LMU-2012 Honor-Roll - Lincoln Memorial University
Honor Roll OF DONORS 2010 – 2011 Honor Roll of Donors 2010-2011 From the President B. James Dawson, EdD I n August as we began a new year at Lincoln Memorial University, we also reflected on 2010-2011 and its incredible impact on our institution. Growth continued in so many areas - certainly in our physical plant but also organizationally, academically and fiscally. Each of these areas are interdependent, and none of them would enjoy such success without our donors. In order to deliver the services that are vital to a quality educational experience, we must have people. Lincoln Memorial University is one of the largest employers in Claiborne County. Additionally, we have numerous employees at our 11 extended learning sites.These same employees are fiscally-minded and attentive to the budgeting process from beginning to end. New technology, as well as effective use of existing technology, has aided in the budget process. New programs have emerged and will continue to emerge as we complete construction of the state-of-the-art Math and Science Center scheduled to open Fall 2012. With every new campus improvement comes a new opportunity to enrich the lives of our students. The area that is the most talked about – and rightly so – is our physical plant. Perhaps I am prejudiced, but I don’t believe you will find a more beautiful college campus in the country. Nestled in these picturesque mountains is a university that was envisioned by a great leader and continues to prosper because of great leadership. Our Board of Trustees has taken the vision of Mr. Lincoln literally and insists that we follow a course to sustain our mission and purpose.You, too, have shown your devotion to the worthy cause by continuing to give of your time, your talents and your dollars. Please accept our sincerest appreciation for your generous support as we continue this journey of educating tomorrow’s great leaders. We hope that your desire to partner with us will remain steadfast. “The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.” -Lincoln’s annual message to Congress, December 1, 1862 Honor Roll of Donors 2010-2011 | Page 1 Why Philanthropy Matters From the Chairman of the Board O. V. “Pete” DeBusk, ‘65 L incoln Memorial University has experienced tremendous growth over the past few years. We are enormously proud of our medical school, the LMUDeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine that opened its doors in 2007, and our law school, the LMU-John J. Duncan School of Law, that welcomed its first class in 2009. In progress is a new facility that will improve undergraduate math and science offerings. All of these things are possible because you, our alumni and friends, have continued to support us despite the tough economic times. As a result of the growth in academic programs, our on-campus population is increasing as well, creating an immediate need for additional campus housing. In LMU’s 115-year history vision, foresight and leadership have played important roles in the founding, growth and success of the University. It was LMU’s namesake, President Abraham Lincoln, who first challenged people to see this great institution when he pointed to a map and told General O.O. Howard to go there and do something for the loyal people of Appalachia. And now LMU’s leadership is again challenging students, faculty, staff and the community to see the vibrant future of this career-path University. Because of you and your support, we’ve seen our enrollment grow by nearly 60%; we’ve opened the doors to Tennessee’s newest medical and law schools; and we’ve seen those new programs grow even in their infancy with the addition of the Physician Assistant Program at LMU-DCOM and a full-time day program at LMU-DSOL. LMU is literally moving mountains as it continues to develop its 1,000-acre campus in Harrogate. The nearly 140,000 square foot building that will be the home for math, science and nursing classrooms and labs is well underway. It will also include space for student and faculty research. The new programs and facilities have had an even more dramatic effect on our undergraduate enrollment. Our University housing was at capacity for fall, and we continue to push our dining facilities to the limit. The time to act is now. We appreciate your continued support despite the daunting times, and we hope you can help us solve our housing crunch. Please contact us today to see how you can be a part of our exciting growth.

The children were bused to WalMart in Middlesboro for the RoHo Fishing Club’s annual shopping spree where they were paired up with 77 athletes, coaches and staff from LMU’s athletics program, along with volunteers from other local banks and organizations. The volunteers helped each child spend $150 -- $40 for toys and $110 for clothing – which was raised by a fishing tournament that RoHo puts on each year.

Honor Roll of Donors 2010-2011 | Page 29 Planned Giving LMU’s Bridge Builder’s Heritage Society recognizes those who have given through estate planning. Planned giving may be defined as a method of supporting non-profits and charities that enables philanthropic individuals or donors to make larger gifts than they could make from their income. While some planned gifts provide a life-long income to the donor, others use estate and tax planning techniques to provide for charity and other heirs in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the donor's estate.Therefore, a planned gift is any major gift made in lifetime or at death as part of a donor’s overall financial and/or estate planning. Sam Spencer Lakeland, Fla. Class of 1940 CDR L. Robert Langley Sumter, S.C. Class of 1950 Sam Spencer, retired produce broker, is totally committed to his alma mater. As trustee emeritus, he continues to promote LMU’s reputation as an institution of higher learning in order to ensure its continued success. The American people are best known for their volunteer spirit and for aiding causes in which they believe. As a direct result of this volunteer spirit, all of our lives are improved. One approach that he suggests alumni and friends might consider is to purchase a life insurance policy, pay periodic premiums and name the University as owner and beneficiary. Cash values, if any, belong to LMU and policy proceeds are payable to the University upon the purchaser’s death. Since life insurance benefits are many times the amount of the premium paid, the generosity is multiplied many times. And, per the IRS, premiums are full tax-deductible in the year paid. Life insurance may help you satisfy your desire to help LMU without depleting your financial resources. The same is true when you are choosing a charitable organization to include in your financial planning. Making a gift to LMU can go hand-in-hand with preserving the economic security of this great institution. CDR L. Robert Langley accomplished these designations through his initial efforts and studies at LMU, and he has personally chosen an irrevocable trust as one vehicle for making a longrange gift to the University. His desire is to give back a portion of what LMU gave him before and after he came out of the U.S. Navy. You may choose one of several ways to benefit Lincoln Memorial University. By having your attorney revise your will or add a simple amendment, you can make a gift of a dollar amount, a specific property a percentage of your estate or the remainder after providing for loved ones. This information is intended to help guide you through your estate planning process. More information is available for you and/or your advisors on request. Lincoln Memorial University | Page 30 Building a Living Legacy The Bridge Builder An old man, going a lone highway, Came at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm, vast and deep and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim; The sullen stream had no fears for him. But he turned when safe on the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide. “Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near, “You are wasting strength with building here: Your journey will end with the ending day, You never again must pass this way. You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide – Why build you the bridge at the eventide?” The builder lifted his old gray head: “Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said, “There followeth after me today A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been naught to me To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.” ~ by Will Allen Dromgoole, circa 1900~ Honor Roll of Donors 2010-2011 | Page 31 Did We Miss Your Name? If you do not find your name on a list, one of several things may have happened: • We made a mistake. We regret that errors occur in lists such as these, and appreciate your correcting us if this is the case. • You didn’t make your gift during the 2010-2011 fiscal year. Our fiscal year runs from July 1-June 30. Please check your records as to the date of your gift(s). • Are you sure you made a gift? The many appeals from organizations and institutions make it easy to miss an opportunity. We hope that Lincoln Memorial University is among those worthy causes at the top of your list for sharing.
