Denver natives Phil and Shelley Tamminga each had their own unique path to the University of Denver, the place that holds so many special memories for the couple who met at a hockey game, dated through college and married after graduation. Growing up a mile from campus, Phil recalls DU hockey games, swimming in the old field house pool and sneaking onto the Pioneers football field as a kid. DU was a family legacy—his grandmother was one of the first women to earn a PhD in education from the University in the 1940s and later taught at the Women’s College. His father earned a business degree; his mother earned her bachelor’s, master’s and PhD degrees in sociology and also taught at DU. Phil received a BSBA, and a graduate teaching assistant position helped him continue on to earn an MBA. For Shelley, a trustee scholarship enabled her to attend DU, joining her brother there. She went on to graduate with a degree in psychology. “That scholarship made DU possible,” she says. After DU, Phil enjoyed a 24-year career at Accenture, where he got the company involved with Daniels. “I was responsible for Accenture’s recruiting program at Daniels, and I loved that,” says Phil. “I always felt the caliber of Daniels graduates was very high.” In 1998, then-Dean Jim Griesemer invited Phil to join the College’s Executive Advisory Board, on which he still serves. In addition, Phil and Shelley are members and co-chairs of the Dean’s Society—an elite group of Daniels donors who contribute $1,000 or more to the College annually. “We’ve always been fortunate and feel a responsibility to give back,” says Phil. “Over the years, we’ve been surrounded by others with the same belief, so the practice of giving back is a tenet of our lives. Supporting Daniels is important to us. We benefitted from others’ support of the University before us, and feel we should carry that obligation forward.”
