Goucher’s Time for Bold Action. 2017-18 YEAR IN REVIEW Goucher Society Honor Roll and Annual Report 3 Letter From the President 5 Goucher Society Honor Roll of Donors 15 Blue & Gold Golf Tournament Sponsors 16 2018 Goucher Awards Gala and Celebration 18 The 2018 Senior Class Campaign 19 Parents of Graduates 21 Volunteers 27 Annual Report 1 2 Dear Graduates and Friends, Thank you for your support—it is critical to our success. By participating in our [UNDAUNTED] campaign, the largest and most audacious in our history, you are courageously standing with Goucher, defending the liberal arts, and providing a transformative education for current and future students. With the full opening of the First-Year Village and renovation of Mary Fisher Hall, including centralized dining and student engagement services, we are creating a supportive, inclusive community in an environment scientifically designed for success. It’s a monumental step in our campaign, and we are excited about the future we are creating, which will also include the new Science Research Center, Maryland Equine Education Center, Evelyn Dyke Schroedl ’62 Tennis Center, Fitness and Pilates Center, and Goldsmith Interfaith Center, further serving the needs of our entire student body. But, as you know, the campaign is more than just the buildings. It is the stories we are creating inside of them. This campaign is about preserving and reimagining the liberal arts. Our curriculum has been overhauled to remain true to the liberal arts while preparing students for what employers need now—and for the jobs of the future. We’ve integrated career education into the student experience, and into the curriculum, starting day one. From mentoring to personal branding, students are being equipped to take their liberal arts education directly into the workforce and the world. We are creating a truly integrated campus. It’s bold, and it’s working. The first class to live in Pagliaro Selz Hall had a higher G.P.A. and retention rate compared to their counterparts in other residences on campus. We’ve recruited record- breaking classes in the last few years from a declining pool of applicants—all while enrollment shrinks elsewhere. Our graduates are expanding across the nation, pursuing fields from law to finance for a diverse set of employers, from Booz Allen Hamilton to Johns Hopkins to Teach for America. Your leadership is what allows us to continue the traditions of Goucher. The work we are doing to inspire and educate the leaders of tomorrow is important, and we could not do it without you. What makes us believe we can do the impossible? Because we’re [UNDAUNTED]. Because we’re Goucher. And because of you. Thank you. Sincerely, José Antonio Bowen, President 3 Dear Fellow Graduates and Friends, In appreciation of your generous support of Goucher College, we are pleased to present the 2017-18 Goucher Society Honor Roll and Annual Report. Thanks to the generosity of the Goucher community, the college raised more than $15 million in fiscal year 2018. Your support enabled the college to reward academic achievement and encourage our students to reach their highest potential; provide our faculty and students with the equipment and resources they need to succeed; and create the environment to attract the best and brightest minds to Goucher. We also celebrate our many volunteers who have shared their expertise with our students and Goucher community. Our volunteers support the college in a variety of ways, including serving on various boards, panels, and reunion committees, or as class notes representatives, class fund managers and agents, and Career Education Office participants. Thank you for helping make Goucher an even more vibrant learning community. It is an honor to count you among our most loyal and supportive friends. Thank you for your strong belief in a liberal arts education. We are so grateful that you are a part of our community.
