Richard Ach ’73, Chair Retired Senior Vice President, AG Edwards
joined Prescott College in 2009 and two years later was named Vice President for Institutional Advancement. During the past three years, I’ve had a reoccurring thought about my work here that comes from an essay in The Columbian Orator published in 1797: “Large streams from little fountains flow, Tall oaks from little acorns grow.” Today, Prescott College is sowing the seeds—the acorns—that will mature into oaks; providers of sustainable financial resources for the College into the future. It has been a year of constant adjustment to market forces to ensure expenditures and available resources stay in balance. These decisions haven’t been easy— and the economic forecasts would indicate they aren’t over yet. But I and my fellow members of the President’s advisory group are confident in the direction we are headed as an institution. The past three years have been transformational for Prescott College. We have embraced a very aggressive building project, making student housing available for 104 students. This helps build a stronger community among the students and aids admissions and retention initiatives, both of which are critical to the success of the College. The campus has been more defined and beautified, and parking lots upgraded. People now have a keener sense of Prescott College’s location and its contributions in the local community, not the least of which are nationally renowned exhibits at the Art Gallery at Sam Hill Warehouse. We have added two degrees to the On-Campus Undergraduate Program (a B.F.A. and B.S.), on-campus delivery for a Master of Arts in Humanities with a concentration in Social Justice and Human Rights, with a proposed M.Ed. in the works—all of which broaden our appeal in an education market experts project will continue to shrink. Also, our fundraising efforts are engaging more of our constituents than ever. This year we saw a 36 percent increase in the number of donors to the Annual Fund for Academic Excellence. We had 262 first-time donors; and another 73 increased the amount of their gift to the College. Yes, these are acorns from which mighty oaks do grow.

It recognizes those who have remembered Prescott College in their estate plans through a bequest intention, a life income arrangement, and a gift of real estate, or as beneficiary of an IRA, insurance policy, or trust. The Society now has 34 individual members, couples, or families who have named Prescott College in their wills. Since July 1, 2011, ten people joined the Legacy Society by making their estate intentions known to the Advancement Office. Prescott College also has 28 endowments, with 24 solely designated as scholarships for students (see pages 28 and 29). This year the Hulmes Legacy Endowed Scholarship was added, benefitting Environmental Education undergraduates. To date, the College has benefitted from more than $1.6 million in realized bequests.

A world traveler and highly active outdoorswoman, Kelly liked her expeditionary courses best. “Kelly had a sense of assurance and presence about her and a smile that lit up a room. She touched many lives,” says her mother, Anna Cook. In 2009, Kelly’s family established the Kelly Megan Stack Memorial Scholarship Fund to assist financially needy Prescott College undergraduate students interested in environmental sciences, natural history, and environmental education.

For five years he repeatedly sought employment opportunities where he had a chance to share his passion for the outdoors with other people. “Along with my love of simply being outside, I enjoy learning about the environment I’m moving through,” Dillon says. “I believe that it’s possible to move toward a more sustainable relationship with our planet. I view my time in college as an opportunity to prepare myself for a life of constructively managing public lands for today and the future.” Dillon comes from a self-described “financially insecure” background, and credits his ability to continue a post-secondary education to the scholarships he’s received.

sking for charitable donations during an economic downswing presents its challenges. Many loyal donors will give because they believe in the mission of the College and understand the operational needs we face on a day-to-day basis. To entice new donors or to encourage donors to increase the level of their gifts, we like to sweeten the deal, so to speak, by offering a chance to win a prize with a minimum donation to the Annual Fund for Academic Excellence. Far from the token giveaways of a calendar, address labels, or a t-shirt, we have offered a Kindle or Kindle Fire in the summer and a trip to Mexico in the winter for the past two years, and will do so again this year. “It’s the veritable win-win-win situation,” says Marjory Sente, Vice President for Institutional Advancement. “We get a good number of people making donations, small

The Kindle Fire promotion ended in June with the mother of alumna Jennifer Sauter ’00, Martha Sauter, walking away with the prize. “I fell in love with Prescott and the College while my daughter was there. The whole premise of learning is so special. I would have loved it as a college student,” Martha says. “Of course I will continue my support, and I wish everyone at the College well.”
