Dear members, Colorado State University recently celebrated success in raising $500 million for our campaign six months early. Launched on July 1, 2005, this first comprehensive campaign in CSU history is an unqualified success. Focused on students, faculty support, and programs, the campaign has raised $59.1 million for scholarships, with 15,372 scholarships awarded, added 16 faculty positions, and built or renovated 39 facilities (23 partially funded by private support, and 16 fully funded by private support). THANK YOU! Your support as members of the Alumni Association has made an impact on the campaign as well. More than $750,000 has been raised from annual, life, and sustaining life memberships. More than $215,000 in scholarship support has been generated for the Association’s Legacy Scholarship and Metro Denver Scholarship. Your thoughtfulness and generosity have clearly made a difference, and I am sincerely grateful for your support. I hope you’ll join me in keeping the momentum going and challenging yourself to stretch a bit higher. If you’re an annual member, consider upgrading to a life membership, and if you’re a life member, consider giving an annual sustaining life membership gift. Similar to physical stretching, the higher you stretch, the taller you’ll feel. Thank you for all you do for CSU and the Alumni Association. GO RAMS!
With gratitude,

Impact and making a difference is what Nora Carrillo (’94), annual member, is about. “I work with
causes that I know will somehow make a difference in the long run,” Carrillo says. Carrillo is program manager at Phoenix Children’s Hospital in Phoenix, Ariz. and oversees a team of childhood development specialists who work in the community and in the hospital’s general pediatrics clinic. The specialists teach both parents and pediatric residents about childhood development, answer-ing questions about parenting and child behavior, such as ‘why is my four-year-old lying?’. “Because Phoenix Children’s is a nonprofit hospital, we can offer services in our general pediatrics clinic that other pediatricians can’t. We can offer social workers and other resources,” she says. The Early Childhood Development Program runs play groups, marketed through the libraries, for families with children from birth to age five. The play groups are a free service to patients of the clinic and families living in the northwest Phoenix area. “We focus on the family as a whole,”
Carrillo says. The program has served 2000 families. The program is 100 percent grant funded, so Carrillo spends a good portion of time writing grants. “Everybody loves the pro-gram, but when it comes to fund-ing, a lot of insurance companies don’t pay for prevention,” she says. Prevention is important to Carrillo. She is a member of the advisory board of Communities In Schools, a grant-funded program to staff schools with a resource person who will help prevent kids from dropping out of school. “I like the model of providing resources for students to prevent dropout. It is such a great investment,” she says. She also is former president for the Desert Cancer Foundation of Arizona, a grassroots organiza-tion that raises money to provide free mammogram and prostate screenings to uninsured and underinsured women and men. “I
first joined as a volunteer inter-preter for Spanish-speaking
patients. My maternal grandmother died of breast

An Ounce of Prevention Nora Carrillo (’94) works to improve the future of others
cancer when I was six, and I am a firm believer in prevention,” she says. During her down time, Carrillo can be found hiking or running with her dog. She ran the New York City Marathon last November – “that was fun” – and she is training to run an ultramarathon, eventually. “I’m not good or fast, but long-distance run-ning is something I like to do,” she says. “Running is such a great stress reliever. It helps me clear my head or work through a problem. I also like to run because the running community is such a great group of friendly people.”

“I’m probably one of the luckiest guys in the world. To be in the sport of rowing my entire life has been a blessing”
Fred Schoch (M.A. ’76), Executive Director, Head Of The Charles Regatta

At 63 years old, 6 feet 4 inches, and 215 pounds, Schoch still competes at the master’s level in rowing and is be-coming more involved in institutions he cherishes. He is guest coach and a member of the alumni council at Kent School, Conn., on the board of rowing stewards at the University of Wash-ington, and a volunteer on the World Rowing Organizing Committee. He has recently been appointed technical director for the Latin America Olym-pic Qualification Regatta in Buenos Aires, Argentina this March. When he’s not working or volunteering, he can be found on the Connecticut River in Hanover, NH, where he and his wife own a vacation home. With the beautiful scenery and calm waters, Schoch says, “It’s next to paradise.”
by Beth Etter (’03)
Fred Schoch (M.A. ’76), annual member, is in bed by 9 p.m. and wakes at 4:45 a.m. That
early awakening allows him to train for one and half hours—either on a rowing ergometer or on the water —before heading to his office at the Head Of The Charles Regatta in Boston, Mass. He’s one of the fortunate few where his vocation is his avocation. “I’m probably one of the luckiest guys in the world. I remember my dear mother used to preach to me about having a bread and butter career, nothing ethereal or I’d end up in a soup line. To be in the sport of rowing my entire life has been a blessing,” he says. Schoch was on the water early on in life, coxing in the 1960 U.S. Olympic Trials as a 10-year-old. His father was the rowing coach at Princeton Univer-sity from 1938 to 1971. Though he was raised on the east coast, Schoch moved west for college and competed on the rowing team at the University of Washington where he earned a degree in English. “[After graduation] I thought about going into teach-ing and my advisor recommended grad school,” he says. Schoch chose Colorado State University to pursue a master’s degree in literature. Colorado wasn’t a random selection. Schoch had spent summers in Colo-rado as a teenager working on a cattle ranch on the Western Slope. “One of my dad’s crew captains at Princeton owned a ranch in Carbondale. I got sent out there to become a man and throw hay bales, ride horseback in the high country overnight, mend fences, and put out salt licks. It was a fabu-
lously enriching experience and good hard work,” he says. With a master’s degree in his pocket, Schoch headed back east to teach at the private school he had attended as a young man. He was English teacher, crew coach, and dorm master, all rolled into one. Eventually he transi-tioned back to rowing and coached at Princeton, the U.S. Naval Academy, and finally served as the head rowing coach at Georgetown University. He then started a regatta on the Hudson River in New York before working for the Head Of The Charles (HOCR). As the executive director of the Head Of The Charles Regatta, Schoch is responsible for producing and fun-draising nearly $2 million annually for the event each October. He writes 500 to 600 funding proposals a year. “We serve 9,000 competitors and 300,000 spectators,” Schoch says. “This [HOCR] has been called the Super Bowl of rowing. It’s on every rower’s bucket list. It’s challenging, yet exhila-rating, running an event the size and scope of the Regatta,” he says. Schoch approaches leadership in business much the way he approached coaching: “Good teachers are good leaders. One needs to be inspiring and motivational, which includes absolute subject knowledge and gaining trust,” he says. Though Schoch is immensely proud of his work with HOCR over 22 years and is a five-time U.S. National Team coach, he says those achievements pale in comparison to his personal relation-ships. “I’ve had a very strong partner-ship with my wife, Beatrice, and we’re fortunate to have two handsome, healthy, and successful sons,” he says.

Design Trends Cindy Benson-Larvick (’89) may have designed something you’re wearing
I always knew I wanted to do apparel design – that,
or be a zoologist, and I couldn’t make it through biology,” says Cindy Benson-Larvick (’89), annual member. Though Ms. Benson-Larvick looked at the Art Institute of Colorado, she ultimately ended up at CSU because of the four-year program in apparel design and merchandising. Her first design job was at the Rocky Mountain Clothing Company where she designed western tops and bottoms. She moved into designing prints and patterns—the surface design on top of a garment, such as plaids, stripes, and embellishments, is called textile design—before moving on to Dillard’s, the May Company, and now, JCPenney. Benson-Larvick has been with JCPenney since 2003 and is the managing textile designer over juniors. She has three direct reports and oversees two brands: Arizona and Decree. “We used to respond to trends and things were driven by buyers, but now
it’s more design driven. You’re trying to do the most updated thing and be relevant and be sure it fits into the brand while working in the timelines. It’s very fast moving in juniors,” she says. Benson-Larvick gets design inspiration from a variety of things: “It could be anything, even things not related to fashion: going to flea markets, traveling to another city, going to the museum, watching movies,” she says. Her own fashion favorites include jeans (“I’ve been a jeans hog forever”), shoes (“I love Converse”), and rings. When Benson-Larvick isn’t at work, she’s traveling, going out to eat, or shopping. “Shopping is a national pastime here. In Dallas alone, there are 10 malls,” she says.
Why Cindy Benson-Larvick (’89) is a member of the Alumni AssociationI’ve always loved Colorado and CSU. I loved going to school there. I thought it [membership] was a good opportunity to contribute back a little.

In 1990, Brian McCoy was a sophomore in high school in
Anchorage, Ala. He was watching the Freedom Bowl when Colorado State trumped the University of Oregon in an exciting 32–31 victory. It was that introduction to Colorado State that ultimately lead McCoy to enroll at CSU. “I had never been to Colorado. I knew I wanted to be near the mountains, and I wanted to get off the west coast and have a new experience. It was an easy decision to make,” McCoy (’98) says. McCoy studied business administration, was a member of the CSU cycling team, and was a sports reporter for the Rocky Mountain Collegian. After graduation McCoy moved to Seattle and began work in computer hardware and software sales. After a stint in public relations he went to Food Service of America where he was a merchandising analyst. With experience in the food and beverage industry, McCoy looked toward Starbucks, a pervasive company in Seattle, for the next step in his career.
In six years with the company, McCoy has been involved with the supply chain group in planning and forecasting for retail brewing equipment, in product development working on a hot chocolate product for retail sale, and now as a senior financial analyst for the global store development group. With stores in 55 countries, Starbucks has a lot of store development happening. “It’s hard to get bored here. There’s never a shortage of something to be working on. You always feel engaged,” McCoy says. In addition to the fast pace, McCoy appreciates that Starbucks is a socially conscious organization. “They take it to heart. It’s not just a tagline or advertisement,” he says. “For instance, ethical sourcing is very important. We have a set of sourcing practices in place for our coffee and cocoa that is audited by a third party so we can feel good about what we’re buying and selling.”
Brian McCoy (’98) connects all three at Colorado State

McCoy continues his active lifestyle. He will run the Vancouver Marathon in May, and, for the second time, will ride the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic in July (200 miles in one day).

Why Brian McCoy (’98) is a member of the Alumni AssociationI understand the importance of how the University is perceived. Being a Colorado State graduate, I take that pretty seriously and understand how the University is perceived is reflected on how I’m perceived as a business person. Anything I can do to help improve that effort is something I would love to do. It doesn’t just happen in a vacuum – it takes personal efforts and monetary efforts to make things happen.

OccupationPre-K teacher with First Presbyterian School, a local private institution. It’s such a fun age. When they’re curious about everything, it makes it easy to teach.
What are your hobbies?I do a lot of volunteer work with CSU, the Great Dane Rescue of Southeast Texas, and I’m on the board of direc-tors for A Simple Thread. When I’m not busy doing those, I will perfect my photography skills. I have a Great Dane named Digit. We adopted him when he was eight weeks old; he is now six. Why are you involved with the Houston Ram Network?I started when I graduated as a means to meet new people in a new city. Now, I think it’s my way to give back to the University. I have great pride in being affiliated with the alumni network and I attempt to spread that passion to other alumni.
What’s a favorite activity you do with the Ram Network?I really like the annual Colorado Connection (a networking event with alumni from other Colorado universi-ties). It allows me to meet new alumni as well as other Colorado transplants. What is a favorite memory of CSU?The day I moved in freshman year. My dad and I went to the Student Center to pick up my pre-ordered books and they gave me a huge box of books. He made me carry that box all the way back to Durward. Do you visit CSU? If so, what’s a must-see?My sister lives in Firestone, Colo. and my other sister graduates from CSU in May. We always have to visit the Oval and the Student Center. We usually walk around campus to see the new buildings and observe what’s changed in such a short period of time.
Why are you a member of the Alumni Association? It allows me to give back. It’s an easy decision for something I am so passionate about.
