From the President
2014-15 Facts and Figures
As I write this letter I am very new to campus, but I
already know that leaving Shepherd will be hard. I am
here as the interim president until the next permanent
president arrives, a period that may last anywhere from
five to 11 months. For me it will have been an enormous
privilege to engage the university in this way. Shepherd
is a fine university that gets better all the time. You are
contributors to that progress, making us proud of your
help and helping us create more things to be proud of.

I can see what must attract you to Shepherd. A pretty
campus in a beautiful part of the country. A public
liberal arts college but a university that understands and
values professional preparation. Solid academic values
combined with winning athletic teams. A real spirit of
place. And above all, students—students whose hopes
and dreams and accomplishments make everything we
do here worthwhile.
Undergraduate Degrees Offered:
Sylvia Manning
Among the highlights of the past year, we welcomed our first cohort of students in the Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.)
program with a full complement of 15; we inaugurated an accelerated M.B.A. program; and Amy Garzon Hampton, clinical
instructor in social work, became a Fulbright scholar. On the challenging side, SU has considerable resource needs that are
not met, nor are likely to be met in the near future, by the state. Your support matters enormously as we move toward greater
self-sufficiency while continuing to fulfill our mission of service.
Thank you.

and perception of leadership toward diversity.
Shepherd named to top 30 affordable schools
for outdoor enthusiasts list
Shepherd University was selected by the website Affordable Schools as one of the country’s top 30 most
affordable schools for outdoor enthusiasts. Affordable
Schools created the list by first determining which colleges have the lowest tuition and fee costs according
to sources including the National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. News and World Report, CollegeStats.org, and the colleges’ own websites. In addition,
Affordable Colleges looked at how close the colleges
are to places where outdoor activities occur and at the
outdoor-focused clubs offered on campus.
Business programs accredited by IACBE
Two of Shepherd’s business programs received accreditation from the International Assembly for Collegiate
Business Education (IACBE). Shepherd is one of four
colleges in West Virginia with IACBE-accredited programs. The bachelor of science in business administration, first accredited in 2004, had its accreditation
renewed. IACBE accredited the M.B.A. with concentrations in accounting and health administration for
the first time.

The Department of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Sport received accreditation in November
2014 from the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) Council on Accreditation of Parks, Recreation, Tourism and Related Professions (COAPRT)
for its recreation and leisure program, making it the
only program in the state of West Virginia to hold the
accreditation.
Shepherd named a College of Distinction
Shepherd University was honored as a College of Distinction for the 2014-15 school year. The College of
Distinction designation is given to select schools to
honor their excellence in student-focused higher education. Schools selected must excel in the four distinctions: engaged students, great teaching, vibrant communities, and successful outcomes.

The Shepherd University Alumni Association proudly
honored Elizabeth “Betty” Lowe ’52 during the 2014-15

Lowe Ramsburg Scholarship for West Virginia nursing
students and the Elizabeth S. Lowe Scholarship for juniors and seniors studying historic preservation or history through the Shepherd University Foundation, and
the John D. Lowe Scholarship for secondary education
majors through the Shepherdstown High School Alumni
Association. Lowe, who received an honorary doctorate

and consumer sciences program celebrated 100 years.
Ram Band alumni also returned to campus on Homecoming weekend to celebrate the dedication of a new
music classroom in the Frank Center and to participate

in their first-ever reunion.
Alumni return for Professional Connections Day
More than a dozen alumni returned to campus in April
2015 for Professional Connections Day. Founded by the
Shepherd University Alumni Association, the event
has grown over the years into a partnership between the
SUAA, School of Business and Social Sciences, and Career Services. The keynote speaker was Jessica Polidor

Left: Dr. Keith Alexander, assistant professor of history, will receive fur ther financial suppor t
for the Shepherdstown Oral History Project through the Paul and Lisa Welch Endowment.
The two-year long endeavor is par t of Shepherd’s historic preservation and public history
program led by Alexander, who is pictured at Shepherd’s historic Yellow House. Also known
as the Entler-Weltzheimer House, the structure is currently undergoing renovation as par t
of the same program and may one day serve as a learning lab for historic preservation
students.
Previously, members of the Phi Sigma Chi sorority, which conducted meetings in the
house from the 1940s through 1960, contributed $4,000 to pay for the design and installation of a new iron railing in front of the house. That effor t was led by Betty Lowe ’52, president of the Phi Sigma Chi alumnae and member of the Shepherd University Foundation
board of directors. In April 2015, Shepherd was honored with a preservation award by the
Historic Shepherdstown Commission for its Yellow House restoration effor ts.

Right: Faculty, staff, students, and community members gathered in April 2015 at the Center for Contemporary Ar ts II as the sculpture studio was named in honor of Dow Benedict,
professor of ar t and dean of the School of Ar ts and Humanities. The occasion also marked
a celebration of Benedict’s 44 years teaching at Shepherd. According to Dr. Christopher
Ames, vice president for academic affairs, Benedict regularly encourages students and faculty to get out and experience ar t and humanities in our living world. As a result, Benedict
can often be found suppor ting Scarborough Society programs and other Foundationsponsored events on campus throughout the year. He is pictured here with Rhonda Smith,
chair of the Depar tment of the Contemporar y Ar t and Theater and a frequent contributor
to the Scarborough Ar t and Lecture Series’ Annual Faculty Ar t Show.

Corporate and Organization Donors
Above: Shepherd University was honored to receive a
$5,000 gift donation from regional wholesale electrical
distributor Scott Electric. The company was founded more
than 60 years ago by World War II veteran Sam Scott, who
chose to give it to his employees upon his own retirement.
They in turn created a nonprofit foundation with the intent
to make gifts to hospitals and universities within Scott
Electric territories.
“[Mr. Scott] has never been a man concerned with
material wealth,” said eastern territory manager Edward
Garofalo. “His lack of spending on himself really secured the
future of Scott Electric. And we decided to pay it forward.”
Monica Lingenfelter, executive vice president of the
Shepherd University Foundation, accepted the generous
unrestricted gift on behalf of the university.

Photo cour tesy Sydney Pringle
Right: Though Dr. William “Bill” Pringle’s path to higher education was, by his own admission, somewhat winding, it began
and ended at Shepherd University. After graduating from Charles Town High School in 1952 and ser ving as a U.S. Marine
Corps sergeant in Korea for three years, the Summit Point native attended Shepherd for several years before transferring
elsewhere to complete his studies.
He attended dental school at West Virginia University and graduated from Temple University School of Dentistr y for
Or thodontics before opening a dental practice with five satellite offices in nor th central West Virginia, where he remained
from 1967 through his retirement in 1992. Bill returned to Shepherd two decades later, following a post-retirement career
as a ski instructor in Breckenridge, Colorado, and graduated in 2012 with a Regents bachelor of ar ts (R.B.A.) degree.
Along the way, he established the Dr. Bill Pringle Scholarship in appreciation of his own Shepherd education. The award is
designated for Shepherd students majoring in science. Dr. Bill Pringle ’12 passed away on January 8, 2015 at his residence in
Bridgepor t surrounded by family.

President’s Report and Honor Roll of Donors 2014-15

Left: In addition to her many accomplishments as president of Shepherd University for the past eight years, Suzanne
Shipley also left an impressive philanthropic legacy. It began in 2007 with the Create the Future Endowment, which she
established with her husband, Randy Wadswor th, in suppor t of students studying abroad. Additionally, each year a por tion
of the endowment’s interest is allocated for expenses incurred by faculty conducting research overseas. Having both been
privileged to travel abroad during their college years, the couple created the scholarship knowing what a remarkable learning experience travel can offer.
In 2014 Shipley and her brother, Wes Shipley, established the Mary Jane Shipley Scholarship in honor of their mother
on her 90th bir thday. Suppor ting female athletes par ticipating on intercollegiate spor ts teams, the award reflects Mary
Jane Shipley’s love of tennis, through which she was able to express her competitive nature. Dr. Shipley has always felt her
mother’s work on the cour t demonstrated how practice and persistence can turn into results.
Mar y Jane Shipley herself took an active role in establishing the Shipley legacy at Shepherd when she created the Walker
Hor ton Shipley Music Scholarship in memor y of her late husband, who was always happiest listening to or playing music.
Accordingly, the scholarship suppor ts students pursuing studies in the area of music.
Dr. Shipley is pictured at a 2014 football game with her namesake, Zan, the Shepherd ram mascot.

Left: Senior Charles (Chuck) Gaines, of
Washington, D.C., is a recreation and
leisure studies major and recipient of the
Rober t L. and Jean M. Rissler Scholarship,
established in 1987 by Rober t Rissler ’47
in memor y of his late wife, Jean Rissler ’49.
Originally established in Jean’s name only,
Rober t later changed the name of the
award to reflect the couple’s mutual desire
to leave their entire estate to Shepherd.
While the scholarship financially assisted
numerous Shepherd students during the
last 15 years of Rober t’s life, it was not
until his passing in 2002 that the full scope
of Rober t and Jean’s generosity came to
fruition. Since that time, approximately
30 students per year benefit from awards
funded through the Rober t and Jean Melvin
Rissler Scholarship. As one such student,
Chuck Gaines is grateful for their generosity. “This scholarship is the reason I am
able to fur ther my education following a
financial crisis,” he said. “If it’s not hard, then
it’s not wor th it.”

Left: As a first-year student at Shepherd in 2014, Michael
Grant, of Harpers Ferry, was the recipient of three privately
funded scholarship awards, each of which benefits multiple
students. Ever y year, awards funded through the James and
Katherine Moler Scholarship and the United National Bank
Scholarship assist numerous deserving Shepherd students.
Additionally, during the 2014-2105 academic year,
Michael was one of 20 students to receive the First in Your
Family Scholarship, which resulted from a 10-year initiative
developed in 2000. The multifaceted program sought to assist regional high school students from low-income families
through college preparator y sessions, work site visits, and
incentive-based scholarships. When the program ended
in 2010, donors Tom and Dee Taylor, of Harpers Ferr y,
chose to give the remaining funds to Shepherd as a way of
saying thank you to the university for providing space and
volunteers for the First in Your Family college preparatory
sessions. For Michael, the three scholarships offered him a
chance to chase his goals, which include earning a college
degree.

Carrie is appreciative of her scholarship awards, saying,

Statement of Financial Position
Founding Members: Women Investing in Shepherd
A women’s giving circle with a unique and extraordinary philanthropic mission
Women Investing in Shepherd (WISH) was created in 2014 to inspire, educate, and develop the
amazing potential of women’s philanthropy. WISH was formed as a philanthropic subsidiary of
Women for Shepherd University and is sponsored by
the Shepherd University Foundation. The gifts from
this women’s giving circle fund high-impact grants to
Shepherd University learning programs and the tristate nonprofit community. WISH affects positive
changes, brings new funding resources, and makes
philanthropy accessible.
Shepherd University celebrates these outstanding
women who chose to become founding members of this unique and significant philanthropic
circle. Special thanks to Mary “Peachy” Staley ’70, Liz Oates, Carolyn Fleenor ’78, and Bev
Hughes ’71 for their outstanding leadership and dedication to WISH.
