Hunter Dear Friends, Private support has never been more important to the University of Maine. Your gifts make the UMaine experience possible for thousands of students every year. Thanks to you, we are able to attract and retain outstanding faculty and staff, and engage with communities throughout and well beyond our state. Without generous alumni and friends, our campus would look very different. Our grounds, research and teaching laboratories, concert and lecture halls, museums, sports facilities, and student living and learning spaces have been transformed as a result of personal generosity and thoughtfulness. As President, my hours on campus range “Whether you have been widely, including very early in the morning on my way to our New Balance Student inspired by your own student Recreation Center. At that time of day, the experience, a passion for a campus is almost perfectly still. I always welcome the chance to reflect upon not only particular program, the the busy day ahead, but also upon those of you, memory of a loved one or individually and collectively, who make such a something altogether different difference for UMaine. The company we keep, indeed, could not be better. — we are thankful for your commitment to us.” Warm regards, President Susan J. Hunter ’50H, Ph.D. Susan J.

Mills and Robert Q. Dana Greetings from Orono. It is our pleasure to provide you with our 2014–15 Annual Report of Private Giving. The support of alumni and friends has averaged $20 million per year over the past seven years. We are humbled by such generosity and often find ourselves asking the same question — what inspired these gifts? Some donors wish to honor mentors or loved ones — husbands, Jeffery N. Mills ’82 wives, parents, children, classmates, teammates, friends and neighbors. Their gifts help to keep memories and feelings alive. Other donors describe personal passions that fuel their giving — Black Bear athletics, our museums, and diverse student activities and academic programs. Philanthropy also serves as a means of making the world a better place, helping to reduce hunger, environmental degradation, poverty, illiteracy, disease, and other problems that concern many of our faculty, students and staff. For some donors, including our corporate partners, private support is a vehicle for economic development, strengthening UMaine resources that are essential to the growth of individual companies and entire industries. Robert Q. Dana ’80 It is exceptionally rewarding when we can forge a match between our donors’ passions and values and UMaine’s needs and opportunities. The match is rarely static; donors’ interests grow just as our university grows. We look forward to growing together with you, our donors, bettering our university, our state, our nation, and the world we live in. Thank you for inspiring us. Yours for the University of Maine, Jeffery N. Mills ’82, Ph.D. Robert Q. Dana ’80, Ed.D. President and CEO Vice President for Student Life University of Maine and Dean of Students Foundation Interim Vice President for University Development Inspired to Give 5 2015 Stillwater Presidential Awardees The Stillwater Society recognizes the University of Maine’s most generous donors and loyal advocates whose philanthropy reflects deep and diverse passions. Since 2001, UMaine has presented a number of alumni and friends with a prestigious Stillwater Presidential Award. The university’s 2015 honorees included Sandra Blake Leonard ’65, Norman Minsky ’52H, and Alan ’58 and Sheila Menchen Merritt ’66G. 6 University of Maine Inspired by passion “Our university is a powerful Sandra “Sandy” Blake Leonard ’65 has supported force, reaching into every part a number of campus needs over the years, but her of our state.

LHD arts scene in our region.” Like Sandy, Alan ’58 and Sheila Menchen Merritt ’66G hold degrees from the University of Maine. Athletes, coaches and fellow fans recognize the Merritts as loyal fans and supporters of UMaine Athletics. In addition to their passion for the Black Bears and UMaine’s Hudson Museum, the Merritts note that their philanthropy has been inspired in part by Alan’s parents and by the conviction that giving is “the right thing to do.” Norman Minsky ’52H also received a Stillwater Presidential Award in 2015. An alumnus of Boston University, Norman appreciates all that a land grant university brings to the community, including many opportunities for cultural and intellectual enrichment. Highly regarded for his record of public service in and well beyond Bangor, Norman is an enthusiastic donor to Judaic Studies and other programs at UMaine. More broadly, he is a vocal proponent for studying the world’s religions as a means of understanding complex global issues. Sen. Susan M. Collins ’11 Hon. LHD joined UMaine President Susan J. Hunter ’50H, Ph.D. in presenting Norman Minsky ’52H with his Stillwater Presidential Award.

Thanks to a recent gift, for example, UMaine was able to renovate a large conference room in Nutting Hall, home to UMaine’s School of Forest Resources. The new Plum Creek Conference Room is a hub for student presentations, seminars, classes and visiting scholars. Plum Creek Timber Company is an active member in the Cooperative Forestry Research Unit. This group of forestland owners and managers funds scientific research at UMaine, developing new information to improve sustainable forest management practices throughout and beyond Maine. The relationship between Plum Creek and UMaine goes both ways. Plum Creek has found some of its best and brightest summer interns and employees through UMaine’s forestry programs. Mark Doty ’86 is the community affairs manager for Plum Creek’s Northeast headquarters in Fairfield. Noting that Plum Creek’s priorities include a strong commitment to the environment, conservation and community, Doty shared that at least 18 UMaine graduates are employed The Plum Creek Forestry Summer Camp Safety Fund provides safety equipment for the five with Plum Creek in Maine.

    HONORING OUR PAST, SHAPING OUR FUTURE 2013– 14 ANNUAL REPORT OF PRIVATE GIVING ALVIN “AL” MCNEILLY ’44 made gifts to the University of Maine over more than 39 consecutive years prior to his death on June 19, 2014. His lifetime giving totaled more than $800,000, including generous matches from his longtime employer, ExxonMobil. UMaine established the Loyal M Society in 2013 to recognize donors like McNeilly, whose faithful giving has made a tremendous difference to the state’s land grant university. A committed volunteer, McNeilly served as president of both the University of Maine Alumni Association and the President’s Development Council. More recently, he initiated a “class adoption program,” in which the Class of 1944 mentored the Class of 2010, sharing UMaine traditions that cross generations. “It’s hard to imagine a more loyal alumnus than Al,” says Todd Saucier, president of the University of Maine Alumni Association. “Al was very involved at UMaine as a student through his membership in Kappa Sigma, Sophomore Owls and Senior Skulls, and as treasurer and vice president of his class. His leadership was also evident in his service as captain of the baseball team. Al credited UMaine for much of his professional and personal success, and was truly one of a kind in his enthusiasm for our university.” “From our first moments on campus, Al charged us to make the most of our time at UMaine and to leave an impact on the school well after we graduated. His commitment to the university for a full 70 years as an alumnus inspires all who knew Al or were touched by his efforts.” Matt Ciampa ’10 2 0 1 3 – 1 4 ANNUAL REPORT OF PRIVATE GIVING CONTENTS Letter from President Susan J.

The scholarship that enables the fi nancially burdened student to remain in school; the money necessary to send the band to a tournament game; the laboratory which sparks new ideas and collaborations; the simple $100 needed by a student to cover an unexpected emergency; the fellowship which allows a student to study in another country; the professorship which allows UMaine to reward a world-class faculty member are all the bridges that lead to the world of possibilities for students, faculty and staff at the University of Maine.

Board ChairF roandm t hPresident/CEOe The date was June 9, 1934—the height of the great depression. University President Harold Boardman called a meeting of charter members of the University of Maine Foundation where they adopted a statement of purpose and a set of bylaws. That evening, with a gift from the class of 1909, the Foundation was established. Seventy-five years later, the University of Maine Foundation manages an endowment of approximately $110 million and has assets of $149 million. Since 1975, it has paid over $75 million to support University of Maine programs, students and faculty—nearly two-thirds of that amount supporting student scholarships. The Foundation was created in 1934 during a period of financial uncertainty. Ironically, in our 75th year since incorporation, the challenges are not dissimilar. But, we are now living in a global economy.
