College Sponsored Stock Market Challenge NORTHERN COLORADO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS got a taste for what it means to trade stocks on the Big Board when they participated in the Junior Achievement Stock Market Challenge in Oc- tober in Loveland. Sponsored by the Monfort College of Business, the fast-paced simulated trading sessions pit student teams against one another as they try to create the highest net worth of their mock stock portfolios. The Junior Achievement program is designed to teach high school students the history, workings and significance of the stock exchange in a free market economy. The Stock Market Challenge is the culminating event in the program and involves students from six high schools in Northern Colorado. “We see this as a great opportunity for high school students to learn the workings of the market while having fun in a competitive environment,” said Joe Alexander, dean of the Monfort College of Business and emcee for the event. “Junior Achievement has been operating this program in Denver and other markets for some time. We are very pleased to be the first sponsor of this inau- gural event in Northern Colorado.” The competition is divided into two trading periods that simulate two months of trading. A new day begins every 60 seconds making for an intense experience that gives the students a feel for the real trading floor. Each team’s trades are entered into handheld computers and the information is immediately transferred to big screens for all participants to see. The team with the highest net worth at the end of the competition is the winner.

Blue skies, white peaks, breathtaking views and diverse wildlife. These are the hallmarks of Colorado’s environment and what make the state such a desirable place to live. But the value of the environment goes beyond a good postcard or calendar photo. How people understand and care for the environment is a passion for Teresa Higgins, assistant professor of biology at the University of Northern Colorado. Her work is to train teachers, including UNC students who plan to become teachers, in several national environmental education programs.

Some of the lessons are traditional, such as how a water- shed works or what materials come from trees. But other lessons are issue-oriented and timely, such as the reintro- duction of the wolf in Yellowstone National Park or the in- creasing number of mountain lion sightings in the Rocky Mountain foothills. “The projects are educationally sound with excellent content,” says Gerry Saunders, a former UNC associate professor of biology who coordinated Project WET in Colorado before Higgins. “But they also help teachers and students understand they are part of the natural system around them. These are critical connections to the world we tend to feel isolated from.” > Innovative Teacher Training As state coordinator for Project WET, Higgins’ works to get the environmental curriculum into Colorado public schools.

”One of the most visible states in which water moves is the liquid form. Water is seen flowing in streams and rivers and tumbling in ocean waves. Water travels slowly underground, seeping and filtering through parti- cles of soil and pores within rocks. Although unseen, water’s most dramatic movements take place during its gaseous phase.

–HOWARD SKINNER, RETIRED DEAN OF COLLEGE OF PERFORMING AND VISUAL ARTS

Since it is one of the few times that the performing and visual arts programs come together as a whole, I think it is a great way for not only the community to show its support for the arts, but also for all the programs to show support for one another.

They are the members of the Alumni Association and the foundation of private support that benefits the university. We thank every donor and celebrate the positive influence that each gift has made on the university and its students. On a personal note, my wife, Diane, and I are very happy to be in Greeley and to be closely associated with the university, since this past summer. It is a very special place, which Diane experienced first- hand when she pursued and received her doctorate degree here. We have a personal desire to see the university excel and our aspirations are fueled by the passion of the many alumni and friends who believe that we are only limited by the vision we have for education.

Keli S. McGregor Mary Jo Drew, MD, MHSA ’79 John and Debi Medved Jim and Alyce Miller “WHEN I WAS YOUNG, adults would always ask me Miriam Mitchell Trust what I wanted to be when I grew up,” Mary Jo Drew Dick and Chris Monfort remembers. “When I said ‘a doctor,’ some would respond, Jim and Shelli Moore ‘You mean a nurse?’ I had to be assertive and say, ‘No, I Joan Morley Randy and Chris Moser want to be a doctor.’ After graduating from the Univer- Randy Myers sity of Northern Colorado with a degree in biological Dave and Kim Nelson sciences, Drew went on to graduate from medical school Norm and Marty Noe at the University of Colorado. She is currently the division Vic and Edye Nottingham Michael and Saeko O’Dell head of Transfusion Medicine and the medical director of Richard O’Dell the Blood Bank at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. Ron Orland and Lisa Denby Drew supports an annual scholarship for pre-medicine Frank and Betty Ottesen students at UNC. The William J. DeAtherage Memorial Gerhardt Platz Paul and Geri Ploutz Scholarship honors her best friend and classmate who died Walter Pounds of AIDS. She has also given to other areas, including the Roger and Jennifer Poyer Ross Hall renovation to fund a conference room specifically David and Pat Pringle for the biology program. Lea Prothe Drew says she feels strongly about supporting science education and being a good female Chuck and Candis Putnik Richard Rangel mentor to other women who want to pursue medicine. Without her first female mentor, the Stephen and Susan Rector science teacher who piqued her interest in fourth grade, she might not have become a doctor. Jeri Rich Through financial support and mentorship, Drew hopes to inspire future medical professionals Freda T. Roof Trust at the University of Northern Colorado. Mary Golda Ross Chad and Kimberly Rutt “I think alumni need to get involved if they haven’t. They need to get back in touch with Bob and Lydia Ruyle their school to see the great stuff that is happening,” Drew says. “Once they support the place William Sanson that got them launched professionally, they’ll realize the impact it had on their lives.” Claude Schmitz The Selders Family Jim and Pam Shaw Donald and Elsie Cook Tim and Mary Hager Masoud and Vonda Shirazi Ken and Jackie Cook William and Enid* Hairston Mike and Lori Shoop Charmaine and John Coppom Donald and Joann Harris Marcia Siebring Jose Cordova Sharon Herdman Howard and Beverley Skinner David Cribari Steve and Ginger Hildred Russ and Amy* Smart Mae Cross Trust Dick and Carolyn Housden Brenda Smith Cheryl Kislinger Crouch Lee and Stephanie House Jerry and Joanne Stugart Darwin and Helen Dalzell Allen and Lily Huang George and Brindah Suresh Galen and Patty Darrough Guy Hunter* Fred and Linda Sutton Charles and Clydette de Groot Michael Hutchinson Steven and Barbara Taniguchi Tony and Judy DeNovellis Tim and Jayne Jares Virginia Thornton Michael and Carol Deutcher Robbie Johnson Mike and Judy Tormey Bob and Ludie Dickeson John and Rita Kadavy Les and Dorothee Trowbridge Jeff Dollarhide Kathleen Kaiser James Vaughn John and Marie Dollarhide Brian Kanaga Ed and Mary Ellen Vejvoda Mike and Sandra Duggan Nancy Kauffman Ronald and Terry Vlasin Larry and Phyllis Eaton Rodger and Pamela Kendrick Tim and Sally Warde Burt and Becky Edgren Steven Koets Marianne Whiteside Harold and Carol Evans Vito and Barbara LaBarbara Florence and Harold* Winograd Kenneth and Pamela Fadner Mark and Maureen Larson Kent and Diane Zaitz Mike and Lea Faulkner Bob and Jean Lawhead Chuck and Anita Zieman Zack and Loni Ferrier Charles and Marilyn Lindly Richard and Monica Fesler Gayle Lord Zeph Fogerson Mike and Marilynn Loustalet James and Sandra Frank Tamara Lowrie Elizabeth Franklin Marcia Ludden Linda French Bob and Terry Lynch Cody and Sherri Frye Jim Lowery and Karel Lyster-Lowery George Jaramillo and Lucille Gallegos- Amy Marasco-Newton Jaramillo Beth Marshall Terry and Jean Gamble Glenn and Lea Martin Wally and Nancy Goodwin Jack and Brenda Maughan Lowell and Suzy Graham Ken McConnellogue Raymond Grandfield Marian McCord Elvin Greenwell Judy Doubenmier McCormick Julianne Haefeli Glenn and Phyllis* McDonald * deceased

Glee Brooks ANNUAL GIVING Bruce Paquette Netta Carver-Page Elaine C. Prascher Annual gifts from Northern Colorado alumni and friends have a Helen Crosby Judy Rosen powerful impact on the lives of students. Each gift, regardless of Norman R. Dewhurst L. Douglas Rosenoff the dollar amount, makes a significant difference in the day-to-day Carol J. Dutton Kenneth L. Roskop Helen T. Esala experiences of current students. From top faculty to quality facilities, Wesley H. Sargent Mary J. Fahey ongoing annual support provides essential funding to virtually every Janette Schlater Dean F. Fleischauer college, school or program across campus. Michael J. Shonka Donald S. Groves It’s easy to assume that tuition covers the cost to run a top-quality John A. Shulene Jerry L. Hahn George A. Sluyter university. But the cost to educate a University of Northern Colorado Carroll R. Harr Gerald M. Smith student far exceeds what is paid in tuition. Annual gifts help to bridge Robert Heuermann Roland M. Smith the gap. Each gift helps move the university forward. As an added ben- Zelina Hickox Richard F. Struck Karel C. Hill efit, when more alumni donate annually, they help elevate the national Charles W. Sutter Douglas Hunter ranking of the university and its programs. This in turn helps increase Mary E. Sutter Glenna G. Innis the value of a Northern Colorado degree. Frederick L. Sutton Jimmie Ivie Want to make an impact? Give what you can and give each year. Joy Suzuki M. Tracy Jageman Robert M.

While he gradu- Rosemary Kreston ated from the University of Iowa, for the Gary Leonardson Jean Lewis past 15 years he and his wife, Marilyn, have George F. Lobisser become strong supporters of the University Nancy L. Lobisser of Northern Colorado through their MacAl- Robert Lundblad lister Scholars program. Jack knows that the Barbara Lynch Karin Martel teacher education scholarships have made an Jane M. McCarty impact; around 10 education students receive Virginia McColm scholarships each year, and these graduates Ben McCracken have gone on to touch the lives of thousands Gary B. McIntire Carol Meidinger of schoolchildren in Colorado and nationwide. Clifford Melton MacAllister first became interested in Larilyn Meyer UNC’s education program when former Gov. Andrea Meyers Roy Romer asked him to sit on the university’s board of trustees. He was impressed by the university’s Mollie M. Miles Richard R. Miles commitment to teacher education and soon felt compelled to do something to help improve the state Jay W. Miller of public education in Colorado. He started doing research and realized that many of the challenges in Cynthia E. Mills lower-income districts were related to issues of bilingual education. “I also learned that outstanding teach- Anne E. Molyneux ers could be good in almost any environment, and by coupling outstanding teachers with students who Richard L. Monfort Michael L. Morgan want to learn, you could improve education,” he says. Steven Morger Even though the impact of the scholarships continues to multiply, MacAllister also finds satisfaction in the Steven K. Moser notion that the program also honors his family. “My dad was a teacher and my father-in-law was a teacher,” Joseph F. Murdock he says. “So the idea of improving educational opportunities for everyone is a tribute to the work they did in Betty Ney Charlene Noland their lifetimes.” Evelyn Nordstrom
