Board Members were asked:
“Given we can no longer rely on Federal and State financial support, philanthropy reflecting the hearts and minds of each WSC donor is our greatest opportunity to succeed.” David McEntire (’80) President, WSC Foundation President, AmStar Homes, Inc.
“With Federal and State budgets being slashed over the recent years and foreseeable in the coming years, the financial support and existence of State universities and colleges relies heavily on the philanthropic giving of U.S. citizens. The State of Colorado has turned its focus away from higher education in hopes that private citizens will personally fund the budgets of the Colorado colleges and universities. The future growth and welfare of Western weighs greatly on the gracious philanthropy of those who give of their personal assets.” Art Harter (’78) Vice President, WSC Foundation Senior Vice President, Investments, Smith Barney 12
