Allen College is a place of beginnings, a placeof transitions, a place where healthcare careersstart. This spring, commencement exercises forthe class of 2005 mark yet another beginning.As the careers of graduating seniors take off,another career is about to end. For the firsttime since its creation in 1989, Allen Collegewill search for a new leader. Chancellor JaneHasek, Ed.

Hasek joined Allen Hospital in 1980 asvice president of education. She successfullyguided the nursing program through itstransition to Allen College and the addition ofits Bachelor of Science in Nursing degreeprogram. Later, the Master of Science inNursing program and Associate of Science inRadiography program were added. Heradministration coordinated the physicalrelocation of the Allen College campus, theconstruction of Gerard Hall and McBrideAuditorium, the construction of Barrett Forumand the addition of on-campus residentialhousing in Allen Alumni Hall.
“Her outstanding leadership at the collegewill be missed,” said Mark Baldwin, AllenCollege Board president. “Her contributions tothe college and the nursing profession havebeen very significant.”
Hasek is a member of the IowaAssociation of Colleges of Nursing and theIowa Work Force Nursing Task Force, a pastpresident of the Iowa League for Nursing, the1983 Iowa Nurses Association District 4 Nurseof the Year and the 1997 INA Teresa ChristyAward winner. In 2004, she was appointed bythe governor of Iowa to the NursingExaminers Board, adding to her priorappointment to the Iowa State Board ofHealth.
Hasek said she will miss daily interactionwith students, faculty and staff, as well ascontact with alumni and friends of the college.“It has truly been a pleasure to help educateand prepare so many students for meaningfulcareers in healthcare,” Hasek said. “It takes anentire team to make a difference in the lives ofour students, and I’ve been blessed with anexcellent team.”
Hasek’s retirement marks the end of a 45-year career in the nursing profession. Hercareer began in the hospitals of rural Nebraska.She then moved to Iowa and to the GrundyCounty Memorial Hospital in Grundy Center.Later, at St. Francis Hospital in Waterloo, shecoordinated the cardiac rehabilitation programand supervised the special care units. AtHawkeye Institute of Technology, she educatedemergency room nurses, emergency medicaltechnicians and later, coordinated the adulthealth occupation programs. In 1980, she madethe move to Allen Hospital.
Hasek joins the Allen College class of2005 as they look forward to a new beginningwith excitement. She and her husband, Wayne,plan to spend time with their grandchildren,grown children and visit friends as they travelthe country in their motor home.

Labor of
_ÉäxMemory of Allen Head Nurse’s Passion for Quilts Inspires Super SewWhen the late Marcella (Marcie) Knudsonretired from Allen Hospital as the head nurseof surgery, she looked forward to learning toquilt. She had always sewn but had neverquilted. She was encouraged to joinKeepsake Quilters, a local quiltingorganization in the Cedar Valley, and Quiltsto Share, a part of Keepsake Quilters. Asmall patchwork of Marcella is now foreverstitched into the quilts she helped make forothers.
Quilts to Share is part of KeepsakeQuilters, a local quilting club in the CedarValley. It is the public service part of thequilt guild that makes quilts for hospicepatients of the Cedar Valley, the Cedar ValleyHospice Home and seriously ill youngpeople in the area. Quilts to Share also givesquilts to several not-for-profit special interestgroups for fundraising events. Recently, theyhave donated 20 quilts to one of the armyhospitals for seriously wounded soldiers whobattled in Iraq. This is a new venture. Inthe past, they have donated to neonatalintensive care units, battered women’sshelters and high-risk prenatal clinics.
Marcie’s daughter, Karan Flanscha, said,
“When Mom started quilting, after she hadmade several projects, she felt she had all thequilts she needed for her home. JoiningQuilts to Share was a way to keep stitchingand share what she made. She enjoyedsewing and the camaraderie with the group.”
After Marcie’s death last year, Karan, herbrother Keith Knudson and their familiesstarted the Marcie Knudson MemorialScholarship at Allen College in her memory.Many of Marcie's quilting friends and formerco-workers contributed to the fund. One ofthe members of Quilts to Share found aunique way to contribute.
“Cathy Busch, one of the co-chairs ofQuilts to Share, had come up with the idea ofan event called the Super Sew,” said Karan.“She set it up like a Super Bowl, with afootball theme. They have pre-season prep,teams, referees, playbooks and terminologyfrom football. They competed to see whichteam could make the most quilt tops. It wasquite successful. They gave away lots ofquilt tops for the group.”
Quilts to Share continues to run the SuperSew event, to keep making the much-neededquilts.
The quilts are really labors of love and acomfort to those in need.
“That was the best part for Mom—knowing her quilts benefited someone else,”said Karan. “My mother did it partly for thefellowship and working on quilting andbecause she enjoyed being able to donatethem. She liked to be able to give someonecomfort in difficult times.”
If you would like to get involved withQuilts to Share through time or donations,please call Donna Hansen at 266-8473 formore information.
“You don’t necessarily have to be aquilter. I know they are always looking fordonations or quilting materials. And they areinterested in people to help,” said Karan.
“That was the best part for Mom—knowing her quilts benefited someone else.”
Marcie Knudson stands proudlywith her Dear Jane quilt, just one of many made during hertime spent with Quilts to Share.

This summer Allen College students are goingon a tour of a lifetime. And not in someremote country or faraway place, but righthere in Iowa.
Assistant professor of nursing AnnaWeepie, associate professor Mary Brown andLinda Miller, director of Global Health at theUniversity of Northern Iowa, are teaching anew collaborative course this summer calledCommunity Health Field Experience: Care ofVulnerable Populations. They plan to take the students and several mini vans filled withhealth education teaching materials to visitwith Iowans who may not have adequateinformation about health education.
“What we envisioned the course as,” saidAnna, “is a big health fair, with presentations,simple screenings and booths. We will set up
tables and use a variety of methods to dohealth teachings. We may do one-on-oneinstruction or group teachings, depending onthe situation.”
The class, which is full with 16 AllenCollege students and six UNI students, is aninnovative idea for the nursing students.“They are used to structure,” said Anna. “Weare glad that we have a lot of flexibility withthis course. They were kind of like, ‘Wow.’”
They hope to visit such sites as Denison,where there is a large Hispanic population, theAmish communities in Fairbank and theCedar Rapids Free Health Clinic. Also on thelist are the Meskwaki Settlement,Marshalltown and Nevada.
“We are meeting a need for people whomight not see a physician on a regular basis,”
Anna said. “And the students will realizethere are vulnerable populations in Iowa andthe need for health teachings close by. Youdon’t have to travel very far to find peoplewho don’t have access to healthcare.”
The students will have a chance to getout of the classroom and gain hands-oninteraction with vulnerable Iowans: people inrural areas, children with no access toinsurance, older Iowans, low income families,immigrants, refugees and other minorities.
Anna said, “I hope the students will saythat the best part about this course is thevariety, visiting the larger cities and the ruralareas. There are lots of different populations,and they will get to see how it is different foreveryone. They may not have otherwiserealized these people were out there.”

“Campus living facilities like Allen AlumniHall give students a deeper connection to theircollege,” said Jim Waterbury, VP forInstitutional Advancement at Allen HealthSystem.
The Alumni Hall at Allen College nowoffers students residential life, an experiencethat had been missing before. It is the first offour living quarters in the long-range plan forresidential housing at Allen College.
The building was well-designed andoriginally built for seniors needing safe, securehousing. Now, a new generation of studentresidents can use the building to call home.
“I think the new housing has played apositive impact on my adjustment to a newschool and a new city,” said student BethGroteluschen. “The housing really provides allthe accommodations I would need or think ofhaving at a very reasonable price.”
Students see many benefits in the newhousing. “I love the fact that the school is inwalking distance which saves on gas and carmileage,” said Groteluschen. “I also love that Iam sharing the house with other nursingstudents who are going through the sameclasses, stresses and experiences as I am.”
Renovation of Alumni Hall has a price tagof $150,000 and achieving the goal to raiseenough money for the new housing is beingmade possible with the contributions fromsources such as Allen Health System, the AllenAlumni Board and alumni. Many generousprivate donors have also contributed. “Weappreciate the help from so many people,”Waterbury said.
“Helping students with scholarships andgrants is a lot like planting trees—they both
take time to grow,” said Waterbury. With$90,000 raised so far on the project, they stillneed $60,000 to reach their goal. However,Waterbury is still anticipating reaching the$150,000 goal this year.
“I am very appreciative of the fundraisingefforts that took place because now I am ableto live in a safe, comfortable housing facilitywith all the accommodations I need,” saidGroteluschen.
After they have completed the funding,the next step is to build three similar unitsadjacent to Alumni Hall in order to house 96 students.
“It’s a great start to bringing all of ourstudents back to campus for their AllenCollege undergraduate years,” says Waterbury.
With your help, Allen College can makeits housing goal. If you would like to givefinancial support or want a tour, please contactAllen College at (319) 226-2011 or MattRolinger of the Allen Foundation at (319) 274-6712. The Allen College studentsthank you for the opportunity to makeresidential living part of their experience.
Alumni Hall Drive Still On Target
Students See Their Futures at Clinical SitesClinical sites are giving Allen Collegeradiography students more than just a view ofa patient’s body. They’re also giving studentsa snapshot of the future.
“Some students want to be in a fast-paced hospital,” said Lisa Mehlert, leadradiographer at Northeast Iowa FamilyPractice Center in Waterloo. “Others preferthe pace of a clinic. Clinical experiences helpstudents find out which setting is right forthem.”
Allen College’s radiography programoffers students experiences at 11 clinical sites,from orthopedic settings to clinics tohospitals.
The differences between the sites can bedramatic. And the clinical experiences helpstudents see the differences for themselves.
“Working at a clinic is much differentthan a hospital,” said Mehlert, an AllenCollege graduate. “You do everythingyourself, from bringing the patient into theexam room to running the film.”
Students visiting Northeast Iowa FamilyPractice Center see firsthand its
radiographers’ routines, the clinic’s computersystems, where doctors see patients and whatX-rays the doctors order.
First students observe radiographictechnicians to learn how the X-ray machineswork. Then when they feel comfortable,they’re given the opportunity to take an X-ray.
According to Sue Robinson, Allen ASRClinical Coordinator, the wide range ofclinical experiences available makes AllenCollege’s clinical program unique.
“Visiting different-sized sites helps themwhen they get a job because they know morethan one way to do something,” she said.
It also gives them an advantage in theircareers.
“It gives students the opportunity to taketheir knowledge from the classroom and put itinto practice in the clinical setting,” saidRobinson.
However, the program benefits more thanjust the radiography students.
“It gives the sites the opportunity to seestudents in action and later go, ‘Yeah, I wantto hire that student,’” said Robinson.

Walking Tall Leadership Project Finds SuccessSusie Meyer, a graduate of Allen College in May 2002, works forCommunity Memorial Hospital in Sumner as the manager of theCardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Department. She is alsoinvolved with the Leadership Project through Allen College. One ofher recent endeavors was a fundraiser to remodel a children’s room inpediatrics.
“When I took over the department two years ago, we had just beengiven a newly remodeled room in the basement that only had the bareessentials,” said Susie. “Patient census was very low at that time, andit was difficult to justify spending money on extra equipment andeducational materials. I wanted more for my patients and decided toachieve this through a fundraiser.”
After the department set course to raise money, a generousdonation came from a patient in the cardiac rehab program. Thepatient had purchased an arm ergometer, wall weights and also gave a cash donation for miscellaneous items. The department no longerneeded the money, but since Susie participated in the LeadershipProject, they continued on with a walk-a-thon project. They decided
to hold a 5K run/walk because of the minimal expense. “We had 15 walkers for the 5K Run/Walk-A-Thon and some who
just donated for the cause,” said Susie. “Free American Heart t-shirtswere given away to all the walkers. And at the completion of thewalk, blood pressures and pulses were monitored. Gatorade, water andmuffins were available to the participants. The total amount raised was$575 for the day, not too bad for our first try. We are hoping to makethis an annual event now that the groundwork has been completed.”
Susie had successfully organized a fundraising event and hadachieved more than just raising money for the children’s hospitalroom.
“I received great satisfaction from this leadership project knowingthat it was accomplished because I took the initiative to oversee aproject through to completion,” said Susie. “The rewards are foundpurely in my own sense of personal accomplishment and sense ofpride. I was able to channel my energy into something productive andworthwhile. I enjoy meeting a challenge head-on, and this project wasvery rewarding.”
The rewards are found purely in myown sense of personal accomplishmentand sense of pride.

Make a Gift That LastsWhat is a Charitable Remainder Trust? A Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) is a trustarrangement which provides that an annualpayout will be made to the donor for theirlifetime or for a term of years (1 to 20 years).Once the trust ends, then one or more charitieschosen by the donor will receive the assets heldin the trust.
How much will the CRT annual payout be?The annual payout is selected by the donor atthe time the trust is created. Federal lawdictates that the minimum percentage selectedmust be at least five percent. The maximumallowable percentage depends on the donor’sage or the term of the trust.
Do Charitable Remainder Trusts provide tax advantages? Yes. With a CRT, there is a charitable deductionfor the donor. This deduction is based upon thevalue of the remainder interest, which passes tocharity. The value of the charitable deduction iscomputed based upon guidelines in the IRS taxcode. If the CRT is created during the donor’slifetime, the charitable deduction can be used bythe donor as a deduction against the donor’staxable income. Also, in the instance in whichthe donor is the lifetime beneficiary, when theCRT ends and the trust assets pass to charity,there are no death taxes due on the assets in theCRT.
When should I use a CharitableRemainder Trust? By giving an appreciated asset to a CRT, suchas appreciated stock or real estate, the donorwill receive a payout based on the full value ofthe property placed in the CRT. This is withoutany reduction for taxes that otherwise wouldhave been paid if the property was sold by thedonor and the net after-tax proceeds wereinvested.
Creating a Charitable Remainder Trust by WillAn alternative to establishing a CRT during thedonor’s life is to provide an income interest forchildren or grandchildren after the donor’s death
through the use of a CRT. A CRT created atdeath is called a “testamentary charitableremainder trust.” Upon the donor’s death, his or her estate receives an estate tax charitablededuction for a portion of the trust’s remainingassets and the remainder beneficiary or charityreceives a donation, which is available at somefuture date.
If you would like a free confidential reviewof your current estate plan, please call MattRolinger, Director of Allen Foundation, at (319) 274-6712. *Please consult a professional advisor when considering any type of planned gift.
