Idaho Outlook
s we go to press, the campus is reawakening from its summer lull to the sounds of students returning for another year full of classes, tests, lab experiments, field trips, social gatherings, sporting events and all the other things that make for such life-changing and memorable times. In keeping with the theme of memorable times, you will find articles in this issue of Idaho Outlook that highlight numerous donors and the ways they have remembered and supported their alma mater. We are once again featuring gifts made via the IRA Rollover provision of the federal law passed last year. Not least among these donors are Bob and Jan Cowan, who took full advantage of this special law due to expire December 31. But you’ll also find articles about a couple of student-athletes who have benefited by the generosity of our private donors, a memorial tribute to a very special friend of the University of Idaho, a final review of how the IRA Rollover may be of benefit to you or someone you know, and finally our regular feature, “Ways to Give Through Your Estate Plan.” If any of these articles pique your interest or raise questions, let us know. We welcome your feedback. Sincerely, Gift Planning Services
