Over the past few years, our community has worked at an unprecedented pace to accomplish so much in such a short amount of time. and, i am so proud to be a part of such a dedicated community.
The daniels Tomorrow strategic plan consists of seven strategic goals for daniels to accomplish by 2014, and in 2010–2011, we made considerable progress on each goal. This year, i am proud to announce that daniels:
i wish to offer my sincerest thanks to the daniels Pioneer community for making this possible—the dedicated faculty, staff, alumni, partners and friends who contribute significant time, energy and resources toward daniels Tomorrow.

Values Statement
we are committed to the values of excellence and ethics that
serve to sustain a rich and dynamic learning community.
we carry out our shared values through three themes: Community, Excellence and Ethics.
O u r M i s s i O n
Ethical Practice. Thought Leadership. Global Impact.
The Daniels College of Business is a community dedicated to educating ethical business leaders, advancing the theory and
practice of business and making a positive global impact.

an authentic, Transformational business Education
D e l I V e R e x e M pl a Ry,
M a R k e t- R e l e Va N t pRO g R a M S
Reevaluate and refine our teaching practices
and curriculum to ensure all Daniels programs
are of the highest quality, value and excellence.
1S T R a T E G i c G O a l
above all, we understand that to have a lasting impact around the world, we must offer excellent programs. Our curriculum is cutting edge and market relevant, providing students a solid framework of ethics, innovation and sustainability, and numerous co-curricular and global opportunities to practice their skills. in 2010–2011, we continued to improve our degree and other programs to provide daniels students the best education possible.
v i s i o n
Undergraduate programsin 2010–2011, the Office of undergraduate Programs continued to develop services and co-curricular programs to enhance the undergraduate experience. The daniels Ethics boot camp—an ethical leadership conference for all sophomore business students—launched in fall 2010. Guided by faculty from the department of business Ethics and legal Studies, students are grouped into cohorts and spend an intensive weekend discussing ethical decision making, professionalism, work-life balance and more.
as we work toward international recognition, we continued to increase the quality of our students by introducing a secondary admissions process in fall 2010. Through this process, aspirant business majors are required to apply to daniels in their sophomore year.
graduate programsafter launching the One-year mba program in fall 2010—a program for pre-professional students to begin immediately after earning a bachelor’s degree from an aacSb-accredited university—we developed a formal internship program to provide these
students a meaningful professional experience where they can apply their newly acquired skills. Thanks to a private gift, we expanded our Global Opportunities experiential learning program for graduate students. The international mba caiO program was renamed GO-imba and incorporated into the Global Opportunities program. we unveiled numerous enhancements to the daniels Executive mba program in fall 2010, including new courses, additional seminars and an experiential retreat. To better serve our Professional mbas and Executive mbas, we reorganized internally to meet the unique needs of working professionals.
executive educationin 2010–2011, our Executive Education program deepened its longtime partnership with the healthcare industry. for several years, Executive Education has worked with several leading colorado healthcare organizations, and in 2010, we developed a physician leadership-development program for centura health, colorado’s
largest hospital system.

Career Services
in august 2011, the Suitts center for Graduate career Services
changed its name to the Suitts career management center to
better reflect our commitment to guiding students throughout their
time at daniels and beyond.
in 2010–2011, the Suitts career management center developed
and implemented an innovative program for graduate students
and alumni—career next™—a four-phase career-management
cycle that provides action items and deliverables throughout
a student’s career search. Through this process, we can better
assist students and alumni to make decisions about their careers,
pursue best-fit job opportunities, present themselves well and
build valuable networks.
and Suitts purchased two new databases for student use:
Going Global, an international jobs database, and MBA Focus,
a résumé database for top-tier graduate business schools utilized
by leading global employers.
VOICeS OF expeRIeNCe
daniels made great strides this year toward offering more
services to our students and alumni and strengthening corporate
engagement. in december 2010, daniels started the city Treks
program, taking top graduate and undergraduate students
to new York city and San francisco to learn about various
companies, industries and careers. daniels staff and students
also attended several national career fairs this year, including
the national black mba career conference and the national
Society of hispanic mbas career fair.
executive Mentor program
in 2010–2011, we expanded the college’s Executive mentor
program, which pairs mba and mS students with senior-level
business leaders from companies such as Oppenheimerfunds,
millercoors, ibm Global Services, western union, Xcel Energy
and others. This past year, the number of executive mentors
increased by 25 percent (and participants by 27 percent), and
daniels held an appreciation event for mentors in august 2011.
“If you want to be successful in life, if you want to be successful in business, if you want to be successful with your family, if you want to be successful with your relationships—be a man or woman of character. Concentrate on your selflessness. Don’t be afraid to take a stand and do the right thing for the right reasons. And maintain your integrity. You do that, and you’re going to be a great success.”

Support our faculty’s scholarly pursuits
and conduct impactful research that helps
solve business and community issues.
2S T R a T E G i c G O a l
as we bolster our future as a worldwide leader among business schools, we must support our faculty’s cutting-edge research and teaching to ensure that daniels students receive the best education possible and leave here equipped to lead in an ever-changing world.
v i s i o n
enhanced Recruiting and Hiring processes
in spring 2011, we revised our strategic hiring plan to guide us
in our recruiting of new faculty. Previously overhauled in June
2010, the newly enhanced plan standardizes and streamlines
these important processes. we appointed a strategic hiring
committee, led by dr. Sharon lassar, director of the School of
accountancy. This committee offers a college-wide perspective
on faculty hiring, reviews candidates based on teaching and
scholarship criteria and provides checks and balances to
ensure daniels interviews only high-quality candidates whose
backgrounds, teaching philosophies and career goals coincide
with the daniels mission.
Daniels adds New Faculty
informed by the newly revised strategic hiring plan, we recruited
and hired 12 new faculty members in three departments and
three schools. These professors started at daniels in the fall
2011 quarter:
School of accountancy
Dr. Jane Morton, lecturer Dr. lorenzo patelli, assistant Professor Dr. keith Sellers, associate Professor

promoting Faculty Scholarship and expertise
To support our faculty in their research and scholarly pursuits,
in summer 2011, daniels awarded research grants to 14 faculty
members from marketing, management, the Reiman School of
finance, business Ethics and legal Studies, business information
and analytics, the School of accountancy, and the franklin l.
burns School of Real Estate and construction management.
Daniels NetWorth: thought leadership in action
in fall 2010, the college launched daniels networth, a campaign
that brands our college research, expertise and accomplishments.
it illustrates the true net worth of daniels—the minds and actions
of our faculty, students and alumni. The campaign is currently
executed through danielsnetworth.org and the networth section
of the Daniels Business Review.
at danielsnetworth.org, you will find a robust, in-depth website
highlighting the powerful daniels network of people who share
in the endeavor to build a sustainable world in which to live
and work. applied and pedagogical research, journal articles
and opinion pieces by daniels faculty demonstrate how we are
contributing new knowledge, bridging the worlds of intellectual
contributions, the practice of business and the classroom.
while it is in the beginning stages, we plan to expand the scope of
the campaign and the promotion surrounding it in 2012. Our vision
is to expand daniels networth with articles about, and opinion
pieces from, daniels alumni to show how we develop business
leaders who can navigate in a changing global marketplace.
Revised Scholarship Document
in June 2011, Professor chuck Patti, department of marketing,
was appointed senior associate dean of faculty and academic
research, replacing dr. Glyn hanbery, who retired June 30,
2011. dr. Patti formed a committee with dr. Paul Olk, director
of research and accreditation, and drs. Tommi Johnson and Jim
Sorensen to rewrite the college’s scholarship document, which
addresses the proper balance of teaching, scholarship and
service among our faculty.
The modified scholarship document will be better aligned with
the association to advance collegiate Schools of business
(aacSb-international) business school conceptual framework for
teaching and academics. it addresses career performance and
provides minimum and maximum percentages that all tenured
and nontenured academic ranks should spend on teaching,
research and service activities. The document also ties faculty
scholarship to college reward systems for merit compensation,
research grants, course releases and sabbaticals.
The new scholarship document will be finalized and approved
by the faculty in spring 2012.
VOICeS OF expeRIeNCe
“I think for all of us to keep alive the spark of curiosity, to leave our campsite a little better than we found it, to intervene for good in human matters—those aren’t bad things to strive for. And I do it in the deep sense of building on the example my parents set for me, and I hope my husband and I set for our children.” —Barbara O’Brien, former Colorado Lieutenant Governor

COllaBORatION
Build upon Daniels strong reputation
in three distinct areas:
ethics, social responsibility and sustainability;
globalization; and innovation, entrepreneurship
and social entrepreneurship.
v i s i o n
ethics, Social Responsibility and Sustainability
in april 2011, the college appointed dr. daniel Sweeney as
executive director of the institute for Enterprise Ethics. with the
help of faculty leadership, including drs. Jim O’Toole, bruce
hutton, buie Seawell, david cox and dennis wittmer, as well
as dean christine Riordan, dr. Sweeney led the development
of a mission for the institute: To create and disseminate new
knowledge regarding ethics, social responsibility, governance
and sustainability practices to help enterprise leaders integrate
such practices into the fabric of their organizations’ cultures.
in July 2011, the institute for Enterprise Ethics awarded
fellowships to nine daniels faculty members and one du faculty
member on research topics as diverse as recycling of rare earth
elements in consumer products to a case study on a religious
and national discrimination lawsuit brought by the u.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity commission.
for more than 20 years, daniels has pioneered business ethics
education. in 2011, we further cemented our commitment to
ethics education by becoming a charter member in the eight-
member daniels fund academic Ethics consortium, a group of
regional business schools charged with developing or improving
the teaching of ethics. Read more about the daniels fund
academic Ethics consortium at danielsfund.org.

Ethics
Globalization
Innovation & Entrepreneurship
At the Daniels Intersection, students recognize the power of the triple-bottom line. It is here that they understand that doing good is good business, that a global view starts with an inward gaze and that innovation is the bridge between our imagination and a new reality.
The Daniels Intersection challenges all of us to see the world through the eyes of another as we change global businesses and communities for the better.

entrepreneurship and Innovation
as denver and the Rocky mountain region is home to a high
concentration of small to medium-sized businesses and is often
at the forefront of business innovation, daniels is in a unique
position to respond to market needs and serve as a hub for
entrepreneurial activities.
in 2010–2011, we laid the groundwork for an Office of
Entrepreneurship. in 2012, daniels will hire a director
of entrepreneurship to work with faculty to integrate
entrepreneurship more deeply into the curriculum and establish
a resource center for the business community, trade associations,
professional services, business incubators and the investment
community. Through this effort, daniels plans to become
the recognized authority on entrepreneurship and business
innovation in the Rocky mountain region and beyond.
at daniels, students interested in studying innovation and
entrepreneurship can take courses at the undergraduate and
graduate level—from Real business cases in Entrepreneurship
and financial Planning for Small business to innovation
Strategies, Emerging Technologies and more. daniels also
offers graduate business certificates in innovation and
entrepreneurship. Through clubs, organizations and co-curricular
activities, daniels students can participate in case competitions,
panel discussions and networking with alumni and community
partners involved in innovative industries and entrepreneurial
companies. and, the university offers a living and learning
community—creativity and Entrepreneurship—where students
participate in coursework, co-curricular activities and live in
cohorts with other students interested in entrepreneurship.
we are also researching the possibility of adding an mS
Entrepreneurship to our degree portfolio.
VOICeS OF expeRIeNCe“We don’t live and we don’t work in isolation. We have an impact, both on the environment and the society in which we live. And as leaders, we have a responsibility to manage that impact one way or another. At Molson Coors, we break down corporate responsibility into three areas: you do it because it’s the right thing to do; you do it because it makes good business sense or common sense; you do it because it can—if you get it right—give you the ability to reinforce and bolster those areas of your company that give you competitive advantage.”
—Peter Swinburn, President and CEO, Molson Coors Brewing Company
globalization
The Office of Globalization, established in 2009, spent this
year focusing on building internal and external relationships
to develop the college’s global experiences, curricula and
network. in 2010, Tom dowd, senior director, transitioned from
part to full time and appointed a half-time associate director,
leslie carter. we conducted our second annual globalization
audit, evaluating all global activity throughout daniels—
partnerships, research, programs and more. The college
solidified formal partnerships with international universities,
including Queensland university of Technology in brisbane,
australia, and national Yunlin university of Science and
Technology in Taiwan. future initiatives will include international
internships, student and faculty exchange programs and other
sustainable collaborations with universities and organizations
around the world. internally, outreach efforts have strengthened
partnerships between daniels and the university’s Office of
internationalization, Office of international Student Services and
others. finally, daniels continues to develop plans for a world
executive program, which will integrate the daniels mba core
curriculum in partnership with other colleges and universities.

Inclusive Excellence Committee
The Inclusive Excellence (IE) Committee made progress in several
areas during 2010–2011. Co-chairs David Corsun, director,
Knoebel School of Hospitality Management, and Dorothy Joseph,
associate dean of college operations, led the development of
a committee business plan (approved in August 2010), and
progress will be reported annually.
The IE Committee received $50,000 from the Colorado
Multicultural Career and Internship Fair fund and other gifts
from donors and the IE Case Competition, bringing the
balance of the committee’s fund to $72,000, which is to be
used for scholarship and professional development activities.
Daniels added an Inclusive Excellence Graduate Fellow, MA
higher-education student Clorindo Lucero, who was awarded
the fellowship by the Morgridge College of Education in
partnership with the Center for Multicultural Excellence.

Develop the Daniels community into one
in which everyone is valued and included,
where people connect and engage,
and where ideas, career opportunities and
strong relationships enhance lives.
4S T r A T E G I C G o A L
our community members know that inclusiveness isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a business imperative. This is why this year at Daniels we invested in our community through inclusive events, activities and partnerships that nurture relationships and encourage the free exchange of ideas.
v i s i o n
The College hosted its second Inclusive Excellence Case
Competition in April 2011. The event grew significantly from
2009–2010, drawing 90 applicants from six schools and
colleges across DU—from which 48 students were selected
to compete on 12 teams—and 10 participating companies,
including sponsors, executive judges and case writers. The
competition raised $20,000 and awarded $14,000 in
scholarships to the winning teams.

speakers such as Peter Morton of Hard rock Café (BSBA,
1969), who spoke in March 2011, and Linda Childears,
president and CEo of the Daniels Fund, who spoke in
May 2011.
VOICES OF EXPERIENCE
“What kind of people do we need? I think we need different people in our organizations. I think it’s great to bring out some of the process improvement, but I’m looking at people from other industries, not just health care, to help us think about how we do health care better. If you just stay in your same box, you’re going to stay thinking about it in the conventional way you’ve always done it.”
—Donna Lynne, President, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Colorado Region
Expanding the Daniels Executive Advisory Board
In 2009–2010, we reinvigorated and relaunched the Daniels Executive Advisory Board. This year, we continued to build this board and added nine new members.

Expanding the Dean’s Society
This year, our outreach efforts helped grow the Dean’s Society,
which includes individuals, organizations and corporations that
contribute at least $1,000 to Daniels annually. We added 66
new members to the Dean’s Society, bringing total membership
to 284. our goal is to reach 1,000 members by 2014.
Renovating and Upgrading College Buildings
Daniels students expect and deserve state-of-the-art learning
facilities. For this reason, renovating Margery reed Hall is
a priority in the next three years. Built in 1929, Margery
reed is one of the oldest buildings on the DU campus and
home to undergraduate advising, career services and other
Daniels offices. The renovated Margery reed Hall will provide
additional classrooms, technology-rich work areas, interactive
gathering spaces, study rooms and a 180-seat venue. This
$8 million renovation is a key funding priority of ASCEND.
In the past two years, we made several improvements to the
Daniels building, which is now 12 years old. In summer 2011,
we focused on technology and safety features. These upgrades
ensure we are able to meet students’ needs and fulfill our
promise to offer exemplary programs and facilities. Daniels ASCEND Funding Priorities

Measuring Our ProgressIn 2009–2010, Daniels developed and began using scorecards that capture key metrics in three areas: resources, quality and people. This year we continue to update these scorecards and report on our progress toward meeting our strategic goals. Units and departments maintain their scorecards, which compare current-year performance with the prior year to measure progress.
Taking ActionTo achieve our seven goals set forth by the Daniels Tomorrow strategic plan, we developed 25 detailed action plans, which contain hundreds of steps. We assigned these plans to leads and co-leads to ensure the action items are carried out. Each lead and co-lead reports on the status of his or her action items to the College through quarterly progress reports. These progress reports include active, completed, in progress, deferred and new steps. To date, we have completed more than 170 action steps and are working toward completing the remaining steps in years four and five of Daniels Tomorrow.
Future StepsIn 2010–2011 we began the first phase of the Daniels Pioneer Engagement Project—a comprehensive effort designed to arm the College with the information, processes, insights and actions needed to fully and meaningfully engage the entire Daniels Pioneer community.
In the first phase, Audience Segmentation, we set out to:
» Clean up, audit and coordinate existing databases» Gather new demographic, psychographic and attitudinal
intelligence on our audiences» Lay the groundwork for data mining and segmenting the
information for maximum returns
Future phases of the project include:
Brand Development » Determine current brand perceptions» Develop a brand platform» Identify our brand essence and promise» Benchmark and test our findings
Messaging Platform » Establish value propositions » Create relevant and engaging messaging for each community
market segment
Engagement and Outreach» Implement strategies and tactics necessary to deliver a relevant
message and experience to the targeted community market segments» Effectively engage our community in the success of the College

The Executive MBA Legacy Endowed Scholarship Fund
Katie Kramer (Executive MBA, 2009) says that a big part of why she co-founded the Executive MBA (EMBA) Legacy Endowed Scholarship Fund is because she personally understands the importance of scholarship support. “It’s a pay-it-forward opportunity in my life,” says Kramer. “I was blessed to receive a Boettcher Scholarship that funded my undergraduate education and also provided financial support for my graduate studies. Now, I want to help others as they pursue their educational goals.”
In 2008, Kramer and her EMBA classmates Chris Cord, John Hogan and Scott Vencill established the scholarship fund. It was their team’s social capital project, and its legacy is carried on by subsequent EMBA cohorts. After the passing of Daniels professor Dr. John Bazley, donors can now give to the fund in his name.
Kramer has dedicated her career to the philanthropic sector, specifically working with higher education. After graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder, she joined the Boettcher Foundation—the organization that awarded her a full undergraduate scholarship. Since 2002, Kramer has served as vice president and assistant executive director of Boettcher.
Her support of Daniels goes beyond financial—she is an executive coach for the EMBA program and mentors EMBA students with their social capital projects. Giving back to her alma mater and community, Kramer says, is just a part of who she is. “Being involved with Daniels is important to me because I enjoy staying connected to the program that was so meaningful in my own life.”
Kramer hopes that future EMBA alumni will contribute to the Executive MBA Scholarship Fund. “Investments in Daniels, small or large, help ensure that the reputation of the College will continue to grow,” she says.

opening Doors to a new career
Daniels Scholarship Recipient Jessica Gu Shares Her Story
At 27 years old, Jessica Gu was quite accomplished. She was running her own public relations business in her home country of China.
But something was missing for Gu. In order to be an effective business leader, she realized that she was needing skills such as finance. Today, she is attending Daniels as a full-time MBA student to further her education and make a career change from marketing to finance.
With the help of a scholarship from the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG), Gu is developing a whole new skill set in finance and entrepreneurship.
“It’s a new door to different work,” says Gu. “It’s a new world because I’m from China. Social networking and communication is much different in the U.S.”
Each year, the Denver chapter of the ACG awards a scholarship to an MBA student from the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver.
ACG-Denver helps Colorado business owners and senior executives navigate the growth business community through valuable content, best-of-class resources, capital formation, and networking and connections with an influential community of executives growing companies locally, statewide and worldwide.
The scholarship supports Gu financially, but she says it’s not about the money. She also receives a full membership to ACG, allowing her to attend ACG professional events such as the monthly luncheon.

“It’s a great opportunity. I’m already creating a personal
relationship with the ACG leadership committee to help other students.”

Phil (MBA 1980; BSBA 1979) and Shelley (BA 1979) Tamminga
Denver natives Phil and Shelley Tamminga each had their own unique path to the University of Denver, the place that holds so many special memories for the couple who met at a hockey game, dated through college and married after graduation.
Growing up a mile from campus, Phil recalls DU hockey games, swimming in the old field house pool and sneaking onto the Pioneers football field as a kid. DU was a family legacy—his grandmother was one of the first women to earn a PhD in education from the University in the 1940s and later taught at the Women’s College. His father earned a business degree; his mother earned her bachelor’s, master’s and PhD degrees in sociology and also taught at DU. Phil received a BSBA, and a graduate teaching assistant position helped him continue on to earn an MBA. For Shelley, a trustee scholarship enabled her to attend DU, joining her brother there. She went on to graduate with a degree in psychology. “That scholarship made DU possible,” she says.
After DU, Phil enjoyed a 24-year career at Accenture, where he got the company involved with Daniels. “I was responsible for Accenture’s recruiting program at Daniels, and I loved that,” says Phil. “I always felt the caliber of Daniels graduates was very high.” In 1998, then-Dean Jim Griesemer invited Phil to join the College’s Executive Advisory Board, on which he still serves. In addition, Phil and Shelley are members and co-chairs of the Dean’s Society—an elite group of Daniels donors who contribute $1,000 or more to the College annually.
“We’ve always been fortunate and feel a responsibility to give back,” says Phil. “Over the years, we’ve been surrounded by others with the same belief, so the practice of giving back is a tenet of our lives. Supporting Daniels is important to us. We benefitted from others’ support of the University before us, and feel we should carry that obligation forward.”

Making the Most of the Danie ls experienceDaniels Scholarship Recipient Jerad Larkin Shares His Story
When Jerad Larkin was looking at colleges, he had three criteria: a great place to live, an excellent university with ample academic options and friendly people. DU and the Daniels College of Business were everything he hoped for and then some.
A lifelong competitive freeskier from upstate New York, Larkin admits that the Rocky Mountains were appealing, but as he nears graduation, it is the quality business education that stands out most.
“When I first came here, I knew I wanted to study business,” says Larkin. “Personal Selling with Michelle Lutz really helped me decide on my path.” Larkin has held his real estate broker’s license in Colorado since 2011 and real estate salesperson’s license in New York since 2008—when he was just 18.
Larkin is likely to pursue real estate, he says, but he’s also an entrepreneur at heart. Currently, he runs his own video-production business, with DU and Daniels as clients. He also has an online amazon.com business.
Receiving the Brandenborg Endowed Scholarship has made a significant difference to Larkin and motivates him to work hard. “I’m making my time here worth every single penny. From getting involved on campus to staying on top of my studies, I do not take DU for granted.”
Every year, Larkin writes letters to his donors, telling them how his year is going and how grateful he is for their support. One day, he says, the tables will be turned. “I believe in giving back to where you came from. When I’m successful, I’ll definitely support DU and Daniels.”
