Annual Report 2005-2006 - University of Rio Grande

The word “Connection” appears throughout
this publication in different languages.
Gregory S. Sojka
The University of Rio Grande is a place where
connections are developed between students and
faculty; the institution and the community; countries
and cultures; and interests and ideas.
At Rio Grande, we are proud of our student-centered
philosophy. With our small classes, faculty can be
more than just teachers to our students—they can
become mentors, friends, and role models.
The institution also reaches out to the community with
fine arts programs, athletics, and community service
projects.
Students from fourteen countries and numerous states,
along with a variety of travel and exchange offerings,
provide ample opportunities for students to experience and learn
about different cultures in our “flattened world.”
But, the best connection is the connection between a student and
new ideas—which, is, of course, the purpose of higher education.
We hope to continue making connections well into the future. Your
help and continued support will help ensure our success. Already, the
Lighting the Way Campaign has transformed many aspects of our
campus—from new programs and scholarships to the construction
of new facilities and refurbishment of existing buildings.

Many of the year’s highlights are included in this annual report. I
hope that you find them as exciting as I do.
Sincerely,
Gregory S. Sojka
Interim President

ANNUAL REPORT
In the spring of 2005 the new Vice-President of
Finance, Frank Heil, established a new accounting
system and a new system of accounting for endowments as priorities as part of the “sound financial
process” objective of the University. The endowment
accounting system provides regular reconciliations of
each endowment, which includes allocating investment earnings to each individual endowment. The
accounting system is on target for a spring 2007
completion.
The Lighting the Way Campaign
•Campus life and community outreach
To provide support for the expansion of the Davis University Center, for key community outreach programs, to expand and enhance Rio’s athletic programs and facilities and to provide for ongoing maintenance of major campus facilities.
The Lighting the Way Campaign,
which began in 2002, is critical
to Rio Grande’s ability to fulfill its
mission. The campaign objectives
focus on two broad aspects of
Rio’s mission:
•Academic quality and program development
To provide support for high potential career programs in the Schools of Business, Education, Nursing, and Technology; an endowed chair in the School of Technology; the improvement and maintenance of instructional technology; and to create more endowed scholarships.
The goal of the five-year
campaign is $16.5 million.
Including an additional $4.5 million
in annual funding over the five
years of the campaign, the total
goal is $21 million.
As of June 2006, $13.7 million
had been committed to the
campaign, with an additional $2.4
million in annual funding.
The next phase of the campaign,
which will begin in Fall 2006, will
involve Rio Grande’s alumni.
The benefits of the campaign
are already evident throughout
campus including the naming of
the Lyvonia Clark Bunce School of
Education, which provided for the
refurbishment of Anniversary Hall,
new equipment for the school,
and many new scholarships for
education majors; the installation
of new bleachers in the Newt
Oliver Arena; the addition of
lighting, bleachers, and fencing on
the Evan E. Davis Soccer Field;
and the groundbreaking for the
expansion of the Davis University
Center.
The chart below reflects the
progress of the campaign since
its inception in 2002 through June
30, 2006.
During the 2005-2006 fiscal year,
donors generously pledged and
contributed over $1.7 million to the
campaign.

Grants Enhance Educational
Opportunities
Grant funding provided over
$2.3 million to the University
of Rio Grande and Rio Grande
Community College during the
2005-2006 fiscal year. Funding,
received from individuals,
foundations, corporations,
and government agencies,
provided for educational
activities, scholarships, facilities
improvements, and community
services.
Monies received from external
sources offered opportunities
that University and Community
College budgets could not
support. For example, the
CROSSROADS Program (funded
by the County Departments
of Jobs and Family Services
in Gallia and Meigs Counties)
provided educational and career
preparation and job experience
activities for many area residents.
The CROSSROADS Program
provided the support needed by
many people to take the first steps
leading to employment or further
education.
Another example was a grant
from the Martha Holden
Jennings Foundation that
supported the Girls Emerging
in Math and Science (GEMS)
summer program. This program
encouraged area eighth and ninth
grade girls to become interested
in mathematics and science
related careers. The American
Electric Power Company, Inc.
contributed to an endowment fund
to support GEMS.
Outside funding made possible
the presentation of The World
War I Years: America Becomes
a World Power series. Hosted by
the Davis Library, this program,
funded by National Video
Resources and Ohio Humanities
Council, brought many scholars to
the campus to present a program
of lectures and discussions
to students, faculty, staff, and
community residents that
examined this crucial time in the
nation’s past. The program also
provided off-campus sessions
that extended this educational
opportunity to many citizens.
This summary highlights only
a few of the activities that were
made possible by grant funding.
Each activity demonstrated the
importance of external funding
to help the University and the
Community College provide
opportunities that would not be
possible without the generous
support of contributors.
