2009–2010 Annual Report
Letter from the President
Dear Alumni and Friends,
It was a year for the history books.
•
Our football program broke into the national Division II Top Ten, and finished last year ranked 19th in the country. Not to be outdone, the UC men’s soccer
team made it to the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament and Head Coach Chad Duernberger, ’06, was named national Division II Soccer Coach of the Year.
•
UC brought two controversial figures together for the “Forum on Energy,” featuring Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship and environmental activist,
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., gleaning more national attention than any prior event at UC.
•
We added a $22 million apartment/parking facility next to the School of Pharmacy, on the former site of Dickinson Hall. The innovative design won a
“Growing Smart” award from the City of Charleston.
•
The UC Annual Fund remained healthy despite a weak economy – a testament to the loyalty of our supporters and the
value they place on making private higher education accessible to students.
•
I traveled far and wide, from Slovakia and Turkey to Washington, DC, and Little Rock, AR, speaking about the
outcomes-based, assessment-saturated curriculum that has come to be UC’s trademark. Watch for an in-depth
look at Learning Your Way in the next issue of the Maroon & Gold magazine.
•
UC granted degrees to the first Doctors of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.). Never before in the history of
Morris Harvey College/University of Charleston has the institution awarded a doctoral degree.
The increased number of graduates forced us to seek a larger venue for commencement. You can
see the result on the cover – a memorable outdoor commencement on the riverfront lawn.
This Annual Report gives you the highlights of a year in the life of the University. As always, we seek excellence
– in teaching, in learning and in service to our students. A printed magazine can only say so much; it is my hope
that you visit campus often to see it for yourselves.
Sincerely,
Dr. Edwin H. Welch
President

2009–2010 Annual Report
Dr. Letha Zook: VP, Dean, Cow Lady
By Scott Castleman
Since Messiah didn’t have a PT program, Dr. Zook
transferred after her sophomore year to the University
of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. At Penn she was able
to pursue a career in physical therapy, play Division
I field hockey, and experience life in the hustle and
bustle of a metropolitan area.
After graduating from high school, Dr. Letha Zook
left her home in small-town Chambersburg, PA, for
Messiah College, just 45 minutes away, to play collegiate field hockey and follow her aspirations of becoming a physical education teacher and coach. Little
did the University of Charleston’s new Vice President
for Academic Life and Dean of the Faculty know that
cross-country travels and a successful career in higher
education awaited.
A three-sport athlete growing up, it only seemed natural at the time that Dr. Zook would pursue a career
that would keep her involved in athletics. However,
during her first two years at Messiah her interests
changed from instructing players from the sidelines
to helping injured athletes get back on the field.
“I loved the idea of physical therapy and helping people maximize their potential despite illness or injury,”
said Dr. Zook.
“Philadelphia was my first introduction to a city and
I fell in love,” said Dr. Zook.
“I was sitting in California thinking, ‘I took the wrong
job this time,’ when I received a call from Wheeling
Jesuit telling me they were looking for a director of
PT,” said Zook. “So I came back east in 1998.”
The country girl quickly became a city slicker. Soon
after graduating from Penn, Dr. Zook headed to New
York City, where she received her master’s degree
from NYU and doctorate from Columbia. And when
she wasn’t sitting in classes she was teaching them.
Dr. Zook rekindled her passion for working with students and developed a funny nickname as well.
Dr. Zook said it took some time to adjust to Wheeling
after living in big cities, but it grew on her. She was
instrumental in getting the PT school recertified and
rose through the ranks to Academic Vice President.
She enjoyed her 12 years at WJSU but the opportunity
to come to UC was too good to pass up.
“When I was teaching kinesiology and anatomy I “I’ve watched the University of Charleston grow

Hallowed Ground: The UC Riverbank
By Ronna Dittman, ’85
UC kicked off the festivities Friday night as John
Duernberger, ’72, introduced his son, Chad, ’06,
as UC Alumnus of the Year. In only his second
season as head men’s soccer coach at UC, Chad was
named the Division II national coach of the year.
The rotunda and patio
were the perfect site
for the reception,
giving alumni the
chance to mingle and
reminisce.
Under a large tent on the riverbank, alumni began
gathering on Saturday morning to watch the
crew races on the Kanawha River. West Virginia
Governor Joe Manchin made a surprise visit to
the tent and had the opportunity to speak and
be photographed with many alumni. While the
festivities were scheduled to end mid-afternoon,
many lingered until much later, enjoying the river
and the company of good friends.
For many, this was the first trip back to campus in 30
years. While the campus had changed, the feelings
of our alumni for their alma mater have only grown
sweeter. David Kurtz, ’80, summed it up well in a
letter written after the weekend: “There were lots of
hugs, plenty of laughter, and even a few tears. My
throat was raspy from talking so much, and my face
hurt from smiling all day long.”
As the evening came to a close, and in the weeks
that followed, many alumni expressed the same
feelings David Kurtz shared as he concluded, “I
often dream at night about those undergrad days, and
know that if I could ever go back in time, UC would
be the place to go. I’m glad that I was able to return
there yesterday and spend a day on the riverbank
revisiting the people and the place that helped to
make me who I am today. Thanks to all of those who
were in attendance, and to those who helped to make
it happen. To those alums who missed it, you should
try to attend a future event — the reconnections are
inspiring and invigorating. The UC riverbank will
always be hallowed ground to me.”
“
I often dream
at night about
those undergrad days,
and know that if I
could ever go back in
time, UC would be the
place to go...the reconnections are
inspiring and invigorating. The UC
riverbank will always be hallowed
ground to me.
“
What’s your favorite memory of the UC riverbank?
Sunbathing between classes? Dorm Wars tug-ofwar? Having your picture taken with the Capitol in
the background? For many alumni, that memory
is the annual Governor’s Cup crew races, either
as a rower or as a spectator. This was evident at
the annual Alumni Spring Weekend and Greek
Reunion on April 23–24, sponsored by Huddleston,
Bolen LLP. From as far away as Osaka, Japan, over
150 alumni gathered on that hallowed ground to
reconnect with old friends and make new ones.

2009–2010 Annual Report
Commencement 2010
When asked to identify
the biggest event of the
2009–10 academic year,
President Welch did not
hesitate: “Graduating the first class of doctoral pharmacists.” For an institution that began as Barboursville Seminary in 1888, this was indeed a crowning
achievement.
Years of planning the vision for the future of UC
came together when hundreds of parents, friends,
faculty and staff gathered on the riverfront lawn on
Sunday, May 2, for the 122nd Commencement of
the University of Charleston. The ceremony marked
many milestones: the first outdoor commencement
in 20 years, the largest graduating class (248) in a
decade, and the inaugural graduates not only of the
Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program, but also of
two new master’s programs: the Master of Business
Administration and Leadership (MBAL) and Executive Master of Forensic Accounting (EMFA).
Photographers were strategically placed on the
lawn and on the rooftop
of Riggleman Hall to capture the occasion from
every angle. Grand Marshal Dennis McMillen
led the colorful cohort to
their seats in front of a
stage directly across the river from the State Capitol.
President Welch awarded 69 pharmacy doctorates,
10 MBALs, 127 bachelor’s degrees, 24 associate’s
degrees, 14 executive MBAs, nine EMFAs, and three
honorary degrees (see sidebar).
Serving also as the commencement speaker, Dr.
Welch exhorted the graduates to “Dream Big, Plan
Small.” Dewayne Kirkpatrick, a radiology student
from Coalton, WV, won senior of the year honors
(see story p. 34). Following the ceremony, families
and friends gathered on the patio for food, drink and
entertainment by the UC steel drum band to celebrate
the accomplishments of the class of 2010.
As the party wound down,
the weather geared up, and
Mother Nature brought the
outdoor celebration to an
end, as 248 new University
of Charleston alumni went
out into the world to lead their
lives of productive work, enlightened living, and community involvement.

Commencement 2010
UC's First Pharmacists
The UC School of Pharmacy opened its doors in August 2006, and its first class of graduated in May 2010.
To date, 97 percent of the UC graduates who have
taken the national certification test (NAPLEX) have
passed, exceeding both state and national pass rates.
Soon after commencement, the UC School of Pharmacy received the welcome news that it had
achieved full national accreditation from the Accreditation
Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). The ACPE
awards full accreditation to
a new program that has met all
standards and has graduated its
first class.
A remarkable number of
graduates have garnered
competitive post-graduate positions, six in pharmacy
residency programs and three in clinical research fellowships, for a total of 13% of the graduating class.
The large proportion of UC graduates in these postgraduate training opportunities is notable in any
graduating class, not to mention the first graduating
class from a newly established pharmacy school.
About three quarters of the graduates are committed
to practicing as community pharmacists, and 10 percent will practice in institutional settings like hospitals and nursing homes.
One of the primary goals of the UC program has been
to improve the quality of health care in underserved
regions of West Virginia and Appalachia. Approximately 80 percent of the inaugural pharmacy graduates will be staying in the Appalachian region: 34
percent in West Virginia, 24 percent in Kentucky, five
percent each in Ohio and Maryland, and the other 12
percent spread across North Carolina, Pennsylvania,
Virginia and Tennessee. The remaining graduates are
spread out from Delaware to
Florida and as far west as
California.
2010 Honorary Degrees
As part of the commencement ceremony, UC awarded
honorary degrees to a notable alumnus, a member of
the West Virginia Supreme Court, and the CEO of the
American Pharmacists Association. The three recipients spoke at a luncheon in the Erma Byrd Gallery
prior to the ceremony, and each received a doctoral
hood and formal citation during commencement.
Greg Burton, ’82, is president and CEO of BrickStreet
Mutual Insurance Company. He received an honorary
Doctor of Laws degree in recognition of his accomplishment in transforming the West Virginia Workers’
Compensation Commission from an expensive state
agency to a profitable private company.
The University also awarded an honorary Doctor of
Laws degree to Robin Jean Davis, chief justice of the
West Virginia Supreme Court. Thomas Menighan,
executive vice president and CEO of the American
Pharmacists Association, received an honorary
Doctor of
Science degree.

2009–2010 Annual Report
UC’s Best-Known Alum
By Scott Castleman
It isn’t often that a student with a 4.0 GPA takes 53 years
to graduate from college. But the late West Virginia senator
and University of Charleston alumnus Robert C. Byrd was
never by any means conventional.
was a very special moment for everyone involved. “He
was moved because he said it was ‘his’ degree,” said Dr.
Welch. “This was the one he began as a student – rather
than the other honorary degrees he received so often.”
It took Senator Byrd 16 years to begin schooling at Morris
Harvey College after graduating from Mark Twain High
School in Stotesbury, WV, just outside of Beckley. When
he enrolled in classes in 1950, Byrd did so having already
served four years as a member of the West Virginia House
of Delegates.
The senator and his beloved wife Erma have been invaluable to the advancement of UC and have each been honored on campus. In 2004 the school unveiled the Erma
Byrd Women Artists Gallery in Riggleman Hall, which
features paintings and sculptures by virtually every wellknown female artist from West Virginia. Although Mrs.
Byrd was in poor health when the gallery was completed,
Senator Byrd made sure she knew how wonderful it was.
Working as a college student and delegate would probably
be more than enough to keep most people busy, but Byrd
found the time to run for, and win, a seat in the state senate in 1950 as well. He did all this while taking 27 course
hours from the fall of 1950 to the spring of 1951 and maintaining straight A's.
Duty to his state called after Byrd’s first and only year
as a student at Morris Harvey, as he went on to serve in
the U.S. House of Representatives for six years. His time
spent at the school was not forgotten though. He claimed
political science professor Dr. Evelyn Harris was the best
teacher he ever had, and once said, “I have a warm place in
my heart for the University of Charleston, where I started
to obtain the kind of learning that I longed for from excellent teachers and faculty.”
In 2003, more than a half-century after enrolling in his first
class at Morris Harvey, Senator Byrd was awarded a bachelor’s degree summa cum laude from UC. The degree was
given for his work in the classroom, as well as his superior work in Washington, DC. According to UC President
Edwin Welch, being able to award the senator the degree
“The most touching moment I had with Senator Byrd was
when Janet and I were alone with him in the Byrd Gallery
and he called his dear Erma to describe to her in loving
words the gallery he knew she would never see,” said Dr.
Welch.
The following year the senator announced $9.6 million in
federal money for construction of the UC School of Pharmacy building, which was named in his honor. The return
on investment was seen in May of 2010 as the first class
of 69 pharmacy doctorates were granted by UC, helping to
alleviate the critical need for more pharmacists in Appalachia. Senator Byrd also acquired funds in recent years to
renovate Riggleman Hall, helping to accommodate nursing and radiology students. All of these projects have ensured that his legacy will live on at his original alma mater.
“Senator Byrd’s work forever enriched the University, West
Virginia, the United States Senate, and the nation,” said Dr.
Welch. “We are grateful for his assistance and we cherish
him as our best known and most influential alumnus.”

2009–2010 Annual Report
Senior of the Year Beats Long Odds to Achieve Success
By Stephanie Martin
It’s hard to believe the Dewayne Kirkpatrick of
today – accomplished college graduate and winner
of the University of Charleston’s 2010 “President’s
Outstanding Senior of the Year” award — could have
ever lacked vision for his future. Once you know
Dewayne’s story, however, you will understand.
As a child, Dewayne broke his arm, sparking an interest in radiology. Sitting in the hospital and looking
at the x-ray of his broken arm, he was fascinated by
what he saw on the film. In middle
school he started toying with
the idea of a career in radiology, and by high school he
was taking classes to help
him prepare for a future in
the field. By his own admission, it wasn’t until
his senior year of high
school that Dewayne even
began to consider college an option. Until
then, his focus had
been on mending his
tattered self-esteem
and on reforming
definitions of love
and trust, results
of a tumultuous
childhood.
Dewayne
Kirkpatrick on
graduation day
Growing up, Dewayne didn’t know his father. He had
walked out on the family by the time Dewayne was
four. What he knew of his mother included financial
struggles, involvement in criminal activities, and her
eventual incarceration. When Dewayne was 13, he
was adopted by complete strangers, a couple who
took him in and raised him as their own child. With
the care and support of his adoptive parents, he had
the opportunity to rebuild his life.
Dewayne gained confidence, applied to college, and
was accepted. The University of Charleston was his
destination and radiology his chosen field of study.
Though his adoptive parents had some money, they
were retired and living on a fixed income. Dewayne
felt responsible for financing school without draining
his parents’ savings account. With the assistance he
received from donor-funded scholarships, Dewayne
was able to cover a good portion of the cost of his
college education.
During the President’s Donor Appreciation Night
dinner in March, Dewayne met Ed Maier, the
donor who made his scholarship possible. He was
able to learn firsthand what motivated the Maier
Foundation’s philanthropy. What Dewayne realized
was the donor of his scholarship was a genuine,
down-to-earth man who believes passionately in
the value of higher education. Maier shared in the
emotion of the evening as Dewayne took the stage—
one of four student speakers—and openly recounted
his life story to a room full of teary-eyed guests.
Dewayne has flourished and become a success story
despite his rocky childhood. He credits his experience
at the University of Charleston with having a
profound and positive impact on his life, and says that
attending UC was one of the best decisions he ever
made. He graduated in May with a 3.9 grade point
average, beat out 12 other accomplished seniors to
win the 2010 “President’s Outstanding Senior of the
Year” award, passed his radiology board exams on the
first attempt, and earned a highly coveted, full-time
position as a magnetic resonance imaging technician
with Charleston Area Medical Center, normally a
position reserved for those with 10 or more years of
work experience. Because of his accomplishments in
the field of radiology, he has already been asked to
return to UC as an instructor after gaining a few years
of work experience.
Dewayne feels fortunate for his success and
acknowledges there have been many people along
the way who have helped him to arrive where he is
today. He hopes some day to be able to lend a hand
to students in need, just as the Maier Foundation did
for him. He also believes his story can inspire others
to succeed and reach their goals. “The best way I can
help students is to tell them how I made it through,”
says Dewayne. And with many students in need of
encouragement and financial help for college, he
knows he will be telling his story for a long time.
If you would like to help students at the University of
Charleston reach their educational and career goals
and realize their dreams, please consider establishing or
contributing to a scholarship. Over 95% of students at UC
rely on some form of financial aid. Please contact the Office
of Advancement at 304.357.4735 for more information.

2009–2010 Annual Report
A New Home for UC Alumni
By Ronna Dittman,’85
University and recognizes the need for them to always have a place to call their own. The seven-office
suite is also a more efficient workspace, providing
the alumni and development staff with an environment more conducive to work. “In the old house,
we were spread out on two floors and had no doors
on most of the offices. Now, our space is better organized and we can talk with our visitors in a more
comfortable atmosphere,” said Beakes.
Advancement Office staff extend a welcome (from left):
Dawn McCoy, Tina Wright, Stephanie Martin, Ben
Beakes, Morgan Poore, and Jennie James.
A new exterior entrance at the front of the west wing
of Riggleman Hall makes the center easy to find and
easy to enter. Since the move, which occurred on
June 22, 2010, several alumni have already taken the
opportunity to check out the new space. The new location has increased traffic to the center. More alumni are stopping by in person, and fewer are calling to
find out where the alumni offices are.
The Erickson Alumni House has served as host to
hundreds of visiting alumni since it was purchased
and renovated in 1991, but the growth of campus, increase in alumni activity, and need for professional
offices eventually caught up with the once residential
home. This past summer, the newly christened “Erickson Alumni Center” moved to the heart of campus
on the first floor of Riggleman Hall.
As the alumni and development staff continue to offer programs and opportunities for alumni to come
back to campus and be involved with the University,
they hope the new space will serve as the center for
reconnections. “It’s important to UC for our alumni
to feel appreciated and ‘at home’ on campus. In the
same way, we hope our alumni want to invest their
time and resources in making their treasured alma
mater feel like home for future students,” Beakes
said.
“The Alumni House was located at the end of campus,
off the beaten path for visitors,” said Ben Beakes, ’02,
vice president for development. “Now, we are visible
and accessible to everyone who comes on campus.”
The move reflects the importance of alumni to the
All alumni are encouraged to drop by the new Erickson Alumni Center when visiting campus—for directions, for information, or just to say “Hello.”

2009–2010 Annual Report
Where were you in 1960?
This year marks the 50th
anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s
election as president. During a
campaign swing through West
Virginia, Kennedy addressed a
capacity crowd in Morris Harvey
College’s Geary Auditorium.
This photo was part of an exhibit
at the state Culture Center
commemorating JFK’s 1960 West
Virginia campaign, and we’re
guessing that the young people
pictured were Morris Harvey
students.
If you can help us identify
the students in this photo,
or have other information
about the event, please write
or email Jennie Ferretti, vice
president for communications,
at 2300 MacCorkle Avenue
SE, Charleston, WV 25304, or
[email protected]. We’ll
publish the results in the next
issue of the Maroon & Gold
magazine.

2009–2010 Annual Report
Basketball Fever
By Scott Castleman
“I wasn’t making any money, didn’t have anything to
my name, but I don’t ever remember being happier,”
said Downey.
UC men’s basketball coach Mark Downey loved his
first coaching job. The only downside was he had to
avoid catching Barton College fever while he was
there.
No, the 1995 Golden Eagle alum wasn’t dodging
school spirit. He wasn’t even avoiding falling in love
with the college’s campus set in Wilson, NC. Downey
was actually ducking every infectious germ and illness
afflicting students as he navigated through the school
infirmary to his living quarters.
“I had a little room with a closet and the bathroom was
down the hall,” said Downey. “On down the hallway
was a big room with four hospital beds, and when students got sick with something they didn’t want to have
taken back to the dorms they would have them stay
there.”
Besides his humble living quarters, the only other
compensation Downey received as an assistant coach
was three meals per day in the cafeteria. He worked at
a local junior college every morning, where he tutored
adult students for an actual paycheck.
After paying his dues at Barton, Downey made coaching stops at Marshall University (assistant), Independence Community College (assistant and head coach),
and the University of New Orleans (assistant) before
landing the head coaching job at Arkansas Tech. ATU
had only won eight conference games over the previous three years, but the Morgantown, WV, native saw
the potential. Four short years later, Downey and the
Wonder Boys compiled a remarkable 30-1 regular season record and a No. 1 national ranking heading into
the Division II NCAA tournament.
Despite falling a little short in the tournament, the
2009–10 season seemed to be a launch pad for the future of the program in Russellville, AR, with Downey
as the pilot. Fate stepped in though as long time UC
coach Greg White resigned in April and opened the
door for the former Golden Eagle guard to return
home.
“Before I made it to Arkansas Tech, I thought that if I
was going to coach Division II that UC is the place I
would like to be,” said Downey. “When Coach (Greg)
White decided to leave I got a bunch of calls, and so
at that point I thought if I was pursued I would really
have to think about it.”
Thanks to encouragement from Coach White and others, Downey did more than think about it as he accepted the job and the challenge to return the Golden
Eagles to the top. Although he was a lights-out shooter
as a player, fans should expect more emphasis put on
the defensive end by their new coach.
“When I played I couldn’t guard a soul but now I am
a defensive and rebounding coach because it wins
games,” said Downey. “Playing tough, smart and hard
makes up for a lot of other things. There are going to
be nights when you don’t shoot the ball very well, and
when that happens you better be ready to do the other
things that can help you win.”
Downey believes that the talent he was left by White is
much better than what he inherited at Arkansas Tech,
but he isn’t ready to make predictions for the upcoming year. He isn’t afraid to state the long-term goals for
his program though.
“We want to play for it all,” said
Downey. “People always tell me
that, historically, teams from the
WVIAC haven’t gone very deep
in the NCAA tournament, but we
are going to use that as a chip on
our shoulder.”
Coach Downey has
come a long way
from his modest
beginnings at Barton College. Much
to the liking of his
wife, Ericka, the
couple is not residing
anywhere
close to the school
infirmary. But that
doesn’t mean his
team isn’t capable of
spreading a little basketball fever this year.
