Although the University of Nevada, Reno is a state institution, it receives only part of its necessary funding from state appropriations. The University of Nevada, Reno Foundation was established in 1981 to help the University meet its needs beyond that base funding by generating private support. The foundation is governed by a volunteer board of trustees who can serve three consecutive two-year terms. Trustees are made up of University alumni and friends who provide counsel in strategic planning, education, fundraising and other matters. The following members are serving for the 2011 calendar year:

29 Ab o out end wments and the legacy they create The next few pages list endowments at Nevada. Like all gifts to the University of Nevada, Reno, endowed gifts contribute to the high quality of education, research and outreach. Endowments are particularly powerful because they deliver a dependable, perpetual source of funding. Both the University of Nevada, Reno Foundation and the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents manage funds created by our generous alumni, friends and partners. Although the gift is made today, it continues to generate additional funds in perpetuity because the original gift is never spent. The gift is invested and only a portion of the earnings may be used for the donor’s designated wishes for a specific purpose, whether for faculty, student or program support.

Foundation Scholarship Endowments Never has there been a greater need for private student support on the University of Nevada, Reno campuses. Today’s economy has made it more difficult than ever to afford a higher education, Nevada’s best and brightest students are able to achieve their educational aspirations because of the foresight of the friends and alumni who have established endowed scholarship funds. The following is a list of endowed scholarship funds providing awards at Nevada:

39 Faculty & Staff Contributions from faculty and staff help build Nevada’s quality and prestige. More importantly, gifts from faculty and staff tell alumni and friends that those closest to the University—those who know it best, from the inside out—believe so strongly in the success of Nevada’s students that they are willing to support the institution through charitable gifts, as well as on the job. That’s a powerful endorsement for which the foundation is truly grateful. Faculty and staff have seen firsthand what a difference private support can make in everything from student scholarships to ongoing support for research projects, curriculum enhancements and technology upgrades. The following is a list of current, emeritus and former faculty and staff, or their surviving spouses, who made an investment in Nevada in 2010.

She is on course to graduate this summer and hopes to pursue professional basketball in the WNBA.

We saw unprecedented support as more than 25,000 Wolf Pack fans traveled to San Francisco for the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Perhaps more importantly, this support provided close to 50,000 meals for the hungry in our community. In addition, Wolf Pack Athletics raised just more than $5 million in scholarship and programmatic support. None of this would have been possible without the wonderful support of our alumni and fans. In 2012, Wolf Pack Athletics will make a historic move to the Mountain West Conference. In April of this year, we will launch the largest capital campaign in Wolf Pack history. This five-year campaign will provide us with the much-needed funds to compete in the Mountain West Conference. We are asking everyone in our community to be a part of this monumental campaign and move us into the next chapter of Wolf Pack Athletics. In the coming months, you will see a wealth of information about this campaign, and I urge you to become involved. We experienced such a sense of pride and uplifted spirit in our community during the 2010 season, and especially leading up to the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Your participation in this campaign will provide Wolf Pack Athletics with the means to sustain this continued success. For more information on the campaign, visit www.movingtothemountain.com or contact one of the Athletics Development staff, (775) 682-6902. GO PACK!

The University of Nevada, Reno Honor Court was dedicated in 1997 and celebrates the contributions of campus and community leaders. The Honor Court, with its tranquil and beautiful park-like setting, is situated at the south end of campus adjacent to the University’s historic Quadrangle. Towering elm trees nearby were planted in 1908, and the Quadrangle, modeled after Thomas Jefferson’s design for the University of Virginia, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The dramatic 45,000-pound, 20-foot granite obelisk listing the University’s philanthropists, anchors the Honor Court to the south. A series of impressive pillars, carved from 200,000 pounds of white granite mined from the nearby Sierra Nevada Range, features the names of major donors, award-winning faculty, students, employees and community members who have contributed to the University’s history and success. The centerpiece of the Honor Court is a gazebo with trellises of blue and white flowering wisteria. The vines and the adjacent rose garden, are among the plants selected for the Honor Court by the University Arboretum. A peaceful and natural boulder fountain—which traces in granite the silhouette of the mountains beyond—flanks the Patron area of the Honor Court. The engraved pillars, ranging from 10 to 14 feet tall, from rough cut to polished granite, were arranged naturally by the Honor Court designer and sculptor, Johannes Schwartlander. Struck by the beauty of the campus, his design incorporated historical elements and the natural grandeur of the area. The Honor Court was constructed solely through private gifts and the philanthropy of local contractors who provided, at no cost, much of the labor and materials. Expertise in splitting boulders was provided by faculty in the University’s Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, the design for the Honor Court is the work of the renowned architectural

firm Backen, Arrigoni and Ross. Nev a d

Nevada Alumni Association What was the most memorable moment of the 2010-11 Wolf Pack football season?

Sara Robbins ’10 (journalism) Reno. Hands down, the Boise State victory was one of the most incredible moments for any Nevada student or fan, past, present, and even the future. It was truly our shining moment and one that will sit at the top of the Wolf Pack history books for the rest of our lives.

Amir Reza Shoja-Taheri, Reno. Brotzman’s first miss! My wrist still kinda hurts from punching the stands, celebrating that very moment!

Robert Charpentier, Reno. It’s kind of like asking what the best part of Star Wars was … WHEN THEY BLEW UP THE FREAKIN’ DEATH STAR! I’ll leave it up to you to figure out what the Death Star was in UNR’s 2010/11 campaign.

Michael J. Bacon ’89 (Spanish), Carson City. When Nevada came to San Francisco by the thousands—and won.

Desiree L. Gould ’89 (Spanish) Pullman, Wash. Getting to see them play in Idaho. I know it was a blowout and all, but I haven’t seen a Nevada game since I graduated. Check me out with Alphie :-)

Rick Lambert ’80 (mining engineering), Ontario, Canada. Has to be the beating of BSU!

Cyndy Larsen Jacobsmeyer ’75 (nursing), Walnut Creek, Calif. Being there in a sea of blue and silver while beating BSU—and connecting with a dear friend from my years there in the 70s with my current friends! Priceless!

Lars Savadina ’83 (speech/theater), Las Vegas. ‎“THE” most memorable moment is the win over BOISE. “My” most memorable is having drinks with friends at the Hyde-Out in San Francisco the night before the Kraft Bowl, and the bouncer was a former Boise player. We tore him up!

Deborah Ussery, Reno. After being booed on the airplane from Denver to Reno by Boise fans … then watching the “walk of shame” down Virginia Street after the game … hahahaa … loved every minute of it!

Jeff Pickett ’89 (finance) Reno.The impromptu chanting of WOLF! PACK! among 400 strangers at the Irish Bank pub in Union Square.
