Drake University Annual Report 2004/2005

DRAKE UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT

2004/2005

DRAKE UNIVERSITY HAS JUST COMPLETED A YEAR OF WHICH WE ARE VERY PROUD, and I am happy for the opportunity to share with you some of the Drake community’s accomplishments. At the same time, rather than provide solely the one-year retrospective of a typical annual report, I’d like to take a look at the bigger picture, focusing as well on the challenges that we must continue to address if we are to achieve our vision for Drake’s future. First, a recap of some of the highlights of the past year: Fiscal Health: After more than a decade of budgetary challenges, we finished the past fiscal year in the black with an appropriate level of payout from the endowment — the consequences of the hard work by faculty, staff, students and the Board of Trustees during Program Review, increased enrollments, and a culture of fiscal responsibility at all levels. This PRESIDENT doesn’t mean that Drake has enough money to do what we DAVID M. MAXWELL aspire to do (universities rarely do!), but it means that we have a budget with integrity that is focused on the University’s strategic priorities.

President’s Report

Faculty/Staff salaries: At the same time, in the past three years we have added nearly

$5.5 million in new money into the compensation budget to ensure that faculty/staff salaries are competitive and equitable, and that we remain able to attract and retain the very best.

Enrollments: In spite of a downward trend in the number of high school graduates in most of our core recruitment area, our undergraduate enrollments continue to grow — last year’s entering first-year class was the second-largest in a decade. Most encouraging is that our retention rate has increased to 86 percent, which is extremely high. Law school applications and enrollments last year were particularly strong as well.

International initiatives: Adding to our existing international relationships in France and Germany, there have been some exciting developments with universities in Hebei Province in China and — most recently — with Southwest University of Law & Politics in Chongqing. This past year, nine recent Drake graduates taught English in Hebei, and six faculty members spent time there in early summer in consultation with Chinese colleagues.

Diversity: We continue to make slow but steady progress on our all-important diversity

goals: increasing the diversity of the campus population; ensuring that Drake is hospitable to a diverse population; and ensuring that issues of difference are appropriately addressed in the curriculum. There’s still much work to be done, but the progress is palpable.

Campus Master Plan: In June, the Board of Trustees approved the new Campus Master Plan, outlining plans for the campus physical plant and the immediate environs (it’s available by clicking on the information tab at: www.drake.edu/busfin/.) We’re excited about its focus and direction, and plan to be as aggressive as resources permit in its implementation.

1881 1882 1883 1884 1885 1886

2004/2005 Classrooms/Laboratories: One of our highest institutional priorities is to ensure that we have 21st century learning spaces to support the work of our faculty and students.

While there is much to do ahead of us, we’ve taken an important step this past summer with 10 classroom renovations spread among several buildings on campus. In addition, we’ve committed $3 million for a renovation of the first floor of Olin Hall (which includes 3 teaching labs) — a project that we hope will be completed over the next 18 months.

Drake Stadium: The Stadium renovation is on schedule, and will be completed well in time for next year’s 100th Anniversary of the Drake Relays. You can see the progress on the Webcam at www.drake.edu/athletics.

Athletics: This year saw some impressive performances by athletic teams, both in competition and in the classroom (including a conference champion football team with a team GPA above 3.0, a men’s cross country team with the 7th highest GPA in the country, and women’s tennis and soccer teams that won the regular season title). All told, 64 percent of our student-athletes had a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Five athletes achieved Academic AllAmerican status, while 12 others were District Academic All-Americans.

New Drake logo/identity: With input from alumni, faculty, students and staff, we have developed new Drake logos for the institution as a whole and for athletics. The athletic logos were introduced this past summer; the University designs were rolled out this fall.

Student Satisfaction: A recent survey of Drake students conducted by a national con-

sulting firm revealed a high level of student satisfaction with their Drake experience — a factor, I’m sure, in the 86 percent retention rate.

Vision 2025: We have begun an exciting and important discussion about what Drake can

and must be in 20 years if we are to continue to fulfill our mission in the context of a dramatically and rapidly changing environment. More about that discussion will be forthcoming in future issues of Drake Blue.

Strategic Plan: We continue to make excellent progress on our Strategic Plan goals. In keeping with our commitment to always have 4-5 years of concrete plans ahead of us, the next iteration of the Drake University Strategic Plan will be in place by the end of this year. Most rewarding is the fact that the Plan has become part of the institutional culture, informing the decision-making process in all parts of the University.

The strategic planning process is guided on an ongoing basis by two fundamental considerations: 1) we must remain faithful to the core mission of Drake University; 2) the University must be positioned to manage the challenges ahead, and to turn them into opportunities. Those challenges are formidable (and shared by most of higher education), and include:

1887 1888 1889 1890 1891 1892

Resources — Like most colleges and universities in the United States, Drake University is highly dependent on tuition revenue and gifts to meet its operating expenses. At the same time, we have ambitious plans for continued improvement, and we are faced with escalating costs in some major areas (e.g., health benefits; scholarship support; the need to ensure that our salaries are competitive).

Student demographics — there are dramatic shifts taking place in the American population. The number of high school graduates in our core recruitment area is declining over the next decade, and there are significant changes in who these students are in terms of culture, education, economic background, and learning and career goals.

Increasing competition — the competition among colleges and universities for the best students is intensifying, with most schools incurring huge costs in merit scholarships to enroll the students they want (Drake spent $31 million in scholarship support this past year — our second largest expense after faculty/staff compensation). In addition, in many fields, there is a shortage of qualified faculty as well, with a resultant increase in the salaries required to hire and keep the best.

Diversity — Drake University’s commitment to a campus environment that is hospitable to difference, and to attracting and retaining a diverse population of students, faculty and staff, is very real and very powerful. But the real challenge is systemic, and it is vital that we develop partnerships with K-12 school systems and community organizations that can increase the persistence rate and academic success of people who have historically been under-represented in America’s colleges and universities, so that more and more are qualified to go on to post-secondary education.

Campus environment — Drake is blessed with a campus filled with architectural landmarks and historic buildings, and our efforts at campus beautification in recent years have made a huge difference. But to achieve our aspirations for the University, we must continue to re-fashion our classrooms and laboratories into 21st century learning environments, and reconfigure our residence halls to further enhance the connections between student life and learning.

Local environment — Both Des Moines and the Drake neighborhood have seen exciting development in recent years, and the city of Des Moines is a huge asset for our students — particularly as a venue for career-related internships and job opportunities upon graduation. But the Drake neighborhood still lacks the level of retail and recreational vitality that we would ultimately like for our students and staff, and both Des Moines and our immediate area suffer from less-than-positive (and usually completely inaccurate) perceptions on the part of prospective students and employees.

The economic and philanthropic environment — There are a variety of economic factors over which we have, of course, no control, but which have significant impact on the University. The downturn in the U.S. economy had negative consequences for people’s ability to afford higher education (particularly private institutions), and, of course, on the

1893 1894 1895 1896 1897 1898

2004/2005 value of the University’s endowment (although we are now seeing some recovery). Stock market fluctuations and overall economic uncertainty have led to the first decrease in philanthropic support of colleges and universities in decades. The parents of our students are suffering increased pressures on their own finances, from taking care of elderly parents through major increases in their own health benefit costs.

Access — The gap between the “haves” and the “have-nots” in the United States is increasing in dramatic — and disturbing — fashion. Higher education has historically been one of the most powerful vehicles of socio-economic mobility, but there is increasing concern that we are becoming financially out of reach for many who should have access to all that our colleges and universities have to offer. The future health of our society depends on our ability to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. For a private institution such as Drake, without the subsidies enjoyed by public universities, with a relatively small endowment and with a labor-intensive — thus expensive, and excellent — approach to education (small discussion classes led by professors, not large lectures led by teaching assistants), we will continue to struggle to generate resources for scholarship support for deserving students.

Telling our story — National survey research in recent years has demonstrated that the American public has a flawed and incomplete understanding of what goes on in higher education. As a community, America’s colleges and universities have not done a very good job of communicating just what it is that we do and why we do it. Drake University has not been an exception, but we are working hard to turn the tide. If we are to continue to attract a diverse group of highly talented students, faculty and staff, if we are to connect with our alumni and friends, if we are to improve philanthropic support of the University, we need to do a better job of “telling the Drake University story” in ways that each of these constituencies finds useful, informative and meaningful, and that inspires their engagement with Drake.

There is little question that Drake University is positioned more strongly than ever to manage these challenges, and to turn them into opportunities. The wonderful legacy of our past, along with the efforts in which we have all engaged as a community in recent years — particularly Program Review and the Strategic Plan — provide a firm foundation and a strong sense of direction. The spirit of collaboration and good will with which the Drake community carried out those initiatives was truly extraordinary and has attracted national attention for the results. In order to address the challenges ahead, we have worked hard to develop an organization that is in all respects (operational, cultural, behavioral and structural) innovative, yet respectful of its history and values; mission-driven and strategic in its decision-making; not only resilient and responsive to change, but a changeagent — and at the same time thoughtful, reflective and deliberate in its behavior. The generous and enthusiastic support, encouragement and guidance of our alumni and friends are, of course, most appreciated and essential to our ongoing success. These are exciting times at Drake, and the best is yet to come.

THANKS TO THE GENEROSITY OF DRAKE’S ALUMNI AND FRIENDS, the 20042005 fund raising cycle was one of the most successful in recent memory. Gifts and commitments totaled $24,379,732 and established a promising springboard for initiatives coinciding with the 125th anniversary celebration now unfolding.

A particularly bright spot in the constellation of giving was a $10,000,000 gift from Pat, LA’64, and Dan Jorndt, PH’63, of Northbrook, Illinois. Their support was divided between a scholarship endowment benefiting deserving students in the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and the project VICE PRESIDENT FOR to revitalize Drake Stadium. Taken together, the Jorndt’s INSTITUTIONAL ADVANCEMENT generosity represents a broad signature for advancing JOHN H. WILLEY Drake’s mission.

Another point of pride and progress was the Drake Fund, which provides unrestricted operating support for the annual budget. In 2004-05, the Drake Fund received $2,600,863, an increase of 24 percent in the last two years. The impact of that collective generosity was felt in manifold ways, including annual scholarship aid, support for the sort of teaching which makes the Drake experience so distinctive, and simple essentials behind the educational enterprise, like keeping the classroom lights on. Annual giving also touches every corner of student life at Drake through Bulldog Club support of intercollegiate athletics, through the fine arts and through the Donald V. Adams Leadership Institute.

The 686 members of the President’s Circle of the Drake Fund, whose gifts were in amounts of $1,000 or more, contributed 49 percent of the Drake Fund total.

The importance of gift and estate planning in sustaining Drake was clear in 2004-2005.

Fourteen donors made the University the beneficiary of $2,752,857 in bequests through the resources of their estates that came under the management of the University in 20042005. Another dozen generous supporters entered into gift annuity and trust agreements, which will benefit Drake with $276,128 when the arrangements mature.

All told in 2004-2005, 7,861 individuals, foundations and corporations contributed to Drake. 19.3 percent of Drake alumni participated in the varied giving programs.

Giving to Drake will be the pivotal force behind the University’s competitive positioning and institutional strength in the years just ahead. Timely financial support may be sentimental, and it is surely important in its own right, but we value those gifts as substantial guarantees of effective teaching and learning. “Birthday presents” during the DRAKE 125 period will be affirmations of a heritage and of a bold vision of a greater Drake, extending the recent record of generosity by thousands of loyal partners.

1905 1906 1907 1908 1909 1910

2004/2005 Because much of Drake’s future will hinge on its engagement with alumni and friends, 2004-05 was also a time of cultivating new understandings and of animating relationships. We launched a new university magazine, Drake Blue, to be the cornerstone of Drake’s communications program. That initiative was accompanied by a graphic redesign of Drake’s visual brand image with a new logo and an updated version of our bulldog mascot. As Drake turns 125, a redesigned Web site and monthly e-Blue newsletters will be part of an expanded portfolio facilitating the vital exchanges defining the extended Drake community.

The themes of engagement, service and the Drake standard of fun had other manifestations in 2004-05. Bulldog Bashes were held in 34 cities, including London and Paris.

They were complemented by city outreach events in Washington, D.C., Kansas City, Dallas, Minneapolis, Newport Beach and Los Angeles, while the enthusiasm of Drake loyalists in the Chicago area was captured in special dinners and shows and the annual Windy City Golf Outing. We also began an Alumni Career Network program through which alumni nationally can make students aware of job opportunities using college and school referral sites and can, in turn, serve as contacts for graduating students seeking positions.

Two other initiatives stand out in programming advancing Drake’s strategic plan and building identification with Drake. The Live! At Cowles Library series began in spring 2004 as a twice-a-year program featuring speakers whose interests reflect the mission of Drake’s library. The objective of the program is to expand understandings of Cowles Library as the heart of teaching and learning at Drake, while also linking the library to metropolitan Des Moines as an active cultural and educational resource.

The other is the RaySociety, a volunteer-driven organization committed to lifelong learning. With membership now approaching 300 seniors, the RaySociety orchestrates classes and experiences primarily on the Drake campus, led by current and retired Drake faculty, who are joined by leading members of the Des Moines cultural and business community.

With the onset of DRAKE 125, there is a historic opportunity to shape Drake University powerfully and vivaciously for an effective future mission. The record of 2004-2005 imprinted so convincingly by alumni and friends generates the momentum and the energy for that effort, for which Drake University offers its continuing gratitude.

THE 2004-05 YEAR WAS A TRANSITIONAL TIME FOR THE OFFICE OF ADMISSION. I joined the staff in May 2005 to build on the solid foundation developed

by Tom Willoughby throughout his 20 years of service to Drake University. The staff worked diligently during the past year while maintaining Drake’s tradition of keeping students the center of our focus. The fruits of their efforts are detailed below.

The number of applications for first-year students for fall 2005 increased by 5 percent allowing Drake to admit 3 percent more students. A total of 809 first-year students enrolled, a 3 percent increase over last year. In addition, there was a 3 percent increase in transfer applications.

This year’s first-year class became the second largest class VICE PRESIDENT OF to enroll at Drake in the last decade.

Admission Review

ADMISSION & FINANCIAL AID THOMAS F. DELAHUNT While these numbers have increased, the academic profile for the entering first-year class is very similar to last year. The ACT average (26) and high school GPA (3.6 on a 4.0 scale) are identical. The SAT average has gone up seven points.

DRAKE UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT

12

The College of Business and Public Administration (CBPA), College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (CPHS), and College of Arts and Sciences had increases in applications.

Both the CBPA and CPHS received more deposits for fall 2005 as well.

Geographically speaking, the number of first-year students from Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota and Wisconsin is higher than last year. Nebraska is the only primary state with fewer students in the first-year class compared to last year. Continuing past trends, students from Iowa make up 28 percent of our first-year student population.

There are many trends observed during the past year that contributed to the numbers above. More high school seniors (4.5 percent) visited campus this year. We would like to see that number increase because we firmly believe we have the right people in place to meet with prospective students and their families. The faculty, students and other staff members are dedicated to telling the Drake story and creating a welcoming environment for our visitors.

The Alumni home receptions were also a great success this year. While the total number of students who attended one of the 17 events across the country decreased, the yield from the program increased 8 percent. These programs could not happen without the generosity and dedication of Drake alums who open their homes to students and their parents and those who attend the events to share their Drake experiences.

1917 1918 1919 1920 1921 1922

2004/2005 Finally, the annual National Alumni Scholarship competition for top academic students is always a high-yield program. This year, 50 percent of the 278 competitors are coming to Drake. Given there are only 16 scholarships awarded as a result of the competition, this is an incredible achievement. This program is a joint venture between the Office of Admission and the Office of Alumni and Parent Programs.

In addition to the work from the Office of Admission and Office of Financial Planning, I must also acknowledge the deans and other faculty and staff for the parts they played in recruiting the fall 2005 class. Enrolling students is a campus-wide endeavor, and the Drake community works together to guide students through all aspects of their college searches.

I would also like you to join me in welcoming the following new admission counselors to the staff: Erin Gabriel, Kristyn Scott and Allen Ussin, JO’05. In addition, I am thrilled to announce that Laura Linn, AS’90, GR’97, will become our new director of admission in September. Laura not only has two degrees from Drake but also spent eight years in Drake’s admission office in a variety of positions until she departed to become the dean of admission and enrollment management at Oklahoma City University. She is returning to us after spending the past five years as the director of admission and financial aid at The Barstow School in Kansas City.

DRAKE UNIVERSITY MARKED A VERY SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION to this past fiscal year. Financial highlights include a balanced operating budget, growth in the market value of its endowment fund, a reduced endowment spending rate and a significant increase in the University’s total net assets.

Financial Overview

DRAKE UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT

The Operating Budget

Drake finished the year with a balanced operating budget and an overall surplus from operations of more than $337,000. Overall Drake’s operating revenues grew by a modest 4.6 percent over the previous year, while operating expenses increased by 3.5 percent.

VICE PRESIDENT OF Full-time enrollment for the fall increased by 48 students over the BUSINESS & FINANCE previous year to reach a five-year high of 3,878 students. The VICTORIA F. PAYSEUR number of part-time enrolled students remained static (1,343 in the fall of 2004 compared to 1,334 in the fall of 2003). Overall net tuition growth was $2.8 million or 5.3 percent over the prior year while the overall discount rate rose slightly from 36.4 percent of total tuition and fees in the prior year to 37 percent in 2004-05. Drake also experienced solid revenue growth from unrestricted annual gifts and auxiliary operations for the year. During FY05, Drake was able to make significant progress toward its salary improvement goals by allocating $1.8 million solely for compensation increases. Salary funds were distributed on a merit basis to ensure that the University recognizes and rewards high quality employee performance while remaining competitive in the personnel marketplace.

Endowment The Drake University endowment portfolio was valued at $116,968,473 on May 31, 2005, marking an increase of almost 10 percent over the May 31, 2004 market value of $106,412,307. Growth in the endowment fund was generated by new endowment gifts of approximately $8.5 million and net realized and unrealized market gains throughout the year. The total return on the endowment portfolio for the year ending May 31, 2005 was 8.5 percent net of fees. The spending distribution of $5.5 million from the endowment fund to the operating budget represents a 4.9 percent spending rate against the average market value of the endowment for the year.

1929 1930 1931 1932 1933 1934

2004/2005 Statement of Financial Position On May 31, 2005, Drake University’s assets totaled $339 million and liabilities totaled $131 million. Drake University experienced an increase in its overall net assets (i.e., equity) of almost $21 million for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2005. The bulk of the increase was attributable to non-operating (endowment and facilities-related) gifts of $19.7 million and unrealized appreciation on investments. This increase in overall net assets represents an 11.6 percent return on net assets. In addition, the University’s cash flow position improved considerably from slightly over $7 million on May 31, 2004 to over $19 million on May 31, 2005, primarily the result of gifts for the stadium project.

Drake University remains committed to fulfilling its academic mission through the strategic allocation of resources to fund University priorities and the application of sound fiscal policies and practices that ensure the long term success and financial health of the institution.
