President’s Report 2015 03

Welcome Message from the President

Dear State Family:

This has truly been an exciting and memorable year for West Virginia State University! Together, we have energetically focused on telling the State story through an active commitment to excellence, accountability, student-centeredness, research, teaching and service. And, as you will see within the pages of the 2015 President’s Report, our efforts are yielding powerful results.

In the past year, West Virginia State University has taken great strides in enhancing and diversifying our academic offerings, while actively broadening relations with constituents worldwide. For instance, we are proud to announce that, beginning in 2016, three degree programs will be offered completely online. And our newly-launched English as a Second Language (ESL) program, which will lead to an even more diverse student population and globalization of our community, allows us to expand our global footprint, while at the same time providing much-needed educational enrichment opportunities to international students.

In addition, we also announced the University’s first-ever Capital Campaign, Realize the Promise, Deliver the Future, with the goal of raising $18 million by 2017. And, with the current amount at $12.2 million, it is evident this increased investment in our great institution is poised to significantly enhance the lives of Yellow Jackets, now and for generations to come.

Bolstered by the enduring commitment, unmatched dedication and abundant passion of our exceptional students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends, West Virginia State University has set in motion an undeniably remarkable future. As we maintain our focus on responsible, exciting growth at every level of the campus community, it is indisputably clear that a powerful, impactful future is in store for West Virginia State University.

GO STATE!

With warmest appreciation,

Brian O. Hemphill, Ph.D. President

Message from the WVSU Foundation

The WVSU Foundation is proud to partner with West Virginia State University to raise and manage funds for the benefit of the University and its students. There has never been a more exciting time to be engaged in that work. Three consecutive, record-breaking years of giving and the public launch of WVSU’s first-ever Capital Campaign, Realize the Promise, Deliver the Future, have inspired all of us to expand our vision of what we can and must do to ensure that today’s students, and students for many years to come, have the very best opportunity for success.

With the strong leadership of President Brian O. Hemphill and the generous support of all those listed in the Honor Roll of Donors, $4,201,600 in gifts and pledges were received during the 2014-2015 fiscal year. We also increased participation in giving with 1,163 individuals and organizations making gifts.

While these statistics are compelling, the real story is in the lives that are changed as a result of this outpouring of support. Because you give, students have the opportunity to pursue their dream of a college education and faculty members have the resources they need to develop and sustain academic programs that are meeting the economic development needs of the region. Because you give, West Virginia State University has unlimited potential.

Please join us in considering what you can do to make 2015-2016 an even more successful year!

With gratitude,

The ampaign for West Virginia State University

President Brian O. Hemphill announced an increased fundraising goal during Homecoming 2014 for the University’s ongoing Capital Campaign, Realize the Promise, Deliver the Future, to $18 million by 2017. This is the first-ever Capital Campaign for WVSU, which began in 2010 and has since been re-envisioned and relaunched.

As of June 30, 2015, more than $12.2 million has been received to support scholarships, academic programs and faculty support, student success, capital improvements, information and technology and the WVSU Fund. Gifts to the Campaign are transforming West Virginia State University in profound ways. • Eighty-six new scholarships have been created since the beginning of the Campaign, with giving to scholarships totaling nearly $5.8 million. • During the 2014-2015 academic year, 15 Research Rookies were able to pursue research with a faculty mentor thanks to generous funding from American Electric Power, Dow and AT&T. Four of these students were chosen to participate at the West Virginia Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol; two presented at the National American Chemical Society Conference; and one presented at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference 2015. • The Gregory V. Monroe Athletic Complex, which opened in March 2015, was constructed entirely through private donations, including leadership gifts from Gregory V. Monroe, Sr., BrickStreet Insurance, The WVSU National ‘W’ Club, Dr. Elias G. Haikal, The Bernard H. and Blanche E. Jacobson Foundation, John L. Ray, Huntington Bank and John L. Davidson, III. • The University’s mission in public service was enhanced through a generous gift from the BrickStreet Foundation to create the BrickStreet Balancing the Equation for Student Success program at Mary C. Snow West Side Elementary School. This gift, in partnership with a grant from the Herbert Henderson Office of Minority Affairs, is benefiting 300 students and educators through an innovative, intensive program to boost reading and language arts skills, as well as science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills.
