2019-20 Oklahoma City University Endowment Report

This year, more than ever, we thank you for your generous gifts supporting Oklahoma City University’s endowment.

The past eight months have changed our world forever. We have stood witness to a pandemic and felt its impact across the globe. Our daily lives were suddenly disrupted and “unprecedented” became embedded in our vocabulary. Loss of life, illness and financial hardships have affected countless members of our communities. However, your ongoing generosity and belief in a brighter tomorrow has continued to bolster hope for our students and Oklahoma City University.

Together, we as a community, nation and world have an enduring impact upon a student’s life and future through philanthropy. Every gift you make is an investment in the lives of our students and has the power to change their world. At OCU, whether a student is pursuing an education in business, art, law, music, nursing, science, religion or the performing arts, we are committed to providing them the resources needed to ensure success in a global landscape that is more unpredictable than ever. Your gifts are the fuel that enables OCU students to create, lead, and serve by supporting online and classroom instruction, leadership opportunities and life-changing experiences. While the delivery method may look different this year, the outcome of a world-class education is the same.

Your gifts to the OCU endowment are more important than ever. They are vital to the strength of the institution and play a fundamental role in the continued growth and sustainability of Oklahoma City University. Your support helps to ensure that generations of OCU students experience an education that provides local impact with global reach and reputation. In other words, a true chance to change the world! An endowment creates a lasting legacy, and the income it generates enables us to invest in generations of students and faculty, technology, programs and facilities to ensure the OCU impact remains alive and well.

Thank you for investing in Oklahoma City University and our mission. We honor your generosity through effective investment strategies and stewardship of endowed funds. During fiscal year 2020, the total value of the OCU Endowment increased, and this year’s early returns look promising. On behalf of the Investment Committee, Development and Strategic Planning Committee and the entire Board of Trustees, we thank you for your extraordinary support.

All the best,

MANAGEMENT & STRATEGIES Oklahoma City University is committed to prudent, time-tested investment strategies and fiscal policies. The Board of Trustees Investment Committee is charged with overseeing its funds and measuring the returns they produce against nationally recognized standards and metrics for investment performance.

Broad Asset Allocations OCU Endowment • $77.1 million

The Board of Trustees Investment Committee actively monitors the financial markets to control risk and evaluate exposure for all asset classes. The Oklahoma United Methodist Foundation serves as the advisor and record keeper, and Wespath Institutional Investments serves as investment manager to the Board of Trustees Investment Committee.

In managing the endowment, the University seeks to balance the dual objectives of enhancing the future purchasing power of endowment funds and meeting current spending needs. The endowment is invested with a long-term horizon to ensure that it will grow at a rate above inflation, while providing a stable stream of income to support the purposes for which its funds were created.

Endowment growth is due not only to the generosity of thousands of alumni, friends, corporations, and foundations through the years, but also to the careful stewardship provided by the Board of Trustees.

Asset Class Overview OCU’s directly managed endowment portfolio of $77,056,530 was composed of these asset classes as of June 30, 2020. The guiding principle of OCU’s consolidated endowment program is that funds should be managed so that a gift today will fund a donor’s objective in perpetuity.

NEW ENDOWMENTS This report tells the stories of three endowments begun in fiscal year 2020, and our generous donors also established these two additional endowments this year:

Virginia Everitt Lovell Endowed Music Scholarship Established in fall 2019 honoring the late Virginia Everitt Lovell by her children, the scholarship will provide assistance to students pursuing any music degree within in the Bass School of Music. Although no members of the Lovell family attended OCU, the children elected to provide this scholarship gift to the university because of its prestigious and well-known music school.

Loretta T. Freeland, MacKenzie C. Thompson Sr. and Thelma H. Thompson Quasi Endowed Scholarship Fund Established in spring 2020 by Ms. Barbara Steinberg and Mr. Jack Thompson, the heirs of Loretta, Mackenzie and Thelma. Ms. Steinberg and Mr. Thompson elected to merge two existing endowments established in 1994 and 2004 in to one. The new fund will provide emergency scholarship assistance to students who are deemed to have extreme financial hardship and are unable to pay for their tuition, books or fees in order to complete the most current academic semester.

THE HAMS

A Strong Connection

U Jin and Irene Ham first met in 1954 while U Jin was on a return trip to South Korea over the Christmas holiday. U Jin had left for Oklahoma City University shortly after the Korean War and became one of the first Korean students to attend an American university. As fate would have it, U Jin and Irene would meet again two years later on the OCU campus.

As U Jin worked toward an accounting degree and Irene a degree in biology, they received many lessons, both in class and living in Oklahoma City, to help them succeed as immigrants and future citizens — and as husband and wife.

“My aunt Irene and her late husband, U Jin Ham, feel grateful and indebted to OCU for the education they received and the chance to grow and learn in a free, democratic society full of hope and opportunity,” Irene’s nephew Arthur Chang said.

Irene and U Jin understood the value of a college education, but it seemed a far-fetched dream as they grew up in financially lacking households in Pyongyang and Seoul, respectively. They both received financial assistance in order to attend OCU, making their dreams a reality.

After graduating with their bachelor’s degrees, the pair attended the University of Missouri and pursued graduate degrees. Their next adventure took them to Chicago, where U Jin worked as an accountant and Irene became a cancer researcher at the Northwestern University Hospital.

Irene developed a passion for higher education throughout her years in school and working for Northwestern University.

Even after spending 30 years in Chicago and relocating to Southern California, they felt most connected to their alma maters’ communities.

“Giving back to OCU was an easy decision, and they have been making annual donations for a number of years,” Chang said. “My aunt’s decision to make a more significant contribution through an education endowment will hopefully be everlasting. She has a chance to give back and help other OCU students in need of financial assistance, as she was helped when she was a college student in need.”

LEAD

THE GAMBLES

Education Leads to Joy of Giving

While attending law school at Oklahoma City University, Gerald Gamble’s friend asked if he would want to pursue a relationship with her “really cute” friend from Laverne, Oklahoma, to which he responded, “Where’s Laverne?”

Decades later, Jerry and Jane Jayroe had their first date at a dinner party hosted by Oklahoma Attorney General Robert Henry, complete with a sing-a-long farewell.

“When Jerry joined right in with a big voice and obvious love of music, I knew we had a future,” Jane said.

One first date and 26 years of marriage later, the Gambles still share a passion for music, philanthropy, and OCU. “Being a part of the OCU family has been a tremendous gift to us,” Jane said. “We believe in what OCU produces — students who become involved, educated, and caring citizens — and we’re proud to belong to this place.”

Receiving a high-quality education wasn’t an effortless task. Both Jerry and Jane developed a desire to help their alma mater’s students because of the assistance they received during their educational journeys.

Jerry attended graduate school at Stanford University as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow and credits OCU Law’s flexibility for allowing him to attend night school while working full time selling real estate.

“We believe that education is one of the most important gifts you can provide for others to enhance their future opportunities,” he said. “It’s a privilege to be able to help students become who they’ve been created to be.”

As the daughter of two educators, Jane’s dream of attending OCU only turned to reality because of generous donors who made her scholarships possible.

Over the years, the Gambles have invested heavily in the

Page 6 • OCU Endowment Report 2019–20

education of OCU’s students, providing funds for the Law School and Kramer School of Nursing. Most recently, they have decided to establish a $500,000 scholarship for music theater students in honor of Jane’s degree in music education.

“While her career has reflected other forms of communication, music theater has always been something we have enjoyed together,” Jerry said. “We have especially enjoyed knowing many of the OCU students who have gone on to perform professionally. We hope to continue being supportive of OCU in the future.”

Donating their resources to the university has become as much of a gift to the Gambles as it is to its students, Jane said.

“We have been blessed to know many of the donors, professors and staff who pour themselves into this institution to make it a place where magic and maturity happen, educationally and spiritually,” she said. “Oklahoma City is our home, and OCU is the city’s university and has provided great leaders of high character in a variety of fields.”

Jerry’s ongoing career in commercial and industrial real estate through the Gerald L. Gamble Company and Jane’s 16-year career in broadcast journalism have been balanced by the dedication of their time and money to various causes in the Oklahoma City area.

Jane has been appointed to leadership positions by four governors and served as Cabinet Secretary of Tourism and Director of Tourism and Recreation. She was the first woman to chair the Oklahoma Academy and has served as a trustee of OCU and the Oklahoma City Community Foundation. She was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 2007 and is the incoming president of the Oklahoma City Philharmonic Board. She is an author and

intimidated me as a student. They had great reputations and were very demanding, and they treated me with as much interest as any of their more gifted students. They became more than teachers; they became mentors.”

“Education has given us a better life and the ability to experience the enormous joy of giving to others,” she said.

REMEMBERING DR. JOHN STARKEY

An Impact Beyond Measure

Dr. John Starkey spent more than two decades devoted to teaching, challenging and empowering students at Oklahoma City University. At the time of his passing in January, the dedicated Millhouse Professor of Theology had earned numerous honors, including Outstanding Faculty Award, Undergraduate Research Mentoring Award, Excellence in Teaching Award for Full-Time Faculty, and Distinguished Honors Professor four times.

But Dr. Starkey’s legacy is most embodied by tributes from students and colleagues. In the months since his earthly departure, hundreds have joined together to celebrate his life.

“In a time when we long for authenticity and honesty, Dr. Starkey brought that to all of his classes,” said former student Zoe Dongas. “He was a man who felt deeply and shared truthfully. He didn’t hide behind any walls. With tears in his eyes, he shared with us his achievements as well as his faults.”

Several noted Dr. Starkey’s trustworthiness and commitment beyond the classroom, as well as his love for trees and nature.

He could often be seen enjoying a walk around campus.

The Rev. Kayla Bonewell (BA Religion ’02) reflected on her relationship with Dr. Starkey as they began their OCU journey together in 1998. As a freshman religion major, she recognized his special character and dedication to each person he encountered. Bonewell said the smallest details will stick with her the most, from the slightly illegible green ink on his students’ papers to his commitment to carpooling and reducing his impact on the climate.

After learning that his students couldn’t read his written feedback, he started typing his responses — which became just as long as the papers themselves. She credits him with “shaping the person” she has become.

The beloved teacher and mentor spent 21 years improving the experience religion students had at OCU. Dr. Mark Davies, OCU’s Wimberly Professor of Social and Ecological Ethics, spoke of his relationship with Dr. Starkey at Boston

University as graduate students and later OCU colleagues during his memorial service.

“Like all of you, I so deeply cherish the personal connection I had with John Starkey, and I know that he deeply cherished the personal connection that he had with all of you,” Dr. Davies said. “His many years under spiritual direction in which he engaged in deep spiritual discernment made him a natural mentor for many of the younger graduate students like myself, though he never made any of us feel as if we were not his equal.”

Although students and faculty alike lament the loss after his passing, Dr. Starkey’s presence is still felt at OCU and in the lives he touched throughout the years. Our community is a better place because of his dedication.

WANSLEY & DAVISON

A Growing Appreciation Attending Oklahoma City University “started a whole sequence of events in my life, which led me to where I am right now. It came at a time when that was exactly what I needed — a place like that — and that is what was delivered.”

That’s how Dr. Richard Wansley (BA Philosophy, Psychology ’71) remembers his formative years at OCU. Little did he know it then, but some of the most important things in his life would converge on his educational path — lifelong interests, career, even marriage.

“Like most things in life, we wouldn’t be where we are right now if a sequence of events hadn’t occurred before us.”

Dr. Meredith Davison (BA Philosophy ’69), who years later would become his wife, was on a different path, albeit with similar interests. Her reflections of OCU also evolved as time went on. Especially later in her career, when Meredith realized the differences between large, impersonal colleges

(where she’d go on to work in medicine and public health) versus the more intimately connected schools like OCU. “The longer I worked and grew older, got to know more people and what other places have, I started to realize how great OCU had been and what a great opportunity I had there,” she noted. “My brother had left OCU, but he came back years later to graduate. I was impressed by how OCU gave people second chances.”

Meredith first heard about OCU from her church youth group director in Seminole, Oklahoma. Later she earned a scholarship to attend the University of Oklahoma but was also on a waiting list for a Great Plan Scholarship at OCU. Just before school started, the Great Plan offer arrived.

“As a student, I very much appreciated the opportunities I had at OCU. I was on a scholarship and wouldn’t have been able to attend otherwise.

The Gold Star Society is happy to recognize Dr. Richard Wansley and Dr. Meredith Davison, who have made an everlasting gift within their will to sustain the future of Oklahoma City University. The Gold Star Society honors alumni, donors, and individuals who have chosen to support the university through a deferred or estate gift, regardless of the

Dr. Richard Wansley and Dr. Meredith Davison “I was there at a wonderful time. The school was really growing, there were lots of things going ahead, and a lot of leadership opportunities,” she said.

Richard got a slower start on his higher education pursuit.

He followed his friends from Duncan, Oklahoma, right after high school to the University of Oklahoma, but it wasn’t a “good fit.” After taking a year off, Richard returned to OU for one more semester but fell back into the same educational speedbumps as before.

Meanwhile, his parents had moved to Oklahoma City. When visiting them, Richard would pass the campus on N.W. 23rd Street and wonder whether OCU would be a better fit.

After visits with administrators and admissions officials, Richard decided to give it a shot.

“I heard it was a very sound university, and it had less

‘distractions’ than what I’d experienced before in college,” he said.

The couple first met after Meredith had finished her undergraduate degree. She had returned to campus to visit her younger brother, who was a classmate of Richard’s. A few years later, they hit it off as graduate students at the OU Health Sciences campus.

As time has passed, the couple’s fondness for their undergraduate alma mater has continued to grow to the point that they decided to include it in their estate plans.

“As we were getting older, we started to think about how to make a difference with what we were fortunate enough to accumulate. OCU came to the top of both of our minds,” Meredith said. “We want to help others as we feel like we’ve been helped. I feel like people were put on this earth to make it better, and that’s an opportunity to do so.”

ENDOWMENT FAQS What is an endowment?

Individual endowments represent the legacy of benevolent donors who invest for longterm growth. An endowment is timeless because the long-term aim is to conserve both the corpus and purchasing power. The investment income and gains earned from an endowment advance the strategic vision of the donor on a continual basis.

Why are endowments important?

Endowments build a legacy of support that spans generations. As a permanent legacy, they will continue to give educational opportunities to the most talented students long into the future. They also allow OCU to recruit and retain the best teachers to build programs and act as esteemed mentors to our students.

What are the minimum endowment levels to establish a named endowed fund?

The minimum gift required to establish a named endowment fund is $25,000.

Endowment gifts can be pledged and paid over a period of up to five years.

Some examples of minimum guides for named endowed funds are: Scholarship: $25,000 Professorship: $1 million Chair: $2 million Whose name is on the endowment?

Donors are encouraged to name their

endowed fund in a way that is meaningful to them. Many donors establish an endowment in honor of a specific person — a family member, professor or coach — and name the fund accordingly. Endowments can also be named more broadly for the discipline they support or the group or individuals who establish them.

Can I give to an existing endowment?

Yes. Unless you state otherwise in your memorandum of understanding when the gift is established, the fund can be left “open” to future gifts from you or others who choose to support the fund. While there is a minimum of $25,000 to establish a new endowment, there is no minimum gift required for increasing the size of an existing endowment.

Can I choose what my endowment supports?

Yes. A number of donors to Oklahoma City University choose to restrict how their funds can be used. You can designate your gift to support a particular school or program, special initiative, library, or other opportunity at the University or establish an endowment whose income may be utilized at the discretion of the Board to meet strategic needs.

How is an endowed fund invested?

OCU adheres to investment policies intended to provide a balance of risk and return in the portfolio. The investment portfolio is diversified to keep volatility

within acceptable limits for the portfolio as a whole. This provides the greatest assurance that future generations benefit from the endowment as much as current students.

When will an endowment begin generating payout that can be spent?

Once the initial gift has been received, the minimum required funding levels have been achieved, and all required paperwork has been completed, initial payout of funds typically will become available after 12 months. Individual gifts in excess of 50% of the market value will become available after 12 months.

How is the amount of annual payout determined and then distributed?

The amount of payout allocated each year varies because it is based on the market value of the endowment portfolio for the last twenty (20) quarters. The Board of Trustees reviews and approves the spending rate annually. The average spending rate for the past five years has been approximately five percent of the endowment’s average market value.

How does the endowment increase in value?

While investment returns help to fuel the growth of OCU’s endowment, the addition of gifts is important over the long term.

Recurring contributions are important because this allows for averaging the cost basis over time.

Advancing OCU Cash, securities, or planned gifts are excellent ways to build an existing endowment or establish a new fund.
