Terry Connelly is also championing this effort. 4. Professional MBA Program: GGU will add a third format to its MBA curriculum, fitting between the Executive MBA and the traditional open-menu MBA. This program is being championed by Paul Fouts, professor and MBA program director. 5. International Recruitment of Student Ambassadors: Current students and new alumni who return to their home countries will organize and attend events to network and meet with potential new students. They bring knowledge of the culture, language and direct experience at Golden Gate University. The champion of this initiative is Lou Riccardi, our director of enrollment services. 6. Scholarships for Degree-Completers: In an effort to provide an incentive for students who have “stopped out” of GGU and to maximize our new Path-to-Completion program, students will receive a scholarship to assist in the completion of their degree if they are in good standing academically. Championing this initiative is Cherron Hoppes, dean of undergraduate programs. The New Horizons 20/20 Leadership initiative is already having an impact on Golden Gate University. In the coming year, our group will be expanded to explore new markets that need to be served with new and innovative programs on a longer time table. Twenty new people will be added to the current leadership team. We will be developing a five-year plan for university service, growth and vitality. To continue to achieve our goals and ensure our institutional vision is 20/20, GGU’s financial supporters are more critical than ever. Our heartfelt thanks goes to all our donors — especially the ones in our 2006–2007 Honor Roll of Donors, which begins on p. 33. Thank you for enabling our vision. six occasions to discuss emerging needs and how the university could respond quickly. After great discussion, dialogue and analysis, a consensus emerged that six new initiatives would be undertaken during the coming year: 1. Improvement of the GGU Website Experience: This involves assessment of the current website design and content, review of our key business and governance processes, and assessing our overall core competence in creating and managing our website. The technical follow-through will be initiated in January 2008. This project is championed by Anthony Hill, our chief technology officer. 2. Corporate Partnerships: This fall, a new director of corporate partnerships, Deidre Robinson, will bolster GGU resources and deepen our relationships with employers throughout Northern California. This new initiative is championed by Terry Connelly, the dean of the Edward S. Ageno School of Business. 3. Vertical Marketing of MS Degrees: This spring, GGU will initiate a vertical marketing strategy at the MS degree level. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive effort to increase visibility in a particular profession or industry modeled after our MS tax degree program. Our target is to increase our national and regional online enrollment market to a well-defined audience.

S Everything’s Coming up Roseville GGU has relocated its Sacramento teaching site to neighboring Roseville, Calif. GGU will be moving in to a 50,000-square-foot facility owned by Heald College, which has been in Roseville since 1986. “The facility is light, bright and open, with parking and easy freeway access,” says Barbara Karlin (LLM 81), vice president of academic affairs. “What’s more, we are hoping to develop a relationship with Heald College that will provide real synergies for both GGU and Heald. Because Heald is a two-year school, we hope to be the school of choice for those Heald graduates who seek to continue with their education and earn a four-year degree.” GGU will have several dedicated classrooms and offices in the building at 7 Sierra Gate Plaza, which is on the north side of Interstate 80, east of the Douglas exit. The city of Roseville is part of a growing metropolitan area that is home to an increasing number of major employers, including Hewlett-Packard and Kaiser Permanente. The area is expected to experience an 8 percent growth rate between 2005 and 2010, Karlin says, adding that there is a large population of potential degree-completers and graduate students in the area. And if that’s not enough, Jim Gray, the mayor of Roseville, is a GGU alumnus, having earned a master’s of public administration degree in 1977. 8 Undergrads Find Gateway to Success A new class giving undergraduate students a blueprint for success that helps them define personal, academic and professional goals was unveiled for the fall 2007 term. Called “Gateway to Success,” the class will introduce students to professional-practice education at GGU and assist them in setting measurable goals and earning their degrees in the quickest time possible. “It’s about coaching and facilitating; this isn’t a lecture course at all,” said Cherron Hoppes, GGU’s dean of undergraduate programs. “It’s a roll-up-yoursleeves-and-understand-your-goals-and-objectives class, geared to the adult nontraditional student. This is about high-level skill development.” Students will be introduced to the university’s support services, resources, library, tutoring services, advising and other career services. It will also guide students in development of a portfolio of their work and full academic plan. The eight-week course will be offered in San Francisco and Walnut Creek, and online through CyberCampus. It is required for all first-term undergraduates in the first year of GGU’s bachelor’s degree programs in accounting, business administration, management and information technology. In the Gateway course, students will create an individualized professionaldevelopment plan and engage in experiential learning focused on networking and industry research. “The idea is that the course will introduce skills and the practice of skills, and as [students] move along [in their degree program], they’ll continue to refine that,” said Walt Stevenson, director of GGU’s bachelor’s degree programs in business administration and management. “The class will help students understand the many facets of career development, such as collecting solid research on their fields and companies of interest, as well as assessing their personal values and using them to make an informed choice when selecting a place to work,” Hoppes said. —Carl Holcombe [ fall 2007 ] The Centennial Wall The Centennial Wall is a tribute to those who have had a significant financial impact on the university since its opening. It will feature the names of those who have given $100,000 or more to the university from 1901 through the end of The Centennial Campaign for GGU on June 30, 2008. The Centennial Wall is a commemoration and an inspiration honoring those who have given in the past and inspiring those who will give in the future. It will have a prominent and permanent position in the lobby of the university’s main building at 536 Mission St. The Centennial Wall is a one-time opportunity to be a part of this historic moment in the life of Golden Gate University. For more information about The Centennial Wall, please contact Elizabeth Brady, vice president of university advancement, at 415-442-7813 or ebrady@ggu.edu. [ ggu ] 9 The Centennial Campaign Where we stand in the university’s first capital campaign in more than 30 years 40 Jessie Rises Thanks to The Centennial Campaign, GGU’s Master Plan moves forward T he expansion and renovation of 40 Jessie St. (the former warehouse, ship-boiler factory and printing company previously known as the Swallow Building) is less than one year from completion. Construction began in July 2006 following several years of planning, design and city approvals. Since then, we’ve completed the demolition work; strengthened the foundation and structural integrity with compaction grouting, interior rebar and shotcrete; When complete, installed the steel for adding two new 40 Jessie St. will have six floors levels; and poured new concrete floors (plus a basement). sixth floor in the basement, second, fifth and The will house a sixth floors. Work continues on the windowed conference room interior mechanical, electrical, life- and a large outdoor balcony. safety and plumbing systems. The 40 Jessie St. expansion and renovation project is Phase 4B of a 9-phase Master Plan for GGU’s downtown San Francisco campus. The first three phases were completed in 2002 at a total project cost of $17.5 million. Those phases included the construction of a mechanical-system silo and the complete renovation of classrooms and lectures halls on the second and third floors of the west wing at 536 Mission St. Phase 4 has been split into three components. In Phase 4A, GGU completely renovated the basement level of the school-of-law library, including the installation of compact shelving to increase book-storage capacity within the same amount of physical space. This phase was completed in 2006 for a total project cost of $1.9 million. Phase 4C was completed in 2006 for a total project cost of $2.4 million. In 10 this project, GGU completely renovated the east-wing basement level of 536 Mission St. to upgrade mechanical systems and make more efficient use of the space to accommodate the offices of business services and facilities, enterprise technology services and the student government association. Phase 4B is the 40 Jessie St. project. With a total project budget of $20.5 million, this phase will add two levels and completely renovate the original building to create the new Student Services Center and provide space for administrative offices. The completed project will house the university bookstore, student lounge, café, and a “one-stop shop” for student services such as admissions, career and personal counseling, financial aid, cashier, registration and records, and student life. The project is on schedule and on budget. The first move will occur in February 2008, when the bookstore relocates into the first level from 62 First St. By April, the remaining student-support services will be moved in, not only to make use of the new building, but also to make way for the expansion of the law library at 536 Mission St. The expansion of the law library is Phase 5 and is scheduled to be completed in fiscal year 2009 for a total project budget of $4 million. The air around GGU’s San Francisco campus is thick with the dust, sounds and smells of several construction projects that will soon reshape the San Francisco skyline. It’s nice to know that GGU is kicking up a bit of dust of its own. —Jeffrey V.

One can listen to or view podcasts on an ad hoc basis or subscribe to a series. Initially, most podcasts were audio files, but with the increasing availability of large bandwidth, video is now a practical option. Podcasts can be used to enhance online communications, and to share events, interviews and speeches. Does your company have a regular usergroup conference? Record the talks and post them as podcasts for your customers who cannot attend. Enhance your product information and training programs online with a spo12 [ fall 2007 ] Illustration: Mark Collins In the summer 2007 issue of ggu, “To Blog or Not to Blog” focused on one of the hottest components of “new new media”: the ever-popular blog. This time, in the second part of our two-part series, we turn to audio and video, rather than written, content. “Podcast” is the generic term used to describe audio and video files available online and is, allegedly, derived from a combination of “iPod” and “broadcast.” Generally, podcasts are not real-time, but are prerecorded. They range from only seconds to hours long. Listeners then use “Web feeds” to receive the content at the time and place of their choice. ken and visual component. Podcasts provide both educational value and marketing opportunities. Imagine the many ways in which one can use the spoken word or music and visuals to enhance one’s marketing message. Radio and television have long been important media for delivering both general advertising and direct-response marketing communications. Podcasts add another way of reaching customers and prospective customers. A crucial aspect is that listeners and viewers voluntarily opt to receive the message. Arguably, this means they are more interested, seeking out the content created by the podcaster. For instance, if one’s product is based on sound — such as music or spoken lectures — a podcast can provide a sample of the product or deliver the actual product. Likewise, with visual communications, people who like the sample can then elect to consume more of the product. Movie trailers are such an example. Sound and visuals can be used as alternatives to, or in addition to, the written word so the marketer can reinforce each form of communication with the other. In May 2006, Harvard Business School Publishing began adding free podcasts to its website. Featuring authors of notable business books and articles, “Ideacasts” allow the interested listener to hear about the current topics from the authors themselves and create further interest in Harvard Business School’s print publications. The website of Jessica Williams, an extraordinary jazz pianist, includes podcasts of interviews with the musician, as well as audio samples of her music. These are ideal promotions for the direct sale of her music CDs via her secure website. Sample the sounds and, if you like what you hear, you can step up to the full suite of her compositions and performances. Golden Gate University includes audio and video components in many of its CyberCampus courses, enhancing the online learning experience. This approach supports a variety of learning styles. Some of us are audio learners (we prefer to hear), while others are kinesthetic (doers) or visual learners, who like to read or see. Listening to discussions and lectures helps some of us understand and retain information more effectively, while videos can show examples or present cases for discussion.

There is, of course, a “welcome” podcast that introduces the site itself. Other podcast sites of interest include podcastalley.com and podcast.net. Based on a survey conducted in August 2006, the Pew Internet & American Life Project reported that “12 percent of Internet users say they have downloaded a podcast so they can listen to it … at a later time.” This is an increase from 7 percent (based on a similar survey conducted in February–April 2006), which indicates a steady rise in podcast listeners. Other studies produce different estimates, but all concur that the adoption of podcasts is increasing and count listen- ers in the millions. Some speculate that the growing use of iPods and MP3 players will further fuel interest in podcasts. Make Me How difficult is it to create a podcast? You need a message, a way to record and upload the message, and a website to which the message file can be uploaded for listener/viewer access. The technical aspects of recording and distribution are relatively simple, and a number of easy-to-use tools are available for little or no cost. With a microphone for your personal computer and easily available software (such as Audacity), you make your recording. Once recorded, the file is uploaded with an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) file to a server from which users can access the podcast. Sound complicated? Then try one of the many services that claim you don’t need any technical expertise at all. The hardest part will always be creating the script — content that is An assistant professor and worth listening to or watching.

One way to address this (continued on p. 32) [ ggu ] 13 Live and Let Thrive Alumnus of the Year Bernard Tyson brings passion to everything he does, from helping run Kaiser Permanente, to cooking for his kids, to making sure we all eat our fruits and vegetables by Daniel Nevers • Photos by Kent Taylor I n the fall of 2006, Bernard J. Tyson (BS 82, MBA 85), the man who launched Kaiser Permanente’s enormously successful “Thrive” advertising campaign, was anything but thriving. He had suffered a massive heart attack, and for the first time in his career, he was sidelined. “I almost died,” he recalls. “It really makes you think about life differently. When I was sick, I felt so much love from thousands of people across the organization. You work all your life to give, and then all these people …” he stops, getting emotional. “I finally understood the beauty of receiving.” True to form, Tyson wasn’t down for long. He returned to his job three months after surgery. His love of what he does and 14 [ fall 2007 ] [ ggu ] his belief in Kaiser make him that rarest of breeds in today’s corporate world: Tyson has worked for the nonprofit health organization his entire career. He started at the company more than two decades ago as an intern during his final semester at GGU. Today, he is one of a handful at the top of the organizational chart, serving as executive vice president of health-plan and hospital operations for Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Inc. and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals. Headquartered in Oakland, Kaiser is the nation’s largest HMO, with 8.7 million members enrolled in 16 states and the District of Columbia. It operates 30 medical centers and more than 400 medical offices, and it 15 employs roughly 12,000 physicians. Because of the company’s size and scope, Tyson says, he has never lacked for new challenges. “It’s been 23 years, but I’ve been in multiple roles,” he says. “I have worked for all parts of the organization — at the medical-center level, at the regional level, at the national level. And the three entities that make up Kaiser Permanente — the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, where we insure people; the Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, where we own hospitals and run services; and the Kaiser Permanente Medical Groups, which is the physician side of the organization — I’m one of the few executives who has worked for all three at least once.” From a young age, Tyson knew he wanted to be in the health-care industry. He came to GGU straight out of high school to get his bachelor’s degree in health-services management. He took a semester off before returning to earn an MBA in health-services administration. Though he wasn’t the typical GGU student, Tyson knew it was the right place for him. “The feedback I kept getting about GGU was it was going to be challenging for me because I was coming directly out of high school, but if I absolutely knew what I wanted, and I was willing to deal with the fact that I would be going to school with professionals and businesspeople, the benefits would be terrific,” he says. “In addition to learning in the classroom, you also learn from other people. I had a ready-made network of people who 16 were already in the field. The insights they were able to bring to class were just incredible. And the fact that I had a teacher who was also a CEO of a hospital, which was what I wanted to be — I just admired him so much.” Tyson, too, eventually got to run a hospital, though it didn’t last long. “It’s funny, in my career at Kaiser Permanente, I finally got promoted to hospital administrator in 1992 in Santa Rosa [Calif.],” he says. “I was technically in the job less than a year, and then they moved me into a regional role to help reorganize Northern California. That was when I started up the health-plan track. It was really that process that exposed me to the broader workings of Kaiser. Never in my wildest imagination did I think I’d be doing what I’m doing today.” A large part of his current job is working one-on-one with the eight regional presidents who report to him. “I spend a lot of time mentoring my leaders, making sure we have the right people in the right roles to accomplish the right results,” he says. Additionally, he oversees Kaiser’s $40 billion capital plan, which includes the planning and construction of new medical centers, as well as an innovative $3 billion electronic medical-records program called KPConnect. And he sits on several national leadership groups, which help to govern the organization’s policies system-wide. “I consider a large part of my job to be maintaining relationships both inside and outside the organization,” Tyson says. “Even though we have a lot of technology, in the [ fall 2007 ] organization and in society, the human touch is still important. I spend a lot of time communicating, in person, on the phone.” All of it, he says, so Kaiser can ensure it is doing the best it can by its members. “At the end of the day, that’s what I’m here for. What’s unique and beautiful about our model is I don’t have to come here worrying about making a profit for our shareholders,” Tyson says. Because Kaiser is a nonprofit organization, any profits are reinvested, mainly into two categories: the capital plan and the community-benefits program, which subsidizes care for the under- and uninsured, funds more than 2,500 research-related programs at any given time, and even helps provide fresh produce via Kaiser-sponsored farmers’ markets in communities nationwide. It’s this kind of innovative thinking, Tyson believes, that makes Kaiser a model that should be studied for what the health-care industry can be. “We built this organization, not on a sick-care model, but on a preventive model,” he says. “It’s a way of organizing care that is effective, efficient and of very high quality. “The industry is very fragmented,” he continues. “We have figured out, over the course of 60 years, how to bring the health-plan side in partnership with the medical-group side and the hospital side. And we have a lot of other partnerships — with the pharmacy side, the lab side, the radiology side, you name it.” Tyson’s passion is not reserved for his career. He is father to three boys — Bernard Jr., 15; Alexander, 14; and Charles, 5 — who are his pride and joy. He excuses himself to take a call on his cell phone confirming reservations for Family Lobster Night at a local club, made at the request of his youngest son. “Can you believe that? Five years old, and he wants to go to lobster night,” Tyson laughs. Charles’ sophisticated palate is no surprise given his father’s love of cooking. Tyson describes in detail the dinner he prepared the night before: rack of lamb with garlic, rosemary, thyme and two kinds of peppers, topped with red potatoes and portobello mushrooms. “Cooking and eating together is an important time for me. It’s a time of communication, a time of discussion and fun,” he says. Tyson is also involved with several community and leadership organizations, including the San Francisco chapter of the United Negro College Fund; the National Quality Forum, an organization he co-chairs that aims to better define and make more available highquality health care in the United States; and the Executive Leadership Council, a network of African-American executives from Fortune 500 companies that provides mentoring and scholarships. In 2005, he was named one of the 10 most influential African-Americans in the Bay Area by City Flight Media, and in 2001, the NAACP awarded him the Freedom Fund Award for “sensitizing corporate America to the talents of people of color.” “I’m an incredibly blessed person,” Tyson says. “Like everybody else, I have headaches and challenges and my share of problems, but they don’t compare in any way to the positive Tyson knows he’ll be remembered for “Thrive.” That’s OK with him. In fact, he says, it’s not just a slogan for him anymore, but a way of life. side. So I feel obligated to do more and, in particular, to do more to help others do more.” As for being named GGU’s Alumnus of the Year, Tyson can’t believe it: “A respected, respectable institution from which thousands of people have graduated and gone on to become productive citizens in all walks of life, and this institution selects me? It’s not only humbling, I can’t believe there aren’t a thousand other Bernards out there they could have chosen. I’m really grateful.” Indeed, Tyson is grateful for much these days. He’s back to good health, and he’s more excited than ever about his career, maybe even enough to keep at it for another 23 years. “I like to say the beauty of being here is a perfect marriage of me wanting to be here and them wanting to have me,” he says. “I enjoy what I do, and I enjoy the people I work with. I guess if I started to dislike everyone and lose the eye of the tiger, then I would hang it up.” And that ubiquitous “Thrive” campaign? How did Tyson, the administrator, wind up in charge of the organization’s marketing strategy? “When the CEO first approached me [about it], I think I said something like, ‘Are you nuts?’ He was new to Kaiser. I went on to explain to him that I run things, I’m an operations person, I make stuff happen. He said, ‘Good, I want you to make the brand happen,’”Tyson recalls. [ ggu ] “There’s no way I can take all the credit, because it was a team of us. But what he said was, ‘You will hire a smart ad agency, and you will have smart people around you who understand the marketing stuff. What you will add is that you understand the organization. You understand what we are and what we aspire to be, and you will know it when you see it.’ And he was absolutely right.” Even though he has spent the majority of his career building hospitals and establishing regions — doing the “tough stuff ” — Tyson knows he’ll be remembered for “Thrive.” That’s OK with him. In fact, he says, it’s not just a slogan for him anymore, but a way of life. “When I think about health, and I think about what I’ve been through in my own personal journey, ‘Thrive’ speaks to how something can happen to your body and you can return to good health and become a productive citizen,” he says. “I’m helping to run a $40 billion company and not missing a beat; I’m raising three wonderful boys, which is a full-time job in itself; I’m involved in my church community; I have a passion for addressing the health care–disparities dilemma in this country. Because I am thriving — I am mentally and physically healthy — I’m able to be more productive.” ggu 17 Alumni Awardees 2007 T Riley’s wife, Irene, also spent her career at BofA, and though they worked in the same department early in their careers, it wasn’t until years later that they began dating. The couple has been married for almost two decades. Explaining how they managed to live and work together, Dan Riley says: “Our careers didn’t really overlap much. We didn’t commute to work together. The one meal of the day we had together was usually dinner, and we always talked about other things when we got home.” For the past two years, Riley has served on GGU’s board of trustees. “GGU has offerings that were very good for me, and with what’s going on in the business world, I think it’s good for the community,” he says. “GGU is working to get some turnaround stuff done — it’s rewarding and interesting to see that in place, and to be as helpful as I possibly can. If I’m going to spend my time on something, this is one of the things I think is important.” In their retirement, the Rileys like to spend time at their place in the Sonoma wine country, as well as traveling when they can. Irene sits on the San Francisco Housing Authority Commission and volunteers for Wu Yee Children’s Services and the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation, while Dan is an avid golfer. “We’re very happy to be recognized,” Riley says. “There are a lot of people who do a lot of good things for GGU. We’re pleased to have the time and resources.” by Daniel Nevers ime and again, each of this year’s Alumni Award recipients said they owe their success to GGU. Most of them stressed the practical value of their hands-on education for giving them a step up. For all they have done and for everything yet to come, we salute them. Meet this year’s alumni awardees: Fiona Ma Amicus Award Daniel P. (MBA 81) & Irene Riley Given to those whose efforts have resulted in significant contributions to the university’s resources and, thereby, to its educational capabilities and services. In many ways, Dan Riley is a perfect example of the GGU story. While slowly working his way up through the ranks at Bank of America (BofA), the native San Franciscan attended classes at night while he worked during the day. It was never easy balancing work and school, he says, but like so many GGU students, he kept at it until he finally had his degree in hand. Slow and steady describes Riley’s career, as well. Now retired, he spent more than 30 years at BofA. “I started as a coin-wrapper in the vault, and I ended up, 33 years later, managing hundreds of people,” says the former president of global treasury services. “From point A to point Z, there were a lot of good things that happened to me. I advanced further than I expected when I started with the company.” Community Service Award Fiona Ma, MS 93 Given in recognition of outstanding leadership and service contributions to the community. Since being elected to the California State Assembly in November 2006, Fiona Ma has wasted little time getting to know her way around Sacramento. In December, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez appointed her majority whip, making Ma the highest-ranking Asian- American woman in the California Legislature. She’s currently shepherding 17 bills through the Senate. “It’s very difficult to get a bill signed into law,” she says. “It’s been the biggest surprise. We don’t know how many are going to make it, which ones will get held hostage, which ones will get amended. It’s a complicated process.” Still, Ma finds she prefers the wheeling and dealing of Sacramento to the down-and-dirty politics she encountered in her four years on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. She and her fellow assemblymembers joke that “being in Sacramento is more like swimming with dolphins. There’s more [of a sense of] institution at the state level and really trying to keep the civility and honor in this job” than you see at the local level, she says. Ma didn’t always know she was bound for public life. When she graduated from GGU with a degree in taxation, she thought she might someday be a partner at major accounting firm. Early on, however, she could see the glass ceiling — “I didn’t actually hit it, but I could see it from afar” — so she started her own practice with a colleague. As part of some small business associations, she began to lobby local and state governments and became interested in politics. “At that point, I saw how elected officials had the power to make an impact directly,” Ma says. “I got intrigued with the amount of what politicians could actually do.” She learned that Sen. John Burton was hiring, so she applied and worked part time with him for seven years. “I feel like this is my calling, so I wouldn’t change it for anything,” Ma says. “You have to adapt, obviously. I don’t get to see my family and friends much. This is definitely not a 9-to-5 job. But I love it.” As for her award, Ma says: “I’m very honored to be recognized for my contributions to the community. I will proudly display my award in my office in Sacramento next to my degree.” Roger Bernhardt Distinguished GGU Service Award Roger Bernhardt Lisa Farmen 18 [ fall 2007 ] Curtis Burr Bernhardt, Rileys: Kent Taylor Given to a GGU faculty or staff member in recognition of exemplary leadership and service. Dan & Irene Riley The Law School owes a debt of thanks to Roger Bernhardt’s beard: Without it, he may have been snatched up by a law firm upon his arrival in San Francisco at age 26. With it, he had no choice but to teach. “No lawyer in San Francisco in 1960 had a beard,” Bernhardt recalls. “When I left teaching [at GGU] in 1964 to go into practice, I still had the beard. But I finessed it by opening a solo practice.” In 1969, then–Law School Dean Lani Bader asked Bernhardt to come back to GGU, and he’s been teaching ever since. “Some people are natural teachers. I was a decent lawyer, but I’m a good teacher. While I don’t dislike arguing cases, it’s not half as interesting as talking to students in class,” he says. “I like debating interesting issues, and this gives me that opportunity.” Both Bernhardt’s practice and teaching have focused largely on property law, an area into which he readily admits he stumbled. “I set [ ggu ] 19 [ alumnews ] out to become a criminal lawyer, but I got assigned a property case. I didn’t have any idea what it was, but I’ve come to love it,” he says. “The property matters tantalized my mind, and they still do. People are constantly finding new things to do with property — ways to deal with it, create it, divide it up, argue about it.” He has written numerous books on mortgage and property law, including two widely used textbooks, Real Property in a Nutshell and The Black Letter Law of Real Property. He is also editor of the Real Property Law Reporter, a publication put out by Continuing Education of the Bar California, and he arranges his own continuing-education programs, regularly bringing alumni and others together to hear experts he personally invites from the real-estate community to speak at the Law School. Bernhardt owes more than just his career to GGU. He met his wife, Christine Tour-Sarkissian (JD 85, LLM 04), here more than 25 years ago. The couple has been married for 17 years, and she also teaches at GGU as an adjunct professor in the Law School. “She does what I talk about. I find out the way the real world is from her,” he says. “She’s the litigator who works seven days a week; I do the shopping and cooking.” Then, he adds, “But she doesn’t make me do the floors.” On the subject of his award, Bernhardt has just one thought: “I hope they’re not trying to tell me it’s time for me to leave!” Rising Star Award Lisa Farmen, MBA 01 Given to a recent graduate (10 or fewer years) who exhibits extraordinary professional achievements and contributions to the community. For Lisa Farmen, it’s not whether the glass is half full or half empty that matters, but whether the water inside the glass is clean. After cutting her teeth as a chemical engineer in the semiconductor industry, she yearned to put her technical skill to more meaningful use. Encouraged by a family friend, she enrolled in GGU’s Executive MBA program, with hopes of one day running her own business. Ten days after graduation, however, she had to quit her job and move to Oregon to deal with a family crisis. It wasn’t quite the start to her new life she’d imagined. Still, Farmen made the most of it. “I was sitting around with a lot of time on my hands,” she recalls, so she began plotting out the details of just what kind of company to start. Today, that company, Crystal Clear Technologies (CCT), is at the forefront of developing a low-cost nanocoated filter medium that will remove chemical and biological contaminants from the world’s drinkingwater supply. By 2015, two-thirds of the world’s population won’t have a reliable source of drinking water, Farmen says. “It’s the supply–demand problem of the 21st century.” CCT has received seed-funding grants from the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Small Business Innovative Research Program and the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute. The company has been subcontracted to provide bladder packs to the US Army and Marine Corps that use low-cost, readily available organic 20 compounds to clean contaminated water without electricity. These efforts to commercialize its technology, along with additional outside investment, will ensure further funding from the NSF, Farmen says. “A friend sent me a picture of a woman holding a baby with a jug on her head,” Farmen says. “She wrote me a note across it that says, ‘Do it for her and the millions like her.’ The day we get [our product] into the hands of a woman in Africa with a family is the day I get paid back. “Without question, taking the MBA and international business classes opened my eyes,” Farmen continues. “GGU gave me the confidence to tackle a global business. I’m so grateful for everything I learned and, to be recognized on top of it, I’m beyond words.” Volunteer of the Year Award Curtis Burr, BA 74, MBA 76 Given to a person who shows exceptional service to the university through volunteer activities. By his own account, Curtis Burr is a practical guy. So when it came time to choose a career path after getting out of the Army, he turned to the want-ads. “I thought I wanted to go into political science. But it was 1972 — it was kind of a recessionary period — and I saw a guy on the news with a poli-sci degree who was delivering papers,” he recalls. “I thought, ‘I’m not doing that again.’” Noticing the many accounting jobs available, Burr talked to a counselor who told him to attend GGU if he wanted practical experience. “I thought, ‘Yes, I want practical experience. I want a job!’” Burr says. He attended GGU year-round on the GI Bill until he had earned both his bachelor’s degree in accounting and an MBA in taxation. Burr is one of the founding partners and principals in the accounting-consulting firm of Burr, Pilger and Mayer LLP, based in San Francisco. After 20 years, the firm now boasts 30 partners and 270 employees. Commenting on its success, Burr says: “I’m not sure we ever thought that far down the road. Our first five years, the goal was to stay in business. The next five years, it was to grow to 50 people. Then that wasn’t quite big enough. It just sort of grew.” Burr also gives back to the community as a volunteer and by serving on various boards, working with the San Francisco Food Bank, the Rotary Club of San Francisco, and the Boys and Girls Clubs. He has been active on GGU’s own board of trustees since 2001, serving as board chair from 2003–2007, sitting on advisory committees for the tax and accounting schools, and fund-raising for The Centennial Campaign for GGU. “Giving time and money is just something people should do, being part of a community, especially if you make a good living. You have a responsibility,” Burr says. “Besides, I have found through my involvement in the university, you get more from it than you can ever give. The people you meet, who you get to know — it’s a great institution. “It’s really cool I get this award. I’m tickled by it.” He is especially excited to bring his 10-year-old daughter, Rachele, to the awards luncheon. “My wife and I are trying to teach her about giving back, having her understand there’s more [to life] than just working,” he says. ggu [ fall 2007 ] GGU Alumni Association 2007–2008 Alumni Association Board of Directors Association News Jim O’Neil (MBA 86), President New Board Members: At its June 7 board meeting, the GGU Alumni Association elected four new board members to serve three-year terms beginning July 1: David Joslin (MBA 97), general manager of Metropolis Baking Co. in Berkeley; Maria Feher (MBA 97), mortgage account executive at Bank of America in San Francisco; Gary Calderon (MBA 91), director of sales for SkyRecon Systems in Sunnyvale, Calif.; and Dave Iuppa (MBA 86), vice president of franchise licensing and sales for Caboodle Cartridge Licensing Corp. in Los Gatos, Calif.

As director for the Little Hoover Commission for 10 years, English examined ways to make state government more effective to meet the needs of California citizens. Among other positions, the mother of four sons also served as assistant executive director of the California Transportation Commission, and has her own consulting firm, Jeannine English & Associates. Named to the Board of Governors of the California State Bar Association last year by Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez, English also accepted an appointment in July to serve as state president for the AARP in California.

Planning Ahead by Claude Trusty (MBA 79), Bridge Society Member oth my wife, Peg, and I believe in giving back. I have benefited greatly from my Golden Gate degree and my time on the Alumni Association board, where I served as president from 1988–1990. Too many people forget about what’s going to happen after they die, and they leave those decisions to other people or the state. There aren’t any U-Hauls or moving vans behind the hearses at any funerals I attend. You can’t take it with you. That’s why we’re members of Golden Gate’s Bridge Society. I attended GGU, the University of Mississippi and Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn. We have included all of them in our estate plan. I went to Golden Gate while working at Genstar, a building-materials manufacturer headquartered in San Francisco. As part of a management-development program, I took a series of tests that resulted in the recommendation that I pursue an MBA. Other local universities didn’t have “outpatient programs,” so to speak, and GGU also offered more of what I was looking for than other schools. I was very interested in who was teaching the classes, and Golden Gate professors were more hands-on. I was part of the first off-site Executive MBA program — we were the guinea pigs. We took classes in a hotel in San Mateo, Calif., attending classes all day Friday and Saturday for about two years. I was traveling a lot, and my wife and I had two children, so I generally did my homework from midnight–4 am. It was a lot of work, but I find if you plan ahead and fit everything into a system, it all works very well. Really, it’s all about planning ahead. Most people don’t plan for anything that will happen after they die. Something could happen to you tomorrow, and if you don’t make the decisions yourself, others — the state, probate court, etc. — will decide what happens to your estate instead of you. I have planned ahead to help build the financial growth of Golden Gate University. B “An up-to-date estate plan is the finest gift you can give your loved ones,” says John E. O’Grady (JD 86, LLM 93), an estate-planning attorney and the newest Bridge Society member. The Bridge Society recognizes individuals who, by including the university in their estate plans, have made an investment in the vision and the future of GGU. A bequest or life-income trust to benefit the university is a commitment to education for future generations — a plan today for an investment in tomorrow. GGU’s Office of University Advancement is available to provide confidential assistance to aid alumni and friends in shaping an enduring legacy tailored to their needs. [ ggu ] To include GGU as a beneficiary of your will, trust or retirement plan, please use our legal name (Golden Gate University) and tax ID number (94-1585735). To learn about joining the Bridge Society and/or for information about planned giving, bequest language and referrals, please contact Elizabeth Brady, vice president of university advancement, at 415-442-7813 or ebrady@ggu.edu.

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 alumni@ggu.edu. 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, ebrady@ggu.edu. 29 [ memoriam ] Manny Manahan (MBA 69) A tireless supporter of GGU, Manny Manahan died July 9. He was 72. A member of the Bridge and Silver societies, as well as the Nagel T. Miner Endowed Scholarship for International Students Committee, Manahan seldom missed a GGU event, donating his time, smile and money to benefit his alma mater. A native of the Philippines, he ran his own CPA firm and was an active member of Friends of the San Francisco Public Library and many other community organizations. In addition to leaving a lasting legacy of philanthropy and volunteerism at GGU, as his friend Normita Fenn (BA 65, MBA 83) so eloquently put it, “Manny left a legacy of kindness.” William A. Robinson (JD 64) Bill Robinson, a member of the GGU Bridge Society, died July 12. He was 70. After his tour of duty in the US Navy, Robinson entered Stanford Law School, but transferred to GGU so he could work and attend law school at night. He practiced in private firms until he became in-house counsel for the California State Automobile Association in 1971; he held that position for 25 years. Robinson and his wife, Karen Kadushin (JD 77), spoke at GGU’s 2006 Bridge Society Luncheon; Robinson left a generous bequest to the Law School. Orval L. Ostler (BA 49) died Feb. 28, 2006. Earl W.

Web feeds let users subscribe to their choice of Web content. This method of distribution pulls content desired by the user, rather than pushing information a company thinks the user should have. Virtually any kind of content can be distributed this way: headlines with complete content only a click away, blogs, podcasts, even ads. This can reduce the concern individual users have about sharing e-mail addresses. Fear of spam alone may increase the use of Web feeds and content subscriptions. Feed-readers and -aggregators automatically update when new information is available and then present summaries of the new content from the feed. Since one of the earliest feed formats was RSS, the term RSS is often used generically, when, technically, other Web feeds exist, such as Atom and XML. Special buttons or links, often orange, indicate that a feed is available for the website or blog. Users click on the button and, thereafter, receive the updates as they become available. Many people use Web feeds unknowingly when they customize their home page on Yahoo! or a similar site. However, as the presence of Web feeds increases on websites, the awareness of the service is likely to increase. If your company commits to blogs or podcasts, you may consider adding a Web feed for this content. Your message will be delivered to the subscriber regularly and increase the visibility of your news and information. Communicating to prospective consumers in the ways they wish to receive messages has always been the goal of marketing professionals. Blogs and podcasts are just the latest in the “new” new media. With the continuing evolution of new communications technology, including new devices such as portable media players and multifunction mobile phones, as well as changing consumer preferences and habits, marketing professionals need to continually monitor the many ways in which they can reach their desired audiences. Blogs and podcasts can be another way of enhancing integrated marketing-communications programs, but only for the appropriate product and target market. ggu Thank you. ✄ Stay connected!
