2011 Report2.indd 1 5/3/12 2:02 PM A Message from the Chairman niversity

Dear Friends: u

I am pleased to report that 2011 was another highly successful year for Woodbury University. oodbury

Despite continuing domestic and global economic challenges, Woodbury once again W distinguished itself by 1) maintaining positive enrollment trends, 2) achieving its 15th consecutive year of positive operating results, and 3) expanding both the breadth and the quality of its academic programs. Other specific highlights of 2011 can be summarized as follows: • The establishment of three new academic majors in the fast growing fields of Filmmaking, Game Art & Design and Media Technology.

• The undergraduate Architecture program being ranked #7 and our graduate Report 2011 President’s Architecture program being ranked #10 among all colleges and universities in the Western Region of the United States.

• Woodbury being listed in the 2011 edition of “Colleges of Distinction,” a national publication for students and parents selecting colleges and universities.

• Partnering with Mercedes-Benz, Peking University in China and Free University in Berlin to offer an innovative MBA program for Mercedes-Benz managers. In 2011, the Board of Trustees also announced a nationwide Presidential Search to succeed President Kenneth R. Nielsen, who plans to retire on June 30, 2012, after 16 years of remarkably distinguished service and achievements at Woodbury University. 2 Dr. Nielsen will be sorely missed, but his many accomplishments will continue to benefit our new President and the University for many years to come. As alumni, parents, and friends, your financial support of Woodbury is critical to our future success and to the life long success of our deserving students. Typically, over 80% of our students need financial aid to complete their education. Other pressing needs include gifts to build endowment and unrestricted gifts to help fund specific academic programs. The Board of Trustees joins me in thanking you for your most generous support, as listed in this year’s Annual Report, and encouraging you to keep Woodbury “top of mind” as you think about your future philanthropic priorities. Sincerely,

Robert W. Kummer, Jr. Chairman, Board of Trustees

2011 Report2.indd 2 5/8/12 6:03 PM A Message from the President niversity

Dear Friends, u

As we look back on 2011 in this annual report, what stands out to me about the past year at Woodbury University is the remarkable capacity of the Woodbury community to create opportunities. The heart of those opportunities resides in the dreams of our oodbury W robust student body, outstanding faculty members, dedicated staff, successful alumni, dedicated Trustees and generous friends. Each of these constituencies supports our Woodbury education that is focused on innovation, creativity, and forward-thinking leadership. Our academic excellence is grounded and rooted in a collaborative pursuit of knowledge where professors and students are partners in the learning process and they use practical information based on theory. Our faculty, both adjunct and full time, have rich experiences that they

bring to the classroom that goes beyond book learning. Part of our current challenge Report 2011 President’s is going beyond traditional classroom boundaries to build a global gateway for our students so that they understand their place in the world. In California, private universities such as Woodbury will play an increasingly important role in meeting this need as the state’s public institutions of higher education struggle to meet critical demands for an educated workforce that can compete in a global economy. In this year’s report, we are pleased to profile representative members of the Woodbury administration, faculty, and staff who help build the connections between the University and the professional and regional communities where we live and work. Through their efforts, each of these individuals is indicative of the work that brings the community to Woodbury and Woodbury to the community. 3 My retirement this summer means that this is the last annual report message that I write. I am confident that Woodbury’s next president will continue to expand on what we’ve already accomplished and that new ideas and new directions will be shaped to meet the needs of the future. The future belongs to Woodbury, and every member of the Woodbury community is contributing to the future that we will all be proud of. I thank you for the opportunity that I have had to use my talents here at Woodbury University and urge you to consider the following pages of this report as evidence of the many reasons that Woodbury is confident that the future is bright. Thank you to all our valued friends and supporters, students, contributors, faculty, and staff. You’re part of something special that has endured and prospered for more than 127 years. Sincerely,

Kenneth R. Nielsen, Ed.D. President

2011 Report2.indd 3 5/3/12 2:02 PM Building Completion Made Possible by the niversity u Generosity of the Ahmanson Foundation

The University received confirmation in April that oodbury

the Ahmanson Foundation will provide $500,000 W of support as a capstone to the Title V grant that the university received from the Department of Education. This generous gift will help to complete the construction of a Digital Media Studio, which will be utilized by the new filmmaking, media technology, and game design majors. The Digital Media Studio will house a stage complex, screening room, audition room and equipment cage that will total approximately Report 2011 President’s 4,841 square feet. The Digital Media Studio is expected to be completed by summer 2012. Future filmmaking building entrance under construction by S3 Builders – a Burbank based firm. Bruce Cook, Chair of the Digital Filmmaking program said, “The completion of this building would not be possible if it wasn’t for the generous donation of the Ahmanson Foundation. We are most appreciative of the Ahmanson Foundation and its impact on Woodbury.”

In the last ten years, the Ahmanson Foundation has been a constant and generous supporter of the University. Prior to this current grant, the Foundation provided support during the Building Initiative which led to the naming of the Ahmanson Main Space located in the architecture complex. 4 To learn more about the digital filmmaking program, please contact Bruce Cook at 818.252.5191 or email [email protected]. Fabric Fund Created Alumna and Board of Trustees member, Judith D. Tamkin ’49, generously initiated a fabric fund for senior fashion design students.

One outfit from each of their collections will be donated to the silent auction at the fashion show benefit in April with proceeds going back into the fabric fund for the next class.

July Woodbury Goes To Tahiti Sixteen students, two of whom were graduate architecture students, four interior architecture students and ten undergraduate architecture students ventured off to Tahiti for a study abroad experience this summer. Ingalill 7 Wahlroos-Ritter, Masters of Architecture department chair, and Randy Stauffer, chair of the Interior Architecture department, were the co-instructors for the program. It was an eleven week studio in which four weeks were spent on the islands of Tahiti and six weeks back on the Burbank campus. The students departed on May 15th and returned on June 13th. Studio on the Burbank campus ended the last week of July.

According to Wahlroos-Ritter, “The project was to design a pre-fabricated kit-house for the islands of French Polynesia. The project was located on the island of Moorea, at the Gump Station which is a research station run by UC Berkeley. The students’ assignments were to conduct field work, research, data collection, measurement, interviews, drawing and design, which allow the students to develop specific skill sets of observation, transformation, Photo provided by architecture student, Kevin Wild. and synthesis.”

“It was more than an influential experience, says Kevin Wild, fifth year architecture student. “Just take a look at my thesis. It was my best architecture experience thus far.” For Wild, there is nothing like interacting with the culture, being fully immersed in it. To think about design and culture from what you read in a book or are taught in the classroom is one thing, but to actually experience it is another. You won’t be able to fully understand the culture until you experience it firsthand. Wild hopes that similar trips continues for years to come. Such trip opens people’s eyes to a whole new way of thinking about design.

August Start of the Digital Filmmaking Program niversity

August marks the beginning of a new major offered at Woodbury, u

Digital Filmmaking, thanks in part to a multimillion dollar Title V grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Digital Filmmaking falls under the School of Media, Culture & Design and is chaired by Dr. Bruce Cook. Twenty three students enrolled this semester in the Digital oodbury Filmmaking program, which surpassed the target enrollment of W eighteen. The majority of students are local area freshmen. However, the program also attracted students from as far away as Alaska and the Netherlands. The first class of Digital Filmmaking majors will graduate in May 2013.

According to Dr. Cook, Woodbury is unique to other colleges that offer filmmaking degrees because we are not “silo-ized.” The goal here is to allow students to cross program boundaries by working with fashion design students for costumes, architecture and interior design students

to build sets, business students to pitch, market and distribute their Report 2011 President’s films, while animation and graphic design students can add visual Photo provided by Dr. Bruce Cook, chair of the Digital Filmmaking elements to the finished product. Plus, students are able to use a program. camera right away, unlike ones experienced in most film programs. Dr. Cook’s goal for the students is to “have their own creative voice while working in collaborative teams. The technical skills are easy to teach, the technique of working collaboratively is not.” By working with students from other programs, he hopes to build the students’ soft skills needed to work in teams. Dr. Cook’s plan is to make Woodbury a magnet for international students as well. His ultimate goal is to create a “one world, one cinema environment, crossing the international boundaries of filmmaking.”

The filmmaking students were enrolled in the following classes for the fall semester: Storyboarding for Film, Film History from 1895-1950, Intermediate Digital Filmmaking and Advanced Screenwriting. There have been some amazing results from these classes in just one semester. The Digital Filmmaking class created four short films that have been picked up as webisodes for the SyFy Channel. Everyone that was enrolled in the Screenwriting course completed a feature length screenplay by the end of the semester, not an easy feat. The future is looking very bright for this film program. 8

September Legendary Actor Receives the Creativity Award The Woodbury University Library Associates bestowed veteran actor Malcolm McDowell with the Ray Bradbury Creativity Award on Sunday, September 25th. Mr. McDowell, perhaps best known as the iniquitous Alex DeLarge, in A Clockwork Orange, a role for which the American Film Institute named the 12th greatest movie villain of all time, has starred in a myriad of film and TV productions. Mr. McDowell’s family and friends gathered, along with fans and film aficionados in the Fletcher Jones Foundation Auditorium where he regaled the audience with stories drawn from his forty year career.

The purpose of the Library Associates is to focus attention on the needs of today’s library and raise money for library resources, library services, library facilities, and library technologies. For over ten years, the Woodbury University Library Associates has sponsored a series of lectures. The fall lecture features the presentation of the Ray Bradbury Creativity Award, named for the famed author of the science-fiction classics Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles. The award recipient is determined by Mr. Bradbury each year, along with the input of the Library Associates Board. Malcolm McDowell
