raising from the private sector.<br />
In 2002, the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
turn ed to UM alumni, long<br />
time friends and its<br />
broader audience, instate<br />
and beyond, to invest<br />
in making the school even<br />
stronger in its second<br />
century. <strong>The</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Trust<br />
ees set the goal <strong>of</strong> the Invest<br />
in Discovery campaign at $100<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong> surpass its $100<br />
million goal by $31 million.<br />
Here, we present images <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Brightly<br />
After five extraordinary years, <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Montana</strong>’s Invest in Discovery<br />
campaign came down to one thing: a brighter future for our students.<br />
Because <strong>of</strong> your incomparable commitment and generosity, young men and<br />
women are now in a position to transform our world.<br />
This spring, when we announced the record success <strong>of</strong> the campaign, the UM<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees agreed the perfect time had come to celebrate<br />
and thank our many supporters.<br />
And celebrate we did. With the instrumental support <strong>of</strong> Dennis and Phyllis<br />
Washington, the evening was grand and elegant, befitting the historic achieve-<br />
ments <strong>of</strong> the Invest in Discovery adventure.<br />
We hope you will take time to read the stories on the following pages. In words and pictures, you will see the<br />
impact you have made – you will see the future.<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Montana</strong> and the UM <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
When I look back at<br />
the journey we embarked upon in July<br />
2002, I am overwhelmed with pride. We<br />
set an unprecedented goal <strong>of</strong> raising<br />
$100 million in five years, and you were<br />
up for the challenge. You attended<br />
functions; you spread the word <strong>of</strong> UM’s<br />
worldclass instructors and researchers;<br />
you volunteered and put in long hours.<br />
You made history.<br />
To say it was a group effort is an understatement.<br />
You came out in droves – some<br />

Left to right: Heidi Ames and Emily Carlton perform at the gala<br />
�<br />
Joyfully<br />
<strong>The</strong> résumé <strong>of</strong> Heidi<br />
Ames stretches from Portland, Ore.;<br />
to the hills <strong>of</strong> Lombardy, Italy; Prague, the<br />
Czech Republic; Colorado Springs,<br />
Colo.; and finally, Missoula. And soon it<br />
is to settle on another point <strong>of</strong> the compass.<br />
Ames won the competition to sing the<br />
gala’s programopening “StarSpangled<br />
Banner” and later “O mio babbino caro”<br />
from Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi.<br />
Ames came to a singing career following<br />
a circuitous path. “I began studying<br />
piano when I was 13. I enrolled at the<br />
Univer sity <strong>of</strong> Oregon as a piano major<br />
and switched to composition. In the<br />
end, I graduated from Portland State<br />
with a B.S.in liberal studies.”<br />
When Ames entered UM, she studied<br />
accompanying. Stephen Kalm, Department<br />
<strong>of</strong> Music chair, encouraged<br />
her to enter the UM’s graduate<br />
pro gram, even though she did not have<br />
a music degree. She won a teaching<br />
fellowship and taught a year, building<br />
confidence by appearing before students<br />
in an unaccustomed role.<br />
Ames’s course changed again, when her<br />
husband accepted a position in Italy.
Singing in celebration <strong>of</strong> their gifts.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re, Ames learned Italian and German<br />
and attended the International Institute <strong>of</strong><br />
Vocal Arts in Chiari.<br />
When the couple returned to the U.S.<br />
in 2006, she began singing lessons<br />
and was accepted to UM’s master’s program.<br />
“That I was awarded the title<br />
role in Puccini’s Suor Angelica, in 2008,<br />
was a leap <strong>of</strong> faith on the part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
department. <strong>The</strong> department recognized<br />
my potential and <strong>of</strong>fered support.”<br />
With a master’s degree in vocal performance<br />
in hand, Ames and her husband<br />
moved to San Francisco, where a new job<br />
awaited him. “I am thankful that the<br />
music faculty understands that not every <br />
one comes from the same mold.<br />
<strong>Montana</strong> gave me a unique, invaluable experience.<br />
I could have paid more for<br />
another education and been just as happy,<br />
but my UM education is worth more<br />
than I can express.”<br />
Emily Carlton,<br />
music education senior, had just<br />
four days to prepare her audition for a<br />
solo performance at the May gala.<br />
“At the last minute, Anne Basinski, my<br />
vocal instructor, encouraged me to try<br />
out,” recalls Carlton.<br />
But a technical glitch caused her audition to<br />
go poorly. A friend stepped in at<br />
the critical point. “He had recorded my<br />
audition on his laptop,” said Carlton,<br />
“I sang on top <strong>of</strong> it in his living room. We<br />
burned it there, and sent it in.” And the<br />
rest <strong>of</strong> the story is worthy <strong>of</strong> fairytale status.<br />
True to her Cinderella roots, Carlton<br />
won the heart <strong>of</strong> 14time Grammy Award<br />
winner and producer David Foster,<br />
who chose her to sing. At the gala, Foster<br />
accompanied her on the piano on “I<br />
Can Only Imagine,” by Mercy Me, with<br />
backing by pr<strong>of</strong>essional musicians, some<br />
from <strong>The</strong> Tonight Show.<br />
Carlton’s focus is on Christian contemporary<br />
music. She not only accompanies<br />
herself on the piano; she writes lyrics and<br />
composes. She has recorded a demo<br />
CD in Bozeman. Amid all the excite ment,<br />
she still keeps her feet planted firmly on<br />
the ground.<br />
What’s next for Carlton? “<strong>The</strong> picture is<br />
so much bigger now,” she replies. “All<br />
I have to do is sing,” she says, “and everything<br />
falls into place.”

A nose for news.<br />
A fancy for facts.<br />
As co-anchor <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Montana</strong> Evening<br />
Edition on MtPR, the local nPR station,<br />
senior natalie neumann is learning broadcast<br />
journalism from the inside out.<br />
“For the past two years,” she says, “I have<br />
delivered the evening news to some<br />
60,000 listeners.” and that’s only half the<br />
story. She also produces weekly news<br />
and feature packages for KbGa college<br />
radio. neumann comes to reporting<br />
naturally. “I always enjoyed talking with<br />
people. I always had to be the first to<br />
know.” on the dean’s list for the past six<br />
semesters, neumann is making news<br />
herself. She anchors and introduces stories<br />
on KeCI- nbC weekend news and<br />
hopes to snag an internship as capitol<br />
reporter next spring when the state<br />
Legislature convenes in Helena. a broadcast<br />
journalism/political science<br />
major, neumann sees this assignment<br />
as a perfect 10.<br />

A breath <strong>of</strong> fresh air.<br />
Locally Globally<br />
Smoke. <strong>The</strong> kind that<br />
gets in your eyes. Your throat. Your lungs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> effect <strong>of</strong> smoke on our health is the<br />
target for two researchers at UM’s Center<br />
for Environmental Health Sciences.<br />
Smoke produced by sources such as forest<br />
fires, exterior wood boilers, and<br />
wood-burning stoves is a major problem<br />
worldwide, say researchers Tony Ward<br />
and Curtis Noonan. <strong>The</strong>y intend to take
what they learn from<br />
studies in <strong>Montana</strong><br />
and Idaho and apply their<br />
findings internationally.<br />
<strong>The</strong> labs involved in the five-year study,<br />
titled Air Toxics Under the Big Sky, are not<br />
just located in the Skaggs Addition on the<br />
UM campus. With support from the<br />
Toshiba America <strong>Foundation</strong>, Toyota<br />
Tapestry <strong>Foundation</strong>, and 3M, the program<br />
also takes place in communities and<br />
high schools near Missoula, with some<br />
200 students and teachers participating<br />
in the 2007-08 academic year alone.<br />
Here’s how the study works: Students col lect<br />
air samples, inside and outside their<br />
homes. Back in the classroom, they inves -<br />
ti gate the relationship between air<br />
pollutants and respiratory illnesses. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
continue to work alongside pr<strong>of</strong>essors<br />
and scientists, in UM labs, to examine and<br />
evaluate their findings.<br />
<strong>The</strong> program has double-edged benefits,<br />
says Ward. “Students become familiar<br />
with methods <strong>of</strong> scientific inquiry; they gain<br />
experience in tackling a community<br />
problem; they are inspired to seek further<br />
education and, perhaps, careers in environmental<br />
and biomedical sciences.”<br />
A significant<br />
number <strong>of</strong><br />
wood-burning<br />
stoves have<br />
been replaced<br />
with more<br />
environmentally<br />
compatible<br />
heaters.<br />
“By working with students on campus,”<br />
adds Noonan, “they become comfortable<br />
with UM, our facilities, and our faculty.”<br />
For several graduates <strong>of</strong> the program, it’s<br />
a pipeline to enrollment at the <strong>University</strong>.<br />
For the communities, measurements<br />
show that ambient and indoor air quality<br />
has improved as awareness <strong>of</strong> pollution’s<br />
effect on health has increased. And a<br />
significant number <strong>of</strong> wood-burning stoves<br />
has been replaced with more environmen-<br />
tally compatible heaters.<br />
Ward’s first experience in <strong>Montana</strong><br />
occurred in summer 1990, when he<br />
washed dishes at Yellowstone National Park<br />
and fell in love with the mountains.<br />
Noonan’s background includes time as<br />
a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa<br />
and as an epidemiologist in Atlanta. Both<br />
agree: It’s great to be part <strong>of</strong> a growing<br />
program at UM – especially with the<br />
Rockies as backdrop.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is much good to<br />
learn from other countries.<br />
– Jun Wang
Ardently<br />
Committed to reshaping education in China.<br />
Jun Wang sees a win-<br />
dow for educational reform in his native<br />
China, and he intends to widen it.<br />
Now in his second year <strong>of</strong> doctoral studies<br />
at <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Montana</strong>,<br />
Wang is optimistic about his opportunity<br />
to effect change. “<strong>The</strong> atmosphere<br />
here is warming [toward absorbing information<br />
from beyond our borders].<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is much good to learn from other<br />
countries. We can select the best,<br />
combine that with what we know, and<br />
apply it to our systems. This can only<br />
benefit us.”<br />
Wang knows what he is talking about.<br />
Since September 1997, he has held various<br />
posts as a teacher <strong>of</strong> English at<br />
middle schools, in Gansu, and at Ningbo<br />
<strong>University</strong>, Zhejiang, China. Before<br />
completing the 2007-08 academic year<br />
at UM, Wang was a non-degree grad uate<br />
student in the School <strong>of</strong> Education.<br />
Previously, he earned a master <strong>of</strong> education<br />
degree in leadership at Car diff<br />
<strong>University</strong>, South Wales.<br />
Encouragement to apply to UM came<br />
from Suzy Hampton, Ed.D. ’95.<br />
In 1998, on one <strong>of</strong> her several visits to<br />
China, she met Wang at the school in<br />
which he was teaching. His work for her<br />
as interpreter initiated a lasting<br />
friendship, kept active for several years<br />
via e-mail. In 2005, Wang was named<br />
a visiting scholar to UM, under sponsor<br />
ship <strong>of</strong> his college. “This experience<br />
triggered the notion <strong>of</strong> continuing<br />
my graduate studies at UM.” Wang later<br />
successfully competed against other<br />
doctoral candidates for UM’s Moser-<br />
McKinney Education and History<br />
Jun Wang<br />
Fellowship, which is renewable for three<br />
years and fully covers tuition and fees.<br />
His career in pursuit <strong>of</strong> a degree from<br />
UM was on track.<br />
Wang notes that it is “a great experience<br />
to work with American classmates in<br />
primary, high-school, and college classroom<br />
settings.” <strong>The</strong>se experiences<br />
involve much give-and-take learning,<br />
from both Chinese and American<br />
perspectives. Frances O’Reilly, assistant<br />
adjunct pr<strong>of</strong>essor, Department <strong>of</strong> Leadership<br />
and Counseling, for whom Wang<br />
served as interpreter last year, describes<br />
Wang as “congenial, engaging, with<br />
great interpersonal skills.” Suzy and her<br />
husband Hamp agree. “Jun is remarkable.<br />
We can’t begin to imagine what<br />
[great things] he will accomplish in the<br />
educational leadership field.”<br />
A significant feature <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> Phyllis J. Washington Education Center, scheduled to open in 2009, will<br />
be high-tech/s<strong>of</strong>t-touch learning labs. <strong>The</strong> building will include two preschools with an observation<br />
room allowing groups <strong>of</strong> students and faculty to observe interactions <strong>of</strong> children. <strong>The</strong> preschools will<br />
incorporate the most current educational technology and serve as “test beds” for research and<br />
development within the facility’s Educational Technology Research and Development Center. Virtual<br />
observation conference rooms will provide video and audio records <strong>of</strong> classroom activities, and<br />
elementary education students will participate in field/practicum experiences in this environment.<br />

Superbly<br />
Prepared to serve clients and society.<br />
Gi ving to your graduate<br />
institution is not uncommon.<br />
But giving to your school before you have<br />
a diploma speaks highly <strong>of</strong> the educa -<br />
tion you’re receiving, as well as the loyalty<br />
that your school inspires.<br />
Significantly, in 2007-08, <strong>The</strong> Unversity<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Montana</strong> Law School students<br />
agreed to a fee assessment <strong>of</strong> $75 each,<br />
directed to the new law building.<br />
“This action,” says Dean E. Edwin Eck,<br />
“certainly pushed donations from the
UM students<br />
graduate, then<br />
hit the ground<br />
running.<br />
legal community.” He<br />
points to the totals:<br />
$5 million in private<br />
gifts combined with<br />
$4.7 million in legislative<br />
appropria tions;<br />
$1.6 million in federal<br />
funds; and $2.4 mil -<br />
lion in bond proceeds.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> law program is expanding,<br />
and the build-<br />
ing had to catch up,” says Luke Berger,<br />
former president <strong>of</strong> the Student<br />
Bar Association. Erica Grinde, 2007-08<br />
executive editor <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> Public Lands<br />
and Resources Law Review, agrees. “<strong>The</strong> new<br />
building allocates needed additional<br />
space to <strong>The</strong> Law Review, as well as to our<br />
public lands and resources program.”<br />
In addition to leadership <strong>of</strong> the Bar<br />
Association, Berger was active in several<br />
student groups. According to current<br />
building plans, the association and other<br />
student groups will gain working space in<br />
the three-level structure.<br />
Grinde counts among her valuable experiences<br />
participation as a member <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Montana</strong> Moot Court<br />
team, which went on to represent<br />
law schools from the Northwest Region<br />
in the National Moot Court competition.<br />
She also was Student Bar Association<br />
business manager.<br />
Berger and Grinde emphasize the im por-<br />
tance <strong>of</strong> UM’s close pr<strong>of</strong>essor/student<br />
relationships to their academic experience.<br />
“We weren’t faces in the crowd. We had<br />
plenty <strong>of</strong> opportunity to speak with teachers<br />
and admini strators” about significant<br />
issues, as well as less sweeping matters.<br />
And what they learned at the law school<br />
has practical, day-to-day application.<br />
“East Coast law graduates can ramble<br />
Luke Berger<br />
on forever about theory,” Berger<br />
observes. “UM students graduate, then<br />
hit the ground running.”<br />
Grinde and Berger typify alumni <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Montana</strong> School <strong>of</strong><br />
Law. Berger serves as clerk to the <strong>Montana</strong><br />
Supreme Court, while Grinde practices<br />
with Browning, Kaleczyc, Berry &<br />
Hoven, Missoula.<br />
Critical to the processes <strong>of</strong> teaching and learning, two new classrooms will accommodate a maximum <strong>of</strong> 45 students, and two<br />
existing classrooms are being redesigned and updated. Students and faculty will enjoy improved acoustics and additional space<br />
for laptops and books. Seats will connect to the School’s computer network and to the Internet, and plans call for incorporating the<br />
latest in audiovisual and computer-presentation technology in each room. <strong>The</strong> existing facility will have energy-efficient windows,<br />
a new ro<strong>of</strong>, and improved temperature controls, including an air-conditioning system. <strong>The</strong> exterior <strong>of</strong> the new wing will be faced with<br />
red brick to tie its appearance to that <strong>of</strong> the 1961 building.<br />
In addition to her already<br />
demanding schedule, Grinde<br />
was executive editor <strong>of</strong> <strong>Montana</strong><br />
Law Review.<br />

Homelessness usually<br />
is associated with street people and their<br />
needs for shelter and food.<br />
Homelessness <strong>of</strong> a different stripe has<br />
been a fact <strong>of</strong> life on the UM campus.<br />
But a solution is only a few years away.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s art collection, begun in<br />
1894 – only a year after the school’s<br />
founding – astonishes all who hear its story.<br />
More than 10,000 works <strong>of</strong> art com -<br />
prise the collection, several hundred <strong>of</strong><br />
which are displayed in 26 buildings<br />
on campus and around the state. In fact,<br />
lack <strong>of</strong> space dictates that only one-half<br />
Affecting the heart and mind.<br />
<strong>of</strong> 1 per cent can be exhibited<br />
at a specific time. <strong>The</strong><br />
museum staff is equally scattered,<br />
working in seven<br />
primary locations — galleries,<br />
<strong>of</strong>fices, and various storage<br />
sites. “After more than 100<br />
years <strong>of</strong> collecting,” says<br />
Barbara Koostra, director <strong>of</strong><br />
the Mon tana Museum <strong>of</strong><br />
Art & Culture, “the time has come for the<br />
collection to have a permanent home.<br />
People,” she continues, “are interested<br />
in how a museum functions and serves<br />
in a university setting. <strong>The</strong>y need to<br />
understand the pan-discipline approach<br />
<strong>of</strong> our museum, viewing the world<br />
using ‘the Renaissance mind,’ in which a<br />
museum collection enhances ideas across<br />
the curricula.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> UM <strong>Foundation</strong>, the museum’s<br />
board <strong>of</strong> advisors, and Koostra have<br />
embarked on a new phase in <strong>University</strong><br />
history.<strong>The</strong>ir goal is to raise $13.5 million<br />
for an endowment and a museum<br />
building, in which the permanent collection<br />
will be the centerpiece.
John Hilberry Museum Consulting, New<br />
York, and A&E Architects, Missoula<br />
and Billings, have developed conceptual<br />
drawings for the 33,000-square-foot<br />
building, to be located on the north edge<br />
<strong>of</strong> campus. With space for exhibitions<br />
and educational programs and almost<br />
10,000 square feet <strong>of</strong> climate-controlled<br />
storage, its placement will make it the<br />
gateway to campus.<br />
“Our goal is to create a home for the<br />
collection that <strong>of</strong>fers the best stewardship<br />
for the works <strong>of</strong> art,” says Koostra. “We<br />
are caretakers <strong>of</strong> a great asset that belongs<br />
not only to the <strong>University</strong> but also to the<br />
state and beyond.”<br />
Rudy Autio headed the<br />
ceramics area <strong>of</strong> UM’s<br />
School <strong>of</strong> Fine Arts for 28<br />
years. His career is<br />
marked by international<br />
achievement and<br />
recognition. <strong>The</strong> Finnish<br />
designers organization,<br />
Ornamo, elected him an<br />
honorary member, and<br />
in 1981 he was named first<br />
recipient <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Montana</strong><br />
Governor’s Arts Award. A<br />
<strong>Montana</strong> native and<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essor emeritus, Autio<br />
died in 2007.<br />

Complementing the Mansfield Library mission.<br />
On a cloudy after-<br />
noon last April, Friends <strong>of</strong> the Mansfield<br />
Library joined individuals from all parts<br />
<strong>of</strong> the campus – and beyond – to celebrate<br />
acquisition <strong>of</strong> the Goedicke-Robinson<br />
papers, purchased with a combination <strong>of</strong><br />
funds from the Friends <strong>of</strong> the Mansfield<br />
Library and from the library.<br />
A nationally noted poet, Patricia Goedicke<br />
taught in the UM English department<br />
from 1981 until retiring in 2003. She<br />
died in 2006. Her husband, Leonard<br />
Robinson, a New Yorker magazine writer<br />
and fiction editor at Esquire, died seven<br />
years earlier.<br />
“This collection <strong>of</strong> papers and works<br />
adds to the understanding <strong>of</strong> the literary<br />
world <strong>of</strong> the West and Missoula, in<br />
particular,” says Bonnie Allen, dean <strong>of</strong><br />
the library. “<strong>The</strong>y serve as a resource not<br />
only for our creative writing students,<br />
In her later years, though<br />
ill, Goedicke remained<br />
vitally interested in life and<br />
living. Noted in her obituary<br />
among her “hundreds <strong>of</strong><br />
notes, quotations, random<br />
written thoughts, plans, and<br />
descriptions” was this caution<br />
to anyone “who might<br />
get drowned in the sludge<br />
<strong>of</strong> my psychic and physical<br />
pains . . . be sure to speak<br />
<strong>of</strong> my utter joy – inexpressible<br />
– but experienced . . .<br />
walking barefoot over the<br />
grass around the house,<br />
looking up at the stars and<br />
talking to the in-and-out cats<br />
in the shadows . . . waking<br />
in my sweet bed, with the<br />
breezes blowing over and no<br />
troubles during the night . . .<br />
Such pleasures.”<br />
but for scholars and researchers from<br />
many points <strong>of</strong> the globe.”<br />
What makes a collection, such as this, valuable?<br />
“Those who come to study,”<br />
Allen explains, “not only will have access<br />
to the papers. <strong>The</strong>y will read<br />
marginalia, research, working<br />
papers, correspondence<br />
between authors and publi<br />
shers, between writers and<br />
writers. <strong>The</strong>y will gain insight into<br />
the lives and minds <strong>of</strong> each<br />
author. <strong>The</strong> intellectual value <strong>of</strong><br />
all this comes from learning about the<br />
artist, her process, and commitment.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> reality,” says Allen, “is that any notable<br />
individual can sell his or her papers.<br />
When they come on the market, manuscripts<br />
can go to the highest bidder. I<br />
hope [this acquisition] will signal a change<br />
<strong>of</strong> view and lead people to realize that<br />
donor funds are vital to acquiring papers.”<br />
Allen reminds us that “a library does more<br />
than circulate books. Forget the technologies<br />
and stereotypes,” she cautions.<br />
“You cannot name a <strong>University</strong> department<br />
for which we haven’t an iron in the<br />
fire that will enable us to acquire a collection<br />
pertinent to that discipline.”

Proudly<br />
Devoted to a career <strong>of</strong> service.<br />
It began in the closing<br />
lines <strong>of</strong> an obituary: “In lieu <strong>of</strong> flowers,<br />
please send contributions to <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Montana</strong> College <strong>of</strong> Forestry<br />
and Conservation.”<br />
That seed <strong>of</strong> a suggestion, published in<br />
April 2006, has grown into the Phil<br />
Janik Graduate Scholarship. When fully<br />
funded, the scholarship will help a<br />
UM graduate student work toward a master’s<br />
degree in forestry.<br />
Having earned a B.S. degree in forestry<br />
from UM in 1967, Janik later completed<br />
a master’s in wildlife science at Oregon<br />
State <strong>University</strong>. <strong>The</strong>se studies formed<br />
the foundation <strong>of</strong> his career.<br />
His biography is studded with major accomplishments<br />
in his field, including the<br />
Distinguished Alumni Award. But at the<br />
top <strong>of</strong> the list for Janik was a revision<br />
to the most controversial forest plan ever<br />
developed by the U.S. Forest Service:<br />
the Tongass National Forest Plan Revision.<br />
Encompassing 17-million acres, the<br />
Tongass National Forest in southeastern<br />
Alaska is the nation’s largest national<br />
forest. During some 20 congressional<br />
hearings, the revision stirred heated<br />
controversy, pitting extreme conservationists,<br />
opposing any changes to<br />
the original 1979 document, against<br />
giant timber companies, wanting to<br />
harvest as much as possible <strong>of</strong> the vast,<br />
old-growth rainforest.<br />
His widow Pat recalls how Janik did this.<br />
“As regional forester in Alaska,” she explains,<br />
“when Phil was called upon to<br />
draw up a revision, he wisely integrated<br />
science and scientists into the process<br />
at the outset.” When congressional hearings<br />
were scheduled, the scientists were<br />
called to testify. <strong>The</strong>ir statements in<br />
support <strong>of</strong> the revision added credibility<br />
to the Forest Service’s position, and<br />
Janik’s unique, science-based conservation<br />
strategy forms the core <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Tongass Plan.<br />
“That so many individuals came together<br />
to create the graduate scholarship,”<br />
Pat comments, “is a tribute to Phil, the<br />
Great Collaborator, who brought<br />
together individuals with diverse concepts<br />
and goals to work for the common<br />
good.” His actions express the Forest Service’s<br />
mis sion: Caring for the land and<br />
serving people.

“Student-athletes<br />
do so well at <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Montana</strong>,<br />
that I have an easy job.”<br />
This is how Jean Gee ’95 assesses her<br />
position as associate director <strong>of</strong><br />
athletics for student services. It’s a field<br />
that is extremely close to her heart,<br />
since her initial post in the athletic department<br />
was as an academic advisor.<br />
Gee says that the student-athletes UM<br />
enrolls “don’t need a ton <strong>of</strong> counseling.<br />
Jean Gee helps ensure that studentathletes<br />
get what they need to complete<br />
academic requirements.<br />
Passionately<br />
Pursuing degree completion for student-athletes.<br />
Our coaches are keen on recruiting players,”<br />
she observes, “who will live up to<br />
the academic pr<strong>of</strong>ile so important here.”<br />
But students are grateful that they have<br />
access to a designated individual – the<br />
academic advisor – to whom they can go<br />
when they need help.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s Study-Table Program<br />
provides them with a structured<br />
envi ronment. “<strong>The</strong>y spend a specific<br />
time in academic workshops,”<br />
she explains, “studying writing, math,<br />
First and foremost,<br />
we’re about education.<br />
research writing.” Freshmen athletes are<br />
required to attend a certain number <strong>of</strong><br />
these sessions each semester.<br />
<strong>The</strong> position <strong>of</strong> academic advisor meets<br />
NCAA mandates. This individual<br />
helps athletes understand how to meet<br />
general education guidelines and<br />
<strong>of</strong>fers information supplementary to that<br />
given by their academic major advisor.<br />
This process, Gee comments, “helps athletes<br />
put it all together and shows how<br />
the various pieces <strong>of</strong> an academic program<br />
combine for positive results.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong>, she says, places educating<br />
student-athletes at the forefront.<br />
“First and foremost, we’re about education.<br />
It’s instilled in us, from the top<br />
down. President Dennison,” she points<br />
out, “is incredibly supportive <strong>of</strong> and<br />
proud <strong>of</strong> our student-athletes. This enthusiasm<br />
trickles down to the administration,<br />
faculty, and coaches.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s support <strong>of</strong> degree completion<br />
lets recruiters guarantee that<br />
student-athletes will graduate in four to<br />
five years. “Private funding, such as<br />
that which Sylvia Jensen has contributed,”<br />
Gee says, “provides a base close to<br />
$500,000. <strong>The</strong>se donors share our passion<br />
that, first and foremost, studentathletes<br />
must leave UM with a degree.”
A variety <strong>of</strong> facilities keep both athletes and the general student<br />
body fit for learning.<br />

While many<br />
people enter their<br />
thoughts on a<br />

amber Bushnell<br />
thinks in digital<br />
images. “While studying traditional art and<br />
design, i discovered the possibilities<br />
digital art <strong>of</strong>fers and instantly fell in love with<br />
the concept.” after she finished her<br />
bachelor’s in radio and television, with a<br />
minor in media arts, um established<br />
a master’s program that al lows her to major<br />
in integrated digital media. “the pr<strong>of</strong>es -<br />
sors didn’t make me stay in their track. they<br />
gave me something to run with. they<br />
push you to expand your talent.” Bushnell<br />
is grateful for her experience and praises<br />
the faculty.

Continuing to contribute<br />
to campus life.<br />
You needn’t tell a Greek alumnus or alumna the advantages<br />
<strong>of</strong> pledging and belonging. they recognize that the experience<br />
<strong>of</strong>fers a home away from home for members, fosters lifelong<br />
friendships, and facilitates networking.<br />
today, chapters continue to emphasize leadership skills, schol-<br />
arship and, in particular, philanthropy/service through a variety<br />
<strong>of</strong> programs. another plus is that the campus Greek community<br />
has close relationships with alumni that can help undergraduates<br />
find jobs and <strong>of</strong>fer introductions to members, whether in<br />
missoula or other cities and states.<br />
“only 250 undergraduates,” says Candy Holt, interim Greek life<br />
advisor, “currently participate in societies. that’s less than 2.5<br />
percent <strong>of</strong> the student body compared to more than 30 percent<br />
<strong>of</strong> the student body in the mid-1960s.” Holt puts the numbers in<br />
perspective: <strong>of</strong> the Greeks, 41 percent contributed during the<br />
campaign years. Greeks have a track record <strong>of</strong> being among the<br />
best donors and volunteers to the university. voluntary boards,<br />
such as those <strong>of</strong> the um alumni association and the um<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>, count more than 80 percent participation by Greek<br />
alumni/alumnae.”<br />
in reaction to a decline in participation over the last several<br />
years, in 2004 fraternity and sorority alumni/alumnae formed the<br />
Greek alumni task Force. the group has developed a program<br />
to rejuvenate the system, which President George dennison and<br />
administrative colleagues support, recognizing the volunteer and<br />
financial energy these alumni have <strong>of</strong>fered through mentoring<br />
and scholarships.<br />
meanwhile, members <strong>of</strong> the Greek community pursue philanthropic<br />
goals, having participated in fundraising efforts to benefit<br />
nonpr<strong>of</strong>its such as the american Cancer Society, YmCa, Red<br />
Cross, County Humane Society, and montana Food Bank network.<br />
in 2007-08, Greeks donated $10,100 to various organizations,<br />
averaging $35.45 a member. Since 1999, the average GPa<br />
has remained at 2.50 or better.<br />
national sororities at um include alpha Phi, delta Gamma, Kappa<br />
alpha theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma; fraternities include<br />
Kappa Sigma, Sigma alpha epsilon, Sigma Chi, Sigma nu and<br />
Sigma Phi epsilon.<br />

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

Building loyalty<br />
one year at a<br />
time.<br />
That’s the goal <strong>of</strong> the Grizzly GOLD<br />
Society. “We contact new graduates in<br />
late summer asking that they pledge<br />
$100 annually for each year they’ve been<br />
out <strong>of</strong> school,” says tom Hayes ’99,<br />
vice president, d.a. davidson & Co., Great<br />
Falls, mont. For example, if they’ve<br />
been out two years, they’d give $200 and<br />
the next year, $300. “the goal is to<br />
encourage them to reach the President’s<br />
Club giving level <strong>of</strong> $1,000 annually.<br />
the um <strong>Foundation</strong> hopes this plan will<br />
lead to a pattern <strong>of</strong> giving – one that<br />
inspires a lifetime <strong>of</strong> supporting the university.<br />
and nurturing<br />
the culture <strong>of</strong> philanthropy<br />
is a significant strategy<br />
in ensuring that um continues<br />
to serve montanans<br />
and create and maintain<br />
programs vital to<br />
the growth <strong>of</strong> the<br />
state. Graduates Of<br />
the Last Decade<br />
spells GOLD for<br />
everyone involved.<br />

the university <strong>of</strong> montana <strong>Foundation</strong> 2008 Financial Report to donors<br />
FOUNDATION ASSETS<br />
A major component <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Montana</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>’s mission is to effectively administer,<br />
invest and distribute funds privately donated for use by<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Montana</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>’s assets are held and managed in a variety<br />
<strong>of</strong> ways (see graph, right). <strong>The</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
assets are held in its LONG TERM INVESTMENT<br />
PORTFOLIO. Most funds held in this portfolio<br />
are re lated to endowed gifts where assets are invested in<br />
perpetuity, with regular annual payments made in<br />
accordance with the donors wishes. A very small portion <strong>of</strong><br />
these funds are held in outside trusts and managed by others.<br />
OPERATING FUNDS PORTFOLIO includes funds given by donors<br />
for the immediate or near term use by the <strong>University</strong>. <strong>The</strong>se are<br />
amounts used to provide current year scholarships, support to a wide<br />
variety <strong>of</strong> <strong>University</strong> programs, or funding for the construction<br />
<strong>of</strong> new <strong>University</strong> facilities. Also included in Operating Funds are<br />
funds available for the direct operation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Foundation</strong>.<br />
FOUNDATION<br />

administration to the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s planned giving donors.<br />
Prior to 2005, Annuity Assets were held in the Long Term Investment<br />
Portfolio.<br />
OTHER ASSETS consist primarily <strong>of</strong> trust assets managed outside<br />
the <strong>Foundation</strong>, donated real estate and pledge receivables.<br />

the gift. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> maintains more than 1,400 distinct funds<br />
that enable donors a great deal <strong>of</strong> flexibility in identifying how their<br />
donation is employed. UNRESTRICTED GIFTS are made available<br />
to the <strong>University</strong> for its areas <strong>of</strong> greatest need. Some unrestricted<br />
gifts fund a small portion <strong>of</strong> the operations <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Foundation</strong>.<br />
CURRENT GIFTS are those in which the donated amount is immediately<br />
available for use. ENDOwED GIFTS are pooled and<br />
invested in the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Long Term Investment Portfolio. In<br />

<strong>The</strong> Investment Committee, acting with the assistance <strong>of</strong> an outside investment consultant, has<br />
established an asset allocation for use in managing the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Long Term Investment Portfolio.<br />
<strong>The</strong> actual allocation at June 30, 2008, is illustrated above.<br />
Working with its investment consultant, the Committee selects and employs investment managers<br />
and investment vehicles (most <strong>of</strong>ten institutional mutual funds) to invest the portfolio within<br />
each asset allocation. <strong>The</strong> investment performance <strong>of</strong> the Long Term Investment Portfolio through<br />
June 30, 2008, was as follows:<br />
accordance with its spending policy, 4.25 percent <strong>of</strong> amounts so<br />
invested are made available for spending for a use designated by the<br />
donor at the time <strong>of</strong> the gift.<br />
As the table (at the bottom <strong>of</strong> page 57) illustrates, for the fiscal year<br />
ended June 30, 2008, the <strong>Foundation</strong> distributed $12.4 million<br />
to fund scholar ships, academic support and facilities and equipment.<br />
Disbursement levels vary from year-to-year depending upon donation<br />
levels as well as the timing <strong>of</strong> <strong>University</strong> needs.<br />
