v. 2.16

Every component of the campaign is designed to impact our mission and enhance the overall student experience by sharpening WMAC’s competitive edge and bolstering our efforts to recruit and retain students, engage parents and foster alumni pride.

Academic Environment $ 1,455,000 A dynamic learning environment is essential to a first class education. Our campaign reflects this priority by providing the facilities our students deserve. We will assure their success by major enhancements to our classrooms, science laboratories, library and Chapel.

Residential Life Facilities $ 4,600,000 WMAC’s 360 degree educational experience relies heavily on a robust residential life component. A major transformation of Sanford-Sellers and East Barracks will amplify the impact of classroom instruction by creating an environment conducive to holistic informal learning and student interactions.

Athletic Complex $ 2,676,000 By broadening WMAC’s sports offerings, we are reinforcing an essential dimension of our ‘whole person’ educational experience. The addition of artificial turf will accommodate our growing sports program. And, with the field house approaching its 50th anniversary, upgraded lighting, bleachers and indoor track enhancements will secure its place as the hub of our physical fitness program.

Campus Infrastructure $ 2,751,000 Good stewardship demands our vigilance in managing the institution’s operating costs. Energy is one of our largest budget items and we recognize the need for a comprehensive management tool to shrink our environmental footprint, optimize efficiency, and reduce expenditures. In addition, we must employ emerging technologies to streamline WMAC’s campus information systems. This campaign component also ensures the restoration of Norma Maring Hall and addresses pedestrian and automobile safety by upgrading campus hardscapes.

Endowment $ 1,779,000 Our commitment to long term financial stability is evidenced by the establishment of perpetual funds to support the costs of campus operations and academic programs.

Scholarship Fund $ 6,400,000 Wentworth’s time honored tradition insists that we never turn our back on a comrade in need. Our scholarships provide worthy students with the educational opportunity to achieve lifelong success. To accommodate the growth associated with this project, the Annual Fund for the next three years is integrated into the overall campaign goal.

CAMPAIGN GOALS (preliminary)

February 9, 2016

Name Company Address

City, State, Zip

Dear First Name:

Wentworth Military Academy and College is recognized for 136 years of excellence in

educating and training leaders of character. With students from 25 states and 14 countries,

we are uniquely positioned to provide a holistic leadership program that prepares young

men and women for global service. Our students, past and present, are our credentials and

we are proud to have trained some of the country’s finest business, political and military

leaders (see enclosure).

Our distinguished board and dedicated staff have a bold vision for the future. We must

strategically position Wentworth to provide the dynamic leaders that the future demands. This vision will perpetuate our heritage of success and our commitment to supporting students in reaching their potential in academics, leadership, physical well-being, moral

character and self-discipline.

In order to make this vision a reality we must embark on a historic fundraising campaign.

We have engaged the consulting firm of Stroman & Associates to conduct a marketplace

analysis to help in the planning of this project. Their representative, Kent Stroman, will

call in a few days to schedule a 40 minute, in person interview to record your confidential

comments and seek your opinions about the specific components of our plan. Sharing your

thoughts will provide indispensable help in our planning phase. We realize your time is

valuable but we ask for this brief appointment on your calendar so we may gather

information essential to the campaign.

We have enclosed additional information concerning the project for your review. Please

take a few minutes to review the enclosures with special attention to the Campaign Goals.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Sincerely,

Regis G. McDonald Michael Lierman Board Chair President

v. 2.9

CASE STATEMENT

Since 1880, Wentworth Military Academy and College has been the place for emerging leaders

to position themselves for success. Wentworth is unwavering in its commitment to uphold the

values of respect, honor, integrity, duty and teamwork. Today’s students, just like those that

came before them, learn the time honored lessons of leadership and leave with the tools

necessary to achieve the honorable in an ever changing world.

Wentworth is the oldest military academy west of the Mississippi River and one of only five

military focused two-year colleges in the United States. As a private four-year college

preparatory high school and two year college, the institution features an Army ROTC program

through which students can earn a commission as a Second Lieutenant. The institution prides

itself on a 360 degree education, developing students’ full potential in academics, leadership,

physical well-being, moral character, and self-discipline. We also provide a multi-faceted

athletics program and an integrated campus environment that allows students to supplement their

high school education by gaining college credit.

Wentworth is intentionally positioning itself to have an even greater impact on our changing

world. Today’s environment is complicated and depends on an educated workforce to provide

global leadership, critical thinking and ethical values. We must leverage our historical strengths

to stay ahead of the curve. Our track record of success uniquely positions Wentworth to train

highly skilled leaders who address today’s challenges with integrity.

Simply stated, our world needs the type of leaders Wentworth provides. To answer the call and

realize our potential, we must build our capacity and make a greater impact. We must reach

more young people! Our facilities, while once adequate, must be expanded and enhanced to

attract and serve a growing student body. This must include not only our residential life and

academic facilities but also the athletic facilities that serve as the training location for our

growing athletic programs. We must also pair these facility expansions with a scholarship fund

capable of ensuring that deserving students and their families can access what we provide. This

exciting endeavor will be complemented by Wentworth’s first significant effort to establish long-

term educational funding resources through the establishment of an endowment fund.

Today’s world deserves more of the high caliber leaders Wentworth has historically produced.

The Wentworth family stands united in its commitment to a brighter tomorrow. This campaign

will touch every aspect of our campus from academic facilities and residential life to

scholarships and athletics! It is time to elevate our reach! Our vision is bold. The need is great.

We will rise to the call. Will you stand shoulder to shoulder with us?

February 16, 2016

For: Board of Trustees

Subject: Summary of College accreditation status with the Higher Learning Commission (HLC)

1. The HLC placed Wentworth Military Academy and College (WMAC) on Probation in

November 2015. WMAC will undergo another Comprehensive Evaluation on 10, 11, 12 April,

2017. Based upon the results of this evaluation, the HLC Board of Trustees will decide, at its

November 2017 meeting, whether to remove WMAC from Probation.

2. During the period of Probation, WMAC is required to submit an Interim Report to the HLC at

the beginning of each academic semester. The Interim Report must “communicate the College’s

financial position at that time.”

3. WMAC completed and submitted the first Interim Report to the HLC on 12 February. The

report included detailed financial statements and cash flow reports (compiled, expeditiously, by

Glenn Miller). The report also addressed the concerns raised by the HLC in its letter placing

WMAC on Probation. Highlights of the Interim Report include:

a. As of 31 December 2015, WMAC had achieved a 30% reduction in the amount of

money owed to accounts past due 60+ days compared to December 31, 2014. Over the same

period cash reserves increased from approximately $72K to $355K.

b. The new Vice President for Advancement has made significant progress in expanding

the donor base, especially in the area of new and lapsed donors.

c. Detailed planning has been conducted for the Capital Campaign. A consultant has been

hired and the Feasibility Study is underway (funded by the Board of Trustees).

d. WMAC is no longer on heightened cash monitoring by the Department of Education

(verification document from the Department of Education submitted with Interim Report).

e. Planning for development of a stable cash reserve has become a priority for WMAC.

f. WMAC has conducted initial coordination with its current bank to address the $2.2

million debt balloon payment due in 2019.

4. The new HLC Liaison, Dr. Anthea Sweeney, has accepted WMAC’s invitation to visit campus

and is scheduled to visit on 3 March.

1. What cost containment measures do we plan to put in place to lessen the end of year budget

shortfall?

Stop all non-essential spending through May 31, 2016. Postpone all maintenance possible.

Potential savings $50-100k.

Delay filling vacancies until May 31. Potential savings $5-25k.

Borrow an additional $125k against the line of credit and/or postpone repayment of the

current $375k on the line of credit to a later date. Potential savings $125-500k.

Delay other accounts payable payments based on remaining shortfall.

Orchestrate a solid launch of a spring fundraising campaign and garner donations in May.

With exception of delayed payables and spring donations, the above-listed measures have

the potential to close the projected shortfall gap completely or draw it down to the range of

$420k. Drawing against the line of credit and delaying repayment of it postpones a financial

obligation but can close the shortfall significantly.

2. What is our plan to reach 90 Camp LEAD Cadets? 147 college cadets for Fall 2016? 95 high

school cadets for Fall 2016?

program.

New Camp LEAD video on our website.

Contacting JROTC units in Missouri and surrounding states promoting our camp.

o New admissions recruiter with 18 years experience in Junior College Athletic

Recruiting.

o Recruiting ongoing for next year in volleyball, soccer, basketball, and wrestling.

o Adding women’s wrestling for 16-17

SROTC

o Limited ability to expand beyond contracting goal of 30 cadets each academic

High School Recruiting

International recruiting continues with Cambridge and other agents.

3. What have we accomplished within the Strategic Plan since it was approved in July 2015?

A semi-annual strategic plan update is not due until March in order to be ready for presentation

at the April BoT meeting. Initial reports from the responsible staff leads have been requested

for submission to me by 25 FEB 2016. I will not have that information available prior to the 18

FEB conference call.

4. Does Ruffalo Noel-Levitz have enrollment projections for 2016-17 for high school, college, and

commuters?

No. Enrollment projections by RNL are contingent upon historical enrollment and financial aid

data we provide them. Contractually, RNL cannot develop a “four-year enrollment and net

revenue projection model” without valid, accurate data provided by Wentworth. Currently our

campus database does not provide a valid 3-year history of data necessary to develop such

projections. Two of RNL’s consultants are working with our staff in order to clean up the

historical data and properly configure our current, existing database.

5. Does Ruffalo Noel-Levitz have tried & true measures to meet these enrollment goals?

Yes but it is contingent upon development of realistic projections (see #5) and Wentworth’s

ability to take action on their recommendations.

6. What enrollment figure was used for this year’s current budget?

This year’s budget was based on a boarding cadet enrollment of 265. For the coming year I have

given guidance to plan a budget based on 230. This is partially a result of criticism from the HLC

for not making realistic budget projections for several prior years—i.e. planning for 265, not

reaching it several years in a row yet continuing to use it as a planning factor.

7. What did last year’s Spring Campaign raise as compared to the year before?

Raised about $19,000. This was up from about $13,000 the year before even though we cut

expenses by 75%. 19% of the donors were new or lapsed donors.

HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL’S BOARD REPORT

Wentworth High School is gearing up for a Review from AdvancED, as a review

team will visit our campus on on March 7, 8 and 9. AdvancED is a branch of the

North Central Accreditation Association, and they are the organization that

accredits our high school. They visit and evaluate each member school every 5

years. The high school administration and Faculty have spent countless hours

preparing for the review, and we are currently in the process of completing our

comprehensive Self Study.

Our high school JROTC department was reviewed a couple of weeks ago by the 3rd

Brigade ROTC Staff, which reviews all high school ROTC programs in a large

geographical area. Our high school department received 96 out of a possible 100

points which puts our department either at the very top or near the top of all high

school ROTC departments in this area.

Over the Christmas Break, the Wentworth maintenance staff, along with some

outside contractors, completely renovated and remodeled 3 classrooms on the

main floor of the Scholastic Building. This makes a total of 4 rooms that have

been remodeled within the last year. All of the remodeled rooms have new floor

tile, new drop ceilings, improved lighting, improved heating and cooling systems,

new trim, freshly painted walls, new blinds and new classroom furniture. We have

also added more technology features, as we have added new

whiteboards/smartboards, new overhead projectors, and new document cameras

in each of the remodeled rooms. We have received many positive comments on

the remodeling project. This project would not have been possible without the

support of many Wentworth alumni, and a special thanks to Doug Gourlay and

Marnie Morgan for spearheading the project.

Josh Shealy, one of our seniors, recently received the Douglas MacArthur award

for outstanding leadership and character. Josh, along with Jarek Brown, who is

our Student Council President, both qualified for the State Wrestling tournament

that is being held this weekend in Columbia.

Carrie Cotter who is a junior this year recently scored a 33 on the ACT test. This

puts Carrie in the 99th percentile of all students who take the ACT. This score is

extra special since Carrie is only a junior. This is her second year in our high

school.

This winter, we have webcast quite a few Wentworth athletic contests, as well as

other campus activities. During the Winter season, we have webcast over 25

different events, with most of them having both audio and video features. This is

especially meaningful to many parents who live a long distance from Wentworth,

because this gives them the opportunity to watch their son or daughter in action.

This past grading period over 50% of our high school students made either the

President’s List or the Honor Roll
