Another record-breaking number of students move onto the W.A. Lettinga Grand Rapids Campus

A message from the president

Families, students and educators all get a sense in fall that something exciting is happening. Of course, we’re learning all the time, but the start of a new academic year brings heightened optimism that what we learn and how we grow during formal educational experiences will propel positive changes in our lives.

The positive boost that comes from learning is what Davenport University is all about. In the last 15 years, our retention rate has increased more than 30%, and our graduation rate has improved by 163%. More than 90% of our graduates are employed in choice careers within six months of picking up their diploma.

Behind these statistics are people, Davenport alumni, who contribute to our businesses and nonprofits, who take care of us when we’re sick, who rise to leadership positions in their fields and in our communities. They provide for their families and are role models for the next generation. The degrees they earned at Davenport have enriched them personally and professionally and have given them confidence and opportunities they would not have had.

We’re optimistic about higher education and confident about our alumni! You’ll meet many in this issue of DU Review. We have a feature that includes the event coordinator for the Detroit Lions, the manager of Community Engagement at the Grand Rapids Art Museum, the owner of a boutique and a managing director at IMA Financial. We have a story about our First-Generation Student Success Initiative that has a peer mentorship program that clearly is working. Nearly 80% of students who participate continue at Davenport. That is in stark contrast to national research by EAB (formerly the Education Advisory Board) showing that 33% of first-generation students drop out within three years. Davenport University is proud of our impressive statistics and our accomplished graduates.

Statistics tell stories; people tell them better. People also make sure Davenport University and its students are supported and thriving. You can read about our Excellence in Business Gala that supports scholarships for our students and featured CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. Thank you to those who are involved with our ELEVATE Campaign, which is securing much-needed resources for students, our mental health initiatives and our online, bilingual

Casa Latina program that has its first enrolled students this fall. Your support allows Davenport to be innovative with unique programs like Casa Latina and be ready to move quickly with new degrees when employers tell us the skills they need to close the talent gap.

This university’s responsiveness to what we see and what we anticipate has resulted in an academic year that is off to a great start with another recordbreaking year of students moving onto our W.A. Lettinga Grand Rapids Campus, and students everywhere participating in our Global Campus (Online+).

Your participation in our campus life has set us up for success. Davenport University has an impressive history and an even more promising future. Thank you for being part of our university community. For good reasons, we are optimistic.

Sincerely,

Richard J. Pappas, Ed.D. President

2024 Peter C. Cook Excellence in Business Award Winner

RICK KEYES

The prestigious Peter C. Cook Excellence in Business Award is presented annually to someone who exemplifies professional success and commitment to community service. This year, we recognized our 25th recipient, Meijer President and CEO Rick Keyes.

“We are recognizing Rick for his proven leadership at Meijer and within the larger community, reflecting the entrepreneurship, business acumen and character of the award’s namesake, Peter Cook,” said Richard J. Pappas, Ed.D., president of Davenport University. “Rick is a visionary leader, from his start at Meijer as a pharmacist thirty-five years ago to his current role as president and CEO,” he said.

Keyes became president of Meijer in 2015 after rising through the company ranks, first as a pharmacist and later as executive vice president of Supply Chain and Manufacturing. His proven leadership at Meijer, his attention to Meijer team members and the impact Meijer has on communities throughout the Midwest are invaluable.

“Receiving this award is an incredible honor for me and my colleagues at Meijer, and when I think about the long list of honorees over the past 24 years, I am humbled to be among them,” said Keyes. “It really is an honor to lead an organization like Meijer and a team committed to its purpose of enriching lives in the communities we serve,” he said.

Keyes went on to say that what makes West Michigan special is its leaders’ commitment to inspiring growth and prosperity.

“Great leaders in our community have a ripple effect that lasts far longer than their time here on earth,” said Keyes. “One such leader and past Peter C. Cook Excellence in Business Award winner was Fred Meijer, who once said he wanted to leave the world a little better off than when he entered it. And I think we’re all doing that here tonight by supporting Davenport,” he said.

Anderson Cooper 2024 FEATURED GUEST:

This year’s Excellence in Business Gala featured CNN anchor, veteran journalist and author Anderson Cooper. He sat down with Davenport President Richard J. Pappas for an exclusive conversation about his personal life and diverse and illustrious career.

“It was wonderful to welcome Anderson Cooper back to our Excellence in Business Gala,” said Richard J. Pappas, Ed.D., president of Davenport University. “He has led such an interesting life, and we thank him for sharing his story with us.”

During the discussion, Cooper talked about his coverage of Nelson Mandela’s first democratic election and described it as one of the greatest days of his life.

“Being in Soweto, South Africa, on the day when black South Africans could vote, many for the first time in their lives, was unforgettable,” he said.

The conversation then turned to American politics when Pappas asked Cooper what had changed in civil discourse since his last visit to the Education in Business Gala in 2016.

“A sense of community doesn’t exist in politics today,” answered Cooper. “Both sides of the aisle are more focused on getting reelected or scoring political points than making laws and getting things done, and that’s a real threat to democracy,” he said.

The problem with our culture today is we are encouraged to brand someone who sees something different than we do as un-American or evil instead of someone with different perspectives. And yet, we’re not terrible people.

– Anderson Cooper

When it comes to the media’s role in politics, Cooper said he doesn’t believe TV anchors should tell viewers what they should think and who they should vote for. He credits viewers for being incredibly smart, savvy and capable of making up their minds without the help of an overpaid anchor.

Cooper shared a great deal about his personal life, including the fact that he considers himself a catastrophist. He uses the fictitious word to describe himself as someone who expects the worst so he won’t be disappointed. This defense mechanism has allowed Cooper to traverse some pretty tragic waters. His father died when he was just ten years old, and his brother later died by suicide.

“No one in my family knew how to deal with grief and it’s something we never talked about,” said Cooper. “The pain and loss is something I never dealt with. I just buried the pain deep within myself and didn’t realize until a few years ago that by not allowing myself to experience the great lows I was also not allowing myself to experience the great joys,” he said.

He admits to being a shell of the person he was meant to be and not being present in his own life, all of which he blames on not dealing with his father’s death.

This realization prompted Cooper to produce a series on grief called, “All there is.” Cooper said the motivation behind the series is his own grief and the fact that it’s something our society doesn’t talk openly about. “We’re expected to grieve in private so we don’t upset people, but there is great value in talking about it,” he said.

Cooper reminisced about his mom, Gloria Vanderbilt, and the rise and fall of the once-powerful family. By the time Cooper came along, the fortune was long gone, which he considers a blessing. “If I had grown up thinking there was a pot of gold waiting for me, I wouldn’t have been as driven to achieve things,” said Cooper.

He also talked about having children later in life and how it changed his perspective.

“I woke up to the joy of it, and it’s extraordinary,” he said.

Cheer and STUNT teams celebrate success, culture and ‘the why’

Story by Leslie Kinnee

Davenport University’s cheer and STUNT teams have enjoyed great success over the years, but if you talk to the coaches and players, they’ll tell you that winning titles is great, but it’s not what matters most.

What’s most important, they say, is the supportive culture at Davenport and the desire to do their best, not for themselves but for their teammates.

“We have something really special here at Davenport,” said Celia Kiogima, head coach for the cheer and STUNT teams.

“These athletes have a winner’s mentality and a competitive spirit because of the culture we’ve created. To us, it’s more than just about trophies and the win.”

Kiogima has had a front-row seat from which to watch the steady progression of these teams, first as a volunteer coach in 2012 and as an assistant coach in 2013. When she took over as head coach in 2015, the cheer

teams had already made a name for themselves as a force to be reckoned with at the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA).

Her team saw continued growth in 2013 when Davenport added STUNT to its athletic program. The fledgling group was impressive enough to be invited to compete at nationals that first year and finished as first runner-up. Just two years later, they were crowned national champions. They are even featured on the USA Cheer website, which is a testament to their standing in the STUNT community.

Under Kiogima’s leadership, the cheer and STUNT teams have flourished. Collectively, they have brought home an impressive nine NCA National Championship titles, eight STUNT National Championship titles and four Mid-America STUNT Conference Championship titles.

Yes, these teams are champions many times over, but the program’s mantra is that trophies don’t make them winners. They say it is their attitude that makes them winners. It’s their desire to lift each other up and their outlook on teamwork that drives their motivation and hunger to succeed as students and as athletes.

The members of the cheer and STUNT teams understand that they are students first and athletes second. Kiogima

sees to that. She stresses the importance of succeeding in the classroom just as they do in competitions. And it’s a message they hear loud and clear. They have a combined spring semester 3.23 GPA, something they continuously strive to improve.

Assistant coach and second-year nursing student Mackenzie Brower also credits Davenport’s culture as one of the team’s most powerful guiding forces.

What is our why?

“This program is unlike any other, and it’s truly a gift to be able to experience the culture that we have built,” said Brower. “These athletes are the perfect balance of fun and hard work, and they know what it takes to be successful. They also know that the journey is what is important, along with having fun and building relationships along the way.”

It is natural for coaches to think their team has a great culture, but when players also believe it to be true, it means it’s been embedded in every aspect of the program.

At the beginning of every season, Kiogima asks her teams what motivates them. Some usually say they came to DU because of the cheer or STUNT program, but little by little, their ‘why’ changes. Their ‘why’ becomes less about them as individuals and more about each other.

This season will be Payton McHugh’s fourth year on the competitive cheerleading and STUNT teams. She is pursuing a BBA in Marketing with a specialty in digital promotion and an ABA in finance.

She feels the program is successful because everyone is committed to the same work ethic and because they have fantastic and knowledgeable coaches.

“Our team’s work ethic is unlike anything I’ve seen before, and it’s great to know my teammates always have my back,” said McHugh. “Winning these titles has been amazing, but it’s not what we focus on. We are coached under the principle that this is so much more than just cheer and STUNT and more than the win.”

Success is great, but to us, it’s more than just about trophies and the win.

–

Celia Kiogima, cheer and STUNT head coach

The ultimate success, she says, lies in the bonds they make as a team and lessons learned.

This season will also be Keaghan Otto’s fourth year on the cheer and STUNT teams. She is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in HR management.

She appreciates the level of trust on the team and says it’s special to be part of such a hardworking and talented group. She is also thankful to the coaching staff for pushing them to be the best in and out of the practice room.

“Winning titles is, of course, a great feeling and something I will remember forever,” said Otto. “The most important thing, though, is being able to do something I love, surrounded by my best friends.”

Kiogima has 58 athletes on the cheer team and 48 on the STUNT team and is proud to say they are all committed to their craft and the bigger purpose of it all.

“They all know they have to work hard as student-athletes and are held to high expectations,” she said. “This, in turn, teaches them that there is no limit to their potential in athletics, academics and all other aspects of their lives.”

Faces of DU

Edited by Mary Eilleen Lyon

Everyone has a story. Davenport alumni explain how Davenport fits into their life stories and their successes. Here are a few faces of DU.

Jessica Maw, ‘14

Bachelor

Job Title

Owner, Bring Joy Boutique

Work Passion

The community that developed under the boutique name is something I am insanely proud of and love. Obviously, I love shopping for clothes and playing dress-up as “work,” but the community takes the cake. The name of the boutique really speaks for itself. The clothing and community bring so much joy to my life!

Davenport Highlight

My nursing friends, meeting my husband and learning the skills to be a successful nurse are so valuable to me. My relationships built during those four years were forever!

Key Mentor/Decision

My husband - 100%. (Shout out to the man who agreed to let his wife fill rooms with boutique inventory!) I’m the type of person who loves to throw ideas around and never execute them, because I don’t think I am capable. After my decision to stay home with young children, and in the middle of the pandemic, when I mentioned the idea of owning an online boutique out of our house, he gave me the extra push to make the dream a reality! After that initial push, the joy that came from inspiring other women to feel confident in their clothing was my #1 motivator and drove my success. We built a positive community of women who love fashion and encourage each other!

Michael Catching, II, ‘20

Bachelor of Business Administration, Human Resources Management

Seth Williams, ’21, ‘22

Bachelor of Business Administration, Master of Business Administration

Job Title

Manager of Community Engagement, Grand Rapids Art Museum

Work Passion

I love introducing or reintroducing audiences to the wonderful world of art and how expressive it is. Art is a spectrum that can be shown to people who either grew up loving it or who weren’t exposed to it. It’s a vehicle to have community conversations around health and wellness, equality and many other initiatives that may have been overlooked. I came into the art world as an individual with no background creatively, but socially I was able to relate to people who didn’t recognize how great it can be. It’s amazing to see people walk into our galleries and be amazed at what’s on display.

Job Title

Event Coordinator, Detroit Lions

Work Passion

The event cycle and my co-workers. We are able to work on a wide range of events, such as concerts, athletic events and various shows. Seeing these come to life, from planning to execution, is extremely rewarding – when all in the building are enjoying the event. I am lucky to work with great, experienced people. That has allowed me to learn and develop my own skills. We also share the same values and passion for the work we do.

Job Title

Managing Director, Global Risk & Benefits at IMA Financial

Work Passion

Collaborating with people from all over the globe. It’s a dream to be able to communicate and build relationships with individuals who are in different parts of the world. It’s challenging, exciting, interesting and keeps me on my toes!

Tanja Lumpp, ‘13

Master of Business Administration

Davenport Highlight

Coming to Davenport in fall 2015 as a part of the first-ever football class was an opportunity of a lifetime to lay the foundation for something bigger than myself! I got on campus at 19 years old, and by the time I left at 23, my life was completely transformed by the many relationships formed within the sports community, the clubs and groups and with many of my professors and support staff. Dr. O’Neal, Coach McEwen, and many others helped form me into the adult I am today.

Davenport Highlight

At Davenport, I was able to learn about the wide range of career fields in sports and develop a stronger sense of what I wanted. I worked as a student athletic assistant my freshman year. That led to the building manager role under Nicole Tibbe, which allowed me to gain experience in Event Operations. Working while taking courses, I could apply what I was learning right away. I began to develop a passion for this work at Davenport. The experience was vital in leading me to where I am today.

Davenport Highlight

Davenport has superior professors! I truly enjoyed listening to their backgrounds, learning from their experiences, soaking in their stories and being able to connect it to my professional and educational growth. Everybody has a story, and my time at DU felt very real with professors and mentors who are real people with real professions and personal commitments who are dedicating time to pass on their wealth of knowledge!

Key Mentor/Decision

In 2016, my daughter Kambry was born. At 20 years old, I was still trying to figure out being an athlete, working and navigating fatherhood. It was a rough adjustment, but my football team wrapped themselves around me and my family. She went from a community of two to a community of 150-plus instantly. Most of those men knew her by name, would spend time with her, and make her feel welcome. That laid the groundwork for me wanting to succeed as part of her village. Launching my career in human resources in 2020, I saw that many communities lack the village that surrounded my daughter. I was able to see the bigger picture and understand that art can be a tool. It can be plain or complicated. It can be radical or conservative. It truly is a language that can be spoken with no boundaries.

Key Mentor/Decision

I have been extremely lucky to have had great mentors, and many key decisions come to mind. At the core of all those decisions, was choosing to attend Davenport University. Having grown up in a relatively small town, the smaller class sizes were perfect for me and allowed me to develop relationships with other students and professors. I was also able to take sport management classes immediately. The relationships and opportunities were vital to my success as a student. DU also introduced me to mentors, from professors to those I worked with in the Athletic Department. That hands-on work experience was vital when I was interviewing early in my career. I can honestly say my career path would likely look significantly different if it were not for Davenport.

Key Mentor/Decision

My parents are my inspiration. They appreciate how quickly life can change, and this has taught me to embrace the here and now, take risks, do hard things, start and start again, be positive, be authentic and stick with the people who give me energy. My husband and my girls are my motivation, and I am grateful to have a support system that gives me vigor to stay inspired!

First-generation students f ind support, mentorship at Davenport

Story by Cindy Kamerad

According to the National Center for Education Statistics data, first-generation students face significant academic, financial and cultural challenges and tend to graduate at lower rates than their peers. Currently, 52% of DU students are first-gen, meaning neither parent has a bachelor’s degree.

“Asking another student is a little less pressure than asking a professor. It’s often easier to shoot a text to someone your age.”

Dr. Jodi Hicks, Director of Student Transitions and Academic Readiness at Davenport, has made it her mission to change this.

“My purpose is to support and encourage students to be the best they can be,” said Hicks. “Any program like this that is successful requires a passionate champion and that’s my role.”

“We reach out with intentionality during the first year as it’s the most critical,” said Hicks. “If we can get a student to succeed and stay the first year, their chances of graduating increase.”

Since Davenport’s First-Generation Initiative launch in 2020, the team has developed a first-gen and parent/family website, celebrate National 1G day annually, and are now featured in the “I’m First! Guide to College” book.

In the fall of 2023, academic mentors were embedded in seven math classes to provide additional support to students. Student persistence in those classes was 93%, compared to other sections at 85%. To date, Davenport has trained more than 400 faculty and staff on first-gen needs and numerous departments have contributed to a student success handbook.

“Everyone has a piece of it,” said Hicks. “All our departments have come together for a unified need.”

Students guiding students

Arguably, the most impactful element of the program is peer mentoring. It provides another connection point at the university, helping foster feelings of belonging.

Participation in the mentoring program has grown each year since its inception. Retention has also increased each year. From Fall 2023 to Fall 2024 the retention rate of mentees was 79% compared to those who chose not to participate (50%).

Remon Samara, 45, is a first-generation student who attends classes through Davenport’s Lansing campus. He’s always had a passion for helping others and after working in the

restaurant and construction fields, he wanted a change. He’s now pursuing his Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.

As a first-gen student, he said his toughest challenge was fitting in at his age. He was able to connect with Hicks through the ACES class, a first-year success course designed to help first-generation students acclimate to university life.

“I’m not computer savvy and taking online courses was new to me,” Samara said. “Career advisors, coaches, everyone is available, and I utilize them when I can.”

While not a first-generation student herself, Cassidy Townsend is a first-generation mentor and the new part time mentoring program coordinator. Cassidy is scheduled to graduate in December with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.

“As a mentor, I’m a friendly face around campus, helping others make friends, helping with homework,” said Townsend. “If students are struggling, I get them in contact with the right people. I help them feel at home in a new place.”

“Asking another student is a little less pressure than asking a professor. It’s often easier to shoot a text to someone your age.”

Through Davenport’s Online Global Campus, a motherdaughter first-generation duo in Kinross, Michigan, is pursuing associate’s degrees in health information technology. Through research, they each discovered this degree would allow them much-needed flexibility and a chance to work from home. They now support and encourage each other.

Karen Lieb works as an LPN in the upper peninsula and her daughter Katelin Britton, 26, cares for her disabled brother full-time at home.

“I didn’t have to take the ACES class. I wanted to,” said Lieb. “I’m so thankful I did. The tools I’ve gotten from it are amazing.”

Britton agreed. “The course helped me figure out how to better manage my time,” said Britton. “I thought I was more of a visual learner. But through ACES, I found I have so many different ways to learn – I’m not just in one or two categories. I learned so much about myself in just seven weeks.”

As persistence and retention rates continue to rise, Hicks is committed to expanding the program’s reach.

“The most significant aspect of our first-gen programming is the powerful impact it makes on the friends and family members of the first-gen graduate,” Hicks said. “It inspires others to strive for a degree and reach their goals.”

Over 400 faculty and staff participated in 1G training

Over 60% of faculty and staff are 1G themselves

51% of all DU students are first generation

Designated three sections of the ACES course

92% of students continued their studies the next semester, versus 86% of all other ACES100 sections at 86%

An alumni story, featuring

Thomas Drew, BBA, Marketing ’15

Story by Whitney Rivest

Astronaut, police officer or doctor are all the typical answers when sevenyear-olds are asked what they want to be when they grow up. But when Thomas Drew, BBA, Marketing ‘15, was asked to present a report to his second-grade class on what he wanted to be, the answer surprised many, “entrepreneur.”

Drew, who grew up in West Michigan, set goals for himself at a young age - to become an entrepreneur, play college basketball and live in New York City. Drew was well on his entrepreneurial journey when he graduated from Davenport University. While attending Davenport and keeping a rigid basketball schedule as the team captain, Drew started a clothing and events business. He credits men’s basketball coach Burt Paddock for encouraging him to continue his strong leadership skills in his career as he prepared to graduate.

“Davenport allowed me to be the leader that I naturally was,” Drew said.

As he prepared to graduate, Drew had his sights on New York City and an Ivy League master’s degree. With a strong letter of recommendation

from Davenport University President Richard J. Pappas, he was accepted into Columbia University, becoming the first in his family to have an Ivy League diploma.

“Once accepted, I asked the admissions reps what got me in. The answer was the character reference from President Pappas. I am indebted to Davenport University for that.”

In his career, Drew draws on inspiration from his executive coach who told him, “In your childhood, you dream of who you want to be with no shackles.” That mindset helps him envision a future where anything is possible.

Drew and his business partner Corey Lewis created 1AND1, a holistic wellness platform that provides expert insights, in-depth supplement reviews and personalized habit building, all built into an app for ease of use. At 1AND1, their mission is to make mental health and wellness more accessible, inclusive and effective. Their motto, “1% Better, Together™,” was created with the goal that users focus on getting 1% better each day, but they don’t have to do it alone.

“We have some really exciting partnerships in the works,” Drew said. “We are focused on getting the app in more people’s hands.”

Drew described his own mental health journey and how our mental wellness, physical wellness, and accessibility to all of this information are vital to each individual’s well-being. The 1AND1 app is currently free to use with plans to monetize once certain user milestones are reached. Drew feels deeply that wellness, good habit-forming behavior and mental health need to be accessible to all. To do this, Drew and his business partner focus on affiliate revenue and ad placements for many of their business ventures, especially 1AND1.

“We keep our web content free and accessible while focusing on monetization strategies that don’t directly impact the consumer,” Drew explained.

As a way to de-stigmatize mental health through transparent conversations, 1AND1 produced a mental health podcast titled Off The Cuff with Danny LoPriore.

“We bring in athletes, celebrities, doctors, therapists – professionals in their field. This allows the listener

to receive free tools, help and frameworks to use in their everyday life.”

Their holistic approach to wellness focuses on seven interconnected dimensions: physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, environmental and financial. In the app, you can take a short quiz, set your goals, track your progress and receive tailored recommendations. So whether you’re just starting your wellness journey or looking to take your wellbeing to the next level, the 1AND1 app can support you.

So what’s in 1AND1’s future? Drew and team are planning on launching in-app community and accountability features, an AI-companion, and an Enterprise solution focused on helping organizations foster community engagement and holistic well-being while reducing burnout.

Drew tends to revisit one of his favorite quotes by the late, great Steve Jobs: “Everything around you that you call ‘life’ was made up by people who were no smarter than you.” Drew’s own advice: “You have to believe that you can make things real and believe that you can do what you can see. Nobody else will believe in you unless you believe in you first.”

In fall 2023, Davenport University launched two new degree programs that develop talent in the mental health industry and meet the needs of our communities. The Master of Science in Nursing, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner concentration provides nurses with comprehensive, well-rounded instruction across all disciplines. This will help build skills needed to address psychopathology, substance use disorders and behavioral health. The Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling program takes a unique approach with a curriculum that builds cultural competency so that graduates can be effective in the community at the highest professional level. Course materials and assessments reflect the diverse reality that mental health counselors experience.

By supporting Davenport scholarships, we hope to ease some of the burden for students in need and help them focus more on achieving their academic and professional goals. An education at Davenport is a powerful catalyst for personal growth, career advancement and societal progress, opening doors to new opportunities and perspectives while equipping students with the skills to make an impact in the world. It is a pleasure to contribute to a scholarship providing access to these outcomes."

Leaving a Legacy

Did you know you can leave a lasting legacy to future students at Davenport University through a planned gift in your estate?

Choosing to include DU in your long-term financial planning will positively impact access to education for students in perpetuity.

• Consider including Davenport University in your will or living trust

• Review beneficiary designations on your retirement plan

• Stock transfers and IRA rollovers are also great non-cash ways to have an impact

For more information or to discuss how you can leave a lasting legacy for Davenport University students visit davenport.edu/legacy-society
