PRESIDENT’S DONOR REPORT

2013-2014

It is my privilege to provide you with the 2013-2014 President’s Donor Report. This was certainly an extraordinary year of support from our alumni, friends, businesses and founda-tions raising more than $12.7 million to help CSU be a First Choice university. These gifts provided student scholarships, faculty research funding, endowed professorships, increased

funds for academic programs and new and enhanced campus facilities. What is most impressive about the support for this year is that giving increased more than $4 million from overall giving for 2012-2013 of $8.6 million. Of the $12.7 million raised this year, the CSU Fund reached another all-time giving record of $4.9 million, up from $3.3 million last year. The CSU Fund is an important part of your support because it has an immediate impact on students and faculty that is above and beyond the university budget. During the 2013-2014 fiscal year, Lynne Phillips provided outstanding leadership as Chair of the CSU Foundation Board and I would like to personally thank her for helping make this such a successful year. In addition, on behalf of our students, faculty and staff, I want to say “thank you” to all our CSU Foundation Board of Trustees, Advisory Boards, Friend groups and donors for the contributions you made to our university this year. It is this wonderful support that allows us the opportunity to continue being recognized as one of the top regional universities in the South and aspire to even greater goals in the future. As I conclude my tenure of president in December, please know of my deep appreciation for CSU and those who have provided so many wonderful accomplishments during my six years. Without your support, the growth we have achieved together in so many areas of the university would not have been possible. I look forward to hearing about and seeing the exciting things in store for CSU over these next few years.

Wishing you all the best,Tim MesconPresident

Over the past two years, we have experienced significant growth in the level of pri-vate financial support for CSU. We have moved quickly from $5.4 in 2011-2012, to $8.6 million last year, and now to $12.7 million for 2013-2014. I am aston-ished at how our alumni and friends treat this university with such deep apprecia-

tion and support, which translates to student and faculty success. It is this faithful, unwavering and increasing support that now positions CSU to be a First Choice university. As the president indicated, the 2013-2014 CSU Fund had a substantial increase. This is due to our increased communication with our alumni, making them aware of the wonderful successes their alma mater is having, and their positive response to this appeal for support. The success of CSU only increases the value of a diploma for our alumni. I, too, would like to thank our outgoing CSU Foundation Board Chair, Lynne Phillips, for her hard work throughout the year to bring about new initiatives to the work of our trustees and for the continued fundraising success we have enjoyed. And finally, I want to thank each of our donors for their support and desire to see CSU be a First Choice university. For those of us who work on the campus, we are fortunate that we see the daily impact of your philanthropy on our students and faculty. Please know that your support is truly making a difference each and every day at Columbus State University.

Iam very privileged to have four very unique perspectives of CSU. First, as an alumna, I am extremely proud of the direction and progress my alma mater has made since I graduated in 1983 with my undergraduate degree in English. In fact, the campus and academic programs today

are hardly recognizable and are greatly improved, not to mention UpTown Columbus with the addition of the RiverPark campus. Second, as a local business person in Columbus, I see the increasing quality of graduates that CSU is producing and coming into the workforce. I know firsthand that they are academically prepared for their careers. Third, as a parent of a current CSU student, I know the excellent educa-tion and preparation my child is receiving at CSU and the positive impact it will have on her future academic endeavors and career path. And finally, as a CSU Trustee, serving this past year as chair of the Board, I experienced the commitment of our entire Board, our alumni and this com-munity. Each responded with a greater level of financial support because of the aspiration for CSU to be that First Choice university. From each of these perspectives I am grateful for the impact CSU has had, and continues to have, on my life, family and community. That is why sharing this report is so important for me. It affirms my percep-tion of Columbus State University when so many of our alumni and friends recognize the quality and growth of the University and want to see that continue well into the future. Thank you as loyal donors for your support of the CSU Fund, which provides that critical annual support and the overall giving for scholarships, professorships, programs and facilities. It was an honor to serve as chair of the Foundation and I look forward to my continued service knowing of the bright future ahead for our university.

Sincerely,

Lynne Phillips, BA 1983, MPA 19882013-2014 Chair, Columbus State UniversityBoard of Trustees

PRIVATE GIVING TO CSU SETS ANOTHER RECORD, REACHING $12.7 MILLION

Alumni and friends again demonstrated their support in record numbers for Columbus State University, giving more than $12.7 million in 2013-14 to fund projects, programs and people throughout CSU.


T he Columbus State University Foundation ended its fiscal year on July 31 with an increase of $4.1 million from the $8.6 million total collected during the 2013 fiscal year.

“Simply put, private giving is behind many of the major strides we are making at Columbus State University,” said President Tim Mescon. “This level of support is phenomenal, and is supporting key initiatives that are designed to continue our emergence as a university of regional and national distinction.”Giving to the Columbus State University (CSU) Fund also set a new record last year, bringing in $4.9 million of the total $12.7 million raised. The annual support raised via the CSU Fund (formally the university’s annual fund) soared well above the goal of $3.5 million. “I continue to be impressed by the depth of support that we have for Columbus State University,” said Lynne Philips, a Synovus executive who chairs the CSU Foundation Board of Trustees. “Obviously the Foundation Trustees and all our other supporters are energized by the strides that have been made here, and are excited about the future of Columbus State University. We realize that private support is no longer a luxury; it’s vital to our ongoing operations and absolutely necessary if we want CSU to truly become the kind of university we all think it can be.” Annual giving to the CSU Fund supports many needs across campus, including:

n Student scholarshipsn Academic programsn Community outreach (including Columbus Regional Math Collaborative, Oxbow Meadows Environmental Learning Center and CSU’s Coca-Cola Space Science Center)n Student and faculty development (including athletics, research, servant leadership and study abroad)n Opportunities for distinction (including music and theatre performances and athletic events)

Alan Medders, CSU’s vice president for University Ad-vancement and Executive Director of the CSU Foundation, said all the money collected last year will count toward the university’s ongoing comprehensive campaign, which is now in a quiet phase as priorities are developed and goals are established. He credited the foundation’s trustees for creating mo-mentum for the current private fundraising priorities. He said logging almost $13 million in one year is a great testament to what’s planned. “I think the message in these numbers is that the foun-dation trustees, the faculty and administration, the alumni, and friends see the difference our university is making in the lives of our students and in the community,” said Jack Key, a retired real estate executive who now chairs the foundation’s development committee. “It’s clear evidence that people rec-ognize the substantial and vital contribution that CSU makes to the quality of life in Columbus and the region. We’re providing first-rate education and enjoying the benefits of seeing this new generation of talent and leadership emerge from our campus. These increases in giving indicate that our supporters believe that our best days are ahead.”

During the Columbus State University Foundation Board of Trustees Oc-tober meeting, it was announced that retired TSYS chief executive officer Phil Tomlinson will chair the university’s forthcoming comprehensive campaign. “We are ecstatic. Phil was an obvious choice from the beginning as we started developing the framework for this campaign,” said CSU President Tim Mescon. “Because of his character, reputation and business success, his name kept emerging as we were asking others for recommendations to lead this campaign.” Now that Tomlinson is on board, he will work to develop a campaign leadership team and coordinate with university officials to finalize the university’s First Choice Campaign plan. Each college at the university has identified several priorities to further enhance the reputation of CSU as a “first choice” institution for high-achieving students and nationally talented faculty. Among the early goals for the campaign are to fully fund CSU’s new Honors College, provide endowments for student scholarships and professorships in each college, continue the UTeach program that trains math and science teachers, and purchase and renovate the Ledger Enquirer building downtown for the College of Education and Health Professions. Final campaign priorities are still being developed as new donors are identified, more alumni input is gathered, and leadership changes, said Alan Medders, CSU’s vice president for university advancement and executive director of the CSU Foundation. He also said a goal for the campaign would not be announced until all priorities are completed for the campaign, which is anticipated to last about five years. “Having Phil officially on our team is a tremendous validation of the hard work and success we have already achieved, and of the plans for where we’re headed as an institution,” Medders said. “He will bring instant credibili-ty to our efforts as we reach out to friends and alumni around the country.” Tomlinson retired from TSYS on July 31, 2014. He will continue to serve as executive chairman of the board of TSYS until the 2015 annual shareholders’ meeting. His business career began when Tomlinson joined Columbus Bank and Trust Company in 1974. He was part of the early credit card team, became executive vice president of TSYS in 1983 when it was spun off as a public company, and then was elected its president in 1992. Over his tenure, TSYS won numerous awards for its ethical standards and service to the communities where it operates. Chief among the company’s attributes, which Tomlinson instilled in its culture, are integrity and treating people right.

Columbus state university retention efforts Help students make progressColumbus State University’s committed to Complete College Georgia, which aims to add 250,000 postsecondary graduates in the state by 2020. CSU has:

• Decreased the percentage of students on probation/exclusion from the Early College program, a partnership with the Muscogee County School District, from 77% to 11% over two years.

• Increased the conversion of dual-enrollment students admitted as college freshmen from 57% in 2011 to 67% in 2012.

• Created an Early Alert System to make it easier for faculty to tell CSU’s Academic Center for Excellence about students who need extra help to stay on track toward graduation.
