Greetings
Greetings and blessings to you from the Concordia University community,
which now spans the Pacific Northwest from Portland to Boise, and worldwide, through our online degree
offerings. We are fortunate to serve an increasing number of students in new and exciting ways as we seek to
live and bear witness to our mission of preparing leaders for the transformation of society.
Fiscal Year 2012 was another year of great expansion while remaining steadfast in our mission.
– We welcomed a record number of students, making Concordia the fastest growing university in
Oregon and within the Concordia University System.
– We physically increased capacity with the opening of the School of Law building in Boise and the
Hilken Community Stadium in Portland.
– We also celebrated the renovation of the Luther Hall Science Labs, a much needed upgrade
necessary to serve the continued growth of our science and nursing programs.
– We are also pleased to be recognized for the fourth time by the Corporation for National &
Community Service as a member of The President’s Community Service Honor Roll. In addition,
Concordia University was recognized in Washington Monthly Magazine for the third consecutive
year in the top ten Master’s Level universities for community service, based on total hours of
community service. We topped the list in 2010 and ranked fifth in 2012.
As we celebrate the great successes of 2012, we look to 2013 with growing anticipation of the many new
opportunities that lay before our Concordia University community. In the coming year, we will greet the
second class of law students in Boise; we anticipate setting even more enrollment records; and we will joyfully
strengthen our partnerships in northeast Portland, particularly with our neighbor, PreK-8 Faubion School.
Thank you for your generous support of Concordia’s mission and most importantly, the support you give to
our students. Your efforts and your energy are a testament to the power of our mission and the importance
of our shared future. As our ministry has now reached its 108th academic year – the Concordia of 2012 may
look different from that of 1905, but our mission and our purpose is rooted in the same Lutheran heritage
and sense of purpose of a century ago – we give thanks to God for you and we look forward to another year of
transformation!

Concordia University
Concordia University is blessed by the
leadership of the Board of Regents and the Foundation
Board of Directors. The university is governed by the
Board of Regents, elected by the conventions of the
Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod, the Northwest
District, and the current board. The Regents meet
throughout the year to strategize, plan, and set forth
policies that are in turn carried out by the President,
who is an advisory member to the Board. The Board
of Directors of the Concordia University Foundation
is comprised of dedicated individuals with an affinity
and passion to serve the mission of the university. The
Foundation Directors oversee the overall business
affairs of the Foundation and meet at various times
throughout the year to inform, discuss, and strategize
the goals and activities of the Foundation. Although
Concordia University’s two governing boards are
separate entities, starting in Fiscal Year 2012, they began
to meet simultaneously and in cooperation with each
other. Together, the university’s Regents and Foundation
Directors are referred to as the Council of Trustees. The
men and women serving the university through these
leadership roles have fostered our growth and provided
the vision that has led Concordia to this historic and
exciting time. We thank them for their service and their
leadership to the Concordia community and students.

A m y G e h r k e g r a d u at e d f r o m C o n c o r d i a i n 1996 with a degree in elementary
education. After a year of serving on a musical ministry team across the United States and Southeast Asia, she taught
a 5th/6th grade split class at Trinity Lutheran School in Paso Robles, CA. After teaching for four years, Amy moved
back to Oregon to be closer to her family and an opportunity to work in the office of admission at Concordia on a shortterm assignment that was intended to last for only two months. Those two months have turned into over eleven years
of serving incoming students in the office of admission – first working with freshman students and then with graduate
students. Amy has served as the director of graduate admission for the last four years and recently earned her M.Ed. in
leadership from Concordia. When asked why she supports the university with monthly donations, she shared:
“As an undergraduate student, I received generous scholarships from Concordia University. I would never have been
able to earn my undergraduate degree without that support. My time as a CU student helped me not only earn a
well-respected degree and prepare me for several professions; it also helped shape me as a person. I matured from an
adolescent into a young adult, developed life-long friendships, was challenged and supported by professors and staff who
were invested in my academic and personal growth, and grew in my relationship with Christ. I am blessed to continue
to be a part of the Concordia community and feel privileged to support current students and programs monetarily the
way I was once supported.”
It's because of our faculty and staff, and people like Amy, that we're able to transform society.
Not only do Concordia University faculty and staff give generously of their time and talents, but did you know that
during the 2012 Fiscal Year current and former members of the faculty and staff committed $ 1 4 7 , 2 3 8 in gifts and
pledges to the mission of Concordia?
Thank You!

Corporate matching gifts are a great opportunity for your gift to Concordia University to
double, even triple the impact of your donation. Throughout the year, many of our alumni,
parents, and friends take advantage of their employer’s matching gift program and that
extra step makes a significant difference in our ability to improve the lives of our students.
In addition to matching an employee’s charitable donations, many organizations encourage
volunteer service by providing matching funds for volunteer service hours.

“ My n a m e i s F r a n c e s c a
A u lt m a n ( Jac k s o n ) a n d I
graduated from Concordia in 2008 with my
bachelor of arts in interdisciplinary studies.
I grew up in Puyallup, Washington with
my parents and two younger sisters, and
moved to Portland in 2004 when I started at
Concordia. I have worked in retail management
and human resources for the last four years
and currently work as a training and hiring
manager for Adidas. I am also excited about
an upcoming career change as I hope to
begin the master of arts in teaching program
at Concordia this January! I now live in
Northwest Portland with my husband, Ryan.
I choose to donate to Concordia when I am
able because I am so proud to be a Concordia
University alum and am so genuinely thankful
for the opportunities the school provided me.
At Concordia, I built lifelong relationships
with peers, staff, and professors through an
intimate learning environment in which I
felt valued as an individual, not as a number.
Opportunities abounded to become involved
in my school, develop myself, and connect with
the community around me, all while earning a
high caliber education. I have stayed up to date
on changes at the school over the last few years,
and have been absolutely thrilled to see the
growth and the increased resources available to
students and to the Concordia neighborhood as
a whole. My enthusiasm for the school has only
grown as I have watched this transformation
occur, and it is important to me to contribute
to it as much as I am able at this time. My hope
is that anything I am able to give goes toward
continued growth that positively impacts the
student body, professors, and the community,
and enables Concordia to provide the same, if
not better, experience that forever changed the
person I am today.”

“Thank you so much for your support of Concordia University!
As a biology major I am very excited about the new labs and

science laboratory
To meet the pressing needs of the growing number of students studying science,
Concordia University has constructed three new laboratories. These labs have
expanded our ability for student research in tissue culture, analytical chemistry, and
biology. Augmenting our current chemistry, biology, nursing skills, and cadaver labs
better equips Concordia to expand our science offerings, including nursing, ecology,
geology, anatomy, and environmental science coursework. Without generous gifts
from the following individuals, corporations, and foundations, this new learning
space would not have been possible. Thank you for choosing to be a catalyst for
science!
