From the EditorWith a gift of $6 million bringing a

challenge grant of $3 million and a

match of $3 million, the new $12 million

International Center for Business

(conceptual drawings inside) will soon

be constructed on campus. What a

great way to usher in Lynn University’s

50th anniversary year!

Thanks to an alum, who wishes to

remain anonymous, this gift allows the

university to expand learning, study and

conversational areas for the university’s

largest academic unit, the College of

Business and Management, thereby

providing greater experiential learning

opportunities outside the classroom.

This new center, as well as the other

buildings and facilities shown on pages

4 and 5, addresses the university’s

strategic plan, Lynn 2020: focusing on

our future, that recommends a number

of campus improvements, additions and

enhancements.

As usual, LynnSight’s fall issue includes

a list of Leadership Society donors for

the 2011-12 fiscal year (page 7) and a

list of loyal alumni donors who have

given annual gifts for the past three or

more years in a row (back page).

We welcome our returning students and

incoming freshmen to the fall semester,

and look forward to a year of celebrating

Lynn’s 50th birthday…and of course,

the final presidential debate on Oct. 22.

Her gift of $1 million is made in honorof her late husband, Arnold, who was amuch-loved professor in Lynn’s College ofBusiness and Management. His businessclasses were very popular, and studentsdescribed him as “a great guy…incrediblyknowledgeable.”

An author of more than 100 books ontopics including asset protection andestate planning, “Arny” was a successfullawyer, businessman and lecturer.Teaching was his love and passion.

“Arny always had a vision for a dynamicbusiness school at Lynn,” says Marlene.“He would be so happy to see thedirection the university is taking with thenew International Business Center. Hewould have been so proud to have been a

part of both helping to make it a realityand teaching its students. He alwaysconsidered Lynn to be one big family.”

e Goldsteins have always been avidsupporters of music at Lynn. eAmarnick-Goldstein Concert Hall wasnamed after them and their friends,Aaron and Roslyn Amarnick. eGoldsteins also are donors to theuniversity's Keith C. and Elaine JohnsonWold Performing Arts Center.

e Goldsteins, kind and generouschampions of Lynn, became chartermembers of e Legacy Society byestablishing a planned gift and wereconsistently recognized in e LeadershipSociety of Lynn University for theirannual gifts.

Arnold passed away February 2010.

Lynn experiences exciting,transformational gifts

e transformative gifts described belowhave helped shape the course of LynnUniversity. Donors’ philanthropicinvestments in our campus and programsallow us to “dream big” and provide the best learning environment for our students.

According to Judi Nelson, vice presidentfor development and alumni affairs,“Transformational gifts to Lynn Universityuniquely impact the university and itsfuture. ese gifts reflect donors’ belief inLynn and its mission.”

We are forever grateful for the vision ofthese extraordinary donors:

Elaine Wold provided the lead gift for eKeith C. and Elaine Johnson WoldPerforming Arts Center. Fifty-five othermajor donors joined her to construct andendow this venue, which has attractedthousands since its dedication in 2010. Itwill host the final presidential debate ofthe 2012 election.

anks to donor Bob Sheetz, a new frontentrance now welcomes students, faculty,staff and visitors every day with a safe andbeautiful entry. It announces to our guestsfrom around the world that they havearrived at a place of academic andinternational distinction. Dedication is set for Nov. 1 as part of our Founders Day celebration.

We now look forward to our thirdtransformational gift, which will helpbuild the new International BusinessCenter featured throughout these pages.

While the donor is anonymous, themessage sent is loud and clear: businessmajors make up 50 percent of nearly allour students. ey need the classrooms,business labs and collaborative workingspaces designed to compete in the globalworkplace.

With the merger of the College ofBusiness and Management with theCollege of Hospitality Management, theadditional space is critical.

While such generous gifts make us feelhumble and grateful, we are reminded that

every gift matters. e Leadership Societydonors (at the $2,500 level and above)contribute 95 percent of annual gifts eachyear. And as the university’s alumni moveforward in their careers, we have seen adeveloping pattern of engaged alumni whogive in consecutive years. It is not thedollar amount that has the impact, but thenumber of alumni who give and theimportance of their loyalty.

Every gift of every size indicates supportfor the mission of the university.

THANK YOU! We asked and you gave.It’s not the size of the gift that matters, it’s the number of alumni who give.

Alumni giving rate is the highest yet!

The following loyal alumni have supported the university for three or more consecutive years.

Sam Van Allen ’01, Conn.

“Lynn has taken a dynamic

approach to alumni donations

by setting goals based on the

increasing number of alumni

supporting Lynn instead of the

amount of the donation. It’s a

great way to get people in the

habit of giving back early and

makes every person’s

contribution significant

regardless of the amount.”

Ronnie (Glines) Payne ’01, Pa.

"It is great to know that I can set

up my gift in monthly credit card

installments and not have to worry

about it again. I get so busy, so

this is a way to make sure my

annual gift is in every year."
