Dear Graduates and Friends,Thank you for your support—it is critical to our success.

By participating in our [UNDAUNTED] campaign, the largest and most audacious in our history, you are courageously standing with Goucher, defending the liberal arts, and providing a transformative education for current and future students.

With the full opening of the First-Year Village and renovation of Mary Fisher Hall, including centralized dining and student engagement services, we are creating a supportive, inclusive community in an environment scientifically designed for success. It’s a monumental step in our campaign, and we are excited about the future we are creating, which will also include the new Science Research Center, Maryland Equine Education Center, Evelyn Dyke Schroedl ’62 Tennis Center, Fitness and Pilates Center, and Goldsmith Interfaith Center, further serving the needs of our entire student body.

But, as you know, the campaign is more than just the buildings. It is the stories we are creating inside of them. This campaign is about preserving and reimagining the liberal arts.

Our curriculum has been overhauled to remain true to the liberal arts while preparing students for what employers need now—and for the jobs of the future. We’ve integrated career education into the student experience, and into the curriculum, starting day one. From mentoring to personal branding, students are being equipped to take their liberal arts education directly into the workforce and the world.

We are creating a truly integrated campus. It’s bold, and it’s working. The first class to live in Pagliaro Selz Hall had a higher G.P.A. and retention rate compared to their counterparts in other residences on campus. We’ve recruited record-breaking classes in the last few years from a declining pool of applicants—all while enrollment shrinks elsewhere. Our graduates are expanding across the nation, pursuing fields from law to finance for a diverse set of employers, from Booz Allen Hamilton to Johns Hopkins to Teach for America.

Your leadership is what allows us to continue the traditions of Goucher. The work we are doing to inspire and educate the leaders of tomorrow is important, and we could not do it without you.

What makes us believe we can do the impossible? Because we’re [UNDAUNTED]. Because we’re Goucher. And because of you. Thank you.

Sincerely,

José Antonio Bowen, President

In appreciation of your generous support of Goucher College, we are pleased to present the 2017-18 Goucher Society Honor Roll and Annual Report.

Thanks to the generosity of the Goucher community, the college raised more than $15 million in fiscal year 2018. Your support enabled the college to reward academic achievement and encourage our students to reach their highest potential; provide our faculty and students with the equipment and resources they need to succeed; and create the environment to attract the best and brightest minds to Goucher.

We also celebrate our many volunteers who have shared their expertise with our students and Goucher community. Our volunteers support the college in a variety of ways, including serving on various boards, panels, and reunion committees, or as class notes representatives, class fund managers and agents, and Career Education Office participants.

Thank you for helping make Goucher an even more vibrant learning community.

It is an honor to count you among our most loyal and supportive friends. Thank you for your strong belief in a liberal arts education. We are so grateful that you are a part of our community.

Sincerely,

Kimara Ahnert ’91 Goucher Society Co-chair

Margaret Warden ’66 started giving back to Goucher soon after graduating college. She always gave what she could, which wasn’t much in the beginning. For the next two decades, her gifts were the extent of her involvement with the school.

Then her 25th reunion brought Warden back to campus for the first time. “I really enjoyed myself,” she said. “It was good to see faces of people that I hadn’t seen and to meet people from my class that I didn’t know that well.”

While she was at the reunion, Warden was talked into taking over as her class notes representative, a job she still has and enjoys to this day. “I think that’s how my active involvement started,” she said.

Warden returned for every reunion, soon joining the reunion committee. She was an original member of the John Franklin and Mary Fisher Goucher Society. And she began to donate more. She knew her contributions mattered. “It’s probably because I was an economics major, but I believe the slow, steady accumulation of small donations does a lot of good,” she said. “It doesn’t matter how much people give, but the fact that they do give counts an awful lot.”

Warden always had a good mind for the technical—she had a long career in IT, where she worked as a systems analyst, software engineer, and IT project manager in several fields. Eventually, Karen Little Lyon ’77, P ’13, now an associate director of development at Goucher, asked Warden if she’d be interested in tailoring her gifts more to her interests.

“I never even considered that as a possibility,” she said. “It really caught my fancy.” She met with Bill Leimbach, the vice president for technology, in 2012, and they decided, for a first project, to focus on the Decker Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology to provide faculty

development workshops. (The Decker Center, which was part of the IT department, was the precursor to Goucher’s Center for the Advancement of Scholarship and Teaching.)

“One of the biggest issues that IT had at the time was that there were tools available to the faculty but the faculty weren’t necessarily using them due to lack of training,” Warden explained. She funded training for the faculty and helped start the program, even commuting from New Jersey to help in the classes.

The training went on for years, and every year, Leimbach and Warden would meet—and continue to meet—to discuss new projects to take on. The two have been quite productive: Warden funded technology innovations such as the 3D printer in the Julia Rogers Building, the Laptop Kiosk in the Athenaeum, and the implementation of the Goucher mobile app.

“To me,” she said, “the best projects are the ones that have life beyond them.” Like the 3D printer in the Makerspace, where science and art students work side by side to create. The point of many of the projects she takes on, she says, is that they lead to other things and possibilities.

There are so many more ideas brimming from Warden, who stays on top of trends in tech. One, off the top of her head, is to convert the old Stimson dorms into a co-living and co-working space for senior students. “My instinct is that many people graduating today are going to be living in urban areas with housing issues, and this is going to be the ultimate solution,” she said. “So students could, in their senior year, get used to that kind of an environment.”

Warden then pointed out that while giving to Goucher gives her great pleasure, her gifts shouldn’t be about what she wants for the college: “It should be about what Goucher will benefit from.”

Highlighting ScholarshipOur innovative new curriculum features an

interdisciplinary approach to learning. This unique exposure to a wide variety of topics and fields always

makes for an interesting Goucher Symposium (top right), which celebrates learning and scholarship on

campus every year. This year’s featured everything from poster sessions, where students explained their current research, to performances, to Capstone presentations.

PARENTS OF GRADUATES FROM THE CLASS OF 2018 WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO GOUCHER COLLEGE

The following families have supported Goucher in honor of their graduate. Gifts from families directly impact Goucher by enhancing programs and initiatives that affect students. We thank these individuals for their generosity in commemorating their students’ graduation day.

20

Damon Highsmith ’03 gives back to students in every way he knows how, but his most rewarding experience from the last year was moving new students into their rooms on campus.

Move-in day is a well-oiled machine, he said. “It was fun because a car would pull up, and it would get mobbed by volunteers,” Highsmith said. After they had unloaded the vehicle, the parents would find a place a park. When the parents returned, they were shocked to realize that their Gopher was all moved in.

“I had a blast doing it and was able to see my impact immediately,” Highsmith said. It was a wonderful experience to help these families who thought they would have to unpack the car after driving to campus, some having made multi-day trips to get to Goucher, he added.

Highsmith remembers his move-in day. His parents helped him carry his belongings to a room on the second floor of Connor House in Stimson Hall. It was a bit different then, he said. For his most recent move-in day, Highsmith played the part of an “angry, old alum” and joked with students that 20 years ago, there was no elevator, air conditioning, or volunteers to grease the move-in process.

Although much has changed regarding move-in day and new buildings on campus, what made Goucher what it was and what it is today is still the same, Highsmith said. “It has the same feel.”

The reason for the consistency comes back to the people on campus, especially the students.

“I think the uniqueness of the students makes them recognizable. It’s intangible, but you know it’s a Goucher student.” Highsmith said.

Highsmith is a budget analyst at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, DC, where he supports restoration efforts in the Gulf of Mexico following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

“It is really hard to put the characteristics of a Goucher student into words that don’t wind up sounding trite,” Highsmith said. “There’s a unique spirit among Goucher students that is warm, curious, engaged. I can’t boil it down to something I can say succinctly or pithily.”

The best way to ensure Goucher continues to provide for students in the best way possible is to contribute personally, he said.

Highsmith is on the Alumnae and Alumni of Goucher College (AAGC) Board of Directors and is a member of the AAGC Executive Committee, where he continues to link past, current, and future students to Goucher. Highsmith also acts as the AAGC liaison to the Athletic Hall of Fame.

“I love the college. That’s the most obvious answer,” Highsmith said to the question of why he devotes so much of his time to Goucher. “I love the college because it is undoubtedly what led me into the line of work that I’m in. It’s where I’ve met some of the most important people of my life,” including his wife, Diana Munoz ’01. “It’s always exciting to come back on campus, come back to the bubble as they say. That’s why I do it.”

Record Crowds at Alumnae/i Weekend

From favorites like the beer garden and the parade of

classes to new events like the Alumnae/i of Color Luncheon

or Goucher Hillel’s 20th anniversary celebration,

Goucher spirit was in full force for Alumnae/i Weekend 2018! Make sure to save the date for

next year: May 3-5, 2019.

2017-18 ANNUAL REPORT

The audited financial results for June 30, 2018, reflect the national trend of growth in student aid; the long-awaited completion of the residential halls and dining facility; and the substantial growth in donor support underpinning these major investments at Goucher.

Investments in plant grew $41 million this year as construction of the First-Year Village, Mary Fisher Dining, and the relocated Tuttle Hall were in the final stages of completion in preparation for students to return to campus in August 2018. This growth was funded in part by the contributions received from alumnae/i and friends of Goucher College in association with the [UNDAUNTED] campaign. Contribution revenue increased 40 percent to $13 million in the fiscal year.

Goucher’s $215 million endowment benefited from strong financial market performance and returned more than 8 percent. The endowment supplied $12 million in support of programs on campus, including student financial aid, and still grew over $5 million. Current giving and endowment support from prior gifts composes more than 33 percent of total revenue.

Continuing the college’s commitment to access and equity in education, in FY 2018, Goucher did not raise tuition rates and increased student aid by approximately $2 million. Net tuition, fees, and auxiliary revenues amounted to approximately $47 million, representing about 61 percent of the college’s total revenue.

Overall, expenses were consistent with 2017, decreasing less than 1 percent. Fiscal year 2018 gains reflect the investment made in the capital plan by the college, the board of trustees, the alumnae/i, and friends, all with the intent to increase the value, attractiveness, and sense of community to current and future students of a relevant residential liberal arts education.

Nina Neale ’19 has many passions—careers in fashion design and neuroscience were initially on her radar at the start of college—but whatever her interests, she has always sought out the opportunities that would get her where she hopes to go.

“I’ve been very intentional with my Goucher experience in terms of discovering ways to bring my academic ambition and personality to what I’m good at, exploring future career paths, and accomplishing what I hope for myself.” Neale said. “Even though my time at Goucher has had various ups and downs, I have never lost sight of why I’m here. I came to college for a reason.”

Her reason is everyone else’s why. Neale is fascinated with how people think, how they express emotion, what influences their decisions, and how it relates back to consumerism and politics. “Knowing why informs the rigor, passion, motivation, and determination of my academics and future profession,” she said.

Her first internship, with BrainReserve, a consulting firm in New York City run by author and futurist Faith Popcorn, helped clinch Neale’s passion for market research during the summer of 2016. She researched a company’s target audience and helped develop strategies to reach that group of people in a meaningful and effective way. “I used my skills from class and other jobs to garner real-world working experience and tangibly connect my experience in a way that also supported my academic career,” Neale said.

The Marjorie Cook Foundation Internship Fund helped Neale to take the internship for credit while balancing the expenses of Manhattan, she said. Although Neale grew up in the city and lived with her parents, she was quickly approaching the financial expectations associated with independence.

It’s why the Ann S. Griffiths ’90 Endowed Scholarship Fund was equally helpful to her college experience, which is an expensive luxury regardless of the institution, she said. Neale realizes not everyone is fortunate enough to continue to college, but she will be forever grateful for the opportunities Goucher provided her. Her intentionality drove her involvement on campus with roles such as manager/caller at Goucher Phonathon, supervisor at the Goucher Poll, marketing and assessment intern for the Office of Student Engagement, and first-year mentor.

As a political science major, Neale was drawn to the field because of the ideology that drives voters and how governments provide public services. She saw this in action with the Goucher Poll, which calls Maryland residents to ask them their opinion on social, economic, and policy-based issues.

“It was an opportunity to tangibly see the importance of collecting data in order to understand individuals and communities. It provided a way to measure ideas, feeling, and fact, and to then synthesize findings through numbers and analysis,” Neale said.

For Neale, working with Goucher Poll has affirmed the importance of not just knowing the what but also the why. She feels it’s important, and under the supervision of Dr. Mileah Kromer, Neale is completing an independent study to create a visual representation of the last six years of data collected by Goucher Poll. “It’s something that I can walk away with and show future employers what I am capable of doing,” Neale said, “especially since I am graduating a semester early and entering the work force soon.”
