Annual Report
A Message from the President I became president of Prescott College in the middle of the 2014–15 school year following the capable leadership of President John Van Domelen. I’m thankful you and the Board of Trustees chose me to lead this assembly of exceptionally dedicated, smart, and passionate people. Much of the credit for what we achieved this past year is the result of John’s leadership. The landscape of higher education is going through unprecedented change as a result of digital technology, rising costs, rising student debt, and a changing regulatory environment. At Prescott College we are at a vital turning point in our history, one that will determine whether we can adapt and thrive, or be overwhelmed by this tidal wave of change. Our mission is clear and compelling, and more relevant than ever. I’m committed, as are the good people who show up to work on (and off) campus every day, to charting a course for continued success. During this past year, we achieved several important goals that lay a critical foundation for future growth. Financially, we ended the fiscal year solidly in the black. We exceeded our Annual Fund goal, modest though it was, and little by little, our endowment continues to grow. Academically, we launched a comprehensive restructuring of our academic degrees, curriculum, and delivery. We’re calling it the “One College” initiative. That’s not just a label for a nice idea. It’s something we are doing, and we are making greater strides to unify our faculty and break down barriers between delivery models and degree levels than ever before. This is a multi-year effort, but one that is already providing much needed efficiencies in how we deliver our transformative education. All that said, we have much work to do. First, we need to increase enrollment of new students. Second, we need to increase private philanthropy to supplement tuition revenue. All of our alumni and friends can help with both. Prescott College alumni, faculty, staff, and volunteers are the most effective student recruiters we have.Your endorsement is more powerful than anything we can do from here. Please talk about the College with friends, family, and colleagues at work. If any of them or their children are considering college, encourage them to go to our website for more information. We also need financial support, especially from our alumni.Your gift right now does double duty. Many foundations and individuals want to know the percentage of alumni who support a college before they will even consider making a gift. Right now our alumni participation rate is low. Even if you can only afford a modest gift, it all helps increase the percentage of alumni participation, which in turn increases our ability to secure additional funding from others for our students. This report contains some of the facts and figures of our financial condition, but more than that, I wanted it to communicate some of the amazing things our students do when they are here. The hands-on learning through experiential problem solving in the real world that students receive at Prescott College is unique and second to none. Our education gives students the foundation to think critically and act ethically in their personal and professional lives. I’ve heard it said many times, and I know it’s true: a Prescott College education is transformative. Thank you for your continued support in transforming the lives of our students. Onward and upward!

Prescott College Cycling Prescott College Cycling has taken off in the past year, progressing from a start-up student club in 2013–14 to a USA Cycling Division II Varsity Collegiate Cycling Team in 2014–15. During this past school year, the team sent racers to many of the collegiate events in the Southwest conference (Arizona, New Mexico, and Southern California) including the fall mountain bike, winter cyclocross, and spring road seasons, where we were Division II Conference Champions in all three disciplines. Environmental Studies faculty member and Salsa Cycles-sponsored competitive rider Kurt Refsnider agreed to take on coaching the competitive side of PC Cycling as part of his workload in the spring of 2015. He’s been cycling competitively since before high school; he raced for the University of Wisconsin and Colorado collegiate cycling teams, medaled at the Collegiate National Championships, and has won some of the longest endurance mountain bike races in the country. “With my experience and a desire to help develop riders, it only made sense for me to step into the role of PC Cycling Coach,” he says. This role includes coaching riders, helping riders put together training plans, traveling to many of the race weekends, recruiting, and right now, developing a vision and structure for PC Cycling moving forward. As you might expect from Prescott College students, the club has an interest in activism and building community. They hosted a bike safety event in town following the tragic loss of recent PC grad Amber “Cricket” Harrington ’14 in January, volunteered for a trail work day with the Prescott National Forest, and successfully challenged the promoter of the Whiskey Off-Road—one of the largest mountain bike races in the country that takes place right here in Prescott—to drop the controversial international copper mining corporation HudBay as an event sponsor. For fall 2015 the team has a core group of ten-plus students racing. This includes three first-year students, two of who mentioned PC Cycling as something they considered when deciding to attend to PC. With Prescott College officially sponsoring the national high school mountain bike racing league (National Interscholastic Cycling Association, or NICA), we are poised well to draw from an increasing pool of high school mountain bike racers. NICA currently has 14 state leagues across the country (including Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California), and they are adding two to three new state leagues each year. “We intend to recruit during at least four different NICA races this fall in Arizona, Utah, and Colorado (in addition to one race we were present at in California last spring). “I see PC Cycling as an important component to the opportunities that the College provides to students, an additional way the school can get its name out to potentially new audiences, and a key component in an effort to continually stretch ourselves as a community,” Refsnider says. “It will certainly take a couple years for our cycling program to grow and develop a reputation, but progress during the first year is quite encouraging!”

A Degree in Demand The most structured degree program offered at Prescott College also happens to be its most popular. A Master of Science in Counseling degree is the most in-demand program the school has. Has been for years. This, according to Provost Paul Burkhardt, probably has a lot to do with the fact that it leads to licensure in a profession with a clear demand in the job market. “It also speaks to our mission on a really personal level, right?” Burkhardt says. “It’s ‘self-fulfillment through service to others.’ People helping people.” The school recently created a Master of Science in Counseling degree to replace the popular Master of Arts degree, adopting a science-practitioner model that incorporates evidence-based practices and better reflects the professional research-based coursework and focus on the social sciences that were already part of the curriculum. Prescott College, true to its essence, still offers alternative modality concentrations found at few other institutions, such as Equine-Assisted Mental Health, Adventure-based Psychotherapy, EcoTherapy, Somatic Psychology, and Expressive Arts Therapy, alongside more standard specializations: Clinical Mental Health, Couple and Family Therapy, Addiction, Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling, and School Counseling. By all accounts, it’s working. PC counseling students have a 100-percent pass rate on the National Counselor Exam for licensing, while the national average stands at about 82 percent. “We’ve been working on CACREP accreditation [Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs] for the past couple of years and are just about ready to submit our application this fall,” says Counseling Program Chair Joseph Piccari. “The combination of our unique pedagogy, alternative modalities, and CACREP curricula will make our program incredibly appealing to people seeking licensure.” Because of the success of the master’s degree, there are plans to develop accelerated pathways into the program from the undergraduate level. Students would first receive a highly self-directed Liberal Arts bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Human Development, and Counseling and then move seamlessly into the more structured master’s program. Coursework in the senior year of their bachelor’s degree

would count as the first year of their master’s degree. There’s also talk of offering a doctoral-level degree in Counselor Education – an Ed.D. “There’s a fine balance between following where the demand is in the market and making sure we stay true to the essence of Prescott College, especially with a highly regulated and structured area of study like counseling,” says Burkhardt. “I think we’re doing a fine job of keeping our experiential learning at the center of everything, making available specializations in unconventional modalities, and still providing a rigorous education.” If you or someone you know is interested in this degree program, contact the Admissions Office at (877) 350-2100 or admissions@prescott.edu.
Camp Courage Each year for the past five years the Arizona Burn Foundation has contracted Prescott College’s Centaur Leadership Services (CLS) program to provide therapeutic equine experiences for their weeklong Camp Courage in Prescott. Approximately 80 youth burn survivors from around the state attend this free camp that includes horseback riding, mountain biking, fishing, swimming, arts & crafts, tie dye, high ropes, rappelling, and more, all in a therapeutic setting created to address the emotional needs of children who have suffered severe burn injuries. Along with CLS Director Paul Smith Ph.D. ’12 and alumna Tamera Clause M.A. ’14, six graduate students in the Master of Science in Counseling Equine-Assisted Mental Health concentration volunteered this past June for seven days, introducing the kids to basic horsemanship and grooming, helping them lead horses through obstacle courses, and facilitating trail rides. “A lot of the same kids come back year after year. You get to know them and they start to build skills,” says Paul. “The new kids get more of an introduction and we ask them to just be curious about and connect with the horses. They do some simple activities, such as grooming and leading, that allow them to make a connection with something bigger than themselves and still feel safe.” It’s not therapy; however, it is a highly therapeutic environment. After making introductions, the kids begin leading the horses through obstacle courses and shared games.
“While they assist the horses we ask them about what obstacles they have in their own lives, who helps them around their obstacles, and the ways they’ve found to get around them,” Paul explains. Once they’ve been in a supportive, positive environment with the animals and practiced showing up, being fully present and safe, the kids do mounted work, and most of them choose to head out on trail rides. “It builds confidence,” Paul adds. “They learn how to be in relationship with something that could be really scary. We help them understand that they don’t need to control the horse as much as connect with and be sensitive to its needs in relation to their own. It is wonderful to watch the ways in which the kids start to support each other through the process.” What our graduate students get is a real-world, hands-on opportunity to engage with a specialized population, provide service that’s appropriate to that group, and practice the facilitation skills they’ve been studying through coursework. In such a specialized field, these skills are essential. “So many of our grads have ended up being leaders in this field,” Paul says. He attributes this to the experiential opportunities like Camp Courage that they get throughout their education at Prescott College.

Migration: Lanscapes of Mobility, Containment, and Resiliency Each year for the past seven years Prescott College undergraduates have helped plan and participate in an intensive, one-day academic conference focused on topics that combine social and environmental justice in an interdisciplinary format.
There is always an expert keynote speaker who attends the student sessions before making his or her own presentation at the end of the day. This year the conference hosted border militarization expert and PC grad Todd Miller ’12.
The point is to include courses from a variety of disciplines and challenge the students to draw connections between what they are studying and a central theme, usually a major global issue. Themes have typically been broad—like climate change or wealth inequality—but have also been as specific as “the prison industrial complex.” This past year’s conference focused on migration.
“The students get a lot out of interacting with the experts and making those networking connections with professionals,” Hammer says. “They get a lot out of the whole experience.” The benefits, according to her, are many.
From the April 2015 call for presentations: The dynamics of mobility and containment shape our world in powerful ways. While some people, plants, animals, water, soil, ideas, technologies, information, languages, cultures, and social systems move across vast distances, others remain walled in, dammed up, fenced out, sheltered, preserved, caged, or otherwise contained. This conference explores the ways complex legacies and dynamics of mobility and containment shape our thoughts, life chances, and possibilities for resilient social transformation. “So if we have students in a women’s studies class, they might decide that they want to do some research and give a talk on gender violence during migration across the U.S.-Mexico border, or about how immigration laws impact mothers,” says faculty member Zoe Hammer, who leads the effort to pull together the conference. “Students in an environmental studies class, on another hand, might choose to do some research on the ecological impacts of migration on the desert throughout the Arizona–Sonora borderlands.” Each year 30 to 60 students submit proposals for ten-minute talks about an aspect of what they are studying and how it relates to the central theme. Faculty then selects proposals and groups them in panels of three—always from three different courses. At the conference each student is allowed to present their perspective, and then faculty and grad students act as moderators, facilitating a discussion among the panelists and with the audience.

“Academic conferences are an important place in our culture for knowledge production and dissemination. Our students get exposed to this process on a very small, but effective, scale. The ones who present can put the experience on their resume. Plus there’s the critical thinking and discussions that take place that build on what they’ve already been getting throughout their courses.” While many of the students are nervous about submitting their ideas for review and then presenting them to a room full of peers and experts, Hammer has witnessed an impressive level of analysis. She feels the deep confidence they gain once they come through the experience is invaluable.

Prescott College Annual Report 2014-2015
What Have We Done for You Lately?
Enough time has passed since you or a loved one ventured out on orientation, got course credit for real-world social activism, or worked with a faculty member who expanded your perspective on the world around you. It’s easy to get caught up in the here and now and forget what brought us to the place were are in; the transformations we went through; the understanding we now possess. So when you’re thinking about giving us a gift and ask, “What has PC done for me lately?” we thought there should be an answer. Prescott College’s annual giving societies began several years ago to help foster a tradition of philanthropy by recognizing our generous supporters. Each level is named to honor the people, history, and environments associated with the College. More recently we instituted a set of lifetime giving societies to recognize cumulative support for our worthwhile mission. Check out the descriptions of each society here: http://www.prescott.edu/give/donor-recognition/index.php. Sure, astutely named giving societies are nice—but what exactly are you getting in return for your giving? While we hope the warm glow of philanthropic endeavor and the knowledge you are fostering the journey of students who will go on to make a living making a difference in our world is enough, there are some things our partners get with investing in PC. ALL donors receive a tax receipt thank you letter from the Advancement Office and are listed in our Honor Roll of Donors, which appears in Transitions magazine, Ecos e-newsletter, our Annual Report, and on the electronic display in the front hall of our administrative building at 220 Grove Avenue. SPECIAL notation will be given in next year’s Annual Report to anyone who increases their year-over-year total giving and moves up giving society levels. ALUMNI who give $50 or more to the Annual Fund receive a license plate frame that boasts to the world, “I went to Prescott College.” ANYONE who gives $66 or more to the Annual Fund starting this fall will receive a leather luggage tag with the phrase, “Life is a journey, not a destination,” to use on the many trips we know our globetrotting friends and alumni take. LARGE gifts of $2,500 (cost to attend PC in 1966 – our inaugural year) or more to the Annual Fund gain donors entry into the 1966 Society, complete with a displayable certificate of recognition and a chic lapel pin. SUSTAINERS who give $10 or more on a monthly basis will be taken off general mail and email solicitation lists this year. With the exception of the Arizona Gives Day Cowboy Dollar Drive, we won’t bother you!!! Prescott College will be here as long as we have enough students and investors to ensure our existence is possible. We hope that what we have done for you and your loved ones, what we will do for you, along with what we still do for our students each and every day is enough to inspire the increased attendance and giving we so urgently need.

A “Culture of Philanthropy” In this context, culture is defined as an organization’s core values, beliefs, and behavior norms. The word philanthropy comes from the Greek words philos, meaning loving, and anthropos, meaning humankind; combined, these roots express “love of humanity.” We pride ourselves on maintaining ideals of social and environmental resiliency, expressing our love for all who inhabit this earth, human or “other,” through conservation, community and political action, volunteerism, and so much more. To be a part of Prescott College is to understand, thrive in, and enhance our world community and environment. We regard learning as a continuing process and strive to provide an education that will enable students to live productive lives while achieving balance between self-fulfillment and service to others.
Thank you for investing in Prescott College and joining us in our mission to change the world for the better!
