Keeping the faith

By Michael Mace, President Rocky Mountain College

n “Pathways to the Present,” published in 2007, Dr. Lawrence F. Small invokes Rocky Mountain College's most enduring attribute: “Beyond the buildings, old and new, and the beautiful campus on Poly Drive, the College is founded in that firm feeling of identity which is felt by trustees, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and supporters.”

Over the years, RMC has experienced its share of controversy; the College’s history is rife with rumors, rebellions, and reversals of fortune. Dr. Arthur H. DeRosier, Jr., one of the College’s most beloved past presidents, once wrote that Rocky “has looked death in the face more times than a (PLEASE

cat and somehow came away bloodied but alive to fight another day.” This, I contend, is a reflection of the College’s strong sense of purpose and identity, which has endured for the past 132 years, and which will not be easily deterred.

When I was elected to the presidency of Rocky Mountain College in October 2005, I wanted to continue in the spirit of Dr. DeRosier’s and Dr. Small’s vision. I hoped to affirm their faith in me as Rocky Mountain College Gift Report

the College’s next president. To that end, with the help of a committed Board of Trustees, a strong cabinet, a dedicated faculty, and a talented staff, we focused on the challenges presented to us, and we have not let adversity deter us. Our Board of Trustees, the faculty and staff, our alumni and friends, and the students are all participants in our goals and accomplishments, and we work well together in the esprit de corps that has always characterized this college community.

Rocky Mountain College is definitely alive and well.

One of our greatest accomplishments to date has been the College’s aggressive financial turn-around during the past four years.

Between 2005 and 2009, we have operated in the black, total debt has been reduced by $1.4 million, investments increased by $4.5 million, and net assets increased by 21 percent.

Additionally, through the generous support of our donors, a $2 million line of credit was paid off over Rocky Mountain College Gift Report

this period, along with debt on the College’s aviation fleet.

Even when the recession took its toll on nearly everyone’s investments, Rocky Mountain College’s alumni showed their support and increased their donations. The endowment grew from $17 million to $31 million, and through prudent investment management by the trustee investment committee, we kept losses to a minimum during the stock market debacle, settling the endowment to just over $25 million during the economic downturn.

A second major accomplishment has been the restructuring of Rocky’s Master of Physician Assistant Studies (PA) program. Under new, invigorated leadership by Dr. Robert Wilmouth, this program’s mission is to have graduates who are both professional and safe providers. They will be the solution to healthcare reform. The program is commited to providing high quality education with patient safety as the top priority. For the past two years, RMC’s physician assistant students have tested in the top 10 percent in the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination.

Other enhancements to Rocky’s educational offerings include our new Master of Educational Leadership, which was recently commended by Montana’s Office of Public Instruction as “a model for the state and region,” and a newly-developed undergraduate degree which merges environmental studies and business management.

We added a new minor for K-12 education majors that provides our education students with an additional endorsement to become a K-12 Reading Specialist. The reading minor was created to provide our students with increased knowledge and skills in the area of reading due to the federal accountability measures outlined in No Child Left Behind legislation. We felt this would give our students an added advantage in competing for teaching jobs.

Last September, Rocky’s aviation program became one of only 29 aviation programs worldwide accredited by the Aviation Accreditation Board International.

The aviation program was also chosen for a U.S. Commerce Association award recognizing its excellence among flight schools nationwide.

graduation. The job placement rate for most majors, including aviation students, is currently 100 percent. The acceptance rate for Rocky’s medical school applicants is an impressive 88 percent.

The Rocky community is continuing to grow and thrive. A strategic enrollment and retention strategy was developed in partnership with the consulting (PLEASE

team of Noel-Levitz; as a result, freshmen and transfer student enrollment increased 36 percent in the fall of 2008 and 59 percent in the fall of 2009.

Further, over the past four years, our student retention rate has improved by 6 percent. By improving retention, we not only ensure that our students continue to achieve their educational goals, but we also improve the College’s operating budget; every 2 percent improvement in retention has increased Rocky’s cash flow by approximately $500,000.

In a world where the cost of higher education has increased, and even while the net revenue for an RMC student rose from a range of $7,000 to $10,000 per year, we were able to lower out-of-pocket costs for students by 11 percent.

We now have our sights set on expanding and improving the Bair Science Center, and with continued support of our donors and friends, we hope to have this accomplished within the next few years.

Icing on the cake during this transitional time was a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) championship by the men’s basketball team.

Rocky has had national championships and champions before, in skiing and in golf, but the timely winning of the national basketball championship reverberated throughout the state and region as a clear reflection of Rocky Mountain College Gift Report

what our little school’s determination and teamwork can accomplish.

The fiscal and physical improvements at Rocky reflect our ongoing commitment to enrich the educational opportunities for students, while continuing to retain and reward some of the finest faculty and staff in the region. New buildings, new resources, new colleagues, new students, and new opportunities -- as our provost Anthony Piltz said last fall as he addressed the faculty, “Good things are happening at Rocky Mountain College.”

Your steadfast support is phenomenal. In the last 60

months, a total of $22,863,216.85 has been raised for the endowment, new buildings, and deferred maintenance. That is a singularly extraordinary sign of good health for this institution.

What matters most, when facing adversity, are patience, trust, and faith in the system. Rocky is a wonderful place to work and to learn; that hasn't changed in the past 132 years, and in that spirit and tradition, I will continue to do my best to serve and to honor the vision and hope of the many great leaders who have come before me. I depend on you to help me and I am grateful for your contributions to our students and for the future.

Campaign

for a new natural Science Facility

A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN by Rocky Mountain College is underway to build a NEW NATURAL SCIENCE COMPLEX worthy of the progressive history of the College to meet future demands in natural sciences.

This new LEED SILVER-CERTIFIED COMPLEX (depicted in architect’s drawing to the right) will total 38,995 square feet of renovation and new construction. This will add 12,640 square feet to the existing Bair Science Center.

The complex will feature CLASSROOMS AND LABS FOR SEPARATE DISCIPLINES: chemistry, geology, environmental science, and physics. There will be a cadaver lab, unique to Rocky Mountain College, which provides our pre-med students with a decided advantage in medical school. There will be 14 faculty offices, the MORLEDGE FAMILY STUDENT LOUNGE, and 15 teaching and research labs.

The new natural science complex will create new laboratories specific to each academic discipline in natural sciences, new classrooms and faculty offices, and will be enhanced by a beautiful student lounge. In addition, part of the complex will be devoted to a wonderful marriage of arts and sciences, called the Russell Chatham Fine Art Pavilion (depicted in the architect drawings, left, above and below). The pavilion was made possible when the College received a remarkable collection of Russell Chatham artist proof lithographs as a gift from Helori Graff, owner and president of Artcraft Printers. The collection will grace the main entrance of the complex.

Forward for Arts & Sciences We are committed to a capital campaign that will provide a long overdue renovation and expansion of our existing science facilities. We have many more students pursuing degrees in biology, chemistry, mathematics, environmental management and policy, and pre-med which requires that we invest in more modern classrooms, laboratories, and study rooms. Research opportunities will find a home in new research labs. The spacious complex will be an exceptional addition to the campus and the community.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss more fully the plan to create this new natural science complex. Please feel free to call or email the President’s Office for more information.
