Message from the Board Chair
Dear Friends,
I
n everything there is a gift. This year has been a challenging one for Nazareth, as it has been for every college and university in the country that is committed to maintaining its excellence and initiative in the face of a harsh economy. The gift is that our Nazareth “family” has held together with remarkable strength and purpose, buoying us in these difficult times.
Of course, strength and purpose are hallmarks of the Nazareth experience. Since its founding in 1924, Nazareth has left its mark on countless individuals. First and foremost, Nazareth transforms its students, who learn to solve problems, interpret information, and defend evidence. What better foundation could there be for personal and professional success? And then our students go out into the world and touch lives everywhere—as teachers, as health care providers, and as mainstays of the r York, Washington, London, or Nairobi, are ready for the bigger world, drawing on the personal growth they have achieved here at Nazareth. Knowing who we are and what we have to do, we are meeting our goals. The Integrated Center for Math & Science—Nazareth’s most ambitious venture in a generation—is on its way to becoming a reality. Here, in state-of-the-art facilities, our future teachers and health care professionals will acquire the kind of hands-on, collaborative, interdisciplinary education that will hold them in good stead over the course of their careers. Our graduates will emerge from Nazareth ready to give back to the community that has loyally supported them. In times of stress, such as we are living through, some people—and some institutions—simply fail to thrive. At Nazareth, we view such periods as a time to husband our resources and redouble our efforts. Our planning is prudent, but our aspirations remain confident. With a community such as ours, there is no reason to feel otherwise. Thank you for being part of us. With best wishes,
Judy Wilmot Linehan ‘76 Chairman, Nazareth College Board of Trustees

Message from the President
Dear Nazareth friends,
A
t Nazareth, we are fortunate to have people who dream large and back up their aspirations with talents, skills, and dedication. As you read on in this report, you will meet some of these people—teachers who inspire, students who soar, trustees and other individuals who help realize a vision, and women and men who collaborate to help us reach those dreams. These are the people who enabled us to renovate the Arts Center to become the premier arts venue in the greater Rochester area. This multi-million dollar project was finished on time and on budget, paid for entirely by dedicated funds so that the College would not incur debt. Over the last year, audiences have flocked to the center for performances by world-class artists and companies and have rejoiced in seeing the cultural life of our city so enriched. This past summer we hosted the first annual Summer Dance Festival that attracted 6,000 people to the weeklong events. We also hosted our first Interfaith Understanding Conference, which brought to campus 400 participants from throughout the U.S. and Canada to discuss ways to improve communication among people from different faith groups as well as those with no religious affiliation. It was the only such national conference to include people from across generations, focusing on the next generations of leaders. During the year we established the Center for Civic Engagement, with the mission to provide
strategic direction, advocacy, resource development, and integration to the rich and varied programs that connect the College to its surrounding communities. I am also pleased to report that we are seeing substantial progress on our integrated math and science center. This board-approved initiative is an important part of our plan to train the nation’s future teachers and allied health professionals, and it is a confirmation of Nazareth’s renowned commitment to education and health and human services. Our commitment can be seen as well in many other developments this year. The faculty has done impressive work on the core curriculum. We have introduced new state-approved programs such as majors in graphics/illustration, women and gender studies, and marketing, a master’s degree in accounting, and a master’s degree in American studies with the University of Pannonia in Veszprém, Hungary. Dreaming big is demanding business and requires a collective effort. You have been an important part of that effort. Your support has been critical in enabling us to accomplish these and other achievements. Nazareth College could not be what it is today without your assistance, and for that I thank you. Sincerely,
Daan Braveman

T
he true gift of a college education is that it offers learners the opportunity to search, explore, experiment, and grow. David Jablonski ’10 has made great use of this gift. Named a recipient of a 2009–10 Undergraduate Junior Fulbright Award, Jablonski will spend the next year teaching English in a high school in Germany, capitalizing on the outstanding preparation he has received at Nazareth College. A triple major in German, economics, and international relations, Jablonski has enjoyed two study abroad experiences, in Berlin and Israel. He intends to pursue a career in diplomacy, working either with the foreign service or with an organization like the United Nations or UNESCO. Eventually, he hopes to pursue a doctorate. Immersing himself in many aspects of campus life, Jablonski has developed important life skills at Nazareth. He has served as a student leader with the Undergraduate Association, has worked as a residential assistant with the College’s Center for International Education, has been vice president of the International Club, and has even found the time to sing in choir, act in campus theatre productions, and join a community service trip to post-Katrina New Orleans. “I really feel that I’ve become something of a Renaissance man at Nazareth,” he says. Perhaps the most significant aspect of Jablonski’s preparation has been the broad foundation of learning he has put into place here. “One of Nazareth’s greatest strengths is that it’s a liberal arts institution,” he says. “It hasn’t set me up with a linear way of thinking. I’ve roomed with business majors and linguists. I have so many friends from other departments and have had so much exposure to different approaches to problem solving. At Nazareth, I always feel that I live it as I learn it.”

In order to make valuable connections between classroom learning and real world experiences, Hallahan takes his students to ponds and bogs for close observation.

r. William Hallahan’s love for biology started early in life. “My parents were both interested in nature,” says Hallahan, “and they would always bring home things from the natural world for us to examine.” Hallahan, who has taught biology at Nazareth College for more than 30 years, similarly brings the natural world into his classroom…and brings his classes into the natural world. “Students need to get out into nature in order to understand how it works, to physically touch and smell biology,” he says. “I want them to learn the names of common species that they see around them and often take for granted.”
time in the rain forest and studying coral reef biology,” he says.
During his years at Nazareth, Hallahan has connected with and influenced countless students. One of them, Jeanne Kaidy ’99G, has herself gone on to a distinguished teaching career, capped this year when she was chosen as one of only 103 teachers from across the nation to receive the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. “Professor Hallahan’s class was so interesting,” Kaidy recalls. “He always had some odd thing to show us—a bone, a skull. His explanations and examples fostered an understanding of evolution and connected us to the natural world.”
Emulating her mentor’s approach, Kaidy now takes her environmental science class from McQuaid Jesuit High School in Rochester on white-water rafting trips, excursions to ponds and bogs, and other places where one can connect to the natural world. “I’ve always loved nature,” says Kaidy, “and one reason I became a teacher is to share what I see as wonderful and awe-inspiring with my students.”

ochester is the proud home of world-class performing arts companies like Rochester City Ballet and Garth Fagan Dance, but it had long lacked a high-quality, midsized theatre in which to showcase them. Many thought it would be necessary to build a major new theatre to address this need, but such a venture would have been a daunting proposition in today’s economy. Coming up with a solution to this problem posed a challenge, but Rob Sands, CEO of Constellation Brands, the world’s largest wine company, is a man who enjoys challenges. “Building a new theater was clearly going to be very expensive,” says Sands. “Nazareth had a very strong midsized theater in a good, accessible location. We realized that we could renovate that theatre at a fairly reasonable cost and make the Nazareth College Arts Center into a premier destination for the performing arts.” A powerful alliance between Nazareth, the government, and private leaders like Rob Sands and his wife
Nancy, the Wegman Family Foundation, and John and Jayne Summers helped turn Rob Sands’s vision into a reality. “The community effort was so important,” says Nancy Sands, a Nazareth College board member and chair of the Rochester City Ballet. “When potential donors see that the people attached to a project have a history of getting things done, it lends enormous credibility.” Now, with the renovation of the Nazareth College Arts Center completed, Rochester can boast a midsized theatre with outstanding technical features. The center not only serves professional troupes; it is also a superb learning facility for the Nazareth College theatre arts department, and its programming ranked sixth in 2009 by Princeton Review among all such programs in the nation, in league with schools like Yale and Vassar. “Challenges are always best addressed on a case-bycase basis, with good analytical problem solving,” says Rob Sands. “We thought we could do this, and so we did.”

innovation 10
A
college such as Nazareth, founded by Catholic nuns with a Jewish president and a Muslim imam running an interfaith center, bespeaks the kind of unorthodox approach that sets the stage for innovative ideas. Brian Hickey, executive vice president at M & T Bank and a Nazareth trustee, had just such an idea last year and brought it to fruition. Hickey had been long troubled by the divisiveness that is too often a byproduct of religion in the world today. “I thought we had a unique environment at Nazareth,” he says, “and so I thought to myself, ‘Wouldn’t it be something if Rochester and Nazareth would become nationally and maybe even internationally known for its interfaith initiatives?’” Hickey enlisted his wife Jean and President Daan Braveman in support of his vision of a major interfaith conference, and the idea took hold. Of course, innovation must always be accompanied by application, and so Hickey set to work, gaining support for the conference among leaders in the Rochester
business community. “People believed in what we were trying to accomplish,” Hickey says. “Gaining an awareness of Rochester’s interfaith history was compelling to them. And I think interfaith dialogue and understanding—people and communities working together— is always good for business.” Hickey and his colleagues raised $160,000 for the first Interfaith Understanding Conference, held April 11–13 at Nazareth College. More than 400 people from throughout the United States and Canada assembled to hear world-renowned spiritual leaders and to discuss best practices to promote interfaith dialogue. “I went in as a neophyte in the area of religious collaboration, but the conference affirmed my belief that mankind really can solve this problem,” says Hickey. The experience also validated his feeling that Nazareth is very much the right place to find such solutions. “I view Nazareth College as transformative,” he says. “In order to have innovation you need the kind of acceptance and openness that fosters creativity and collaboration. Nazareth is a model of such things.”
Vision is not enough, it must be combined with venture. — Vaclav Hável, Czech Republic president and playwright (b. 1936)

teve Gennarino suffered a stroke when he was 61, which compromised his ability to articulate ideas and comprehend spoken or written language. Fortunately, he has found a loyal caregiver in his sister Barb, with whom he lives, and he has been able to take advantage of Nazareth College’s aphasia clinic, established in 1992 with the mission of providing affordable speech language therapy for individuals with aphasia. “If not for Nazareth’s clinic, Steve wouldn’t have the speech therapy he needs. The aphasia clinic is a fantastic opportunity to continue therapy,” says Barb Gennarino, who also values the social contacts that are made at the clinic. “Lots of times the thing we look forward to most during the week is coming to the clinic,” she says. Cameron McCurty ‘06, ‘11G, who was Steve Gennarino’s student clinician during the 2009–10 school year, confirms the feeling of community that can be found at the aphasia clinic. “Without the clinic, many of our
patients would be home with a spouse or alone,” says McCurty. “Social bonds form at the clinic. Patients meet people with similar experiences and develop friendships they wouldn’t have otherwise made.” McCurty started working with Gennarino in January, helping him with his goal of self-advocating. Together, they have found ways to allow Gennarino to express himself about his condition, how it affects him, and how people can better communicate with those who have aphasia. This collaboration has been transformative for them both. Gennarino has moved along the continuum of recovery, recently reaching a goal he had set of ordering for himself in a restaurant. McCurty moved onto a whole new career path. “I found my passion working with aphasia,” says McCurty. “All my supervisors say that I’m made for this, and this has laid the foundation for me to be able to work in a hospital or clinic with clients like Steve. It’s a joy to work with him—the best clinical experience I could have had.”

Message from the Chief Financial Officer
D
Dear Friends, uring these challenging economic times, it is important to keep up to date on the performance of the College’s endowment fund.
Market Value The fund stands at $48.7 million as of the College’s fiscal year end of June 30, 2010. This amount includes approximately $27.9 million of contributed value (the historical dollar amounts that donors have provided over the years) and approximately $20.8 million of accumulated investment gains. In 1995, we had about $21 million of contributed value and another $7 million or so of market appreciation, for a total of $28 million. We now have $27.9 million of contributed value and a total market value of $48.7 million, so we’ve earned close to $14 million in gains over those fifteen years. Investment Performance The endowment fund is invested on a pooled basis (all the funds are grouped together). The portfolio is overseen by the investment committee of the board of trustees. We retain an investment advisor who assists us in selecting individual firms to manage various pieces of the portfolio, which are invested in stocks, bonds, and other asset categories. The chart below displays our investment performance year by year during the past decade. We were doing very well in 2004 through 2007, and then the economic environment began to deteriorate, resulting in a modest loss in the year ending in June 2008, and a much more significant loss in the year ending in June 2009. Our performance was consistent with that of other funds of similar sizes managed by other institutions. This year, the year ending June 2010, we earned a positive 12.1% on the portfolio, which exceeds the returns of some of the largest endowments that have been announced to date.

Impact on Allowable Spending We have a total return spending policy, which essentially means we take a fixed percentage (approximately 5.4%) of the average market value of the fund over 12 quarters, and that’s how much we spend on operations in any given year. Income and gains in excess of that amount are retained in the portfolio to protect against years when the earnings are less than the required spending amount. We use the average of 12 quarters to smooth out any dramatic highs and lows, so it takes a full three years for significant swings (up or down) to work their way into our operating budget. In our case, about half of the earnings are restricted (mainly to scholarships) and about half is unrestricted, and supports our overall operating budget. In the current year’s budget, we have a total of approximately $2.9 million (FY11) available for spending, of which $1.1 million is restricted by the donors to particular purposes and the remaining $1.8 million supports our overall operating budget. Donor-restricted funds include scholarship funds supporting a wide variety of student needs, endowed professorships that help to support excellence in particular disciplines, and funds dedicated to specific needs such as library acquisitions and technology innovations. For the next two years, we will experience a reduction in funds available for both restricted and unrestricted purposes, as the negative performance of FY08 and FY09 work their way into the calculation. The improved performance in FY10 (and hopefully beyond) will begin to impact the calculated spending beginning next year, and we are hopeful that our investment performance will continue to improve (along with the entire economy) and the allowable spending distribution will begin to go upward again in a few years. The endowment distribution from both restricted funds and unrestricted funds plays an important role in helping the College to achieve its educational objectives while striving to control the annual tuition and fees that we need to charge our students. If these endowment fund spending amounts were not available, we would have to either reduce our programs or increase the costs to our students and families. We hope that you find this endowment update helpful. Should you have an interest in speaking with one of our development officers about how you might explore establishing a new endowment or adding to an existing fund, please contact Director of Development Peggy Martin at 585-389-2401 or at mmartin0@naz.edu. Sincerely, Margaret Cass Ferber
Vice President for Finance and Treasurer

Nazareth College Mission and Vision Statements
Statement on Respect and Diversity
The mission of Nazareth College is to provide a learning community that educates students in the liberal arts, sciences, visual and performing arts, and professional fields, fostering commitment to a life informed by intellectual, ethical, spiritual, and aesthetic values; to develop skills necessary for the pursuit of meaningful careers; and to inspire dedication to the ideal of service to their communities. Nazareth seeks students who want to make a difference in their own world and the world around them, and encourages them to develop the understanding, commitment, and confidence to lead fully informed and actively engaged lives.
We, the Nazareth community, embrace both respect for the person and freedom of speech. The College promotes civility and denounces acts of hatred or intolerance. The free exchange of ideas is possible only when concepts, values, and viewpoints can be expressed and challenged in a manner that is neither threatening nor demeaning. It is the policy of Nazareth College, in keeping with its efforts to foster a community in which the diversity of all members is respected, not to discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national or ethnic origin, sex, age, marital or veteran status, disability, carrier status, genetic predisposition, or any other protected status. Respect for the dignity of all peoples is an essential part of the College’s tradition and mission, and its vision for the future.
The vision of Nazareth College is to be nationally and internationally recognized as a comprehensive educational institution which provides its students with transformational experiences and integrates liberal arts, sciences, visual and performing arts, and professional education at the undergraduate and graduate levels and which places special value on student success, diversity, inclusion, civic engagement, and making a difference in local and global communities.
