2 ABOUT AICUP The Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania (AICUP) serves its 91 two-and fouryear independent, not-for-profit college and university members located across Pennsylvania in many ways.

CHAIR S MESSAGE Dear Friends of Independent Higher Education, AICUP s annual donor report focuses on two key groups our nearly 300,000 students across the state and the donors who support them

3 CHAIR S MESSAGE Dear Friends of Independent Higher Education, AICUP s annual donor report focuses on two key groups our nearly 300,000 students across the state and the donors who support them through their generous gifts. As you know, the primary mission of private nonprofit colleges and universities is to educate students to become effective, contributing members of their communities and society at large. Our goal is to educate the whole person so that our students become great employees, successful professionals, and productive citizens. In this donor report we recognize the generosity of those companies and foundations that care deeply enough about preparing the next generation of citizens and workers that they freely give some of their resources to this cause. On behalf of my fellow Pennsylvania private college and university presidents, I thank you for your continuing magnanimity and steadfast support of our sector. This donor report provides general information about our students and donors, and in-depth information on several of our scholarship winners to give you a sense of the lives you are changing through your gifts. These scholarships would not be possible without your help. Pennsylvania s private nonprofit colleges and universities, located in more than 60 communities, contribute nearly $18 billion a year to the state s economy. Your contribution to this vibrant sector is more important than ever as we face some difficult challenges. The high school age population is declining in the Northeast; and the ethnic, racial, and economic makeup of the United States is changing. We understand that we must focus on affordability and access issues as we evaluate changes in our cost structure and address concerns about ability to pay. We are also challenged by increasing government regulation, as well as declining state spending on higher education. At the same time, more students are accessing higher education remotely. We must be strategic in leveraging new teaching and learning technologies to improve institutional performance without sacrificing the fundamental advantages of a residential college experience. In this challenging context, we are especially grateful for your support of our vital independent higher education sector and especially for helping us to prepare these talented students to make positive contributions to the workforce and to society. Thank you! Sincerely, Janet Morgan Riggs President Gettysburg College Chair AICUP Board of Directors

It is a blessing to be considered a Good Citizen as I spent 13 1/2 years in prison, but my life is now about the changes that I have made and using my experiences as the means to help others. When we fall down, that act does not determine what we will become in life. It is what we do while we are down that determines what will become of us. I was able to get up and have been making something of my life. Here's to continuing to make a difference in the lives of those whom I come in contact with on this journey of life.

While there I taught math lessons as well as helped them paint their school. From that experience, I came to understand that volunteer work is a two-way street: the volunteer adds value to a group of people in need, but also receives something in return. In my case, I received a life-changing experience the realization that people are fundamentally the same whether they are from a First World country or the Third World.
