DEAR

FRIENDS What a year, Bearcats! The introduction of five professional schools. Profession-based learning continuing to take shape across curricular and co-curricular offerings. Best college in Missouri for getting a job by zippia.com. National championships.

We released a study showing $66.5 million in cost containment and efficiencies during the last four years – and this coupled nicely with the recent economic impact study showing Northwest provides $617.5 million in added regional income.

We completed our campus master plan and moved the School of Agricultural Sciences to the Dean L. Hubbard Center for Innovation.

Our Fourth Street Improvement Project was named a “Great Places” recipient for the state of Missouri.

Bearcat confidence elevated support through three major gift announcements. We celebrated our first endowed professorship – the Dennis C. Dau Endowed Professorship in Instrumental Music. The naming of the Michael L. Faust Center for Alumni and Friends was made possible through the support of the Suzanne and Walter Scott Foundation. The naming of the Carl and Cheryl Hughes Fieldhouse came via the generosity of the Hughes Family Foundation – and unprecedented major gift support from the Founding 50 donor team.

Our donors and alumni are so passionate about Northwest, and we are grateful for the support you continue to show the University. Your gifts are a testament to belief in our mission of focusing on student success – every student every day – and our focus on providing a quality education that is accessible and affordable to all. Further, this level of private support is another indicator of Northwest’s strength and culture as an institution known for being safe, trusted, invested and resourceful.

Our priorities remain clear as we accelerate toward developing philanthropic partnerships in academic excellence, agricultural sciences, scholarships and the Northwest Fund.

With Bearcat fervor,

DONORS SUPPORTING

NORTHWEST’S

FUTURE

Hughes Fieldhouse will enhance student, community engagement When Northwest began formulating plans to build a facility designed to enhance student engagement and wellness, raise its competitive advantage in collegiate athletics and enrich partnerships with the Maryville community, Melvin ’67 and Valorie Booth were among the first to join the team.

“One of the reasons we stepped up early on with a significant gift was to put a meaningful number to it and let people know we’re serious about it, and we really believe in the future,” Mel Booth said.

The steel skeleton of the Hughes Fieldhouse began rising from the ground this fall.

The Booth family’s seven-figure gift in support of the Carl and Cheryl Hughes Fieldhouse helped propel the Northwest Foundation and the University to break ground in June on the 137,250 square-foot, $20 million facility, which is designed to serve a multitude of social, recreational and economic needs for the University and region.

While the project represents the single largest public-private partnership in Northwest’s 112year history and one of the largest such projects in the region ever, donors have so far committed $13.5 million to it through donations and pledges secured by the Northwest Foundation. Multiple other sources, including the University and students, are contributing to the project while a remaining $150,000 gap must be raised to complete the facility.

The Booths are among the leading supporters of the project, joining Carl ’76 and Cheryl Deweerdt Hughes ’78 and the Hughes Family Foundation, the city of Maryville and Nodaway Valley Bank as “team captains” of the Founding 50, a group representing donors giving $50,000 and greater.

“This, to me, is a game changer,” Mel Booth said. “Northwest has always been at the forefront of delivering a top-notch education and student engagement experience. The Hughes Fieldhouse represents the next step in this evolution to keep Northwest on the cutting edge.”

Since graduating from Northwest with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, Mel Booth has led multibillion dollar companies worldwide in the pharmaceutical and life sciences fields.

He and his wife, Valorie, established the Melvin D. and Valorie G. Booth Bethany Business Scholarship at Northwest in 2001 after making a major gift to the University to establish the Booth School of Business, which was subsequently named in their honor.

Supporters of the University and the community have found ways to contribute to the campaign, and the Booths actively encourage others to be a part of it – at any level of giving.

Nodaway Valley Bank also has a long-standing partnership that dates back to before Northwest’s 1905 founding when the bank’s president at that time, James B. Robinson, helped make sure state officials looking at locations for a new state college came to Maryville.

Through the years, Nodaway Valley Bank has given to Northwest in support of scholarships and academic programing. In 2012, the bank provided a large cash gift that resulted in Northwest’s state-of-the-art video board at Bearcat Stadium.

“This University is very important to the city, to our area, to the people that live here,” James G. Robinson, Nodaway Valley Bank’s chief executive officer, said.

“Without things like this progressing, you would see a different population. Without the University in Nodaway County, this would be a lot different economic situation, and it’s always been a part of the bank.”

A grand opening of the Hughes Fieldhouse is targeted during summer 2018.

Northwest Foundation reaches historic levels for contributions in FY17 The Northwest Foundation, the fundraising arm of Northwest, recorded a historic fiscal year 2017, securing nearly $13 million in donor funding while exceeding its goal for the year by 82 percent.

The historic year included three sevenfigure gifts, while the average gift increased 20 percent to about $4,700, outdoing peer institutions by 16 percent. Ninety-four percent of the total funds raised by the Foundation were cash contributions, which also is an all-time high for the organization.

“Our donors and alumni are so passionate about Northwest, and we are grateful for the support they continue to show the University,” Northwest President Dr. John Jasinski said. “Their gifts are a testament to their belief in our mission of focusing on student success – every student every day – and our focus on providing a quality education that is accessible and affordable to all. Further, this level of private support is another indicator of Northwest’s strength and culture as an institution known for being safe, trusted, invested and resourceful.”

Among the Foundation’s FY17 highlights, with the support of a lead gift by the Hughes Family Foundation, was the June groundbreaking for the Carl and Cheryl Hughes Fieldhouse. The Founding 50, a group of lead donors who have committed gifts of $50,000 or greater to the project, grew to a membership of 74 donors whose

gifts represent 99 percent of the dollars raised. Already one of the largest publicprivate partnerships ever in the region, the project also has secured the largest amount of donor funding for a capital project in Northwest’s history.

Scholarship support remains a central mission of the Foundation, which awarded a record of nearly $1 million to 1,146 students during FY17. That is a 13-percent increase from the prior year, while the average award increased by 20 percent to a high of about $850 per scholarship.

Furthermore, the Foundation achieved a 3 percent increase in funding raised through its 1905 Society during FY17. The 1905 Society is the premier giving society for annual gifts, recognizing supporters who make an annual unrestricted gift of $1,000 or more. It has doubled its membership since its inception in 2007.

The average gift supporting the Foundation’s annual giving program increased by 11 percent, while giving

by Northwest faculty and staff reached a historic 45 percent during FY17, representing the highest percentage in the institution’s history and a 59 percent increase in dollars raised from FY16. The giving level by Northwest employees places the institution among the top 75 percent of all master’s-granting institutions, while Northwest alumni giving outpaces peer

institutions by nearly 6 percent.

In addition to its annual giving programs and donor stewardship, the Foundation’s alumni engagement activities saw success.

The Northwest Alumni Association in February chartered the Black Alumni and Friends chapter as its 21st affiliate group.

The number of Alumni Associationsponsored events increased by 37 percent while alumni volunteer hours dedicated to organizing and hosting events increased by 51 percent from FY16. The Northwest Alumni Association counts its membership as 70,000 alumni and friends of the University.

The Northwest Foundation, a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit corporation, is responsible for receiving, investing, stewarding and disbursing private support on behalf of the donors of Northwest Missouri State University for the benefit of the University, its students, faculty, staff and alumni. The Northwest Foundation, governed by a 33-member volunteer board of directors, is staffed by members of Northwest’s Office of University Advancement.

The Foundation’s total assets under management increased 11 percent to $34.9 million while its endowment stands at nearly $24.2 million. In FY17, the Foundation provided $6.3 million to the University to support various needs.

JACI REEVES

Reeves, of Newton, Iowa, is a sophomore agricultural education major and a recipient of the F.B. Houghton Memorial Scholarship and the Alber t and Virginia Winemiller Scholarship.

“Without the scholarships I received, I would not be able to attend college,” she said. “I did not have to take out as many loans to pay for my college due to the scholarships. To the donors of the scholarships I received, a thank you does not do your good deed justice. You are the ones that make attending college possible.”

Reeves, the first in her family to attend a four-year institution, selected Nor thwest for its small class sizes and is grateful

NORTHWEST BRIDGE MAGAZINE I WINTER 2016

for the relationships she has developed with faculty. She is a member of Sigma Society, a service organization for women at Nor thwest, and says her involvement in clubs and organizations has enabled her growth. Reeves also takes advantage of Supplemental Instruction sessions to maintain her 4.0 grade-point average.

“I have gained many skills and oppor tunities that I would not have gotten anywhere else,” Reeves said. “Nor thwest has also pushed me to be a more studious student.”

After completing her degree, she plans to return to Iowa and teach agriculture at the high school level.

LIFETIME GIVING

HERITAGE SOCIETY JAMES H. LEMON HERITAGE SOCIETY These donors have created a planned or deferred gift for the University or Foundation. There is no minimum level of gift required.

James H. Lemon, a member of the Missouri House of Representatives, introduced House Bill No. 311, also known at the time as the “Nodaway County Normal bill.”

Fighting against strong opposition in the House, Lemon is credited with establishing the Fifth District Normal School as Northwest was originally known. His efforts culminated 30 years of struggle to bring higher education to the region.

As students in the early 1900s arrived at the Maryville train depot, one of the first sights to the west of the station was the impressive turrets atop the institution’s Academic Hall, later known as the Administration Building. Through devastating tornados and a destructive fire, the Administration Building and its turrets have withstood the test of time, standing tall as an enduring symbol of Northwest.

The original architect’s plans for the campus, which were modeled after Cambridge University, included a large quadrangle, marked on the most northern point by the Administration Building, with all future campus buildings built facing the quadrangle. While the original plans were never realized, the first sidewalk built from the entrance at Fourth Street ran straight up to the front door of the Administration Building and became known as the Long Walk.

NORTHWEST DEDICATES MICHAEL L. FAUST CENTER FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS The Northwest community gathered in October to celebrate the expansion of its alumni center and honor Michael L. Faust ’74, whose name is now attached to the historic structure.

The dedication ceremony of the Michael L. Faust Center for Alumni and Friends was the culmination of a construction project the University and its Northwest Foundation announced last year after receiving a $1 million gift commitment from the Suzanne and Walter Scott Foundation of Omaha in Faust’s honor.

“Mike’s commitment to Northwest Missouri State University is unprecedented, through his extensive sharing of his time, his talent and his many treasures,” Mike Johnson ’85, Northwest’s vice president of university advancement and the executive director of the Northwest Foundation, said. “Mike’s loyalty goes beyond a passion to make his beloved alma mater a better place to learn and grow. His servant leadership has been demonstrated over the numerous ways in which he has single handedly devoted himself to others, giving in so many ways as a donor, on our board and as executive in residence.”

Faust dedicated a 36-year career to Peter Kiewit Sons’ Inc., an Omaha, Nebraska, company where Walter Scott was chairman and chief executive officer. Faust, who retired in 2015 as the assistant to the chairman, also is a director of the Scott Foundation and a staunch supporter of the Scotts’ civic and philanthropic activities.

Faust is a passionate supporter of the University and one of the Northwest Foundation Board’s longest-serving directors, joining in 2002 and serving as president of the Board from 2008 to 2010.

Multiple Northwest students benefit each academic year from his Michael L. Faust Scholarship, and, in 2015, he provided financial support to upgrade a media lab that serves students in the University’s School of Communication and Mass Media.

Additionally, he made a significant contribution toward the construction of the Robert and Virginia Foster Fitness Center.

After retiring from Kiewit, Faust accepted an appointment as 18

After completing the 15-month appointment, he donated 100 percent of his compensation to the new Booth School of Business.

He has established an irrevocable estate gift for Northwest through a remainder trust and is one of only 11 members in Northwest’s history to be part of the Turret Society, the institution’s highest recognition for donors.

The expansion added nearly 3,000 square feet to the rear of the home that now includes nine offices and a conference room named in honor of Florence Abarr Lawhead ’42, who served on the Northwest Foundation Board of Directors and was active with the Northwest Alumni Association’s Arizona Alumni and Friends Chapter.

The Fifth District Normal School opened in 1905, offering two-year programs to educate teachers for the region. The name was changed to Northwest Missouri State Teachers College in 1919 as the curriculum began to focus on four-year programs. As its prominence as a regional institution began to grow and the fields of study continued to expand, the name was changed to Northwest Missouri State College in 1949. Finally, as the breadth of its programs continued to increase, especially graduate studies, the name Northwest Missouri State University was approved in 1972. No matter the formal name, the institution has always been known by its alumni and friends as Northwest.

SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT:

CALEB LILES Liles, a freshman biomedical science major from Maryville, is the recipient of scholarships sponsored by the Wilma Hall 20th Century Club, Maryville Kiwanis Club, Maryville Rotary Club and the Maryville Host Lions.

“Receiving scholarships has made my time at Nor thwest more enjoyable,” he said. “I do not have to stress about paying for college as much, and I do not have to stress about always working to pay for college. Not having to constantly work allows me more time to study and get involved on campus.”

Liles said he chose to attend Nor thwest to remain close to his home, for its friendly atmosphere and the ability to build close, professional relationships with faculty. “All the teachers are willing to help you if you ask, and in class I am known as Caleb, not a number.”

Deloris Warnecke David E. & Jenny Warren Daniel B. Watkins David Weichinger Scott & Kathy E. Weidner Yichen Weng Beth M. Wheeler Pamela (Roese) Wilcox Christina Westfall Wiley Gerald W. & Robin L. (Lewis) Wilmes

Through his coursework and membership in the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity and the PreHealth Occupations Club, Liles says Nor thwest is changing him “in thousands of ways” and shaping him into a more well-rounded individual. “Becoming more responsible, a better person, and more outgoing are just three of the many ways Northwest has changed me,” he said. “College is very different from anything else that I have done, which has changed me for the better.”

Liles says he is thankful to the donors who suppor t the scholarships he received and for enabling him to pursue his dream of becoming a doctor and perhaps practicing in a rural community like Maryville. After completing his bachelor’s degree at Nor thwest, he intends to enroll in medical school.

ANNUAL GIVING

THE LAKE VIEW CLUB These donors contributed between $250 and $499 between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017.

The lake on campus was created during the tenure of President Uel W. Lamkin.

Known as Lamkin Lake, College Pond and now Colden Pond, the area has always been a popular place for students to gather and relax. Included in the surrounding geography are the well-known Kissing Bridge, the Karen Hawkins Memorial Peace Pavilion and Joyce and Harvey White International Plaza, making the south entrance to campus a visual masterpiece.

MATCHING GIFT COMPANIES Most large corporations encourage volunteerism and charitable giving and are willing to match, dollar for dollar - or even greater - the amount that their employees donate to higher education. Along with matching monetary donations, some match volunteer hours with a cash amount. To find out if you or your spouse’s employer will match your gift, talk with your human resources office.
