After Svoboda’s death, the friends he left behind wished to honor his memory in a way that would be meaningful. And so the Sam C. Svoboda ’82 Endowed Scholarship Fund for Aggie Accounting Majors was established at Mays with a $50,000 gift from his friends, clients and colleagues at GD&D. “He was not only a leader in the firm, but a leader in the profession,” said Donnelly. Through this gift, Donnelly said he hoped to create a legacy in the name of his colleague while establishing a more dynamic relationship between Mays and GD&D, in fitting with Svoboda’s Aggie spirit. “It is truly wonderful when one individual touches the lives of others in such a way that they are willing to honor his memory through such a generous gift,” said Ricky Griffin, interim dean. “Future Aggie accounting majors will have the opportunity to pursue their own dreams with the support of this endowment.”

Almond knows that study abroad is often not an option for students who are paying for college themselves and who cannot afford to take a semester off of work. “I wanted to provide funds for those students,” he said. Currently, Almond is the CFO of Voyager Learning Co., a publicly traded company that creates children’s educational curriculum. Almond and his wife, Cathy, have three children.

Howard Horne ’47 Howard Horne knows about both business and personal success. He also knows that his success was enriched by his years at Texas A&M University.That’s the reason why he recently included Mays in his estate plan with a gift of $500,000.

In a world of scam-artists and dubious schemes, charitable giving can sometimes be a scary business. When it comes to giving to Texas A&M, Robyn and Alan Roberts say they aren’t afraid. “There are lots of things that you can give to. When we give funds we want to be sure that they are going to be used well and used in the way that we expect. We have that confidence in A&M,” said Robyn.

“I wanted to give back to the school what I felt it’s given to me,” said Horne. “I know that part of all the success I’ve had has ties to A&M.”

Robyn Roberts says that she and her husband are very happy to be able to give back to the school that has meant so much to their personal and professional lives. “We love coming back to A&M. We love the fellowship there,” she said, also sharing her appreciation for the education she received as well as the Aggie network she’s been able to establish.

His gift will establish the Howard Horne ’47 Endowed Professorship in Commercial Real Estate, which will be used to recruit and develop a faculty member in the area where Horne himself has achieved so much.

Horne’s academic career was interrupted by World War II. After putting his Corps training to use in the Air Force he finished his degree in business administration. He returned to his hometown of Houston to join his father’s business, the W.A. Horne Company.

With Horne’s help, the company flourished, growing from a three-man operation to a brokerage staffed by 250 people.

Now, the Roberts seek to touch the next generation of Aggies through their gift. “We want to give people an opportunity that they might not have any other way. We want them to have a chance to show their abilities and their leadership,” said Robyn.

Recently Horne sold the company to Cushman & Wakefield, a global real estate firm, but he still remains active in the corporation. In this business, Horne says, “you have to learn to live by your wits.” That’s why he appreciated A&M’s emphasis on entrepreneurship, which taught him how to see opportunities and take measured risks. He hopes that his gift will enable others to enter this exciting field.

Both accounting majors, Alan and Robyn had a true Aggie romance, starting when they met at a football game. The Roberts are co-owners of Pumpco Inc, a pipeline construction and oilfield leasing company, which Alan founded in 1981. They have two daughters, Jennifer and Allyson.

Giving to others is a big part of Horne’s life. “It’s necessary to provide for others what was provided for me…I was not born into wealth, and that’s why A&M was a godsend for me. It was affordable.”

The apparent decline from 2004-2005 to 2005-2006 reflects a correction to our accounting system. Until 2005-2006 annual giving and endowment contributions were both included in this category. However, since endowment contributions do not represent available funds, this category now represents only non-endowment gifts and contributions.
