Anderson at WorkThe Largest Capital GiftEver Receivedby the Anderson School of Management

It’s the largest capital gift ever received by the AndersonSchool of Management. With a generous six figuredonation, Albuquerque real estate developer Steven P.

Jackson has named the Anderson Student Center after his latefather, Paul R. Jackson.

“I lost my father when I was very young” said Jackson. “He did alot for me and this is something I really wanted to do for him.”

Paul Jackson, who passed away in 1982, was a respected localinsurance businessman, former board member at Citizen’s Bankand influential leader in Albuquerque who believed in givingback to his community through education.

The newly named Paul R. Jackson Student Center is adestination place allowing for informal interaction betweenfaculty and students and serving as a gathering place for studygroups, student clubs and organizations and informationdistribution. It is also a popular venue for community events and

outreach including lectures, dinners, receptions, and recruitment activities.

“This expression of faith in our students and their future gives encouragement to allof us,” said interim Anderson Dean Amy Wohlert. “We are very, very grateful toMr. Jackson for providing the right help, at the right time to make an immediatedifference in the success of Anderson’s mission.”

According to Wohlert the Jackson gift is among the largest gifts ever receivedby the school, including six-figure gifts that support professorships,scholarships and lectureships.

Dr. Alistair Preston, professor of Accounting at Anderson and a friend ofSteven Jackson since they went to school together in England some 30 years agosaid they always wanted to do something like this.

“The timing finally came together on this idea which we had talked about for a longtime,” said Preston. “It really is an indication that the Anderson School is worth investing in. One ofthe points of the gift is to stimulate the community to give back to the university.”

And it is working.

As a result of the Jackson gift the Anderson Foundation Board has unanimously voted to put up$100,000 of its money as matching donor funds. Now until June 30, 2008 all donations to thePaul R. JacksonStudent Centerand AndersonFinancial ServicesCenter will bematched dollar fordollar. (see pagefour for details.)

Steven Jackson’sgift was recognizedat the 2008 annualAnderson SchoolHall of FameBanquet and thededicationceremony willtake place laterthis year. � � �

Dear Friends,Everyone in the Anderson community has been hard

at work, and this newsletter gives you only a small sample of theaccomplishments of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends. We workhard because we are proud of our contributions: proud of our past, as reflected inthe legacy of Robert O. Anderson and in the careers of our Hall of Fame honorees;proud of the present, as we gather in our new Paul R. Jackson Student Center to hearfaculty lectures and host community events; and proud of our future, glimpsed in theearnest efforts of 1500 current Anderson students.

With so much to accomplish, we’ve organized our tasks in order to make good progresstoward our major goals. We attend to the basics with our first two goals, which are to increaseAnderson’s graduate enrollment so we can supply the business leaders needed fortomorrow’s economy, and to maintain high accreditation standards that showcase the qualityof our programs. Anderson is among the elite 20% of business schools that have achieved rigorousAACSB International standards. Our aim is not just to meet, but to reach the highest spirit of thosestandards. Our new Assistant Deans, Dr. Michelle Arthur and Dr. Douglas Thomas, are leading theway toward those goals.

The remaining three goals define areas of excellence at Anderson. We focus on success for all our students by creating a broadrange of tools to make degree completion possible and compelling. For example, our math boot camps – a quick math refresher justbefore the start of every semester – are very popular, and our Native American Career Fair is now an annual event. Evening, online, andtelevised courses, offsite courses in Rio Rancho, and executive and certificate programs give students convenient options. With over 50%of our undergraduate students and over 30% of our graduate students from under-represented groups, and with graduation rates of over85%, we know we are moving in a very positive direction.Support for emerging business is our primary economic development goal. Our support is immediate, in terms of providing

assistance for new businesses, and long range, in terms of educating the workforce needed for New Mexico’s future. Thanks topartnerships across UNM and with Sandia and Los Alamos national labs, we have been especially productive in assisting newtechnology-based businesses, and our Technology Business Plan Competition regularly allows us to glimpse the next generation ofsuccessful entrepreneurs. Our emerging expertise in information assurance means that we are at the forefront of new research andtraining in data security.

Good business is grounded in good conduct, so we are fortunate to claim an excellent faculty of leaders in the ethical andsocially responsible conduct of business. For the second time, the Aspen Institute’s “Beyond Grey Pinstripes” recognition rankedus 18th in the world for infusion of ethical and social issues in our curriculum. A partner organization, the New Mexico EthicsAlliance, was created in 2007 and is housed at Anderson in the Pillmore Ethics Center. Our students continue to gain insight intobest practices by serving as fact finders for the annual New Mexico Ethics in Business Awards.

I am proud to be part of the Anderson community. Thanks for your great work!

N on-profit businesses arevulnerable when it comes tocriminal activity. Many non-

profits are targets for criminals due to alack of a fraud protection system and aworkforce which is typically made up ofvolunteers or part-time employees. Butnow a group of Anderson students isreaching out to these organizations andoffering their services for free.

Anderson Professor Dr. Richard Brodyteaches a fraud-related graduate class eachspring (either Forensic Accounting orInternal Auditing and Investigations). A keycomponent of each class is the FraudAwareness/Prevention Project.

“I meet with non-profits before the startof the semester and ask where they mostneed help,” says Brody. “It must be relatedto the class I am teaching, which meansthe focus is on some area of accountingand fraud. For example, we might helpdevelop an internal control system or assistin the creation of a policies and proceduresmanual for the organization. It could alsorelate to governance such as helping theorganization create and operate a Board ofDirectors. Each project is very different.”

This semester 19 students are workingwith six local organizations. Thoseorganizations are Watermelon MountainRanch, Cornucopia Adult Day Services,Outcomes, Inc., Barrett Foundation Inc.,ARCA, and the New Mexico Associationfor Home and Hospice. At thesebusinesses the students perform a variety ofjobs including creating spreadsheets andhelping with computer software. Brodysays the students’ efforts “absolutely helpthe organizations, who appreciate thecontributions the students are making.”

This is the second year the class hasbeen offered. It was conceived after Brody,who believes in the importance ofcommunity service, decided to incorporate

his passion into theclass and get thestudents involved. Forthe students who signup participation is asignificant part of theirgrade - counting for25 percent.

“As a professor Ihave never hadstudents complain,”said Brody. “Theirinvolvement with theorganizations comeson top of everythingelse they are doing asstudents such as takingtests, writing papersand going to class.”

Brody says thestudents are veryaware of what theyare getting involved in.In the first class hemakes sure thestudents know exactlywhat is expected ofthem and tells them ifthey can’t commit thetime, this probably isn’t the class for them.

Graduate student Sandy Woods is ateam leader at the Watermelon MountainRanch. “The Fraud Awareness/PreventionProject is a great opportunity for us tolearn about our professional and personalresponsibilities of giving back to thecommunity. The project encourages us toreach out to the community and lend ahelping hand.”

Woods and her team members havedeveloped policies and procedures at theno-kill animal shelter in Rio Rancho. Andwith the help of MIS graduate studentJessica Dillinger-Hale the team has alsohelped the organization use its computerprograms more efficiently.

“The Watermelon Mountain Ranch is awonderful organization that works hard atits cause,” says Woods. “It has beenrewarding to be able to apply skills learnedin class to help the organization improve itsbusiness operations and also learn abouthow to prevent fraud in its organization.”

The first year Brody had a tough timegetting non-profits to let the students intotheir organizations, but this yearrecruitment was easy. He thinks the wordgot out in the community about how thestudents could make a difference. In fact,some of the organizations asked thestudents to return for a second year, atestament that the project is a success forall those involved. � � �

“I have enjoyed Dr. Brody’s classproject because it provides us

the chance to apply skills we havelearned in the classroom to a hands-onlearning environment while alsocontributing to the improvement of thecommunity” - Graduate student Sandy Woods

John Lewinger, CEO of Grubb & Ellis and Jim Chynoweth, the managing director of CB Richard Ellis, are two of the top commercial realestate professionals in Albuquerque and this semester they are bringing their skills into the classroom. Their course Real Estate Principlesgives Anderson students a real world approach to the industry. The idea of developing this course came from a simple premise.

“The real estate industry has hired many Anderson graduates throughout the years,” said Lewinger. “Then we realized we haven’t hadmuch of a relationship with UNM. It was time we stepped up and got involved.”

The result is a hands-on, practical approach on how to make a living in real estate. In the class, students are separated into severalgroups and the goal of each group is to sell and develop a vacant piece of land. Throughout the semester the students take on the variousroles of broker, developer, banker, architect, and attorney as they learn the process of commercial real estate. Lewinger says the approachhelps the students figure out which job is right for them.

“I think they have a better chance of getting placed in the proper aspect within the industry. It allows them to make better decisions andgives them more choices.”

In addition to teaching the course, Lewinger and Chynoweth are doing all they can to help the students succeed. The two serve on theboard of the Real Estate Education Foundation (REEF), a sponsor of the class. REEF will reimburse students for the $130 textbook if theycomplete the course.

Lewinger says working with UNM has been a positive experience and in the longterm having an educated real estate workforce will not only help his industry but willadd to local economic development. � � �

Robert O. Anderson1917-2007

The namesake of the Anderson School passed away on December 2, 2007 at the age of90. Robert O. Anderson, legendary oilman and well-known philanthropist, died at hishome in Roswell, NM. He is survived by Barbara, his wife of 68 years, seven children,

20 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Born in Chicago in 1917, Anderson started his career in New Mexico at the age of 24.With help from his father, Anderson and his brothers purchased a refinery to produce aviationfuel for the US Army Air Force. Over the next several years he acquired more refineries andbecame a successful wildcatter with a major find at the Empire-Abo field in New Mexico.

In 1963 he merged his company into the Atlantic Refining Company of Philadelphia andwithin three years he merged again, this time with Richfield Oil to form the new company Arco.

Anderson discovered the largest oil field in North America in 1967, when after a series offailures he insisted on drilling one more exploratory well on the North Slope in Alaska. To date it has produced billionsof barrels of crude and accounts for a fifth of domestic oil production.

Anderson also led the seven-company effort to develop the Alaskan oil pipeline in 1974, the same year the businessschool at UNM was named the Robert O. Anderson School of Management.

Interim Dean Amy Wohlert called Anderson “one of the nation’s foremost businessmen. His many contributions tothe oil industry, to the economy of New Mexico, and to the responsible conduct of business have made him anenduring legend. The Anderson School will now carry his name proudly as a memorial.”

His son Robert B. is continuing the family legacy at UNM where he is currently a member of the AndersonFoundation Board.

The following have generously contributed $100 or more tothe Anderson School of Management between 01/01/2007and 12/31/2007, excluding matching gifts. The AndersonSchool thanks these donors for their support. For moreinformation on how to donate to Anderson please contact thedevelopment office at 505-277-7114.

FIBEA 2007The Fostering Indigenous Business and Entrepreneurship in theAmericas (FIBEA) Conference took place at Acoma Pueblo's Sky CityResort on November 7 - 9, 2007.

Anderson marketing students are making a name for themselvesin college circles around the country. Their success innational marketing challenges has them repeatedly earning

top honors and adding to the many Anderson accomplishments.Last semester the undergraduate students in John Benavidez’

marketing class earned first place in Project Acceleration: Subaru ImprezaCollegiate Challenge. The Anderson School of Management was one of onlyeight universities selected for the challenge that gives students the opportunity togain real-world marketing experience while still in school. The focus of the project wasfor the students to promote the Subaru Impreza product line to their peers: GenerationY.

“These types of programs give our students the unique opportunity to conduct, analyze andinterpret research as part of developing an integrated marketing communications campaign,” saidDr. Catherine Roster, who mentored the students throughout the marketing research phase of the Subaru Challenge.

“What makes this program so exceptional is that it is run entirely by students, for students,” says Benavidez. The program concluded with aformal, marketing and public relations agency-style presentation that served as a unique opportunity for students to develop public speakingand presentation skills, in addition to building self-confidence.

At the end of the challenge Anderson was one of the two top universities invited to Subaru of America, Inc. headquarters in Cherry Hill, NJto present their campaign. It was in this final phase that Anderson students won over Drexel University for first place honors.

This is the fourth consecutive school year a team from UNM has advanced to the final round in this type of marketing competition. In 2005and 2006, Anderson MBA students placed first in the Cadillac National Case Study Competition. The school’s team finished second in 2007.

And the marketing classes arehoping for great results again thissemester. Undergraduate marketingstudents are currently participating inan industry-education program,sponsored by the American PublicTransportation Association (APTA),giving them the opportunity todevelop a national and localmarketing campaign for publictransportation. Ads from theircampaign entitled, My Other Ride,will air on Albuquerque area radioand television stations this spring.

Meanwhile, graduate students arelooking to increase enrollment inAnderson’s MBA program. Theircampaign, entitled, Do SomethingReal., consists of print advertising, adirect mailing, promotional products,an open house, and innovative mobilemarketing using text messaging. Andwhat makes this campaign all themore impressive, is that the studentsare doing all of this work on ashoestring budget.

Stay tuned. We’ll let you know theoutcome once both campaigns arecomplete. � � �

UNM Technology Business PlanWinners Announced

The Anderson School of Management is pleased to announce the winners of its 2008 UNM TechnologyBusiness Plan Competition. Capturing first place honors was Advanced Pulmonary Solutions (APS). Team membersKevin Stevenson, Robin Perini, and James Baldwin won the $25,000 Michael Gallegos Prize for Entrepreneurship aswell as legal services from Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck. Their winning plan aims to commercializeinnovative, non-invasive diagnostic tools for a wide array of bacterial infections of the pulmonary system.

Participant Kevin Stevenson said being able to receive feedback and recommendations from world-classjudges was a once in a lifetime opportunity. “The business plan competition was great because it provides a veryreal example of how different parts of a business work together,” said Stevenson. “In our courses, focus is usuallylimited to the material being studied at any given time. Being able to experience how everything comes together- technology, finance, marketing, organizational behavior - in a very real way proved to be an outstandinglearning experience.”

Surya Skincare team members Steven Renfro, William Reichard, Miles Nelson, Klaus Mueller, and PeterDuselis took home the second place TVC Lockheed Martin $10,000 Prize for their plan that builds on patentednanotechnology to offer consumers the first-ever optically transparent sunscreen able to claim completeprotection against cancer-causing UV radiation.

Third place went to Meghan Norvell and Isaac Estrada of ABQari Wellness, who presented plans toproduce innovative, high quality nutraceutical compounds at the cutting edge of nutritional science. Thesecompounds are designed to reduce the risk of such diseases as prostate cancer, inflammation, and connectivetissue injury. The pair received the $5,000 vSpring Capital Prize.

In all, ten teams competed in the third annual UNM Technology Business Plan Competition. In additionto the $40,000 in prize money, venture capital partners also offered more than $100,000 in seed funding asincentives for the students looking to form their own high-tech startups in New Mexico. Dr. Sul Kassicieh,Anderson Endowed Chair in Economic Development and competition founder, says economicdevelopment’s central theme is the creation of wealth and high-paying jobs. “In what better way canUNM contribute to New Mexico’s success than by using our technological expertise to start newenterprises that potentially provide us with both?” asks Kassicieh. “UNM students increase ourlabor pool when they graduate, but they can enrich that pool for themselves and futuregenerations when they use our technology resources to start companies that bring newjobs to others and wealth to themselves. The Center for Support of EconomicDevelopment and the Management of Technology program at Anderson match studentswith real-life projects that create revenue locally and allow us to compete globally.”

The winners were announced at a banquet at the DoubleTree Hotel on Friday,April 11. Sherman McCorkle, President andChief Executive Officer of TechnologyVentures Corporation, delivered thekeynote address and Michelle Coons,Commercial Banking Manager with Bank ofthe West, was the emcee for the event.This year more business communitypartners and Anderson faculty wereinvolved in mentoring the buddingentrepreneurs than ever before, and thefield of competitors was the strongest yet inthe competition's three year history.
