GGU has launched two strategic initiatives
designed to significantly evolve its already comprehensive online capabilities. The first initiative,
GGU 2.0, is centered around a next-generation
website strategy, a website redesign and an
expanded online content-production capability,
all with the goal of providing a new and improved
online experience for GGU students, faculty,
staff, alumni and others. This project will be
delivering new website functionality in the second
half of this year.
A key focus of the new strategy is to facilitate
new student enrollment and the retention of current students. Website functionality, such as a
student portal, and Web 2.0 participatory Web
functionality, such as social networking, are all
part of the planning discussion.
GGU is also articulating a strategic five-year
road map for online technology initiatives and
opportunities. The outcomes of these two related
initiatives will result in a new GGU website, as well
as a road map for GGU’s next-generation online
education experience, classroom experience and
Web-technology strategy. —Anthony Hill

Launching GGU 2.0
Kenneth B. Weeman Jr. (MBA 90) and Hon. Lee Baxter (JD 74),
both members of GGU’s board of trustees, were awarded honorary degrees in May.
Weeman received an honorary doctor of humane letters
(LHD) at GGU’s San Francisco commencement ceremony. The
retired vice chair of Dresdner RCM Global Investors, Weeman
serves as vice chair of the GGU board of trustees, as well as chair
of The Centennial Campaign for GGU.
Baxter, a retired California Supreme Court judge, is currently
serving her second stint on the board of trustees, having also
served from 1995–2004. Additionally, she has served on the
alumni council, chaired the law-school dean’s advisory board and
endowed the Judge Lee D. Baxter Fellowship in Trial Advocacy.
Baxter was awarded an honorary doctor of laws (LLD) at the 2008
law-school commencement, at which she was the speaker.

G
olden Gate University and ELS
Language Centers, a division of Berlitz
International Inc., agreed to house ELS’ San
Francisco center in GGU’s downtown San
Francisco campus beginning in April 2008.
ELS provides English-language instruction to students who are preparing for careers
and/or academic study in English-speaking
environments. ELS also administers the Test
of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
for students seeking to attend an American
college or university. ELS language centers are
located on more than 35 campuses nation-
wide and marketed to potential students
worldwide. More than 550 colleges and universities accept graduation from the ELS
intensive program in lieu of a TOEFL score.
“Through the agreement to have ELS relocate its San Francisco offices to GGU, the
university will benefit from hundreds of international students taking English-language
classes here. These students will be introduced
to US higher education through their presence
at GGU, and many of them may choose to
matriculate at GGU,” says Bob Hite, GGU’s
vice president of business affairs and CFO.
It’s a Sign
Nearly 150 alumni, students and guests
gathered at the 40 Jessie St. building for a
book signing by former GGU first lady
Velia Butz.
A Voyage of Discovery, the third volume of
the history of Golden Gate University,
was begun by former GGU President
Otto Butz and completed by his wife following his death. It covers the years during
which Butz was president of the university, 1970–1992.
Guests gathered at 40 Jessie St. to
honor the Butzes and celebrate the release
of the much-anticipated book. A Voyage
of Discovery is available through the GGU
bookstore at its new location at 40 Jessie St.
Law School Grad Enrollments Rise
Spring semester enrollments in the School of Law’s graduate programs showed a substantial
increase over last year’s numbers. In addition to the JD (doctor of jurisprudence) degree, the
Law School offers LLM degrees in environmental law, intellectual property, international legal
studies, taxation and US legal studies. The combined unit count for these five LLM programs
rose from 622 in the spring 2007 semester to 850 units for the current semester — an increase
of about 37 percent.
Professor and Associate Dean Jon Sylvester, who oversees the graduate programs, attributes the
success to the work of the graduate-programs staff. “We have a very small but extremely hard-working staff,” Sylvester says, “and Jonathan Chu, as the leader of that unit, has brought excellent vision
and incredible energy to the marketing of our programs and the recruitment of graduate students.”

Wong has an aversion to chilly climates. The
Hawaii native and WWII veteran, who served
in the South Pacific, originally had planned
to attend the University of Pennsylvania. He
quickly decided the cold weather wasn’t for
him. It just took a look at GGU’s offerings to
convince Wong that San Francisco was the
place for him.

had an accelerated program in accounting and
business,” Wong says. “I liked that the professors were hands-on and educated their students
not only theoretically, but also practically.”

Wong has also served as a trustee of GGU,
an indication of his passion for education.
Wong’s choice to donate to The Centennial
Campaign for GGU was a natural extension of

his belief in education — and his belief in
GGU’s contribution to local businesses. “In
the Bay Area, GGU has been a pillar for the
business community,” Wong says. “With The
Centennial Campaign, they can take their basic
fundamentals of benefiting and serving the comLHD 98) munity to the next level.”
His decision to donate to the campaign —
and to have his name permanently included
on The Centennial Wall — has personal
importance for Wong, as well. “I can attribute my success to my education at GGU,” he
says. “I really believe GGU has played an
important part in my career. If I hadn’t been
urged to take the CPA exam, I wouldn’t be
here today.”

“I don’t think any of us spends enough time looking at ourselves
and our own values … and this class really helps assess where students
are academically, so we (GGU professors and advisers) can lay out
very individualized paths for folks,” Hoppes says.
Critical to the success of GGU’s undergraduate programs is the
idea that, as the needs of adult students changes over time, so should

“We have to make sure we don’t get too comfortable with
traditional formats such as term length if we hope to serve the nontraditional, adult student,” Hoppes says.
Schools of Accounting and Taxation
Active professional advisory boards are a major way both the School
of Accounting and the School of Taxation stay ahead of the trends in
their respective industries. And while the advisory board for the
School of Taxation has existed for years, the board for the School of
Accounting — composed of partners and managers from wellrespected accounting firms — was formed 18 months ago when the
school opened, according to Dean Mary Canning (JD 81, LLM 82).
“The advisory-board members are constantly telling us what students should be exposed to in the field, the depth of their knowledge,”
Canning says. The boards’ valuable advice does not go unheeded.
“We heard … a major concern with the accounting industry that
reform is needed at the educational level, that we could no longer have
accountants who are just bean counters. They must know the industry for which they work, they must understand global implications
and have more knowledge of finance and insurance,” she says.
In response, GGU revised its curriculum, adding three new courses
to its accounting master’s program that expose students to the specific
knowledge and skill sets needed for a global economy. In so doing, the
School of Accounting is at the national forefront of much-needed
accounting-education reform.
The School of Taxation is also responding to market needs,
adding more courses requiring students to hone both written and
verbal skills. “Communication is essential,” Canning says. “Students
have to communicate clearly with professionals and clients, so we’re
expanding the emphasis on communication skills in the current
research courses.”
Additionally, the school offers a voluntary Compliance Workshop
meant to familiarize students with the forms and lingo necessary to
excel at tax preparation, and both schools host an Expert Lecture
Series, bringing in industry experts to discuss relevant and topical subjects throughout the year.
14
“We are continuously monitoring what industry wants and needs
from our students. It is imperative that GGU students graduate
with the practical skills required to succeed right away in their
careers,” Canning says.
Edward S. Ageno School of Business
“We’ve undertaken serious market reviews in terms of employment
and building careers, and seen … the importance of being able to
move expeditiously to an MBA degree, and to do so while continuing
to work,” says Ageno School of Business Dean Terry Connelly, who
thinks GGU’s market niche is exemplified by the Professional MBA
(PMBA) program, begun in San Francisco this past spring with a full
cohort of 22 students.
The PMBA is geared to people with three to five years of management experience who are at a midpoint in their careers. The program
is 16 months long, and nearly half the course work is completed
online, so there’s less strain on the working professional.
“We think [the PMBA] appeals to today’s aspiring manager who
doesn’t want to interrupt work flow to go back to school,” Connelly
says. While the new MBA does not require applicants to take the
GMAT, candidates are evaluated on their resumes and the type of
work experience they bring to the table. The university plans to
expand the PMBA program to San Jose in the fall, Connelly says.
GGU’s market research also indicates that managerial support for
hospitals is one of the fastest growing areas of employment in the Bay
Area. In response, Connelly says, GGU will offer an MBA with a concentration in health-services management (HSM) beginning this fall.
“When we took a survey of current MBA students, many said they
would have signed up for that [MBA] had we offered it in the first
place,” Connelly says. “We believe that [the PMBA and the MBA with
an HSM concentration] are worth a great deal to us in terms of
enhanced enrollment.”
CyberCampus
“How do we react so quickly to market innovations? The adjuncts give
us the edge. That’s our thing — bringing real-world experience into
the classroom — and we think we do that much better than most,”
says CyberCampus Dean Marvin Weinbaum, who adds that digital
teams — or groups of people who interact primarily through the
Internet — are among the hottest trends happening in the workplace,
as well as in GGU classrooms.
“It’s not a philosophical assumption; it’s an observation. People
are finding themselves working in teams to move toward corporate

objectives, but those teams are not always geographically bound
together. It doesn’t mean [the group] is not under the same stress of
deliverables. And, well-managed, this working scenario can be very
productive,” he says.
In one of Weinbaum’s organizational-behavior classes,
students are assigned to work in digital teams.
The teams gather data via a questionnaire they develop themselves and
report the results in an online
forum the entire class can
access. Weinbaum says the
successful project allows

multimedia opportunities in the classroom,
according to Weinbaum, who points out
that digital learning also
memorializes educational materials — such as online forums,
lectures and student feedback — for
years to come.
“Multimedia components in the digital
classroom resonate with the current crop of learners.
They can download an MP3 audio file of a lecture or watch a video
of their professor,” he says. “That is what they think education
looks like now.”
For example, to help GGU law students study for the bar exam,
the university hired mentors to work with them. GGU recorded the
sessions and makes them available on the Web for its students.
“The opportunity doesn’t lie so much in the technology as in the
utility of the technology,” Weinbaum says. “How can we bring the
technology effectively into people’s lives?”
The answer may be a blended-learning technique, effectively mixing online and in-person education. “The challenge is to do it well, to
reserve the best things about learning in person for the in-person part
and the best about learning online in the online class segment,” he says.
School of Law
”
Moving law students out of classrooms and into real-world law
offices before the end of a student’s third semester is critical to Fred
White, outgoing dean of the School of Law.
“American legal education has been criticized for molding students to be Supreme Court judges, but
not readying them for the everyday practice of law,” White says.
To meet the market need, the
School of Law is expanding
the Honors Lawyering
Program (HLP), an initiative that pairs firstyear law students with
law firms. White says
the HLP gives students an insider’s
look at what they’re
getting into, and
helps motivate them
to do better on the bar
exam, as well.
Additionally, the
School of Law regularly
organizes roundtable discussions with alumni who practice
law in various fields and can talk
candidly about their professional experience and advise current students about how to
make the most of law school.
“We have very loyal alumni, and because we’re in the Financial
District, it’s easy for lawyers to just walk over from their offices. We
vary our guests. Sometimes we have corporate lawyers, sometimes we
invite public defenders,” White says. “It gives our students a look at
what a real lawyer looks like.”
While forecasting market trends may be an inexact science —
something akin to interpreting cloud formations or noting when
birds start to fly south — staying nimble and being able to react
quickly in a stormy market is the key to delivering an education that
both fulfills students and meets the needs of the marketplace. GGU
is using educational innovations to meet the challenges of today —
and tomorrow — head-on. ggu

Business
as a
Second
Language
The multilingual success
of GGU’s health-care execs
by Melissa Stein
D
uring the past few decades, there’s
been a sea change in American
health care. With the rise of managed care in
the 1980s in response to escalating healthcare costs, a system that once operated on
nonprofit principles has increasingly adopted
corporate values. From cost-cutting to competition, from streamlining to state-of-theart technology and information systems,
health care has become Big Business.
In the United States, which spends more
on health care each year than any other country, more than half the population is enrolled
in HMOs and PPOs, and more than 90 percent of Americans receiving employersponsored insurance are enrolled in plans with
some form of managed care. While managed
care indeed offers the opportunity to reduce
patient costs and provide more efficient treatment, the challenge is to stay focused on the
mission: providing the best health care possible. To accomplish this, it is essential that the
doctors and nurses who treat patients every
16
day are able to communicate with adminstrators and insurance companies to influence
decisions and policies. As health care grows
more and more corporate, this often means
learning to “speak business.”
We spoke with three alumni whose GGU
business degrees have helped them stay at the
forefront of successful health-care delivery.
Thomas Brady (MBA 02)
Thomas Brady was just a teenager when he
made his first money in the stock market. A
school outing to a brokerage company in San
Francisco piqued his interest, leading to a
summer job in the company’s mailroom and
also to some low-stakes dabbling in stocks:
“Ten dollars here, $10 there — after all, I
was just a kid,” he laughs. Within a year,
Brady had doubled his investment, and he
repeated his success with several hundred
dollars of family money not long after.
“I really liked the cleanness of business,”
he says. “If you do a good service and have a
[ summer 2008 ]
good product, you’ll be rewarded with profit,
and if you don’t, you won’t.”
Brady attended the University of California, Berkeley, with a business degree in
mind. But from a young age, he’d had a gift
for dealing with the severe mental illness of
one of his brothers, and this experience
steered him instead toward psychology and
medical school. “There’s this concept in the
mental-health world called ‘the wounded
healer.’ … Why would anyone go into this
line of work that’s emotionally and mentally
challenging, dealing with mental illness and
substance-abuse disorders? They must have
some personal investment in doing it, such as
trying to save the next family from what they
had to go through with their own.”
Brady received his BA in psychology in
1974 and then attended the University of
Alabama, earning a BS in biology in 1978
and an MD in 1982. During the following
two decades, he held several consulting psychiatrist posts and served as medical director
for five different treatment programs, ranging
from a mental-health after-school program
for elementary-school-age children to the
adolescent inpatient mental-health unit at the
McAuley Neuropsychiatric Institute at St.
Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco. He
launched a private practice in adult psychiatry
in 1986, and in child and adolescent psychiatry the following year — a practice he would
continue for the next 18 years.
Though he loved his work, he felt a bit
restless. “I got a little bored and lonely with
private practice alone,” Brady admits. “I really
enjoyed being part of a team.”
In 1997, while he was serving as chair of
the Department of Psychiatry at St. Mary’s
Medical Center, a colleague told him about a
regional medical-director position at MHN
Inc., the behavioral division of Health Net,
one the nation’s largest publicly traded managed health-care companies. Brady joined
MHN 10 hours a week, which grew during
the next five years to 40 hours a week — and
responsibility for half the 10 million lives
nationwide the company oversaw — in addition to the 10 hours a week he maintained in
his private practice.
Within a couple years of joining MHN,
“I decided to go back to one of my first passions: the business world,” Brady says. “I had
always wanted to get a business degree, and I
wasn’t getting any younger. I figured I’d better
do it before I turned 50, frankly, or maybe I’d
be too tired.”
Brady chose GGU, earning his degree in
2002. “I jokingly say that I did my Executive
MBA program through sleep deprivation.”
Though he calls his packed schedule at the
time “daunting,” he found that the degree
was just what the doctor ordered.
“I always say I’m not a businessman, but I
speak a second language — the language of
business. My first language is clinical, as a
physician,” Brady says. “It’s been my experience
that physicians have been divorced from the
business aspects of health care for some time,
[ ggu ]
and that’s a mistake. … [In my experience] the
managed-care physicians had important things
to say but they couldn’t speak business. They
couldn’t read a balance sheet, they couldn’t
understand things like cost/benefit ratios and
return on investment, so they were not included in those discussions. And the product —
that is, insurance benefits for patients — was
often negatively affected.”
Within a year of obtaining his MBA,
Brady found himself “getting a little itchy for
a change in my career. What I wanted to do
was be a leader in a health-care company.”
In 2004, he gave up his private practice
and joined CRC Health Group in Cupertino,
Calif., in his current position as vice president and chief medical officer. CRC is the
nation’s largest provider of drug and alcohol
treatment services, serving more than 50,000
people each year. One of the company’s innovations is eGetgoing, a real-time, online,
behavioral group-therapy treatment program.
“[CRC] is a rather unique company in that
17
it’s a Silicon Valley health-care company with
a Silicon Valley culture — meaning it’s an
entrepreneurial venture-capital growth company,” says Brady, adding that CRC grows by
about 10 percent a year, and in some years
has grown as much as 30 percent.
Brady speaks enthusiastically about the
untapped market in diagnosable substanceabuse problems that would benefit from
treatment, explaining, “All you need to do is
offer the best possible health care — the best
possible product — at the best possible price
and do the best possible marketing. It’s good
business and good health care — that’s what
intrigues me the most about it. Our CEO has
a motto: ‘If you do good, you’ll do well.’”
Rosemary Fox (MBA 85)
Rosemary Fox has always been a bit ahead of
her time. Even before attending college, “I
was already saying, ‘What do I need to do to
be positioned in the forefront, not just a follower?’” Because her mother was often ill and
18
in the hospital, Fox wanted to be a nurse
from a very young age. “I wanted to help others like they helped her,” Fox says. But she
didn’t see herself going down the traditional
nursing path, and she decided to enter a fouryear undergraduate program. At that time,
she says, “Nobody did that — you went to
three-year nursing school. But I knew that the
four-year program would prepare me to be a
leader, not just a staff nurse.”
After earning her bachelor of nursing science degree from the University of San
Francisco in 1972, Fox worked as a publichealth nurse in Fort Defiance, Ariz., a Navajo
Indian reservation. Next, she was a commissioned officer for the US Public Health
Service, which ran a hospital in San Francisco
for merchant marines and military personnel.
She began as a nurse in medical surgery and
then moved into the outpatient department,
eventually supervising the department and
emergency room. When the hospital closed
in 1981, Fox became head nurse in the emer[ summer 2008 ]
gency room at Pacific Presbyterian Hospital
(later California Pacific Medical Center).
“I had a vision of where health care was
going in the future. I was pretty clear that the
service model was going to be influenced by the
business model, and I believed that there needed to be some acknowledgment from the clinical side,” Fox says. “We also needed to protect
some of the values that are critical to the delivery of a good health-care product. … The
biggest contribution I could make in health
care was to be where the decisions were made.”
To do that, she needed the business tools.
“Doctors and nurses are usually thinking
about the right thing to do for the patient,
not, ‘Can we afford it, is it a reasonable investment, is it something that positions us strategically to be stronger than our partners?’” Fox
explains. “So we often find ourselves very
frustrated and discouraged because we can’t
get what we feel should be a slam-dunk. You
have to have an understanding of where the
providers are coming from in relationship to
the patient, and where the business folks are
coming from. It’s understanding the goals and
objectives of the financial drivers, then being
able to translate it from a clinical setting to a
business setting.” The key to success, Fox says,
is balance. “By building systems and knowing
the financial blend, you’re able to assist the
company in excelling — providing excellent
care and remaining solvent.”
The specialized health-service MBA program at GGU was perfect for Fox. “I was a
young professional who wanted to advance my
career but needed to work. Golden Gate gave
me great exposure to professors who had experience in the world I was part of.” While the
schedule was demanding, Fox believes her commitment to her career goals, combined with the
support of her husband and young son
(“There were no cell phones, so they’d be waiting at the window for me to come home from
classes,” she recalls), made all the difference.
Believing that the emerging HMO model
was the wave of the future, after earning her
MBA in 1985, Fox took an outpatient clinical director position with French Health
Plan, an HMO satellite clinic in Novato,
Calif. In 1989, Kaiser Permanente bought
the company, and Fox remained with Kaiser
in positions of increasing responsibility until
1996, when she joined St. Mary’s Medical
Center in San Francisco as chief operating
officer and vice president.
Fox took on her current position in 2001,
serving as chief operating officer of Satellite
Healthcare and vice president of Satellite
Dialysis in Mountain View, Calif. She oversees 25 dialysis clinics throughout California
and Texas, where 600 employees serve 2,500
patients — and generate $70 million in revenue each year.
“I can have an impact on people’s lives
every day,” Fox says. “Sometimes I miss the
direct, hands-on patient care because that’s
immediate; but in the administrative role, I see
how my job is creating something that’s going
to improve and help people for years to come.”

Stephen Mason (BA 72)
“When I started my career, most people had
a family doctor and a general dentist,” says
Stephen Mason, president and CEO of
BayCare Health Systems, a family of healthcare providers in the Tampa Bay, Fla., area.
“Now we’ve got an acupuncturist, a personal
trainer, a nutrition counselor, a specialist, a
primary-care doctor … a variety that makes
the whole milieu of service significantly different than it was 20 years ago. … I did what
my doctor told me; my kids say, ‘I’ll go on the
Internet and verify what he’s saying.’”
The challenge that comes with these
changes, Mason says, is “to reinvent the
health-care system so it remains strong and
vibrant, and meets the needs and expectations
of the people in the communities we serve.”
Mason’s career in health care began in
1968, when he was a junior studying chemistry
at Millikin University in Decatur, Ill. He enlisted in the Air Force to avoid being drafted

care experience. Encouraged by his boss to
further his education, he enrolled at the
University of Minnesota, where he earned his
master’s in hospital administration in 1976.
Following his residency at the University of
Kansas Medical Center, Mason stayed on as
assistant administrator for two years, then
moved to Luther Hospital in Wisconsin as vice
president for professional services. He was
especially attracted to the part of his job that
involved developing management-support services for hospitals, and after a brief stint with a
health firm in Tennessee, Mason launched a
company with four former colleagues in 1981.
Hospital Management Professionals’ consultants “proposed what a hospital could do
to get back on track, then took a management
contract [to supervise the changes]. It was a
true entrepreneurial venture,” Mason says —
and a very successful one. During the next 11
years, the company grew to be the second
largest manager of beds in the country.
When the company was sold in 1992,
Mason joined Harris Methodist Health
System in Texas as president, heading up its
six hospitals. A merger in 1997 created
[ summer 2008 ]
Texas Health Resources (14 hospitals), and
by 1999 Mason became senior executive
vice president and chief operating officer.
Five years later, he moved to his current
position at BayCare Health Systems, which
has nine nonprofit hospitals. With about
17,700 employees, BayCare is reported to
be the largest privately held company in
Tampa Bay, serving a population of about
3.5 million people, with recent revenues in
the $2 billion range.
“Although organizations have to operate
with a strong business ethic,” Mason says,
“you need to make money. No money, no
margin, no mission. I do believe in the
strength of the mission we’re providing: to
improve the health care of the people in the
communities we serve.”
Though it wasn’t in the cards for Mason
to become a chemist, it’s clear the health-care
industry is a great fit for him. “It’s pretty
exciting — every day you’ve got a different set
of challenges facing you,” he says. “And at the
end of the day, regardless of what your role
is and what your job is in health care, you feel
like you’re making a difference.” ggu

Life Lessons
by Vicki Trent (JD 97), Bridge Society Member
came to GGU School of Law in January 1995 as a midyear admit, after starting law
school the previous summer in Sacramento at McGeorge University. Those three
days I spent there were in 100+-degree heat, and that heat helped inspire me to go to
GGU instead, since I loved the cool (in oh-so-many ways) climate of San Francisco.
Aside from climatic considerations, I liked a lot of other things about GGU School of
Law: I liked that it was located downtown near the Financial District; I also liked that
there were so many community-serving clinics; I liked that the law faculty was about
equal numbers of women and men.
I got a great education at GGU School of Law, passed the bar exam and meandered
through various legal jobs until I found my favorite career path in real estate. A large
portion of being a realtor is handling residential real-estate law mixed with a smaller
portion of immigration law. The lessons I learned in law school have stayed with me,
and I use my knowledge of contracts, torts, remedies and, of course, real property
quite often in my daily work. I also work part time in the immigration-law practice of
a friend I met at GGU.
In thinking about my legacy, I loosely quote from the Dalai Lama, as I am sure he
would not mind. He says something like: Live a good, honorable life. Then when you
get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.
As I become a femme d’un certain age, I feel glad to know that after I am gone, there
will be many at GGU who will have benefited from my life, as I have included GGU
in my estate plan. I am happy I am able to give back to the students of the future by
helping to support a school that helped me so much in my life and development.
I have fond memories of the several years I served on the alumni board, including
a term as president, and GGU holds a very special place in my heart. I know it will
continue to do so for my whole life. It is a good feeling to know that, after I am gone,
the school will still somehow feel my presence and thankfulness through my gift.

How to Gift
Back to GGU
How was your education paid for? Did
others help you with a scholarship funded by
alumni? The GI Bill? Subsidy from your employer,
friends or family?
Won’t you reach out to help educate up-andcoming generations? It’s hard to imagine a charitable gift that has a more far-reaching, positive effect
than an investment in education. There are so many
ways to give — and make a real difference.
Annual Gifts
Consider being an annual giver, and help close the
gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating students. Use a check or credit card to make
your monthly, quarterly or annual gift to the
President’s Fund. Make your check out to GGU, or
call to make a gift by credit card.
Recurring Gifts
Monthly gifts charged to your credit card or
electronically transferred from your bank account
provide an easy and convenient way to give,
while keeping GGU’s fund-raising cost low.
Matching Gifts
Match your gift through your company. You may be
able to double or triple your gift by including a matching-gift form from your human-resources department
along with your contribution.
Stock Gifts
Save on capital-gains taxes, and make your contribution with stock or mutual-fund shares instead of
cash. If you have appreciated securities worth more
than you paid for them, you gain a charitable deduction for the full fair-market value of the shares and
avoid capital-gains tax. It is simple to do; just call
for instructions.
Bequests
Include Golden Gate in your will or estate plan, and
leave a legacy of education to future generations.
Request information on making gifts of life insurance, retirement-plan benefits, stock, property, cash
or through a charitable trust.
Endowments
Establish a permanent fund in memory or honor
of someone special. An endowed fund can be set
up during your life or through a bequest for a wide
variety of purposes.
You may now give online by credit card at
www.ggu.edu/giving. Questions on how to give? Visit
www.ggu.edu/aboutgiving, call 415-442-7820, or
e-mail [email protected]. Please send contributions to
Elizabeth Brady, vice president of university advancement, Golden Gate University, 536 Mission St.,
San Francisco, CA 94105. 415-442-7820, fax 415882-1660, [email protected].

[ time capsule ]
the long-awaited
third volume of
ggu’s history
A Voyage of Discovery, The History of Golden Gate University, Volume III, 1970–1992
portrays converging changes largely at the capable steering of Otto Butz, the university’s
visionary, pioneering and energetic president from 1970 to 1992.
In tandem with a highly focused mission and the recognition of the
emerging needs of the public, Butz combined his considerable
skills of innovation with a plan for growth. Consequently, the
GGU footprint spread from local to regional, regional to state,
state to national, and national to international.
Michael Clarke (BS 67)
accepts a scholarship check
from Pennington H. Way Jr.
on behalf of the Harry J.
Loman Foundation in 1966.
A Voyage of Discovery chronicles the history of GGU and the
growth of San Francisco as a corporate center on the West
Coast with first-person accounts from former colleagues,
trustees and friends, as well as a treasure trove of photos.
The book is available through the GGU bookstore at its new location at 40 Jessie St. (415-442-7277). For more information, visit
www.ggu.bkstr.com. Price is $50 (plus a 10 percent discount for alumni).
