Ames won the competition to sing the

from Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi.
Ames came to a singing career follow

piano when I was 13. I enrolled at the
University of Oregon as a piano major

her to enter the UM’s graduate
program, even though she did not have
a music degree. She won a teaching
fellowship and taught a year, building
confidence by appearing before students
in an unaccustomed role.

s co-anchor of the Montana Evening
Edition on MTPR, the local NPR station,
senior Natalie Neumann is learning broadcast journalism from the inside out.
“For the past two years,” she says, “I have
delivered the evening news to some
60,000 listeners.” And that’s only half the
story. She also produces weekly news
and feature packages for KBGA college
radio. Neumann comes to reporting
naturally. “I always enjoyed talking with
people. I always had to be the first to
know.” On the Dean’s list for the past six
semesters, Neumann is making news
herself. She anchors and introduces stories
on KECI- NBC weekend news and
hopes to snag an internship as capitol
reporter next spring when the state
Legislature convenes in Helena. A broadcast journalism/political science
major, Neumann sees this assignment
as a perfect 10.

“With our study of the effects of smoke on people and their environment, we
are using our intellectual capital to help citizens and their land in other parts of
the state. We receive synergistic support from the state, federal
government, and private sources; each helps the other two. In turn,
this structure aids us in hiring the best people to compete for
dollars and do better work.”

A painterly life
played out in
digits.
W
hile many
people enter their
thoughts on a
computer keyboard,
Amber Bushnell
thinks in digital
images. “While studying traditional art and
design, I discovered the possibilities
digital art offers and instantly fell in love with
the concept.” After she finished her
bachelor’s in radio and television, with a
minor in media arts, UM established
a master’s program that allows her to major
in integrated digital media. “The professors didn’t make me stay in their track. They
gave me something to run with. They
push you to expand your talent.” Bushnell
is grateful for her experience and praises
the faculty.

Continuing to contribute
to campus life.
Y
ou needn’t tell a Greek alumnus or alumna the advantages
of pledging and belonging. They recognize that the experience
offers a home away from home for members, fosters lifelong
friendships, and facilitates networking.
Today, chapters continue to emphasize leadership skills, scholarship and, in particular, philanthropy/service through a variety
of programs. Another plus is that the campus Greek community
has close relationships with alumni that can help undergraduates find jobs and offer introductions to members, whether in
Missoula or other cities and states.
“Only 250 undergraduates,” says Candy Holt, interim Greek life
advisor, “currently participate in societies. That’s less than 2.5
percent of the student body compared to more than 30 percent
of the student body in the mid-1960s.” Holt puts the numbers in
perspective: Of the Greeks, 41 percent contributed during the
campaign years. Greeks have a track record of being among the
best donors and volunteers to the University. Voluntary boards,
such as those of the UM Alumni Association and the UM
Foundation, count more than 80 percent participation by Greek
alumni/alumnae.”
In reaction to a decline in participation over the last several
years, in 2004 fraternity and sorority alumni/alumnae formed the
Greek Alumni Task Force. The group has developed a program
to rejuvenate the system, which President George Dennison and
administrative colleagues support, recognizing the volunteer and
financial energy these alumni have offered through mentoring
and scholarships.
Meanwhile, members of the Greek community pursue philanthropic goals, having participated in fundraising efforts to benefit
nonprofits such as the American Cancer Society, YMCA, Red
Cross, County Humane Society, and Montana Food Bank Network. In 2007-08, Greeks donated $10,100 to various organizations, averaging $35.45 a member. Since 1999, the average GPA
has remained at 2.50 or better.
National sororities at UM include Alpha Phi, Delta Gamma, Kappa
Alpha Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma; fraternities include
Kappa Sigma, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu and
Sigma Phi Epsilon.

Motivating giving.
Starting at the root
of the matter.
“P
eople give to students, they give to ideas, they give to memory,” states a recent report
in The Chronicle of Higher Education. “The idea of enabling a young person to go forth
and do well is a powerful notion.” In this spirit, the UM Foundation encouraged members
of the Classes of 2007 and 2008 to give back to their alma mater – even before they
received their diplomas. And, according
to Nick Ehnot, chair of the 2008
Senior Challenge, the effort was a good
first step toward instilling in all seniors
the spirit of philanthropy.

Building loyalty

T
hat’s the goal of the Grizzly GOLD
Society. “We contact new graduates in
late summer asking that they pledge
$100 annually for each year they’ve been
out of school,” says Tom Hayes ’99,
vice president, D.A. Davidson & Co., Great
Falls, Mont. For example, if they’ve
been out two years, they’d give $200 and
the next year, $300. “The goal is to
encourage them to reach the President’s
Club giving level of $1,000 annually.
The UM Foundation hopes this plan will
lead to a pattern of giving – one that
inspires a lifetime of supporting the University. And nurturing
the culture of philanthropy
is a significant strategy
in ensuring that UM continues to serve Montanans
and create and maintain programs vital to
the growth of the
state. Graduates Of
the Last Decade
spells GOLD for
everyone involved.
