Dear Alumni and Friends of Morehead State University, As I reflect on the academic year behind us, I am struck by the fact that there are so many accomplishments to celebrate. This past year has presented its share of challenges for your alma mater; however, by working together, we have achieved a number of initiatives to advance the instructional, service and research mission of the University. For example: •

We are in the final stages of completing the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools reaffirmation process and have now received a very positive report from the onsite review team.

•

We are progressing ahead of schedule with the implementation of our Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) with a pilot planned for Fall 2011.

•

The revision of our general education program is now ready and on schedule for full implementation this fall.

•

We completed the first full year of the new Annual Program Performance Review (APPR) process to guide the strategic reallocation of limited budget resources.

•

We achieved 100 percent retention of the students in the initial cohort of the new honors program.

•

We completed our transition of academic programs located in the new Center for Health, Education and Research.

•

We continued to increase research and creative production work including participation in two NASA space missions.

•

We worked with national firms to conduct comprehensive reviews of our marketing and enrollment processes as well as our student scholarship program.

•

We enrolled the initial cohort of students in MSU’s first doctoral-level degree program—Ed.D.

•

We received board authorization for multiple new degree programs identified by the faculty during the academic program review and APPR work as areas for growth and enhancement.

•

We successfully completed a yearlong pilot of the new Early College Program, which is expected to more than double the number of dual-enrolled high school students in Fall 2011.

•

We opened a new Student Commons area in the Camden-Carroll Library and renovated the tutoring lab facilities in Allie Young Hall.

•

We completed the renovation of Mignon Tower and construction of the new Recreation and Wellness Center.

•

And Much More!

I am most proud of the resilience of this institution and the people that are its foundation. I appreciate very much the support and dedication of our generous alumni and friends.

Brown honored as coach of the year Bobby Brown (98), bowling coach, was named Kerm Helmer Coach of the Year. The presentation was made in conjunction with the 2011 United States Bowling Congress Intercollegiate Team Championships (ITC) held in Georgia.

Brown, who has been coaching MSU since 1999, coached the Eagles to their highest finish ever, as they placed second in the nation in 2003. Under his leadership, the men have several national third place finishes as recently as 2006.

As a member of the MSU bowling team, he bowled a 300 game (one of 11 in his career), a high series of 826 (one of three career 800 series) and achieved a high average of 249.

He has been an information systems instructor since 2000.

Alumni participate on national tour An MSU student and six graduates served as performers and instructional and administrative staff with the 2011 Sousa International Honors Band on a 17-day European Concert Tour with performances in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands and Switzerland. Performances included traditional and formal wind band classics, international marches, special solo and section features, and literature that related to the audience of each country. Dr. Richard Miles, MSU director of bands, was co-conductor.

Participants included Judith Allstatter (99) of Cincinnati, clarinet; Kevin Callihan (11) of Raceland, euphonium; Katie Elswick

(11) of Grundy, Va., flute; Kaitlin Mansfield (11) of Ashland, clarinet; Allyson Martin (09) of Frankfort, flute; Patrick Stouffer, an Indianapolis, Ind., senior, trumpet; and Royce Kendall Vance (08) of Huntington, W.Va., euphonium.

MSU receives special honors Cooperative leadership and the excellence of one instructor led to Morehead State University receiving special honors.

MSU won two awards on May 26 at the Morehead-Rowan County Chamber of Commerce annual banquet. The Community Partners Award was shared between MSU President Wayne D. Andrews and the Rowan County Fiscal Court for “the tireless efforts on the land agreement (88), From left, Paul Hitchcock and er, chamber memb Greg Wing (76).

MSU is tobacco-free MSU became tobacco-free July 1, joining more than 400 colleges and universities throughout the country that have similar policies.

The University chose to extend its current policies prohibiting the use of all tobacco products in its buildings to the entire campus, according to President Wayne D. Andrews. The ban also includes chewing and smokeless tobacco products.

“It is the policy of this University to promote the health, well-being and safety of our students, faculty and staff, as well as visitors to the campus. The University has an opportunity to dramatically impact the health and welfare of the members of our community and guests by making a change in the current campus tobacco practices,” said Dr. Andrews.

The decision to go tobacco-free on the campus was announced last November on the recommendations of a committee composed of students, faculty and staff. Smoking cessation assistance is provided to students at the Caudill Health Clinic and to faculty and staff through MSU’s Office of Human Resources.

“We encourage tobacco users to take advantage of the various cessation programs being offered to the campus community,” said Dr. Andrews.

MSU’s Board of Regents adopted the changes to the 2011-12 Eagle Student Handbook and added the new tobacco policy to the Student Conduct Code at its June meeting.

Tobacco-free signs have been placed throughout campus.

His list of accolades reads like a book: All-American, OVC

called on draft night.

Naismith Award Finalist, Wooden Award Finalist.

His stats speak for themselves: NCAA modern-era career rebounding leader, 86 career double-doubles, five career 20-20 games, third in MSU history in scoring, third in OVC history in blocks and seventh in steals.

Kenneth Faried (11)’s proudest moment came on June 23, 2011, when NBA Commissioner David Stern uttered the words “With the 22nd pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Denver Nuggets select Newark, N.J.’s own Kenneth Faried.” That’s the moment his dream came true – to become an NBA superstar.

But before we talk about the future, we must first examine the past. How did the man now known as the “Chairman of the Boards” end up wearing the blue and gold of Morehead State?

“They were a good fit for me,” Faried told me. “The coaches, the people and everything was just a great fit for me.”

My next question was a bit tougher. I asked him his fondest memory during his four years at Morehead State University.

“The great fan support. The people made you feel at home with all the respect they had for me. It’s a great thing to have people care for you. Even though they may not know you, but they know of you.”

Following the NCAA Tournament and graduation, Faried’s life shifted into overdrive. The kid from Newark, N. J., was flying cross-country, showcasing his talents for NBA teams.

“(It was) pretty much train, train, fly, fly,” Faried said. “(I did) everything in my power to get drafted by an NBA team. Going from city to city and talking to the owners was humbling.” Faried noted the owners and other executives he spoke with respected him for his game and gave him good insight into what they were looking for in an NBA prospect and where he may land.

Faried was clearly excited on Draft Day, posting several videos on his Twitter page (@KennethFaried).

In one of the videos, he was in a hotel room with his mother and her longtime partner talking about how excited he was ahead of the NBA Draft. In his second

Faried is the eighth first-round pick in Ohio Valley Conference history and the first ever for Morehead State. He is the 18th player in Eagle history to be drafted by the NBA. He established the NCAA modern-era (post-1973) career rebounding record with 1,673 rebounds.

It’s been called the biggest win in school history, and it was

State in the NCAA Tournament opening round and in 2010, the

something Donnie Tyndall (93) had dreamt about, literally.

Eagles knocked Colorado State out of the CBI Tournament.

March 17, 2011, Denver, Colo., 13-seed, Morehead State upsets fourth-seeded Louisville, 62-61, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, marking the third time the in-state opponents had met in the NCAA Tournament and the first time the Eagles had come away with a win.

Following the game, Tyndall told the media he had a dream the night before about senior Demonte Harper (11) winning it for the Eagles on a 3-pointer, so that’s how Tyndall drew up MSU’s final offensive possession. It was a leap of faith that was magnified by Harper’s 0-for-5 performance from long range up to that point against the Cards.

Oddly enough, it was the third time in three years that Morehead State had won a postseason men’s basketball game on March 17, St. Patrick’s Day. In 2009, MSU beat Alabama 10 |

www.moreheadstate.edu/statement

So fate and maybe a bit of luck put Harper in a position to win the game, but juniors Terrance Hill and Ty Proffitt didn’t hurt either. Harper may have struggled that day, but the unsung heroes Hill and Proffitt combined to go 8-of-12 from 3-point range, including a couple of big triples that helped end runs by Louisville.

So trailing by two with 23.8 seconds left, Tyndall instructed Harper to hold until there were seven seconds left, move like driving for the tying bucket, pull back and rise for the gamewinner. When Harper released the shot, Proffitt had no doubts, throwing his arms up in celebration as soon as the ball left Harper’s hands. “ONIONS!” cried CBS Sports’ Bill Raftery, his trademark phrase for a game-defining moment.

But every fateful tale needs a storybook ending, and this one didn’t disappoint. As Louisville raced down court for a last-

Little Foundation awards grant for the arts.

The arts at Morehead State University got a big financial shot in the arm thanks to a Little contribution.

MSU was awarded a $2.5 million grant from the W. Paul and Lucille Caudill Little Foundation to establish the W. Paul and Lucille Caudill Little Endowment for Study of the Arts. This endowment will provide scholarships for students primarily from Rowan and Elliott counties who pursue a baccalaureate degree in art, music and theatre.

“The generosity of the Little Foundation will transform the face of arts education at MSU,” said President Wayne D. Andrews. “We are honored to receive such a sizable gift and excited to begin recruiting our first class of Little scholarship recipients.”

“I am auditioning against recent graduates from NYU, Columbia and Roosevelt, but when I take a moment to look at the amazing things that MSU alumni are doing in the performing arts industry, I can’t help but have all of the confidence in the world!”

CIRCLE OF EXCELLENCE MSU is fortunate to have several donors join the prestigious annual giving recognition society, the Circle of Excellence. Circle members’ leadership gifts, combined with unrestricted gifts of other annual donors, allow the MSU Foundation to meet some of the greatest needs of the campus. Funding of these needs is determined through the University Needs List process. This process enables any area of the campus to submit a request for funding to enhance a program. The needs are prioritized by the President’s Cabinet and funding is directed to nearly every area of the University. Through this process, the MSU Foundation funds more than $250,000 in campus needs annually. Some of the 2010 funded initiatives include:

• Upgraded classroom computers, improved student study areas, and computer software upgrades across campus • Support of the University Marching Band and University Pep Band • Funding of overseas study for language majors and minors • Visiting guest speakers and artists • Enhanced laboratory equipment • New musical instruments and sound equipment • Graduate assistantships and fellowships • Leadership workshops for current students

Circle of excellence Membership Benefits:

To show the University’s appreciation for the support of members of the Circle of Excellence, these donors receive several unique benefits including a specially designed broach or lapel pin signifying their level of support, an MSU Circle of Excellence static decal, recognition in the annual donor report and at donor recognition events, and special invitations to annual campus events.

How to Join: Contact the Office of Development at 877-690-4483 or e-mail giving@moreheadstate.edu. Membership in the Circle can be achieved through a one-time annual gift or quarterly or monthly gifts.

Creating A Legacy for

Future Generations...

Mary Logan Gilmer (57), was born in Lewis County in 1920. After graduating from Lewis County High School, Gilmer received a degree in elementary education from Morehead State University in 1957. She taught elementary education for many years in Charlotte, N.C. Gilmer was a firm believer in the value of a college education.

She overcame many obstacles, including the financial burdens associated with a college degree, to achieve her educational goals.

In 1992, she established the Mary Logan Gilmer Scholarship at Morehead State University. Her goal was simple, to help alleviate the financial burden for future students from her native Lewis County.

Since the scholarship was established 19 years ago, one Lewis County student has received an award each semester in amounts ranging from $250 - $500. While Gilmer was happy to help students with awards at this level, her ultimate goal was something grander.

When she passed away in September 2008, Gilmer left an estate gift to MSU, significantly accelerating the impact of her scholarship fund. Through the gift of her IRA, her prudent financial planning enabled the scholarship fund to grow to nearly a quarter of a million dollars! The investment income from the Mary Logan Gilmer Fund will allow deserving Lewis County students to benefit from her generosity indefinitely.

In the 2007 Alumni Directory, Gilmer noted her fondest memory of her college days: “I shall always remember the beautiful campus, the natural woods with all its sounds of nature in the early hours during the study of ornithology.�

With her endowment, Gilmer has ensured that many others will have the opportunity to experience life on the campus for years to come.

A recognition society for those who remember MSU through planned gifts.

Donations help to grow MSU agriculture.

The financial gifts of private donors are helping to plant and harvest an interest in agriculture for a new generation.

Professorship sends MSU education instructors Down Under.

The Ruth Boggs Shannon & E.L. Shannon Endowment for Education was implemented in June 2001 to establish elementary education professorships in the College of Education.

Endowed professors for 2010-11 were Dr. Jody Fernandez and Dr. Sara Lindsey, assistant professors, middle grades and secondary education. Along with two undergraduate research fellows, they traveled to Auckland, New Zealand, in spring 2010 where they helped develop an international student teaching experience for MSU’s College of Education.

While E.L. Shannon recently passed away, his wife Ruth remains an active donor to Morehead State.

At the Koru School in Au ckland, New Zealand, undergraduate research fellows Kelly Hollenkamp (left) and Brittany Campbell (right) lead a gr oup of students in Grades 6-7 through an integrated social studies/reading lesson.

2010 MEMORIAL GIFTS Memorial Gifts are a special way to honor a friend, loved one, teacher or student who has passed away.

These funds are often designated by friends and families at the time of the death of a loved one for contributions in that individual’s honor. By supporting the University, these gifts ensure a legacy for the deceased that extends far into the future.

When a memorial gift is made, the MSU Foundation will (if requested) notify the next of kin, and will administer the gift as directed by the donor.

Much more than a gift.

Trumpeter wins Gallaher Scholarship.

A cash prize that MSU’s best musicians give their all to win is made possible by MSU alumni giving back.

Each year MSU music students compete for the honor of performing at the Caudill College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences’ Academic Honors and Awards Convocation in the A. Frank and Bethel C. Gallaher Memorial Music Performance Competition.

Patrick Stouffer of Indianapolis, Ind. won the 24th annual competition. The trumpeter performed “Rustiques” by Eugue Bozza as his competition piece.

This event also awards the winner a $1,000 prize, one of many scholarship opportunities funded by private donors through the MSU Foundation Inc. Named for the late Ashland businessman A. Frank Gallaher and his wife, the parents of Dr. Christopher Gallaher (62), former chair of MSU’s then Department of Music, the competition is open to full-time junior level music majors with at least a 2.75 GPA. To participate, students must perform a work that is eight to 10 minutes in length from memory.

2010 HONORARY GIFTS Making an honorary gift is a generous and thoughtful way to recognize a person’s life and accomplishments.

Many gifts to the Foundation are made to honor a friend, commemorate an important holiday or life event, or pay tribute to a special teacher. An honorary donation to the MSU Foundation is a popular alternative to traditional gifts on birthdays, anniversaries and special events such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

When an honorary gift is made, the MSU Foundation will (if requested) notify the honoree, and will administer the gift as directed by the donor.
