PRESCOTT COLLEGE

Message from the Vice President for Institutional Advancement

Ijoined Prescott College in 2009 andtwo years later was named VicePresident for Institutional

Advancement. During the past threeyears, I’ve had a reoccurring thoughtabout my work here that comes from anessay in The Columbian Orator publishedin 1797: “Large streams from little fountainsflow, Tall oaks from little acorns grow.”

Today, Prescott College is sowing the seeds—the acorns—thatwill mature into oaks; providers of sustainable financial resourcesfor the College into the future. It has been a year of constantadjustment to market forces to ensure expenditures and availableresources stay in balance. These decisions haven’t been easy—and the economic forecasts would indicate they aren’t over yet.But I and my fellow members of the President’s advisory groupare confident in the direction we are headed as an institution.

The past three years have been transformational for PrescottCollege. We have embraced a very aggressive building project,making student housing available for 104 students. This helpsbuild a stronger community among the students and aids admis-sions and retention initiatives, both of which are critical to thesuccess of the College.

The campus has been more defined and beautified, and park-ing lots upgraded. People now have a keener sense of PrescottCollege’s location and its contributions in the local community,not the least of which are nationally renowned exhibits at the ArtGallery at Sam Hill Warehouse.

We have added two degrees to the On-CampusUndergraduate Program (a B.F.A. and B.S.), on-campus deliveryfor a Master of Arts in Humanities with a concentration in SocialJustice and Human Rights, with a proposed M.Ed. in theworks—all of which broaden our appeal in an education marketexperts project will continue to shrink.

Also, our fundraising efforts are engaging more of our con-stituents than ever. This year we saw a 36 percent increase in thenumber of donors to the Annual Fund for Academic Excellence.We had 262 first-time donors; and another 73 increased theamount of their gift to the College.

Yes, these are acorns from which mighty oaks do grow.

Thank you to each and every one, nearly 700, who supportedPrescott College last year. If you have never given a gift to theCollege, consider making your first one this year.

Looking forward,

Marjory J. Sente

Honor Roll of Donors Fiscal year July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012We are building upon a substantial legacy of the experiential education that Prescott College has long provided. The upward

trajectory to which we aspire benefits all who have walked along our paths, while encouraging prospective students to join us.Our graduates and students, parents, faculty and staff, and our friends count on us to continue these aspirations.

The donors listed in the Honor Roll of Donors are responsible for many of the College’s accomplishments, and their gen-erosity keeps us competitive. As a result of the thoughtfulness of our donors, we will continue to be the leading institution forthe liberal arts, the environment, and social justice. Thank you for your support.

Investing in Prescott College’s Future

Recently a new donor board honoring members of theCharles Franklin Parker Legacy Society and donors whohave established endowments with the College was

unveiled, located just inside the front doors of the formerSisters of Mercy Convent that now houses administrative andfaculty offices, including those of the President and VicePresidents. At an informal celebration, we saluted these indi-viduals, couples, and families for their investment in PrescottCollege’s future.

The Charles Franklin Parker Legacy Society was named inmemory of our founding president, the late Dr. Charles

Franklin Parker. It recognizes those who have rememberedPrescott College in their estate plans through a bequest intention,a life income arrangement, and a gift of real estate, or as benefi-ciary of an IRA, insurance policy, or trust. The Society now has34 individual members, couples, or families who have namedPrescott College in their wills. Since July 1, 2011, ten peoplejoined the Legacy Society by making their estate intentionsknown to the Advancement Office.

Prescott College also has 28 endowments, with 24 solely des-ignated as scholarships for students (see pages 28 and 29). Thisyear the Hulmes Legacy Endowed Scholarship was added, bene-fitting Environmental Education undergraduates.

To date, the College has benefitted from more than $1.6 mil-lion in realized bequests. If you think that legacy gifts and endow-ments are beyond your ability to give to the College, remember

that most estate gifts require no outlay of current funds. For more information, contact Marj Sente, Vice Presidentfor Institutional Advancement, at msente@prescott.edu or(928) 350-4509.

Memorial Scholarship

Prescott College student Kelly Megan Stack passed away in 2007, justa year shy of receiving her degree in Environmental Studies. A worldtraveler and highly active outdoorswoman, Kelly liked her expedi-

tionary courses best.“Kelly had a sense of assurance and presence about her and a smile that

lit up a room. She touched many lives,” says her mother, Anna Cook.In 2009, Kelly’s family established the Kelly Megan Stack Memorial

Scholarship Fund to assist financially needy Prescott College undergraduatestudents interested in environmental sciences, natural history, and environ-mental education.

A Kelly Megan Stack Scholar, Dillon Metcalfe ’13 finished high school in

2004 and decided to take a break to examine his interests inand motivations for continuing his education. For five years herepeatedly sought employment opportunities where he had achance to share his passion for the outdoors with other people.

“Along with my love of simply being outside, I enjoy learn-ing about the environment I’m moving through,” Dillon says. “I believe that it’s possible to move toward a more sustainablerelationship with our planet. I view my time in college as anopportunity to prepare myself for a life of constructively man-aging public lands for today and the future.”

Dillon comes from a self-described “financially insecure”background, and credits his ability to continue a post-second-ary education to the scholarships he’s received.

“I want to make sure you understand how grateful I amfor this gift,” he says. “I work very hard to make sure I getthe most out of my education. I’m learning a great dealabout environmental science and adventure education –and having a lot of fun while doing it.”

A fitting legacy for the young Renaissance womanwho, according to her family, lived each day with pas-sion and love.

And the Winner Is … Asking for charitable donations during an economicdownswing presents its challenges. Many loyaldonors will give because they believe in the mis-

sion of the College and understand the operationalneeds we face on a day-to-day basis. To entice newdonors or to encourage donors to increase the level oftheir gifts, we like to sweeten the deal, so to speak, byoffering a chance to win a prize with a minimum dona-tion to the Annual Fund for Academic Excellence.

Far from the token giveaways of a calendar, addresslabels, or a t-shirt, we have offered a Kindle or KindleFire in the summer and a trip to Mexico in the winter forthe past two years, and will do so again this year.“It’s the veritable win-win-win situation,” says MarjorySente, Vice President for Institutional Advancement. “Weget a good number of people making donations, small

and large, our generous trip donors get their business’s nameout there, and each year two lucky donors receive a vacationor a Kindle product.”

Give $25 or more to the Annual Fund for AcademicExcellence now through December 31, and your name will beentered into a drawing for a weeklong vacation in PuertoEscondido, Mexico, at Casamar Suites (see ad page 36).

The Kindle Fire promotion ended in June with the mother ofalumna Jennifer Sauter ’00, Martha Sauter, walking awaywith the prize.

“I fell in love with Prescott and the College while my daugh-ter was there. The whole premise of learning is so special. Iwould have loved it as a college student,” Martha says. “Ofcourse I will continue my support, and I wish everyone at theCollege well.”
