2002 Development Raport

2002
Development Report

A common interest or concern is often the inspiration to work together—to reach a goal, to solve a problem, or to improve on the past.
Every one of the more than 2,000 donors who contributed in 2002 is important. Without your support, we would not be able to have the impact that we are making today.

Dear UK College of
Agriculture Donor:

W

ith 13 months remaining until the end of the University of Kentucky Campaign, the College of Agriculture has surpassed its $54.5 million goal. As of the end of 2002, the College had raised $55,394,438, or 101.6 percent of its goal.

We are grateful for the loyal and generous support of many of our alumni and friends. You have embraced our request to give generously in support of your alma mater. Thank you.

The campaign has a number of broad categories for which we were seeking support, including that for students, faculty, academic programs, facilities, the Agricultural Information Center, public service, and research. In each of these areas, goals were established and possible projects identified that would benefit from private support if given. Happily, most of our goals for the various areas have been achieved.

It is especially attractive to receive a one-to-one match when establishing an endowment to support our faculty and research, and Kentucky's Research Challenge Trust Fund provided that excellent incentive. So, money that normally would have been given for undergraduate scholarships was given instead to support faculty and their research. Therefore, we have not yet reached our goal for support of students, especially undergraduate students.

In 2003 we want to focus attention on our undergraduate scholarship program. We want to attempt during the time remaining in this campaign to endow merit-based scholarships for the many outstanding students in the College of Agriculture. If you have not made a campaign gift, it's not too late to be counted as a donor to this campaign.

Scholarship support is a significant factor when students decide where to attend college or even if they can attend at all. So please consider a gift of education for a young person who wants to enroll in the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture. The education of today's students and tomorrow's leaders is indeed a worthy cause.

We hope you enjoy this 2002 annual stewardship report. On behalf of the UK College of Agriculture, thank you! We are truly grateful for your gifts.
Together, we are ensuring the College’s continued progress and working for a worthy cause.

Director for Advancement

The Scovell Society

Scovell Society members are Universityof Kentucky Fellows who have designated $5,000 or more of their contributions to the College of Agriculture. As members of this prestigious group of supporters, they provide a tangible affirmation of the College’s mission, enrich all aspects of the College, and enhance the quality of education, research, and service it provides.

Alumni and friends become Scovell Society members and UK Fellows for a variety of reasons. Some wish to honor or remember a loved one or friend. Others want to thank the College for its role in their lives or express their support for the College and its programs. Many also wish to perpetuate the values they see instilled by the College.

Whatever their reason for joining, Scovell Society members honor the pioneering spirit of Melville A. Scovell, who was dean of the College and first director of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station. Through their generous support, Scovell members help ensure the College of Agriculture’s continued margin of quality and improve lives throughout the commonwealth.

If you have questions about the Scovell Society,
please contact Kathy Ibendahl, Ag Alumni and Development, at:

Scovell Society Members In Memoriam

New Scovell Society members were welcomed and recognized at a brunch held at the E. S. Good Barn on Nov. 9 before the UK-LSU football game. Sixty members and guests enjoyed a brunch buffet while visiting with faculty, students, and fellow donors.

Scovell Society members are also UK Fellows, and many enjoyed the 2002 UK Fellows Society dinner held the night before. More than 860 UK Fellows attended that event, held in Rupp Arena. The annual, elegant black-tie affair is a wonderful way to meet other donors and celebrate giving to the University of Kentucky.

A Dream Donor

Every development officer dreams of a donor who gives large annual gifts to scholarships and discretionary funds. Gifts you can count on like clockwork. Gifts that can really make a difference in a student’s life or in a College program.

Jack H. Kimball ‘49 of Goshen was such a donor. Mr. Kimball gave regularly to the Ag Phonathon beginning in 1970 and could always be counted on to give a large gift of stock to help meet the goal. Never wanting to establish a scholarship or a permanent endowment, he simply told us, “Just use my gift wherever it is needed.”

As a result, his gifts went to support scholarships and the Partners in Ag discretionary fund, which provides vital support to programs and activities that cannot be funded from other sources, such as career placement activities, Student Ambassadors, the staff recognition program, Roundup Week activities, and other advancement efforts.

We were saddened to learn that Mr. Kimball passed away on Jan.16, 2002. Yet through his estate, Mr. Kimball continues to be an ardent supporter. The Jack H. Kimball Charitable Remainder Trust is making gifts to numerous charities, including $760,394 to the College of Agriculture. As usual, the money is to go wherever it is needed.

“The College has been very fortunate to have Mr. Kimball as an alumnus,” said Bill Sheets, director for advancement. “It’s been a thrill to see him give so generously on an annual basis and make a huge impact on our programs.”

We will miss our special friend, but his spirit will live on in the lives that he has changed and the programs he has supported “wherever it was needed.”

This list was compiled using computerized methods. We have made every effort to assure that it is accurate. Any errors are unintentional and will be corrected if you contact the Agriculture Development Office.

Corporate Gifts Support Scientific
Discovery, Education
Many corporations, foundations, and organizations gave generously to the College in 2002.

Partnerships between universities and corporations are
sometimes misunderstood, and may even be viewed nega-
tively by some. Academic-business relationships should, and do, result in great leaps of scientific discovery as well as knowledge corporations put to use in products that benefit all of us.

These gifts also help us fulfill our mission to educate. Our graduate students, the scientists of tomorrow, often thanks to corporation-funded research, are able to take their textbook knowledge into the lab to work alongside our faculty.
Academic-business relationships benefit corporations as well, of course. Businesses reap the benefit of our scientists' expertise—it adds to their understanding of the science underlying their own products. But it is important to remember that research, although it may be funded by a private company, is carried out independent of that company, and more often than not, the discoveries it yields become part of the larger domain of public knowledge.

Why do companies give themselves over to our independent judgment? In part, because it is independent—and thus, all the more objective. Very few of these companies have research divisions that do the kind of basic science we do, but they still need the benefit of that science to better understand and refine the technology of their products. They gain knowledge. We (and the world at large) gain discovery, and students gain experience.

Here are some examples of corporate generosity at UK:

• Syngenta, the largest agri-chemical business in the world, has provided gift funding to the College that has advanced research in a variety of ways. In our independent evaluation of Syngenta products, for example, we have been able to discover which chemicals work best against turfgrass diseases, which pest control methods are most effective for fruits and vegetables, and find a class of chemical that fights blue mold in tobacco.
• Profigen Inc. wanted the benefit of the College's expertise in tobacco, now used extensively to study genetic modification. That expertise prompted Profigen to provide a gift for research in biotechnology.
• Star Scientific Inc. has endowed a professorship in plant biochemistry that Harold R. Burton now holds.
• Fort Dodge Animal Health has funded the study of equine diseases.

These are just a few examples of the kinds of research that go on in the College, thanks to the willingness of corporations to fund efforts that will benefit not only them, but the advancement of science, the education of students, and the public at large.

Winter Event 2002 was a jam-packed day of facts, fellowship, food, and fun at the Hyatt Regency. Quite a few alums came early and took advantage of the continuing education program in the afternoon (See Helping You Grow and Develop, page 13). Alumni then enjoyed a pre-game buffet before heading to the basketball game in which Kentucky beat High Point, 84-64. Plan now to attend Winter Event 2003.
