The original dedication of Seminary Hall was held 125 years earlier on May 7, 1889. The “lamp of learning ignited in the wilderness” by the Cherokee Nation in 1851, when the first Seminary for females opened on May 7 in Park Hill, continues to burn brightly at NSU in 2014. As the Chief of the Cherokee Nation, Bill John Baker, said during the 125th Anniversary Celebration, Seminary Hall unites the university, the City of Tahlequah, and the Cherokee Nation. It also reminds us that so many have given through the decades in support of quality education. To commemorate the 125th Anniversary we created the Light The Way Scholarship Fund and established a base goal of raising $125,000. The funds will be used to help students who find themselves in a financial crisis that could not have been anticipated or avoided. I am pleased to report that because many of you gave at least $1,000, the goal was met and the fund is endowed. An application and review process is being developed and funds will be available for the fall semester. I want to personally say thank you to each of you who gave. Your contribution will be life-changing for our students. There is still time to give to the Light The Way Fund and in fact, additional resources would enable us to help meet the needs of more students. Over the past three years we have learned through exit interviews that the number one reason students leave NSU is due to a financial crisis. These are students who have met the admissions requirements and are making the grades to stay enrolled. The Light The Way Scholarship Fund is also the start of our next major fundraising campaign. Peggy Glenn and I have spent the past 15 months visiting with all the academic colleges and the campus-at-large to determine the real needs of our competent faculty and staff. From these meetings we have identified four major categories: Student Scholarship; Equipment and Technology; Endowed Chairs and Professorships; and Bricks and Mortar. The campus community made it clear that the biggest single need at Northeastern State University is to significantly increase the number of student scholarships. We have selected a consultant to help us conduct a feasibility study related to the Light The Way Campaign. It is anticipated that the study will take approximately five months to complete. We will be contacting many of you in the months ahead to get your views as we determine the scope of the campaign. I hope you will participate fully during the fact-finding portion of the campaign. Many of you are President’s Circle donors which means you give at least $1,000 per year to support NSU. Thank you! We know that the growth in the NSU Foundation’s assets to more than $20 million as of mid-2014 — a record high — would not be possible without you. Still, we must enhance the culture of philanthropy to meet the ever increasing needs in the years ahead. State Appropriations are appreciated but we cannot expect them to fund all our student needs. We need you to help us. Sincerely, Dr. Steve Turner, President www.nsugiving.com | 918-458-2143 | 812 N.

A Message From the Executive Director • NSU continues to make headway toward the goals set forth in “Destination 2023: A 10-year road map of distinction through degree completion,” including a plan to increase our annual number of degrees awarded to a minimum of 2,477 per year, up from the baseline of 1,787 degrees conferred in 2011. Milestones. They can mark the distance to a particular place, as did the actual stones from which the word originated, or they can mark how far we’ve come, as in anniversaries, birthdays, or graduations. Northeastern State University has some of both this year, building on its solid foundation of providing quality public higher education in northeast Oklahoma for over a century. For example, several NSU structures are celebrating significant anniversary milestones this year: • The Gene Branscum Alumni Center turned 25 years old in April. Built by NSU’s own Physical Plant employees as a gathering place for NSU alumni, the building’s secondary purpose has transitioned from lodging for university guests to offices for the NSU Foundation, NSU Alumni Association, and NSU Office of Development. • Doc Wadley Stadium will be 50 years old this coming football season, following on the heels of last year’s centennial celebration of football at NSU. • The John Vaughan Library turns 65 years old as those born the year it was built become eligible for Medicare. The structure has witnessed the creation of our Archives and Special Collections, as well as the advent of computers and digital media. • Seminary Hall celebrated its quasquicentennial (125th anniversary) in May with Victorian-era decorations and costumes, a crowd of 300 people, and representatives from the tribes, state government, student government, and our community. • Our first-ever Master Plan for all three campuses was revealed earlier this year, turning 16 months of student, employee and community input into a flexible framework for development of all three campuses. See more at http://www.nsuok.edu/masterplan/Documentation.aspx. • With your support, the NSU Foundation provided a record $724,000 in scholarships to NSU students in 2013, and by encouraging more students to apply for these scholarships, we are helping increase the number of NSU students who graduate debt-free. We hope you will join us on campus this year to celebrate another annual milestone, NSU Homecoming, on Friday and Saturday, October 24 and 25, 2014. The annual Emerald Ball, whose proceeds go to NSU scholarships, will be held the Saturday evening of Homecoming, so be sure to make your plans accordingly. And let us know if you – or other NSU alumni – are celebrating a personal milestone such as a new baby, nuptials, a significant anniversary, a new job, or a professional or community achievement. C.S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, once described a desolate road as one “without milestones, without signposts.” So help us honor the miles we’ve come as an institution of higher education, and continue to support our university and students as we map out where we’re going and how we’ll get there. And we’re posting new milestones to show how far we have to go: • In May, President Turner announced the creation of the “Light the Way Scholarship,” funded with $125,000 in private donations from many of you, to establish an endowment for students who experience an unanticipated emergency that can be overcome by a small scholarship or no-interest loan. Peggy Glenn (’90), MPP, JD Executive Director, NSU Foundation www.nsugiving.com | 918-458-2143 | 812 N. Cedar Ave. | Tahlequah, OK 74464 5 I think it is one of the best places you can put your money because you can change people’s lives with a college education. I have seen people come here from small towns and big cities who really didn’t understand what the real world was like, and that is one of the things that college can do for anybody. It changes their lives and gives them the opportunities to be a person of their full potential. James K.

Cedar Ave. | Tahlequah, OK 74464 13 14 Northeastern State University Foundation | 2013 Annual Report Ways to give Charitable Remainder Trust Your charitable remainder trust can be funded during your lifetime or through a testamentary disposition. Each provides life income for designated beneficiaries, which can include you. Life Insurance Gifts of Cash Cash is the most common form of gift that comes to the NSU Foundation. Your gift of cash, like other gifts, can be directed to any fund, specific scholarship, or program, which are listed on pages 10-13. Gifts of Securities or Real Property Contributions of stock or real estate with appreciated value are another way to lend support. When the NSU Foundation acquires your gift of appreciated stock or property, you receive a tax deduction equal to its fair market value and avoid costly capital gains tax on the increase in value. Gifts-in-Kind Your donations of software, licenses, services, vendor products, and other property also support the mission and programs of NSU. These gifts-inkind allow us to use our resources for other needs while you get a credit for your support. Contact us for guidelines and acceptance policy regarding gifts-in-kind. Charitable Gift Annuities A deferred gift, such as a charitable gift annuity, is a great way to make a significant contribution. In exchange for your gift of cash or property, the NSU Foundation guarantees you a lifetime of income. Naming the NSU Foundation as the owner and beneficiary of your life insurance policy is also an option, especially when your policy has a face amount that is much greater than the amount you can afford to give in cash. This ensures that future premium payments made by you are taxdeductible. Pay the entire policy, or make annual contributions to the NSU Foundation for the cost of premiums. Wills and Trusts The NSU Foundation can also be named as beneficiary in the wills and trusts of Northeastern alumni and friends. You can elect to leave all or part of an estate to benefit the university. The NSU Foundation Guardian Society honors individuals with outstanding discernment—a special group of visionaries who look beyond the present to the future of our university. This includes friends of Northeastern who are heroes to the students whose lives are changed through their generosity. By naming the NSU Foundation in their wills or trusts these individuals have designated all or a portion of their estate to be used for endowment or other special purposes. Honorees also include those who have arranged a charitable gift annuity with the NSU Foundation. These philanthropic donors are sharing their assets with NSU, while maintaining an economic stream for their lifetime. Other members have made the NSU Foundation a beneficiary of their life insurance or retirement plan accounts. These donors invest in the future of Northeastern, and in doing so, reaffirm their commitment to permanence. Leave a Lasting Legacy with an endowment When you establish an endowment with the NSU Foundation, you … Enable Perpetual Support Your gift toward an endowed fund creates neverending support for students, faculty, and programs. Ensure a Strong Future Your endowment is an investment in the future of Northeastern State University. As it grows, the university gains additional support. Enact a Lasting Legacy Your endowed fund is a wonderful way to pay tribute to a family member, loved one, classmate, or professor. Created in perpetuity, your endowment has a long lasting legacy associated with NSU. Endowed funds are reminders of the great support provided by those who came before. Be sure to consult with a qualified professional before you draft your will or trust, and review it often. Sample language is available for any of the bequests listed above. For additional information on donations, wills, bequests, gift acceptance policy, or planned giving in general, please contact the NSU Foundation at 918-458-2143. www.nsugiving.com | 918-458-2143 | 812 N. Cedar Ave. | Tahlequah, OK 74464 15 2013 HONOR ROLL OF DONORS FOUNDATION GIVING LEVELS The Honor Roll of Donors identifies significant gifts made by alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, friends, and community members during the calendar year 2013.
