Coppin State University Summer 2013 | Issue No. 3 ADVANCEMENT NEWS Coppin State University Exceeds Fundraising Goal C oppin State University set an all-time yearly giving record during the 2012-2013 year by raising $2,310,727. The results surpassed the 2011-2012 total of $1,644,122. “We are very appreciative of the support we received from all our donors,” stated Foundation Board Chairman Reginald Exum. “Our focus now is to do even better in 2013-2014. CSU students will benefit from the generosity of so many loyal Coppin supporters.” Alumni giving also increased as 7.5 percent of alumni made gifts during the fiscal year compared to 6.5 percent in 2011-2012. “We have established a goal of 10 percent Alumni Participation in 2013-2014,” states Doug Dalzell, vice president of Institutional Advancement. “Our ultimate goal is to lead all public HBCU’s in alumni participation rates. It will take three to five years to get there but I’m confident that with increased outreach programs it will happen.” Individual giving focused on scholarships while grants and gifts from corporations and foundations supported new and ongoing initiatives of the University. A significant portion of gifts received goes to support student enrichment programs and scholarships. “I hope to enter Medical School and attain a career in Global Health,” states Nomazwe Ncube, a junior biology major. “A career in biomedical research also still remains a second option. For the summer, I will be interning in Zimbabwe alongside a Johns Hopkins professor aiding her in her research concerning sanitation and its effect on child growth rates, with a special emphasis on related diseases such as cholera.” Coppin relies heavily on support it receives from alumni and friends. There’s Strength in Numbers Giving back strengthens the value of your Coppin degree and shows your confidence in the future of your alma mater.

ADVANCEMENT NEWS | SUMMER 2013 Constellation Energy Grant Funds Innovative Research Project C onstellation Energy announced the award of $50,000 to Coppin State University to fund a cooperative program between the University and Bluford Drew Jemison STEM Academy to research new energy technologies. The grant is part of Constellation’s 2012 E2 Energy to Educate program that provides funding for innovative student and community research projects. According to Kenneth Cornew, Constellation Energy president and CEO, “We are proud to sponsor research and education programs that will help prepare a new generation for the energy opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. This year’s grant winners highlight the innovation, new ideas and creative approaches that will be essential as we continue to drive toward a sustainable energy future.” Students from both institutions will do research on nanocrystalline solar cells, silicon solar cells, multijunction solar cells, and nanotechnology. Students will explore how these technologies are developed and applied and what makes them succeed while others fail. Researchers and engineers in the solar technology industry will mentor students as they design projects and explore career opportunities in solar technology. “We are excited for our students and those of Bluford Drew Jemison,” said Dr. Jamal Uddin, assistant professor of Natural Sciences at CSU. “On behalf of both institutions I would like to thank Constellation Energy for this investment in the futures of our students.” Dr. Uddin will serve as the principal investigator for the project. He was also the 2012 winner of the University System of Maryland Elkins Professorship.

LLC is an academic learning and community living program for first-year pre-nursing students. “We are excited about Citi Foundation’s continued support of Coppin State University,” states Al Essien, assistant vice president for philanthropy. “These two programs have shown they can positively affect CSU retention and graduation rates. Working with students in their freshman year increases their chances for future success.” ADVANCEMENT NEWS | SUMMER 2013 Both programs provide first-year students with academic development, personal growth, social and cultural enrichment, study strategies, academic planning, financial aid coaching, financial literacy and career development. “Citi understands the importance of empowering students with the support and resources they need to complete post-secondary education,” said Reginald Exum, vice president for Community Development at Citi. “With funding from the Citi Foundation, these programs will not only ensure that students persist during the crucial period between their first and second years of enrollment, but that they are also equipped with the financial capability and know-how to aid them in the years beyond college.” This is the fifth sizeable grant that Coppin State University has received from Citi Foundation.

ADVANCEMENT NEWS | SUMMER 2013 COPPIN STATE UNIVERSITY 7 Non-Profit Org. U.S. Postage PAID Baltimore, MD Permit No. 5049 Foundation Merit Scholarship Fund Has New Donor D r. Clayton McNeill and his wife, Pamela are lifetime members of Coppin’s Alumni Association. Dr. McNeill, class of ‘69, and Pamela, class of ‘70 were both education majors. Dr. McNeill served as vice president of student life and executive vice president of administration and finance at Coppin State University. During this time, he established two endowment scholarships—one scholarship is named for him and his wife, and the other is named for his mother and father. In 2013, Dr. McNeill and his wife once again demonstrated their commitment to Coppin by giving back to their Alma Mater. They committed $25,000 towards a Merit Scholarship endowment. This gift will be matched by the CSU Development Foundation, thereby establishing a fully funded $50,000 Merit Scholarship for high achieving incoming freshmen. It is safe to say that Dr. McNeill will always have a special place in his heart for Coppin. Since his retirement in 2006, he still visits the campus, and he serves on various committees for the alumni. Dr. McNeill attends many of the women’s and men’s basketball games. Dr. McNeill was one of the first inductees into the CSU Athletic Hall of Fame. “I love Coppin and I believe in its mission. I want to help Coppin continue to graduate talented young people who are prepared to make a positive difference in this world,” said Dr. McNeill. Dr. McNeill is the fourth donor to establish a Foundation Merit Scholarship since the program’s inception last October.
