12-7 Park Commencement Program Fall 2020.Indd Founded in 1875 in Parkville, Mo., a suburb of Kansas City, Park University is a comprehensive, independent institution that is a national leader in higher education. In 2000, Park achieved university status and currently serves 16,172 students at 41 locations in 22 states and online, including campuses in Parkville, Independence and Kansas City, Mo.; Lenexa, Kan., Austin and El Paso, Texas; Barstow and Victorville, Calif.; Gilbert, Ariz.; and at 32 military installations across the country. Serving an ethnically diverse student population and non-traditional adult learners has, for many years, been central to Park’s educational mission. Even in its first year, Park University enrolled women students as well as men, something that was unusual at the time; and two of the original 17 students were Native Americans. Park was also an early integrator when it welcomed African-American students to live in Park’s residence halls in the 1950s. Park continues to increase access to higher education by offering the quality undergraduate and graduate degrees students desire at locations, times and delivery formats that best serve their needs. The University has been ranked among the top private colleges/universities in the country for adult learners as well as for annual return on investment, and it is consistently ranked among the top least expensive private schools in the country. Providing such access has developed considerable diversity among the student population, with 253 international students from 58 countries, and a 55 percent student representation from racial, ethnic and cultural groups typically underrepresented in colleges and universities. In addition, extracurricular activities and championship-caliber athletic programs (NAIA) complement Park’s outstanding scholastic programs. Park University offers numerous degree programs online, and it maintains a long- standing relationship with the U.S. military for which it has been recognized as one of the largest providers of online undergraduate education to military learners worldwide. Since 2009, Park has received international recognition each year by various military-related publications as a top military friendly college/university. In addition, Park is among the top-ranked “best for vets” private colleges/universities in the country. 1 A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM ACTING PRESIDENT SHANE B.

    About the Artist Internationally acclaimed artist Richard Erdman makes the impossible occur on a routine basis: From the seemingly grounded to the truly ethereal, his sculptures express a vitality which transcends their temporality. The inspirations for his creations are multi-faceted and varied. They do, however, have a common thread evolving from the artist's own reverence for nature, which was crystallized during his early years in Vermont. Erdman grew up in Dorset, Vermont at the foothills of the oldest marble quarries in the U.S., not surprisingly, these early experiences greatly influenced this sculptor’s life and work. He marveled at the cavernous shapes and formations of the quarries whose weather-beaten layers and textures unveiled the mystery of stone. He also engaged his passion of joyous physicality and risk-taking, leaping from high quarry walls to the water below, challenged by new heights and dreams. These two elements, a love of the medium and an intimate relationship with nature’s raw energy and beauty, inform his work today. Richard’s adaptability and his intimate understanding of the materials with which he sculpts have led to the creation of a prolific body of work which encompasses intimate maquettes to massive monumental works. Known for his forward-thinking, modern adaptations of marble and bronze sculptures in graceful, flowing designs, Richard Erdman’s massive marble sculptures weighing up to 50 tons defy gravity, bringing warmth and light to their resilient stone bodies. The artist’s work has been shown in more than 160 solo and group exhibitions throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.

    January 3, 2014 Mr. Howard Stephenson President Utah Taxpayers Association 656 East 11400 S Suite R Draper, UT 84020 Re: HREC Lodging Impact Analysis Proposed Convention Center Hotel – Salt Lake City, UT Dear Mr. Stephenson: Pursuant to our engagement letter dated February 5, 2013, Hospitality Real Estate Counselors, Inc. (“HREC”) has evaluated the potential lodging revenue impacts (positive, negative or neutral) resulting from development of the proposed Convention Center Hotel (the “Hotel”) to be located in downtown Salt Lake City. The potential impact was analyzed generally as it relates to the downtown Salt Lake City lodging market, and specifically as it relates to the anticipated competitive set of the proposed Hotel’s comparable lodging facilities. Hunden Strategic Partners assisted HREC in the preparation of this study. Their contribution involved surveying group meeting planners and completing a comparative analysis of the Salt Palace Convention Center to other centers. Purpose The impact analysis and accompanying written consulting report is for the use of the Utah Taxpayers Association in assessing the potential room revenue impact of the new hotel development. It is our understanding that our analysis may also be made available as a public document. Brief Development Project Summary and Assumptions Based on information reviewed and conversations with Visit Salt Lake, we assume the proposed Hotel would offer 1,000 guestrooms, 80,000 to 100,000 square feet of in-house meeting and banquet facilities, multiple food and beverage outlets, and other amenities typical of an upscale full-service convention hotel. The Hotel would be located directly adjacent to or attached to the Salt Palace (currently numerous sites proposed).
