    VIEWPOINT TEXAS 2 FOCUS Highlights From Across the School 10 INSIGHT Faculty and Research Productivity 14 CLARITY Excellence in Teaching 18 PERSPECTIVE Student Successes 29 VISION Alumni, Donors, and Partners 38 CAPACITY Financial Strength 1 DEAN’S VIEW As we contemplate the future of the university and business education, as well as the creation of leadership and wealth, our vision must extend far beyond this decade or the next. We must stretch our imagination and our determination across decades and generations to foresee a destination that many of us will not experience, but for which all of us must take responsibility. Support in 2013 for this long-term perspective has been overwhelming, with significant gifts focused on future growth and innovation at the graduate and undergraduate levels. From that generosity now flows the imperative of surpassing the high expectations of our students, our alumni, and our faithful stakeholders. Accordingly, we are moving forward at a steady pace. Already, concept designs are being considered for Robert B. Rowling Hall, the new graduate education building launched with the $25 million pledge by Robert Rowling, BBA ’76, his wife Terry Hennersdorf Rowling, BBA ’76, and their family. The process of envisioning that facility has strengthened our graduate community, as students, faculty members, and deans have shared ideas on the future of graduate business education—the results are exciting and nuanced. Your support will help make this enlightened vision a reality, welcoming students in the summer of 2017. We are focusing our efforts and resources where they matter most, including faculty excellence and student outcomes.

  • View Annual Report
    Dear Fellow Shareholders: 2012 was a momentous year for your company in virtually every way. We reorganized our Board, hired a team of new executives to augment the already strong UPC Insurance management team, accelerated our strategic initiative of expanding our business model to new states, raised money in a public equity offering, and dealt with the impact of claims from four separate named storm events. That’s a busy year for any company! Yet, despite these major changes and challenges, UPC Insurance delivered outstanding financial results. Some highlights: Ⅲ Written premium grew 25%, to $255M. Gaining scale is an important goal for us, both in Florida and in the other states in which we operate, so generating high quality growth is important. We achieved that in 2012, with all of our growth coming from our network of independent agents that trust us with their customers’ business. In this regard, it is important to note that we are only one of 58 companies nationally to be a Trusted Choice® partner for the independent agent community. This designation, given by the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America, signifies that we have met stringent standards of quality, and signals to agents who may not know our company well that they can place business with UPC Insurance with confidence. As we grow in other states, our reputation for service and stability helps us sign up new agents and grow our business with existing relationships. Net income grew 20%, to $9.7M. The keys to profitable growth for us are managing our non-cat loss ratios, our reinsurance spend, and our administrative expenses.
