Dear Daniels Community, I am pleased to present this annual report on the state of the Daniels College of Business. As we enter the third year of Daniels tomorrow—one of the most comprehensive strategic plans in Daniels’ 102-year history—I am eager to report our tremendous progress on our journey to better define the future of the College and elevate our reputation as a premier business institution. today, the Daniels community is embarking on the second phase of this six-year process, which we have aptly titled “unleashing our Creativity.” We’ve made great strides toward realizing our seven strategic goals. We’ve developed many new action plans that will help Daniels achieve sustainable success. And while we have much work ahead of us, I am very proud to share that we have completed approximately half of the 363 action steps that were active in the 2009–2010 school year, all while conducting our day-to-day responsibilities.

An effort of this magnitude requires significant financial resources, and thankfully, we have great support.

In March 2010, the university of Denver committed $13 million to Daniels over the next several years to help us achieve the goals of Daniels tomorrow. We also spent the spring planning the Daniels portion of ASCenD: the Campaign for the university of Denver. Daniels has already raised over $45 million in the silent phase of the campaign. our goal for the public phase is to raise an additional $55 million for a total of $100 million by the end of 2014. You will hear more about this campaign in the coming months. Without the generosity of our greatest ally—the university—our development as a world-class institution would not be possible. I am excited to share more about our progress these past 12 months within this annual report.

As we continue working toward achieving our vision to transform lives, communities and organizations, I wish to recognize the dedicated members of our community. the steadfastness of our faculty and staff, the visionary entrepreneurship of our alumni and the collaborative passion of our partners and friends will continue to build Daniels into one of the best colleges of business in the world.

With warm regards,

Christine M. Riordan, phD Dean, Daniels College of Business

At the Daniels College of Business the everyday actions of our community truly exemplify our belief that there is a greater purpose to business—that enterprise should be a driving force behind change in the world.

We prepare leaders for the ever-evolving global marketplace with a rigorous and relevant business curriculum and foster in our students a commitment to stewardship and ethics. the extensive Daniels tomorrow strategic planning process that began in fall 2008 involved an in-depth review of our College during which we identified many areas of strength, challenges and opportunities for the future. We developed a bold vision: To be a premier private business college globally recognized as a leader whose educational experiences, outreach, and knowledge creation transform lives, organizations and communities.

Right after our Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB-International) accreditation was affirmed in spring 2010, we continued our work on the mission, which we began in fall 2009. A focus group of faculty, staff and students conducted thought-provoking discussion and helped us develop a draft mission statement. this statement was presented and revised by the Management Council (the team

of academic chairs and directors and senior staff of the College) on two occasions and reviewed by various internal and external stakeholders.

the plan: Reevaluate and refine our teaching practices and curriculum to ensure all Daniels programs are of the highest quality, value and excellence. the progress: Daniels has several signature case competitions that continue to gain regional and national prominence—and new competitions arise often, adding to the multitude of learning opportunities for students and corporate participants. We are developing new partnerships within our Global opportunity program that will give students even greater opportunities to work with organizations around the world. We launched a new one-year MBA program in the Fall 2009 quarter and an MBA concentration in school leadership in the Spring 2010 quarter. We are developing a new world executive program, and we are making improvements to our other MS, MBA and undergraduate programs through curricular and co-curricular adjustments. our progress continues to be reflected in our national rankings, such as our 2010 BusinessWeek ranking of no. 74 among the nation’s undergraduate business programs and our 2009 U.S. News & World Report ranking of no. 70 among part-time MBA programs at AACSB-accredited business schools.

Daniels is known for our experiential learning, global opportunities, ethical framework and focus on interdisciplinary teaching. We actively develop new programs and co-curricular opportunities—and enhance and improve existing ones—to best prepare our graduates to become skilled and ethical leaders. Read further about some of the hallmarks of our degree and other programs and our steps forward in each of these areas this past year.

Case Competitions Daniels’ commitment to hands-on learning is evident in the many case competitions in which our students participate. We encourage students to get involved in case competitions throughout their undergraduate and graduate educations—and we strive to develop new case competition opportunities—as they allow students to apply business knowledge gained in the classroom to real-world business situations, often receiving guidance from experienced business leaders. In 2009–2010, Daniels students participated in several competitions, including:

Inclusive Excellence Case Competition P.E.A.K. (Pursuing Entrepreneurship Advancing Knowledge) Challenge Entrepreneurship Case Competition Commitment to More Global Opportunities This past year, Daniels developed a plan to expand our globalization efforts, including the Global Opportunity (GO) program. GO programs immerse graduate students in international cultures to engage in real-world projects for global organizations such as Newmont Mining and Deutsche Bank. GO attracts MBA and other graduate students, many of whom use the experience to meet the project requirement for the MBA Enterprise Solutions course. This year, Daniels committed more institutional support to GO, hiring a manager of experiential learning to oversee and coordinate GO and other international and experiential trips. In addition, the GO team is developing new corporate partnerships that will lead to additional project engagements with organizations that face real opportunities and challenges around the world.

Fu ll-ti m e m ba Ranked no. 3 in the world for small MBA programs, and no. 20 in the world overall by Beyond Grey Pinstripes, for integrating social and environmental issues in its MBA program in 2009.

In the Fall 2009 quarter, the College revised the Full-time MBA format to be a cohorted program—one in which students start in groups and progress through the program together. this lockstep approach to the traditional full-time program model allows students to develop closer relationships with their peers, resulting in stronger networks when they graduate. And the response has been tremendous—the program’s first cohort group has given high praise to the new MBA program in their student evaluations. exeCutive mba In early 2010, Daniels launched an external benchmarking process, comparing the Daniels eMBA program to that of 15 peer colleges of business across the country. this process is crucial to ensure that the Daniels curriculum is relevant, current and competitive and remains differentiated for those characteristics that make the College unique. the enhancements to the eMBA were introduced in the Fall 2010 quarter, including new courses in Business Context and economics, Business law and Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability, new Hot topic seminars and an experiential retreat in the final quarter of the program. proFessional mba launched in the Fall 2009 quarter, the Daniels professional MBA is a part-time, 24-month program designed for early- to mid-career

In 2009, the eMBA program was ranked by the Financial Times no. 35 in the nation and no. 85 in the world.

professionals. An overhaul of the former part-time MBA, the pMBA follows an integrated, sequential curriculum and offers two formats: weeknight and weekend classes. o n e -y e a r m b a In August 2010, Daniels launched a brand-new, full-time one-year MBA program for high-quality, pre-professional students to enter immediately after graduating with their bachelor’s degrees from an AACSB-accredited university. the Daniels one-year MBA is an 11-month program that builds on undergraduate skills and immerses students in the study and practice of business. like the other Daniels MBA programs, the 56-credithour program integrates the principles of business ethics and values-based leadership with a rigorous business curriculum. i ntern ati o n al m ba the International MBA program continues to enhance its programming by offering students unique global travel and learning opportunities.

DU World Executive Program This past year, the Director of the International MBA Doug Allen, Assistant Dean of Full-time MBA Programs David Cox and Associate Dean of Graduate Programs Richard Scudder began designing curriculum for a world executive program, which will integrate the core Daniels MBA curriculum with courses from the University of Denver’s Korbel School of International Studies and the Sturm College of Law. The program will be open to experienced professionals whose careers involve global issues.

MBA i n Sc h o o l L e a d e r s h i p In fall 2009, Daniels, the University’s Morgridge College of Education and GetSmartSchools joined forces to design a new MBA concentration in school leadership that produces educators who are prepared for the numerous challenges facing public schools. The new MBA in school leadership concentration launched in the Spring 2010 quarter.

E x e c u t i v e Ed u c a t i o n In early 2010, the University agreed to extract Executive Education noncredit revenues from the Daniels projected budget, which means it is its own profit-and-loss center. Any revenues from Executive Education now flow to Daniels—funds that can be used toward Daniels faculty and staff development and student support. In addition, the Executive Education team is developing new programs with new and existing corporate partners to add to its suite of corporate and leadership programs, seminar series and graduate business certificates. Executive Education delivered several customized programs to clients such as Newmont Mining, Kaiser Permanente, StarzEncore, ECC and Intrado.

The team also ran two cohorts of the High Performance Leadership Program, an intensive experience for business leaders.

U n d ergr aduate Pro gr a ms For the past year, the Office of Undergraduate Programs worked to restructure and improve curricular and co-curricular programming with the goal of continually enhancing the Daniels undergraduate experience. The Office welcomed a senior director and three undergraduate program advisors, introduced a new business minor for nonbusiness majors, expanded the Daniels Distinction Honors Program and launched Backpacks to Briefcases. As of that same quarter, all Daniels undergraduates and business minors must take two “gateway” courses: Foundations of Business Management and Foundations of Business Law. Finally, beginning in the fall 2010 quarter, undergraduates

In 2010, BusinessWeek ranked Daniels’ undergraduate business program No. 74 in the nation—the highest in Colorado. Daniels was also ranked No. 3 in ethics, No. 27 in accounting and No. 31 in marketing in BusinessWeek’s 2010 Best Undergraduate Business Programs by Specialty ranking.

who wish to major in business must apply to Daniels in the fall of their sophomore year. This secondary admissions process will allow us to continue to offer small class sizes, strong student-faculty interactions and rigorous academics to high-achieving students.

the plan: Support our faculty’s scholarly pursuits and conduct impactful research that helps solve business and community issues. the progress: Daniels appointed a director of research and accreditation in fall 2009, and added support for faculty research through summer grants and course releases. We developed a strategic hiring plan to position the College for future growth. We also began a comprehensive evaluation of the Daniels Scholarship Document to support the actions of the College.

10

to ensure Daniels continues to be a leader in teaching cutting-edge business practices—and in shaping and educating business professionals—it is imperative that we foster a culture of scholarship, encouraging our faculty to conduct and publish impactful research. e x pa n D e D l e a D e rs h i p professor paul olk, Department of Management, was appointed Daniels first director of research and accreditation at the College in october 2009.

Dr. olk has organized the Daniels Colloquium Series since 2005. Along with Dr. olk’s new role, Drs. Glyn Hanbery and Charles patti laid the groundwork for additional support for research, scholarship and faculty development. Dr. Hanbery, senior associate dean, and Dr. patti, James M. Cox professor of Customer experience Management, began a comprehensive evaluation of the Daniels Scholarship Document and processes.

Collaborating with many others, our new leadership is moving the College toward meeting this strategic goal.

Daniels Develops hiring plan

i n v e s t i n G i n FaC u lt y D e v e lo pm e n t From the first day on campus through retirement, Daniels provides support and resources for our faculty. For new faculty members, there are a series of trainings conducted through the university and the College. new assistant faculty members are also mentored by a more senior faculty member through their first few years as they work to achieve tenure. ongoing professional development workshops are held throughout the year on such topics as academic honesty, risk management, fundraising, inclusive excellence, faculty evaluations and faculty hiring, among others. the dean and associate deans also meet quarterly as a group with associate and assistant faculty members to discuss academic research progress. r e a l i G n e D s C h o l a rs h i p D o C u m e n t a n D FaC u lt y s ys t e m s Daniels is in the process of revising our Scholarship Document, addressing the proper balance of teaching, scholarship and service among our faculty. We are aligning the Daniels faculty systems—including those involving performance evaluations, academic and professional qualifications, and promotion and tenure standards—with our mission, vision, strategic plan and with the expectations of the university and the AACSB.

exceptional teacher-scholars contribute to the learning environment at Daniels, and thus, we must strategically hire faculty who will support the essential actions underway. Between now and 2014, Daniels will hire at least 25 new faculty members. Several hires are planned for the following areas in 2010–2011.

the plan: Build upon Daniels’ strong reputation for three distinct areas: ethics, social responsibility and sustainability; globalization; and innovation, entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship. the progress: In fall 2009, Daniels established the Institute for enterprise ethics, under which the Carl M. Williams Business ethics partnership and Center for Sustainability were created. In early 2010, Daniels appointed a director of ethics integration and joined seven other business schools to form the Daniels Fund ethics Initiative. Daniels is also exploring new programs and initiatives focused on innovation, entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship, including a new MS in entrepreneurship and more social entrepreneurship partnerships. And finally, Daniels hired a new director of globalization, who—together with Daniels leadership—began the development of a comprehensive global strategy for the College.

12

The Daniels Intersection—ethics, social responsibility and sustainability; entrepreneurship and innovation; and globalization —is emerging as a hallmark of the Daniels experience. This year, we refined our focus on these areas of collaboration.

Read more about recent developments throughout the College to help promote these key Daniels distinctions.

Eth i cs, So c ial Resp o nsi bi lit y an d Sustai n abi lit y Daniels launched the Institute for Enterprise Ethics in the Fall 2009 quarter with Dr. Stephen Martin of the Department of Business Ethics and Legal Studies as the executive director. The Institute focuses on the integration of ethical, socially responsible and sustainable leadership practices into the fabric of corporate culture. Within the Institute, The Carl M. Williams Business Ethics Partnership brings together business leaders as well as faculty and researchers from major universities to generate and share knowledge and educational resources on ethical business practices (Directors: Dr. Stephen Martin and Dr. James O’Toole). The Center for Sustainability fosters dialogue among business and society about sustainability, seeking to promote best practices and constructive ideas about sustainable development strategies (Executive Director: Dr. Bruce Hutton).

Daniels appointed Dr. Bruce Hutton as director of ethics integration in January 2010 to coordinate the integration of ethics, corporate social responsibility and sustainable development into the curriculum of all Daniels programs.

Finally, in January 2010, Daniels joined seven other colleges of business to form the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative, a consortium to develop and enhance ethics-based programs for business students at eight universities. The Daniels Fund will donate $7.5 million over the next five years and collaborate with the colleges as they incorporate and enhance ethics education into their curriculums. “These eight colleges represent the four states that Bill Daniels cared so deeply about,” says Dr. Hutton, who serves on the initiative. “Supporting ethics in business through such a collaborative effort truly extends his legacy.”

The latest publication of the Institute of Enterprise Ethics

This past year, Daniels engaged in preliminary discussions about a new MS degree in entrepreneurship. We also made modifications to the MBA concentration in entrepreneurship and innovation to better serve the needs of our students. We are exploring the potential for future programs, partnerships and events related to social entrepreneurship.

Glo baliz ati o n Daniels has always emphasized a global approach and continues to assess global opportunities that will drive the College forward.

This year, we conducted a College-wide globalization audit to inform a new globalization strategy. This 108-page audit document details every department’s global activities, connections and areas of interest. As a result, we identified key areas of the world in which to develop a deeper footprint. Our globalization strategy will create a framework for international engagement. This long-term plan of international stakeholder relationship-building efforts will integrate and focus our international activities, raise the College’s international visibility and reputation, deepen our international engagement, and ensure that we are fiscally responsible and maximize the return on investments.

Daniels plans to appoint faculty country managers who have strong contacts in key areas to help strengthen relationships across the globe.

We also hosted the first Inclusive excellence Case Competition, pairing students with corporations and inviting them to solve real-world inclusive excellence issues. the spring also marked the official launch of the Daniels Corporate partners program with more than 50 companies and organizations as well as the revival and expansion of the Daniels executive Advisory Board.

Finally, to engage more corporate partners, faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends, Daniels hosted a variety of new community events, informal gatherings, alumni programs and more.

Inclusive Excellence Commit tee Daniels and DU are committed to multicultural excellence through inclusiveness. Dean Riordan appointed an Inclusive Excellence Committee— composed of 17 Daniels stakeholders—who arranged to train the entire Daniels community on the topic. Many of the initiatives set forth in the committee’s comprehensive business plan are already underway—all of which strive to make Daniels a welcoming and inclusive college of business that attracts talented individuals from a variety of backgrounds. In May 2010, Daniels was honored at the annual Center for Multicultural Excellence’s Profiles in Excellence Awards Ceremony, receiving the University of Denver’s 2009–2010 Award for Outstanding Achievement in Inclusive Excellence. Finally, the College hosted its first Inclusive Excellence Case Competition in April 2010, which invited four companies to write a case involving a real inclusive excellence issue in their organizations for student teams to address. Each corporation mentored two student teams.

Daniels strives to create a welcoming and inclusive college of business that attracts talented individuals from a variety of backgrounds.

Participants chose from three themes: Community of Choice, Inclusive Excellence and We Are Daniels. Undergraduate students Ari Feldman and Jerad Larkin tied for first place and MBA student Devin Odom took third.

Community Engagement Each fall, Daniels hosts a Welcome Back BBQ, Industry Week and other community-building events. The spring brings Daniels Week, seven days of activities to celebrate the founding of the College on April 24. Throughout the year, our community connects and engages in a multitude of ways—at formal events, through speaker series and at informal gatherings.

BuIlD FInancIal anD ResouRce stRength

the plan: Strengthen our support system and identify new ways to build endowment monies, secure new gifts and become more cost efficient. the progress: Daniels spent spring 2010 preparing for ASCenD, a universitywide fundraising campaign launched in fall 2010. In May 2010, the School of Hotel, Restaurant and tourism Management was given a generous $7.5 million gift from Betty Knoebel, widow of Fritz Knoebel of nobel/ Sysco Food Services, consequently renaming it the Fritz Knoebel School of Hospitality Management. And in the summer of 2010, we made many improvements to the Daniels building that ensure our facilities continue to be state-of-the-art.

18

Financial resource strength is crucial to drive and implement change at Daniels. Over the past 18 months, we developed a long-term financial strategy that will support the considerable goals put forth by Daniels Tomorrow.

Two specific areas of progress are highlighted below.

Fac i l i t i e s u p g r a d e s When the Daniels College of Business building was constructed in 1999, it was carefully designed to foster teamwork and collaboration and boasted advanced technology and infrastructure, including more than 3,000 data and voice ports, wireless access throughout and an electronic business research center. The Knoebel School of Hospitality Management’s building, constructed in 2006, is a state-of-the art facility—considered one of the best in the country for hospitality education.

This past summer, we invested in a series of important upgrades that will ensure Daniels meets the needs of our students and that faculty and staff are able to secure technological applications and interfaces as they become available. These improvements include new carpet and paint throughout the Daniels building, and several remodeled areas: » Technology and Facilities: New offices and work area for Daniels Technology Services and Facilities, a new backup data center and a new webinar conference room » Student Services: New offices, a new reception area and a new student, faculty and staff lounge » Common and general-use areas: Reupholstered leather furniture in Marcus Commons and permanent outdoor café-style furniture on the west Daniels patio and east and west Margery Reed patios E x p a n di n g o u r f u n dr a i s i n g r e a c h In fall 2010, the University launched ASCEND, a fundraising campaign that will continue through DU’s 150th anniversary in 2014.

To support ASCEND and provide the funding that will help make the vision of Daniels Tomorrow a reality, we developed five key funding priorities. These are: 1. Create Innovative and Market Relevant Learning Experiences 2. Compete in a Global World 3. Attract and Support Talent 4. Be Known as a Community of Choice 5. Build a State-of-the-Art Learning Environment Daniels has already raised over $45 million in the silent phase of the campaign. Our goal for the public phase is to raise an additional $55 million for a total of $100 million by the end of 2014. Learn more at daniels.du.edu/ascend.

the plan: Align the operations of the College with the Daniels tomorrow plan in order to have the most effective management structure possible. the progress: to ensure Daniels is organized in the most effective and efficient way, over the past 18 months, we carried out a reorganization process to reassign responsibilities to new areas, eliminate gaps, revisit the budget and establish a culture of accountability. each department, school and support unit developed strategic plans that they will review annually, and all will measure their progress on new Daniels Scorecards. perhaps the most notable progress in the area of academics is that of Daniels’ undergraduate programs, which began a full curriculum redesign.

Also, in early 2010, the office of undergraduate programs hired a senior director and three program advisors. undergraduate programs delivered innovative programs, fun community-building events and other co-curricular programming throughout the 2009–2010 year.

At the outset of the Daniels Tomorrow process, we examined every area of the College, identified many action plans and established metrics to measure our progress. Our organizational infrastructure is the foundation of our success. In 2009–2010, we made structural improvements to ensure we are able to achieve our objectives and that our goals are aligned with those of the University. Below are just some of our accomplishments.

N e w S u pp o r t i n U n d e r g r a d u a t e P r o g r a m s The Daniels undergraduate program began a comprehensive curriculum redesign in the past year, including new gateway courses, new co-curricular programs and more. To support these initiatives, Daniels expanded the Office of Undergraduate Programs and hired a new senior director—Daniel Garza—who leads the teams responsible for academic and career advising, co-curricular programming, secondary admissions and student engagement. Undergraduate Programs also welcomed three new undergraduate program advisors who will provide academic advice and degree management services to students.

R e o r g a n iz a t i o n Daniels made many necessary institutional changes to foster a culture of accountability and trust—and most important, to ensure we are organized in an effective, efficient way. Nearly every function of the College was reorganized; we reviewed the roles and responsibilities of our staff, assigned new management responsibilities to the appropriate areas, eliminated gaps and overlaps in those responsibilities and realigned our budget to account for such changes. We also refined the top-level governance of the College by restructuring and reinvigorating the dean team, management and academic councils. Also, our faculty and staff support key College functions through their work on several cross-functional committees:

Daniels also restructured our relationships with University Technology Services, the Center for Teaching and Learning and the Penrose Library to eliminate duplicate efforts and better align with one another. Finally, we established annual reporting and strategic planning processes for all areas of the College. All programs and departments completed their own annual reports—which aligned with the overall College plan—by July 31, 2010.

Str ateg i c Pl ans fo r All U n its In the 2009–2010 school year, all departments, schools and support units (such as the Office of Communications and Marketing and the Suitts Center for Graduate Career Services) developed their own strategic plans that support the Daniels Tomorrow plan. All academic units completed their plans

by December 31, 2009, and all other programs completed theirs by March 31, 2010. All programs and functions will revisit their progress in 2011.

to all faculty and staff each fall, beginning in the Fall 2010 quarter. Scorecards are organized by program or function, measure current-year performance with the 2014 goal, and measure current-year performance with the prior year to determine upward, downward or neutral movement.

the plan: Define the Daniels College of Business as a premier business institution by strengthening our brand, public relations strategy, national rankings and community engagement, and by sharing Daniels’ key differentiators and the successes of our faculty, students and alumni with the world. the progress: In 2009–2010, the College aimed to amplify the Daniels brand through internal and external marketing and enrollment campaigns, and media visits across the country. the College executed an enhanced communications plan, created a new stakeholder e-newsletter, redesigned the semiannual magazine and revamped the Daniels website. Daniels’ rankings reflected the significant progress in this area. the College was ranked by several high-profile publications and organizations in 2010, including BusinessWeek, U.S. News & World Report, Public Accounting Report and Beyond Grey pinstripes.

We were also reaccredited by the AACSB.

One of our most important assets is our reputation. The work we do on the previous six strategic goals is critical to delivering the best programs possible and building collaborative partnerships capable of changing the world.

We must communicate our successes to elevate the Daniels name as a thought and action leader. This year, Daniels made great strides in spreading the word about that which makes us an extraordinary institution in the following ways: R e a c c r e di t a t i o n In spring 2010, the AACSB Maintenance of Accreditation Committee recommended that the University of Denver be reaffirmed as an accredited college of business and school of accountancy. This process involved more than 100 people from the University community, including DU Chancellor Robert Coombe, Provost Gregg Kvistad, DU trustees, Daniels board members, staff, faculty, students and alumni. DU has been continuously accredited by the AACSB since 1923, and the School of Accountancy is one of fewer than 175 AACSB-accredited accounting

In the Fall 2009 quarter, we executed an ambitious communications plan to engage Daniels stakeholders and deepen our connections.

F orbes: Daniels microfinance class listed as one of the 10 Most Innovative Business School Classes (2010)

In October, we delivered our first issue of BizNotes, a new bimonthly e-newsletter for alumni, corporate partners and friends in which we share news about Daniels programs, students, alumni, awards, faculty research and much more. After months of research and examining the best business school publications, we also produced two issues of the newly designed Daniels Business Review, our semiannual magazine.

Enrollment Marketing Campaign : : In summer/fall 2009, Daniels engaged in a national graduate enrollment marketing campaign to generate awareness among early- and mid-career professionals about Daniels’ MBA programs and specialized MS programs. We took an innovative approach to reaching prospective students, conducting in-depth research on our main target audience: Generation Y. We tailored a campaign to effectively reach this audience, promoting the real faces of our College by featuring Daniels students and alumni speaking in their own voices.

We advertised in places such as weather.com (to attract those who search Denver weather) and pandora.com (a popular site among this population). Overall, the campaign successfully reached new prospects across the country.

New Daniels Website : : In August 2009, the Daniels website re-launched after a six-month renovation. The new website features streamlined navigation and simple design, making it easier than ever for visitors to find what they are looking for. The site includes more multimedia—videos, slide shows, virtual tours—as well as program microsites and much more. In spring 2010, we conducted three graduate student focus groups to gain students’ comments and suggestions on the overall usability of the new site. Our newly renovated site was named best in show by an independent usability study panel conducted by OneUpWeb.com.

Public Relations : : Daniels proactively shared our story and successes this year with national mainstream media and higher education publications to promote the Daniels brand—in the U.S. and internationally. This year, Daniels made media visits to New York City and Washington, D.C., to meet with editors from the Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Ed, USA Today, Diverse magazine,

the James J. and Jean B. Johnston Endowed Scholarship fund of the many superb professors who have graced the halls of the Daniels College of Business, James “JJ” Johnston (1921–2008) is one of the most remembered for his wit, his inspirational quotes, and above all, his love of students. that affection, says his widow, Jean, is what drove JJ to establish a scholarship fund in 1996—with Jean herself and friends Clinton (BSBA, 1949) and Billie Gerlach (Clint was a former student of JJ’s). together, the foursome pooled $10,000 to start the fund.

“We wanted to give back in gratitude for all that Du had done for us,” says Jean, a retired middle-school librarian in the Cherry Creek School District. “Helping students was Jim’s favorite endeavor and it certainly is mine.”

Since 1996, hundreds of alumni have donated to the James J. and Jean B. Johnston endowed Scholarship Fund in JJ’s name, raising more than $1.1 million. Close to 175 scholarships have been awarded, and awards range from $1,000 to as much as $10,000.

JJ was known for his sincere interest in the well-being of his students, personally and academically. Jean says that he would often host tutoring sessions for student athletes who needed help catching up after travelling. “Jim loved Daniels so much and the students so much. His door was perpetually open.” through the years, students wrote the couple to express their gratitude for the financial assistance. “this is truly the gift that keeps on giving,” says Jean. “Knowing that we’ve been able to help so many students is so very rewarding. We believe in the Daniels education and want as many students as possible to continue in it.”

understanding the true Impact

Gabe Keeler, BSBa international Business, class of 2012 Chancellor Scholarship Awardee Carl Meyer Scholarship Awardee Benson Memorial Scholarship Awardee upon acceptance to the university in Denver, Gabe Keeler received the prestigious Chancellor Scholarship. In his sophomore year, Keeler faced leaving the university due to personal financial struggles and explored other financial aid options that would make it possible for him to continue attending Du—the school he’d grown to love. luckily, two additional scholarships helped Keeler close the financial gap.

After freshman year, a few one-year scholarships I’d received as a high school senior went away, and I knew I was in trouble. My dad had lost his job, and it looked like I was going to need to transfer. But I loved it here so much. I got in touch with Marilyn Hughes, who helped me find other sources of funding that made it possible for me to stay here. She and others took a special interest in me, and for that I’m so grateful.

If I ever have the opportunity to meet the people who donated to or created these scholarships, I think the first thing I’d do is give them a huge hug—that’s just me.

But more seriously, I want people to know that I wouldn’t be here still if it wasn’t for these scholarships. I can’t thank you enough. I’m still not quite sure how I can articulate my gratitude, but I’ll be trying to do so forever.

My sincere thanks, Gabe Keeler Gabe Keeler 30

– Harry Trueblood

half to the School of Accountancy and half to students pursuing entrepreneurship.

From 1958 to 1988, Harry was busy as Ceo of his primary company, Consolidated oil & Gas—along with seven other publicly traded companies that were spun off or separately created—but he always believed in supporting education. “My philosophy is that if we could educate the world, we wouldn’t have any problems,” he says, adding that he still credits G.I. Bill funding that he received upon returning from World War II for making it possible for him to finish his own degree at the university of texas, Austin, in three years instead of five. “that’s the whole purpose of the foundation. We want to give partial scholarships to hardworking students who could use a little bit of help.”

Harry’s son, John, is now the president of the family foundation, and says that he shares his father’s vision. “education really does change lives, and I have yet to discover anything else that is consistently successful in doing so,” says John.

Sarah fisher, mBa candidate, Spring 2011 Daniels Graduate Business Scholarship Scurci Scholarship When Sarah Fisher set her sights on the Daniels College of Business, she knew she would need financial help and was thrilled to be awarded two prestigious scholarships— funding that made it possible for her to pursue her MBA. one day, Sarah says, she hopes she can return the favor and donate to a scholarship program for students walking in similar shoes.

When I started looking into funding options, I was absolutely ecstatic when I received the call offering me a graduate assistant (GA) position and the Scurci Scholarship. These literally made business school possible for me. Last year, I was able to focus on my studies without having to also maintain a full-time job, which has allowed me to immerse myself in the program. And truly, being a GA in the Institute for Leadership and Organizational Performance has been one of the most impactful and meaningful educational experiences.

Sarah Fisher

I cannot thank the people who funded my scholarships enough. Being a Daniels student has been the opportunity of a lifetime, and I have them to thank for getting me here. I look forward to giving back to a future student who needs financial help like I did.

A heartfelt thank-you, Sarah Fisher
