GSW remembers rural roots, ready for second century of educational leadership

ith a pledge of $30,000 and 270 acres of land, the citizens and County Commissioners proclaimed their support for the founding of a college to serve the region surrounding Americus and Sumter County at the beginning of a new century in 1906.

“Sumter County won out in the contest for the Third District agricultural college, and that great educational institution is to be located here. . .And the victory is far-reaching in its effect. . .Its value is really inestimable.” This proclamation was proudly reported in the Americus Weekly Times Recorder of Nov. 23, 1906.

One of the first buildings to be constructed was Academic Hall, a formidable structure to house classrooms, administrative offices, and an auditorium for the fledgling institution. During the first decade of the college’s history, this landmark structure had to be completely rebuilt following a devastating fire. The signature element of this new structure was a prominent dome with architectural details denoting the importance of this reconstructed landmark. In the years to come, the dome became a central icon in the minds of many students as well as in campus folklore.

When the faculty, students, staff, and alumni expressed their preference as we sought a new logo for the

University in the last year, no doubt the longtime observer of life at Georgia Southwestern was not surprised. The Wheatley Administration Building dome was a favorite image among the many that were considered. A clearly defined, readily recognizable representation of the dome is prominent in the new logo that will serve our University as we move forward in the second century (cover story, page 8).

As we welcome this next chapter in the life of the University, we also prepare to celebrate the dedication of the latest addition to our campus community, the new Student Success Center, encompassing 130,000 square feet and constructed at a cost of more than $22 million. The convocation hall of the Student Success Center is introducing the campus community to a new dome that will surely become a landmark for future generations of students. The geodesic dome that provides shelter for the convocation hall, the centerpiece of the Student Success Center, is the first of its type in the University System of Georgia.

After nearly a century of service, Academic Hall, now known as the Wheatley Administration Building, is the focus of a detailed restoration project at a cost of nearly $4.5 million. It is our goal to restore many of the architectural details of the dome that have been lost over the years as well as the two-story rotunda that graced the first floor of the building. The fully restored Wheatley Administration Building will serve as the centerpiece of the historic district that is being created on campus.

Remembering our treasured past and building for the future, Georgia Southwestern continues to be of inestimable value to the community.

Building for the Future–The nearly complete $22 million Students Success Center will serve the University community at the dawn of GSW’s second century.

Miller named executive director of GSW Foundation

he Georgia Southwestern Foundation, Inc. has named Boyce E. “Stick” Miller, III as its executive director, effective Jan. 3. Miller succeeds Bev Pankey, who recently retired.

Miller and his wife, Elise, recently moved to Americus from Atlanta where, for the last 25 years, he was self-employed in the financial services industry.

Ginger Starlin, chair of the Board, said that she is excited about the new executive director appointment.

“Mr. Miller is known to many of GSW’s alumni,” Starlin said. “The Board of Trustees believes that he has a strong vision for Georgia Southwestern to become a premier institution in Georgia. He intends to steer a course that will make the

GSW Golf and Conference Center a facility that we can all be proud of and a financially stable entity. Enrollment growth at the University is also a priority with Mr. Miller. It will take an executive director with a strong business sense and experience in the financial sectors to accomplish both of these goals. We are fortunate to have someone with his experience as the director of our Foundation.”

“I believe in Georgia Southwestern State University and want to see it grow and prosper,” Miller said. “I also believe that effective management of our assets is vital to the well-being of the University, and is mandated by the generosity of our benefactors. To that end, I pledge to continue current fund-raising efforts and to enhance existing plans with some new approaches. I plan to

reach out to the Alumni of Georgia Southwestern State University for our first effort. I think that, given the improving economy and the plans for new residence halls, we have a huge opportunity to effect change both on campus and in the community.”

Miller is a 1971 alumnus of Georgia Southwestern where he was a member of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity and where he received a B.S. in Political Science. He also holds a law degree from Woodrow Wilson College of Law. He and his wife have three adult children.

Green Campus initiative eyes environmentally friendly options, resource conservation

GSW is examining new strategies for environmentally friendly planning. A Green Campus Committee has completed a campus environmental audit to aid in the discussion.

“In the fall of 2004, we asked faculty and staff to respond to a number of questions, covering a range of topics,” said Dan Askren, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Geology and Physics, and a leader of the Green Campus Committee. “The questions dealt with everything from waste disposal, to energy consumption, to pest control,” Askren said.

The answers to those questions are laying the foundation for future discussions of environmentally friendly decision-making, he said.

“The justifications for ‘going green’ center around issues like energy conservation, water conservation, storm water management and waste management,” said George Smith, director of the Physical Plant and a leader of the Green Campus Committee. “This idea of creating and maintaining a ‘sustainable campus’ means working smarter, and remembering the importance of conservation.”

GSW is the only institution in the University System of

Georgia currently pursuing an initiative of this nature.

“Georgia Southwestern is pleased to take a leadership role in this critical area,” said President Michael L. Hanes, Ph.D. “Informed decision-making designed to preserve our campus’ natural beauty, while simultaneously making the most efficient use of limited resources, translates into good sense for the future of our University.”

The University is investigating a new collaboration with the Georgia Department of National Resources to measure water consumption and examine conservation strategies.

Going Green–Campus Pride Day, where faculty, staff and students volunteer to enhance GSW’s natural beauty, has been a tradition for years.

Healthy Campus 2010 integrates healthful ideas

The University has a growing initiative designed to promote healthy decision-making.

Gaining momentum since last fall, the Healthy Campus 2010 program is encouraging students, faculty and staff to pursue healthful options in all aspects of their lives—from diet and exercise to buckling up in the car.

“Responsible, healthy choices must be conscious decisions made in our everyday lives,” said Monica Taylor, co-chair of the Healthy Campus committee. “Then, after a period of time, hopefully those healthy decisions become habits.”

“Education is key to helping everyone make healthy decisions,” added Michelle Parnell, co-chair of the Healthy Campus initiative. “By giving individuals all of the information we can, we show them the importance and the long-term impact that healthy choices will have on their lives, and the lives of those around them.”

The Healthy Campus Committee, composed of representatives from across GSW, continues to organize a range of activities to involve faculty, staff and students in wellness education. In November, the group helped organize a bicycle “Ride for Diabetes,” in cooperation with Sumter Regional Hospital. In conjunction with the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, child safety seat training and inspections were held in February; a seasonal allergy clinic, alcohol screenings and a health and wellness fair have also been in the works.

“Georgia Southwestern is committed to health and wellness promotion for our students, faculty and staff,” said President Michael L. Hanes, Ph.D. “Healthy Campus 2010 is a long-term, strategic initiative for our campus community. We look forward to expanding this enriching dialogue, already in progress.”

The Healthy Campus 2010 program has established guidelines distributed by the American College Health Association.

Students, faculty, staff and alumni build Schley County Habitat house as part of centennial celebration

A new partnership forged between Georgia Southwestern’s Habitat Campus Chapter and New Horizons Habitat for Humanity is resulting in new housing options for those in need in Southwest Georgia. This partnership comes at a time of increased activity as New Horizons has expanded its service area from just Sumter County to a six-county region (Schley, Macon, Marion, Webster, Dooly and Sumter).

According to U.S. Census data, more than 25 percent of the families in these low-income counties live in properties with rents that average $350 per month. Profit-driven construction and maintenance of these units in combination with other factors can result in many hard working families spending a majority of their income on substandard and unsafe housing.

“As the University approaches its Centennial Celebration, the Campus Chapter and New Horizons are working together to sponsor a Habitat home in Schley County,” said Tom Weiland, Ph.D., campus chapter adviser. “This project, called the GSWSchley County Centennial House, is part of an effort to get faculty, students, staff and alumni more involved in community service and outreach.”

Martha Howard and her daughter, Sebrena, have been selected as homeowners for the GSW-Schley County Centennial House, Weiland said. Martha works as a teacher’s aid at Schley County Elementary School. She volunteered often with the first Habitat Schley County home, not knowing that she would be chosen for the next New Horizons Habitat home. Sebrena is a sixth grade student that loves sports.

Initial construction is planned for Fall 2005 with several Build Days to be scheduled for different University groups including alumni. GSW’s Habitat Campus Chapter has more than 100 members.

Approximately $25,000 of the $40,000 needed to build the Centennial House has been raised. Donations are appreciated. Please make checks payable to New Horizons-GSW Centennial House and mail to New Horizons Habitat, 512 Spring Street, Americus, GA 31709.

Marking History

A new University logo and its variations were unveiled during Homecoming 2005 festivities. Replacing the “Georgia Southwestern State University” stylized text, which previously served as the institutional identity mark, is a blue and gold logo that features an artistic representation of the Wheatley Administration Building dome, the campus’ most recognizable landmark.

New logo symbolizes proud past, anticipates bright future

By Wes Sumner

Unveiled–President Hanes introduces the new Visual Identity Program

"...this logo ...is a wonderful way to herald the next century of our University's life."

—Angelia Moore, Ed.D. Centennial Planning Committee

The first variation of the logo, known as the centennial version, features the celebration slogan “A Century of Achievement, A Future of Promise, 1906-2006” above the dome:

“Our goal was to craft a more contemporary logo that would be easily identifiable with the University, and begin to tell the GSW story at a glance,” said Cathy L. Rozmus, DSN, vice president for Academic Affairs and co-chair of the Marketing Work Group that led the effort. “Georgia Southwestern has served this community and this state for almost a century, offering its residents educational opportunities that otherwise would not have been available. We feel that this logo, grounded in its representation of the campus’ most historic building, is a fitting tribute to that legacy of learning and leadership.”

Variations of the logo were created to fit differing usage needs while consistently reflecting the

In Use–Arthur Clark, assistant director of Physical Plant, displays the new logo on a University vehicle.

The second variation, or casual version of the logo, illustrates the Wheatley Administration Building in pen and ink style with the letters “GSW” in script:

University’s image, Rozmus said. The new logo will be used for letterhead, University advertising and other print needs. The centennial version will be used in connection with promotions for centennial year activities, while the casual version is more appropriate for merchandising items like book bags, caps and t-shirts, she said.

The University’s circular seal, which resembles the State of Georgia seal and was often utilized in past printed materials, remains in effect, but will be reserved for more specific uses. Printed materials with the old logos will be phased out by Jan. 1, 2006.

Rozmus said the Marketing Work Group that developed the new logo was composed of rep -

resentatives from across campus departments, and worked throughout 2004 to address marketing needs of the institution. The team collaborated with Partners Marketing Group of Atlanta to draft a strategic marketing plan and design the new visual identity program.

“The implementation of this logo, with its artistic representation of the Wheatley Administration Building dome and its inclusion of our centennial theme, is a wonderful way to herald the next century of our University’s life,” said Angelia Moore, Ed.D., director of Graduate Studies and chair of the Centennial Planning Committee. “It will be the centennial symbol of our institution’s proud past and vision

for the future.”

“We are very pleased to introduce this new visual identity program for our campus,” said President Michael L. Hanes, Ph.D. “A great deal of time, energy and careful consideration was invested in this effort. We look forward to utilizing these symbols to help us better tell the story of Georgia Southwestern.”

The Wheatley Administration Building, which inspired the new GSW logo, is currently undergoing a $4.5 million historic restoration. Academic Hall was built on the site in 1907 but was destroyed by fire in 1915.

Architect Crawford Wheatley, a member of the local board, supervised rebuilding on the same site. The current building, with its trademark rotunda, was completed in 1918 and is named in honor of Charles Huntington Wheatley, son of Crawford Wheatley, who died in 1991 and bequeathed 55 percent of his $20 million-plus estate to the University.

Planning began in Spring 2003 to renovate the building and restore its previous grandeur.

2004 a record year for giving to Georgia Southwestern Momentum builds as capital campaign makes progress

Georgia Southwestern recorded 3,667 gifts in 2004—the highest number of gifts in six years, according to the Division of University Relations.

The record year comes as GSW continues its Voices…Celebrating Our Past, Shaping Our Future capital campaign that is laying the foundation for future growth and expansion at the institution. To date, the drive has logged more than $9.3 million.

In 2004, GSW recorded 52 major gifts above $5,000—a seven year high. There were 159

members of the President’s Circle—donors contributing more than $1,000—also a high mark. (The 2004 honor roll of donors can be found on pages 17-19 of this edition of the Aeolian.)

“The University continues to make great progress in acquiring additional sources of support to meet the changing needs of our campus,” said President Michael L. Hanes, Ph.D. “The 2004 year was notable for its successes. We are continuing that effort this year, and have great expectations for what 2005 will bring for our University.”

Building–2004 was a notable year for fundraising at GSW, insuring that future generations of students have a variety of educational resources.

There are a variety of ways to give to your alma mater

Cash—Cash contributions from individuals qualify for charitable tax deduction, but are limited to 50 percent of the donor’s adjusted gross income in the year of the gift. Any excess amount over the 50 percent limitation can be carried forward for up to five consecutive years to use the full deduction.

Appreciated Securities—There are several distinct tax advantages in giving longterm securities that have increased in value. Donors receive a tax deduction for the current market value of their securities, generally with no capital gains tax on appreciation.

Real Estate—We will be happy to discuss the possible gift of land, a house, or vacation home. The benefits to the donor could include a full fair market value income tax deduction that is up to 30 percent of adjusted gross income with a five-year carry-over provision and generally no capital gains tax on the property’s appreciation. Bonds and Mutual Funds—Bonds and mutual funds are similar to stocks in their tax treatment with a tax deduction for the full value of the gift if they have been held by you for more than one year. Corporate, state, municipal, and U.S. Government bonds are welcome..

Gift Annuity—In exchange for a gift of cash or securities, Georgia Southwestern will pay you and your survivor a guaranteed income for life. You receive a substantial income tax deduction in the year of the gift and part of the income may be tax free. Upon your death, the gift remainder supports Georgia Southwestern. Your income and tax deduction are based on your age.

Deferred Gift Annuity—Similar to a gift annuity except that payments begin at a future date determined by you—at retirement for example. Your tax deduction and annual rate of return increase the longer you wait to start payments. This is a good retirement planning vehicle especially for self employed people.

Charitable Remainder Trusts (Irrevocable) (Annuity and Unitrusts) Donors can select the rate of return from these income arrangements and also choose a fixed or fluctuating annual payment. Capital gains taxes are avoided and you will receive a tax deduction based on the age of the income recipient and rate of return.

Charitable Lead Trust—In a charitable lead trust, assets are transferred to a trust which pays income from the fund to Georgia Southwestern for an amount of years you determine. At the end of the time period, the trust terminates and the assets are given back to the person(s) you name including yourself, if that is your choice.

Bequest Through Your Will—Through this simple way to give of your estate, you can make a gift bequest to Georgia Southwestern of a dollar amount, specific property, a percentage of your estate, or what is left (remainder).

Revocable Charitable Living Trust—The gift that can be taken back! Gifts should be made only on a permanent basis when it is in your best interest to do so. The revocable trust provides for gifts of cash, property, and/or income now, while retaining the right to retrieve the property if necessary. There is no tax deduction for the gift but there may be savings in estate settlement costs if the trust is not revoked.

Gifts of Life Insurance—There are several ways life insurance can assist you in making a significant gift to Georgia Southwestern State University.

Gift of Life Insurance proceeds—You can name GSW as beneficiary of all or a portion of the proceeds of an existing life insurance policy.

Gift of Life Insurance Policy—You can transfer ownership of all or part of an existing policy.

Purchase a new Life Insurance Policy naming GSW as owner & beneficiary.

THROUGH THE YEARS

In preparation for the University’s centennial celebration in 2006, the Aeolian is peering through the mists of time, highlighting 20 years of GSW history each issue.

President William B. King led the institution from 1963 to 1978. He directed the institution’s rapid growth from junior college to four-year college offering graduate work in teacher education. Under his leadership, enrollment climbed from 593 in 1963 to 2,500 in 1978.

Dr. William H. Capitan became the institution’s eighth president and assumed duties July 1, 1979.

The James Earl Carter Library was officially dedicated June 7, 1973. It was named for Mr. J. Earl Carter (1894-1953), Sumter County farmer, businessman, civic leader and elected official. He was the father of former Georgia governor, U.S. president and GSW alumnus Jimmy Carter.

Dr. Harold Isaacs founded the internationally-respected Association of Third World Studies at GSW in 1983.

The first bachelor’s degrees were awarded June 3, 1968.

Hurricanes played competitive collegiate football from 1983-88.

The ROTC program was established in 1981 with 20 students, and grew to more than 70 by 1985. The program ended in 1994.
