D
ear Western Nation, It is with great pleasure that this year I can say we asked you to Western Up, and you did.
With renewed goals and purpose comes new challenges. Western has accomplished many goals this past year and continues to strive to improve our unique and remarkable institution of higher education. We have witnessed many firsts. The first Running of the Red received recognition by the BBC as one of their top photographs of the day. Our recognition is climbing from the likes of US News & World Report, we are increasing our enrollment and developing degrees that produce real opportunities for our graduates.
And while not a first, we as a Foundation readily accept the challenges to step up and deliver on our mission: “To provide financial leadership and support of the Western State Colorado University vision while offering an ever-improving and remarkable learning environment.” We applaud you for this past year’s support and cheer you on in your efforts to join us in the ongoing pursuit to lead, nurture and grow Western. Let’s keep the momentum, and Western Up!
Gratefully,
Art Harter (‘78) President, Western State Foundation
Our Mission :
“To provide financial leadership and support of the Western State Colorado University vision while offering an ever-improving and remarkable learning environment.”

Another first, as described at the back of this report, is letting all of us take home our very own piece of the “W.” This year the President’s Club level donors ($1,000 and higher) can have their own piece of the “W” to remind us every day about this special place in Gunnison.

President, Western State Colorado Universit y
When I accepted the position of President at Western State Colorado University, I knew that many of our supporters were worried about our institution, as our enrollment has trended primarily downward over the last couple of decades. But thanks to a tireless faculty and administration working on an expedited schedule, our entire campus, Board of Trustees, and the Western State Foundation are now aligned behind a new strategic plan that will lift our University in size, status and quality. As I listened to Governor Hickenlooper address our graduates in May, I sensed a growing energy, a reawakening perhaps – and indeed, as the year unfolded, it became clear that 2014 was a launching pad for Western, and that our finest days still lie ahead. In 2014, Western was one of the very few Colorado schools to increase its year over year enrollment. Our graduation rate was not only up this year, it is now higher than our peer group. Our retention rate was not only up, it is now higher than our peer group. We now have the most diverse class in our history. We added two new graduate programs this year, an MA in Creative Writing and a Master in Environmental Management. We built the new Mountaineer Field House – a state-of-the-art recreation and athletic facility with climbing walls, weight rooms, workout rooms, a unique high altitude performance lab, and the highest collegiate track in America. And all of this is provided to students at a cost that is dramatically lower
than most of the four-year public institutions in Colorado – our tuition is actually third lowest in the State. This is a big part of why our students graduate with a debt load that is consistently the lowest or near-lowest of these schools. Our supporters have sensed the momentum of 2014 as well, and our donor base has been re-awakened. Paul Rady is a 1978 graduate who came to Western as a struggling student with a 2.3 GPA out of high school. He is now Chairman and CEO of Antero Resources and just donated an additional $1.5 million to our Petroleum Geology Program. Sean Markey is a 1993 graduate who wasn’t happy driving trucks for a living and hoped that his education here might allow him a new career opportunity. It did. He is now a renowned neurosurgeon in the Denver metro area. Dr. Markey generously donated $300,000 to Western this year. Steve Borick, a 1975 graduate who has already funded our new business building which bears his name, stepped up even further this year with yet another gift. All of these supporters and many more recognize that Western is an incredibly rare and special place. Our uniqueness stems not only from our breathtaking natural beauty in the heart of the Rockies, but from our unparalleled student experience guided by some of the best faculty anywhere – some 87% of whom have the highest degrees possible in their fields. Since our inception more than a century ago, we have relied almost exclusively on word-of-mouth for promoting Western. But starting with 2014, it’s time to take the gloves off. We hired John Kawauchi as our new Vice President of Marketing. He will lead our outreach and communications teams as they build new capabilities for telling the Western story. We have one of the most compelling stories in higher education, and it’s time to let the rest of the world know. 2014 represents a sort of rebirth for Western – and we are already seeing the signposts of progress toward some of our goals. We now have the right plan. We have the right people. And we have the right spirit and conviction. I look forward to joining you in our continued efforts in the coming year.
Sincerely,
Greg Salsbury President, Western State Colorado University

ear Friends,
As I reflect on 2014, I’m reminded of a quote that’s especially appropriate to describe the efforts of Western Nation and how so many of us approach life. The quote—and I’m paraphrasing—goes something like “It is better to struggle aiming high than to succeed aiming low; so high that even falling short will still provide an echo of glory.” All things big and small here at Western demonstrate that we take the path less travelled, challenge convention, push our fellow human beings to be better, expect more and give even greater.
This past year, I saw it in the joy of a student donning a red morph suit to welcome USA Pro Challenge Cyclists; the astonishment in Barry Clifford’s (‘69) discovery of the Santa Maria; the rise of Western in the US News & World Report college rankings; the over-achievements of our wrestling program in the Better Than Good Graphic Awards competition; the pride we all felt when the BBC called out our Running of the Red as a top 10 Picture of the Day; and the outpouring of gifts from Western alumni and friends totaling $4.3 million! The list of examples—big and small—goes on and on, providing so many inspiring moments that help define our amazing institution. We thank all of you for contributing in so many ways to this amazing institution. For supporting students who would not be here if not for your assistance. And for setting the example that instills the ambition in us all to never settle. To all members of Western Nation that Western Up, thank you for allowing us to aim high. And helping us experience our own echo of glory.
Warmly,
Thomas F. Burggraf, Jr. Executive Director, Western State Foundation
“It is better to struggle aiming high than to succeed aiming low; so high that even falling short will still provide an echo of glory.”

Western Up! For Dr. Greg Salsbury
T
he Board of Trustees of Western State Colorado University has selected Dr. Gregory Salsbury to be the school’s 14th president.
Salsbury brings 37 years of professional experience, including executive management of a multi-billion dollar business, teaching engagements at eight institutions of higher learning, nearly two-dozen publications, several master’s degrees and a PhD in Organizational Communication from the University of Southern California. “While Dr. Salsbury has an impressive past and an effective command of the present, our appointment of him to lead this great institution was made for his vision and enthusiasm about the future of Western State Colorado University,” says Todd Wheeler, Chairman of Western’s Board of Trustees. “Dr. Salsbury demonstrates a passion for leading the institution toward a unified vision of success, which is balanced throughout the enterprise, and a steadfast commitment to improving student outcomes, while holding the institution accountable to our values: quality, achievement, innovation, fiscal responsibility and growth.”
“Western is a remarkable institution, with equally remarkable people behind her,” Salsbury says. “The deep level of commitment of the multiple stakeholders – the Foundation, Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, administration, alumni and community – was evident in the extraordinarily thorough due-diligence process. I am both honored and thrilled to be joining the team and look forward to contributing.” Salsbury has worked for the Jackson National Life Insurance Company since 1997. He has functioned as Jackson National Life’s Executive Vice President of Distribution and Head of Sales for Banks and Wirehouses. Earlier in his career Salsbury was an instructor at several institutions, including: University of Southern California, California State University, Fullerton, University of California Los Angeles, Santa Barbara City College, and St. Mary’s College in Moraga. Salsbury holds a PhD in Organizational Communication from the University of Southern California, a Master of Arts in Communication Management from the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, a Master of Arts in Communication from the University of Illinois, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Speech Communication and Psychology from Southern Illinois University.
Comprehensive new effort seeks to increase enrollment and improve success.
Advancing
Western Despite an uptick in enrollment recently, Western remains significantly behind its historical levels and current potential. Meanwhile, competing institutions have spent heavily on outreach, while state funding for higher education had dropped dramatically. All of those factors—and more—have driven the need for and helped shape a new multi-faceted proposal to lift the Western brand and significantly increase awareness and enrollment.
Major aspects of the advancement effort include: • Development of core branding messages. • Creation of a robust arsenal of communi-
cation tools—not the least of which would be a compelling video presentation.
• A robust, targeted email and direct mail campaign.
• A comprehensive advertising effort aimed at prospective students, their families and gatekeepers.
• Events to engage alumni, high school counselors and campus visitors.
• Elite scholarships aimed at attracting academic “starts,” both in-state and out-of-state.
It’s a comprehensive, multi-faceted advancement plan that will require significant support. Luckily, the Western State Foundation has made sure that support is already underway with a commitment of $1.5 million to the University. Dr. Sean Markey (’93), Foundation Board Member, has provided a lead gift of $300,000. Gerry Shear (’92), Vice President of the Foundation Board, has committed $75,000 to the effort. “Individual giving is important to our University but when we all come together to collectively support a strategic initiative we are showing the strength of the Western family and our commitment to a strong future!” says Gerry. “Like any important effort, this won’t be easy,” said Maxine Pierce (’74), a Western State Foundation Board of Directors member who was instrumental in inspiring fellow Foundation Board members to join her efforts in the campaign. “But given increasing competition and decreasing state funding,” she said, “it’s critical to Western’s continued success.” Maxine, and the rest of the Foundation Board, encourage all those who support Western to help support this effort to make Western even better.

hile Western has experienced unprecedented success in the last several years, one area ripe for improvement is awareness, especially among Colorado high school students. In fact, research shows only 36 percent of those students are even aware of Western.

estern State Colorado University graduate Paul Rady has donated his second gift of more than $1 million to Western’s Petroleum Geology program, bringing Mr. Rady’s total donations to $2.5 million. Mr. Rady, Chairman, CEO and Co-Founder of Denver-based energy company Antero Resources, graduated from Western in 1978 with a degree in Geology and has had a long and successful career in the energy industry. “This major gift is a game-changer for Western’s Petroleum Geology offerings, and allows us to elevate what was already one of the best programs of its kind in the country,” says Western State Colorado University President Dr. Greg Salsbury. “Mr. Rady’s generosity will help generations of future Mountaineers begin great careers, and we couldn’t be more grateful.” The average annual salary of a recent graduate working as a petroleum geologist is $96,000 per year, according to the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Western’s Moncrief Petroleum Geology Program is designed for geoscientists pursuing careers in the oil and gas industry, as well as careers in resource assessment and energy policy. The program was created in 2002 thanks to Paul Rady’s charter gift of $1 million. Mr. Rady began his career working for Amoco in Denver, before moving on to eventually become CEO of Barrett Resources, then Chairman and CEO of Pennaco Energy. Paul then co-founded his current company, Antero Resources.
“Western State Colorado University’s Petroleum Geology program is outstanding, and my experience at Western gave me a great start,” Mr. Rady says. “Giving back to Western has been one of the greatest joys of my life. With this gift, Western will be able to grow its cutting-edge Petroleum Geology offerings and launch many more careers in an industry that is hiring large numbers of highly-paid geoscientists.” “Everyone present at the birth of the Petroleum Geology program can only marvel how Paul has anticipated the growth in industry careers and innovation over the past decade and gifted accordingly,” says Dr. Jim Coogan, the first Rady Chair of Petroleum Geology. “His latest investment will truly take Western’s offerings to the next level.” Western’s Petroleum Geology faculty and students work and learn in Hurst Hall, one of the most technologically sophisticated science buildings in Colorado. The indoor and outdoor Petroleum Geology lab is equipped with the state-of-the-art instruments, software, and data sets. During their time at Western, Petroleum Geology students learn in small classes taught by professors with top-notch experience. Students spend significant time researching in the field and developing professional contacts within the energy industry. Nearly all of Western’s Petroleum Geology graduates are either offered employment in the industry after graduation or accepted into graduate programs.

M
any of the Western Nation know of the Harters’ commitment to Western with Art’s years of service to the Western State Foundation Board of Directors, and most recently holding the position as President. If that was not enough, Art and Susie have made a significant financial commitment with a gift of $100,000 to the Western University Center. In addition to their gift, Art was instrumental in securing an Enterprise Zone classification for the University Center. The Colorado Enterprise Zone program provides for special tax considerations making gifts more advantageous to donors and the University.
The Art and Susie Harter Meeting Room is on the second floor of the University Center Building. The University Center is a key gathering place for students providing a unique environment on campus for students to engage and develop their leadership skills. Art graduated from Western in 1978 and is a Senior Vice President with Morgan Stanley where he has spent 30 plus years of his professional career. Art and Susie have three children and reside in Centennial, Colorado. Their oldest daughter, Mallory, and son-in-law, Zach, also graduated from Western.

We all know the old adage in sports, “We’ll get ‘em next time.” Well, during the 2014 USA Pro Cycling Challenge we did exactly that and more. How do you stand out on one of pro cycling’s biggest stages? Red morph suits seem to help. In 2012, the last time the race rolled through Gunnison, Western was lost in the shuffle. Determined not to repeat the past, the Western State Foundation helped Western make some noise, kick-start a new tradition and capture the attention of the world in the process.

One hundred and fifty-plus represented Western during the first Running of the Red. The energy was infectious, prompting racers, students and spectators to high five, fist pump and celebrate the moment and their pride in Western. And if that wasn’t enough, the race director created a hand written sign— “USA Challenge loves Western!”—while the British Broadcasting Company posted a picture of the Running of the Red, calling it one of their top pictures of the day. Relive the Running of the Red by checking out the YouTube video capturing the preparation and execution of a special day in the history of Western.

Art Harter (‘78) President, Western State Foundation Senior Vice President, Morgan Stanley “When I reminisce about the four years I spent at Western one word always comes to mind – People. The fellow students, professors, administrators and Gunnison Valley citizens had a very positive influence on my character then and in turn has carried through to today. I was a student that enjoyed being active and involved in many areas at Western. From sports to academics to church to theater to student activities to the business fraternity there was the fellowship of others that I was able to share with the joys, trials, disappointments and accomplishments. ‘Giving back’ is something that has always been very important and fulfilling to me. Not out of obligation or duty is it important for me to help Western students, but from passion and compassion. Being a donor and Board member of the Western State Colorado University Foundation are ways that I and fellow Board members help students at Western.”

Gerry Shear (’92) Vice President, Western State Foundation Managing Partner, GENCO Realty “I enjoyed my time in Gunnison and explored a one-of-a-kind outdoor environment with people who would become lifelong friends. As my future goals came into focus I found professors who were passionate about education and generous with their time to provide a quality learning experience. It is not always possible to thank those who helped and gave selflessly early on in my journey. So the best expression of gratitude is to come back to help and give selflessly to those who are early into their life journey. I want to help students by fully supporting the mission of the Western State Foundation as a Board leader and donor.”
David McEntire (’80) Immediate Past-President, Western State Foundation President, Amstar Homes “As a student I was focused on obtaining my degree at all costs. It’s important to help students at Western so that their experiences are as well rounded as possible and hence as valuable as their education. I enjoy giving my time and good fortune towards the creation of a remarkable learning and living experience.”
Henry “Hank” D. Windmoeller (’73) Treasurer, Western State Foundation CFO, Sills Cummis & Gross, PC “Being the first one from my family to go to college I was ill prepared for the experience, not only the academic requirements but the financial burden. As a result I spent a disproportionate amount of time working and not enough time preparing for classes or participating in campus activities. ‘Fair to poor’ would best describe me as a student. I was, however, very fortunate to have Dr. Mateik as my advisor, my role model and someone who demanded a lot from me. My experiences with Dr. Mateik prepared me to enjoy a challenging and rewarding career. I cherish my memories of Western and there is not a thing I would change about my experience. But I do know students of today handle stress differently than I did. I believe it is important to remove the stresses/ obstacles that rob them from being fully integrated within the Western community and limits their ability to excel as students in their chosen fields of endeavors. For these students it is important for me in some little way to help them financially to meet their academic goals and to be prepared for their first exposure to the business community. I am unfortunately unable to assist students financially as much as I would like. To supplement my financial assistance I spend my time coaching and mentoring young accounting students, whether it be traveling to Western to perform mock interviews, reviewing their resumes electronically or meeting with them for coffee in the city. Western students are our future and I see them as a good investment of our time and money.”

“I was very much an independent soul at Western. Having never lived on campus, the town of Gunnison and the campus environment were equally influential on me. I had many diverse extracurricular interests and I was able to pursue all of them, at a fairly high level, in the Western/Gunnison environment. I didn’t realize how unique this was until I left Gunnison and compared notes with other colleagues. I’m trying to tell the story to as many prospective students as I can but you have to visit to really get it.”

“Throughout my time in college, I was everything from a student athlete to a homeless person. My goal as a student was to experience everything I could. I never wanted to fit inside a certain box. Our society today needs more well-rounded people that will think outside the box. This is when great ideas like Google or Facebook happen. Western is the perfect environment for this. I give continued support through the Western State Foundation and the Business School. I’ve hired Western grads in the past and look forward to doing so in the future.”
“I’m not an alumnus of Western but certainly see many familiar themes between my experiences way back when and those of today’s Western students. Entering as a freshman, I had no specific career notions and had

only slightly firmer notions upon graduating. However, it has all worked out okay, and the foundation for that occurred in those intervening four years. I enjoy reassuring students today that if they build on their curiosity and drive that they’ve developed while at Western and carry that into the professional world, they will be more than okay – they will thrive.”

“I was an independent 17 yearold looking to attend a school as far away from home, but still in Colorado. A student that wanted the best education with the outdoor experience mixed in for some fun. It is important to share my Western experience and enthusiasm; to encourage young students to develop life-long skills and a commitment to learning. It was a huge part of my life that means so much to me; I feel every young student should have the same opportunity. I volunteer as a member of the Foundation to make sure the Western tradition carries on. And I contribute in any way I can so that every student that has the desire to attend Western, can.”
“I was a junior college transfer student. I came to Western on a football scholarship. I majored in Accounting with the intention of going to law school. While at Western, more than one fellow student told me that I would not be able to get into law school from Western. I felt that was ridiculous. I finished my Accounting degree, took the LSAT, and was accepted to five law schools in three states – three private law schools and two large state law schools. I graduated from law school cum laude and have been practicing law for 31 years.
I was a good student with a strong high school record and high ACT scores, but I needed the scholarship to cover the expense of a college education. And I loved to play football. I would like to encourage Western’s student-athletes and pre-law students, especially those that are both.”

“I found tremendous value at Western by focusing on opportunities that Western provided, beyond the academics. The ability to become involved in student activities, Student Government and Resident Advisor Programs presented tremendous growth and learning for me. Coupled with the recreational aspects that Gunnison has to offer, my education went well beyond the classroom. Western provides an environment where students can make a difference and affect their personal experience. I would have been lost at a bigger school and cherish my experiences at Western. It changed my life. As a Foundation Board member, we support Western to improve value for all stakeholders. Western is a special place, offering life lessons in a broad spectrum. From funding programs to focusing on enrollment and engagement, the Foundation Board attempts to fill in gaps and make a difference.”

I would hope that students like I was 40 years ago could see Western as not only an educational opportunity but also as a pathway for personal growth in a safe and nurturing environment. This is a key reason why I contribute my time and finances to the Western State Foundation each year – to do my part in ensuring students like I was continue to be cared for.”
“After I moved to Gunnison it didn’t take me long to realize I wanted to get involved with the Western State Foundation Board of Directors so I could help establish new goals and objectives for Western to better educate students and prepare them for tomorrow. I enjoy the vibrancy and energy Western students bring to the community, and it is very satisfying to know that what we do on the Board makes a difference for them, and many future generations of students.”
It’s important to help students like I was because there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to higher education. Some students will be drawn to larger universities, but for many, the ability to be part of a smaller campus community like Western and the opportunity to learn through Western’s combination of classroom and handson teaching will engage them in a more meaningful way.”

President, McGraw and McGraw, CPA “When I came to Western I was a lost soul with zero direction in my life. I tried to go to college in the Denver area but started and dropped out twice within one year. I had never been away from my parents and had no experience being totally responsible for myself. The social education I received at Western was equally important to the degree that I received. I am SO thankful to Western for the person I am today.
Steve Reynolds (’78) Co-Owner and Vice President, Infinity Oil and Gas, Inc. “I was not a good student my freshman year while searching for the right degree to go after. I took a year and a half off from school and came back with much more focus going after degrees in both Geology and Business Administration.
Sean Markey (’93) Director of Neurosurgery, Parker Adventist Hospital “I believe my ability to defy the odds has much to do with my time at Western. My professors believed in me, even at times when I did not believe in myself. They were connected to me personally as well, often giving me invaluable advice about life. They also would challenge me in order to prepare me for the rigorous testing, etc. that was soon to come. Subsequently, I was incredibly well trained for med school. I had learned that ‘I don’t know’ is not an answer, which has served me well in my current career. I now enjoy helping Western students believe in themselves, and showing them that anything is possible.”
Maxine Pierce (’74) Trustee, Topper Foundation “I think I was a fairly typical student while at Western. I studied, had fun, and experienced a lot of growth in a lot of different ways. Some kids come out of high school wanting that ‘big college’ education (my two sons included), but a lot of kids are just like I was. I could not thrive in classrooms with 500 students. I did NOT want to be in a huge metropolitan area. I feel that it is very important to get these kids into a college setting that they can succeed in – before they give up and start working in jobs that probably will negatively impact their lifetime earning potential. That does not mean that Western can’t get the ‘best and brightest’ students as our alumni list will prove – some kids just don’t realize how much potential they have. The two reasons I joined the Foundation Board were to (1) give something back to the place that changed my life and (2) help some of those ‘lost soul kids’ find out how amazing they can be.”

I think most students aren’t quite sure what they want to do coming out of high school. I believe I wouldn’t have found my passions, nor felt I could have accomplished a degree in the sciences, without having been at Western. I feel a need to give back to Western and to help those like me have the opportunity to find that passion and to have as much joy out of their career as I have had.
It’s important to help students because I want them to have the same experiences and opportunities that I had. I’m helping them by supporting the Foundation which supports Western students by doing everything from giving individuals scholarships to providing buildings which all can use.”
I’ve tried to be active at Western in participating in a couple of Boards as well as to have a summer intern when the opportunity is there.”

Mark Stewart (’79) Senior Account Manager, Schlumberger Technology Corporation “I was a hungry learner in college. Having a liberal arts education was very enjoyable for me thanks to exposure in a wide variety of subjects. As a Geology major, with a Business minor, I would put my education up to any major university in the United States. Having worked with many smart and highly educated people in our industry I can honestly say that Western more than prepared me for the rigorous demands of the petroleum industry.

“At Western, I was a student from an urban California environment who embraced the small college setting, individual attention and the ability to be involved in university community. I was involved with student government, KWSB and the ‘Top O’ the World.’ I believe it’s important for other students to have the same opportunity. My priority is to connect urban students with the Western campus.”
As a result of my education at Western, I feel both gratitude and loyalty to the University. Through financial donations, I can partially give back to the University and subsequently give the students a place they can both be proud of and enjoy.”

Matt Tredway (’83) Former Math and Science Instructor, Currently Self Employed “I was a young freshman from a small high school. I toured CSU and CU prior to deciding on Western. The small class sizes and excellent staff made it an easy choice. I think there are many students like myself that feel swallowed up by an enormous auditorium full of students. In addition, the fact that a person is being instructed by a professor and not a teaching assistant makes all the difference. Western has the perfect environment, both inside and outside the classroom, to create a meaningful experience. By serving on the Foundation Board, I can have a voice that will be heard regarding the direction that Western takes. Individuals on the Board can infuse their particular passion, and help create programs that benefit students. I have done this by starting, what we hope to be, an annual trek to Nepal for Western students and staff. We are the Mountaineers after all.”
“I originally selected Western because I wanted to major in Accounting and the Accounting Department had a good reputation. It was also affordable and that was very important to me as I was going to be paying my own way. It was my original intent to complete the first year at Western and then consider a transfer to a large business school. During that first year, however, I realized the personal attention and direction I was receiving in structuring my classes and developing my study habits would not be possible at a larger institution. I was learning all the basics and enjoying my classes and professors. Due to the small class sizes and devoted professors, I continued to receive personal direction throughout my time at Western and it was invaluable. The educational foundation I received at Western provided me with structure, tools and confidence to successfully achieve my goals.
Over the years, I have been proud to financially support the Foundation in achieving its goals. In particular, my financial support of the Borick Business Building has helped to provide current students with a learning environment that enables them to maximize their potential.”

“Jim and I always felt it was important to support Western students. This year in addition to cash donations I learned that the Foundation could also accept non-cash gifts, such as jewelry, which was just another opportunity to support our students.”
A strong advocate of education and champion of supporting the aspirations of future women educators, the scholarship will provide much needed aid with a focus on first-generation students to attend a college or university.
In addition to their gift of $500,000 in 2007, Carol continues to demonstrate the special place Western has in her heart. Her generous actions to see Western receive 30% of her estate will impact and shape the lives of future generations of Western students.
The Haefelis’ efforts will provide for an annual scholarship now, and an estimated $25,000 each year through their estate gift to help many future generations of Western students.
estern is once again honored by the support of Carol and her late husband, Jim Greenlee (‘67). Jim passed away in the spring of 2007 and this inspiring couple provided a portion of their estate to support the Borick Business Building and fund the Jim and Carol Greenlee Business Scholarship.
30 Heritage Societ y
Benefiting from her generosity will be the University Center with a designated gift of $200,000; the Borick Business Building receiving $250,000; the President’s Club receiving $25,000 and providing $25,000 to the Jim and Carol Greenlee Business Scholarship. And as one more indication of Carol’s desire to give back, she will be leaving two non-cash gifts in jewelry. The rings, valued in excess of an estimated $25,000, are just another example of how our donors can provide to our goals of improving a remarkable learning environment in Gunnison. In an article from 2007 honoring Jim’s passing and gift to Western, Carol provided us with a quote and we felt compelled to repeat it here again.

elia Haefeli is from our 1985 class of graduates and with her husband, John, is establishing the Delia Fay Haefeli Scholarship in K-12 Teacher Education. The generosity of the Haefelis will ensure a legacy of future educators from Western and the students that hail from Colorado’s Western Slope.
“My time at Western was very special and important to me. It helped me develop as a person, educator, plus gain valuable worldly experiences. The people I encountered caused thought, supported my needs, and challenged me to become better,” says Delia. “Without my time at Western I would not be the educator, community activist, or person I currently am. Due to Western’s impact I believe that it is my responsibility to pay forward the rewards I reaped in the form of a scholarship for future educators. I look forward to following the careers of the educators I assist.” Delia F. Haefeli is a Colorado native who graduated from West Grand High School in Kremmling, Colorado. She graduated from Western in 1985 with a B.A. in Elementary Education. Delia received her Master’s degree in Special Education in 1991 from the University of Northern Colorado. She was the first person in her family to attend and graduate from college. Delia has taught elementary and middle school for 33 years and is an ardent Boston Red Sox fan. John and Delia were married in 1993 and have surrogate twin daughters: Nicole, who is a middle level educator and Ashley, who is a nurse at the Mayo Clinic. We thank the Haefelis for their remarkable gift that improves Western’s ability to attract and provide both the educational and life experience to launch the careers of our future teachers.

f we could go back and ask Skip Hunter to describe the keys to being successful in business and life, his response would most likely be keep it simple. Keep an eye on what is important, stay humble and work hard. The Western Nation lost Skip in 2013, who was preceded in death by his wife, Virginia. In honor of Skip, his family and friends have taken steps to make sure Skip’s presence will be felt in supporting other hardworking students that choose to pursue an education at Western. This generous scholarship will assist Western students with a preference for those who graduated from a Colorado high school and are majoring in Business, Accounting or Economics. Skip graduated in 1953 and was grateful for the skills and experience his Western education provided. He would be thrilled that his efforts over the years will now benefit other like-minded hardworking students pursuing degrees at Western. Over the years Skip was quick to share a few words about being successful:
“I don’t give up easily.” We would like to pass on one bit of advice Skip would be providing if he was here to current and future Western students:
“Don’t give up; keep working towards your goal.”

r. Tim Wawrzyniec, Adjunct Professor at Western and former Moncrief Chair in Petroleum Geology, passed away on Thursday, November 6th, 2014 after a valiant two and a half year battle with brain cancer.
Tim earned his B.S. in Geology at the University of New Mexico. He continued his education obtaining his M.S. degree in Geology and Earth Science at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Tim went on to earn his Ph.D. at the University of New Mexico. A Geologist with Antero Resources since May, 2014, Tim also served as a Co-Science Editor for the Geological Society of America – Geosphere. Tim has been involved with the Geological Society of America, American Geophysical Union, American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists, American Institute of Professional Geologists and New Mexico Geological Society. “The first time I met Tim Wawrzyniec, he made me laugh with his droll correction of my Polish pronunciation, and I knew I found a colorful colleague,” said Jim Coogan, Rady Chair in Petroleum Geology. “In the years that followed, I enjoyed and learned from Tim’s many tales of work in the Rockies, Switzerland, Mexico, Iraq, and more exotic parts of Texas. Walking into Tim’s office was an immersion in his life, with Wisconsin, Green Bay Packers, and Big Lebowski memorabilia, and many photos of adventures with his wife, Amy. He brought a combination of academic excellence and real-world experience to the classroom, which is evident in recent notes from his students to express their gratitude for Tim’s role in networking them to the right graduate program or to their first job.”
