REPORT TO DONORS<br />

<strong>2016</strong>


FROM THE PRESIDENT<br />

The <strong>2016</strong> year has provided substantial evidence of the high quality that has<br />

come to characterize programs at Heritage, and much of that quality is due to<br />

support from the many donors and foundations who are friends of the university.<br />

<strong>2016</strong> Board<br />

of Directors<br />

The results of your commitment to Heritage University and our students can be<br />

seen throughout all academic programs and the university campus. In health<br />

sciences, for example, the Physician Assistant program graduated its first<br />

cohort, nearly every one of whom went directly into the workforce, most working<br />

in rural and underserved communities. The Master of Arts in Medical Sciences<br />

program has grown from an initial cohort of just five students to 50 annually,<br />

almost all of whom graduate and enter into the professional program of their<br />

choice. The nursing program received approval to expand to 24 students each<br />

year and, like the master’s degree programs, receives far more applications for<br />

admission than there are openings.<br />

Much of the strength of these three programs, as is the case of all of our<br />

academic programs, lies in the quality of the rich partnerships Heritage<br />

University enjoys with other institutions of higher learning. Heritage works<br />

closely with partners such as Pacific Northwest University of Medical Sciences<br />

to build programs that are rigorous and relevant to the fields in which our<br />

students will enter. We value collaborations with other universities such as the<br />

Washington State University, whose pharmacy school reserves spots for qualified<br />

Heritage grads, and the University of Washington, who’s Latino Center for<br />

Health has made Heritage its only academic partner.<br />

The success of the health sciences is mirrored throughout all of Heritage’s<br />

academic programs. Business students continue to impress on a national scale<br />

through their work in Enactus. The College of Education continues to grow<br />

in quality and recognition for preparing teachers with expertise in content as<br />

well as culturally sensitive pedagogy and for preparing future principals who<br />

are instructional leaders not simply administrators. Graduating seniors in<br />

mathematics, social work, and the humanities enjoy admission into prestigious<br />

master’s degree and even Ph.D. programs nationwide.<br />

Very little of this would have happened without the remarkable support from<br />

people like you who generously fund scholarships for students otherwise unable<br />

to afford the university and from supporters who have helped give this campus<br />

some first-rate facilities in the past decade. Kay and I feel that one of our<br />

great joys the last seven years has come from knowing you, our supporters, and<br />

connecting you with the wonderful students who are taking Heritage degrees out<br />

to lives of success and out to improve the quality of life here in Washington.<br />
