2013 Report of A ppreciation
Letter from Brad Baca
Interim President, Western State Colorado University
Any institute of higher learning can fill heads.
Dear Alumni and Friends,
Only the best fill hearts.
They’re special places that attract special people.
In our case, it’s seekers of knowledge and thrills.
Born leaders and square pegs.
The nicest rebels you’ll ever meet.
Pursuing higher learning surrounded by a landscape that’s
more vertical than horizontal; more wild than tamed.
And when they’ve achieved all they can here, they do the same out in the world.
Not content to just make a living, they make their mark.
And in time, discover the place where they learned and lived, now lives in them.
Carved into their very beings as surely as Gunnison was carved out of the Rockies.
That kind of education is too powerful to keep to yourself.
Alums, supporters, faculty—all members of Western Nation—
aren’t obligated to tell others; they’re compelled.
They want to shout from the mountaintops…about the mountaintops,
secure in the knowledge that it’s not bragging if it’s true.
And it is.
There’s no university experience like this anywhere.
In my more than eleven years here at Western, I can’t think of a
time I’ve been more proud to show a prospective student what
our University has to offer.
And the source of that pride is not just the new or improved physical
features and facilities that grace our campus, but also the updated
technology, new equipment and expanded academic offerings.
From one end of campus to the other, in every department, Western
has never shined more brightly. And the world is taking notice.
We’ve earned a well-deserved spot on U.S. News and World Report’s
college rankings. And in its annual list of America’s top colleges,
Forbes has ranked Western one of the best 100 in the West.
We’re an Outside Magazine Top 25 College, an ESPN Top 10 College
for Skiers, and a Mountain Bike Action Magazine Top 10 College for
Mountain Bikers.
I don’t mention these things to boast (well, maybe a little), but to
make a point: We’re only as good as those who support us.
And thanks to you, we’re great.
Your support is helping change the lives of students who’ll change
the world. And making Western’s extraordinary learning environment
even more remarkable.
And while, in the hyper-competitive world of higher education, there’s
always more to do, the purpose of this document is to acknowledge
what’s been done. To recognizing those who helped us do it. And to
say thank you to everyone who answered the call to step up…
Western Up…and give back.
Never has been. Never will be.
So when it comes time to support a place this special
Sincerely,
in word, deed, or donation…
...Step up. Speak up. Western up.

Letter from Art Harter
Letter from Tom Burggraf
President, Western State Foundation
Executive Director, Western State Foundation
Dear Western Friends,
Dear Friends,
This year has been filled with excitement, challenges and great
accomplishments. Western, now operating as a University, has
brought on great changes to its physical appearance and
academic growth.
Western Up is love that lifts up.
The Foundation Board of Directors continues to diligently focus
on our Mission Statement: “To provide financial leadership and
support of the Western State Colorado University vision, while
offering an ever-improving and remarkable learning environment.”
The culmination of the Foundation’s passion, talents, enthusiasm
and loyalty to Western has produced a focused campaign to set
and reach ever-increasing high goals. These innovative goals will
continue to increase and expand the great learning environment
that Western has been and insure it will always be!
The most loved things always get lifted up. When we were kids,
the adults who loved us would sweep us up into our arms, high
above what we could otherwise see, and place us on a perch we
could not otherwise reach. They loved and lifted us.
When we grew, we made deep friendships. We saw in these
friends -- qualities and potentials that even they did not see. We
lifted their eyes and faces, so they could see themselves in the
same light we saw them. We loved and lifted them.
We went off to work. And rather than simply trade our time for
money, we wanted to succeed by raising the company, its people
and those we serve in real and good ways. When we did that, we
loved and lifted.
Two words epitomize this rising direction—Western Up!
Gratefully,
Art Harter (‘78)
President, Western State Foundation
For many of us, it has now come full circle. Our parents are much
older and needing our care to meet their most basic needs, the
way they cared for us when we were very young. And we do so with
joy and dignity, loving and lifting them as they once did for us.
Love lifts. That’s the stuff of a beautiful and meaningful life. And
for you who know that Western and its people have loved and
lifted you, you are doing the same for Western. Loving and lifting.
It looks different for each gift: a scholarship for a student who
otherwise could not afford college; a University Center that is a
home away from home; a sport that lets them know they belong
and are strong; an academic program that ignites their passion to
change the world.
It’s all loving and lifting.
That’s what you’ve done by giving.
That’s the stuff of a beautiful and meaningful life.
That’s the stuff of a powerful and life-changing University.
That’s what Western Up is all about.
And why I am so grateful for you.
Thank you.
Warmly,
Thomas F. Burggraf, Jr.
Executive Director, Western State Foundation

A new rallying cry for a new era.
University Center
This past year, Western earned a welldeserved spot on U.S. News and World
Report’s college rankings.
It doesn’t take much. A simple walk around the campus just
might provide all the input a visitor needs to discover what
Western Nation already knows: there’s a new spirit here.
In its annual list of America’s top colleges,
Forbes ranked Western as one of the best
100 colleges in the West.
Washington Monthly Magazine named
Western a top national liberal arts college.
Given Western’s long history of innovation and excellence,
though, re-newed might be a better way to describe it,
especially considering what a groundbreaking idea it was
in the first place to choose the Gunnison Valley as ground
zero for the adventure in higher education that would
become Western State Colorado University.
Luckily, the spirit that inspired the founders of the first
college carved out of Colorado’s western slope was more
than matched by the faculty, staff and students who
followed in their wake then and follow in it still today.
For more than a century, Western has championed uncommon excellence–a fact reflected not only in the quality of its
academics, but also in the success of its graduates.
Western was on Business Insider’s 2013
List of Smartest Colleges (based on SAT
scores).
In 2013, Western was named a G.I. Jobs’
Top Military-Friendly School.
And Western is an Outside Magazine Top
25 College for Outside Readers, an ESPN
Top 10 College for Skiers, and a Mountain
Bike Action Magazine Top 10 College for
Mountain Bikers.
Now, Western’s robust history, recent successes and renewed spirit
have inspired a new rallying cry that slowly but surely is making its
way through Western Nation: Western Up!
It’s a “high five” back through time to the educational pioneers who
helped make Western possible.
It’s a declaration of pride for students, faculty, alumni and supporters.
Preceded by a #, it’s a way to connect comments, posts and photos
from Western’s online community.
And for the Western State Colorado University Foundation, it’s a call
to action to support Western in word, deed and donation.
The University Center provides services and facilities that support Western’s education programming and special events hosted by the campus
community and visiting groups and organizations.
In addition, the University Center provides a hub for
students to gather and socialize. It includes a movie
theater, dining, big screen TV’s, a games area with
pool tables and foosball, a fire pit, and more.
This state-of-the-art facility aspires to enhance
campus life by providing services, amenities and
opportunities for community development, multicultural experiences, personal growth and achieving
skills vital to the development of engaged citizens
and future leaders.
We’re happy to report that in fiscal year 2012-13, Western Nation
more than answered the call. With your help, the Foundation raised more
than $4.4 million last year; and, in the past four years, the Foundation
has averaged a $3,662,448 distribution to the University.
From Biology to Business, Chemistry to Communication Arts, the evidence and outcome of that support can be experienced and seen in every
department on campus. But here are a few of the more noteworthy
accomplishments Foundation support helped make possible:
And the world is taking notice.

Professional Land and Resource
Management Program
One of only nine programs in North America, and
the only one of its kind in the Rockies, Western’s
Professional Land and Resource Management
(PLRM) Program features an intense, hands-on
curriculum that trains students to have successful
careers in energy exploration and development.
The PLRM Program’s comprehensive curriculum
provides graduates with a strong business administration education supplemented by specialized
courses related to the land management field,
including geographic information systems, law,
water and environmental issues, natural resource
economics, and petroleum geology.
Borick Business Building
One of the most impressive and beautifully-designed facilities
on campus, the Borick Business Building is home to Western’s
Business, Accounting and Economics Department.
Developed with direct cooperation of a variety of
industry leaders, and accredited by the American
Association of Professional Landmen, the PLRM
Program’s goal is to graduate the most prepared
land professionals in the country.
Borick has the distinction of being the first major building at
a college or university in Colorado built and equipped entirely
through private funds—including a generous $3 million donation
from Steven Borick (’75) and family.
The Borick Business Building is the first LEED-certified building on campus and within the Gunnison Valley. LEED stands for
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
Environmental features include the re-use of roof tiles on the
building taken from the renovation of other buildings on campus,
motion lighting and an energy-efficient ventilation system.
The track record of success experienced by those
who’ve graduated from the program indicate that
goal is more than being met.
Recreation Center and Field House
Funded through a student-approved facility fee, and on
track for a Spring 2014 opening, the Western State
Colorado University Recreation Center and Field House
will be a welcome addition to Western’s sports programs, students and campus life, in general.
The new Recreation Center and Field House will provide
120,000 square feet of sports- and athletics-related
facilities and equipment, including an NCAA track,
three basketball courts, three volleyball courts, three
group fitness rooms, an in-ground trampoline and foam
pit, a 5,300-square-foot Weight Room, a 40-plus-foot
climbing wall with over 3,000 square feet of climbing
space, a 5,800-square-foot Fitness Center, and a new
High-Altitude Performance Lab and Wellness Center.
Mountain Sports Team Program
Created with the help of a substantial annual commitment from Michael
O. Johnson (’77) and his wife, Mari, and lead gifts from Steve Borick (‘75),
the Mountain Sports Team Program continues to make great strides.
Gunnison’s spectacular mountain setting provides the perfect “playing
field” for this unique collection of Club Sports. The Mountain Sports Team
Program provides both male and female student athletes the opportunity
to compete at the intercollegiate level in a number of mountain sports.
Led by Dave Wiens (’90), Mountain Bike Hall of Famer and six-time winner
of the Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race, participating sports include
Mountain Biking (Cross Country and Downhill), Big Mountain Free-Ride Skiing
and Snowboarding, Nordic Skiing, Climbing, Trail Running and more.

Celebration of
Giving Banquet
Scholarship donors and recipients
break bread, share stories, give thanks.
“Considering the strong bonds established at this event,
it’s more than appropriate the meal is served family style,”
said Tom Burggraf, Foundation Executive Director.
Appropriate, as well, that Western’s Celebration of Giving
Banquet takes place around Thanksgiving, as each year the
event gives scholarship recipients the opportunity to thank
the donors of those scholarships face to face.
Spotlight:
R alph “Butch” Clark III
Supporting the environment by investing in those who’ll protect it.
When the Environment and Sustainability (ENVS) Program at
Western needed support, Ralph E. Clark, Jr. was there with a
$100,000 donation. The fund now named in his honor is used
to help create ENVS classes, develop the program, and promote
environmental education.
Now, about 10 years later, Ralph “Butch” Clark III (‘73) is
following in his father’s footsteps with a $100,000 gift of his
own. The donation will be used to support Western’s new Master
in Environmental Management (MEM) Program, funding five
Clark Environmental Fellowships per year for four years.
The unique and growing MEM Program offers two areas of concentration: Integrative Land Management and Sustainable and
Resilient Communities. One important advantage of the program
is the ecological diversity and natural resource wealth the
Gunnison Valley has to offer. And once again, that’s where Butch
Clark’s willingness to step up—and Western Up—comes into play.
8
The size of the event, in and of itself, is testament to the growth
and importance of the assistance Western students receive
from alumni and supporters. What began as a small luncheon
years ago now has grown to a major banquet with close to 200
in attendance.
For years, a tract of land owned by Butch and his wife, Judy, has
been used by the University as a natural, outdoor “classroom”,
and is now the site of the Coldharbour Sustainable Living Center.
According to Pam Johnston, Foundation Financial Manager,
“The students learned about the legacies and, in some cases,
loved ones behind the scholarships they’ve received, which
gave new meaning and appreciation to that support.”
The land, situated about seven miles east of Gunnison on
Tomichi Creek, offers a wide range of natural and historic features and available materials. Butch, who, along with his MBA
in Finance from Western, also received a Ph.D. in Environmental
Planning from the University College of London, explained the
inspiration behind the name.
“While I was studying
in England, my wife
and I lived in a place
called Coldharbour Farm, which was part of a large dairy farm
owned by friends. For over 600 years, according to some historians, this place and its ecosystem have remained virtually intact,”
Butch said.
“Over the years, we’ve had different goals for our Coldharbour,
but they were inspired by Coldharbour Farm, and centered around
restoring and protecting the land and its ecosystems,” he said.
Restoring, protecting and sustaining nature and natural resources
is an important goal of this one-time dude ranch wrangler and
long-time environmental planner will now help others achieve
thanks to his generation donation.
“With this type of support, we can offer our students more
fellowships and more qualified faculty, but also connect our
valley-wide partners with their expertise and energy,” said John
Hausdoerffer, Ph.D., the most recent director of Western’s
ENVS Program.
“With generous investments from Butch Clark and the Gunnison
Valley Housing Foundation, our new Master in Environmental
Management Program has taken a major step toward offering
higher education that will influence community sustainability and
resilience for years to come.”

My Western Up Story:
M axine Pierce (‘74)
Christopher Greene
Foundation Board Member
Assistant Professor of Business Administration
I live in Mt. Crested Butte, Colorado.
My wife and I have a 16-month-old son
named Sawyer.
I live with my husband David just outside of
Bloomfield, NM.
I worked in the banking industry for years, but both
my husband and I are now retired. My hobbies
include training and showing my two dogs, Bazza
and Cooper, in agility trials. I recently started training one of those dogs in herding. I also act as the
cheering section/support staff for my husband’s
passion of racing vintage motorcycles, which also
has allowed us to travel extensively.
I’ve volunteered for various organizations over the
years, including being a tutor for the local adult
literacy program, which is a rewarding and humbling experience.
Currently, I’m a member of the Western Foundation
Board of Directors. As a member of the Board, it’s
been fantastic to experience the deep commitment
and love that the other members and staff have for
Western. It’s truly remarkable.
I attended Western from the fall of 1970 until I
graduated in the spring of 1974 with degrees in
Accounting and Business.
“As a member of the Board, it’s been fantastic to experience
the deep commitment and love that the other members
and staff have for Western. It’s truly remarkable.”
While I was growing up I lived in small towns where
you knew most of the people. Western was a good
place for me to both learn and grow. I met and was
friends with people from the East Coast to the
West Coast, from service brats who had lived all
over the world to service men who were returning
from war. The diversity at Western during my time
there helped open my eyes to a much larger world.
For me, another great benefit of attending Western
is the fact that my degree got me my first job, and
that job is where I met my husband of 37 years.
There are a lot of great memories from my time
as a student at Western. I remember the group of
us that would gather in the student union between
10
classes to talk, pass the time and play cards. I
remember the group that all lived next door to each
other my freshman year. We all ate together, formed
intramural teams—some good stories there—
and, in general, helped each other get through
freshman year.
I remember a group deciding to volunteer and help
in the lighting of the “W”—an interesting experience
that I decided not to repeat. I remember the friend
that decided I had led too sheltered of a life and
so took me with her when she was going to hitchhike to Crested Butte. That experience was short
lived as she tried to get a ride with the state patrol,
and no, they didn’t stop, but we decided to give up
for the day. Thinking about this has really started
memories coming back. Mostly, what is memorable about my time as a student at Western is the
camaraderie both in and out of the classroom.
Some of the unique aspects offered by a Western
education now are the reasons I enjoyed attending
Western: the small classes taught by professors
who not only knew you by name, but were invested
in your future, the private University atmosphere
in a public University setting, the atmosphere on
campus—which was always friendly and helpful;
the beautiful location with skiing and other outdoor activities so nearby. Western is and always
has been one of the most unique and remarkable
places to learn and grow.
To me, to Western Up means to offer support to
the University any way I can, whether that is financially or by giving of my time, such as serving as a
member of the Foundation Board. It means stepping up and moving that support to the next level.
It’s a chance to give back to make sure a University
that’s unlike any other continues to grow, with better facilities, instructors, academic programs and
opportunities.
To Western Up is to do your part for the next
generation of Western students.
I am an Assistant Professor of Business
Administration. I am also the Director of
the Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship (ICE) Project. We are seeking to
inspire, connect and empower Western
and our extended community to become
true MountainMakers—people who put
ideas into action through relentless
experimentation, learning and implementation in all areas of life.
My professional passion is inspiring,
connecting and empowering people to become changemakers and problem solvers
as innovators, creators and entrepreneurs. I do this not only with my students,
but also with the other faculty and administrators at Western and in the community
among fellow business owners, entrepreneurs and non-profit leaders—the aforementioned MountainMakers. It is similar
to concepts of economic development
and small business development, but
expanded into an attitude and mindset
that affects all areas of life.
“To me, Western Up means being brave, taking a chance
and supporting something important to our future.”
The ICE Project is effecting change in
the curriculum at Western, the economic
development strategies in the Gunnison
Valley and the collaborations among
Western and our stakeholders.
I am also the co-founder and executive
chef of The Ruby of Crested Butte,
Colorado’s top-ranked B&B Inn, and Ruby
Resorts, a boutique concierge and home
management company. I am in the kitchen
almost every morning before heading out
for Western.
As a chef, I am definitely a foodie; in particular, a breakfast foodie. When traveling,
I will often visit a few well-researched
breakfast establishments each morning,
ordering multiple entrées at each, seeing
ideas and getting inspiration. I am also an
avid mountain biker and hiker.
But right now, every spare minute I have is
spent with my wife and my new son. He’s
at that age where every day something
new is discovered and learned. Yesterday,
for example, he learned to say “hooray!”,
which probably was a result of learning
to play on his new slide he received for
Christmas.
In a previous iteration of my life, as an
attorney, I was in the Governor’s Office of
Economic Development and International
Trade in Denver, where I had the opportunity to travel all around the state building
entrepreneurial supporting partnerships
between private and public entities, including universities, local governments
and economic development organizations.
The Gunnison Valley was one area I did
not visit. One summer weekend in 2004,
my wife and I took a day trip to the area
from Denver and immediately fell in love
with it. It’s very different than other
“resort” communities. It was then that I
remembered my cousin had been a track
star at Western and loved his time here.
We immediately began imagining how to
live here. Within four months, we had quit
our jobs and moved to the area to open
the Ruby. We borrowed no money from
friends or family, and even had to sell one
of our cars on the way to closing for the
down payment.
One thing that makes Western truly unique
is the attitude of the students. They are
interested in connecting what they are
learning to the real world experiences they
are immersed in outside the classroom.
I’m not sure if this attitude is something
they already have before they come to
Western and we just attract them, or if we
generate this while they are here, or if it’s
a combination. But it is definitely something that makes Western unique.
The connection students make with the
professors and with other students is also
a unique attribute. We are small, so there
are real opportunities to work together
and get to know each other.
For me, supporting the University and our
communities is a natural thing to do. I’ve
been a part of numerous organizations
in the Valley, and even founded several.
It’s an empowering experience to see an
issue and work with others to solve it.
This empowerment is gained through experience and seeing others do it. In a way,
by supporting Western and the community
I’m also supporting myself and my abilities to effect change in all areas of my life.
This is what I want to share with others.
To me, Western Up means being brave,
taking a chance and supporting something important to our future. It takes guts
to commit to something and committing
to Western is saying you believe in the
capabilities of this and future generations
of Western grads to solve the big problems they’re facing now, and will continue
to face.
Today’s graduating students enter a fundamentally different world than that of any
of their predecessors. They seek to find
their place and make their mark in a time
of sustained turbulence. The resulting
pressure on individuals, organizations
and communities is unprecedented and
generates more than just changes to the
rules of the game; the game itself is now
different. Western is preparing students
for this changing world.

Beau Milton
Patricia Wheeler
Sophomore - Ecology
Junior - Biochemistry and Cell Biology
I live in Joliet, MT, and have one younger and one
older brother and my parents. I am currently a
student at Western studying Ecology. My largest
passion is Jesus. I also enjoy anything outdoors,
including whitewater kayaking, climbing, ranching,
hunting, fly fishing, mountain biking, running, skiing
and mountaineering. In my downtime I also tie flies
for fishing, and do leather projects.
I’m originally from Salt Lake City, UT, but now
live in Gunnison. I am one of four children
(two boys and two girls). I am the younger
middle child and the only one living in
Colorado. My brothers live in Houston,
my sister goes to school in New York
City, and my parents live in Salt Lake.
Unlike many of my high school peers, I am
not married.
I first found out about Western from a postcard in
the mail that read “High Altitude, Low Cost”, and I
thought to myself, “Hey I like that combo. I should
check this place out.” After coming down for a tour
my mind was set on attending Western.
I personally have noticed, from talking with a number
of my peers at other secondary education institutions, that Western excels in student relations.
There is an incredible student-to-faculty ratio here.
I know all of my professors on a first-name basis
and each one will take the time to help me if I need
help. That is what I feel to be the biggest advantage of a Western education.
My top three most memorable experiences at
Western involve Bethany Baptist Church, the Whitewater Wilderness-Based Orientation Program and
the Western Mountain Rescue Team.
Bethany Baptist Church is an incredible asset to
the community, which seeks to teach everyone
about forgiveness through Jesus and reaches out
to students on campus. One great opportunity
for students is the free college lunch on Sundays
after service. This church group has provided me a
support network, close friends and lifelong companions at Western.
“I need to strive to do my part to help the University
achieve its goals.”
My very first experience at Western as a student
was being part of the Whitewater WildernessBased Orientation program. I will never forget it.
Getting the chance to learn a new skill with a bunch
of other new students provided a great challenge,
as well as a very fun introduction to college life.
12
I am currently pursuing degrees in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. After I graduate,
I plan to apply to nursing school and am
looking into becoming a nurse practitioner.
And when classes started, I already had a friend
group and felt confident meeting new people.
The Mountain Rescue Team’s support and encouragement to learn new hard skills and develop soft
skills provides me with a sense of belonging that is
hard to find anywhere else on campus.
There are a lot of things that make Western unique.
The small-town environment offers the chance
to be involved in things and develop close connections with others. The physical environment
surrounding the campus is unreal. The mountains,
rocks, rivers, lakes, forests, canyons—you name
it—it’s all amazing. And the community of motivated
people who are all drawn to “Gunny” because of
what it has to offer is another reason this place is
so unique.
In addition to everyone at Western, the entire Gunnison Valley offers a great accepting community to
get plugged in to. I would encourage everyone who
attends Western to connect to both the university
and to the community.
To me as a student, to Western Up means to be
thankful for the opportunities I have been given
and taking my education seriously. It means being
engaged in campus activities and in the classroom.
The University functions to educate its students
and give them unforgettable experiences. I am a
student and need to strive to do my part to help
the University achieve its goals, and help other
students do the same.
As a student, Western has given me an
incredibly personal education. All of my
teachers, friends, coworkers, employers
and even community members have
played an active role in giving me the type
of interactive and challenging education
I desire.
My first birthday away from home, my
entire dorm floor celebrated with me. One
of my friends even found a place to bake
a cake and we all sat in the hall and ate
cake. My roommate had all the people
on my floor sign a birthday card for me.
I felt really loved and
connected to a new
community at Western.
even through my worst races. I don’t know
if I have ever been so mentally and physically tired than I was after that first weekend of racing, but it was a glorious feeling
to have new friends, some good races,
tons of amazing memories, and to have
faced my fears and gone out there.
The Foundation’s Celebration of Giving
Banquet is my favorite fall event. After
speaking my sophomore year and helping
organize and prepare for it my junior year, I
have a real appreciation for what it means
to both be at Western and to receive such
amazing support from people all around
the nation. This event will be dear to me
for the rest of my life because every time I
go I am overwhelmed with gratitude for all
the incredible life events and provisions
that have led me here to this place and
this time. I remember that Western is the
perfect home for me and that nostalgia
brings immense joy and appreciation for
the life I have in Gunnison and at Western.
The location, the intimate community
on and off campus—not to mention the
amount of layering that is necessary to
survive the Gunnison winters—are a few
of the reasons Western is so unique. After speaking with many of my good friends
who have attended much larger universities, I’ve realized that the size of Western
has made an impact on my life that my
friends may never experience at their
schools. Western is and will always be a
source of joy and growth for me. I haven’t
just received an education at Western, I’ve
been welcomed into a new community,
one in which I will always be accepted.
When I see donations and support for the
University and Foundation, I feel cared for
and encouraged. The support of Western
and all that makes it tick shows the
importance of education and that there
are people who want
students to succeed.
Through the generosity
“Western Up is a challenge to not only give back and of others, I see that
provide for the future students, but also to go out into Western is more than a
school; it’s a treasure
the world and spread the caring, encouragement
that will influence the
decisions and turn of
and passion that defines Western.”
events that dictate my
life.
My first mountain bike
race with the Western
Cycling Team was quite
the adventure! We
spent a cold and drizzly
weekend camping and
racing in the mountains
outside of Fort Collins. Everyone on the
team helped me prepare and gave me
advice for my first races and cheered me
on throughout each lap.
It was the beginning of a very packed fall
season with bike races on the weekends
and school during the weekdays. Each
weekend, though, my teammates would
relieve my stress by making me laugh
uncontrollably and always supporting me
The Foundation has played a vital role in my
experience and ability to fund my studies.
The Foundation Scholars Program is the
gift that keeps on giving. Not only has
the Foundation supported me financially
through scholarships, but also through
employment.
The Foundation staff—Tom, Deb, Debbie
and Pam—have become sort of a second
family and are always supporting and encouraging me through all of the ups and
downs. The Foundation has helped turn
Western into my home.
To me, to Western Up means to live the
values that Western instills. When I see
Western Up, I see a challenge that goes
beyond being a Western student, alum or
employee. It’s a challenge to dig deep for
that desire that not only makes you want
to give back and provide for the future
Western students, but also to go out into
the world and spread the caring, encouragement and passion that defines Western.

At the 2013 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and
Field National Championships, Gabe Proctor won
the men’s 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter runs.
Proctor is only the second Mountaineer men’s outdoor track and field athlete to win two national

athlete to win a national championship in the men’s
1,500-meter run.
Barbara Szabo won her third consecutive high jump

Putting the Student in
Student-Athlete
The Western Athletic program strives to not only help studentathletes win on the playing field but also in the classroom.
In 2012-13, the Western Athletic Department had a 3.1 overall grade-point
average and had three Capital One Academic All-Americans. Western wrestling had the second highest GPA (3.334) in Division II. For the second year
in a row, the men’s outdoor track and field team was named the USTFCCCA
NCAA Division II Outdoor Scholar Team of the Year.
Volleyball, women’s indoor and women’s outdoor track and field earned
the inaugural Brechler Award, given out by the Rocky Mountain Athletic
Conference to the school with the highest team GPA in each sport. Western
football, women’s cross country, wrestling and men’s indoor track and field
finished with the second highest team GPAs.
“Our volunteers in the MAA and beyond, as well as our coaches, staff and
student athletes, are extremely committed, and this results in a great
product we call ‘Building the Champion Leaders of Tomorrow,’” said
Dr. Greg Waggoner, Western Athletic Director.
“I am proud of the balance our program has with regard to academics,
service, engagement, leadership and competition with integrity,” continued
Waggoner. “In the end, we are working hard to ‘do it the right way’, and I am
confident that Mountaineer Nation will soon see some of our most visible
programs that have struggled gain noticeable ground competitively.”

The new Mad Jack. Streamlined, modern
and more reflective of the spirit of Western.
Mad Jack Gets
Rave REviews
A new Mountaineer mascot design was unveiled at
the start of the 2013-14 academic year. The oncampus unveiling event drew hundreds of students,
staff, faculty and supporters, who enthusiastically
gave the new design a collective thumbs up!
“Our new ‘W’ logo is the visual mark that defines
Western, but the Mountaineer embodies our spirit,” said Gary Pierson, Dean of Students and Vice
President of Student Affairs.
Noting the careful market research that resulted
in both the new “W” and Mad Jack design, Interim
President Brad Baca said, “This new look will take
us in a bold new direction that embodies athletics
and academics.”
The new Mad Jack design, as well as new and
modern uniform designs, will be incorporated
into the Western athletic program throughout
the 2013-14 season.

A Half-Century of Support
During the 2013-14 academic year, the Mountaineer Athletic
Association (MAA) will be celebrating 50 years of supporting
student-athletes.
The MAA began as the Century Club in 1963-64. Membership
fees were only $100, which also was what a student-athlete
paid for tuition and fees. It was renamed the Mountaineer Century Club in 1989-90, and then adopted the current Mountaineer
Athletic Association title in ‘95.
Over the past 50 years, the Century Club and MAA have
raised millions of dollars for student-athletes, raising more than
$308,000 last year alone.
In addition to MAA fundraising, Western Athletics produced
more than $1 million in private revenue sources for the ninth
straight year. Western continues to be a leader among NCAA
Division II public institutions in private fundraising.

“It’s important to Western Up because,
in these times of fiscal scarcity, we need
to fight for our alma mater and make sure
everyone understands how exceptional and
irreplaceable Western is.” - Travis Berry (’92), Foundation Board

Heritage Society Spotlight:
Sandy Read (1951-2013)
After moving to Crested Butte, Sandra
Lynch Read soon realized the important and positive impact Western had
on the entire Gunnison Valley.
To help strengthen that impact, she
established the “W” Mountain Minority Scholarship. And then took her
support of Western even further by
serving as a member of the Western
Foundation Board.
While on the Board, Sandy made an
estate gift of $50,000 in her will to
the Foundation for unrestricted use.
And after moving back east to Dorset, Vermont, she
served on the boards of The Dorset Theater Festival
and The Dorset Players.
At the time of her generous $50,000 estate gift to
the Foundation, Sandy said, “Without unrestricted
giving the University is not able to provide some of
the more exciting and vibrant offerings and projects
that draw students and faculty to Western from all
over the country.”
With gratitude for their dedication and support,
and joy from having known them, the Board
recognizes the following Western alumni and
employees who passed away in 2013.
Sandy passed away on July 6, 2013, at the age
of 61, surrounded by her loving family and friends.
“Sandy was a joy to know, and she brought joy to so
many of our students through her generosity,” said
Tom Burggraf, Executive Director of the Western
State Foundation.
Service to and support of others,
however, was nothing new to Sandy.
While living in New York, she served
on the board of the Joffrey Ballet.
“Even though she was not an alumna, she loved
Western as if she was. To include this gift to the
Foundation in her will, identifies Western with the
people and institutions Sandy cared most about.”
Burggraf said.
In Crested Butte, she was active
in The Crested Butte Theater.
“That feeling was mutual. We will always gratefully
remember our friend.”

Heritage Society Spotlight:
David McEntire
While this article is focused on David
McEntire (‘80), he’s quick to point out
that wasn’t the intended outcome of
his planned gift to the Western State
Colorado University Foundation.
“It’s not about me. It’s about Western’s
future,” he says.
Supporting, championing and helping
guide the future of the University he
loves is nothing new to David. Since
2006, he’s served as a Western
Foundation Board Member, and is
currently the Board’s Immediate PastPresident. Which brings up another
motivation driving his donation.
28
“I’d like my planned gift to begin a legacy of former,
as well as, future Board Presidents making similar
donations,” he says. “This is about laying the foundation to build a better future for Western.”
And building is a topic David would know something
about. The 1980 Western grad, father of four, and
husband to wife, Sarah, is a veteran home builder
of more than 33-plus years. Currently, David is the
President of Amstar Homes and has developed and
owns or manages multiple Las Vegas communities.
He’s also a member of the Southern Nevada Home
Builders Association and the Church at Las Vegas
Board of Directors, in addition to serving on the
Western Foundation Board.
“On the Board, we’ve embraced the theme Western
Up,” David says. “To me, that means giving back
a portion of what you received from Western. To
Western Up is to give of your time, talent or dollars.”
Or, in David’s case, all three.
Teacher, school principal, community leader and philanthropist, Roberta
Armstrong Barr (‘55) of Durango, CO, passed away on December 13, 2013.
She was 99.
Along with her husband, Roberta founded the Robert M. Barr and Roberta
Armstrong Barr Foundation, which gives scholarships to students preparing
to become teachers at both Western and Fort Lewis College in Durango.
Roberta earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Education and Master’s in Public
School Administration from Western before starting a 40-plus year teaching
career in Colorado’s Animas River Valley area, where she lived and worked
most of her life.
Roberta’s impact on education and involvement in the community was honored and recognized throughout her life. La Plata County (Colorado) named the
bridge near her home the Barr Bridge, and Animas Valley Elementary School
named the trail that circles it the Roberta Barr Trail. She was named La Plata
County Homemaker of the Year twice, and was the grand marshal of the Fiesta
Days Parade.
An active member of the Animas Valley Grange, she was awarded her 65-year
pin in June and was named an Outstanding Granger by the Colorado Grange in
2009. An avid gardener, Roberta’s garden was featured in Better Homes and
Gardens’ Flower Gardening issue.

In Memoriam
Adrian Dorzweiler
(1928 – 2013)
Emeritus Catalog Librarian at Western for 31 years,
Adrian Dorzweiler, passed away March 10, 2013,
at Gunnison Valley Hospital from natural causes.
He was 84.
Born in Hays, Kansas, he earned a degree in
Literature from Regis College in Denver, and a
Masters in Library Science from the Denver School
of Librarianship.
Adrian—known to all as “Dortz”—joined Western
as a librarian in 1957. A longtime Western employee and Gunnison resident, he was dedicated
to both the University and the town.
He is especially remembered for his roles in
countless productions of the Webster Players,
Gunnison’s local theatre group, as well as Western
productions. But perhaps he is best known by
Gunnison residents as Santa Claus, a role he
faithfully played every holiday season for more than
50 years, never once charging for an appearance.
His commitment to Western was passed down to
family members—five of his children, four of their
spouses and seven grandchildren have graduated
from Western.
He is survived by 10 children, Anne, Norman (Theresa), Paul, Ruth Logan, Steve (Sharon), Timothy,
Vincent, Vivian, William, Yvonne (Todd) Marshall;
their mother Teresa, sisters Mary Brown and Alma
(Bill) Young, 13 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Patricia Manzanares-Gonzales
Western’s Provost and Vice-President for Academic Affairs,
Dr. Patricia Manzanares-Gonzales, passed away on June 8, 2013,
after a courageous battle with cancer.
Prior to serving Western, Patricia was the Dean of the College
of Education at Western New Mexico University for seven years,
and a professor and administrator at New Mexico Highlands
University for 16 years. Her educational teaching career
spanned more than 30 years ranging from the elementary to
the doctoral level.
Patricia is survived by her husband of 36 years, Dr. Felipe
Gonzales, and their children Pilar Gonzales (Joshua) Wennrich
and Vidal Gonzales, as well as beloved godchildren, numerous
colleagues, former students and close friends.
Arthur “Skip” Kelly, Jr.
Former Music instructor at Western, Anne Abbott
Ash, of Gunnison, passed away on September 29,
2013. She was 83.
A lifelong outdoor sports enthusiast and successful businessman, Skip was the loving husband of
Stephanie and proud father of Meaghan and Melissa Kelly.
A longtime supporter of Western, Anne established
the Rodney Ash String Scholarship to provide
assistance to Western students majoring in Music,
and to celebrate the memory of her late husband,
Rodney, who served as Chairman of the Music
Division at Western.
Skip was known to be an outstanding athlete,
sports enthusiast, mentor and friend, and was
known for his positive attitude, magnetic personality
and good humor.
Additionally, Anne and her two children established the Rodney P. Ash Memorial Music Award,
which is given each year to a graduating senior
who is an outstanding musician.
Anne’s interest and participation in music was
almost lifelong. She graduated from the prestigious Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New
York; earned a Master’s Degree in Voice at Indiana
University; and continued her studies in Vienna,
Austria, at the Academy of Music, where her husband was on a Fulbright scholarship.
Anne and her husband arrived in Gunnison in
1960. In addition to teaching at Western, Anne
taught piano and voice to generations of Gunnison
children. She sang in numerous choral and opera
productions over the years and, with her husband,
led the Gunnisoin Choir and formed the Peninsula
United Music Association in Gig Harbor, WA.

family by his side. He was 60.
Anne Abbott Ash (1930 – 2013)
“Skip Kelly was the most fun, most moral and
ethical man I’ve ever known,” said Steve Reynolds,
(’78), a member of the Foundation Board and
Charles Patrick Stark
She was active in the Daughters of the American
Revolution organization, the Gunnision Arts Center,
the Gunnison Observatory, the Pioneer Museum
and at her church, Mt. Calvary Lutheran.
Anne is survived by her son Eric, a retired Air Force
Colonel and university dean, her daughter Suzanne
Romero, Denver University graduate, professional
singer and wife of the Hon. Michael E. Romero,
a federal judge; and her grandsons Austin and
Andy Ash.
(1958 – 2013)
Program Advisory Board.
“I can’t count the number of times that he had
broken the mold in our business and approached
a land and mineral situation in a new way that
brought success where others had failed to find
a solution. He was a great friend of mine and I will
sorely miss his smile and wit,” Reynolds said.
In addition to his wife of 30 years and their children,
Skip is survived by his parents, Arthur Brulatour
Kelly, Sr., and Sheila McCabe Kelly, his aunt Jane
McCabe, his sisters Soozie Kelly, Jeannie Kelly
(Tom) Kulinski, Cathy Kelly (Tom) Habicht; brother
Steve (Karen) Kelly, and many nieces and nephews.
(1969 – 2013)
Former psychology instructor at Western, Charles
Patrick Stark, passed away May, 10, 2013, at his
home in St. George, Utah. He was 44.
Patrick received his doctorate degree in Behavioral
Neuroscience at the University of Colorado in 2001.
Prior to his passing, Patrick was an Associate Professor at Dixie State College in St. George.
An avid outdoorsmen, Patrick enjoyed rock and ice
climbing, camping, fly fishing, rafting, hiking, skiing
and spending time on his sailboat. He loved to
read and play guitar and discuss philosophy. He
loved his two children and his girlfriend, Aryssa
Fairless. He taught both children to ski and took
them “climbing” from an early age.
Patrick is survived by his children, Wulfric and
Wilder Stark of Gunnison; his mother, Patricia
C. Stark of Longmont, Colorado; and his sister
Allison V. Stark of Evanston, Illinois.
