Advances
As the UAFS Foundation’s endowment has grown, so has its ability to help more students and to do more for the university. Gifts help the university to provide scholarships, purchase equipment, provide enrichment opportunities for students and in so many other ways.

Challenge Accepted to Raise $2.5 Million
For the love of education and art, the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith Foundation has accepted a challenge to raise $2.5 million for the new visual arts building being constructed at the corner of Waldron Road and Kinkead Avenue. The challenge came from the Windgate Charitable Foundation of Siloam Springs, Arkansas, which donated $13 million to fund the building’s construction and equipment, and with an additional $2.5 million offered as a matching challenge grant to establish an endowment for the building.
“We know of the love that our supporters have for this university and the arts. We are confident that we can rise to meet this challenge,” said Mary Lackie, vice chancellor for university advancement and executive director of the UAFS foundation.
When it opens in 2015, the new 58,000-square-foot building will do more than change the university’s footprint with its gallery spaces, 150-seat film theater, letterpress
and printmaking operations, graphic design labs and classroom space. It also will create one home for the visual arts, which are now scattered in five buildings across campus, and promote a synergy of artists working and creating in one space. And it will create an environment imbued with artistry for the hundreds of students entering the doors for their general education courses in the arts.
“In the end, it’s about the students,” said Henry Rinne, dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
But university officials know that the visual arts building will have an impact well beyond campus, with its galleries, art lectures and possible film festivals, as well as art shows of regional and national interest.
“We see this facility as one that will further enhance the university’s role in the arts in this region,” said Chancellor Paul Beran.
The UAFS foundation is looking for partners to help it meet its goal, which will create an endowment for the building. Donations in any amount are helpful and greatly appreciated. Naming opportunities are available at levels ranging from $5,000 to $500,000.
For more information, contact Mary Lackie at 479-788-7021, or find naming opportunities online at uafs.edu/foundation/visual-arts-building.

OFFICER REMEMBERED THROUGH SCHOLARSHIP
WHEN GIVING MEANS GIVING BACK
It is an honor to serve as the
new vice chancellor for university
advancement and executive director
of the University of Arkansas – Fort
Smith Foundation. I am privileged
to follow in the footsteps of Carolyn
McKelvey Moore and Marta Loyd, who
built the foundation and brought us to
the level of success we have experienced to date. I look forward
to building on this legacy in the coming years.
With a background in higher education and student personnel
services, I have worked in higher education for close to 30 years in
Arkansas, Louisiana and internationally. I have especially enjoyed
working at institutions that serve first-generation college students;
I love seeing them walk across the stage at graduation knowing that
they and their families are changed in a positive way for generations
to come.
After working in developing countries for eight and half years, I have
seen firsthand what happens when access to education is not widely
available. As a native Arkansan, I wanted to return home to help
provide opportunities for students to go to college and to improve
their prospects for a better life. The UAFS foundation does that with
the help of generous donors. I believe that education is the key
to the success of our students in their personal and professional
pursuits, but it is critical to the economic development of our
state and region.
UAFS is a leader in providing opportunities for students as they
prepare for their careers. I look forward to partnering with the
foundation and those who share the vision of improving our
communities through helping individuals fulfill their dreams
and aspirations.
While I have been fortunate to meet so many of you
already, I know there are others whom I have yet to meet,
and I would very much enjoy the opportunity to get to
know you better. If you would be interested in getting
together, please don’t hesitate to contact me on my
direct line at 479-788-7021 or by email at

Tragedy, persistence and hope intertwine in a scholarship endowment that honors a Fort Smith police officer killed in the line of duty.
On March 23, 2007, police officer Danny Martinez escorted a mother to pick up her child from the family of an ex-boyfriend. At the house, the child’s uncle asked the officer and mother to wait,
closed the door, then returned with a handgun. He shot Martinez in the head and shot the mother in her back, shoulder and elbow
as she tried to run away. Ultimately, the uncle committed suicide. The mother survived the shooting; Martinez did not.
“It’s one of the nights you never forget but you never want to remember,” said Randy Swaim, ’96, who worked as a reserve officer
with the Fort Smith Police Department and responded to the scene.
In the wake of the tragedy, Swaim wanted to do something lasting to honor Martinez.
“Danny was a man of integrity. He was a family man. He was laid back, but he made sure everyone was taken care of,” Swaim said.
Doing something to help others seemed a fitting remembrance of the man, so Swaim turned to his alma mater to set up an endowed scholarship in Martinez’s name.
“Danny would want to help someone go to school,” he said.
For the past seven years, Swaim has worked with the Martinez family, the River Valley Marine Corps League, state Rep. Stephanie Malone of Fort Smith, state Sen. Jake Files of Fort Smith, state Rep. Gary Stubblefield of Branch and many others to raise money
to fund the Officer Daniel C. Martinez Memorial Scholarship Endowment Fund.
From the first poker run in August 2007 to a concert by Chris Cameron in 2012 to many events in between and after, people in the region gave to remember Martinez and to give hope to a UAFS student.
“It shows the compassion and the caring attitude of the River Valley,” Swaim said. “You know it’s coming from their hearts and they gave what they had.”
This fall, the first memorial scholarship will go to a full-time student who has a 3.00 GPA and financial need.
While more than $59,000 has been raised, Swaim said he plans to continue to raise money so that eventually the scholarship money generated from the endowment can cover a student’s needs for a year.
“People can still contribute,” he said.
Chester Koprovic believes in the value of giving back and investing in the community – especially when the community has provided opportunities for him and his family.
“If we’ve been successful, we owe something back to the community,” he said. “Not just business success, but schools, churches, everything that has been a part of my family’s life.”
Koprovic was in the first generation of his family to be born in the United States; his father emigrated from Czechoslovakia at 3 years old. The only child of six to survive, Koprovic grew up during the heyday of coal mining in Paris, Arkansas.
After graduating from high school, Koprovic served in the Army for three years. He returned to Fort Smith and went to work for Norge, a refrigerator factory that would later be purchased by Whirlpool, where he worked for 15 years. He worked nights so he could attend classes at Westark Community College during the day while pursuing an associate degree in business.
“Two years of college took me eight years,” he said.
Those years of study paid off. Koprovic bought Norman Welding in 1975. He then purchased Butler and Cook in 1985 and started Kopco Steel Fabrication in 1986. A few years later, in 1991, he purchased Great Western Machine Shop and merged it with Butler and Cook.
Also in 1991, Koprovic co-founded Boyd Metals in Fort Smith. In the late 1990s, the company built a second location in Joplin, Mo. Boyd Metals would later branch out to Oklahoma City, and finally Little Rock, Ark.
“Now, I’m just trying to retire,” Koprovic said.
His version of retiring involves renovating a historic home, serving on the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, as well as traveling and spending time at his cabin in Colorado.
Koprovic acknowledges he didn’t achieve success alone. He and his wife, Beth, worked as a team, not only as parents to their four children — Toby, David, Jennifer and Mary Beth — but also in business. When Beth died in 2007, Koprovic established the Beth Koprovic Professorship in Nursing. He also created the Chester Koprovic Professorship Endowment in Engineering with the goal of attracting more qualified people to the field.
“UAFS was part of my life. I’m proud to be a graduate,” Koprovic said.

As Tasha Heard faced her first 20-page research paper at UAFS, she had doubts about her ability to do it.
“I thought it was going to be terrible,” said the sophomore from Harrison, Arkansas. “I hadn’t written over eight or 10 pages. I didn’t have the confidence that I could do it.”
She does now.
For that paper in her speech communication class, she turned to a topic that had interested her since the fifth grade and had become her major: dental hygiene. She researched the subject, interviewed students and wrote a paper titled “Fear of Going to the Dentist and the Effect of Music on Those Fears,” which considers how concentrating on sounds other than dental equipment would decrease a patient’s anxiety.
“It is scary,” Heard said about how some people fear going to the dentist. “You’re giving up control. You have to trust who’s working on you.”
After she turned in the paper, Susan Simkowski, assistant professor of media communication, encouraged Heard to submit it to the Southern States Communication Association’s 24th annual Theodore Clevenger Jr. Undergraduate Honors Conference, where it was accepted. Heard presented her paper in New Orleans in early April thanks to help from the UAFS foundation’s Gordon Kelley Language Study Endowment, which paid for the trip.
Simkowski described Heard as an ideal student who strives for perfection in all of her work.
“She takes my instruction and builds on it. … Tasha is a dream student,” Simkowski said.
The experience of presenting her paper at a national conference bolstered Heard’s self-assurance.
“I had confidence in myself in science and math classes, but I didn’t in English and writing,” Heard said.
“Knowing I can do this, actually write something that people like and respect, is really just honoring. I see myself in a new light; I know I can write.”
That’s just one door that Heard has had open for her since enrolling at UAFS. This fall she’ll step through another as part of the first dental hygiene class working toward a bachelor’s degree at the university. That would be the final step of a journey that began when she was an elementary student going to the dentist for teeth cleanings and checkups. Heard found her passion as she watched her dental hygienist work.
“She got to talk to people all day and it involved science,” Heard said. “All of the equipment she
used was pretty cool.”
Her search for a dental hygiene program led her to UAFS, which she visited four times to be sure of her choice before enrolling.
“What sold me on the school were the grounds; it’s so pretty,” she said. “I liked the atmosphere. It was refreshing from other colleges. People were really friendly.”
The Honors International Studies Program Scholarship, which pays about $33,000 during a four-year span, sealed her decision to enroll at UAFS. That scholarship, along with other, smaller scholarships, has covered tuition, fees and housing.
“I wouldn’t be able to go to UAFS without the scholarships,” she said. “I’d be in Harrison going to a community college.”
Heard doesn’t think she would be working toward becoming a dental hygienist without that extra help from UAFS. She is thankful to the university and scholarship donors for enabling her to take her chosen path.
“Without them, I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t have the confidence in myself. I wouldn’t have the future.”
“I wouldn’t be able to go to UAFS without the scholarships…”
