a year of transformation | 1 2 | a year of transformation Message from the Foundation Chair This year’s annual report focuses on transition. Fiscal year 2008 proved to be a year of great changes at the university. The opening of University Commons, major renovations to the library and Florence Kopleff Recital Hall, and the announcement of football are just a few examples that you will read about in this report. Of course, the retirement of President Carl Patton after 16 incredible years is bittersweet. His accomplishments are noteworthy and his legacy is this vibrant institution, which will continue to move forward.

Attending college is definitely a time of transition. I remember when I entered Georgia State’s College of Law. After spending several years as a teacher, returning to a classroom setting where I was the student was a significant change for me. My law professors challenged me, forcing me to think with a legal mindset and equipping me with the skills I needed to effectively understand and interpret law to improve public education for future generations.

As an alumna and donor, part of my commitment to this growing university is to provide the resources for students to experience the same opportunities that transformed my life.

Sincerely,

Catherine C. Henson ‘89 Chair Georgia State University Foundation

Message from the university President It is with great satisfaction that I write this message to you after having served as Georgia State University’s president and as a trustee of the Georgia State University Foundation for more than 16 years. Private support was an underdeveloped concept at the university when I arrived. Throughout the years, the financial support of donors has helped shape Georgia State into a major, urban research university.

Your gifts have provided deserving students and faculty the opportunity to expand their knowledge and better themselves and our global community. You have allowed all the concepts envi- sioned in the first Main Street Master Plan to be implemented. As a place where students live, learn and work, the Georgia State campus has become a vibrant community well connected with the city. The university’s transformation would not be occurring without your support.

It has been a great privilege to be a part of this impressive institution. As you look through the pages of this year’s annual report, you will notice the significant impact your dollars have made to the university. I look forward to continuing to support Georgia State in all its future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Carl V. Patton President Georgia State University

Warrior ’85, ’90 Morgan Stanley 6 | a year of transformation transforming athletics Atlanta is primed, pumped and ready to rally around a new college sports team. Students appreciate a “well-rounded” academic experience—books, friends and stands full of fans. Alumni adore circling back to their alma mater in droves— often in face paint. So, in 2008, Georgia State University announced that it was ready to offer a solution to all those left wanting—after 95 years, a Panther football team. It never would have happened without private donations. I have seen the value of private donations to intercollegiate athletics at every stop in my career. It is the sine qua non of startup programs. Sure, contracting Dan Reeves as football consultant, securing an unprecedented student vote to raise athletic fees, and hiring veteran Coach Bill Curry to lead the team into its first season made endless Saturdays on the turf a feasible idea. But private contributions made it a reality. “I have seen the value of private donations to intercollegiate athletics at every stop in my career. It is the sine qua non of startup programs,” says Coach Curry, “their reason for being; without which, there would be nothing.”

Sine qua non. A playbook without an author. A fight song without a musician to play it. This is not to say that there would be no Georgia State University without football. Just that there would be no football for Georgia State University without you—the donor, the student, the alumnus, the lover of the great American com- munion of sport and academics. “We simply could not function without our alumni and student generosity,” Coach Curry adds. “We are most appreciative of our supporters.”

a year of transformation | 7 Transforming the University Ask the Georgia State Board of Regents what it means to replace an outgoing president like Carl V. Patton, and they’ll tell you what every student, faculty and staff member already knows: that a force this meaningful to the fabric of an institution just isn’t easily replaced. It’s been 16 years since Dr. Patton left his post as the University of Toledo’s vice president of academic affairs to travel east to a commuter college in the heart of Atlanta—and 16 years since that university began to transform, becoming one of the most respected research universities in the southeast. Look at the work that’s been done, and it’s obvious that it’s all a matter of planning. Perhaps more urban pioneer than academic, Dr. Patton has brought the benefit of his degrees in urban development, community planning and public policy to the revitalization of the Georgia State campus. From the launching of the Main Street Master Plan and its ongoing billion dollar expansion, to the school’s first major capital campaign and the repositioning of Georgia State sports to a more visible conference, Dr. Patton has devoted the best of his unique expertise to his leader- ship of Georgia State. But it is the personal commitment of both he and his wife Gretchen that is perhaps the most remarkable gift of all. In addition to being two of its most active advocates, Carl and Gretchen Patton are also among the university’s most generous private supporters—having given $275,000 of their own money to the school. Dedicated to a diversity of causes, the Pattons find personally relevant, these programs have one main goal in common: to continue the ongoing in-growth of the school into the fabric of the largest city in the south. The Children’s Collection—Georgia State Library As an unmistakable symbol of the president’s dedication to enrichment of the Georgia State educational experience, during 2003-2004, the Pattons donated not only nearly $50,000 and 13,000 titles to the Georgia State Library, but a large chunk of their personal collection of children’s books amassed over years as parents and grandparents. The Pattons’ only direction according to Charlene Hurt, dean of libraries, was this passionate appeal: “Read to your children!” The business and law professional Center Envisioned as a unique melding of law and business designed for opportunities across disciplines and between the university and the Atlanta community, the Business and Law Professional Center physically combines portions of the

8 | a year of transformation university’s College of Law and J. Mack Robinson College of Business. During Dr. Patton’s tenure, the Center has completed planning and is now ready to begin fund raising. And it couldn’t have been done without private contributions, says Charles Edwards, assistant dean for corporate relations at the Robinson College of Business: “Public funds provide for day to day operations. Private giving is nec- essary to allow the university the freedom to develop and execute initiatives that truly transform lives.” The Presidential Scholarship Since 1990, 135 Presidential Scholarships have been awarded to high-achieving, low-income students. Left behind by the HOPE Scholarship, these recipients cannot otherwise afford the costs of school and life in a pricey urban environment To help, this scholarship allows students to truly live in the moment of their educations and in the city that houses them, offering a comprehensive package that combines tuition with money for housing, expenses and an opportunity to participate in a summer research program. “The goal is to facilitate the academic and professional development of outstanding students so that they will be leaders on campus and in the larger Atlanta community,” adds Greg Chisholm, Georgia State scholars program coordinator.

For students, faculty and staff to know the president and his wife are willing to give their own money to further support the outreach initiatives in which they are engaged speaks volumes and validate the winner’s continued outreach

The President’s Awards of Excellence “From day one, Dr. Patton has been committed to making the university and the city better places to learn, live and work,” says Lovell Lemons, director of the Georgia State Office of Civic Engagement. Awarded to one student, student organi- zation, faculty or staff member, university outreach program and one community partner each year, this award embodies all that the Patton legacy promises to Georgia State—rewarding connective service across campus and the community at large. As much of the Pattons’ work, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy: “For students, faculty and staff to know the president and his wife are willing to give their own money to further support the outreach initiatives in which they are engaged speaks volumes and validates the winner’s continued outreach,” says Lemons.

a year of transformation | 9 Transforming Music A dedicated performer from an early age, Florence Kopleff auditioned as a contralto for well-known conductor Robert Shaw during her senior year of college, and as a result became a soloist with the Grammy-winning Robert Shaw Chorale. She went on to build a national reputation as a soloist while performing with the American Opera Society, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and other major orchestras. Kopleff came to Georgia State University in 1968 as the School of Music’s first artist-in-residence. As an instructor, Ms. Kopleff was caring, tough and honest. Students loved her classes and knew that if they worked as hard as she expected them to they would emerge as stronger performers and artists. Music is a natural inheritance of all peoples. Often it can be the key, along with all the arts, to unlocking a person.

Sue Williams MM ‘83, a former student of Kopleff, recalls, “Music is a natural inheritance of all peoples. Often it can be the key, along with all the arts, to unlocking a person, to revealing all the meaning, emotion and beauty that can be integrated into a life. Florence insisted that her students not only use that key but use it to the very best of their ability.”

Today, though retired, Florence Kopleff continues to make a difference in the lives of talented students in the School of Music. She established a scholarship in 1984 and has left a bequest to support vocal performance at Georgia State through her estate. Kopleff also made significant contributions to the renovation of the school’s 36-year-old recital hall, now named in her honor. A new stage floor, surround-sound system, orchestra pit and aisle expansion are just a few changes that make up the $3 million renovation of the Florence Kopleff Recital Hall. The transformation enhances the hall’s acoustics, which have been the strongest fea- ture of the venue since it first opened. “The Kopleff Recital Hall’s intimate setting and high-quality acoustics makes it one of the best venues in Atlanta for smaller ensembles,” boasts Associate Dean for the Fine Arts Ralph Gilbert. To honor the tremendous impact of Florence Kopleff and that of other stellar music faculty members, additional alumni and university friends made significant gifts to the School of Music for the recital hall. Sue Williams and her husband Neil supported the renovations. Tom and Ann Cousins also recognized the importance of the hall’s transformation. The Charles Thomas Wurm Lobby of the recital hall is named for Tom Cousins’ grandfather, an instrumental musician. Atlanta music legends Bill Lowery and his wife Billie endowed The Bill and Billie Lowery Family Green Room, providing superb rehearsal and concert preparation space in the hall. The dedication that propelled Kopleff to excellence as a vocalist and teacher and prominence as a member of the Robert Shaw Chorale continues to resonate in her relationship as a donor with Georgia State’s School of Music. It inspires young musicians to attain great things in a hall that is worthy of their talents.

10 | a year of transformation Transforming Responsibilities “If you want to know where a person’s heart is, look at their checkbook,” says Tom Lewis, Georgia State’s Senior Vice President of External Affairs. Interestingly, peek inside Tom Lewis’ checkbook, and it’s obvious where his heart lies—with the University he’s loved, supported and served for nearly two decades.

Eighteen years ago, Lewis left a chief of staff position with outgoing Governor Joe Frank Harris to lend his time and talents to Georgia State— years he now quantifies as “the best of a great career.” On November 30, 2008, Tom Lewis will retire but his presence will forever be felt on the Georgia State campus. If you’re truly committed to what you believe in, you also must be just as committed to supporting it.

Over his tenure, Lewis has personally contributed to a generous handful of schools, projects and programs, the selection of which were hardly accidental. In keeping with the mission of his post in External Affairs (an office whose goal is to promote the ongoing image and recognition of the university), Lewis’ donations often benefitted programs with the potential for self-fulfilling, gyroscopic support. Projects like the Rialto Center, bringing school and city together over performance; the J. Mack Robinson College of Business, fostering new generations of leaders and donors; and Athletics, toward a “real university experience” designed to bring alumni and their dollars back home game after game. “I’m not even an alumnus, but I believe in Georgia State,” Lewis says when asked about why he, or anyone, should give. “And if you’re truly committed to what you believe in, you also must be just as committed to supporting it.”

a year of transformation | 11 Transforming opportunities Established in 1999 by Ambassador Andrew Young and named in honor of his wife, the Carolyn McClain Young Leadership Fund supports a very special group of Georgia State University students—current and future international leaders in the areas of foreign policy, finance, private business and government. Up to four students from emerging economies in Africa and the Caribbean are awarded scholarships from this fund each year. This generous gift can often change much about a young recipient’s future—from school to career to life itself.

Grace Chikoto Grace Chikoto is from Harare, Zimbabwe, a country that is in her words, “going through a rather rough patch economically and politically.” Fortunately, things weren’t always this way, and she remembers a time when citizens left regularly to see the world, gain educations abroad, and then re- turn to better their homeland. And this, for Grace, is exactly what the Carolyn Young Scholarship will allow her to accomplish.

Chikoto was awarded the scholarship in 2002 when she joined Georgia State Uni- versity’s Master of Public Administration program, and again when she enrolled in the joint Ph.D. program in 2004. “This was truly a God-sent and rare opportunity that is not available to many,” she says of the award and the opportunities it offered. “The dropout rate is very high among those who venture here without any solid financial support. The peace of mind the scholarship offers allows me to fully focus on and commit to my education, thus removing any worry about whether I will be able to complete what I have started owing to insufficient funding.”

Today Grace is a Ph.D. candidate enrolled in Georgia State’s public policy program, where she looks forward to graduation, a possible assistant professorship, and her chance to “make a difference.” For her part, she feels blessed. “I thank God and Mrs. Carolyn Young for this honor. I feel extremely fortunate.”

Solomon Tesfu Solomon Tesfu is, at heart, an educator. Currently working full-time to complete dissertation requirements for a Ph.D. in economics, he looks upon his Carolyn Young Scholarship as a sure road toward enriching the skills of the less fortunate in his home city of Addis Ababa. “I’m sure that Carolyn McClain Young, a great educator herself, would love to see me teaching future gen- erations in a developing country where higher education is still a luxury to most people,” he says of his post-graduation plans.

Tesfu’s scholarship awards in 2005, 2006 and 2007 have allowed him the focus needed to work diligently toward that future—as well as consider the lessons of his past on the other side of the world. A resident of Ethiopia, “one of the oldest independent countries in the world, but a place lately known for extreme poverty and recurrent famine,” Solomon cites his upbringing as motivation for pursuing a career in economics—and education. “As someone brought up in the midst of extreme poverty and as someone who would wish to make some contribution towards fighting it, economics came as a natural choice to me. The economics department at Georgia State is one that is growing quite fast while others are declining.”

The main reason why I ultimately decided to join Georgia State University was the generosity of the Carolyn McClain Young Scholarship. It is not an exaggeration if I say the scholarship was “manna from heaven” for me.

12 | a year of transformation Transforming College Life Q&A Living in the University Commons Dia Burton—Junior, Early Childhood Education major from Morrow, Georgia Kelly Minor—Junior, Psychology major from Denver, Colorado Georgia State University’s newest on-campus housing complex, University Commons, opened for students in August 2007. A short walk to class, the Student Recreation Center and the Student Center, University Commons houses over 2,000 students in two- and four-bedroom apartments. The complex is comprised of four buildings ranging from eight to 15 stories surrounding a large landscaped courtyard. The addition to Georgia State is the largest, privately-funded student housing complex in the country. Describe the impact living in the Commons has made on your college experience.

Dia: It was a hard choice to move to the Commons because my family offered to let me live with them in Atlanta for free. Dorm life exceeded my expectations and is a decision I’m glad I made. Kelly: It is a great way to meet people and very convenient being close to classes. I also love the food that is close by.

What is the most popular hang out spot in the University Commons?

Dia: The community rooms. Kelly: The lobby or the courtyard on a sunny day.

How has living in the Commons been beneficial to you academically this semester?

Dia: The community rooms in the Commons are a great place to study. When we have group projects, these rooms are great to meet in as well. Kelly: When I had a question about an assignment, I could easily find one of my classmates to help. I like being able to get to the library and professors’ offices easily.

What type of friends have you made in the Commons that you may not have met otherwise?

Kelly: My roommates, neighbors and friends of friends were all people I would not have come in contact with unless I lived on campus. Dia: Not being very social, I was surprised to meet so many people in the Commons. The girls I room with are like my best friends, sisters even.

a year of transformation | 13 14 | a year of transformation Ways to give Outright Gifts and Pledges All gifts to the Georgia State University Foundation are meaningful investments that make a difference in the lives of students, faculty, staff, and the Atlanta community as well as individuals around the globe. Please call Nancy Peterman, vice president for development, at 404.413.3401 for more information about ways to give.

Outright gifts to the foundation may be made as single contributions or as pledges payable over a period of up to five years. Several forms of property may be accepted as gifts. This information is shared for educational purposes. Foundation and university staff do not give tax advice. Donors should consult professional advisers for legal, tax and financial advice.

Cash is the simplest way to make a gift. Checks should be made payable to the “GSU Foundation”. Money orders, wire transfers and bank drafts are also acceptable. Credit card gifts, including Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express, may be made online at www.gsufoundation.org.

Marketable securities may offer double tax savings. For securities that have gained value and have been owned at least a year and a day, the gift is tax deduct- ible at the market value of the securities and also avoids capital gains taxes. For stock transfer instructions, please call Marion Campbell at 404.413.3446.

Mutual fund shares, if long term appreciated, can enjoy the double advantage of a charitable deduction and capital gains tax avoidance. Transfer procedures vary depending on whether the shares are held in “street name” at a brokerage house or in the books of the mutual fund company. Please call David Brown at 404.413.3413 for assistance with gifts of mutual fund shares.

Closely held business interest gifts include corporations, l l c ’s, partnerships and other forms of business organization, each of which has unique tax considerations. Tax deductions are based on appraised market values.

Real estate, including residential, business or agricultural property, may be accepted as a gift. Both fractional and total ownership may be considered. The tax deduction is based on the appraised value.

Personal property gifts may be accepted. Deductions are determined, in part, by the relationship of the property to the mission of the university.

Life Insurance may be accepted as a cash value gift. A popular gift is an in-force, paid-up policy that a donor no longer needs and names the foundation as owner and beneficiary. For a gift of a policy that is not fully paid, later premium payments may also be deductible for tax purposes. The tax deduction is based on the replacement value, which varies according to policy details.

a year of transformation | 15 Ways to give Planned Gifts The Georgia State University Foundation encourages planned gifts, which create legacies for donors. Bequests and similar gifts usually take effect at the donor’s death. Gifts that pay income for life generate immediate tax deductions as well as lifetime income. For more information about gift planning, please contact Christine Butler Eckoff at 404.413.3425 or [email protected], or visit www.gsu.edu/giving/plannedgiving.

Bequests

The most common form of deferred gift to Georgia State University is a bequest contained in a person’s will or revocable (living) trust. Bequests can be written for a specific amount, a percentage of the estate or the remainder of the estate. Cash, securities or property may be willed to the Foundation. Please contact the Office of Gift Planning for sample bequest language.

Gift of Retirement Plans

Naming Georgia State University as a primary or contingent beneficiary of a private pension fund (e.g. IRA, SEP, 401(k)) can result in a “tax-wise” testamentary gift because these assets do not receive favorable tax treatment at their owner’s death. The gift of IRAs or other retirement accounts can generate double tax savings when the Foundation is made the beneficiary. In addition to avoiding any estate taxation, Georgia State University will not be subject to income tax on with- drawals as would be the case with other non-charitable beneficiaries.

Life Income Gifts

A life income gift, such as a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust, can provide you and/or your loved ones with an income for the duration of your lives or for a specific number of years. You receive a current income tax dedication as well. Charitable Gift Annuities are agreements between donors and the Georgia State University Foundation to exchange gifts for a fixed income for life. Payout rates are determined by the ages of the individuals receiving the income. Donors receive an immediate income tax deduction, and a portion of the annuity income is tax-free. Payments can begin immediately or be deferred to a future year. Charitable Remainder Trusts transfer property to a trustee in exchange for the trustee’s agreement to pay the donor an income. Payouts can be fixed or variable. The trust ends at the death of the last of the beneficiaries or at the expiration of a term of years, and the remainder is distributed to the Georgia State University Foundation. An immediate income tax charitable deduction is allowed for the remainder value.

Charitable Lead Trusts

Charitable Lead Trusts enable donors to transfer money or property to a trustee who makes payments to the Georgia State University Foundation for a specified number of years, after which the principal is returned to the donors or other individuals designated by the donors. The income to the charitable beneficiary can be varied or fixed. The lead trust can provide income, gift, estate and generation- skipping tax avoidance.

Gifts of a Retained Life Estate

You can generate a current income tax deduction by giving a home or farm to Georgia State University, while retaining the right to use the property during your lifetime. The property will also be removed from your taxable estate.
