President’s Message A

s our 2019-2020 Annual Report reaches

EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE

you, we are actively moving to our new

Our new campus is designed specifically to provide high-quality education for the health care professions, with multiple large technique classrooms to support hands-on lab work of all kinds, flexible classrooms that support active learning styles such as discussion and group work, and multipurpose rooms that allow a blended delivery of lecture and lab work. All these spaces have been equipped with the latest technology to ensure that our students continue to thrive in an increasingly complex health care ecosystem.

campus in Portland, Oregon and navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. We recognize that these recent weeks have been trying and uncertain.

Be assured that university leadership and employees are dedicated to ensuring that our students receive the best educational and clinical experiences possible as we all work together to address this difficult public health challenge. We

will be fully transitioned to the new campus by April 6, and though all lecture classes will be conducted online until further notice based on directives from the State of Oregon, we are excited about what this new space means for the university's future and our student's education. Your support has provided us with such substantial forward momentum - through donations, students referrals and investment in your UWS community. We couldn't do this important work without you, and I thank each of you for the ways you have championed UWS through this evolution. Below are just a few examples of

IMPACT The impact of our relocation goes beyond just our students and employees—it touches our whole community. Our new, central location allows for greater patient access to our clinic and new partnerships with community, clinical and educational organizations.

And, of course, our continued focus on innovation and educational excellence will shape our students into the whole-person, integrated health care practitioners of the future, all for the good of the patient.

your direct impact when you support UWS.

INNOVATION The construction of our new campus has afforded us the opportunity to partner with Dr. Bill Moreau to lead an interdisciplinary clinic inside our new, larger and more modern clinic space. This partnership will allow senior student interns to observe and engage first-hand in a world-class integrated clinic and work alongside chiropractic physicians, physical therapists, athletic trainers, acupuncturists and a variety of other provider to deliver optimal care to each patient. This interdisciplinary model is the future of health care, demanded by patients and supported by positive outcomes.

As a thank you for your contributions and a celebration of what we have accomplished together, you are invited to attend our New Campus Grand Opening on Friday, August 21 and Saturday, August 22. Please save the date. Additional information will follow soon.

Sincerely,

Joseph Brimhall, DC President and CEO

Student Innovation Through Scholarships G

ifts to scholarship funds are one important way that donors directly impact the lives of your future health

care colleagues. In 2019, 278 students were awarded scholarships totaling $1,512,376.

Thanks to donor support, the following scholarships are offered within the chiropractic program: •

Doctor of Chiropractic Prerequisite Science Award

•

Career Change Scholarship

•

Diversity in Health Care Scholarship

•

Gender Equality Scholarship

•

Dean’s Scholarship

Other donor-supported program scholarships include: •

Community Service and Leadership Scholarship

•

Standard Process Scholarship

•

Dr. Jan Neal Scholarship

Doctor of Chiropractic students Alan Su and Andrea Emde received scholarships from Standard Process, Inc., after submitting scholarly essays answering the question, “When you enter practice, how will you work to integrate nutrition into your practice to maximize the health of your patients?”

8

“The alumni who donate to the UWS scholarship fund are serving the students in their endeavors to become outstanding health care professionals.

This service attitude translates to the work of the students who aim to serve others in their roles as practicing professionals and thus humanity. Resources which assist in lowering the debt burden for graduating chiropractic physicians ultimately allow practitioners to provide more focused, patient-centered health services by reducing the mental stress of substantial student debt. Thank you for your thoughtful contribution.”

Devin Hitchcock, Q4 Doctor of Chiropractic Student

“I’m from St. Albert, Albert, Canada and I received the Dean’s scholarship for my incoming class. I found that my strong science background from my undergraduate degree at the University of South Dakota gave me the necessary qualifications to be successful in receiving the award. This scholarship was a wonderful help to me in assisting me with my student fees.”

“I cannot emphasize enough the extent to which an academic scholarship can positively affect the life of a student.

One such effect was that the extra funds allowed me to purchase more fruits and vegetables every month without feeling guilty that I was spending too much on food. Looking back, it was a simple change, but it carried a tremendous weight. I can honestly say that investing that little extra bit on my physical health and maintaining a well-rounded diet was the single biggest contributor to staying healthy and intellectually sharp while learning to navigate the demanding doctor of chiropractic (DC) program. The Dean’s scholarship has had such an incredibly positive effect on both my mental and physical health that I intend to one day give back to the UWS scholarship fund in order to help ease the many burdens experienced by the average DC student.”

Investment in Equity: Cultural Innovation at UWS In early 2018, University of Western States formed an equity task force with faculty and staff, and the effort is supported by new clubs such as ENGAGE (Ending Negative Generalizations and Growing Equality), the first-ever Pacific Northwest chapter of the Student American Black Chiropractic Association (SABCA), and the growth of the UWS Allies Club.

A

s the U.S. population becomes more racially and ethnically diverse, UWS is taking steps to ensure that the university fosters a culture of inclusivity and that curricula supports cultural competence as a key student learning outcome.

These steps are an important way to minimize racial health disparities in the communities that UWS students and alumni serve.

"As health care providers and educators, we share a duty to promote cultural competence in health care education, to expand access for integrated health care services, and to increase educational and professional development opportunities for students from diverse and underserved communities," said UWS President Joseph Brimhall, DC. "We are proud to deepen our commitment to creating an open and inclusive community for our students and employees, so that we are best positioned to fulfill our mission to advance the science and art of integrated health care through excellence in education and patient care."

14

In early 2019, UWS partnered with Portland’s Center for Equity and Inclusion (CEI). This consulting agency focuses their efforts on long-term and sustainable organizational change; guiding organizations through a process to create a more

inclusive and equitable work environments. Notable local partnerships include the Portland Trail Blazers, Oregon Public Radio, the Oregon Food Bank and the Portland Art Museum.

The CEI approach to equity work focuses around the idea that, "in order for meaningful, sustainable change to occur in any environment, a transformative process that includes all people and aspects of an organization must take place."

To support this transformative approach, UWS convened an equity task force comprised of faculty, staff and university leadership, with input from ASB and other key student groups.

“As a university that focuses on health sciences, we have a responsibility to promote cultural sensitivity and humility in our students so that they can be responsive to their patients’ needs and values,” said Alisa Fairweather, UWS director of community engagement. “Having a transformative culture shift that becomes the foundation for the way our university operates will hopefully attract and maintain a diverse crosssection of students, faculty and staff to the UWS campus, which will benefit us all. There is a significant lack of diversity in the health care professions, so part of our goal is to improve those statistics.”

The UWS equity task force, facilitated by CEI, is working through a three-step curriculum including consciousness-raising, tool-building and strategic planning.

By taking the time to shift the university culture, UWS hopes to create lasting and meaningful change throughout the organization.

“The equity work that we are undergoing is fundamental, because it is helping us to better reflect on and identify who we are as a higher education institution so we can convey these ideas to prospective students. This work has been important to me because, I envision equity as an invitation to step out of our respective comfort zones, questioning assumptions about who we think we are. As a Latina woman of color, I welcome new opportunities for learning and growth and I deeply appreciate my colleagues and all of those who are embarked in this journey towards institutional change.”

– Laura Burbano, UWS admissions advisor, member of the Equity Task Force

“The [CEI] curriculum that has been presented to us has given me a different and more substantive understanding of the cultural and racial systems that I have been a part of my entire life,” said Dr. Kara Burnham, UWS associate professor in the department of basic sciences. “Seeing these systems through the lens that has been presented has taught me a great deal and has enabled me to identify and discuss aspects of racism that I simply did not recognize prior to this training.”

The work UWS is engaged in with CEI through 2020 is just the beginning. Over time, UWS will engage more staff and key stakeholders in efforts to continue to embed the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion into all aspects of the organization, from admissions, program curricula, student services, communication, the clinic system, community engagement, alumni relations and beyond.

“My department typically interacts with students early in the doctor of chiropractic program,” said Dr. Burnham. “Having the framework in place to make equity and inclusion a natural part of our community will set an expectation for both faculty and new students. As an institution, we must create a culture of inclusion as we move forward. Our students and employees must feel that this community is one that welcomes everyone.”

“This work will create a more welcoming environment for everyone, not just for people of color or other traditionally marginalized groups,” said Fairweather. “It sets the bar for what the institution’s expectations are around inclusivity. From a community engagement perspective, it will send a clear message that we are committed to creating a safe and comfortable space for all of our constituents to learn, work and thrive.”

It was a great honor to join University of Western States in 2019 amidst an historic year, and I am proud to share the financial highlights of fiscal year 2018-2019.

Fiscal year 2018-2019 yielded the largest net surplus in university history as a result of the campus sale, positive enrollment and controlled expenses. The sale of the campus allowed the university to pay off all outstanding bonded debt, provided resources to fund the renovation of our amazing new location, and enhanced our overall financial and cash position.

Revenue generated from tuition and fees, contributions, clinical services and other sources allowed the university to provide excellent instruction and support services to our students, including increased opportunities to develop their clinical competencies. UWS takes immense pride in hiring and retaining faculty and staff who are passionate about serving our students and patients and furthering our mission.

High-quality, dedicated university employees continue to be the university's most valuable resource as we advance the science and art of integrated health care through excellence in education and patient care.

UWS Board of Trustees Message by naming classrooms and campus resources at our new building, and by listing UWS in their estate plan or will. Your contributions are creating a legacy for the future of integrated health care, impacting our students, our patients and the communities that UWS graduates serve across the country and the world.

I believe that our move to the new campus represents a truly huge leap for the progress of our university. From classroom design to technology upgrades and a transformation of the clinic system, we will be better equipped to serve our students, and we will continue to excel in our mission to advance the science and art of integrated health care through excellence in education and patient care.
