Park University 2020-21 Impact Report

PARK UNIVERSITY

PARK Office of University Advancement

Dear Friends, The theologian Frederick Buechner defined one’s calling as “the place where your deep gladness and the world’s great hunger meet.” Buechner’s quote connects giving with passion — “deep gladness.” When our passion propels our giving, our impact is profound.

Passion is the common thread uniting Park University students, faculty and supporters.

At Park, our passion is helping students reach their goals by turning their passions into successful careers. Our donors invest in their passions by equipping the next generation of leaders and achievers.

In the following pages, you’ll meet donors who have paid forward their passions through gifts to Park University.

• You’ll read about a Park alumnus whose passion for service led him to establish a scholarship for military veterans.

• You’ll discover the passion for artistry that fuels Park’s International Center for Music and the donors who support it.

• You’ll learn about a family of Park alumni and donors whose passion for education has impacted generations of students through an endowed scholarship fund.

• You’ll meet a retired Park professor who funded a scholarship for students with a passion for justice and a financial services professional who hopes to spark a passion for leadership through scholarship support and career mentoring for female students.

Throughout its history, Park University has fostered passionate learning, passionate teaching and passionate giving. This would not be possible without the contributions of its donors. As a Park supporter, thank you for investing in passion.

Sincerely,

, Nathan Marticke, MACL 10 • Chief Advancement Officer • Park University

Ron and Phyllis Nolan

After attending a performance by the Kansas City Symphony with Behzod Abduraimov, Park University International Center for Music artist-in-residence, as the piano soloist, the Nolans were determined to know more.

“After the concert, we made it our mission to find out what was going on at Park,” said Phyllis. “We wanted to know what this program was and how it was producing artists like Behzod.”

The Nolans were so impressed with what Ron calls “this incredible gem of classical music right in our backyard,” they decided to sponsor a scholarship for a student. Their contribution funds full-time study for a piano protégé.

“There’s nothing like it in the region,” said Ron. “There’s nothing like it anywhere.”

As Kansas City Symphony subscribers, Ron and Phyllis Nolan are no strangers to memorable performances by world-class musicians.

Still, they knew they were in the presence of exceptional talent when pianist Behzod Abduraimov played with the Symphony as a featured soloist. Consulting their program, they were astonished to learn that Abduraimov is the artist-in-residence at Park University’s International Center for Music.

The Nolans discovered that the ICM is modeled on the European master/apprentice system, which pairs master instructors with a handful of gifted students. No other program in the U.S. allows student musicians to work as closely with master instructors. The program’s world-renowned instructors include pianist Stanislav Ioudenitch, who won the 11th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2001, celebrated violin pedagogue Ben Sayevich and cellist Daniel Veis, winner of the 1978 Tchaikovsky International Competition.

Park ICM students routinely win top prizes at prestigious international competitions throughout the world. Most recently, Kenny Broberg, who is pursuing an artist diploma certificate, won what some consider the national championship of piano competitions, the 2021 American Pianists Awards.

By funding a student’s education, the Nolans have become part of a family. They’ve gotten to know International Center for Music faculty and students, and feel a personal stake in the program’s success. In addition to advancing the career of a talented musician, they hope their support will help Park University’s boutique conservatory become more visible within and beyond Kansas City.

, Javier Centonzio, 09

When he enrolled at Park University after enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps and a deployment to Iraq with the Kansas National Guard, Javier Centonzio, ’09, knew that service would be part of his long-term career. But he didn’t yet know what civilian service would look like. Ron Brecke, Ph.D., retired Park University professor of political science, helped Centonzio fill in the picture.

“Dr. Brecke was also a Vietnam veteran,” Centonzio said. “He challenged me to not be defined by my past service or what had happened to me, but what I could do now.”

“With veterans, you already have a group of people who have shown their willingness to serve others,” Centonzio said. “I wanted to help them pursue higher education as a means of continuing to do that.”

With that mindset, Centonzio found his calling as a veterans’ advocate while still a student. He helped Park expand support services for veterans and win a $100,000 Success for Veterans Award from the American Council on Education and the Walmart Foundation. After graduation, he earned a law degree from Stetson University and an advanced degree in elder law to assist a growing population of aging veterans.

Centonzio believes that creating a scholarship is a powerful way for donors to influence the future. He previously established a scholarship at Stetson in memory of his friend, Sgt. Jessie Davila, who was killed during a mission in Baghdad. “If you want to change the way things are going, you can create a scholarship and tailor it to your values,” Centonzio said. “Instead of complaining, do something. Create a scholarship and recruit the next generation of leaders in your field.”

Now, Centonzio is honoring his mentor and helping the next generation of veterans pursue their calling through the Dr. Ron Brecke Veterans Scholarship.

Beginning in 2022, the scholarship will be awarded to a military veteran majoring in political science or public administration.

As a criminal justice administration professor at Park University, Carol Getty, Ph.D., taught her students that criminal justice is a “people business.”

“Criminal justice is more than law enforcement,” Getty said. “I wanted students to understand the broader system and how it helps people. That’s the purpose of the system: to help people become upstanding citizens.”

That was Getty’s vision as an instructor: to help students make a positive contribution to the criminal justice profession.

Carol Getty

Dr. Carol Getty

Getty, who retired in 2011, has established a scholarship to support students who have chosen that path. The scholarship will be awarded to a junior or senior criminal justice administration major in recognition of their dedication and accomplishment.

“I had some incredible students who worked hard for their education,” Getty said. “I wanted to say ‘good job’ and support these students as they moved into their careers. A scholarship was a way to do that.”

Getty said Park’s criminal justice administration program is among the best in the nation due to the diversity of its faculty, who have academic credentials combined with professional experience in law enforcement, corrections and the court system.

6

Getty arrived at Park with a distinguished background in corrections. She served for five years on the Arizona Board of Pardons and Paroles before President Ronald Reagan appointed her to the U.S. Parole Commission. President George H.W. Bush later named her chair of the Commission, becoming the first woman to serve in that capacity.

Getty recognizes opportunities earlier in life that opened the door for her achievements. She believes that establishing a scholarship is a way to foster and reward individual accomplishment in the next generation.

“I like the idea of making an impact on an individual,” she says. “That individual will disperse the benefits by making a contribution in their field.”

For brothers Jim and Tom Scheib, giving to Park University is a family affair.

Jim and Tom Scheib by the iconic mosaic on the first floor of Mackay Hall on Park University’s flagship Parkville (Mo.) Campus.

The Scheibs’ grandfather, B. William Scheib, graduated from Park University in 1908. His three children followed in his footsteps, each turning their Park education into a remarkable career. Jim and Tom’s father, Burton, became an orthopedic surgeon. Their aunt, Lillian, was one of the first women admitted to the medical school at Indiana University and became a pediatrician. Their uncle, Hal, and his wife, Wini, also a Park alumna, founded a special effects company in Hollywood and won two Academy Awards.

The Scheibs have been giving back to Park since Jim’s and Tom’s grandmother established the Scheib Family Endowed Scholarship in memory of their grandfather, who died in 1940.

The first scholarship was a $50 award to a pre-med student.

Today the Scholarship supports Park students majoring in communications, science or finance. Jim and Tom continue to contribute to their family’s scholarship fund as both have inherited a commitment to education. Jim, a retired partner in an insurance and financial services firm, has served on several advisory boards at the University of Toledo. Tom is the retired

director of an organization that partners with community colleges to help unemployed adults obtain an education.

“We want to help people get a college education because that means they have a real opportunity to go on and make something of their careers,” Tom said.

Jim agrees. He recently expanded his giving by including a bequest to Park in his estate plan. Jim said his decision was affirmed when he and Tom visited Park’s flagship Parkville (Mo.) Campus in September, where Jim presented a guest lecture in the new Robert W. Plaster Center Free Enterprise Center and School of Business finance lab. The Scheibs saw Park University fulfilling its mission to provide a quality, accessible education that prepares students for lifetime success.

“People give to things that make an impact,” said Jim. “Park is making an impact.”

Pam Johnson

Pam Johnson is dedicated to helping women gain financial literacy and leadership skills.

As a State Farm Insurance agent in Gilbert, Ariz., Johnson equips her female clients to take an active role in household financial planning.

“Financial pressure can be disabling,” Johnson said.

“I’m hoping I can take the pressure off a couple students, like that scholarship did for me.”

In her own field, Johnson has noted an underrepresentation of women in leadership.

Statistically, women fill more than half of entry-level jobs in North America’s financial services industry, but fewer than one in five executive roles.

“It’s important for me to give back to the community,” Johnson said. “This is how I’ve chosen to do it, by providing opportunities through education.”

In addition to funding a scholarship, Johnson looks forward to providing career mentoring and financial seminars for students in the near future.

To promote financial leadership in the next generation of women, Johnson has established the Pam Johnson Women in Business Scholarship for female business majors at Park University’s Gilbert Campus. “I wanted to help young women further their education so they can have an incredible career,” said Johnson.

The first recipients of Johnson’s scholarship received support for the 2020-21 academic year, and additional awards were given this year. Johnson hopes the funds will allow recipients to focus on their studies, reducing their need for outside employment to finance their education. Johnson worked three jobs while attending college and recalls the impact of a $500 scholarship she received.

The COVID-19 pandemic hit the

performing arts community

particularly hard. With the help

of Park University’s steadfast

International Center for Music donors and a grant from the Richard J. Stern Foundation for the Arts, the annual Stanislav & Friends gala concert had to be reinvented.

With honorary co-chairs Kay Barnes and Tom Van Dyke at the helm, creativity was key. An indoor concert was not be feasible during a pandemic, so efforts focused on recording and producing a concert experience unlike any other. The production opened with a dramatic view from the National World War I Museum and Memorial where superstar pianist Behzod Abduraimov, Park ICM artist-in-residence, played Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” under a blue sky.

With the resulting hour-long virtual concert and the Stern Foundation grant, Park University’s International Center for Music: •

Hosted 250 benefactors and friends to a party under the stars with classical music on the big screen at the Boulevard Drive-In Theatre in Kansas City, Kan., a first for most of our faculty, students and alumni

• Placed the concert on KSMO-TV in Kansas City, reaching more than 230,000 households in the region, and garnered a Mid-America region Emmy nomination for Park University and its production partner, Toto TV Media.

Park University faculty and staff give back to the University and the community in a variety of ways. In 2020-21, Park faculty and staff reported they volunteered nearly 300 hours in their communities as a part of the Staff Advisory Council’s Park Gives Back one-week volunteer initiative.

More than $2,000 was raised in 2020 to support the University’s Pirate Pantry and a holiday box campaign, providing groceries to make turkey dinners for more than 30 students during the Thanksgiving holiday.

#ParkUnited was exemplified in the 2021 It Starts with Us campaign for the Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center and School of Business as 100-plus faculty and staff raised more than $33,000. Park employees are recognized for their generous support in the Plaster Center’s second floor collaboration space. Stop by and see this unique art piece.
