2011 Park University Report to Investors

Collaboration 2010-2011 Report to Investors

Collaboration "If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself." — Henry Ford Park University celebrates a year defined by collaboration — across campuses, communities and continents.

At Park, we believe in bringing together people, knowledge and expertise to cultivate new ideas and new opportunities. The whole is truly greater than the sum of our parts.

We are grateful to all of our valued partners — alumni, donors, business and civic leaders, students, faculty and staff — who are generously moving Park forward to an even brighter future.

Vision Statement

Park University, a pioneering institution of higher learning since 1875, will provide leadership in quality, innovative education for a diversity of learners who will excel in their professional and personal service to the global community.

Mission Statement

Park University provides access to a quality higher education experience that prepares a diverse community of learners to think critically, communicate effectively, demonstrate a global perspective and engage in lifelong learning and service to others.

Core Values Accountability Civility and Respect Excellence Global Citizenship Inclusivity Integrity

Dear Friends, Collaboration in a single media, closed environment is a simple process. In our intermingling world that has resulted in profound global interdependency, though, collaboration is very complex. Everyone and every industry strives to excel and be influential in this global economy. As an early leader in global collaboration, Park University has advanced to a level of confidence that has resulted in important local, national and international relationships that will help shape our direction in global education.

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said a potential solution included relinquishing protectionist views toward international education, and embracing an ethic in which “advancing education everywhere brings benefits to everyone.”

At Park, we believe it is our responsibility to provide tangible evidence of excellence that not only demonstrates the amazing possibilities when education is enhanced by collaboration, but also to provide encouragement through example to those who may be inspired to excel.

Active participation in groundbreaking organizations, whether local, national or international, are critical elements to ensuring we remain a frontrunner in

shaping the next iteration of global education. For example, I recently returned from a trip to Brussels, Belgium, where Park received two prestigious awards.

Angie Peterson, director of the Office of International Education and Study Abroad, was named the 2011 Outstanding Campus Adviser, while Charif Hamidi, a 2011 Park graduate, received the 2011 University Chapter Leadership Award, from People to People International, an organization that seeks to enhance international understanding and friendship.

Closer to home, Park University trustee Danny O'Neill (founder of The Roasterie in Kansas City) and I joined in a roundtable discussion, sponsored by NAFSA: Association of International Educators, which explored the roles of both education and private business in developing a global workforce. In addition, I was honored to be asked to serve as co-chair of the Greater Kansas City Area Development Council's Higher Education Task Force, which is charged with developing a comprehensive approach at how education is provided and the workforce is trained through the institutions in the region. At the same time, teams from Park are exploring new institutional partnership opportunities in China, Malaysia and Puerto Rico.

In the pages that follow, you will read stories of individuals and companies that are active collaborators with Park, its students and faculty.

In every story there is a message of alliance with Park that helps propel our mission of accessible

education for our world. Sometimes, the cooperative aspect is clear; in others, it is not as evident. It is always, though, clear that you — our alumni, friends, supporters and advocates — are the foundational strength behind our abilities to ensure we are truly preparing the global leaders of tomorrow to excel in their profession and their service to society.

As we strive to remain a leader in global education, we thank you for your leadership and support in ensuring the resources and relationships are there for our students, faculty, programs and facilities. We are honored to collaborate with you on the future.

With gratitude,

Michael H. Droge, Ph.D. President, Park University

The Tipping Point: Private philanthropy expands Park's military legacy Two pioneering donors and a national grant culminate in Park's new Department of Military and Veteran Student Services Donors. Grants. Gifts. Together, they have the power to do much more than cover costs. With vision and unwavering commitment, private philanthropy for Park has led to a tipping point to permanently expand the University's legacy of leadership in serving those who courageously serve our country.

It began with a big idea — and big generosity — nearly four years ago. Two pioneering donors, R. Crosby Kemper and Thomas Holcom, embraced Park's desire to better serve the growing ranks of wounded military members. Together they provided $175,000 in start-up funding to create the Park Warrior Center, which is dedicated to serving the educational needs of transitioning wounded service members.

In spring 2009, Park was awarded a $100,000 Success for Veterans Award Grant from the American Council on Education and the Walmart Foundation. Park was one of 20 higher learning institutions in the country — and the only one in the Midwest — to receive this competitive grant to create a curriculum to meet the unique educational needs of transitioning veterans.

Celebrating collaboration

Beyond the grant

“Today is an important day in Park's history as we dedicate this space as a physical manifestation of our emotional and practical commitment to our military and veteran students,” said Jerry Jorgensen, Ph.D., Park University provost and vice president for academic affairs. “As a retired Army colonel myself, one of the many things that attracted me to Park is the high priority it places on serving those who defend our country.”

When he joined Park less than 18 months ago to manage the Success for Veterans two-year grant program and Park Warrior Center, Terry was impressed by how much everyone at Park cared about serving military students.

“They encouraged me to explore how Park could do even more to meet their needs.”

Today, the generosity of individuals, corporations and private foundations has culminated in the development of Park University's new Department of Military and Veteran Student Services. On Oct. 7, Park celebrated the grand opening of the new physical space for the department and the home of the Park Warrior Center.

The new initiatives to serve Park's military students benefitted from the inspired leadership of Stephen Terry, director of military and veteran student services.

During the dedication ceremony, Park honored the transformative philanthropy of two individuals and their companies that helped make it all possible. “Tom Holcom, CEO of Pioneer Services, and R. Crosby Kemper, chair emeritus of UMB Bank, boldly supported our efforts with their spirit, ideas and financial support to make the Park Warrior Center a reality,” said Gary Wages, Park's Board of Trustees chair.

Terry met with veteran and education advisers at Park's campus centers on military installations across the country, providing service, training and research.

At first, Terry proposed an “office” of veteran Stephen Terry, Park's director of military and veteran student services.

On a windy Oct. 7, Park University celebrated the grand opening of its new Office for Military and Veteran Student Services, home of the Park Warrior Center, located on the first floor of Thompson Commons on the Parkville Campus.

Crosby Kemper, chairman emeritus of UMB Bank; Tom Holcom, CEO of Pioneer Services and member of Park's Board of Trustees; Denise Holcom; Stephen Terry, director of Park's military and veteran student services department; retired Lt. Gen. Robert Arter; and Lois Arter.

The power of education — and inspiring the confidence to “go for it” — drives Terry and his staff of military veterans who assist fellow military students every day.

“I spent years in active duty and in the reserves, and had no idea what was available to me — or even possible for me,” Terry said. “Every day, I get to help veterans just like me. When I talk with them, I see me sitting in the chair with all the same questions.

Many of them doubt that they are 'college material' — and so did I. So I can relate to their questions and concerns. I have the best job in the world.”

services. “Then I met with Dr. Jorgensen, as well as (Park University president) Dr. Michael Droge and (Vice President for University Advancement) Laurie McCormack. They challenged me to think bigger, more broadly,” Terry said. "Ultimately, I developed a proposal for a department to serve both active and veteran students, able and wounded, which was a much bigger idea."

Collectively, their big thinking paid off. The Park Board of Trustees approved Terry's proposal on Aug. 1 and Park University's Department of Military and Veteran Student Services became a reality.

In their boots

“Making the transition from the military to college can be a stressful time for veterans,” said Terry, a combat veteran and former staff sergeant in the U.S. Army. “Veterans need to know someone understands and cares about them. At Park, they know that we've been in their same boots.”

Since 2003, the wounded warrior population has grown, with many soldiers returning home with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. “We consider these just as important and real as all other physical disabilities,” Terry said. “We call them 'wounds above the shoulders.'”

Terry said the new department is focused on providing the utmost in personal assistance to service members and veterans. “In addition to our educational programs, we help write application letters, call admissions counselors or obtain records for them, whether they're in our offices, on one of Park's campus centers or deployed in Afghanistan,” he said. “We make it a priority to respond personally to all inquiries within 24 hours and continually follow up — whatever they need to ensure their success.”

Park University serves the educational needs of the military through 40 campus centers in 21 states, 35 of which are on military installations. Each year, more than half of Park's 22,000-plus students are either military service or family members, making Park the sixth largest provider of college credit to the military in the nation.

Park's Department of Military and Veteran Student Services The Department of Military and Veteran Student Services provides resources for active duty service members and veterans who are transitioning from the military to pursue civilian education and career goals. The department offers individualized support to assist with education, employment, finances, relationships, post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.

Wounded warriors have different needs than typical students due to combat stress and other disabilities. The Park Warrior Center, a component of the Department of Military and Veteran Student Services, gives wounded warriors a jump-start on their educational goals. Wounded warriors participate in the program as a team and are also paired with a veteran mentor for individual advising. Approved spouses, dependents or friends are encouraged to enroll in the same courses at no charge as a “learning buddy” to offer additional support and encouragement. Credits earned can be transferred toward a Park University or other higher education institution's degree program.

In 2009, the University received a $100,000 Success for Veterans Award Grant from the American Council on Education and the Walmart Foundation. Park was one of just 20 higher learning institutions in the country, and the only one in the Midwest, awarded the grant, which recognized model programs advancing access and success in higher education for veterans and their families. The program, which provides a smooth transition to college for veteran students, developed five courses delivered online or face-to-face to accommodate service members at home and abroad.

My Brother's Keeper Retired Lt. Gen. Robert Arter and his wife, Lois, donated a limited edition framed print, titled “My Brother's Keeper,” by artist Marc Wolfe. The print is prominently displayed in the new Office for Military and Veteran Student Services.

Arter's distinguished career began in 1950 when he was commissioned from Ohio State University as a second lieutenant. Through his nearly 60-year career, he held command and staff positions culminating with his role as commanding general, Sixth United States Army. He is currently the chair of the board of trustees of the Command and General Staff College Foundation at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.

From PTSD to Park

Park Warrior Center provides path to brighter future After returning from Iraq, U.S. Army Spc. Patrick Clark spent months “lost in the sauce.”

He entered the military soon after high school graduation in 2002 to help pay for college. “I knew there was a risk of being deployed after 9/11, but I took the chance.”

In January 2004, Clark was on his way to Iraq.

“What I was told it would be and what it turned out to be was quite different,” he said. Clark spent more than a year driving through small villages, ostensibly as ground security for civil affairs. His job was to study the grounds for the slightest hint of a stray wire, a freshly covered pothole or suspicious roadkill.

“From dawn to dusk, we swept the streets looking for telltale signs of IEDs (improvised explosive devices),” Clark said. “In Iraq, there wasn't a lot of traditional combat. We didn't know who we were fighting. There were no uniforms. Anyone could be your enemy.”

Facing down sudden explosions On April 15, 2004, Clark experienced his first IED.

“It was two artillery rounds taped together on the road that was detonated by a cell phone. We missed the explosion by about 15 feet doing 50 miles per hour down the road in an unarmored Humvee,” Clark said.

“It was a game-changer for me in the military and in my life.”

U.S. Army Spc. Patrick Clark was deployed to Iraq in 2004. Today, Clark is a sophomore at Park University and works part-time in the Office for Military and Veteran Student Services with the Park Warrior Center programs to help other veterans make the transition from the military to pursuing their education.

Park Warrior Center staff member Patrick Clark, left, speaks with Stephen Terry, director of Park's military and veteran student services department, inside the Park Warrior Center.

He would witness more than a dozen more IED explosions before leaving Iraq. “Luckily, we didn't lose a single guy in my battalion,” he said.

It wasn't until Clark returned to civilian life in 2006 that he began to feel the impact of facing down the daily fear of sudden explosions. “At first, I didn't know what was happening to me. I couldn't go into restaurants because they were too loud. Little children playing scared me, even my own nieces.”

Clark suffered constant nightmares, anxiety and angry outbursts that led to job and social instability.

He didn't know his problem had a name until he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. “I could function in the world, but I wasn't really there. I called it being 'lost in the sauce,'” he said.

Instead of college, Clark decided to get a job after the military. “I knew about the GI Bill, but I was afraid to go to school. I wasn't the best student in high school, and it had been a long time since I'd been

in a classroom.” Frustrated with his career progress without an education, Clark tested the waters at a community college but struggled with a school that didn't understand his military background or his challenges with PTSD.

Serving those who served

Before giving up, he decided to take a look at Park.

“I clicked the 'military' link on the homepage of the Park website and within an hour I got a call from Stephen Terry (director of military and veteran student services). I admitted that I had a bad case of PTSD, but Stephen was encouraging. He immediately e-mailed me everything I needed to transfer,” Clark said. “I wasn't fully aware of the Park Warrior Center then, but I remember being glad to see on Stephen's e-mail signature that he was former military.”

Clark said he had never experienced this kind of support. “Veterans have different concerns, situations

and paperwork. It's not easy to find a place like the Park Warrior Center where people 'get it.'”

Today, Clark is a sophomore at Park majoring in criminal justice. He also works part-time in the Office for Military and Veteran Student Services with the Park Warrior Center programs to help with social media outreach and assisting other service members. “I enjoy helping other veterans just as Park did for me.”

Clark said every university should have something like the Park Warrior Center to guide those who are struggling with injury, through the transition between the two worlds of the military and education. “Military members are trained to be soldiers and serve their country. We don't want special treatment,” Clark said. “In fact, that's why when we answer the phones to talk with veterans, we don't ask 'How can we help you?' but rather we ask 'How can we serve you?'”

Making Memories: Park students give back and learn in partnership with Crossroads Hospice

A partnership between Park University and Crossroads Hospice is changing the way students learn in the classroom about death and dying, while offering hospice patients a chance to tell their stories to friends and families.

Funded by a $10,000 grant from the Crossroads Hospice Charitable Foundation, the partnership pairs Park students from a wide variety of disciplines — including psychology, social work, philosophy and nursing — with Crossroads patients to document the patients' life stories in memory books.

Park nursing student Tina Hill, right, speaks with a Crossroads Hospice patient about her memory book.

Memory books

As part of the partnership with Crossroads Hospice, Park University students meet with hospice patients to talk about their lives, their families, interests and hobbies, and put together memory scrapbooks that the patients' families can keep to remember their loved one.

A portion of the grant is also being used to help Park faculty increase their knowledge about hospice, death and dying, and offering them resources and professional development to help in curriculum development.

Humanizes patients

For Crossroads' licensed practical nurse Colleen McDermott and Park students who are participating this semester, the project is a chance for them to

learn about hospice care, but also take a step away from the clinical side of their training.

“I learned to slow down; to really appreciate the simple things,” said McDermott, who has been working full time at Crossroads since graduating from Park with an associate degree in nursing in May 2010. “We get so busy (as nurses) that we sometimes forget that there's a person there — someone who lived a life.”

That's one of the benefits seen by Molly Shalz, Crossroads volunteer coordinator, too. “It really humanizes the patient,” she said. “They aren't a chart; they're not a number. They have lived a life and still have life.”

Both sides benefit

Even at just a year old for the partnership, both the University and Crossroads are reaping great benefits, agreed Jane Wood, dean of Park's College

of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Jeannie Thomas, Crossroads director of admissions and marketing, and a 1999 Park graduate.

“There are so many misconceptions about hospice,” Thomas said. “This enables us to normalize the conversation. It's not such a scary thing. It's really about life. And Crossroads gets community involvement and energy from the students.”

As for Park, obviously, Wood said, the education of the students is the number one goal, but the faculty is also benefitting from the partnership.

“They are helping students put academic theory into practice,” she said. “And faculty will be able to publish on this as well.”

The partnership works because Park and Crossroads have similar goals, Wood said, in wanting students to have more clinical experiences with hospice.

Students tell the patients' story in whatever way seems most appropriate to the individual. “We had one patient who couldn't remember a lot, but did remember her recipes and had her recipe cards,” Shalz said. “The student took those and really ran with it, and it became a great recipe book. The students get really creative.”

“We encourage the students to have the process be more organic than just interviewing the patients,” she added. “We want them to strike up a conversation, to create a relationship with the patient. The patient is giving a gift to the family, leaving a legacy with photos and the most important things in their lives.”

Putting knowledge to work

For students, the bottom line has been the opportunity to step outside of the classroom and put their knowledge to work.

Last year, 10 students chose to work at Crossroads. During this Fall 2011 semester, 20 students are involved.

legacy of the book is something that will be great for the family to cherish. I think they will absolutely draw comfort from it.”

Tina Hill, a Park nursing student who will graduate in May 2012, has been working this semester on a memory book. She's met with her patient a number of times, talking about the woman's life and putting together pictures and words that tell her story. The process helps her patient cope with her dementia and end-of-life issues.

Shalz sees unlimited potential for the program.

Right now, Shalz is working on the project as a part of her overall duties, but she foresees a time when the training and coordination will require someone's full-time attention.

“I think in talking with her that I am able to sometimes redirect her out of a negative state and give her a good experience,” Hill said. “The

“It has endless growth potential,” she said. “We want to do more.”

Scholarships Park CIO endows scholarships to honor brother and benefactor David Monchusie, '00, grew up in a single-parent home in South Africa.

His hard work and determination enabled him to get a college degree, immigrate to the United States and become Park's chief information officer.

Now, by establishing two scholarships at Park, he's hoping to pay forward the opportunities he has had.

Currently, the scholarships are being financed through Monchusie's annual contributions to the two funds. At the same time, he is making contributions toward a life insurance policy that will ensure the scholarships continue to benefit Park students, even after his death.

David Monchusie holds photos of his friend, Carol Saunders Patterson, and his brother, Norman Lucas Monchusie.

Scholarships Monchusie scholarships (continued)

Honoring one who helped

The Carol Saunders Patterson Scholarship is a way to honor one of the people who helped him and his family along the way.

Upon his arrival in Kansas City, Monchusie met Patterson through his church, St. Andrew's Episcopal. She became a close friend and benefactor for his family before her death from cancer. “She took us into her heart,” Monchusie said.

“Her giving inspired me.”

That scholarship will be awarded annually to an American student who comes from a single-parent home and has demonstrable need as Monchusie did. “I want to honor her and give back,” he said.

Scholarship recognizes sacrifice

The second scholarship is named for Monchusie's late, older brother, Norman Lucas Monchusie. His brother sacrificed his own academic opportunities to help his mother raise David and his other five siblings, before he was killed in a car accident.

The money will be awarded to a student from Haiti, South Africa or other African country, again from a single-parent home with demonstrable need.

Carol Saunders Patterson

“My single mom raised seven children,” he said. “I want to help someone (with both scholarships) who wants to progress in life, but has a need.”

Norman Lucas Monchusie

Monchusie is the first person in his family to graduate from college. That, combined with the gifts he's received through his relationship with his church and Park, has really defined the American experience for him.

“This is a nation of giving,” he said. “I want to be a part of it.”

Music students offered new scholarship The new Julia and Ferris Boutross Scholarship will benefit worthy music students at Park University. The scholarship is made possible by a $50,000 gift from their nephew, James M. Malouff III.

Ernest and Mary Esch

Park alumnus and wife give $73,500 for awards Thanks to Ernest R. Esch, '30, and his wife, Mary Reid Esch, Park University has two new scholarships.

A $73,500 gift from the estate of Mary Reid Esch established the scholarships, which are endowed by money from Ernest Esch's estate as well. For many years, he intended that a certain percentage of his estate be designated for student scholarships at Park.

The two scholarships are to be awarded to students who maintain a 3.0 grade point average and have a financial need. “I'm glad my family could do this for the institution Ernest and Mary so loved,� said Sydney Reid-Hedge, the couple's daughter.

Ernest Esch graduated from Park in 1930.

He served in the U.S. Marine Corps in World

Estates establish scholarships War II. He earned a master's degree from New York University before becoming educational director for First City National Bank of New York City. He later worked at banks in Kansas City and McGregor, Texas.

He served as president of the Park Alumni Association and then as a member of the Board of Trustees from 1948 to 1956. He was a recipient of Park's Distinguished Alumnus Award in 1966. He died in 1996 at the age of 87.

Although she wasn't a Park graduate, Mary fell in love with Ernest and, soon after they were married, she fell in love with Park.

During her career, she served as executive assistant to the Commanding Generals, Army Air Force, in Denver, and established the Office of the Department of Interior, U. S. Geological Survey in Dallas.

Malouff is a fan of Park's International Center for Music.

His intent in creating this endowment is to honor a maternal aunt and uncle who placed a high value on education and who were self-educated in a number of areas, including music, art, literature, history and business.

Currently the president of Malouff Companies, a commercial real estate service and non-real estate consulting firm based in Kansas City, Mo., Malouff is heavily involved in civic endeavors and has chaired or been a board member of several organizations with local and international activities.

The scholarship's namesakes were Kansas City natives and were actively involved in the community: Julia Boutross remained single throughout her life. Her father's death in 1943 curtailed her education as she assumed responsibility for supporting her family. She was active in the community and served as a docent at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Mo., was a member of the Fireside Committee of the Kansas City Art Institute and the New Theatre Guild Foundation. She was learned in classical music and was an avid bridge player.

Her brother, Ferris T. Boutross, was a restaurateur, running Boots and Coates, a south Kansas City icon, until his retirement. While he didn't attend college, he valued education and developed an appreciation for classical and opera music, history and other subjects. He also valued those who aspired to succeed in business, worked hard and applied themselves.

Recipients of this award are to demonstrate a need and be seeking a degree in classical music at Park.

Scholarships Good times at Jolly Roger lead to scholarship In setting up the scholarship, the Fowlers wanted to honor students with a strong desire for furthering their education, but who might not be able to afford Park without the assistance.

“We want it to go to somebody like Jack, who had a great desire, but couldn't come otherwise,” Barbara said.

Jack, '54, and Barbara Hays Fowler, '55, met at Park University by chance. But their $100,000 gift for a scholarship to the University is very deliberate and based on the couple's longstanding love for Park and the student center where they spent much of their time while students.

Jack and Barbara met as Barbara drove onto the campus to begin her freshman year. Jack was part of the welcoming committee and helped direct Barbara and her parents to her dormitory.

Later, when freshmen were required to ask upperclassmen to attend a dance, Barbara extended an invitation to Jack and their relationship began.

Throughout their time at Park, many of their dates involved meeting each other and friends at the on-campus café/bowling alley, the Jolly Roger, housed in the lower level of the gymnasium (then known as Labor Hall, now the Intramural Field House and Fitness Center), so they chose to honor that memory by naming the scholarship for the hangout.

Jack came to Park after hearing about the University as he was in search of construction work in Iowa. While working on a bridge project, he rented a room from a couple whose son attended Park. They told him about the workstudy program, which was the perfect opportunity for him to continue his education.

Jack credits Park for teaching him skills that helped him build a successful real estate business in Boulder, Colo., after graduation. “I think the things I learned at Park — solving problems, coming up with options and then doing it — have carried me through,” he said. “My education meant a lot to me.”

Today, the Fowlers live in Boulder, where they raised their four children. And even though the Jolly Roger is long gone from the Parkville Campus, they regularly visit Park for alumni events.

“We have great memories and such good feelings about Park,” Barbara said.

The Jolly Roger was created in 1946 and was the first student recreation area on the Parkville campus.

Taiwan to Park: Long ties lead to scholarship Park University and the Republic of China (Taiwan) have a long and special relationship, dating back to 1938 when Hollington Tong received the first honorary degree conferred by Park to a Taiwanese citizen.

Now the relationship is taking another leap forward thanks to Park President Michael Droge, Ph.D., and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Kansas City. The $30,000 gift to the University establishes a scholarship for a deserving student from Taiwan. The student will be expected to pursue a degree that studies the relationship between Taiwan and the United States, said Lawrence Tseng, director of TECO-KC.

Historical leaders part of Park The relationship between Park and Taiwan is an interesting one, Droge said. After Tong received his honorary degree, another was conferred in 1954 to Ting-Fu Tsiang and one in 1994 to Lyshyn Shen.

Ming Chuan University, with which Park has a student-faculty exchange program.

Scholarship honors family with nine Park graduates

Goal to further connection

Continuing a family tradition, Lorene Metheny Knight, '39, and Ethel Metheny Bricker, '44 remembered Park University in their estate plans.

The goal with the scholarship, from Park's point of view, is to “strengthen the connection with Taiwan. We want more students to be able to come and study here,” Droge said.

Droge also is looking for more ways that Park and Taiwan can work together. There are conversations ongoing about teaming up with the Taipei Medical University and providing training for junior diplomats.

“This all makes sense for the legacy of our relationship,” Droge said. “It's amazing to think of the long connection — even before there was a Taiwan. We are a big part of its history.”

Both Tong and Tsiang attended Park in the early 1900s. They both were ambassadors to the United States from Taiwan, and Shen was a vice minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Taiwan.

As a result, the sisters, who passed away in 2009 and 2010, respectively, bequeathed more than $180,000 to continue scholarships previously established in honor of their father, Harrison L. Metheny, '14, and their brother, David Metheny, '50.

The Metheny family and Park are incredibly intertwined.

In addition to the sisters, their brother and father, other Metheny family members who graduated from Park include another sister, Mary Putman, '41, Lorene's son, Ronald, '65, and each of Harrison's three wives, Anna Meyer Metheny, '16 (mother of Lorene, Ethel and Mary), Edna Artz Metheny, '14 (mother of David), and Gertrude Baker Metheny, '14 (whom he married following their 50th class reunion).

Harrison served Park as president of the Alumni Association and was honored in 1961 for his service to the University as a Distinguished Alumnus. Edna Artz Metheny was selected “Outstanding Park Mother” in 1963.

“Park started enrolling international students in the 1800s,” Droge said. “When they returned home, they were key players in the formation of Taiwan. Chiang Kai-shek's eldest grandson is an alumnus.”

Droge's interest in Taiwan comes from all of Park's history and his visit a few years ago to

The Harrison Metheny Endowed Scholarship was originally funded in 1999. It is awarded annually to a full-time junior or senior Park student who carries a grade point average of at least 2.75.

The student must be involved in Park activities, have a financial need and recommendations from two professors.

In its second year, Park University's Summer Business Academy gave high school students a look into the world of business and life on a college campus.

This year's Academy took place at the University's Parkville Campus in June.

Modeled after the Park School of Business' popular Introduction to Business course, the Academy is a combination of classroom sessions, field trips, mentoring and team building.

The program is open to 20 high school students preparing for their sophomore or junior year. The students are primarily at-risk and future first-generation college students. Each of this year's participants received scholarships to attend the Summer Business Academy thanks to the generous support of its sponsors.

Students visited the WireCo WorldGroup manufacturing facility in Sedalia, Mo., the Harley-Davidson motorcycle plant in Kansas City, Mo., and attended a business formal “etiquette dinner” at The National Golf Club of Kansas City.

Envisioning a brighter future Dominic Lopez, vice president and financial consultant at Charles Schwab in Kansas City, Mo., hosted the students at his offices.

“I think the most important thing about the Academy is reaching out to the kids and showing them that their future can be more than what their current situation might say it can be,” said Lopez, who also sits on the Park School of Business Advisory Board.

For Lopez, working with students at the Academy was a way to give back and thank those who helped him as he built his career. “I didn't just walk into this,” he said. “I had to work to succeed.”

He hopes his efforts and the Academy program show students that they can go to college and build successful business careers. “It just takes one person to tell you that you can do it,” Lopez said.

Founders Day 2011: Focusing on the arts at Park

The arts and the introduction of the first Presidential Honors Scholarship recipient took center stage at Park University's annual Founders Day celebration on May 18 at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Mo. For nine years, Founders Day has been raising funds to establish the Presidential Honors Scholarship, which provides full tuition, room and board for academically talented students.

Park was proud to present its inaugural Presidential Honors Scholarship to Miki Katuwal. Originally from Nepal, Katuwal is a senior majoring in biology and physical geography, and a student in Park's Degree with Honors program.

"Miki has significantly contributed to Park through her many leadership and service activities,” said Virginia Brackett, Ph.D., associate professor and chair of Park's Department of English and Modern Languages, and director of the Degree with Honors program, who presented the award to Katuwal.

Katuwal's academic accomplishments include completion of a summer research internship at the University of Pittsburgh and a summer research program in molecular biology at Princeton University.

“Most of you in the room tonight have supported our Founders Day consistently for many years,” Park President Michael Droge, Ph.D., told the crowd. “Each year your support has been put toward growing a fund that will offer the premiere scholarship opportunity available at Park University.”

When fully funded, the scholarship will annually cover tuition for 20 academically talented students, many of whom do not have the financial means to achieve their educational goals without it.

The evening celebration featured not only the Kemper Museum's premiere collection of art, but also showcased the visual, poetic and theatrical talents of Park students. Event centerpieces were unique frames created by Park visual arts students, with student-written poetry placed inside. Capping off the evening was a performance of a scene from “Big Maggie,” by Park's theatre program, which had also performed it at the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival.

Laurie McCormack, vice president for university advancement, said the University is grateful to the many annual supporters of Park and the Presidential Honors Scholarship.

“Founders Day began more than a century ago as a celebration by students to honor Park's founders, so it is appropriate that this important event has raised money to support outstanding students in their quest for education,” she said.

Park University faculty and staff are an integral part of the University's fundraising efforts. Many sources for grants and funding look to internal giving rates to determine whether or not to donate money to an organization. These gifts are put to use immediately and have a long-term funding impact on the University through scholarships and other programs. These individuals truly exemplify the University's motto, Fides et Labor.

New windows, new horizons Park University is celebrating the success of its “Windows of Opportunity” campaign, the funds of which were used to replace the windows in the historic Norrington Center, which houses the Office of Admissions and the Student Assistance Center, along with faculty offices.

The effort began in March 2009 to replace the windows and frames in the 103-year-old building — formerly known as the Carnegie Library — with custommade thermal windows. A committee of Park staff and faculty members solicited donations from alumni, faculty, staff, trustees, administrators, students, friends, foundations and a variety of corporations who responded generously.

Thanks to more than 340 donors and the matching support of an anonymous business partner, the goal was reached and the windows were installed. The Marvin Windows, close reproductions of the originals, were constructed by Kansas City Millwork and installed by Midwest Construction Service of Riverside, Mo. “This fundraising effort was so important, not only because it provided the funds for a very critical capital project, but also because it allowed our Park family and friends to work together to bring about an exciting success,” said Timothy Westcott, Ph.D., associate professor of history and chair of Park's Department of History and Political Science, who served as the campaign chair.
