A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT During a year when what we knew about our world, our future, and ourselves never stopped changing, the loyalty and generosity of the Penn State family remained steadfast. Like every family, we struggled with disagreements and disappointments, and like every family in 2020, we faced challenges together that we had never faced before. When the fiscal year ended on June 30, however, the numbers told the story of our enduring Penn State spirit: alumni and friends had committed more than $381.3 million in support to the University. That total represents a third consecutive year of breaking our own record for new gifts and pledges, but it represents much more. Over four major campaigns, the support of our alumni and friends has been the force behind our rise to the top rank of public institutions nationwide. It is the strength that is empowering us to lead the way through the current crises facing our nation and our global society, and it is the inspiration as we plan for the brighter future ahead.

In the pages that follow, you will learn how a gift from two beloved Penn Staters who met here on the cusp of WWII has helped us rise to the demands of our own historical moment. We celebrate the triumph of our newest graduates over personal hardship, thanks to private support, and the establishment of new programs and scholarships that will create even more diverse communities on our campuses. This report honors the generosity of alumni, corporate partners, and other donors who have stepped forward for the students and the communities we serve, and it offers affirmation for all of us who know that Penn State and Penn Staters will emerge even stronger from this year. Thank you for being an invaluable member of the Penn State family. Our connection is not virtual—it is real—and it endures across the miles and across the generations. I look forward to welcoming you back to our campuses when we can do so safely, but until then, I wish you continuing health, peace, and Penn State pride.
E Eric J. Barron President, The Pennsylvania State University
A MESSAGE FROM THE CAMPAIGN CHAIR
“I just want to thank you for everything you’ve done—you don’t know how much this means to me.” “Thank you so much for all of your help. Not only do I appreciate it, but my entire family does.” “You are helping more than you know.” Those are the real words of students who received help from the Student Care & Advocacy Emergency Fund this year, but they express what I want to say to all of you about your support for Penn State. You are helping more than you know—not only through the more than $650,000 that was raised to help students who lost jobs and faced other financial hardships because of COVID-19, but also through your gifts to scholarships and research, program funds and faculty endowments. Your generosity remains vital to the quality of our education and the strength of our community. At a time when some institutions across the country have had to close their doors or curtail their goals and ambitions, your faith in our future has also sustained the momentum of our current campaign, A Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence, and its vision of the University as a higher education leader. As a result of all your support, we raised the campaign goal to $2.1 billion last November and extended the timeline by one year. Right now, it’s hard to imagine what the world will look like when A Greater Penn State concludes in June 2022, but I know that this institution will be immeasurably stronger because of your contributions and enthusiasm for this campaign. There is still a hard road ahead—for the campaign, for our students, and for the entire Penn State community. We will certainly honor our commitment to donors like you to use your support for the purposes you designated, and so the dramatic impact of COVID-19 on our revenue and budget cannot be addressed by philanthropy alone. But private support is absolutely essential to ensuring that we fulfill our mission of education, research, and service, at the highest possible level, as we prepare to address whatever challenges the future may present us. My thoughts are with all of you who are facing previously unimaginable losses and profound challenges, and, like all of you, my family and I look forward with great anticipation to a time when we can return to our usual celebrations and interactions as the strong and great community we are. Thank you for your continuing support of that community. You are helping more than you know.
Rick Sokolov ’71 Volunteer Chair, A Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence

A YEAR IN GIVING
The record-breaking commitment total in 2019–2020 was driven by gifts received and celebrated throughout the year. Here are top stories from the Philanthropy at Penn State newsletter. To join the mailing list, please send a request to philanthropy@psu.edu. You can also look for @RaisePennState on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to stay up to date on all the ways that Penn Staters are supporting our institution.
JULY 2019 Designed by leading 20th century architect Robert Charles Venturi Jr., the former Oak Building will become a stateof-the-art new home for the School of Hospitality Management, thanks to a $4 million gift from the J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation, which will rename the building and launch critical renovations.
AUGUST 2019 It was a landmark month for the College of Engineering, which announced a $4 million gift from Raj and Jeannette Mittra to create funds for electrical engineering students and faculty, and a $2.5 million estate commitment from Andrew and Katherine Kartalis to support the expansion and renovation of the college’s facilities.
SEPTEMBER 2019 The Palmer Museum of Art received a bequest of nearly 200 artworks collected by Barbara and James Palmer, including the painting shown above, Georgia O’Keefe’s Lake George. The collection, combined with 450 works previously given, ranks the Palmers as the single largest contributors of art to the museum, which will continue to bear their name when it moves into a new home in 2023.

OCTOBER 2019 New generations of business leaders will be equipped for the challenges of a global and interconnected society thanks to a $5 million commitment from 1981 alumni Scott and Marcy Tarriff (shown above with Dean Charles H. Whiteman and President Eric Barron) to create the Tarriff Center for Business Ethics and Social Responsibility in the Smeal College of Business.
NOVEMBER 2019 When Dallas Krapf’s father was treated at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, the family found strength and hope in the center’s pastoral care—and now other families will be offered the same comfort in the new Dallas and Di Krapf Interfaith Chapel, made possible by a $1 million gift from Dallas and Diane Krapf.
DECEMBER 2019 Even as they were still working through Thanksgiving leftovers, Penn Staters stepped up and made more than 7,600 gifts through the national #GivingTuesday campaign, an annual effort that spanned December 2 and 3 and raised more than $710,000 in support for Penn State scholarships, student organizations, research, athletics, and more.
JANUARY 2020 Created by WPSU-TV and supported by a $585,000 grant from the New York Life Foundation, the Speaking Grief initiative is helping families to cope with loss and helping communities to start a nationwide conversation about grief through a onehour documentary, a website, and other important resources.
FEBRUARY 2020 A $15.5 million commitment from the A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation, paired with a $10 million investment from the University, created the A. James Clark Scholars Program in the College of Engineering, opening the door to a world-class engineering education for high-achieving students with financial need.
MARCH 2020 Alumni and friends across the country began to step forward for students hit hard by the personal and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Student Care & Advocacy Emergency Fund will ultimately raise more than $650,000 in aid for urgent needs before the end of the fiscal year, with longtime supporters Ed and Helen Hintz leading the way through a $100,000 gift.
APRIL 2020 In December, longtime Penn State Behrend men’s basketball coach Dave Niland earned his 500th career victory— and in April, the campus announced that more than fifty fans, friends, and former players had united to honor his achievements with an endowment that will provide important support to the Division III team.
MAY 2020 Mark Gruskin, an alumnus of Penn State Greater Allegheny and a faculty member at Penn State Lehigh Valley, increased his estate commitment to the University, with a total of $3.5 million ultimately to benefit those campuses through support for endowed faculty funds and scholarships.

JUNE 2020 Students at Penn State Altoona will also benefit from a remarkable bequest: a scholarship, funded through a $100,000 outright gift and a $1.25 million estate commitment from alumnus Dennis McDonald, who also committed funds to the Smeal College of Business, the University Libraries, and the Penn State Blue Band.
A GIFT TO THE FUTURE
When J. Lloyd Huck and Dorothy Foehr Huck met as Penn State undergraduates in the early 1940s, the life sciences were on the cusp of advances that would change the world, from the use of antibiotics to the discovery of the human genome. Their own studies—Lloyd as the only Chemistry major in his graduating class after he returned from service in WWII, Dottie as a Home Economics major focused on nutrition—inspired them with a lifelong interest in how research could improve health and quality of life. Over the many decades of their marriage and Lloyd’s career in the pharmaceutical industry, the couple invested millions in their alma mater’s leadership in fields ranging from infectious disease dynamics to ecology. Lloyd and Dottie (shown at right) ultimately gave more than $40 million to programs and facilities across the University, and in 2002, Penn State named the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences in their honor.
Nearly two decades later, the Hucks’ generosity made it possible for Penn State researchers to respond rapidly to the COVID-19 crisis. With funding that came in part from an endowment they created, the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences announced a seed grant program on

March 3, and forty-eight faculty teams across the University received support for a wide range of urgent needs, from strategies that quickly identify mutations in the virus to treatments that jumpstart immune cells to combat inflammation in the lungs. Descriptions of all the funded projects are available at huck.psu.edu. Although the Hucks have now passed on—Lloyd in 2012, Dottie in 2014—their Penn State legacy may lead to lives saved around the world.
STEPPING UP, MASCING UP Within the span of two weeks in March, as COVID-19 was just beginning to take hold in the United States, Timothy W. Simpson went from enjoying a spring break at the beach with his family to rallying hundreds of researchers across the University and the Commonwealth to bring together their expertise in countless fields and their will to make a difference on the frontline of the pandemic. Simpson, a professor of mechanical and industrial engineering and engineering design, launched the Manufacturing and Sterilization for COVID-19 (MASC) initiative with help from Penn State colleagues and leaders who shared his sense of urgency. Using seed funding from the Dal Pezzo InnovaDr. Neerav Goyal, a physician at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, tests out a 3D-printed filtration mask prototype. Photo credit: Jason Plotkin tion Fund for Entrepreneurial Initiatives in the College of Engineering that he oversees in the Harold & Inge Marcus Department of Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, Simpson was able to secure matching kits, and mobile sterilization units that could help medical facilities resources from offices across the University, including Penn State and nursing homes to maximize reuse of PPE. This fall, the initiative College of Medicine, and MASC jumped into action. Almost 400 faculty, will engage returning Penn State students in design and fabrication of staff, and students have joined with each other and with corporate partMASC projects. MASC’s daily leadership calls sparked a collaboration ners spread across the Commonwealth on efforts that have resulted in: between the Center for Supply Chain Research in the Smeal College of Business and Penn State College of Medicine that has led to a project, ■ Production of 750,000 face shields with Universal Protective Packagled by Dr. Nikki Osevala and funded by a $22.9 million grant from the ing, Inc. in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, to assist skilled nursing ■ A collaboration between engineers and artists at University Park and and long-term care facilities in south-central Pennsylvania in the fight physicians and surgeons at Penn State Health to design and create against COVID-19.

NO LION IS ALONE
Half of all Penn State students sometimes go hungry because they can’t access affordable food. That’s the finding of a survey conducted by a College of Agricultural Sciences student team through the UNESCO Youth as Researchers program. The results tally with nationwide trends: a report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office last year indicated that more than a third of college students across the country are food insecure. The problem is especially great at institutions like Penn State that are committed to enrolling students for whom higher education can change their economic destiny. Twenty percent of undergraduates across the University are the first generation in their families to attend college, and the number is even higher at many campuses. These students and others, such as those from low-income households and parents returning to school to create better lives for their families, often face financial burdens and obligations that force them to choose between covering educational costs and putting food on the table. Those choices have become even harder for households coping with the financial fallout of COVID-19. Penn State and Penn Staters have committed themselves to help. Last fall’s Tackle Hunger Challenge pitted Penn State and Ohio State against each other in a battle to see which school’s supporters could give more to support campus food pantries—and the Blue and White triumphed, with more than 10,000 donors and nearly $214,000 raised during the weeklong effort. In early 2020, the University launched the Task Force for Food and Housing Security to consider how best to help students who are struggling to meet their basic needs. And food pantry volunteers like those shown at right are helping students to focus on all the opportunities of the Penn State experience, instead of worrying where their next meal is coming from.

“Hunger is an issue that students shouldn’t fight alone. Food is a necessity, but many students may not be able to prioritize it. Support from our community can help to take some of the burden off our students’ shoulders.” Abisha Ebenezer, Penn State Abington
“As a student, the stresses of financial aid and keeping up with classes are already a huge worry. To think that some students have to deal with that and also think about where their next meal will come from is unacceptable.” Justin Jones, Penn State Harrisburg
“I fight against student food insecurity because we, as students, are already under a lot of stress with our classes,
“It’s important to provide access to resources that meet student needs both in the classroom and beyond. Volunteering is one of the ways that I can give back in a way that truly matters.” Erica Willis, Penn State Greater Allegheny
schoolwork, possible jobs, internships, and clubs. Why should hunger play a part in that?” Isaac Cherico, Penn State DuBois “Knowing that there are students who are struggling with food insecurity made me want to find a solution. Asking for help isn’t easy, so letting students know that their struggles are known and that we’re trying to help is important.” Thi Tran, Penn State Behrend

FOR THE FRONTLINE
Nearly a century after it began as a local meat market in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, The GIANT Company and its namesake grocery stores are a familiar presence throughout the mid-Atlantic. The company, deeply rooted in central Pennsylvania, has focused its philanthropy on connecting families for a better future. Over the last twenty-five years, GIANT has given more than $11 million to Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, and the company was Children’s Miracle Network’s top corporate partner for 2019–2020. This spring, as the pandemic unfolded, GIANT stepped up again to support those on the frontline, serving the Phil Guarno drops off meals from local restaurants for employees working on Easter Sunday. He delivered meals to employees for thirty-five days in a row.
“I’m just trying to do my little part to bring something positive in a negative time. And I hope to make people aware that we have a world-class medical center in our backyard, and it’s an honor to help them.” —Phil Guarno
same communities where it got its start. The company gave $50,000 to initiate the medical center’s COVID-19 response fund. And when the annual celebrations of National Nurses Week and National Hospital Week arrived in May, so did the GIANT Airstream trailer, full of free flowers, beauty products, snacks, and other gifts for medical workers. Many other national and local businesses, as well as countless community members and groups, also came forward to help Penn State Health meet the demands of the pandemic. The Hershey Company offered 22,000 square feet of warehouse space for the storage of masks, gowns, and sanitizer, and it provided chocolate treats for staff. Phil Guarno, owner of Fenicci’s in Hershey, rallied the community to support fellow restaurateurs to make meals for healthcare workers. Sheetz, UTZ, Revittle, and many others provided snacks. Companies—including Volvo, TE Connectivity, Poole & Kent, and Bass Pro Shops—donated personal protective equipment from their own supplies. Hershey Entertainment & Resorts provided hotel rooms for healthcare workers completing concurrent shifts. And one innovative child celebrated his twelfth birthday by giving some staff a special gift—custom N95 masks he 3D printed himself. Staff, students, and faculty of Penn State Health and Penn State College of Medicine also banded together to support each other and the surrounding communities. The Families in Need COVID Relief Fund, started by medical students and advisor Dr. Susan Borys and her colleagues, raised nearly $50,000 to help those facing food insecurity due to COVID-19 and its economic impact in the region. Senior leaders personally committed more than $500,000 to support employees and students who have experienced unforeseen financial difficulty during this time. All of these contributions, and so many others, prove that WE ARE stronger together. 10

CELEBRATING THE CLASS OF 2020
Hats off to the University’s newest graduates, who persevered through an unprecedented spring semester and summer term to participate in virtual commencements in the midst of of a global pandemic. Many also faced personal challenges on the path to their degrees, and philanthropy helped these students and thousands more to join the ranks of proud Penn Staters this year.
“Seeing my peers have their light-bulb moments in intimidating courses gives me the satisfaction that they can also teach others. It is for this reason I would like to teach mathematics when I retire from active duty.” NROTC Battalion Sergeant Major Prince Koomson joined the U.S. military soon after his family emigrated from Ghana in 2012, and he is in his seventh year of active service, including two combat deployments aboard the USS George W. Bush. He enrolled at Penn State after being selected to be trained as a pilot through a program that required him to earn a bachelor’s degree. He graduated this summer as a Mathematics major. Along the way, he discovered a passion for tutoring his fellow service members and classmates in math and physics, even as he supported his siblings through the illness and after the death of their father. Koomson was the runner-up for this year’s Outstanding Adult Student Award, a grant created by Leslie Laing, director for Adult Learner Programs and Services and student advocacy specialist in the Division of Student Affairs at Penn State.
“My time at Penn State has been immensely transformative. I will look back on these years as some of the best of my life, and I’m honored and humbled to be selected as the college marshal. It all doesn’t even feel real.” Daniela Claudio Pagán overcame financial challenges, a language barrier, a natural disaster, and, finally, a global pandemic to graduate this spring as the student marshal for the College of Arts and Architecture. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, she fell in love with Penn State from online photos, but it took support from the Bunton-Waller Fellows Program, the Hockenberry and Parker Scholarship in the College of Arts and Architecture, and other awards for her to enroll. After working hard in her courses and on her English language skills, she gained admittance to the competitive Graphic Design major, and thanks to scholarship support, she was able to stay focused on her studies even as her family coped with Hurricane Maria in 2017. As a senior, she received the Vaughan Family Open Doors Scholarship in the College of Arts and Architecture. Daniela returned to Puerto Rico when the University Park campus closed because of COVID-19, but she was proud to celebrate her graduation in May. 12
“This is the beginning, not the end. I want to go where I can make a difference, and all that I have been able to experience at Penn State York has prepared me for it.” Mindy Gruzin grew up in the foster care system and graduated from high school at the age of 16. A job as a medical assistant and the birth of her son made her realize that she wanted to do more—for him, for herself, and for patients. At the age of 27, she went back to school, enrolling first at Harrisburg Area Community College and then at Penn State York, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and pursued research opportunities in biology. With the help of scholarships and awards, including the Cheryl J. Plumb Memorial Scholarship, the Mary S. Fritz Trustee Scholarship, and the Rodney A. Erickson Discovery Grant, she graduated summa cum laude, and this fall, she’s beginning her studies toward an M.D. at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine on a full-ride scholarship.
FROM STRUGGLE TO STRENGTH Through their senior class gift, this year’s graduates are helping to ensure that other students will receive support and care to cope with the aftermath of COVID-19 and other challenges. Last fall, Penn State seniors voted to create a new endowment for Counseling and Psychological Services. Other Penn Staters are welcome to join in funding the endowment, honoring the class of 2020, and helping future students to thrive. Learn more at app.mobilecause.com/vf/ClassGift2020.

WE PLAY ALL
At press time, Coach James Franklin is preparing to lead the Nittany Lions back onto the field for the reinstated Big Ten season, but he and his wife, Fumi, are also leading the way to an even more important victory: creating a stronger and more diverse Penn State community. Last autumn, the couple created the Franklin Family Undergraduate Endowed Scholarship in Educational Equity for undergraduates who are the first generation in their family to attend college, who are from lower-income households, and whose race, ethnic, cultural, gender, and/ or national background are underrepresented at the University. The Franklins invited others to join them in supporting the endowment, and in early July, they announced that they had reached their goal of creating a fund that would provide a full-tuition scholarship every year in perpetuity, with a total of $462,500 raised.
“Increasing access for underrepresented populations will continue to enhance the diversity of the Penn State student body. We can’t wait for Penn State to welcome these students. Together WE can make a difference.” James and Fumi Franklin
14
The Franklins also inspired donors to give more than $287,000 to The Franklin Family Renaissance Scholarship, which honored the coach’s selection as the 2019 Renaissance Fund honoree. For forty-three years, the Renaissance Fund has celebrated an individual or a couple who has contributed significantly to the University and State College communities. Renaissance Scholarships benefit those high-achieving students with the greatest financial need, who might not otherwise be able to pursue a Penn State degree. Through this fund and their own scholarship support, the Franklins are inspiring other Penn Staters to join with them in opening the doors of the University to students from every background.
THE EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MATCHING PROGRAM Created in response to the national reckoning with questions of race and justice, the Educational Equity Matching Program has offered alumni and friends the opportunity to partner with the University in creating a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive Penn State. Announced in late June, the program allowed
donors to tap an initial $10 million in University matching funds to multiply the impact of new scholarships for students whose gender, race, ethnic, cultural, and/or national background contribute to the diversity of the Penn State community. Response was so enthusiastic that alumni and friends had claimed the full $10 million in support by the end of September. The program has now concluded, but the University has provided additional funds to allow donors currently holding a proposal for an Educational Equity Scholarship to affirm their commitment to future generations of students by December 31, 2020. Even after the matching funds are exhausted, however, supporters are encouraged to create new Educational Equity Scholarships, helping us to fulfill our historic land-grant mission to reach all citizens of the Commonwealth and drive transformation across the institution and the larger world.
LESSONS FROM OUR HISTORY The Educational Equity Matching Program reflects the same Penn State promise embodied in the traditional “WE ARE” cheer dating back to 1948. The undefeated and racially integrated Penn State football team earned a berth in that year’s Cotton Bowl against Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas—a city that, at the time, was segregated. When SMU suggested that Penn State should not allow its Black teammates to take the field, the story has it that the team captain, Steve Suhey, responded, “We play all or we play none…we are Penn State!” Among the scholarships that have received a 2:1 match from the Educational Equity Matching Program are endowments benefiting students in the Bunton-Waller Program, named in honor of the University’s first female and male Black graduates. The program supports undergraduates who, like Mildred Settle Bunton and Calvin Hoffman Waller, enhance Penn State’s broad and diverse student population. Selected by all colleges and many campuses across the University on the basis of professional and academic potential as well as personal background, Bunton-Waller participants receive both financial and academic support, and the sense of community created by the program helps students to thrive throughout their undergraduate studies and beyond.
15
WHAT’S NOW WHAT’S NEXT Philanthropy and other forms of partnership are helping the Penn State community to face the challenges of the fall semester—and look toward a brighter future.
When the class of 2020 voted to create an endowment for Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at the University (see page 13), they were following in the footsteps of the class of 2016, which established its own fund to support the mental health of Penn State students. That gift and others have helped CAPS to create resources such as the Red Folder, a guide to help faculty identify when a student is in distress, and to convert its in-person services to virtual so that CAPS can continue to meet students where they are, both figuratively and literally.

16
Penn State students and alumni in the performing arts were hit hard by the closure of theaters and the disappearance of other opportunities to share their talents with audiences. To help, Penn State Centre Stage created a virtual venue so the show could go on. In May and August, episodes of The Living Room Project presented performances and interviews with Penn Staters who danced, sang, and acted their ways into the hearts and homes of online viewers. The project also raised support that has helped students in need, allowing them to stay enrolled this fall. Penn State Centre Stage is now offering a virtual season of performances focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion at sites.psu.edu/pscsvirtual/
Experiences outside the classroom, such as internships and research, have become an essential part of a Penn State education, preparing undergraduates to hit the ground running in their careers. When COVID-19 closed Penn State campuses and many of the companies and organizations where students pursue these activities, the University’s Student Engagement Network quickly came up with a way to keep the learning going. Through its Remote Innovation Grants, it connected dozens of students with companies such as Deloitte and Verizon for virtual opportunities this summer—and the program was such a success that it’s continuing this fall, with philanthropy and partnership from corporate leaders.
A past Corporate Partner of the Year award-winner, Lockheed Martin traditionally hosts an annual event at the University Park campus to recruit Penn State students for a wide range of opportunities at the technology pioneer, with more than 1,400 alumni now on staff. The global pandemic hasn’t cancelled demand for talented, well-trained candidates: in September, Lockheed Martin hosted a virtual recruiting event to familiarize students with internships and full-time positions and select applicants for interviews. Its experts also offered guidance on resume-writing and other skills to help students succeed not just at Lockheed Martin but throughout their careers.
The Textbook and Educational Resource Endowment has historically provided educational materials in the University Libraries for students who can’t afford to buy their own. Through a #GivingTuesday effort last December, more than $34,000 was added to the fund through gifts from 144 donors and a match from the Penn State Bookstore. That support, along with the Libraries’ Future Fund, was vital when the University shifted to remote instruction in March, providing access for students and faculty to digital resources and technology like that typically available in the Tombros McWhirter Knowledge Commons (see below). The Textbook and Educational Resource Endowment continues to be invaluable this fall as the Libraries aim to keep the Penn State community connected to its collections and to each other.

PHILANTHROPY AWARDS This award recognizes an individual or family who has demonstrated exceptional generosity in the promotion and support of The Pennsylvania State University. The recipients of this award, through their philanthropy and service, have helped shape the University’s future and improve the quality of life for the student body, faculty, and staff.
PHILANTHROPIST OF THE YEAR: DR. KEIKO MIWA ROSS Through her remarkable generosity, Dr. Keiko Miwa Ross has demonstrated that it is not necessary to be a Penn State graduate to be a true Penn Stater, and she is a leading philanthropist to the University and a committed supporter of cultural experiences, resources, and facilities that serve both the Penn State community and the public. She has given more than $14 million to areas across the University Park campus, including a $7.5 million gift that pushed the new Palmer Museum of Art building project past the threshold necessary to create the landmark facility. Born and raised in Japan, Ross was an educational pioneer in her native country and one of the nation’s first female undergraduates. She completed her education in the United States, receiving her bachelor of arts degree and, later, her master’s and doctoral degrees in education from universities in Washington State. Through her work, she met S. Thomas Ross, director of an American-Japanese joint venture company. They were married the following year and lived in Japan until 1977, when Thomas was assigned to New York. Dr. Ross became an American citizen,
and the Rosses ultimately settled in State College; Thomas passed away in 2013. She continues to live at the Village at Penn State, and her philanthropy is having a visible impact across the campus so near to her home. In the University Libraries, she has named the Dr. Keiko Miwa Ross Garden Terrace, a new student-centered study and gathering space that includes an outdoor garden, and the Dr. Keiko Miwa Ross Global News Center, which provides access to international news collections. At The Arboretum at Penn State’s Pollinator and Bird Garden, a pond and observation steps in the new space will also bear her name. A supporter of WPSU-TV, Ross

provided essential funding for the replacement of the station’s aging transmitter system last year. The most dramatic celebration of Ross’s philanthropy on the University Park campus will be the naming of the new Palmer Museum of Art lobby and the unique, elevated and glassenclosed corridor connecting the facility’s main building and its education and administration wing. As a community member who has chosen to invest in University resources that benefit countless citizens and families in our region, Ross has affirmed not only her own philanthropic leadership, but also her commitment to Penn State’s land-grant mission to serve all the people of the Commonwealth.
The award recognizes an individual, couple, or group who has served as fundraising volunteers, teachers, or mentors while demonstrating exceptional commitment and leadership in building philanthropic support for The Pennsylvania State University.
FUNDRAISING VOLUNTEERS OF THE YEAR: GAIL AND DENNIS JACKMAN Through their leadership and their example, Gail and Dennis Jackman have shaped the University’s vision for the Greater Penn State campaign and encouraged many other Penn Staters to give back to their alma mater. The Jackmans’ shared commitment to Penn State began on the University Park campus, where the couple met as undergraduates. After completing a bachelor’s degree in sociology (1976) and a graduate degree in business at Cornell University, Dennis pursued a career that culminated in his role as global senior vice president for policy and external affairs at CSL Behring, an international biotherapies company.

We are proud to honor them for their comprehensive philanthropic support and their partnership in fulfilling our land-grant mission in northwest Pennsylvania.
FOUNDATION PARTNER OF THE YEAR: THE HEINZ ENDOWMENTS
This award recognizes a foundation that has demonstrated extraordinary generosity in promotion and support of The Pennsylvania State University. Recipients are chosen on the basis of consistency of giving, support to areas of greatest need, and impact across Penn State.
The Heinz Endowments, based in Pittsburgh, has become one of our most valued foundation allies through consistent giving and thought partnership. The Heinz family rose to prominence through H.J. Heinz’s founding of the H.J. Heinz Company, a national leader in food processing, in the late nineteenth century. The family’s legacy of giving and community outreach lives on through The Heinz Endowments, which seeks to help the Pittsburgh region prosper through funding toward three priority interests: creativity, learning, and sustainability. The organization’s work centers around the vision of a “Just Pittsburgh” where all are included and everyone who calls southwest Pennsylvania home has a real and meaningful opportunity to thrive. Through more than $9 million in total giving to Penn State, The Heinz Endowments has brought these values to life with philanthropic support and collaboration in developing University programs, research, and social justice initiatives. In 2019, a gift to Penn State Greater Allegheny helped to create the campus’s first blended associate degree in information sciences and technology. Another gift last year helped to jumpstart Penn State Greater Allegheny’s G.A.M.E. (Giving Adolescents Meaningful Experiences), a hybrid mentoring program that offers mental health support, legal counseling, and college prep for teens with prior experience in the criminal justice system. Motivated by our shared commitment to the Pittsburgh region, The Heinz Endowments has supported the Penn State Center Pittsburgh, with their most recent gifts assisting programs that address food security in southwest Pennsylvania. The foundation has extended its philanthropy beyond the region to other University projects in an array of academic units. In recent years, it has supported research on the effects of Marcellus Shale natural gas exploration and development on the forest ecosystem, as well as the College of Education’s Project TEAM, which offers an integrated and sustainable model for classroom teachers to promote team building, antibullying, and leadership development. Other gifts from The Heinz Endowments have been directed toward internships in the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications, the Pennsylvania Forest Stewards program in the College of Agricultural Sciences, and the Hemingway Letters Project in the College of the Liberal Arts, among others. The foundation’s support for our University is as deep and varied as their commitment to the future of Pittsburgh, the Commonwealth, and the nation. We are honored to recognize them for their partnership in thought and philanthropy, which will help to bring our shared visions to life for generations to come.

ENDOWMENT AND PHILANTHROPY SUMMARY The Long-Term Investment Pool (LTIP) is Penn State’s investment portfolio into which most of the endowed funds established at the University are invested. This commingled pool operates much like a mutual fund. Each endowment owns units in LTIP, just as an individual would purchase shares in a mutual fund. As with a mutual fund, the value of each unit at the time funds are invested in the pool determines how many units an individual fund acquires. Endowed gifts are held by Penn State in perpetuity. The initial gift is invested, and annually a portion of the investment return is spent for the purpose designated by the donor. Thus, an endowed gift today is intended to have relatively the same value for future generations. Penn State strives to be a good steward of its endowed gifts and follows a prudent management philosophy in investing these gifts so that they may maintain their value in real, inflation-adjusted terms, over time. The University’s Board of Trustees has established BASIC ENDOWMENT MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES four basic investment management principles to guide the University’s 1. Provide sufficient total return on investments to meet the Investment Council. University’s mission and spending objectives. 2. Focus on long-term performance. These four principles help to ensure that the spending power of each 3. Accept a reasonable and prudent level of risk while maximizing endowment gift will be maintained in the face of economic fluctuations: total return. 4. Diversify investments to reduce risk.

LTIP PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Commodities Natural resources Real estate Inflation-protected securities Infrastructure
The Penn State endowment portfolio is broadly diversified, with 12 percent in fixed income as of June 30, 2020; 46 percent in public equities (both U.S. and non-U.S.); and 20 percent in private equity. In addition, 6 percent is invested in real assets including real estate, natural resources, and commodities, while 16 percent is invested in diversifying assets (including hedge funds and private credit). The majority of the endowment’s assets are equity-type investments that, over the long term, are expected to generate returns more than inflation to preserve the endowment’s purchasing power for future generations.
In the year ending June 30, 2020, U.S. equity markets posted single-digit returns, with the S&P 500 gaining 7.5 percent; the MSCI All Country World Index ex-US returned -4.8 percent. Fixed income markets represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate posted an overall return of 8.7 percent. As of June 30, 2020, LTIP’s investment return was 5.7 percent over the last year, 6.5 percent per year over the 5-year period, 9.0 percent over the 10-year period, and 6.4 percent over the 20-year period. These annualized investment returns are net of external investment manager fees. These results demonstrate long-term growth even when considering periods of negative investment returns, such as the steep decline at the turn of the century, the downturn a decade ago due to the credit crisis, and the decline during March 2020 due to the impacts of COVID-19. Penn State’s diversified approach has allowed the endowment to support program spending, such as scholarships and faculty positions, while maintaining real, inflation-adjusted growth for future generations.

Endowment Pool
LTIP’s investments consist of a diversified investment portfolio of public equities and fixed income, private equity, real assets, and other diversifying strategies. In managing our investments, we adhere to a prudent, long-term investment strategy. The University targets 4.5 percent of LTIP’s five-year average market value for spending on scholarships and educational programs. The University’s spending policy of using rolling five-year average balances is intended to smooth out the “peaks” and “troughs” in the investment markets, saving a portion of the earnings in the good years to offset the less profitable years. This provides generous current spending while preserving future purchasing power, which is known as “intergenerational equity.”

As of the end of fiscal 2020, total endowment assets were valued at $3.4 billion, of which $3.27 billion was invested in LTIP. The other endowment assets, which include charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities, and other life income funds in addition to some donor-restricted funds, represented $138 million; these assets are not invested in LTIP. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, the total endowment assets increased $157 million, and they have increased a cumulative $911 million over the last five years. This amount reflects the impact of investment returns and generous giving, net of consistent support for scholarships and University programs. Over this same period, endowment assets invested in LTIP have provided $543 million of program support, including $126 million in fiscal 2020. ’11

MARKET VALUE OF PENN STATE’S ENDOWMENTS AND SIMILAR FUNDS (Fiscal year ending June 30, 2020) The University reports results for both endowed and similar funds, and for non-endowed funds, as commingled assets of the Long-Term Investment Pool (LTIP). The non-endowed funds, formerly invested in Penn State’s operating pool of fixed-income securities, have been commingled with endowed funds to strategically fund the University’s liability covering post-retirement health care benefits for Penn State retirees. Additional income realized from the transfer to the LTIP relieves the University’s operating budget of this ongoing obligation. Penn State’s accounting practices follow the guidelines of the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

Prior to joining Penn State in 2019, Cullen was the chief investment officer at the Montana Board of Investments. Cullen has also held investment positions at Fidelity Investments, Amherst College, and Lucent Technologies. He earned his bachelor of arts degree at Ripon College and his M.B.A. at Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University. Cullen is a CFA charterholder, CAIA charterholder, and a Financial Risk Manager—Certified by the Global Association of Risk Professionals. As Joe embarked upon his new role at Penn State, he said, “Education has been an important part of my life, and I’m excited to join a leading institution like Penn State and support its mission to impact the world through teaching, research, and service. In particular, I’m honored to join the Office of Investment Management to assist in the stewardship of Penn State’s investment funds, as the investment assets are a critical component of the sound financial management of the University’s resources and help the institution to carry out its mission.”
PENN STATE INVESTMENT COUNCIL PENN STATE’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES created the Investment Council in response to the University’s increasing asset base and complex investment strategies. The council provides direct oversight of the endowment and long-term investment program, and it regularly reviews asset allocation, new asset classes, investment strategies, and manager performance.
