Dear Alumni, Donors and Friends of Missouri State:Foundation MessageThere was no logical reason that the Missouri State University Foundationshould have set a record in 2008-09, receiving more than $15 million in gifts.But it did.After all, the economy was shrinking most of the 12 months between July 1,2008, and June 30, 2009. The market fell. People struggled to keep their jobs. Inmany quarters, optimism was replaced with pessimism.There was no logical reason that thousands of Missouri State alumni investedin the University at a time when there were plenty of excuses to skip a year. Butthey did.Even as the economy began to come back, businesses, organizations andindividuals were proceeding cautiously. We all knew that the economic recoverywould be slow.And there was no logical reason that the number of endowed facultypositions, student scholarships, special program funds and every other fundcategory should have grown over the past year, given the economy. But theydid, bucking the regional and national trend.It’s true that there were no logical reasons for the record year. But anyonewho knows Missouri State University alumni and friends should not besurprised. The thousands of donors, who support Missouri State University, lovethe University, understand the importance of a college degree to the future ofour country, and know that now, more than ever, is when private donationsmake a difference.Many of our alumni benefited from a privately funded scholarship when theywent to this University. It changed their lives. Now they want to do the same fortoday’s student.Our donors have fond memories of favorite professors who they now wantto honor with a scholarship or endowed chair or professorship. It is a way ofperpetuating the memory of a teacher who made a difference in their careersand lives.Among our donors are business owners and executives who hire ourgraduates and are so taken with their skill and work ethic that they want tosupport future students, the academic program that prepared them and theprofessors who taught them.And, of course, alumni and friends want to support the various specialprograms that provide entertainment, enjoyment and points of pride: the PrideBand, debate and intercollegiate athletics are just three examples.So, the purpose of this letter is to say “thank you.” Thank you for your recordsupport of Missouri State in a year that was a difficult one for the vast majorityof colleges and universities in the country. You make a difference to ourstudents, our faculty and our academic programs. We are a better Universitybecause of your generosity. You make us want to do better so that we live up toyour confidence in us.Best regards,Michael T. NietzelJoe TurnerW.
