Hixson Scholars Have Unique Opportunities
Acomputer engineer-ing major fromDubuque and a
journalism major fromOnawa may not havemuch in common atfirst glance. But sen-iors Jason Richard andNicole Paseka are bothunited in their intent ofmaking the most of theopportunities affordedthem at Iowa Statethrough the ChristinaHixson OpportunityAwards program.
Richard came to Ames with an
interest in engineering.
“I chose Iowa State because
of its reputation and closeness
to home,” said the 21-year-old.
“Cost was certainly a factor,
and the Hixson Scholarship has
really allowed me to focus on
my studies.”
Richard has used the
opportunity to focus on his
computer engineering degree,
and the benefits have paid
off immeasurably. In the spring
of 2001, he received the
National Science Foundation’s
Scholarship for Service, a two-
year program that allows top
students the opportunity to
work for various areas of the
federal government. He’s been
involved in projects at the
Naval Research Lab’s radar divi-
sion, and has a post graduation
offer from the National Security
Agency to work on a radio fre-
quency project for the military’s
special operations units.
Paseka is currently the edi-
tor-in-chief of The Iowa State
Daily. While those responsibili-
ties occupy most of her free
time, she readily admits it’s
been an experience she won’t
soon forget.
“I never thought, I’d have to
leave a meeting with the head
of the department of public
safety because I needed to be at
a meeting with President
Geoffroy,” she said. “My days
are anything but typical, and
being the Daily’s editor has been
a tremendous opportunity.”
She’s quick to point out that
if it weren’t for the Hixson
scholarship, her college experi-
ence would be much different.
“I wouldn’t be able to afford
to spend my time and energy at
the newspaper, that’s for sure,”
she said. “I would miss so
much if it weren’t for the
Hixson program.” t
Seniors Jason Richard and Nicole Paseka realize the opportunities affordedthem through the Christina Hixson Opportunity Awards program.

Chemistry alumnaDr. Esther C.(Peterson) Daniel
(LAS ’23) establisheda $600,000 bequest to create the Estherand George DanielEndowed Scholarshipfor Chemistry. Thebequest was realizedthis year after herdeath at age 102.
Daniel first expressed interest in
leaving a legacy at Iowa State
back in 1994 at the age of
95. It was her desire to
use her estate to benefit
a new generation of
chemistry students at
ISU, and the funds real-
ized from her gift will
benefit both graduate and
undergraduate scholarships.
This summer, ISU
Foundation staff and chemistry
department faculty hosted Dr.
Daniel’s executor for a tour of the
chemistry department. During
the tour, it was discovered that
her maiden name is featured on
a display in the atrium of Gilman
Hall. (Daniel was a student
of Dr. Henry Gilman,
for whom the hall is
named.)
During the tour,
chemistry department
chair Dr. Gordon Miller
noted that he had discov-
ered Dr. Daniel’s work had
been referenced in scientific
papers as late at 1996. Thanks
to some generous estate plan-
ning, her contributions to the
field of chemistry will continue
for years to come. t
If you have an interestin personal and family finances, the
role women can play as philanthropists andmoney strategies for the21st century, then planon attending the Womenand PhilanthropySeminar on Friday,April 23, 2004 at theHotel at GatewayCenter in Ames.
This event will feature
Terry Savage, a nation-
ally known expert on
personal finance, TV
personality and author
of three best-selling
books. Savage is a regu-
lar TV commentator on
CNN, PBS and NBC
regarding investing and mar-
kets. Her books include “The
Savage Truth on Money,”
“Terry Savage’s New Money
Strategies for the 90s” and
“Terry Savage Talks Money.”
The seminar will also
include a luncheon; network-
ing opportunities; a book
signing with Savage; and
breakout sessions on a variety
of philanthropic and financial
topics. This year, more than
250 people attended this
event, and even more are
expected next year.
This event is being planned
by the ISU Foundation Women
and Philanthropy Committee.
The group was formed in 2000
to assist the foundation in its
mission to support ISU by
expanding the involvement of
women as philanthropists.
“The role of volunteer and
giver is a traditional one for
women, yet few people have
thought of women as philan-
thropists,” said Linda Dasher of
Ames, chair of the committee.
“Today women have increased
control over more money than
ever before and are viewing
strategic philanthropy as an
opportunity to help shape the
future of our society,” Dasher
said. This seminar will help
women—and men—become
more educated about personal
and family finances, how to
plan for the future and make
wise philanthropic choices.

Daniel Bequest Benefits Chemistry Students
Iowa State has a longstanding reputation for
attracting some of the brightest students from
all over the world. But when Ukrainian-born
Nataliya Hupalo—a senior Honors student
majoring in finance and
accounting—calls from the
ISU Foundation PhoneCenter,
the voice with a slight accent
isn’t what many ISU alumni
and supporters expect.
“I find that many people
are very interested in talking
with me,” said Hupalo. “They
want to know more about me,
Ukraine, and why I chose to
come to Iowa State.”
Her choice to come to ISU came largely from
her exposure to the university in high school.
Nataliya’s father, Myron, is a visiting scientist in
the Physics and Astronomy department, and works
at the Ames Lab. The elder Hupalo brought his
family to Ames when Nataliya was 15.
“I chose Iowa State because I was already very
familiar with the university, and because of quality
of the College of Business,” she said.
While private support of a public university is
almost unheard of in her homeland, it’s a facet of
American education that Hupalo has quickly real-
ized is important. As a business student, she often
works in two Carver Hall com-
puter labs funded by Arthur
Andersen and The Principal
Financial Group. She’s had a
class taught by Arnold Cowan,
who holds the Ganoe Faculty
Fellowship in Finance. She’s
also the recipient of two
scholarships—the Lee
Hoover Memorial Scholarship
and a scholarship from Wells
Fargo Bank. Although she’s
benefited from private gift support in many ways,
there’s one project she’s most excited about.
“After working for the foundation for the past
year, I’ve really developed an appreciation for
the role private support means to my education.
Without scholarships, faculty support and the
money that makes new equipment and buildings
a reality, Iowa State would be a very different
place, Hupalo said.” t

Reiman. “We started out very
small with just an acre or two.
With the help of Iowa State,
the project just kept growing

nities for Iowa’s youth.
College of Design Launches“Silver Challenge”The 2003-04 academic year
marks the 25th anniversary of
the founding of the College of
Design at ISU. To celebrate this
important milestone, the col-
lege has embarked on a cam-
paign to raise $4 million in pri-
vate funds to help complete its
expansion and improvement
plans. Currently more than
1,900 students are served
through a facility designed
for 1,600.
“To be successful, we know
this campaign must be a grass-
roots and collaborative effort,”
said Mark Engelbrecht, dean of
the college. “Our goal is ambi-
tious, but critical to achieving
national distinction in design
education.”
The campaign will enable
the college to construct a large
open design studio and support
spaces; develop a new multidis-
ciplinary curriculum that
includes seven new focus areas;
and recruit new faculty mem-
bers to help implement the
programs.
If you would like to make

established and highly respect-
ed history. With more than 500
students vying for 105 openings
annually, the college continues
its long tradition of graduating
high quality veterinarians.
The college has announced
plans to raise $7 million in pri-
vate support to help renovate
and expand the Veterinary
Teaching Hospital. “Creating
the Future” is a project that
will distinguish the Veterinary
Teaching Hospital as a premier
environment for the study and
practice of modern veterinary
medicine.
“Students and patients will
be the ultimate beneficiaries in
this project,” said Norman
Cheville, dean of the college.
“Students will learn in a mod-
ern teaching hospital that will
allow for more efficient patient
treatment in a setting that is
designed for training and inter-
action,” Cheville said. “And
patients who require a very
high level of care will benefit
from the newly designed facili-
ty.” The Veterinary Teaching
Hospital handles more than
13,000 cases each year.

College of Design Launches“Silver Challenge”The 2003-04 academic year
marks the 25th anniversary of
the founding of the College of
Design at ISU. To celebrate this
important milestone, the col-
lege has embarked on a cam-
paign to raise $4 million in pri-
vate funds to help complete its
expansion and improvement
plans. Currently more than
1,900 students are served
through a facility designed
for 1,600.
“To be successful, we know
this campaign must be a grass-
roots and collaborative effort,”
said Mark Engelbrecht, dean of
the college. “Our goal is ambi-
tious, but critical to achieving
national distinction in design
education.”
The campaign will enable
the college to construct a large
open design studio and support
spaces; develop a new multidis-
ciplinary curriculum that
includes seven new focus areas;
and recruit new faculty mem-
bers to help implement the
programs.

As you walk throughcentral campus,you get the feeling
that a sleeping giant isbeginning to stir. Forthe first time in a hand-ful of years, MorrillHall is starting to seelife in its halls beyondthat of creeping vinesand flying critters.During the fall, engi-neers and architectshave been spending a great deal of timepreparing to turn thisslumbering giant intoSleeping Beauty.
While planning for the $9 mil-
lion renovation has recently
begun in earnest, the project
has been in full swing for more
than a year. As of October,
more than $5.7 million has
been raised to give Morrill Hall
new life and new purpose. All
of the funding has been pri-
vately raised—except for
$850,000 from the Iowa legisla-
ture, which is earmarked
specifically for two general use
classrooms. Like nearly every
fund-raising effort undertaken
at ISU, Morrill Hall has
received a handful of major
gifts—including a $1 million
pledge from Lyle (AGR ’66)
and Nancy Campbell, and a
$250,000 gift from Barbara
Raeder Palmer (FCS ’46). But
the majority of the project’s
support has and will need to
come from a large number of
individuals committed to
Morrill Hall’s future.
Take for example, the
$10,000 commitment from
Bob (ENG ’50) and Gwen
(Henderson) (FCS ’50)
Dahlberg.
Both Bob and Gwen have
supported various projects
and activities at Iowa State for
years, but their most recent
commitment honors the
university’s rich history and
the contributions made by
those who once walked
Morrill’s halls.
“My mother, Ardith (Negus)
Henderson, went to Iowa
State,” said Gwen. “This dona-
tion was our way of honoring
her and the many others who
have attended Iowa State.”
“When I think about people
like George Washington Carver
or John Atanasoff possibly
walking through Morrill Hall,
it’s hard not to want to preserve
this part of ISU’s history,” said
Bob. “Saving this building is an
investment in Iowa State’s past
that will pay significant divi-
dends in its future.”
The Dahlbergs’ sentiments
seem representative of many
other alums, according to
Debra Engle, vide president
for development at the ISU
Foundation.
“Through this campaign,
we’ve heard from alumni who
remember taking classes in
Morrill Hall, and younger
alums who remember their
parents talking about classes
there,” Engle, said. “We’ve even
heard from people who never
set foot in the building, but
couldn’t imagine the Iowa State
campus without it.”
Now that the campaign is
past the halfway point, Morrill
Hall’s future depends on more
gifts like the Dahlbergs’.
Morrill Hall honors the
author of the land grant act of
1862. Because of the efforts of
a single senator from the state
of Vermont, thousands of lives
have been greatly enhanced by
Iowa State University. The hall
is a visible symbol of how one
person can impact the lives of
countless others. Your donation
to the Morrill Hall renovation
project will not only save an
important piece of ISU history,
it will also touch the lives of
future generations of Iowa
Staters. t

Dear Friends:
Last fiscal year was a time
of change… and a time of
progress. The organization
was led by Peg Armstrong-
Gustafson who served a one-
year term as president while
a search was underway for
a permanent leader. A new
public information policy
was approved by the board
and released to the media
and general public. We
launched the Morrill Hall
fund-raising drive to preserve
this historic campus treasure.
And late in the year, Dan
Saftig was hired as the founda-
tion’s new president.
In terms of private fund-
raising efforts, there was much
to celebrate during the 2002-03
year. Following is a glimpse of
some highlights:
• Although total fund-raising production declined in FY2003from $66 to 54.7 million, the number of gifts received to support ISU through the foun-dation increased by 7 percent to 50,513 compared with the previous year.
• Last year more than 3,200 ISUstudents received $9.9 millionthrough the foundation in schol-arships, fellowships, awardsand loans.
• Funds transferred to Iowa Stateby the foundation for faculty,building and program supportwas $24.8 million, an increase of9 percent from last fiscal year.
• The combined total of privatephilanthropy funds made available to ISU last year was$51.3 million, an increase of 32 percent.
• In the last 10 years, nearly $289 million in private gifts andendowment earnings have beenmade available to ISU.
The ISU Foundation is
committed to maximizing
private support for Iowa State
University. Thank you for your
past and future gifts. As always,
we welcome your suggestions
and comments.

Annual ReportJULY 1, 2002 TO JUNE 30, 2003
“In terms of privatefundraising efforts,
there was much to celebrate…”
Meet the New ISU Foundation President
Dan Saftig officiallybegan as the newpresident and CEO
of the Iowa StateUniversity Foundationon July 1. He is aMidwesterner, a firstgeneration college stu-dent and is proud of hisland-grant heritage. Healso believes strongly in the power of privatesupport and what thatcan mean for IowaState University.
Saftig had been vice president
of marketing and communica-
tions for the Minnesota
Medical Foundation at the
University of Minnesota in
Minneapolis where he helped
lead a $500 million capital
campaign that surpassed its
goal. Saftig has more than
20 years experience in the
fundraising business, including
seven at Penn State University
where he led the annual giving
effort and other programs.
Saftig holds a bachelor’s
degree from the University of
Wisconsin–La Crosse and a
master’s degree from the
University of San Francisco.
Dan and his wife Leslie have
two sons ages 8 and 9.
Saftig answered the follow-
ing questions during his first
few weeks on the job:
Q: What attracted you to this
position?
A: There were three factors that
played a role in my move to
Ames. First, is the great reputa-
tion of Iowa State University
and the ISU Foundation. I was
always aware of Iowa State, but
the more I looked, the more I
was impressed. Secondly, I was
very impressed with everyone I
met at the university and foun-
dation—they are a hard work-
ing group of individuals who
want nothing more than great
success for Iowa State. And
lastly is the community. Ames
is a good place to live and
raise a family, and that really
appealed to us. Leslie and I
have met many wonderful
people connected to ISU and
Ames, and we look forward to
meeting many more.
Q: What excites you the most
about your job?
A: It’s great to witness the joy
in the faces of benefactors
when they see their dreams
come true—when they get to
meet the student they have
helped through a scholarship
or when they see the new lab
or classroom they have helped
to build. Philanthropy is an
exciting profession because we
help people make a difference.
Q: What are your goals for the
foundation?
A: Our main goal is to maxi-
mize private support for Iowa
State University and serve ISU
in the best possible way.
Q: How does private support
benefit Iowa State?
A: Philanthropy can do a lot to
provide for Iowa State and its
students. Private support can
define the difference between a
good university and great one.
Our job at the foundation is to
help match the desires of bene-
factors to the wishes and needs
of ISU. When we can bring
both groups together—and
everyone benefits—then we’ve
done our job successfully.
Q: Do you feel settled yet
in Ames?
A: Actually I was feeling at
home before we even left
Minnesota. Once I accepted the
job, I began noticing Iowa State
things everywhere—shirts,
license plates, etc. When I told
people I was moving to Ames,
I learned that some were ISU
alums—even my neighbors.
People I talked with spoke very
highly of the university, and
that just reinforced my decision
to come here. Yes, we are set-
tled into our new home and are
proud to be Cyclones. t

“YOUR GIFTS MAKE IOWA STATE GREAT“
“With my job at the foundation, I've really
developed an appreciation for the role private
support has in my education. Your gifts make
scholarships, faculty support, new equipment
and buildings a reality. Without them, Iowa State
would be a very different place!”
NATALIYA HUPALO,student supervisor, ISU Foundation PhoneCenter
Since arriving at Iowa State, Nataliya has learned firsthand the importance of private support at
public universities. As a finance and accounting major, she's been taught by the Ganoe Faculty
Fellow in finance. She often works in two privately funded Carver Hall computer labs, and she's
the recipient of two scholarships. Soon, she'll be taking classes in the new Gerdin Building.
If you simply can’t wait for Nataliya’s call to make your gift, call the ISU Foundation at 1-800-621-8515, or visit us at www.foundation.iastate.edu
