The Zaller memo is followed by the open-end master codes: a) direction of response b) emotional intensity and elaboration of thought c) Frame of reference and content code 3. Numerous variables refer to PF 10. PF 10 is a function key used by CATI interviewers in recording comments of respondents. These side comments have been coded for this study. 4. In Wave 2 variables, respondents who were interviewed in Wave 1 but not re-interviewed in Wave 2 have had data variables padded with O's. This is not explicitly stated in the variable documentation.

    CONTENTS In Acknowledgment.................... 1 Foundation Leadership .............. 2 Financial Highlights ..................... 4 Leaders in Philanthropy ............. 7 Ways of Giving .......................... 17 UW Development Officers .... 20 UW Board of Trustees ............ 22 — Philip Dubois, UW President The theme of this year’s Annual Report on Giving, Charting the Course, is a reflection of how University and donor partnerships are charting UW’s course to national distinction. We hope you will enjoy reading — Ben Blalock, Vice President for Institutional Advancement how this year’s gifts are & Executive Director, UW Foundation supporting new journeys and new thinking at the University of Wyoming. — Harry Sager, President, 2000-01, UW Foundation Board It has been two years since UW set its course with a five-year Academic Plan to build the University’s national reputation for academic excellence, stabilize its financial position, expand its contributions to state economic development, and reaffirm its central role in preserving Wyoming history and culture. Our friends and alumni have responded magnificently to this vision of what the University can become. Thanks to your generous gifts, we are building an even stronger University. In March, the Wyoming State Legislature approved a $30 million fund to match endowment gifts of more than $50,000, dollar for dollar. This is an exciting opportunity for donors to have the impact of their gifts doubled. I am grateful for the support of Governor Geringer, the bipartisan vote of confidence from legislators in both houses, and the many caring donors honored in these pages. Thank you for all that you make possible on the University of Wyoming’s road to ever-increasing distinction.

The exhibit will run through the end of December in the Art Association Gallery at the Art Center in Jackson.

Alpine First stop was Jenny Dowd’s Alpine studio, housing samples of the work that led to her 2011 visual arts fellowship. In the studio are the life-size sculptures of furniture complete with rows of ceramic teeth, and her “Tooth Fairy” ceramics that harken back to a childhood of wondering what the Tooth Fairy did with all of those teeth. Jenny also has an obsession with cicadas. Back in Jackson, Jenny, who is the painting and drawing studio manager and exhibition coordinator at the Art Association of Jackson Hole, showed us around the Arts Center Gallery where the biennial show will debut on Nov. 4.
