Winter 2008
We are very excited to bring you this
edition of Wings, our quarterly
newsletter that will keep you informed
about our campus, students, alumni,
faculty and staff.
There are so many wonderful stories here at Heritage.
Stories of students—like Evelyn Reyes, featured in Bella
Florence—who are forging their futures and achieving
their goals. Stories of our campus—our new Teaching
and Research Complex will give our students the
educational resources and technology to compete in
today’s global economy. And, stories of our faculty and
staff whose dedication and professionalism allow us to
provide the individualized, quality education in which we
pride ourselves.
As a supporter of Heritage, you too have a story. Yours is
the one that allows Heritage to meet the growing needs for
students like Evelyn to complete their education. Thank
you for your commitment to ensuring that educational
opportunities exist in our communities.
We want Wings to inform and inspire you. Please feel free
to share your thoughts and suggestions on the stories you
would like to see in the future.
Heritage University is a non-profit,
private university accredited by the

Bella Florence
Last June, Italy became a classroom for Heritage University senior and art major
Evelyn Reyes. She spent a month studying on-site painting and Italian at the Santa
Reparata International School of Art in Florence as her final study project for the
Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship.
Reyes spent days in Florence’s beautiful piazzas and parks painting landscapes in
various distinctive styles.
“It was very challenging because I never really painted in a style besides my own.
I didn’t know how to do it without losing a piece of myself in my work,” she said.
“It helped me to develop my own voice because it pushed me to learn my strengths
and weaknesses.”

the many canals during her visit
to Venice.
Reyes points to a specific exercise to explain this further. The class was directed
to paint in an impressionistic style. By her own admission, Reyes tends to be very
detail oriented. For this exercise she focused on trying to capture the feeling she
had at that moment over the technical aspects of what she was seeing. Her color
choice was bold—fuchsia with vivid blues and greens. It was the kind of exercise
that helped her grow as an artist.
“It was an amazing experience to be in such an art-driven environment.
Everywhere you went you were surrounded by art,” she said. “It definitely
allowed me to explore who I am.”
Reyes graduates from Heritage University with a Bachelor of Arts degree this
spring.
Catching the Dream
When freshman Leslie Swan enrolled at Heritage in the fall, she became one of the
first students to participate in a new program geared toward improving retention
rates for Native American students.
Called Dreamcatchers, the program provides culturally-relevant support to
Native students during their first year of college. Dreamcatchers students
enroll in a quasi-cohort model; attending required core classes together as a
way to build peer support. They are paired with Native advisors and
participate in social and leadership activities to increase their confidence and
connectivity.
Dreamcatchers students (left to

Onepennee, Chester Strong, Jason
Stauffer, Mario Farias and Charles
Wesley with Dr. Ross during fall
semester.
Twenty four students were part of the initial group who enrolled in the
program. More than half of those students returned to Heritage in the
spring; far exceeding the retention rate between semesters the previous year.
For Swan, there is no question that Dreamcatchers works.
“No,” she laughed when asked if she would have returned to Heritage if she
was not a part of Dreamcatchers. “I think this is one of the things that keeps
me here.”

Hands on learning that is
Mmm, Mmm Good!
Heritage University’s Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team has a solid
history of project successes; from the launching and growth of Mini Trumps,
a school-based program to teach grade school students entrepreneurial
skills, to teaching financial literacy workshops to monolingual adults.
That success has not gone unnoticed by corporate America. Heritage’s
SIFE team was one of only six nationwide selected by Campbell’s Soup for
a project to increase participation in the Campbell’s Labels for Education
Program.
“It is an honor that Campbell’s Soup chose us to participate in this program,
especially since we are such a small school. We
were singled out from other larger, more well
known universities because they recognized the
talent that exists here at Heritage,” said Erika
Romero, SIFE President.
The label project offers a real-life marketing
dilemma. For the past 30 years, Campbell’s
Soup has provided free merchandise to schools
in exchange for their soup labels. But,
participation in the program is declining. SIFE’s
challenge: to design and execute a marketing
campaign to increase local participation in the
program.
SIFE project coordinators Mercedes Martinez
and Maribel Madrigal-Mendez
“This is great hands-on learning experience for
our students,” said Romero.
SIFE students have risen to the challenge with their usual gusto. In the works
is a friendly competition pitting school against school to see who will collect
the most labels. Ultimately, all of the schools will win as the labels collected
translate into educational freebies.
Parents and community members get additional encouragement to collect
those soup labels and show their support for their school through a food
drive to benefit local food banks and a special family event and soup feed
held at the end of the campaign in February.
There is more than bragging rights up for grabs with this project. The top
three teams will receive a cash prize. Heritage’s SIFE team will submit their
marketing plan and evaluation to Campbell’s after their project wraps up in
February. They expect to hear if they were selected as one of the top teams
this summer.

Building for the Future
Big changes are afoot at Heritage University—35,000 square feet of change to
be exact.
Heritage’s new Teaching and Research Complex is the first new facility with
dedicated classrooms in its 25 year history. The facility will increase its overall
physical size by 67% and move its environmental and health sciences programs
out of portables. The complex will house 10 classrooms, the nursing lab,
technology and distance learning services for satellite offices, faculty and staff
offices, student lounge areas and a large public meeting area with the capability
to be divided into three smaller rooms.
“The features incorporated into its
design should improve our teaching and
expand our capability to conduct
scientific research,” said Jim Falco, Dean
of the College of Arts and Sciences.
Students like Melissa Daniels, a nursing major in her first year of the program,
watch the construction progress with a look towards the future.
“It is going to be just fantastic and wonderful,” she said. “It (the new nursing
lab) will be set up more like a hospital. You won’t have to be so imaginative to
picture that you are in a hospital room with a patient.”
The construction project is a direct response to the growth in Heritage’s
programs. The growing demand for medical, science, mathematics, preengineering and business programs were taxing the university’s physical
resources. The portable classrooms, which were designed as temporary
classrooms for elementary schools, were inadequate. There was no room to
expand laboratories and technological resources.
The project is part of a comprehensive plan to meet the needs of a growing
student body and expanding curriculum. Funding the plan is being secured
through The Heritage for the Future campaign—a $25-million effort that will
provide $15 million dollars for the building, $4.5 million to enhance academic
programs and $5.5 million to expand scholarships and financial aid.
Construction on the building began in May of last year. It is expected to be
completed early this summer. Classes will be held in the facility starting in the
fall.

Musical Homage for
Heritage
The Yakima Symphony Orchestra
played an original anthem written by
Joan McCusker, ihm in honor of
Heritage University’s 25th anniversary
during their February performance at
the Capitol Theatre.
Sr. McCusker described the piece as
“intentionally simple, bold and
strongly rhythmical” as a nod to the
University’s founders and those who
continue to support its mission.
“The anthem, in its entirety, attempts
to represent the University’s purity of
purpose, adherence to the highest
educational standards, and
accessibility to various underserved
populations,” said McCusker.

Heritage duo presents at Oxford Round Table
Professors Loren Schmidt
(pictured) and Janet Castilleja’s trip
to Oxford included a quick side
excursion to Stonehenge.
Heritage University Professors Loren
Schmidt and Janet Castilleja were
among a select few educators invited to
participate in the International Oxford
Round Table on Bilingual Education at
Pembroke College in England this past
summer. The two presented their work
on Generation 1.5 to the other
participants from around the world.
Generation 1.5 is a term used to
describe individuals for whom English is
not their primary language and who
never learned to read or write in their
primary language prior to starting
school.
New Associate Dean

Students in the Community
Helping the Homeless
Students Ruby Aguilar, Griscelda
Guzman, Mayrel Guadarrma, Lydia
Degollado, and Angelica Chavez
spent a portion of Martin Luther
King Jr. Day collecting new socks
and blankets for the homeless. They,
along with the other volunteers,
brought in 29 blankets and 323 pairs
of socks along with five hats and 8
pairs of gloves. The donations were
taken to local homeless shelters for
distibution.
Bowling for the Blind
Heritage student Tamara Wanner
spends a few hours each week as a
sighted companion for Bowling with
the Blind, a social program sponsored
by the Yakima Council for the Blind.
She helps the bowlers gather their
equipment, gives them direction on
which pins are standing and
sometimes walks them down the lane
to toss the ball.
Walking for a Cause
Hertitage students were among the
scores of marchers who took to the
streets on Martin Luther King Jr. Day
in January.
Lupe Lemus, Janelle Cardenas,
Marisela Guzman, and Amanda
Garcia marched down Martin Luther
King Jr. Boulevard making their way
to the Yakima Convention Center to
listen to various presenters and school
children’s speeches about Dr. King.
