MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT<br />

The 2010-11 fiscal year was another landmark period for<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong>, as our four newest<br />

colleges – Dental Medicine, Optometry, Podiatric Medicine,<br />

and the Graduate College <strong>of</strong> Biomedical <strong>Sciences</strong> – solidified<br />

their foothold at the <strong>University</strong> and throughout health<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essions education, welcoming their second year <strong>of</strong><br />

classes and embarking on new endeavors.<br />

The end <strong>of</strong> fiscal 2010-11 also put the finishing touches on<br />

COMP-Northwest, which held its Convocation and white<br />

coat ceremonies in July 2011, ushering in a new era for<br />

<strong>Western</strong>U by establishing a presence in the Northwest<br />

through an osteopathic medical campus in Lebanon,<br />

Oregon.<br />

During the year, the <strong>University</strong> also deepened and broadened its research commitments, and completed<br />

the first full year <strong>of</strong> operation for the Patient Care Center, which represents an innovative opportunity<br />

for <strong>Western</strong>U to realize educational, community health, and fiscal returns from patient care.<br />

Throughout this growth and change – which is a constant at our <strong>University</strong> – our financial operations<br />

and outlook have remained consistently solid, thanks to the outstanding foresight and operational<br />

execution <strong>of</strong> our Provost/COO, our CFO, and by administration and staff throughout our institution.<br />

Our net assets once again grew during the year, increasing a robust 4.6% in an economic climate that has<br />

challenged any growth at all. This ability, year in and year out, to sustain ourselves financially has<br />

allowed <strong>Western</strong>U the flexibility to innovate educationally and operationally, and as a legacy <strong>of</strong> our<br />

institution is as critical as the health-care pr<strong>of</strong>essionals we produce and the culture we have created.<br />

Our supporters, sponsors and friends are part <strong>of</strong> that legacy, as well, and are essential not only to<br />

achieving great things today, but also to planning for tomorrow. I thank you for your partnership with<br />

<strong>Western</strong>U in this grand adventure, and look forward to the adventures to come.<br />

Philip Pumerantz, PhD<br />

President<br />

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN<br />

The 2010-11 year has been a period <strong>of</strong> consolidation,<br />

bringing together five years <strong>of</strong> intense growth. During this<br />

period, refinements and adjustments have been studied and<br />

applied to enhance the value and reputation <strong>of</strong> <strong>Western</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong>.<br />

Though the year was full <strong>of</strong> economic, political and cultural<br />

challenges, our institutional stability has more than<br />

survived. It has, indeed, succeeded in enhancing its<br />

position locally, regionally and nationally.<br />

In the process, an amazingly talented team <strong>of</strong> stakeholders<br />

has invested its dedication and passion in an institution<br />

headed for a position <strong>of</strong> historic significance in health care<br />

education.<br />

This time also has been one <strong>of</strong> reflection on my own contributions to the effort, after 35 years <strong>of</strong><br />

association with <strong>Western</strong>U. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to participate by <strong>of</strong>fering my<br />

experience and what I have learned in a long career in osteopathic association management. It has been<br />

valuable to focus on polishing every aspect <strong>of</strong> methodology, practices and planning needed to create a<br />

platform from which to launch our next period <strong>of</strong> growth and improvement.<br />

MESSAGE FROM THE PROVOST<br />

AND CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong>’ financial soundness<br />

has never been in better evidence than it was in 2010-11, as<br />

the agility and innovation made possible by a strong fiscal<br />

outlook allowed the <strong>University</strong> to deepen its commitment<br />

to research and community health initiatives that will help<br />

<strong>Western</strong>U diversify while remaining true to its core mission.<br />

On the research front, the Graduate College <strong>of</strong> Biomedical<br />

<strong>Sciences</strong> welcomed Michel Baudry, PhD, as its dean. Dr.<br />

Baudry obtained a PhD in biochemistry at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

Paris VII in 1977, under the direction <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essors J.C.<br />

Schwartz and J.P. Changeux, two <strong>of</strong> France’s most<br />

distinguished neurobiologists. He then worked with<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Gary Lynch at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> California, Irvine, and in collaboration with Dr. Lynch<br />

developed a biochemical theory for learning and memory that remains one <strong>of</strong> the most widely accepted<br />

theories in the field.<br />

Dr. Baudry is an internationally known neuroscientist, is one <strong>of</strong> the 100 most-cited neuroscientists in the<br />

world, has served on numerous National Science Foundation and National Institutes <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> study<br />

sections, and is reviewing manuscripts for a wide range <strong>of</strong> journals. He is an outstanding addition to the<br />

<strong>Western</strong>U family and to our research efforts.<br />

<strong>Western</strong>U’s longstanding commitment to community health initiatives expanded in 2010-11 to include<br />

diabetes, as the <strong>Western</strong> Diabetes Institute was established and took up residence in the Patient Care<br />

Center. This patient-centered integrated practice unit (IPU) is dedicated to diabetes and its adverse effects,<br />

with assessments and plans <strong>of</strong> care developed using a team approach. The center’s staff includes<br />

specialists from all over <strong>Western</strong>U, who collaborate on research initiatives as well as patient care.<br />

These additions would not have been possible without the <strong>University</strong>’s sound financial performance, the<br />

strength <strong>of</strong> our academic programs and <strong>of</strong> our faculty, who are committed to our mission and strategic<br />

plan, and the support <strong>of</strong> our many friends and sponsors. With these resources as allies, <strong>Western</strong>U will<br />

continue to innovate in the health care and health education arenas, and our students’ experience will be<br />

enhanced by these efforts.<br />

MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF<br />

FINANCIAL OFFICER<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong>’ long-term<br />

financial perspective is one that includes maintaining a<br />

strong balance sheet through all types <strong>of</strong> economic<br />

cycles, solid asset quality, sufficient capital, and<br />

diversifying a mix <strong>of</strong> core business strengths. The<br />

<strong>University</strong>’s perspective is not complicated; however, it<br />

requires consistent and disciplined execution. Our longterm<br />

perspective has taught us that change will always<br />

come, so we prepare for it by building our institution and<br />

its ability to thrive, no matter the circumstances.<br />

This past year demonstrated the successful balance <strong>of</strong><br />

enhancing the <strong>University</strong>’s core educational operations,<br />

the continued growth <strong>of</strong> new educational programs, and<br />

the continued strength <strong>of</strong> our financial position. To<br />

sustain this level <strong>of</strong> performance going forward, the <strong>University</strong> will strategically plan to appropriately<br />

position itself to address the challenges and opportunities that will be brought about by changes to the<br />

nation’s health care systems. The <strong>University</strong> continues to broaden its research and technology base, has<br />

successfully accepted its charter class <strong>of</strong> medical students in Lebanon, Oregon, and is realizing returns<br />

from its investment in the growth <strong>of</strong> its community patient care service endeavors.<br />

During the 2011 year, total assets grew to $242,174,954, representing an increase <strong>of</strong> $4,657,513, with<br />

consolidated revenues up $14,658,695. More important, the <strong>University</strong>’s total net assets increased by<br />

4.6%. Consequently, the <strong>University</strong> enters 2012 with optimism about continuing its stewardship<br />

qualities, combining vision, entrepreneurial spirit, and an unflagging attention to financial<br />

fundamentals.<br />

In many ways, the fiscal year ended 2011 was a year in which <strong>Western</strong>U’s financial identity was further<br />

solidified as a durable, sustainable growth university. A university that students, faculty, staff and<br />

community can depend on year in and year out.<br />

MESSAGE FROM THE<br />

SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT<br />

Once upon a time, Dr. Philip Pumerantz had a vision <strong>of</strong> a<br />

university and what it could be. In reality, that time and place<br />

were neither far away nor long ago. It was 35 years ago and<br />

started with 36 students.<br />

As you read this, the 35th Annual Report <strong>of</strong> <strong>Western</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong>, I suspect you will be as awed as I am by what<br />

has been accomplished. When you look at a university that<br />

now has more than a million square feet <strong>of</strong> space, more than<br />

3,300 students, 1,000 family-wage jobs, and has an economic<br />

impact in the greater Pomona, California, area <strong>of</strong> close to half a<br />

billion dollars, this is well beyond what Collins and Porras<br />

called “bold, hairy, audacious goals.” And now the College <strong>of</strong><br />

Osteopathic Medicine <strong>of</strong> the Pacific-Northwest is another chapter in a vision that knows no bounds.<br />

The Annual Report clearly shows this past year has produced a number <strong>of</strong> victories and successes for the<br />

Advancement team that includes awarding more than $700,000 in student scholarships.<br />

The willingness <strong>of</strong> our friends to help us support students in each <strong>of</strong> the nine colleges cannot be overstated. With<br />

more than 12,000 applicants for the 1,100 seats in first-year classes, the issue is not about finding students. What we<br />

face are social and health policy questions. Students who borrow large amounts <strong>of</strong> money tend not to go into<br />

primary care disciplines because <strong>of</strong> concern about paying back the loans. There also is the reluctance <strong>of</strong> students from<br />

less economically advantaged environments to undertake large loans and, rather, to go into fields that require less<br />

borrowing, regardless <strong>of</strong> ultimate economic success.<br />

As you read the Annual Report and enjoy the successes the university has achieved, I hope you will remember that<br />

we always have students who need assistance. Scholarship dollars help us recruit outstanding students, and reduce<br />

the indebtedness and increase the options <strong>of</strong> students upon their graduation. Scholarship dollars are critically<br />

important to achieving the vision <strong>of</strong> what <strong>Western</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong> can be. To paraphrase Daniel<br />

Burnham, the architect behind the 1892 Chicago World’s Fair, “Dream no small dreams. They lack the power to stir<br />

men’s souls.”<br />

Hopefully, our friends and supporters will continue to “dream no small dreams” and help us continue to scale ever<br />

higher heights. For all past and future support, we are truly grateful.<br />

Thomas G. Fox, PhD<br />

Senior Vice President<br />

A GUARANTEED INCOME YOU CAN’T OUTLIVE<br />

YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN AT WESTERNU!<br />

A CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY will provide you with guaranteed payments. For the rest<br />

<strong>of</strong> your life, <strong>Western</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong> will send you a check every 90 days or<br />

once a year. While the economy may rise or decline, your payments are GUARANTEED.<br />

You can count on this because we back our commitment with the full assets <strong>of</strong> <strong>Western</strong>U.<br />

The IRS favors these arrangements and provides the donor with a<br />

charitable deduction. The total amount <strong>of</strong> money you will receive is<br />

determined in advance and depends on several things, including<br />

your age, whether you want to include a second income recipient,<br />

and the amount you give to establish the contract. For example, if<br />

you’re 65 years old, you’ll receive more than someone 10 years<br />

younger who gives the same amount.<br />

For the rest <strong>of</strong> your life, you will enjoy the satisfaction that your<br />

charitable gift annuity will enable us to educate future generations<br />

<strong>of</strong> health care providers who will save lives and change lives.<br />

AMERISOURCEBERGEN<br />

Fosters Interest in Independent<br />

Pharmacy Ownership<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong>’ annual gala<br />

A Tribute to Caring in November 2011 honored<br />

AmerisourceBergen Corporation with the<br />

Corporate Humanitarian Award, recognizing the<br />

company’s continuing support <strong>of</strong> the College <strong>of</strong><br />

Pharmacy.<br />

AmerisourceBergen has been a great partner, said<br />

College <strong>of</strong> Pharmacy Dean Daniel Robinson,<br />

PharmD.<br />

Neighbor Pharmacy/Institute for Community<br />

Pharmacy Scholarship Golf Classic, which will<br />

celebrate its 10th year on June 13, 2012, and has<br />

raised more than $500,000 in scholarships over<br />

that decade. AmerisourceBergen is also establishing<br />

a $25,000 endowed scholarship at <strong>Western</strong>U, and<br />

provided funding for <strong>Western</strong>U’s Patient Care<br />

Center Pharmacy, which is part <strong>of</strong> the Good<br />

Neighbor Pharmacy Network.<br />

Good Neighbor Pharmacy is a network <strong>of</strong> more<br />

than 3,700 independently owned and operated<br />

community pharmacies across the United States<br />

and Puerto Rico. Good Neighbor Pharmacy is part<br />

<strong>of</strong> a program <strong>of</strong>fered by AmerisourceBergen, one <strong>of</strong><br />

the world's largest pharmaceutical services<br />

companies serving the United States, Canada and<br />

selected global markets.<br />

Mike Quick, National Vice President, Good<br />

Neighbor Pharmacy Development, was introduced<br />

to <strong>Western</strong>U about a dozen years ago, and he<br />

continues to support the College <strong>of</strong> Pharmacy, its<br />

students and the university as a whole. He joined<br />

the <strong>Western</strong>U Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees in 2004.<br />

“We’re very grateful for the long-lasting<br />

relationship, and students have benefitted<br />

tremendously,” he said. “The scholarships that our<br />

students receive help those that want to focus on<br />

independent community pharmacy.<br />

AmerisourceBergen has been very focused on<br />

helping us achieve success for that group <strong>of</strong><br />

pharmacists.”<br />

Amerisource Bergen sponsors the annual Good<br />

“I believe for the future <strong>of</strong> independent pharmacy,<br />

we need young people to come out and take over<br />

independent pharmacies so they’re not sold to a<br />

chain,” Quick said. “I have true love and passion<br />

for <strong>Western</strong>U - what they do, how they do it, the<br />

quality <strong>of</strong> their deans, and the quality <strong>of</strong> the young<br />

pharmacists graduating.”<br />

Good Neighbor Pharmacy wants to ensure that<br />

students graduate from pharmacy school with<br />

knowledge <strong>of</strong> how to run a business and an interest<br />

in owning their own pharmacy.<br />

“It was a big priority <strong>of</strong> our company to make sure<br />

14 <strong>Western</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong>


that we were getting education in the pharmacy<br />

schools about independent pharmacy ownership,”<br />

Quick said.<br />

AmerisourceBergen provides $10,000 scholarships<br />

to College <strong>of</strong> Pharmacy students, totaling more<br />

than $500,000 to date.<br />

“We always felt if we made the scholarships big and<br />

important, we would be putting emphasis on the<br />

importance <strong>of</strong> independence,” Quick said.<br />

Interest in independent pharmacy ownership has<br />

increased in recent years, said Jesse Martinez,<br />

PharmD, College <strong>of</strong> Pharmacy Vice Dean,<br />

Academic Diversity and Development. He started<br />

an entrepreneurial business ownership elective<br />

course seven years ago with eight students, and<br />

now interest exceeds the class cap <strong>of</strong> about 30<br />

students.<br />

This 16-week advanced elective course requires as<br />

the main project that each student develop a<br />

business plan for a start-up pharmacy or a<br />

pharmacy that is acquired. All <strong>of</strong> the recipients <strong>of</strong><br />

the Good Neighbor Pharmacy and Institute for<br />

Community Pharmacy Scholarship have taken<br />

Martinez’s elective course.<br />

“I’ve had students take the program, then go out<br />

and start their own pharmacy,” Martinez said.<br />

“Now they’re guest speakers coming back to talk to<br />

my students, so they’ve done the full cycle. The<br />

students attending the class see the results.”<br />

The students also receive training and certification<br />

in non-sterile compounding. The elective is <strong>of</strong>fered<br />

in the last semester before they graduate, so the<br />

class is made up <strong>of</strong> students who are very interested<br />

in starting their own business.<br />

“Community pharmacy is alive and well, and in<br />

fact it’s growing again,” Martinez said. “Clinical<br />

work is back in the community pharmacy. It’s a<br />

great forum for a health pr<strong>of</strong>essional like a<br />

pharmacist to disseminate health information<br />

through advice, consultation, disease management,<br />

vaccines, travel service and travel clinics. There’s a<br />

whole variety <strong>of</strong> different health care modules that<br />

a community pharmacist can participate in.”<br />

The Fletcher Jones Foundation<br />

Endowed Chair for Nursing<br />

Quality and Safety<br />

“Safety and quality are front and center in national<br />

health care reform, and is a leadership requirement for<br />

all nurses,” she said. “I tell all <strong>of</strong> our incoming<br />

students that no matter what program they’re entering<br />

into, it’s their role to be a leader and their<br />

responsibility to assure patient quality and safety.”<br />

The endowed chair will put Dr. Boller in the national<br />

limelight, Hanford said. She will have the resources to<br />

travel and network nationally, write publications, seek<br />

grant funding and help recruit other faculty with<br />

expertise in quality and safety.<br />

The College <strong>of</strong> Graduate Nursing is poised to become a<br />

leader in quality and safety education as the result <strong>of</strong> a<br />

$500,000 grant from The Fletcher Jones Foundation.<br />

The grant is funding The Fletcher Jones Foundation<br />

Endowed Chair for Nursing Quality and Safety, held by<br />

Jan Boller, PhD, RN, College <strong>of</strong> Graduate Nursing<br />

(CGN) Director, DNP Program, <strong>Health</strong> Systems<br />

Leadership, Associate Pr<strong>of</strong>essor.<br />

An endowed chair is a prestigious honor that is highly<br />

regarded in the nursing community, said College <strong>of</strong><br />

Graduate Nursing Dean Karen Hanford, EdD, MSN,<br />

FNP.<br />

The Fletcher Jones Foundation was established in 1969<br />

by Fletcher Jones, co-founder <strong>of</strong> Computer <strong>Sciences</strong><br />

Corporation, a global business technology company.<br />

Upon the untimely death <strong>of</strong> Fletcher Jones, the<br />

Foundation was endowed from his personal estate and<br />

is now governed by an independent Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees.<br />

The Foundation’s primary mission is support for<br />

private colleges and universities in California.<br />

This funding comes at a good time to assist the College<br />

<strong>of</strong> Graduate Nursing in advancing the<br />

recommendations <strong>of</strong> the Institute <strong>of</strong> Medicine. The<br />

1999 Institute <strong>of</strong> Medicine report, “To Err is Human,”<br />

estimated as many as 98,000 people die in hospitals as<br />

a result <strong>of</strong> medical errors that could have been<br />

prevented. This includes adverse drug effects, improper<br />

transfusions, wrong-site surgery and mistaken patient<br />

identities.<br />

In 2010, the Institute <strong>of</strong> Medicine issued a report, “The<br />

Future <strong>of</strong> Nursing,” with recommendations calling for<br />

nurses to be full partners in advancing health<br />

16 <strong>Western</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong>


outcomes in the U.S. by providing leadership in the<br />

area <strong>of</strong> quality and safety.<br />

“The Fletcher Jones Foundation recognized nursing<br />

because nurses are at the center <strong>of</strong> care, in the perfect<br />

position to conduct education and research around<br />

safety and quality,” Dr. Boller said. “The work <strong>of</strong><br />

quality and safety is done at the bedside <strong>of</strong> patients, at<br />

the point <strong>of</strong> care, where it needs to happen. We see<br />

nurses as leaders providing a safety net for patients in<br />

their care.<br />

“The safety net involves interpr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />

collaboration, as well,” Dr. Boller stated. “<strong>Western</strong>U is<br />

uniquely positioned to receive grants in the area <strong>of</strong><br />

quality and safety leadership because <strong>of</strong> our<br />

university’s culture and commitment to<br />

interpr<strong>of</strong>essional education and practice.”<br />

An important early step in utilizing this funding is to<br />

talk to the community and find out how <strong>Western</strong>U<br />

can support their priorities, Dr. Boller said. She will be<br />

reaching out to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical<br />

Center, San Antonio Community Hospital, the<br />

Pomona Unified School District and other local<br />

partners.<br />

The College <strong>of</strong> Graduate Nursing plans to hold a<br />

Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN)<br />

conference later this year, inviting quality and safety<br />

experts to speak. Community partners will then use<br />

this information to train their staff and measure<br />

patient outcomes, determining whether the training<br />

results in a reduction <strong>of</strong> errors.<br />

“This endowment lends itself to measurable outcomes<br />

in the community,” Dr. Boller said.<br />

Quality and safety are a priority not only in Dr. Boller’s<br />

work, but across the College <strong>of</strong> Graduate Nursing.<br />

Several CGN students in the Doctor <strong>of</strong> Nursing<br />

Practice program are doing their dissertation on how<br />

to bring safety and quality into the curriculum using<br />

simulation.<br />

The college uses high-tech, high fidelity mannequins<br />

that enable students to develop critical thinking<br />

abilities and demonstrate skills mastery while receiving<br />

faculty feedback in a controlled environment.<br />

The seed for this comprehensive simulation skills lab<br />

was planted by The Fletcher Jones Foundation when it<br />

contributed grant funding for a high-fidelity<br />

mannequin. That initial grant led to donations from<br />

other organizations and the development <strong>of</strong> the skills<br />

lab.<br />

College <strong>of</strong> Graduate Nursing students are also placed<br />

in clinical experiences, and as part <strong>of</strong> their assignment<br />

are asked if they saw something unsafe while at work,<br />

and if they spoke up.<br />

“Part <strong>of</strong> their clinical expectations is not just to deliver<br />

the clinical care needs <strong>of</strong> the patient, but to look at the<br />

system needs, and identify threats to safety in that care<br />

delivery day and what might we do,” said CGN<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Rodney Hicks, PhD, APRN, FAANP, FAAN.<br />

The American Association <strong>of</strong> Critical-Care Nurses’<br />

1995 study, “Silence Kills,” reported that more than 60<br />

percent <strong>of</strong> medication errors are caused by mistakes in<br />

interpersonal communication.<br />

“The number one reason why we have medication<br />

errors in health care is poor communication,” Dr.<br />

Boller said. “It’s about communicating well in highrisk<br />

situations with strong emotions. We’ve been so<br />

impressed with how the students have learned how to<br />

speak up in those situations to keep patients safe.”<br />

As a result, CGN graduates are viewed differently by<br />

employers.<br />

“They’re not only clinically competent, but they also<br />

move into leadership positions without leaving the<br />

bedside, which is really important,” Dr. Boller said.<br />

“The clinical nurse leader preparation that is part <strong>of</strong><br />

our curriculum is all about focusing on safety and<br />

quality at the point <strong>of</strong> care.” -- Rodney Tanaka<br />

In 2011, <strong>Western</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Health</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong> revived a<br />

fundraising golf tournament<br />

tradition that was idle for 13<br />

years, raising more than<br />

$16,000 to benefit the<br />

<strong>University</strong> Scholarship<br />

Fund thanks to the<br />

generosity <strong>of</strong> sponsor T.F.<br />

Chen, DDS, who underwrote<br />

the entire golf fundraiser.<br />

Dr. Chen is back for another<br />

round <strong>of</strong> the Towne and Gown<br />

Golf Classic, to be held on June 18,<br />

2012.<br />

In 1982, <strong>Western</strong>U Founding President Philip<br />

Pumerantz, PhD, and his wife, Harriet, helped<br />

establish COMPatriots, an organization <strong>of</strong> Pomona<br />

business and pr<strong>of</strong>essional people who came<br />

together to “foster good relations between town<br />

and gown, help educate the community about the<br />

College and the osteopathic medical pr<strong>of</strong>ession,<br />

and sponsor various fund raising activities,”<br />

according to information from the <strong>University</strong><br />

Archives.<br />

A 1982 COMPletter says COMPatriots sponsored<br />

the inaugural COMPatriots Golf Classic<br />

Towne & Gown Golf<br />

Classic sponsor T.F. Chen<br />

Tournament, held on Nov. 18,<br />

1982. After a 17-year run, the<br />

tournament was cancelled in<br />

2000.<br />

After helping revive the<br />

event in 2011, Dr. Chen is<br />

again underwriting the<br />

2012 tournament, which<br />

will be held at the Glendora<br />

Country Club, a short drive<br />

north <strong>of</strong> <strong>Western</strong>U’s Pomona<br />

campus. Dr. Chen said he will<br />

continue to sponsor the event for<br />

as long as he can.<br />

“Last year’s tournament went very smoothly,” he<br />

said. “This year we are going to rise to a higher<br />

level by getting more sponsorships and by<br />

attracting more people to come and play. We will<br />

have more prizes and more giveaways, so<br />

hopefully this year we can get more fundraising<br />

in.”<br />

He says his goal is to more than double the<br />

amount raised last year.<br />

This year’s tournament will cost $175 per golfer, or<br />

$700 per foursome, and will include a golf shirt for<br />

each participant. Similar to last year, it will be a<br />

18 <strong>Western</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong>


scramble-format tournament with a shotgun start<br />

at noon.<br />

Last year, more than 90 golfers participated, and<br />

the event is expected to sell out this year, which<br />

would mean 128 golfers or more, said <strong>Western</strong>U<br />

Senior Vice President Thomas Fox, PhD.<br />

“This is fun and what a tournament should be,” he<br />

said. “We could raise more money by raising the<br />

price, but then we change the nature <strong>of</strong> the event.<br />

We are trying to give people a chance to<br />

participate that can’t afford other high-priced golf<br />

outings.”<br />

The tourney will include a new contest, the golf<br />

ball drop, where golfers can buy balls -- one ball<br />

for $10, three for $25,<br />

or 10 for $75 – for a<br />

chance to win a 50-<br />

50 raffle. Prior to the<br />

shotgun start, a<br />

helicopter will drop<br />

numbered golf balls<br />

at a designated flag<br />

on the driving range<br />

from about 80 feet<br />

up; the owner <strong>of</strong> the<br />

ball closest to the pin<br />

will split the money raised.<br />

Symes Cadillac <strong>of</strong> Pasadena also is sponsoring the<br />

hole-in-one competition for a chance to win a<br />

2012 Cadillac.<br />

Like last year, golfers can also purchase five feet <strong>of</strong><br />

string, mulligans, and free tosses that give them<br />

special advantages to improve scores, all helping<br />

raise money for student scholarships.<br />

Following a dinner reception, golfers will be<br />

awarded trophies for straightest drive and longest<br />

drive for men and women; reverse Stableford<br />

scoring for the four teams that scored the highest<br />

gross scores; and four winning teams that had the<br />

lowest gross scores.<br />

Player packages are as follows:<br />

• Platinum sponsor ($2,000) includes a<br />

foursome, four tee sponsorships, four mulligan<br />

packages, and a full-page ad in the tournament<br />

program.<br />

• Gold sponsor ($1,500) includes a foursome,<br />

three tee sponsorships, two mulligan packages,<br />

and a half-page ad in the program.<br />

• A silver sponsor package also is available.<br />

Dr. Pumerantz and <strong>Western</strong>U Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees<br />

member John T. McGwire, DDS, look forward to<br />

driving a beverage<br />

cart around the golf<br />

course, meeting and<br />

talking with everyone<br />

for a second year.<br />

Dr. Pumerantz<br />

reminisced about the<br />

inaugural tournament<br />

in 1982, when he<br />

won a gold-toned golf<br />

club that is hanging<br />

on his wall in his <strong>Western</strong>U <strong>of</strong>fice. He said with a<br />

smile, “I have to be honest with you, I won it in a<br />

raffle.”<br />

Last year he also brought back some hardware<br />

from the tournament, “a shiny trophy for driving<br />

around the beverage cart,” he said.<br />

Dr. Pumerantz said he likes this revival <strong>of</strong> old<br />

efforts.<br />

“Dr. Chen’s support is very significant, because<br />

with his help, we are able to raise money for<br />

scholarships for students and to spread the word<br />

about our university,” he said. -- Jeff Malet<br />
