Message from the Dean

Welcome to the 2014 Enterprise. In the following pages, we share with you our pride in the success and accomplishments of our students, faculty and alumni, and we express gratitude for the many ways our alumni and friends contribute to support our faculty, students and college.

As you know, we continually seek opportunities to enhance our students’ experience in the College of Business and Economics. After 19 years of delivering an award-winning curriculum, we believed that it was time to reinvent the Integrated Business Curriculum, or IBC, as we fondly call it. Over the years, we have heard from our students and other stakeholders about aspects of the IBC that they valued – such as the team-building skills and cross-functional perspective – and the areas on which we could improve. And we listened. CBE faculty incorporated this feedback and redesigned the IBC from a junior-year curriculum into a four-year program (p. 15).

Our students’ experience will also be improved with the newly renovated U.S. Bank Trading Floor on the second floor of the J.A. Albertson Building (p. 9). The official unveiling is scheduled for spring 2015. We thank Rotchy and Brett Barker for their generosity and Rick Murray for his leadership in obtaining U.S. Bank funding for the trading room expansion. The expansion was also made possible by Central Harvest States (CHS) Foundation and CoBank. Their financial support strengthens the partnership between CBE and College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) and promotes faculty interaction and CALS students’ participation in the Barker Capital Management and Trading Program.

I am sure you will also enjoy reading about the recent field trip to New York City, where students visited Guggenheim Partners, Bank of America, Rothschild, and the New York Stock Exchange for the closing bell. As evidenced by the photos (p. 10), it was a great experience for students, faculty and alumni alike.

Of course, these types of student trips wouldn’t be possible without the support of our alumni, who open up their workplaces and share their insights with our students. As business leaders, many of our alumni offer important connections and guidance not only for our students, but also for our college as members of the CBE Advisory Board (p. 18). Their loyalty and commitment to our college and our students is inspiring.

I am also excited to introduce you to our new assistant professors and staff members. We are pleased that Dan Hickman, Stefanie Ramirez, Erick Larson and Patty Carscallen have joined our college. I know as you learn more about them in the following pages, you will share in my enthusiasm for these new members of our stellar team.

We welcome these new faces to the CBE; we are, however, saddened by the loss of some very important people in our community, including longtime supporters of the college (p. 36) and our own Dean Emeritus Jack Morris, who passed away unexpectedly last August. Jack was my co-author, mentor, IBC collaborator, teacher, friend, boss and coach. He is missed by many.

Once again, thank you for your continued support and engagement of the CBE. Sincerely,

Mario Reyes Dean College of Business and Economics

InsideCBE Teaching Excellence Terry Grieb, professor of finance and program director of the Barker Capital Management and Trading program, has been recognized for his outstanding contributions in student learning with the 2014 University of Idaho Teaching Excellence Award. He was presented the award during a ceremony in the Student Union Ballroom on April 29.

New Faces Join CBE Staff Erick Larson has joined the CBE

as the assistant dean of recruitment, retention and assessment. Hired to recruit new students to the college, Larson, inspired by his own mentors, particularly loves his role of encouraging students to complete college.

“I grew up in Wallace, where few youths went to college,” said Larson, who briefly attended college before joining the U.S. Air Force. He said he didn’t think he was smart enough to finish college. That changed when his Air Force chief master sergeant was so impressed with Larson’s military test scores that he insisted Larson sign up for one more college class.

Jeanne Stevenson, vice provost of academic affairs, presents Terry Grieb the Teaching Excellence Award.

Grieb has earned praise from students and faculty alike for his teaching. “He motivates students through his enthusiasm and encourages students to push themselves. Plus, he lets students play with an awful lot of money,” wrote one student in his nomination.

Outstanding Team Award The CBE Outreach and Engagement Team was honored with the University of Idaho Staff Affairs 2014 Outstanding Team Award.

Recipients include Chandra Zenner Ford, assistant dean, external relations; Toni Broyles, director of development and external relations; Denise Chaffins, alumni and donor relations coordinator; Amber Crowley, web coordinator; Keri Moore, assistant to the dean; and Michelle Carda Hopkins, external relations assistant, Boise.

Larson sailed through his bachelor’s degree and later earned his master’s degree at the University of Idaho. His first student recruiting job was with the UI College of Law. He also directed recruiting for the UI College of Graduate Studies for a total of 11 years of experience in student recruitment.

Now he aims to be “as good a mentor to our students as I’ve had.”

He is especially grateful to work in a college where “everyone helps students – the dean, the faculty, all of us try to get students the support they need to solve any problems.”

Patty Carscallen has also joined the

IN Memoriam | John (Jack) Stephen Morris

Remembering a leader, teacher, friend Former College of Business and Economics (CBE) dean and professor emeritus, John (Jack) Stephen Morris, passed away unexpectedly of a massive heart attack on Aug. 16, 2014, at his Circle C Ranch near New Meadows, Idaho. He was 66.

Jack held many positions in his 40 years of service to the University of Idaho. He came to the university in 1973 as a business and economic development planner through the Center for Native American Development. In 1980, he joined the CBE faculty as instructor of finance. He earned his Ph.D. and moved through the ranks of professorship. He received many accolades and university awards for outstanding teaching, leadership, research and outreach.

Jack served as college dean from 2006 until his retirement in 2011. His accomplishments as dean included leading the college through accreditation in 2009, when the college received national recognition for best practices in four areas of business education.

Jack touched many lives as an educator and leader. Upon learning about Jack’s untimely departure, a former student sending his condolences commented: “What a wonderful educator! The invaluable life lessons learned under his study have helped lead

me through my career and eventual ownership in our family construction business of 50 employees. Of all the teachers and professors I encountered throughout my education, Jack Morris will always be my favorite.”

“I want to be remembered as Professor Morris, not as Dean Morris, because being a professor is one of the most noble professions there is.”

–Jack Morris, upon retirement in 2011 After retirement in 2011, Jack and Linda, his wife of 41 years, moved to New Meadows, Idaho. Jack enjoyed the outdoors: hiking, fishing, chukar hunting, snow skiing, white-water rafting and scuba diving.

Jeffrey Harkins, professor emeritus of accounting, passed away Nov. 26, 2013, at the age of 67. He worked as a member of the accounting faculty at both the University of Idaho and Washington State University. He served as accounting department chair for the College of Business and Economics, retiring emeritus in 2010. enterprise | 5

New Professors Arrive Sporting Awards, Research Strengths

By Mary Ann Reese

The College of Business and Economics not only welcomed 220 new freshmen this fall, but it also added two newly minted faculty members.

“These are really outstanding additions to our faculty,” said an enthused Dean Mario Reyes. “They had options to go elsewhere, but they chose to come here. I’m very excited about all of them.”

Meet CBE’s new assistant professors – Dan Hickman and Stefanie R. Ramirez.

Dan Hickman Happy to be back in the West “I was ecstatic to accept the job at the University of Idaho because I was looking to move to a top-notch university, and my wife and I have wanted to return to the West from the moment we moved to Illinois four years ago,” said Hickman, who completed his doctoral studies in economics at the University of Colorado in Boulder in 2010.

Hickman comes to the UI after serving four years as an assistant professor of economics at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Ill., where he won a 2012 award for achievement and contribution in teaching.

His research interests include economics of labor, sports, higher education and regional economic development, including the migration of workers within the U.S. His work has been published in such journals as Industrial and Labor Relations Review and Regional Science and Urban Economics.

Hickman teaches courses in labor economics, microeconomics and econometrics.

Stefanie Ramirez Tackling payday lending Stefanie Ramirez earned her doctorate in economics this spring at Tucson’s University of Arizona, where she also earned fellowships and awards for teaching excellence in 2010, 2012 and twice in 2013. She currently teaches ECON 202 Principles of Microeconomics and ECON 352 Intermediate Microeconomics.

From 2007 to 2009, working as a research assistant at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, Ramirez researched policy recommendations needed after the 2008 U.S. housing and financial crisis. And at Duke University during her undergraduate career, she examined changes in Chinese market structure after the launch of free-market practices.

Both projects led to her latest research on regulation and the payday lending industry. “The type of borrower now is not who you would think,” she said. “In 2010, borrowers were from higher income levels.” Her research interests include industrial organization, regulation and economics, applied microeconomics, experimental economics and behavioral economics.

Revamped Trading Floor Open for Business Official grand opening celebration is March 9, 2015.

After months of construction, the Barker Capital Management and Trading Program’s new and improved trading room – the U.S. Bank Trading Floor – is now open for business.

Located on the second floor of the J.A. Albertson Building, the trading room has doubled in size and has undergone numerous technology and equipment upgrades that will enhance learning opportunities for students across the university.

“This new lab gives us the space and resources to leverage collaborations across colleges and to take the Barker Program curriculum to the next level,” said Terry Grieb, director of the Barker Program.

For example, thanks in part to a $250,000 grant from the CHS Foundation, students in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) will now use the trading floor to learn firsthand about trading agricultural commodities and risk management in the agriculture industry.

In addition to the CHS Foundation, investors in the trading room renovation and Barker Capital Management and Trading Program include Rotchy and Brett Barker, U.S. Bank, Brad and Annette Elg, CoBank and numerous private funders.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then how many words would you trade for an actual visit to a United States financial hub – New York City, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Denver, San Diego?

You’d hobnob with alums who help run Fortune 500 companies or maybe launched small businesses of their own. You’d tour trading floors and stroll with executives through corporate offices, hearing their wisdom, how they got there, and answers to your questions.

“It’s worth so very much,” said senior Ann Chadderdon, Coeur d’Alene, veteran of five field trips during her four years studying finance at the University of Idaho’s College of Business and Economics (CBE) and Continued on page 12

CBEfeature “We visited the World Trade Center Memorial. I was amazed that in the middle of all these high-rise buildings there is a big fountain dedicated to victims of 9/11. We talked about how cool it is that the new building right next to the site is even bigger than the old one, showing resilience of the people here.” – Andrew Morgan chief investment officer of the college’s A.D. & J.E. Davis Student Investment Management Group.

“How else would I get into conversations with and bring home business cards of UI alums who have made it to the top?” asked Chadderdon. “On my own I couldn’t get insider tours of corporate heavyweights like Nike and Columbia in Portland or Rothschild and Guggenheim in New York City.”

specific programs. For example, just this year, the Davis Group traveled to Denver and New York City; students in the Barker Capital Management and Trading Program visited Portland; and the Graue Scholars ventured to Chicago.

Student groups also have opportunities to take excursions abroad. Past international destinations include the Philippines, Italy, Macedonia, China, Japan and Spain.

“Each student in the Davis Group follows a different financial sector. At the NYSE, we each got to spend time with market makers for each sector.” – Ann Chadderdon

Chadderdon is due to graduate in December and interviewing for a job with one of Idaho’s largest businesses. She added, “I couldn’t do all this on my own. Field trips are an amazing opportunity.”

The faculty-led field trips, which usually occur over two to three days, are often sponsored by student clubs or are available to students in

“These trips help students mature,” said Magdy Noguera, who teaches international finance and mentored the Davis group trip to Denver last March.

“As freshmen, many students are naïve and shy,” Noguera added. “These trips get them excited. They must prepare and ask questions, network, dress properly, be polite and make presentations about their college work. Four years later, they’re mature business students, well met, with clear ideas of what they can do on their own.”

Field trips also give students from small towns a comfortable way to step into bigcity life.

“We visited all four rooms of the NYSE. It’s easy to believe this is the world’s largest stock exchange.” – John Im

“My family did very little traveling during my childhood,” said Joseph Burchard ’09, a Graue Scholar and one of the CBE’s top academically achieving students whose tuition and part of an annual field trip are covered by a scholarship endowment. “Trips with various groups during college introduced me to a much larger world.” Burchard’s field trip to production facilities in Shanghai “quickly convinced me of the necessity of spending a semester abroad,” which he did, in Bangkok, Thailand.

According to a recent survey, approximately 85 percent of CBE students participate in some form of field trip or company visit.

“Increasingly we’re viewing experiential learning – where students get outside of textbooks and classrooms and into business realities – as giving our students an advantage in the career marketplace,” said CBE Dean Mario Reyes. “Learning journeys are an important part of that.”

IBC 2.0 Signature business curriculum reinvented to better serve students, employers University of Idaho business students no longer have to wait until their junior year to experience what has proven to be one of the most valuable aspects of an education from the College of Business and Economics (CBE).

Originally designed as a one-year program for juniors, the Integrated Business Curriculum (IBC) has been re-engineered into a four-year curriculum. The change allows CBE students to begin benefitting from the award-winning program from the first moments they step on campus.

“We’ve taught the original IBC since 1994. And just like businesses and organizations must reinvent themselves to better serve the needs of their consumers, so must we,” said Dean Mario Reyes.

Reyes said the curriculum changes are in direct response to feedback from students, recruiters and other stakeholders over the years.

“In the past, our students told us that they chose to study business, but they didn’t get to take business classes until their junior year.

Employers demand more leadership and other soft skills. We also heard from stakeholders the expectation of proficiency in the core business functions,” Reyes explained. “CBE faculty addressed that feedback in the reinvented IBC.” The redesigned IBC program builds on the success of the original curriculum, which was deemed a best practice by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in 2010.

“We didn’t want to get away from strengths of the award-winning curriculum,” he said. “We know very well that we’ve gained a good

reputation as a result of the IBC’s cross-functional and teambased approach to learning business. This approach will continue to be at the core of the new curriculum, except now the program will be spread over four years. It’s the logical next step in the evolution of the curriculum and the college.”

From day one of the IBC program, freshmen work across the college’s seven business majors to learn all facets of business, including finance, management, accounting, information technology, human resources, operations, economics and marketing. Cross-functional teams of students will study and learn the opportunities and challenges facing a case company, such as Micron. One potential advantage to the extended IBC program is that students will have the opportunity to delve into these company-sponsored projects over a period of four years, instead of one.

Another advantage to spreading the curriculum over four years is that it relieves some of the pressure on business students’ schedules during the junior year, which was previously dedicated entirely to the IBC. For example, students now have more flexibility to schedule in a study abroad experience. It also makes it easier for business students to dual major.

“The new programming is based on input from faculty, students and business leaders,” said Jeff Bailey, professor of business.

“While there are new elements, the new IBC format continues to emphasize teamwork, communication skills, cross-disciplinary learning and hands-on learning.”

Learning Business Across the Globe

Sydney (Hege) Kalebaugh spent a semester abroad to complete an internship at the Development Bank of the Philippines.

Editor’s note: This story is reprinted with permission from The Dalles Chronicle, which originally published the story May 2014. Due to a recent marriage, Sydney’s last name is now Kalebaugh.

Imagine finding yourself in a place entirely foreign: You don’t speak the language, you only just found out where you’ll be living and you’re expected to start a brand new job almost as soon as you arrive.

Sydney Hege said this was precisely the kind of “up in the air” situation she faced upon landing in Manila to begin her semester of on-the-job training at the Development Bank of the Philippines in January 2014.

“I didn’t officially even have a place to live until the day before I left, so I really didn’t know what to expect,” she said. “All I knew was that this was the kind of thing I had always wanted to try, but never had the opportunity to do before.”

16

| enterprise

An alumni of The Dalles High School and current junior at the University of Idaho, Hege said her economics and international studies coursework laid the foundations for her interest in taking on agricultural business development financing abroad, at least partly inspired by college-level classes she took in high school.

“I really wanted to do this for the opportunity to work in a completely real-world environment,” she said. “If I was going to be working hard, I wanted it to be on real life issues, not homework.”

And real life is exactly what she ended up finding.

“I live with a woman I work with at the bank, I work full-time, take public transport and, because I’ve been at the bank for a while now, I just had the opportunity to evaluate a $4 million project for commercialized development farming.”

While Hege said she hadn’t been overly familiar with Filipino culture at the start of her journey, she had come well prepared in terms of her educational background.

“All of my macro, micro and international development economics courses really prepared me for being here and for applying the things I’d learned in class to real life situations,” she said.

Hege said she was the first student at her university to pursue a semester of on-the-job training at the Development Bank of the Philippines, based on the University of Idaho College of Business and Economics dean’s connection to the bank’s chairman of the board.

Upon arriving in Manila, Hege said she “did a heavy study on the Philippine development plan,” which involved learning detailed information about the country’s economic situation, with an emphasis on sustainable agriculture and fisheries to cater to her position in the bank’s agribusiness department.

Hege said her job at the Development Bank requires her to travel around the Philippines and conduct technical project evaluations on-site, where she meets the client and writes up a report assessing the project’s overall funding potential.

After spending about two full days visiting the site, Hege said writing the report itself can take up to eight or nine days, taking into account the economic and environmental impacts of the proposed project, any necessary social safeguards and whether or not the project is even financially feasible for the bank.

“Typically, I’m the type of person that talks a lot, but for the first few weeks I was here, I definitely made sure I took a few steps back to observe and soak everything in letting myself take my own actions.”

On a typical day in Manila, “You can spend five hours on a bus in the middle of the night just to go two kilometers,” she said. “So I just sit there and think, ‘I could be upset about this, or I could just get over it and decide to be okay,’ so the experience has definitely made me more patient, and I swear I’ll never complain about transportation again.”

While away on client visits, Hege said she also tries to make time for engaging in volunteer work.

“I’m pretty much on my own the rest of the time,” she said, “so being able to interact with people outside of work really makes me feel like I’m having a much more tangible experience with the culture.”

Over the course of her stay, Hege said she’s participated in several outreach programs and helped conduct relief work in a handful of rural communities affected by typhoon Yolanda, or ones which have not necessarily seen as much aid as their more densely populated counterparts.

“Ultimately, my goal is to work in livelihood development in a developing country,” she said. “And a lot of the issue sometimes isn’t whether or not you have the money to change your business model, but how you can become empowered to build yourself out of poverty.”

As a result of her experience studying economics and working in Manila, Hege said, “I feel like I’m a much better decision-maker now; I understand how organizations work and how all the different variables like cause and effect come into play, and it’s just helped me understand so much more about the world…Basically, what I’ve learned is that it’s really important to pay attention to everything that’s going on around you, because chances are you’re going to need something that you started out thinking wasn’t very important.”

“It’s actually pretty amazing how my work here is so completely in line with what I’ve been learning back at home,” she said. “So many times you sit in class and wonder, ‘Gosh, when am I ever going to use this?’ Well, as it turns out, I’ve ended up using pretty much all of it all of the time.”

When asked how she was able to meet the challenges of living and working in a completely foreign environment, Hege said, “What it really comes down to is being incredibly flexible and having the patience to figure it all out on your own. There’s no handbook for you to reference; there’s just not. You’re just put in a situation where you’re expected to stand up and find your way through it.”

Some of the cultural challenges Hege said she has encountered include communication barriers and an incredibly inefficient transportation system.

“Effective communication is mostly about asking the right questions, but sometimes it’s hard to know what that is,” she said.

“In America, we’re fairly direct with one another, but it’s not the same here where you really have to watch how you act so you don’t accidentally end up offending anyone. It’s a very respectful, loving culture, but there’s also no script to go by.

During her semester in the Philippines, Sydney (Hege) Kalebaugh learned about the culture through on-the-job experiences and service opportunities.

CBE Dean’s Advisory Board

Advisory Board Supports CBE with Reality Checks, Inspiration

By Mary Ann Reese “Oh my, yes,” laughed Wayne Schneider when asked if the College of Business and Economics (CBE) had changed much since 1972, the year he graduated from the University of Idaho with a bachelor’s degree in accounting.

“The college has changed dramatically, 180 degrees,” he said. “It is much better today.”

Schneider points to improvements like the modern J.A. Albertson Building constructed in 2002; new opportunities for real-world learning, including the annual business plan competition and the Barker Capital Management and Trading Program; and the revolutionary Integrated Business Curriculum (IBC).

These are just some of the many changes that have been made possible thanks to the guidance of industry leaders like Schneider.

Schneider – a retired senior vice president of Wells Fargo and manager of Business Banking, Idaho Region – is the current chair of the CBE Dean’s Advisory Board. Created in the 1980s, the Dean’s Advisory Board is made up of approximately 30 nationwide business leaders – many of whom are alumni – who volunteer their time, expertise and resources to improve college learning programs, facilities and curriculum, and to ensure the college’s graduates are prepared to meet the needs of today’s employers.

Craig Olson ’74, managing director of The CAPROCK Group, has served on the college’s advisory board for 25 years.

“The board helps keep the academic world on top of trends we see in our business world,” Olson said. “We talk a lot about skills we’d like to see in graduates. Discussions that helped launch the IBC were huge. We asked ourselves: How do we get students to think and act like people in an actual business rather than just rehash textbook silos?”

Meg Carlson ’76, president and CEO, Prosperity Organic Foods, and a former Ore-Ida Foods executive, has served two terms as chair of the Dean’s Advisory Board since joining the board in 1992. She, too, is especially proud of the board’s role in the IBC, which emphasizes a cross-disciplinary, team-based approach for teaching and learning business.

“Management training programs are going away. Businesses don’t have the resources for that,” she explained. “Recognizing this two decades ago, our board got a matching grant to buy faculty the time to develop a curriculum that encourages teamwork and helps students think how entire business departments must work together to succeed.”

The board has also been instrumental in the college’s signature university-wide entrepreneurship program, Vandal Innovation and Enterprise Works (VIEW), which features an annual business plan competition, guest speakers and an elevator pitch competition, where students pitch business ideas to industry professionals in two minutes – the time of an elevator ride.

“We now have programs like VIEW that give students the skills, resources, connections and entrepreneurial mindset to move innovation from classrooms and laboratories into the marketplace,” Carlson said.

Dean Mario Reyes and other college leaders look to the board for guidance on not only curriculum and other learning programs, but also fundraising.

“The board contributed gifts and helped raise money to entirely fund the J.A. Albertson Building,” Reyes said. ”The board is also responsible for gift commitments in excess of 25 percent of the nearly $20 million in our most recent campaign.”

Board members travel (on their own dime) at least twice a year to meet, usually in Moscow or Boise, with college leadership, faculty and students. This fall, the board held a meeting for the first time outside of the state of Idaho. The group gathered in New York City in September to coincide with a CBE student trip. Topping the agenda is the February 2015 college accreditation visit to campus by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the world’s top accreditation agency. Some 5.5 percent of the 13,000 business programs worldwide have earned the accreditation.

The college hit a home run during its last (2010) AACSB accreditation. Among many accolades, the accreditation team praised the Dean’s Advisory Board for the way it provides input and feedback on student and faculty performance and its efforts to bring industry speakers to campus, connect students to internships, and raise funds for the college.

Service on the board is a huge commitment, but many board members said they enjoy the responsibility. Dan Alsaker, a recent board chair and head of Spokane-based Alsaker Corp., which owns a chain of truck stops, said he always returns from board meetings “re-invigorated.”

“The students and college are amazing,” he said. “I always come back with a new idea. I get much more out of being on the board than I give.” enterprise | 19

Pursuing a Future on and off the Field

By Brian Keenan Maxx Forde, senior student-athlete and defensive end for the Vandal football team, has become a leader on the gridiron. However, when he’s not on the practice field, you’re likely to find Maxx in the library, studying to complete a double major in marketing and finance in the College of Business and Economics (CBE).

“I was fortunate enough to get a full scholarship for football, and the scholarship support has been great,” he said. “If I didn’t have that, I don’t really know how I would try and work my way through college.”

On the football field, Forde has emerged as a standout. But it’s not just his work between the sidelines that has helped him grow – in the classroom, Forde has also tackled unique opportunities.

“Being able to focus on my education is something that has been great for me,” Forde said. “Sometimes I get challenged a little bit on the classroom and on the field. But I think that things that challenge

20

| enterprise

you are things that help you grow, and my leadership skills have definitely grown.”

When he’s not on the practice field or chasing down a quarterback, Forde is immersed in the CBE’s Integrated Business Curriculum and hands-on learning experiences, like the Barker Capital Management and Trading Program. He also participated in the 2014 VIEW Business Plan Competition. Forde and his VIEW teammates placed third in the competition’s Innovative Ventures division for their eyedropper product idea, the Dual Dropper.

“I’d eventually like to own my own business,” Forde said. “I talked to the business school about the Integrated Business Curriculum, and it seemed impressive – being able to work on small teams, and getting both the hard and soft side of business. That’s stuff that you’re going to need to know to be able to run a business, so being able to learn that in school, that was a big reason for choosing the University of Idaho for me.”

ExecutiveEDUCATION

2014 Utility Executive Course The 61st annual University of Idaho Utility Executive Course (UEC) drew 62 utility leaders from 34 companies, including international participants from Bermuda and Thailand. Participants spent June 9-26 on the UI campus for three weeks of intensive learning from a widely respected faculty of industry and academic leaders, including CBE Dean Mario Reyes. The rigorous curriculum explored topics ranging from industry trends and technology developments, to regulation and finance, to the customer experience and executive leadership.

The 4th annual UEC Summit, at the Coeur d’Alene Resort was also a great success.

Twenty-four participants from 22 companies attended the three-day program. The UEC Summit and three-week UEC program concluded with a joint session led by instructors Ralph Cavanagh, co-director, Energy and Transportation Program, Natural Resources Defense Council; and David Owens, executive vice-president, Edison Electric Institute. The pair closed the Summit with a provocative point-counterpoint on the current utility industry and environment.

“Under the directorship of Yvonne Sertich and the support and engagement of the UEC Advisory Board – which consists of industry executives – the UEC continues to strengthen its position as the industry leader in executive education in the utility space,” said Dean Mario Reyes.

Featured guest speakers for the two UEC programs included Kimberly Harris, president and CEO, Puget Sound Energy; Walter Higgins, III, president and CEO, Ascendant Group Ltd (Bermuda); Michael Hunter, president, Southcross Energy, LLC; Milton Lee, president, Lee Energy Partners, LLC; and Scott Morris, president and CEO, Avista Corp.

David Owens of Edison Electric Institute and Ralph Cavanagh of the Natural Resources Defense Council, delivered the 2014 UEC and UEC Summit combined capstone presentation, “Industry and the Environment: a Dialog.”

The next UEC three-week program will be held June 8-25, 2015. The Summit is scheduled for June 23-25.

Coming Up Rosie Vandal-Owned Company Named Small Business of the Month It has been a good couple of years for University of Idaho alumna Alicia Vanderschuere ’01 (marketing). Vanderschuere owns rosieMADE (rosiemade. com), an online marketplace that sells specialty products made in the U.S.A. by women-friendly companies. She founded the company in 2012 and now operates the growing small business from her home in Meridian, Idaho.

Named for Rosie the Riveter, the iconic World War II figure, the online retail website includes a “Real Life Rosies” section that profiles women entrepreneurs across the U.S. This July, U.S. Sen. Jim Risch recognized Vanderschuere’s rosieMade as Idaho Small Business of the Month.

“Within a few short years, Alicia Vanderschuere and rosieMADE have already achieved an outstanding reputation for quality, as well as that of a unique Idaho gem,” Risch said in his official recognition of rosieMADE, according to congressional records. “…With rosieMADE’s commitment to female small business owners, I hope they will inspire more women throughout the nation to become entrepreneurs.”

In 2013, Vanderschuere was featured on the cover of the Idaho Women’s Journal and is currently listed as one of the Idaho Women’s Journal’s “Who’s Who of Idaho Women.’’ In addition, in February 2014, she received the Women of the Year Award from the Idaho Business Review.

Alicia Vanderschuere’s rosieMADE was named Small Business of the Month.

Eric Nielsen (far right) with Associate Professor of Accounting Marla Kraut and fellow 2014 graduates of the concurrent Juris Doctor/Master of Accountancy degree program, Ryan Jacobson (far left) and Andrew Rawlings.

Dually Prepared New graduate puts degrees in law and accounting to work Shortly after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in business from Brigham Young University, Eric Bradford Nielsen of Twin Falls came to the University of Idaho to study law. In his law classes, he noticed that finances often arose in common legal issues, such as business associations, wills and trusts, family law, community property, tax and more.

He realized an education in accounting would be valuable. In his third year of law school, Nielsen began to explore if the university’s juris doctor/master of accountancy degree program would be a good option for him. The program allows students to earn both advanced degrees in as few as seven semesters.

Nielsen met with Marla Kraut, head of the College of Business and Economics (CBE) Department of Accounting, who answered his questions and helped him get started in the concurrent degree program. She also connected Eric to scholarships to help offset the additional costs.

“Marla is an amazing example of someone who is completely committed to helping students realize their educational goals in a short amount of time at a price they can afford,” he said.

As a student in the master of accountancy program – one of few accounting degree programs in the world accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International – Nielsen gained valuable hands-on experience. For example, he served as co-president of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, in which he and other accounting students and law students prepared tax returns for members of the community.

Nielsen graduated in May 2014 with both his juris doctor degree and master of accountancy degree. He now works for the law firm Roy, Barini-Garcia & Platts in Twin Falls. He said his experience in the accounting program prepared him to better serve clients.

“Understanding accounting and taxes will be invaluable as I work with clients’ finances and help them through tax issues,” he said.

“My education has given me an added measure of confidence.”

Since 2007, we have worked hard to educate our stakeholders about the impact of private support on the college’s ability to execute our strategic plan and provide our students with the best undergraduate experience possible. Thanks to you, the college has surpassed our goal of raising $18 million, which will directly support the ongoing success of our students, faculty, programs and facilities. By Dec. 31, we expect CBE’s campaign totals to exceed $20 million. As part of our celebration for reaching the college goal, Dean Mario Reyes made his firstever visit to the Corner Club!

I feel fortunate to have been a part of the generosity, loyalty and leadership associated with all of the special people we have lost, and I know many at the college and university feel the same.

During her final trip to campus as part of a reunion last fall, Mert Michael said, “I feel sorry for anyone who is not a Vandal.” I have to believe that our departed friends are together now and nodding in agreement with Mert’s assessment.

We are deeply grateful for your continued support of the college, and we hope our gratitude is evident throughout these pages. In this issue, we highlight the exceptional experiences and learning opportunities that your support has helped to make possible.

Private funding is essential in the growth and development of our students. It is also used to support our faculty members who work every day to bring CBE’s unique business curriculum alive in the classroom and out in the field.

Dean Reyes, the faculty, the students and the staff thank you for your role in making the lives of our students better and richer. We are fortunate to be a part of the Vandal community, and we make it our business to help inspire the next generation of this very special family. Thank you for supporting the college and doing your part to inspire future Vandals.

Donor News Ann and Dale Nelson Ann ’82 and Dale Nelson ’84 have made a commitment to support accounting faculty fellowships as part of a leadership gift to the college for the Inspiring Futures campaign.

An audit partner with KPMG’s Boise and Seattle offices, Ann is the partner in charge of KPMG’s U.S. and global forest products practice. She has spent her entire 33-year career with KPMG. She manages engagement teams, doing project work for public and privately held companies. She also provides audit and accounting services to companies in various industries, including forest products, airlines and retail.

Ann and Dale both graduated from the University of Idaho with a Ann Nelson bachelor’s degree in business, with an accounting emphasis. Ann is a CPA and holds licenses in Idaho, Washington and Oregon. She is a current member of the college advisory board and is on the board of the Boise Chamber of Commerce. Ann will visit the campus in December to present to Business 490 students as part of the Jack Morris Executive Speaker Series.

“As I look back over my career, I believe there are two main drivers to my success in life: one, my parents and how they raised me; and two, my education at the University of Idaho,” she said.

“Supporting UI in this leadership gift is one small way that my husband and I can both say thank you to UI and all this amazing institution has done for the Nelson family!”

Doug and Deidre Chadderdon Doug ’81 and Deidre Chadderdon of Coeur d’Alene were honored this fall for their lifetime of leadership giving to the University of Idaho and longtime commitment to the College of Business and Economics (CBE) and Vandal Athletics. Most recently, the Chadderdons committed a leadership gift to the CBE Dean’s Excellence Fund.

Doug, a member of the CBE Advisory Board, is president, CEO and principal owner of Great Floors, LLC, one of America’s largest specialty floor covering retailers. He is also founder and a former board member of Community 1st Bank. He has served as a board member on the Idaho Community Foundation.

Doug and Deidre’s son, Charlie, is a graduate of CBE and is working for Wells Fargo in Portland.

Their daughter, Ann, is currently a student in the college and is the CIO of the Davis Investment Group. She is earning degrees in finance and Spanish.

“The University of Idaho means more to my family than I can express in words,” Doug said. “Two of my sisters attended UI, as well as both of my business partners, Jim McGee and Ken Chadderdon.

My mother has nine grandchildren, all of whom hold either an undergraduate or graduate degree, and all would agree that the University of Idaho prepared them well for life after college. To say we are proud Vandals, well, that would be an understatement. Thank you, UI.”

Michael Hunter (second from left) celebrates his company, SouthCross Energy Partners, going public in 2012 at the New York Stock Exchange.

Michael Hunter teaching a seminar as part of the 2014 Utility Executive Course.

A Man Walked into a Bar… Energy executive and UI benefactor, Michael Hunter, credits success to circumstance, education and teamwork

By Stacie Jones Sometimes, it’s just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

Today, he is a founder and vice chairman of SouthCross Energy Partners in Dallas, Texas, an energy company that was taken public in 2012. The company owns four gas processing plants, two fractionation facilities and approximately 3,000 miles of pipeline in Texas, Mississippi and Alabama. Hunter is also chairman of the Texas Pipeline Association.

While the chance meeting of Clark at Mort’s Club and the subsequent UEC assistantship certainly put Hunter’s career in motion, his professional achievements are the result of more than circumstance.

“I try to surround myself with smart people – people who are hopefully a lot smarter than I am – and provide leadership to help them achieve their goals as well,” he said. “At every location I’ve been, it has been a team effort. I’ve had the privilege of being part of some really incredible teams.”

In 1972, while earning his bachelor’s degree in political science, University of Idaho alumnus Michael Hunter ’73 ’75 worked as a part-time bartender at Mort’s Club, “Idaho’s premier watering hole of the time,” Hunter said. It was there he met Mort’s patron and UI faculty member Bob Clark, then director of the Utility Executive Course (UEC). The two formed a friendship.

Hunter repeatedly traces his success back to the life-changing experiences and relationships he formed during his time at the University of Idaho.

Hunter later entered the M.B.A. program in the College of Business and Economics. Clark invited Hunter to serve as his assistant for the UEC program while he completed his graduate work. Hunter didn’t realize it at the time, but the position would spark a long and accomplished career in the energy industry.

He and his wife Carol recently acknowledged their gratitude for the university with a $250,000 commitment to the Inspiring Futures campaign. The gift will benefit the College of Business and Economics; the College of Letters, Arts and Social Science; and the Utility Executive Course.

“When I step back and look at it, had I not been a Mort’s bartender, I probably would not have met Bob Clark, and therefore I would not have been asked to be his assistant, and so on,” Hunter said. “It’s amazing how a sequence of events can be extremely meaningful in a life and a career.”

“My two colleges, the UEC program and the many great experiences afforded me at the University of Idaho all played a significant role in the business and other successes I’ve enjoyed since my college days,” said Hunter, who was also an ASUI senator and president of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

Over the past 38 years, Hunter has built an impressive resume that includes leadership roles at many energy companies. He has helped to shape the natural gas pipeline industry as an entrepreneur and investor, and as an executive for companies like Transok Pipeline, NorAm Energy Corp. (formerly Arkla), and Enserch Corp.’s Lonestar Pipeline. In 2000, he retired as president of TXU Corp.’s (now Energy Future Holdings Corp.) pipeline business unit, then the largest U.S. intrastate natural gas pipeline operation.

In addition to this gift, one of several the Hunters have made to the university in recent years, he supports his alma mater as a member of the UI Foundation Board of Directors and as an occasional member of the UEC faculty.

“My good fortune has all happened within the context of the University of Idaho,” he said. “Had I not gone there, I really don’t know where I’d be today.”

“For me, it is important to give back,” he said.

Editor’s note: At press time, the UI Alumni Association notified Mike Hunter that he will be inducted into UI Hall of Fame in May. enterprise | 33

IMPACT: In Their Own Words Last spring, seniors (now graduates) in the College of Business and Economics reflected on their last year at the UI. Here, two scholarship recipients share their stories and the many ways donor support has made a difference in their lives.

Major: Management and Human Resources

Major: Accounting

The summer between my junior and senior year, I was given the opportunity to pursue an internship directly related to my field of study. During this internship, I found that I have a passion for human resource management, and I was able to take on my senior year with a whole new outlook. I now had real-world HR experience and could apply this experience to my classes. With real-world experience, it was easier to understand the concepts that my professors were teaching.

The 2013-14 academic term has been a great year. I earned a 4.0 GPA in my course work, served as the president of our accounting honors society, and my wife and I had a baby girl in December.

Life has been full and extremely rewarding.

On top of being a full-time student, I am also a full-time front desk agent at the new Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott in Moscow. I am also affiliated with Pi Beta Phi Sorority, as well as the Society for Business Management and Human Resources. I like to keep myself busy and work hard to put myself through school.

I accepted a great internship with a prestigious accounting firm in Seattle, where I plan to begin my career after graduation. I will use my accounting degree to become a CPA, to earn a master’s in accounting, and to possibly pursue a law degree. I want to be a responsible, caring co-worker and mentor and hope to be able to give back some day.

In the future, I see myself working as an HR professional in the hospitality industry. I have a passion for HR, as well as hospitality.

Having experience in both attributes, I am excited to start my career today!

Receiving this scholarship means a lot to me. Even with the combination of my job, financial aid, and my parents’ assistance, I am still unable to cover my expenses fully. The scholarships that I have been awarded have helped out greatly. Being from Washington, I pay out-of-state tuition. Without the help of scholarship funds, I can honestly say that I wouldn’t have been able to attend the University of Idaho. These scholarships have helped me tremendously.

I want to extend a thank you for all the help you have given me financially. I couldn’t have done it without you!

In my free time last semester, I served as the president of an accounting honors society, worked part-time at Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, and enjoyed spending time with my wife. I finalized my graduate school applications and tried to find time to relax occasionally.

As a first-generation college student and new father, I certainly was in need of the funding your scholarship provided. With your help I have been able to avoid debt and focus on graduate school applications and course work. I already had a high GPA, but your gift helped me earn a 4.0 in all of my classes and prepared me to get accepted into several top-ranked master’s programs.

I want to say thank you for your scholarship assistance. You have helped me realize my dream of successfully achieving my education, and I am grateful for that. Your generosity serves as a wonderful example to me, and I hope to emulate it someday.

Faculty fellowships Faculty fellowships support excellence in teaching and scholarship. They are critical in the college’s ability to recruit and retain the very best researchers, teachers and mentors for our students.

Planning for the Future

by Tim Gutzwiller, ‘91

Students find their way to the University of Idaho by various routes. My first stint at UI was via the National Student Exchange from another university. I fell in love with the downto-earth beauty of the Palouse, the unique character of the campus, and the academic opportunities.

After receiving my first undergraduate degree and working a full-time job in restaurant management, I returned to UI more mature, in my early 30s, married and with a small child.

When I graduated in 1991 from the UI with a business degree, we moved to Portland, Ore., where I worked for a manufacturer of silicon wafers. Today we live in Boise, where I work in production planning for an international dairy company.

Life has been good for our family, and we feel the education I received at UI opened many doors. One way that I have chosen to pay forward the educational opportunity that I was afforded was to include the University of Idaho in our will.

Go Vandals!

In Memoriam

Please join us in remembering these loyal benefactors and the many significant contributions they have made to the College of Business and Economics in support of our students, faculty and programs. Their legacy will live on for generations to come.

Meryle Kay Michael 1941-2014 Meryle Kay Michael ’63, Boise, Idaho, was the first lady to former interim UI president Gary Michael. She and Gary were instrumental in leading the campaign to fund and build the J.A. Albertson Building.

She was also the inspiration behind the Legacy Pointe project at the Idaho Water Center, where a conference community meeting space, “Mert’s Room,” is named in her honor. In April, she was honored posthumously with the university’s Jim Lyle award for her contributions to UI and its alumni. Mert is survived by her husband of 52 years, Gary; son Glenn and his wife, Tina; son J.P. and his wife, Linda; and son Todd and his wife, Leslie; and nine grandchildren.

Dean Welch 1928-2014 Dean Welch ’50 was the benefactor who established CBE’s largest scholarship endowment. A native of Emmett, Idaho, the former steel and aerospace executive and his late wife, Gay, were longtime UI donors. He also was a former member of the CBE Advisory Board. In 1996, the Welches established the L. Dean and Gay Welch University of Idaho Scholarship Endowment, which has helped hundreds of students from the state of Idaho earn their degrees in the CBE.

Myron Johnston 1930-2014 Myron Johnston of Virginia and his late wife, LaVerda, established the Myron E. and LaVerda B. Johnston Scholarship Endowment with a gift of $1.1 million to the CBE. Johnston studied economics at the UI and served as a student assistant to professor and renowned economist, Dr. Erwin Graue. After graduating with high honors, Johnston went on to a 30-year career at Philip Morris.

Russell Chrysler 1908-2014 CBE Professor Emeritus Russell Chrysler of Moscow lived to the age of 105. He and his late wife, Esther, moved to Moscow in 1959. He taught in the CBE as professor of marketing and also served as college dean from 1970-71. He retired in 1974. In 2012, Chrysler’s name was added to the CBE’s 1889 Society wall plaque, which honors donors of $1 million or more. His gift of more than $2.5 million in Target stock created a charitable remainder trust to establish the Chrysler Marketing Scholars Fund, which will support scholarships for marketing students.

Charles “Chuck” Story 1926-2014 Chuck Story ’50 of Boise was a longtime supporter of the CBE. Story, who retired in 1985 after a 35year career with Chevron, and his late wife, Patricia ’50, established the Story Family Scholarship Endowment. Over his lifetime, he contributed $250,000 to the endowment to help students receive the same education that was beneficial in their own lives and that of their daughter, Karen Story Snow ’80.

Give & GROW Without scholarships, countless students seeking a degree from the College of Business and Economics would not be able to attend the University of Idaho. Many of the scholarships awarded recognize students for their academic achievements, and allow them to pursue their dreams of excelling in the profession of their choice.

The faculty, staff and students extend a gracious thank you to our generous donors who recognize the importance of higher education and realize that many of tomorrow’s leaders might not be able to attend the University of Idaho without financial assistance.
