2019 ANNUAL REPORT

MESSAGE FROM FOUNDATION CHAIR

Serving in my second year as board chair of the CSUMB Foundation, it has been a privilege to represent our community in this important role.

The Foundation Board is comprised of a diverse and talented group of community leaders who are committed to helping this university grow and flourish and it has truly been a pleasure to serve with them in this capacity.

CSUMB, currently celebrating its 25th anniversary, has come a long way since emerging from a decommissioned army base in 1994. The campus now serves over 7,000 students per year while growing its total alumni to over 20,000. The campus’ story is unique, and as the university evolves its impact in the Monterey Bay communities and beyond is now undeniable. The university has become deeply interwoven in to the tapestry of our community, and we are all better for it.

I want to commend all of the supporters in our community who have helped make this university and its growth possible. This annual report showcases three visionary community leaders who have invested transformative gifts that will usher in a new era for the campus. These gifts will increase educational access to underserved communities as well as provide necessary classroom and lab space to support world-class STEM instruction.

Thank you to the board members and to the staff of the university who are dedicated to making education a priority in our community.

LARGEST SINGLE GIFT IN CSUMB HISTORY ROBERT DARWIN

R

obert Darwin has accumulated a treasure trove of experiences over the course of his long and fruitful life. He’s been a screenwriter, an actor and a filmmaker, then an investor, an author, a pilot and an art collector. He’s had close friendships and torrid romances with a number of celebrities, and, like most people, faced grief, heartbreak and the loss of loved ones along the way. He followed his dreams to Hollywood as a young man, but left, disillusioned, a decade later to pursue a career in high business and finance. Now in his 90s, his mind is still sharp, his heart remains open, and his social calendar is full. He’s made the most of the life he’s been given, and when he passes, he has decided that his legacy will provide the starting point for a number of deserving CSUMB students from disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue their own dreams.

In the largest single gift in the history of the university, Darwin will donate his multimillion dollar estate to CSUMB for scholarships. He chose this avenue for his legacy because he grew up as the product of immigrant parents himself, and wishes to see other children from similar circumstances succeed in their lives as well. He believes that higher education provides the best path towards achieving that goal.

“I want my money to go to worthy and talented kids who could have never gotten into college in any other way” he said.

Darwin believes in the American dream and the transformative power of education because of his own personal experience while growing up in an immigrant community in New Jersey. Darwin’s parents came to the U.S. from eastern Europe. His father was Ukrainian and his mother Austrian, and

they eloped to the United States in the early 1920s, fleeing the desolation and resulting unrest from the end of World War I. Darwin was born in 1926. He grew up during the Great Depression and witnessed unbelievable poverty firsthand. However, Darwin’s parents had a key advantage over those of his peers: education. His father had attended the university in Warsaw, where he studied finance and learned to read, write and speak nine languages. Thanks to his father’s savvy investing expertise, his family didn’t despair or lose everything like other families did when the market crashed. “Luckily for us, my dad was smarter than the rest of them,” said Darwin. “He cashed in on the obvious and never bought anything on margin.”

Darwin was very close to his father. Beginning when he was as young as 4, his father judiciously discussed all of his investments with him and Darwin absorbed every word. His father researched companies carefully, sharing their materials with his son, then having the boy critique the company for him. Throughout the early ’30s, Darwin's father only invested in blue chip companies. Thus, when the economy improved during World War II, his fortune became a reality.

In 1944, Darwin was drafted into the U.S. Navy, where he attended what is now the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey. More importantly, however, the beauty of the Monterey Peninsula gave him the opportunity to fall in love with California. “I knew that after the war, this is where I wanted to spend the rest of my life,” he said.

Darwin was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1948, and then attended Rutgers University where he followed in his father’s footsteps and studied business and finance. But throughout his life, Darwin

ROBERT DARWIN

also had a talent and love for writing. When one of his professors recruited him for a part in a play, he became interested in show biz. Following his graduation, Darwin asked for his father’s permission to defer a career in finance and move to Hollywood first, to try his hand at screenwriting. His father agreed, along with the caveat that he return to the business sector in the event he did not succeed.

Darwin spent the next decade in the film industry, hobnobbing with the icons of the golden age of Hollywood. He first worked as an actor just to earn a living, then a screenwriter, and eventually he wrote and directed his own motion picture. During that process, however, he learned that the inner workings of the industry were not to his liking: “Hollywood is totally corrupt, both sexually and financially, and it always was and always will be.” His experiences with both the glamour and the corruption are detailed in his new book, Hard on Hollywood. Though Darwin retained lasting friendships with megastars like Sammy Davis Jr. and Vivian Leigh, he was pleased to leave Tinseltown and all of its unscrupulous machinations behind him.

In 1967 he met and formed a business partnership with the late John Hernstadt. “We were in business together for 40 years and, unbelievably, it was all based on a handshake,” said Darwin. The two of them combined their assets, creating an investment pool sufficient to buy a number of highly desirable properties, including the Carmel Valley ranch where Darwin still resides today. Ultimately, it was this series of high-value real estate investments across the western states that made Darwin his fortune. It also allowed Darwin the ability to fulfill a lifelong dream of learning how to fly. He earned all of his pilot’s ratings, including his jet aircraft rating, thus allowing him to manage all of their property investments on a firsthand basis.

It was during this period that Darwin met Polly De Leon, a hard working and determined young woman who became the key inspiration for his gift to the university. Polly was an undocumented immigrant worker from Mexico who dreamed of becoming a U.S. citizen, raising a family, and sending her children to college. Darwin hired her as his housekeeper, they became close friends, and she remained in

his employ for over 25 years. She met and married another Mexican immigrant, Aquilino Zarazua, who first came to the U.S. in 1945 as a “bracero”, a migrant worker or day laborer. Before long the two of them saved enough money to buy a house in the valley.

They went on to become U.S. citizens and raise three daughters. Eventually, all three girls earned their college degrees and the oldest one, Blanca Zarazua, is now a tax attorney and specialist in immigration law.

In Darwin’s words, “Polly did what she always strove to do. That’s what I call success...and if my money can help one more kid earn the same kind of success in life that Polly achieved for her children, then I will know that I didn’t do it in vain,” he said. “That will be my reward.”

It may still be a while before the university is able to collect this gift, though. At 93, Darwin is still in good health and strong spirits. He’s busy working on two more books — another memoir called Fragments, about his non-Hollywood years, and Yuri, a blockbuster accounting of his father’s escape from the Bolsheviks.

“There’s great longevity in my family. My grandmother lived to be 113, and she only died because she slipped on the ice, broke her hip and froze to death before anyone found her. Obviously, she had a great ride in her life and I’ve inherited her good genes to prove it,” he said.

Thanks to his generosity, many students will get a well-earned boost on their own journeys through life. In conclusion, he said, “Life may just be a bowl of cherries to some, but if I can ease the journey for others, I can guarantee you will have a better ride and a greater success...and there is nothing more important in your lives than that.”

JULIE PACKARD VISIONARY FOR THE MONTEREY BAY “It’s more important than ever that we continue to support learning institutions,” she says. “The future of the state, our economy, and the lives of all of us depend on it.”

8 | CSUMB

JULIE PACKARD

Seeking sustainable solutions has been Julie Packard’s life work, a mission she’s approached on many fronts over the course of her career. When she and a small group of marine scientists founded the Monterey Bay Aquarium, a defining aspect of their vision was to display not just individual species, but the ocean communities collectively made up of plants, animals, sun, wind and waves. Packard knows the health of the whole depends on all the elements working together. This principle drives her approach to creating change—as the Aquarium’s executive director, as board chair of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, and as a philanthropist.

She recognizes the important role universities play in building healthy communities. Packard has supported CSUMB through every major milestone in its history, contributing both through personal gifts and advocating for grants from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.

“Monterey Bay is ground zero for ocean research and education. There’s endless opportunity for learning and collaboration around the bay,” she says.

“The university adds to the robust array of marine science institutions we have and provides a fantastic opportunity for a new cohort of students to take advantage of all the bay has to offer.”

Packard is especially glad to support CSUMB as a designated Hispanic-serving institution. “We need diversity in STEM fields and we need to provide access for students of color in the region and throughout California,” she says. “And we need to help those students navigate the university experience in order to be successful.”

Packard recalls “living in the library” during her time studying marine biology at UC Santa Cruz. The space provided more than just books—it was the hub where she built connections among her fellow students and faculty. For her, that sense of community was just as critical to her academic success as the courses she was taking. That’s why she advocated for the Packard Foundation to make a major gift to the Tanimura & Antle Family Memorial Library at the time of its construction.

Later, she gave again to house an archive of local congressman Sam Farr’s papers in the library, established as "The Farr Legacy Collection". “Sam is a great supporter of ocean science and conservation,” she says. “Preserving and making available his archives has a lot of value. Others can learn a lot from his policy work around coastal and ocean science and

planning. California has been a leader in that domain, thanks to those like Sam who were working on these issues early on.”

Packard is no stranger to policy work herself.

Engaging with government and policymakers has been a major focus of her efforts on behalf of the ocean, as she’s called on the aquarium and its supporters to take courageous action in the face of grave threats such as climate change, overfishing and plastic pollution. She served on a national ocean commission, worked closely with Secretary of State John Kerry to advance international ocean policy, and has been a featured speaker at several global policy conferences addressing a range of ocean issues.

With the forthcoming proposal of a new building on campus to house expanded programs in the College of Science, Packard recognized another opportunity to prepare CSUMB students to participate in sciencebased policy work.

“I personally supported a feasibility study to look at the NOAA Sanctuary offices moving there,” she says.

“They’ve been an important and wonderful presence on the bay, and they haven’t had a permanent home.

“It made sense to look at them being co-located on campus. A lot of the students are involved in research that is relevant to the sanctuary, and it would expose students to different types of government jobs in resource management.”

The new building proposal will also support degree programs in agricultural plant and soil science, and mechatronics engineering. A self-professed plant nerd, Packard keeps an apple orchard on her property and is well aware of the growing market demand for agricultural technology. “It’s a great opportunity to think about how to apply engineering and tech for sustainable solutions,” she says.

Through her strong support for CSUMB and its students, Packard is contributing toward her vision of a healthy, sustainable community ecosystem.

“I believe it’s important for everyone to be involved and contribute as generously as they can to the success of educational institutions in their community,” she says. “CSUMB has been a great addition. It has huge potential that can only be realized if all of us contribute to its continued growth.”

TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT BERTIE BIALEK ELLIOTT AND THE BERKSHIRE FOUNDATION Gifts from longtime CSUMB donor Bertie Bialek Elliott have had a transformative impact on the campus, but she sums up her philanthropic vision in simple terms: “I like to help my grandchildren, and I like to help other people’s grandchildren, too.”

Over the university’s 25-year history, Bertie has contributed to many initiatives: the Women’s Leadership Council and Scholarship Fund, the Tanimura & Antle Family Memorial Library, the TriCounty Scholarship Fund, and more. Her greatest impact has been on the College of Science.

This emphasis is due in large part to the legacy of her late husband, Hilton Bialek, who cared passionately about preparing local youth for good careers. He felt that science education in particular provided a solid pathway to employment opportunities.

In the university’s early days, Hilton and Bertie supported the construction of the first new academic building, the Chapman Science Academic Center, where a wing is named in their honor. The center is home to some of the university’s fastest growing programs in environmental science, marine science, and biology, as well as math and statistics.

In the coming years, the college will increase its offerings with two additional degree programs in agricultural plant and soil science and mechatronics engineering. These new programs will help meet the workforce demands of the area’s agriculture and burgeoning ag tech industries. To accommodate this expansion, plans are underway for a new academic building, dubbed Science Ⅱ.

When the university approached Bertie with the need for additional space, she was happy to help.

“The school has had good leadership in Presidents Ochoa, Harrison, and Smith,” she said. “That’s been important—it’s a tough job. The university is a living animal and thanks to that leadership it is still growing.”

Her gift in support of Science Ⅱ is her largest gift to the university to date, and will help provide additional classrooms, labs and faculty offices for professors and students.

In addition to supporting capital projects and scholarships, Bertie and her daughters–Carolyn, Susan, and Cynthia–have sponsored since 1999, the deeply meaningful Recruitment in Science Education (RISE) program through their Berkshire Foundation.

RISE began as Hilton’s idea. The concept was to prepare underserved local kids to pursue education and careers in science—starting in middle school.

They piloted it 20 years ago with 40 seventh graders from Salinas, Seaside, and Marina. The after-school program made science fun while providing students with guidance to complete high school and get into college. If a student remains in RISE through college acceptance, they receive a $1,000 scholarship.

Each year, Bertie attended the culmination ceremony, often with one or more of her daughters.

They watched the graduating high schoolers receive their scholarships and read out which college they’d be attending and what they hoped to major in.

Through RISE, Bertie and her daughters got a more intimate view of the impact their philanthropy has on the lives of individual students, and how that impact ripples back out to others.

“I’m always knocked out by the student’s show of gratitude to their family and the community that supports them,” said Bertie. “So often they express the desire to come back and help in their own communities. It touches me that they have such lovely feelings toward family and community, and a sense of responsibility to help others.”

ANNUAL REPORT 2019 | 11

BERTIE BIALEK ELLIOTT & THE BERKSHIRE FOUNDATION

Thanks to oversight and direction from Professor Sharon Anderson and RISE admissions counselor Eddie Chavez, the program evolved over time. True to scientific method, they kept refining the theory and paying close attention to the results. “We saw what worked and what didn’t,” said Bertie.

They kept the program capped at 40 students per class, but raised the age at which students entered the program and put more emphasis on enlisting the support of the students’ families. “Eddie’s been key in making a connection with the families,” said Bertie.

“It’s been a wonderful program.”

In the two decades since RISE began, several new federal programs have been developed with similar aims. Rather than provide duplicative services, RISE is evolving again, and will now help incoming CSUMB students from area high schools bolster their science and math skills over the summer. At its core, RISE remains committed to providing foundational

12 | CSUMB

science and math education that prepares local students to succeed in college.

“I believe public education is the backbone of our country. It’s how we keep talent coming up through our society,” said Bertie. “I think it’s a wonderful thing to have this university in our community whose top priority is serving students from this geographic area. To find kids who might not get there otherwise and give them a chance—to open those doors. It makes me very excited to be a part of that.”

Through her clear vision and committed leadership, Bertie is having a tremendous impact on a new generation of students.

WITH GRATITUDE A Special Thank You to Our University Supporters

Dear Friends and Supporters of CSUMB, As we move our annual report to publication, our team is working remotely. Homebound by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are all establishing our new normals. Looking back this past year we began with the celebration of our 25th anniversary and through the academic year, up until mid March, we continued to celebrate with community and campus events. We will be ending the academic year on a more somber note with the annual May Commencment postponed and the accompanying public celebrations and recognition of our students accomplishments sidelined by the global pandemic.

Yet this magazine carries stories of hope, vision and trust in our campus community that helps unite us going forward. These are stories of individuals and their own vision and belief in California State University, Monterey Bay reaching back to our founding.

Bertie Bialek Elliott, Julie Packard and Robert Darwin are philanthropists that place their confidence and trust in our university as a center of learning, transformation and innovation to allow us to change the trajectory of our students, faculty, campus buildings and programs with incredible gifts of generosity.

24 | CSUMB

We are extremely grateful to all of our donors and friends who have supported CSUMB this past year with your pledges, current use gifts and legacy gift commitments. These gifts allow our campus community to reach beyond the state budget toward opportunities that otherwise would not have been achieved.

Thank you all for your confidence in us, and together we will continue this success into our next 25 years!

All the best, Barbara Zappas Vice President of University Advancement Chief Executive Officer, Foundation of CSUMB
