AHistory-making giftgives golf aboost

A major donation from a long-time volunteer leader and booster ofPark University is the most recent in a series of high-fives for Parkathletics.

Virginia “Jinny” B. McCoy, an honorary member and former chairof the Park University Board of Trustees, has given $100,000 tosupport women’s golf. McCoy’s gift is the largest in Park’s history for the benefit of a single athletics program. McCoy is a foundingmember and former chairman of the Pirate Club, which cultivatesfinancial support of athletics.

“This generous gift will contribute to the continuing success of ournewest program,” said Claude English, director of athletics. “Jinnyhas played a critical role in ensuring the well-being of athletics atPark University. She has shared her time, enthusiasm and her talentswith us time and time again.”

Good on the Green and in ClassMcCoy, a former tennis instructor, hasbeen golfing for 17 years. She says sheenjoys not only the skill-buildingcomponent of the game but the socialelement as well.

She definitely picked a winner. Park’s women’s golf team captured its firstMidlands Collegiate Athletic Conferencechampionship in 2007 and in the 2009season qualified for national tournamentplay. The 2008-09 squad was named theNAIA Scholar Team of the Year. Of the837 NAIA varsity teams across the country,Park’s women’s golf team topped the listwith a combined 3.97 grade point average.

Coach of the women’s golf team is MikeMueller, teaching pro at the National GolfClub of Kansas City. This is his first season as head women’s golf coach at Park.

A Love for ParkOriginally from Ohio, JinnyMcCoy earned a bachelor’sdegree in business and publicadministration from theUniversity of Arizona. Shemoved to Kansas City andbecame a licensed stockbroker atBC Christopher & Co., whereshe worked for 10 years. She alsowas an office manager for NewMutual Life Insurance. McCoymoved to Parkville in 1989 andjoined the Board of Trustees at Park soon aftermeeting with (then) Park President Don Breckon.

McCoy served 12 years on the Park Board ofTrustees and chaired the board in 2005-06. “I’vejust fallen in love with Park,” McCoy said. “I lovethe school. I love what they do for the students.”

McCoy credits Claude English as one of those whofirst floated the idea of creating an athletics boosterclub at Park. McCoy, along with several Parkgraduates and parents, was asked to help launch the

Pirate Club, an offer she saysshe couldn’t resist.

“I love the way Park treats itsathletes — they don’t callthem athletes, they call themstudent-athletes,” McCoy said.You’re a student first and youplay sports. Schooling andeducation are very, very big inmy family.”

McCoy says she comes from afamily of givers and golfers,

but that she didn’t get the golf gene. “How come Ican hit a tennis ball 50 miles an hour, yet I can’t hitthat little ball sitting on the ground?” she jokes.

On the other hand, her family did pass onsomething else to Jinny McCoy. “From age 5 wewere doing volunteer work. You always gave back toyour community.”

Maybe the giving gene is just as important.

“That’s always been athing of my parents.From age 5 we weredoing volunteer work.You always gave backto your community.”

NLongtimeBusinessGroupEndowsScholarshipfor NursingStudents

Nearly 60 years ago, a group of civic-minded citizens in the Leedscommunity of Kansas City, Mo., formed an association to raise moneyfor a community park. Little did the group know that while the parkthey created would fall into disuse, their philanthropy wouldultimately nurture young people at a very different field of dreams —Park University.

The group known as the Leeds Businessmen’s Association was adiverse collection of men and, despite the name, women, who werecommitted to making life better for families who lived in Leeds area ofeastern Kansas City. They sponsored ballgame nights for kids on theproperty of Leeds School, but what they really wanted was a stand-alone park with more amenities.

In 1950, the group formed a legal entity, Leeds Community Park. Theyraised funds, purchased property, filled and graded the land, and installeda baseball diamond, backstop and bleachers. Businesses in Leeds andneighboring communities like Blue Valley and Sheffield sponsoredbaseball teams who battled it out on the diamond throughout the 1950sand early 1960s. It became just what the Leeds Businessmen’s Associationhad a mind — a park for the entire community.

But by 1967, Leeds Community Park stood empty. One of theremaining members of the group, Harry Offutt, who owned a tooland die company still in operation today said, “It was a culturalchange. The environment was different. Leeds had changed over to acompletely industrial area.”

Time to SellThe group sold Leeds Community Park, but Offutt betrays no hint ofsadness at the demise of the Association’s original dream. “We weremaking better use of the land,” he said.

With the revenue, the group formed a nonprofit organization andbegan assisting college and university students in the Kansas City areawith their tuition. Over the next 26 years, still identified by the nameof its original purpose, Leeds Community Park Inc. provided morethan $115,000 in grants to students.

In its heyday the Leeds Businessmen’s Associationincluded nearly 50 business owners and theirspouses — everything from a woman who ran abeauty shop in her home to the owner of anelectrical contracting company with a million-dollar payroll. In some years they met as often asonce a month. But by 2008 the group numbered inthe single digits and met sporadically.

At the age of 88 Offutt, who served as President in1988 and earlier years, describes himself as “theyoung one in the group. Our people are all oldnow.” They knew it was time to disband and thistime turned to Park University.

First-Hand ExperienceOffutt said the Association’s aging members hadsurgeries and hospital stays, which gave them first-hand experience with the need for highly-skillednursing care.

“Hospitals are understaffed and a number of thepeople working there are not qualified. We thoughtabout giving the funds to a local trade school. Butthe consensus in our group was that we need trainednurses more than we need mechanics.”

As it turns out, Offutt’s daughter-in-law had earnedher master’s degree at Park University. Anothermember of the Leeds Businessmen’s Associationalso had a family member who had attended Park.They heard good things about Park’s nursingprogram and decided to donate the Association’sremaining funds — $46,500 — to create the LeedsBusinessmen’s Endowment for Nursing Students.

Income from the Leeds Endowment will supportthe tuition of nursing students, up to $1,000annually. Recipients must be U.S. citizens from themetropolitan Kansas City area. Full-time or part-time students in good academic standing areeligible.

According to Thimios Zaharopoulos, Ph.D., interimprovost and vice president for academic affairs, nearlyall of the students in Park’s Ellen Finley EarhartNursing Program are employed full-time, mosthave families and their finances are stretched thin.

“The Leeds Endowment will have a great impacton our students. Nursing students needscholarships, probably more than any other group

of students at Park. They will still have to take outloans, but the Leeds Endowment will lessen theamount they borrow and lessen the impact oftuition costs on their families.”

A Journey TogetherFrom building a playground to improving medicalcare in the 21st century, the Leeds Businessmen’sAssociation and Leeds Community Park took amemorable journey together. Offutt still visits histool and die company every day although his sonruns the business now. Seven members attendedwhat may have been the final meeting of the groupin December 2008.

The Leeds Scholar in Nursing at Park Universitywill carry the ball into the future for the LeedsBusinessmen’s Association in ways that even theoriginal donors probably never thought possible.

Harry Offut presents a donation to Park University Development Director,Hilary Wheat.

Park nursing students receive quality instruction from top-notch educators.

ARareCollectionBy KansasCity CoupleFunds NewScholarshipIn ComputerScience

A one-of-a-kind collection of vintage automobiles may be an unusualsource of a scholarship fund, but Marvin Enochs was no ordinaryantiques collector. From the time he was a boy, Enochs was fascinatedby engines, machines and anything with wheels.

After a lifetime of collecting, Enochs sold his fleet of motorizedantiquities. Now, a few years after his and his wife’s deaths, the fundsare being used to endow a scholarship at Park University to helpstudents who are pursuing a degree in information and computerscience.

Enochs was born and raised on a farm in Laurel, Iowa. His motherbought him his first bicycle when Enochs was 14. It took only oneride to convince him that something was definitely missing — amotor. He tried attaching an old washing machine motor but finallysettled on a single cylinder upright engine that he mounted on theframe of his bike. An obsession was born.

Successful FarmersAfter World War II, Enochs moved to Brunswick, Mo., where he methis wife, Mary Elizabeth. Successful farmers, the couple raised fourchildren. In the mid-1960s, Marvin heard about a piece of propertyfor sale near Parkville in the Missouri River bottoms.

As Enochs later told Harold Breen, longtime friendand owner of Breen Development, “It was land thatneeded buying.” His original 14-acres eventuallygrew to more than 2,000. In addition to grainfarming, Enochs also had other business venturesover the years. “He was a good businessman,”Breen said.

But Enochs’ passion was collecting and restoringantique cars. His first acquisition was a 1939Cadillac 60 Special sedan. His bought several FordModel Ts and Model As, even a 1923 Model Ttruck. He owned coupes, sedans and roadsters.Arguably, his greatest oddity was a tiny car knownas a Mier, built between 1906 and 1908, whichEnochs suspected was one of only two left in theworld. Enochs also bought cars from the 1950s and1960s, including a 1956 DeSoto used as anIndianapolis 500 pace car and a 1958 Ford hardtopconvertible.

After retiring, Enochs returned to his first love andstarted collecting motorcycles — more accurately,motorcycle parts. With the help of other mechanicsand restoration experts, he rebuilt them and madethem road-worthy. Among them were severalHarley-Davidson models dating from 1925 to1955.

A Starring RoleMarvin and Mary Elizabeth often drove theirrestored gems in parades in Parkville, North KansasCity and other neighboring communities. Severalof their antique cars were used in the 1996 film“Kansas City” directed by Robert Altman and set in1930s-era Kansas City.

In 2002, by then in their mid-80s and with failinghealth, the couple decided it was time to put theirprized collection on the auction block. Accordingto a story in The Kansas City Star, the auctionconsisted of 40 classic cars, 32 antique motorcyclesand “a trailer load of unusual parts.” At the age of83, Marvin polished up his collection and watchedit go. “Marvin was hoping a museum would buythe entire collection, but that didn’t happen,” Breensaid. The cars, bikes and related mechanicalmiscellany netted about $600,000 for the couple.

Those funds, along with the sale of their land, werethen used to establish a charitable trust fund.Marvin died in 2005 and Mary Elizabeth passed

away 13 months later. Trustees of the fund includedBreen, a close friend of the Enochs’.

A Historic FamilyThe Breen family has long been involved in theParkville community and Park University. DuringPark’s early days, Breen’s grandfather, CharlesPatrick Breen, was building superintendent for 25years and oversaw the construction of severalbuildings, including historic Mackay Hall. HowardBreen served two terms as a Park trustee and is anhonorary lifetime trustee.

Breen and other trustees decided that a scholarshipfund at Park University would be a fitting tribute tothe Enochs’. “Parkville meant a lot to them,” saidBreen. Recipients of the Marvin and MaryElizabeth Enochs Scholarship Fund are full-time orpart-time students enrolled in Park’s informationand computer science program, have a cumulativegrade point average of 2.9 or higher and ademonstrated financial need.

Looking Back and to the FutureIn a sentimental look back at his lifelong hobby,Enochs wrote an essay called “Iowa Farm Boy LovesMotorcycles” for a book published in 2004 by theAntique Motorcycle Club of America. Carefullyrecounting nearly every motorcycle he ever owned,Enochs wrote wistfully of the decision to sell themall. “It gave me as much joy to know that otherowners might enjoy the motorcycles as much as Idid.”

The longtime Kansas City area residents and avidcollectors would be heartened to know that thecollection of rolling treasures would somedaybenefit students who will tinker in a whole newworld of technology.

By staying current with the rapid pace of computer technologydevelopment, Park’s information and computer science programconsistently produces highly marketable graduates.

WBrischScholarshipMemorializesHigherEducationLeader andPark Grad

When 17-year-old Hans Brisch, ’64, Ph.D., immigrated to the UnitedStates in 1957, he had little money and few clothes — not even a highschool education. His only goal was to find a good job, which provedimpossible. But his life was about to change.

Intelligent and determined, Brisch eventually carved out adistinguished career in academia, higher education leadership andpublic policy. But what made the doors of opportunity open for himin the first place was something he never forgot — a scholarship toPark University. In fact, the scholarship launched Brisch on atrajectory of success that would continue for the rest of his life.

To memorialize her husband, who died in 2006, and in recognition ofthe crucial role played by the scholarship he received, MargaretGatton Brisch, ’63, Ph.D., created the Hans Brisch EndowedScholarship at Park University. The first awards were given in 2007-08to a group that reflects America’s growing diversity:

• Amiran Gelashvili, an international business and finance major originally from Telavi, Republic of Georgia. He is a junior with an overall 4.041 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale). Gelashvili is originally from Telavi, Republic of Georgia.

• Renee Heagy, an elementary education major with a social science concentration from Gladstone, Mo. She is a senior with an overall 3.93 GPA.

• Tewfit Mulatu, a May 2008 graduate in business administration/ marketing originally from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She graduated cum laude with a 3.57 GPA.

The Early Life of Hans BrischLife in post-World War II Germany offered few opportunities formany young people, including Brisch. He left his hometown ofKaiserslautern in 1957 and settled in Kansas City, Mo., sponsored bythe husband of his sister, Gisela, who had immigrated earlier. He soonrealized that without a high school diploma, a good-paying job wasout of the question. He found work as a dishwasher and enrolled as afirst-year student at East High School.

“He was a 17-year-old among 14-year-olds,”Margaret Brisch said. “It was very awkward forHans. And his heavy German clothes were allwrong for the humid weather in Kansas City.”

The resourceful Brisch alsojoined ROTC. “Every day, theflag was raised by a member ofROTC who was allowed towear his uniform,” Margaretsaid. “Hans volunteered toraise the flag as often aspossible because the uniformwas the best thing he had towear.”

Brisch gravitated to math andscience courses where he metphysics teacher John Layman, ’55, Ph.D. Laymansaw promise in his student and urged Brisch toattend college, helping him apply to Park University.Brisch was accepted and worked his way through,thanks to scholarships and work-study positions.

“That’s how he got his start,” Margaret said. “It wassuch a boost of confidence for him. That’s exactlywhy I wanted to create the scholarship for studentsat Park — to help others in the way that Hans washelped.”

A People MagnetMargaret Brisch hailed from a small town insouthwest Missouri and met her future husband inan English class at Park. She laughs that her parentswanted her to attend Park so that an older sister,already at Park, could look out for her.

“They wanted me to be safe from the world, but Iended up meeting a young man from Germany,”she said. “He had impeccable European mannersand was always a people magnet.”

Hans and Margaret married before the start of theirjunior year. They earned bachelor’s degrees inpolitical science and music, respectively. In 1964,the year of his graduation, Hans completed hisembrace of a new life by becoming a U.S. citizen.

Hans went on to graduate school, earning amaster’s degree and doctorate in Soviet area studiesand public affairs. Margaret completed a master’sdegree in education and worked as an elementaryschool teacher. She also earned a Ph.D. in

administration, curriculum and instruction fromthe University of Nebraska. The couple raised threechildren.

Hans’ career included teachingand research positions at theUniversity of Kansas, theUniversity of Alabama, theUniversity of Nebraska andNebraska Wesleyan University.He also held top highereducation posts in Illinois andNebraska, including stints asan academic officer and specialassistant to the president at theUniversity of Nebraska. Healso served one-and-a-halfyears as chief of staff for the

governor of Nebraska, overseeing statewideplanning and policy activities. From 1987 to 2003,he was chief executive officer of the OklahomaState System of Higher Education.

A ChampionMargaret Brisch described her late husband as achampion of higher education and student success.“He was always pushing to increase access tocollege.” He worked to create the OklahomaHigher Learning Access Project, a scholarshipprogram for low-income students in Oklahoma tocover their tuition at any college or university in thestate. Another scholarship program for high-achieving students in Oklahoma was named in hishonor and continues to this day.

But Brisch never forgot Park. He served aspresident of the Park University AlumniAssociation and was named “DistinguishedAlumnus” in 1989. Park awarded him an honorarydoctorate in 2001. He passed away in 2006.

The Hans Brisch Endowed Scholarship supportsthe tuition costs of students pursuing any academicprogram at the undergraduate level. Recipientsmust be full-time students with at least a 3.25 grade point average and a demonstrated need forfinancial assistance. These recipients carry on thelegacy of Hans Brisch, a young man from Germany who arrived in America with fewpossessions, but a wealth of potential, realized byhis own achievements and those of the scholarswho bear his name.

“He was alwayspushing to

increase accessto college.”

IGiving backto ParkUniversityhas becomea traditionin theSchoggenfamily

It’s a tradition steeped in the fond memories that brothers Phil and JoeSchoggen — and their wives Maxine and Charlene, respectively — haveof Park during the 1940s, when classmates ate together as families,students had to work on campus, tuition was about $300 a year, andhundreds of sailors roamed the college grounds.

This tradition of giving — more than $20,000 between the couples — isalso based on an appreciation of the affordable and excellent educationthe Schoggen’s say they received at Park.

And let’s not forget the couples’ college courtships that have sinceblossomed into 65-year marriages.

“Going to Park was a great experience,” says Phil Schoggen, whograduated in 1946 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. “We appreciateit very much on a daily basis.”

His wife, the former Maxine “Dikkie” Spoor, echoes that enthusiasm.“For me, going to Park opened the world,” says the 1946 graduate, whohas a bachelor’s degree in psychology. “That’s what Park symbolizes tome, it just opened the world…I had a wonderful time at Park.”

To show their gratitude to the University, these Nashville, Tenn., researchpsychologists recently set up a $10,000 charitable annuity that willbenefit Park when the couple dies.

“We love the college and want to see it flourish,” says Phil, who alsoearned a master’s degree and doctorate in psychology from the Universityof Kansas. “I’m sure there’s a mixed motivation for us in doing this, too.There’s the notion that this was a safe investment and guaranteed incomefor the rest of our lives.

“But we think kindly of Park University and we want to support it.”

Contributions to Park from the Schoggen family don’t stop there,however. Over the years, Joe and Charlene Schoggen, both ’43, havedonated more than $10,000 to the University. Those monies helpedrenovate the Science Hall and went into the annual fund. The Arizonacouple says the donations are a small token of their appreciation foreverything Park has done for them and students around the world.

“We’ve been impressed with thechanges made at Park toward theobjective of making qualityeducation available to people who otherwise would not be able to get it because of theirmilitary service,” says Joe, a retired two-star Navy admiral.“We think the University’sextended learning programs, with units all over the world, are a very commendable initiative and worth contributing to.”

Park’s high academic standardsand required student workprogram, Joe says, set thefoundation for his success inbusiness and the Navy.

“Park taught me how to get along with people andhow to work with people to get things done,” says theretired president of the Navy Federal Credit Union,the largest credit union in the world. “Not onlybecause of the family work program, but the wholecampus life contributed to that.”

Park’s tough classes, Joe says, prepared him for theacademic challenges he faced outside Mackay Hall.“The proof is when I went to the University ofMinnesota (for a master’s degree in economics),” saysJoe, who earned a bachelor’s degree in economics atPark. “I found I was able to cope with my money andbanking classes that were taught by guys who hadbeen on the Federal Reserve Board. I don’t think Icould have done that without the solid background Ireceived at Park.”

Joe credits Park for giving him an even more pricelessgift — his bride of 65 years, the former CharleneSchwenk. “We were married at Harvard Chapel inBoston in 1944 and have enjoyed our lives togetherimmensely.”

His wife shares those sentiments. “That’s the bestthing of all about Park,” says Charlene, who has abachelor’s degree in sociology. “That we got together,got married and we’re happy. We’ve been all over theworld…it’s been a great life.”

Back in Tennessee, Phil and Dikkie recalled similartreasured moments from their days at Park. Thesummer of 1943 tops Dikkie’s list. That’s the summer

the Navy sent 500 sailors to Park, which served as anavel cadet training center during World War II.Dikkie happened to be one of only 15 women oncampus at that time.

“We worked very hard from 6 a.m. to midnight justto keep things going because we didn’t have enoughequipment to handle 500 sailors,” says Dikkie, whoalso helped the sailors with their science classes. “I hada big job on my hands, but I loved it.”

For Navy man Phil, nothing compares to the momenthe first saw Dikkie on campus. “My brother and Iwere assigned the job of welcoming new students andhelping them with their luggage. As it happened,Dikkie fell to my bother, Joe, who wound up walkingher to her dorm.

“When I tell my children that story,” he muses, “theysay, ’Daddy, why didn’t you walk mom to her dorminstead of Uncle Joe.’”

Phil eventually won the heart of Dikkie — anaccomplished songwriter — and the couple wasmarried in 1944 at the Church of the Transfigurationin New York

“I wonder how many other siblings met their wives atPark and have stayed together for 65 years?” he asks.“I’d say that’s pretty admirable.”

Just as admirable are the invaluable contributions theSchoggen family has made to the University.

Left to right: Joe, Charlene, Maxine (Dikkie) and Phil Schoggen.

Joe hopes other alums will join his family’s tradition of giving back to Park. “We think it’svery worthwhile and all alums out there should consider doing what they can.”

His brother agrees. “We’d like to see other alums share our enthusiasm and express theirappreciation to Park,” Phil says. “To everyone out there, we’d just like to say: “Right on,Park University!”

YPhil Wheelercan’t hidehis passionfor ParkUniversity.

You can hear the fervor in his voice when he talks about his almamater and how “it’s more than just a beautiful place on the hill.”

There are also signs of his dedication to Park throughout the ParkvilleCampus and beyond its hallowed halls.

Since he graduated in 1962 with bachelor degrees in political scienceand business administration, Wheeler has:

• Twice served on the Board of Trustees. His current term expires in 2011.

• Spearheaded efforts to raise endowment funds for the Hauptmann School for Public Affairs. The graduate school is named in honor of Jerzy Hauptmann, Ph.D., Park’s legendary professor emeritus of political science and public administration. Hauptmann, who taught at Park for more than 50 years, died January, 29, 2008.

• Donated to its coffers.

• Served as Park’s first planned-giving officer.

• Held alumni gatherings in his home.

“I want to see Park become successful,” Wheeler says. “I want to see itbecome the best it can be.”

Park, he says, helped him become the best he could be in his personaland professional life.

Wheeler met his wife, the former Carol Groundwater, on the ParkvilleCampus. Wheeler considers “falling in love with Carol” — a 1962graduate with a bachelor’s degree in political science — the first life-changing event that happened to him at Park.

The second life-changing event for this Tucson, Ariz., alum was takingclasses from Hauptmann.

“I learned so much from Jerzy,” says Wheeler, who never lost touchwith his mentor. “Jerzy stressed the importance of thinking. Iremember him challenging people in class. He would make them

14

think about why they had the positions they didand he’d tell them that just because their parentshad those views, it was not a good answer.”

Hauptmann also gave Wheeler another invaluablegift — the encouragement to pursue his graduatestudies at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y.

“Jerzy led me to Cornell, which led me to GeneralFoods,” says Wheeler, who spent more than 25years as a marketing executive with the corporategiant. “I would not have gotten into General Foodsif I went there from Park,but I did because I wentthere from Cornell.

“If you talk about life-changing events, other thanfalling in love with Caroland marrying her, it wouldbe Jerzy pointing me east toCornell.”

Wheeler creditsHauptmann’s tough classes— and Park’s overall highacademic standards — forhis success in business.

“The liberal arts educationteaches you how to thinkand how to make goodjudgments,” says Wheeler,valedictorian of his class.“And that’s what I wentback on during my career.”

Those are lessons Wheelerhopes other students havethe opportunity to learn atPark. That’s why hecontinues to champion the University and advocateits success.

Whether he’s talking about the school’s increasedenrollment — up more than five percent this pastyear — or its international student body thatrepresents 120 countries, Wheeler’s enthusiasm forPark is infectious.

“There’s a lot more to Park these days thanMackay….that beautiful building…sitting on ahill.”

Wheeler, however, understands that Park still facesmany challenges. One of those, he says, is raisingmoney for an “endowed professor” at theHauptmann School for Public Affairs — someoneto take the institution to the next level. Someone,he says, of Hauptmann’s caliber.

“But to get a person like that, you have to pay morethan the market rate. We want to raise enoughmoney so the school will ultimately be able to pay(a top-notch professor) a stipend and then theendowment fund will make up the difference.”

Another challenge Parkfaces is improving itscommunication efforts.“We need to get the wordout about Park,” saysWheeler, who is nowproviding his extensivemarketing and businessexpertise to a newcommunicationscommittee.

As the University charts acourse for future, thisBoard of Trustee membervows to never let Parkforget its past.

“We used to be this workcampus where all studentshad jobs on campus,” sayWheeler, who once workedin Park’s kitchen washingdishes. “We also taughtstudents how to think andlearn and becomesuccessful.

“I think that heritage needs to be woven into ourvision for the future, whether we focus on ourpolitical science, liberal arts or online programs. Weneed to be adaptive to the needs of the nextgeneration, and that’s constantly changing.”

Park’s appreciation of Wheeler’s loyalty to theUniversity, however, will never change.

Founder’sDayCelebration

T Thanks to the great work of co-chairs Blanche and Neil Sosland,Founder’s Day 2009 was a success, netting more than $40,000 tosupport Park’s Presidential Honors Scholarship Endowment, which,when funded to its $5,000,000 ultimate goal, will provide 20 fullacademic scholarships.

Founder’s Day is a time to celebrate Park University’s history and looktoward the future. This year’s event honored three individuals, KayBarnes, founding director of Park University’s Center for Leadershipand former mayor of Kansas City, Mo.; Peter S. Levi, president of theGreater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce; and Robert J. Marcusse,president of the Kansas City Area Development Council, all of whombring Park’s mission of effective communication, entrepreneurial spiritand global service into the community.

The Soslands have had a strong relationship with Park for more than20 years and are dedicated to furthering higher education. Dr. BlancheSosland is a professor emerita of education and taught at Park until herretirement in 2003. Neil Sosland is vice president of the SoslandFamily Foundation and executive editor of Sosland Publishing Co.

Founder’s Day Reception 2009

An idea Blanche Sosland planted in a Parkclassroom nearly 15 years ago recentlycame to fruition with the publication ofBanishing Bullying Behavior: Transformingthe Culture of Pain, Rage, and Revenge(Rowman and Littlefield Education, 2009).Blanche co-authored the book withSuEllen Fried, a 1975 Park graduate.

The two connected in the late 90’s whenBlanche, an education professor at Park,invited SuEllen, a renowned bullyingexpert, to speak to her classes. Blanchehad read and admired SuEllen’s first bookon bullying and, although it was not writtenas a text, used it successfully in herclassroom.

A lifelong educator, Blanche was all tooaware of the growing problem of bullying.She had spent most of her teaching careerat the college and university level, but shealso worked in classrooms ranging fromearly childhood to middle school — theage at which bullying peaks.

After hearing SuEllen speak about the“schoolyard battlefield” and the painbullying causes, a light bulb went off inBlanche’s head. It became clear there wasa need for a book — a different book —about bullying aimed directly at students,like hers at Park, who were preparing tobecome teachers.

Blanche approached SuEllen with the ideaand the rest is history. “We decided toadapt SuEllen’s material and expand on itto create a text other professors could usein their classrooms,” Blanche said.

The two authors brought a uniquecombination of experience to the table.Blanche had been teaching andsupporting students for years at Park.

SuEllen had been deeply involved in theprevention of child abuse since 1976. Bothdrew from their hands-on interactions witheducators, parents and students.

After the initial meeting with the publisher,they broadened their original plan. “Heencouraged us to write the book as a textfor teachers, but also for use by others,including administrators, counselors,principals, school nurses, directors ofmultimedia centers, school secretaries,nurses, policy makers, parents andmembers of the community at large,”Blanche said.

The co-authors went to work researchingand writing. One year later, they put thefinishing touches on their practical guideto changing the culture and banishingbullying behavior.

Blanche, who retired from Parkin 2003, plans to write twomore books on bullying in thebusiness world and twiceexceptional children.However, she considers thebook she conceived in aPark classroom — and co-wrote with a Park alumni— her legacy. “My hope isthat my successors atPark read and use thisbook in their classes,”she said.

WWireCoWorldGroupMakes$15,000Commitmentto Park’sBusinessSchoolSummerAcademy

WireCo WorldGroup, formerly Wire Rope Corporation of America,recently made a gift of $15,000 to support Park’s Business SchoolSummer Academy. WireCo WorldGroup was originally founded in1931 by J.P.
