Make it personal

Among the attendees of the Donor-Scholar Luncheon were Nellie West, mother of scholarship recipient Ilene Morris (far right); Portfolio Dr. Mildred M. Reynolds ’52, endowed scholarship donor; and President Beverley Pitts.

Last November more than 300 donors, students, parents, and faculty experienced how philanthropy is changing the lives of UIndy students. During the third annual Donor-Scholar Luncheon, donors of Endowed and Named Annual Scholarships were invited to sit across from their scholarship recipients and their families to hear firsthand how their gifts are helping current UIndy students. In return, students were able to show their appreciation personally to those who are supporting their education. The featured speaker, Named Annual Scholarship donor Lorene Burkhart, spoke highly of ambitious scholarship recipient John Benson, a freshman from Saint John, Indiana. John is majoring in accounting and would like to work for the FBI or a government agency as an accountant after he graduates. Naming an Annual Scholarship is possible through a contribution of $2,500 or more per year to the Named Annual Scholarship program. The scholarship then will be matched to a specific student whose need approximates the size of your gift. Donors who wish to leave a perpetual legacy at UIndy can create an Endowed Scholarship with a gift of $25,000 or more. Endowed Scholarship donors may customize their scholarship’s selection criteria. This allows their scholarship to benefit future generations of UIndy students pursuing a career in the donor’s field of interest. If you are interested in connecting with a current student through an Endowed or Named Annual Scholarship, please contact Andy Kocher, Director of Major and Planned Gifts, at (317) 788-3493 or [email protected].

One student, one faculty member to study in England The University of Indianapolis has obtained funding to underwrite the tuition, room, board, and travel for a UIndy Honors College student to study for a term at Harris Manchester College at the University of Oxford, England. Dr. Ralph Waller, principal of Manchester College, visited campus as Commencement speaker in 2006. At that time, a partnership was established that would provide an opportunity for one UIndy student to study for a term at Harris Manchester. It also provides for a University of Indianapolis faculty member to attend a Summer Research Institute, offering the opportunity to study and live at Harris Manchester as a Visiting Research Scholar for a week of intellectual exchange and inquiry at the heart of Oxford University. The Harris Manchester Scholarship has been underwritten by Jerry ’54 ’98 HD and Elsie Martin for 2007–08. The Martins are long-term benefactors of UIndy.

26 PORTICO spring 2007 Having trouble receiving your UIndy Alumni E-News?

If the Alumni Association’s monthly E-News isn’t reaching your inbox, it may be because your e-mail provider has spam filters you never knew existed. (Not signed up for the E-News? Visit alumni.uindy.edu.)

Many of the leading e-mail services, including AOL, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, and Microsoft Outlook 2003, offer built-in anti-spam tools. Spam is formally defined as unsolicited, unwanted, irrelevant, or inappropriate messages, especially commercial advertising in mass quantities. Informally, spam is known as electronic “junk mail.”

With spam likely to make up more than 70 percent of e-mail traffic in the next year, you definitely need a tool dedicated to solving this problem. Unfortunately, these tools or applications are not without flaws, and, because of the way they filter good e-mail from junk mail, they sometimes block e-mail that you may want to receive.

There are hundreds of applications on the market used to block spam. Your technology needs depend on your e-mail provider and the setup of its spam-blocking application. Consider one or all of these steps in helping you to receive e-mail you wish to read—such as the UIndy E-News.

1. Add the e-mail address of the sender you are expecting e-mail from to your electronic address book/contacts. 2. Next, check to see if your spam-blocking application has a place to input “safe senders.” Safe senders” and “white listing” are common terms describing how to isolate a specific e-mail address or domain that you are comfortable receiving e-mail from.

A domain is defined as everything that comes after the “@” symbol in an e-mail address; for example, [email protected]. The domain would be “companyabc.com” in this case. This is helpful if you want to receive e-mail from all senders of a particular company, but don’t want to input individual e-mail addresses. 3. If all else fails, talk to your e-mail administrator. Ask how to unblock specific senders that you would like to receive e-mail from.

How you contact your e-mail administrator will vary depending on who provides your e-mail. Generally, you should contact the support or help group associated with your e-mail company who will assist you or find the right person who can. — Todd A. Sturgeon ’94
