These events would not be possible without the generosityof our donors who continually give to ensure our University is able to fund programs that allowour students to excel in their field of study.State-mandated budget cuts were a big story throughout <strong>2009</strong>. Although there was uncertaintyover what the future would hold, a plan was put in place and adjustments were made. Weemerge in 2010 a leaner, stronger University.Our donors have the unique but powerful opportunity to change the lives of those not just inAcadiana or Louisiana, but all around the world. Every donation has a far reaching impactthat affects the lives of many individuals.

D R . E . J O S E P H S A V O I E , P R E S I D E N TUNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA LAFAYETTEB A R R Y B E R T H E L O T, P R E S I D E N T<strong>UL</strong> LAFAYETTE FOUNDATION <strong>2009</strong> – 2011After receiving solid state funding for several years, colleges and universities were directed to cuttheir budgets in fiscal year 2008–’09. The reductions challenged the University of Louisiana at<strong>Lafayette</strong> to reexamine its priorities. That reassessment sharpened our focus even more. We remainsteadfast in our belief that we must, above all, protect our core academic mission and continue toprovide quality educational opportunities for our students.Each year seems to bring new challenges, opportunities and rewards. Accordingly, our capacityas individuals and the institutions that we associate with must continue to grow, if we areto fulfill our obligations. The <strong>UL</strong> <strong>Lafayette</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> Board of Trustees and its staff arededicated to our mission and good stewardship of the assets of the University that fall underour area of responsibility.Those budget cuts, along with subsequent reductions at the beginning of fiscal year <strong>2009</strong>–’10 andagain at mid-year in December, underscore the importance of private gifts. We appreciate thegenerosity of donors whose names are included in this annual <strong>Report</strong> on Philanthropy.In many cases, donors’ gifts are matched by the state Board of Regents Support Fund to createendowed chairs, endowed professorships and endowed scholarships. Endowed funds are invested;only earned interest is used. So the principal remains a source of perpetual funding for salarysupplements that are used to attract and retain exceptional faculty members and for scholarshipsawarded to deserving students.Throughout the past year, <strong>UL</strong> <strong>Lafayette</strong> faculty and students showed they are worthy of all of thesupport we can offer. In October, for example, an extraordinary group of architecture, engineeringand business administration students and faculty members went to Washington, D.C., to competein the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon. <strong>UL</strong> <strong>Lafayette</strong> was one of only 20 universitiesfrom around the world chosen to design and build solar homes that were displayed on the NationalMall. Its Team BeauSoleil stood shoulder-to-shoulder with teams from universities such as Cornell,the University of Madrid and Ohio State. The BeauSoleil Louisiana Solar Home earned two majorawards during the Solar Decathlon: the first-place Market Viability Award and the People’s ChoiceAward. National and international media coverage of the event accurately conveyed that <strong>UL</strong><strong>Lafayette</strong> students and faculty are smart, disciplined and determined.In <strong>2009</strong> we upgraded our staff resource through key additions and continuing education;improved our accounting and financial reporting; and conducted an extensive evaluationof our external advisors that will improve our ability to manage the investment portfoliogoing forward. That portfolio has recovered much of the value lost during the serious marketdownturn brought on by the worldwide recession. These results are through the efforts of thededicated volunteers on our Board, our professional staff and the support of the University.Margaret Chauvin Steen Villemez, one of the founding members and the longest serving memberof our board, died this year at age 93. Margaret and her family have supported <strong>UL</strong> <strong>Lafayette</strong> andits students with scholarships and endowments at a significant level. We are grateful for herservice and generosity. As <strong>Foundation</strong> President, I am inspired by those who continue to give sogenerously to the University year after year. I know that this spirit will continue into the futureand produce great benefit for those that follow us. Thank you for your generosity.Also in October, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan cited Louisiana as the only state in thecountry that tracks the effectiveness of its teacher preparation programs. He praised <strong>UL</strong> <strong>Lafayette</strong>specifically for including student test scores in its evaluations of its College of Education graduates.Within weeks, Washington Post and National Public Radio reporters were on our campus to learnmore about our success.So, we thank every donor whose support has enabled <strong>UL</strong> <strong>Lafayette</strong> to continue to excel. We aregrateful for every gift.2 3

The <strong>UL</strong> <strong>Lafayette</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>’sHonor Roll is an annual program that enables the <strong>Foundation</strong> to generate unrestricted gifts.
