COMMUNITYI was reflecting recently on the fact that over 80 percent of our

new students chose to attend Walsh because of an endorsement

from friends or family. Further, 85 percent of our graduates

continue to live in Michigan. I think that is remarkable.

And when I look into the audience at commencement, there is

a spirit of undying fortitude and determination in the eyes of our

graduates. The future is within their grasp and to them, success

is not merely judged inwardly. Success is determined as a

community. This creates an energy that is the catalyst for so many

powerful stories of ambition and achievement.

In the following pages, you will read just a few examples of the

Walsh community that I feel define and embody this institution.

For our alums, Walsh is a destination that begins and continues

in this state we love; this place many envision living forever; this

place we call home.

That’s the Walsh story; a story of vision, dedication, and realization.

Warm Regards,

Stephanie W. Bergeron

President & Chief Executive Officer

Create Your Own Scholarship

All endowed and annual scholarships can be made in your name, in

tribute to another, or with the name of your business. The choice is yours.

Creating an endowed scholarship is a wonderful way to leave a legacy for

future generations of Walsh College students. A minimum gift of $25,000

is required to establish an endowed fund. It is not necessary to pay the

full amount at one time, and a payment plan can be created. Gifts of cash

and securities can be applied to the fund, and once it reaches $25,000, it

will be endowed. Beginning the following year, Walsh College will make the

first award. The College will continue to make awards in perpetuity.

Annual Scholarships are also an important funding source for Walsh

College students. Annual scholarships may be named with a gift of

$10,000, paid over one or more years.

For more information, please contact Jill Dunphy at 248.823.1368 or at [email protected].

Investing in a Career

Alan Andreycak: Bachelor of Business

Administration – Finance

While still in high school, Alan Andreycak knew he wanted to go into

finance and that Walsh College, with its focus on business, presented

the best opportunity for his career preparation. The Sterling Heights

resident also reasoned that the combination of an associate’s degree

from Macomb Community College and a bachelor’s degree from Walsh

made economic sense.

Based on his financial need, grade-point

average, and plans to enroll at least half-

time, he qualified for a renewable Walsh

College Alumni Association Endowed

Scholarship. This support makes a

difference to both Andreycak and his

family.

“I can’t begin to thank you enough for

how much this means to me,” he told the Alumni Association Board.

“Every little bit of money that will help me achieve a greater education is

much appreciated.”

With the downturn in the auto industry and instability of his father’s job,

Andreycak didn’t want to burden his family with all the costs of college.

He also didn’t want to have to take out student loans. “With the $800 a

semester from the scholarship I’m able to avoid going into debt,” he said.

Andreycak, who earned top grades at Macomb, finds classes at Walsh

intense because they are packed into an 11-week timeframe as opposed

to the 16-week terms at community college. His studies are going well

and he is enthused about his finance courses in subjects like Financial

Statement Analysis and Investment Management.

“I am a very motivated and driven student,” he said. “I plan to graduate

with honors from Walsh College and excel in my chosen career path.

The scholarship has made my dream of receiving bachelor’s and

master’s degrees in Finance even more of a reality.”

Currently Andreycak works 20 to 30 hours a week in construction for

Roseville-based Distinctive Interiors. “My best friend’s father is my boss

and he understands that for me, school comes first. He lets me work

around my class schedule and adjust my hours if I have to study for a

test. As far as flexibility goes, this is a great arrangement.”

With an ultimate goal of becoming a financial analyst, stockbroker, or

financial advisor, Andreycak hopes to land an internship or part-time job

in the financial services industry while still in school. He’s on track to

graduate with a BBA in Finance in spring 2011.

Keeping Up with Technology

Gail Glick: Bachelor of Science –

Business Information Systems

When Gail Glick graduated from high school she was not of the mindset

to attend college, nor could her family afford it. Instead, she immediately

got an office job in data processing at Kmart headquarters in Troy.

During 25 years there, she worked her way up to systems engineer in

the IT department.

She also became more intent on earning a college degree. But as a

divorced mother of two daughters, having the time and money to go to

school proved challenging. In fits and starts between 1994 and 2003,

she pursued an associate’s degree at Oakland Community College in

Computer Information Systems. It wasn’t until she was laid off and

between jobs that she was finally

able to finish.

Then in 2008, she was ready for

more and chose the Information

Assurance (IA) program at Walsh

College, which is designated by

the U.S. National Security Agency

and the Department of Homeland Security as a Center of Academic

Excellence. “The IA specialty in the Business Information Systems

bachelor’s degree fits my skill set perfectly,” she said. “I’ve been in the IT

field for 30 years, mainly in the WAN, LAN, and network security field.”

Glick found that if she could take at least six credits a semester, she

would be eligible for financial aid and scholarships. This was good news,

since tuition reimbursement from her employer was no longer being

offered. She received a Golf Classic Annual Scholarship covering almost

half of her tuition.

“This scholarship helps make my educational goals possible,” she

said. “I have wanted to finish my undergraduate degree, but as sole

support for two daughters over the past 18 years, I have been financially

prohibited. I am truly grateful for the generous support of donors.”

Like her daughters who are now in college, Glick spends many evenings

and weekends studying. By day she is employed by Compuware in

Professional Services. Currently she is a network engineer assigned full

time to a long-term project at Detroit Public Schools.

Glick will finish her degree in spring 2011, about the same time as her

older daughter, Julie, who is studying music therapy at Eastern Michigan

University, and well before her younger daughter, Emily, who is in the

pre-nursing program at Wayne State University. Her next steps will be to

take some certification exams and seek employment in the information

security field, perhaps related to Homeland Security.

Motivated to Move Up

Vickie Pearcy: Bachelor of Business

Administration – Management

Vickie Pearcy is glad to have her current job as bookkeeper for the five

stores and warehouse of Algonac-based LumberJack Building Centers.

But after 18 years working in receivables and credit departments for

several employers, she has her sights set on new job opportunities in

management and human resources. “I want to spread my wings and

find new and exciting avenues for a more challenging career,” she said.

Although Pearcy went through the criminal justice program at St.

Clair County Community College many years ago, she never worked in

that field. To get the prerequisites for a business

degree, she started over and completed a

general education associate’s degree at Macomb

Community College in December 2009.

“During my first few months at Macomb, academic

advisors and other students told me Walsh College

would be a good place to go for my business

degree. Everyone I talked to – employers, alumni – had good things to

say about its reputation and programs. With those recommendations I

decided on Walsh,” she said.

At age 46, the married mother of two grown daughters knows that time

is of the essence for moving up the career ladder. She has the drive,

determination, and discipline to earn a bachelor’s degree and beyond,

but her financial and family situation present formidable obstacles. Since

2001 when her husband was injured in a car accident, she has been the

sole breadwinner. She also has guardianship of her 12-year-old niece.

Fortunately, donors have made it possible for someone in her situation

to receive funding. The Arthur & Erika Strunk Endowed Scholarship

is given to a student who is employed at least 20 hours a week and

supports at least one dependent child or incapacitated adult.

Not only is Pearcy grateful to the donors, but also

to the Admissions and Academic Advising Office for

helping students find funding. “In going over the tax

forms for my Pell Grant application, the academic

advisor saw that my husband is on Social Security

due to his disability. She immediately made some

calls and within a week a scholarship was approved.

This and the other grant gave me enough to cover tuition. My daughter

advanced me the money for my books, so I was able to start classes this

summer and not wait until fall.

“If I didn’t have the scholarship, I wouldn’t be able to attend Walsh College,”

she said. “I count my blessings every time I walk into the classroom.”7

As professor of Business Communications

and director of the Walsh College Doctor of

Management (DM) in Executive Leadership

program, Linda Hagan, Ph.D., is helping students

and organizations understand the importance of

clear communications.

“Employers and alumni tell us that strong

communication is the number one skill they are

looking for, yet it’s one of the weakest for workers,”

she said. Dr. Hagan’s mission in the undergraduate

classes she teaches is to refine students’ verbal and

written skills.

Coming from a faculty position at Michigan State

University, Dr. Hagan joined the Walsh faculty in

2007 with academic credentials that include a

Ph.D. in Communications with a cognate in Strategic

Management from the University of Maryland.

Additionally, Dr. Hagan has more than 15

years of business experience, primarily in the

automotive industry. Besides working in corporate

communications at Volkswagen and Audi, she was

in the field as a district sales manager for Audi.

For her doctoral dissertation, Dr. Hagan drew

on her experience at Audi during an engine

acceleration crisis during the mid-1980s. She

examined the safety recall and why Audi’s

reputation was damaged while others with the

same problem went unscathed. Because many

in the media referred to the crisis as a PR black

mark for Audi, Dr. Hagan focused her study on

how a tarnished reputation affects stakeholder

relationships, and ultimately the bottom line.

Dr. Hagan challenges doctoral students in her

Leadership and Strategic Communication course

to examine how transformational leaders can

effectively lead internal change and be ready to

meet the demands of a business world under

constant scrutiny by external stakeholders. Students

debate how to best communicate an organization’s

vision, use social media, and manage crises.

“That’s what makes Walsh College’s doctoral

program different from others,” she said. “We are

shaping candidates to be scholar-practitioners,

exposing students to theory and challenging them

to think decisively, yet integrating application

through applied research.”

The Higher Learning Commission granted approval

to offer the doctoral program in 2006 and the

first cohort was accepted in 2007. Currently, 25

students are enrolled in the intensive, part-time

program designed for working professionals who

seek careers as leaders, consultants, or educators.

The program takes four to six years to complete.

“It’s rigorous and meant for those who are

dedicated to contributing to the body of knowledge

in leadership and management,” Dr. Hagan said.

“Walsh’s DM program expands the intellectual

capital of the College by allowing our faculty

and students to serve as a resource for both the

scholarly and broader professional community.

Everyone benefits,” she said.

In whose footsteps do children of a classically

trained pianist mother and a distinguished lawyer

father follow?

In Assistant Professor Daniel Hoops’ case, he and

his siblings took piano lessons, mastered a wind

instrument, and majored in music in college. Five

out of the six children went on to law school.

Hoops earned a Bachelor of Musical Arts degree in

trumpet performance at the University of Michigan

and then a JD at the Detroit College of Law at

Michigan State University. He sought advanced

training at the University of Miami to specialize in

taxation with a Master of Laws (LLM).

While still in law school, he and his older brother

helped their father author multi-volume reference

books published by the legal and regulatory

information division of Thomson Reuters. Meeting

deadlines to update new editions of “Planning for

Estates and Administration in Michigan” and the

“Family Estate Planning Guide” has kept him from

taking the Fourth of July holiday off ever since.

Also like his father, Hoops started teaching as an

adjunct at Detroit College of Law-MSU and in the

graduate program in taxation at Cooley Law School.

Walsh Business Law and Taxation Department

Chair Mark Solomon soon approached him about

joining the Walsh adjunct staff.

“I was used to the law school environment and

the peculiarities of law students, but the moment I

started teaching a class at Walsh, I instantly fell in

love with the business school. This is a real-world

environment with the kind of students I’d been

looking to find,” he said.

He admits the Walsh taxation program is very

demanding. “When people hire a Walsh grad, they

know what they are getting, not someone who got

pushed through the system. We make our students

earn what they get.”

With his experience in business law, ethics, and

estate planning, Hoops draws from real cases and

dilemmas people have faced, all while maintaining

client confidentiality.

“I try to make it real life and as practical as

possible for every student. You need to learn the

rules, but you also need to know how to read a

situation and apply the rules.”

He brings a talent for making complex issues

understandable and approachable to the

classroom and his business column on law in the

Novi News, his hometown paper.

Students describe Hoops as “brilliant,” “engaging,”

and “challenging, but entertaining.” They

appreciate his mentoring and know that he wants

them to succeed.

Accounting Adjunct Instructor Modou Ceesay, CPA,

is from Gambia, the smallest country in Africa.

Since coming to the U.S. in 2000, he has earned

an Accounting degree (‘04) and MBA (‘09) from

Walsh College. He also has gained experience at a

regional accounting firm and now works at one of

the largest global corporations.

It’s been an arduous, but rewarding, journey made

possible by his perseverance, sacrifice, and the

good wishes of his family far away.

Ceesay’s father understood the importance of

education and borrowed money for a plane ticket

so his academically talented son could go to

college in the United States. With student visa in

hand but little money in his pocket, Ceesay landed

in New York, stayed with a family friend, and

worked at a car wash in Brooklyn until he earned

enough to move somewhere less expensive.

He came to Wixom, Mich., because that’s where

the only other fellow Gambian he knew lived.

He enrolled at Oakland Community College in

Business Administration and got a job at the

neighborhood Applebee’s restaurant.

For the next four years, he went to school full-

time – Monday through Thursday – and worked

full-time, usually by putting in 16-hour days at the

restaurant on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. He

had to pay the bills, cover tuition, and send money

home to his family in Africa.

He chose Walsh College for the well-regarded

Accounting program, but also because there was

a monthly payment plan and the international

student fee was less than at state universities.

At Walsh, Ceesay excelled in accounting to the

point that he found himself tutoring other students.

He became active in student government and

served as president of the International Student

Club. Walsh Accounting Department Chair Rick

Berschback mentored him and gave him advice

about career decisions.

“It was a very happy day when I graduated and

got the job on the audit staff of Plante & Moran.

Two years later I was hired by General Motors in

corporate accounting and realized my dream of

working for an international company,” Ceesay said.

A top student, Ceesay passed the CPA exam on

the first try and then enrolled in the MBA program

at Walsh. He graduated in June 2009, but couldn’t

break the habit of going to evening classes. Now

he’s at the front of the room teaching what he

loves. Like the other adjunct faculty, he shares his

real-world work experience with students.

Dave Petoskey (BBA ’90) is a booster for all of

the alumni events that support scholarships at

Walsh College.

Acknowledging that his BBA in Finance and

Marketing gave him a solid background for

starting his own investment firm in 1995,

Petoskey says involvement in alumni activities

helped his business grow through networking and

referrals. Today, he is a top producer in the LPL

Finance network which supports entrepreneurial

financial advisors.

His volunteer service started on graduation day

when he was asked to help at the 1990 Alumni

Association Golf Outing. He accepted because he

thought it would be a fun and unintimidating way

to get involved and meet people.

“Volunteering became an extension of my Walsh

education and taught me how to network and

interact with leaders in the community while

working together for a common cause,” he said.

His seamless transition from student to alumni

volunteer led to serving on committees, then

chairing committees, appointment to the President’s Advisory Council, and to ultimately being

elected a trustee of the College. In 2007, he was recognized as a Distinguished Alumnus for his

service and career success.

Petoskey puts his skills and boundless energy to use on advisory committees and in fundraising

roles because he wants Walsh College to maintain high standards, grow in stature, and meet the

changing employment needs of southeast Michigan.

“Supporting Walsh helps build southeast Michigan and the type of student coming into the

marketplace. Most Walsh students are entrenched in the community and stay here after

graduation,” he said.

Fun in FundraisingSince Walsh doesn’t have sports teams, Petoskey views alumni activities as the venue for social

engagement and staying connected. He and his firm support the three main social events that

raise funds for scholarships and other resources that will keep Walsh on top.

“The spring Wine Gala and summer Golf Outing provide something that is fun and at the same

time, a way of helping Walsh students,” he said. “The next level up is the Leadership Awards

Dinner, the black-tie event held in November to honor community leaders and alumni.

“If we don’t keep doing these types of events, many students won’t be able to afford a Walsh

education,” he said. “Scholarships are important for students who aren’t getting subsidies from

their employers. The more we can raise, the more students will be able to benefit from a Walsh

education.”

Jeff Groen attributes his success, in large part,

to the Bachelor of Accountancy (’76) and Master

of Science in Taxation (’81) he received from

Walsh College.

“Walsh taught me that if you get a proper

foundation, you can take charge of your life and

career. Obtaining a professional license, a CPA,

put me in the driver’s seat to build a business

and be in control,” he said.

“Also, the study skills I acquired at Walsh served

me well when I was pursuing my private pilot

license and the IFR rating, as well as earning my

AICPA business valuation and financial forensics

credentials,” he acknowledged.

The accounting firm he formed in 1984 offers

full-service financial consulting ranging from

taxation, accounting, and auditing to litigation

services and wealth management. Groen

provides valuations of entities and partnerships;

litigation support; tax research, planning, and

preparation; corporate reorganization; and

management consultation.

He says the Walsh master’s degree in Taxation is what catapulted his CPA practice and is why

he stayed in public accounting. Groen was valedictorian of his post-graduate class and won the

Everett Hawley Taxation Award. This gave him confidence and the clout and expertise to advise

clients when he was only 28.

“I’m happy to give back to the Taxation program because it drove my success,” he said. To

propel the next generation of students in the tax field, Groen served as an adjunct faculty

member for eight years. He also directed a major gift to the tax side of the world-class Walsh

College Library.

Accounting Firm CampaignOne of the annual activities Groen supports is the Accounting Firm Campaign, which raises

money for scholarships, technology upgrades, enhancements to the Library, and other resources

needed to meet the changing education needs of the business market.

For more than a decade, Groen, Kluka & Company has been one of the regional accounting firms

that gives the College an opportunity to personally connect with alumni employees at Annual

Fund solicitation time.

“We get 100 percent participation by alums at our firm,” Groen said. “They all feel they got a good

education at Walsh and want to help out. It’s hard for many students to make a Walsh education

happen on their own without financial aid. We, as alums, have a responsibility to help out.”

Craig J. Roshak, CPA, (Bachelor of Accountancy

’82) is one of the key alumni volunteers

committed to supporting and strengthening the

value of a Walsh degree.

Roshak joined Coopers & Lybrand (now

PricewaterhouseCoopers) in 1983 with his newly

minted Accounting degree. He spent the next

12 years there, primarily in the audit practice,

assisting large multinational corporations. He left to

join Kmart’s turnaround team as head of internal

audit in 1995, and then joined Chrysler in 1998,

just as the Daimler merger was taking place.

Roshak chose Walsh College for the high-caliber

instruction and its reputation as one of the top

schools for accounting. “I chose the hardest

professors,” he said. “I knew it would be tough,

but I’m very glad I did.”

Walsh is where he met his wife, Cathy Clark,

who earned her BBA in Finance in 1981.

She is senior vice president responsible for

all acquisitions and dispositions at Ramco-

Gershenson Properties Trust.

“I have an interest in making sure Walsh continues to grow and improve because it reflects on

the quality of previous graduates. It also impacts the caliber of potential graduates coming into

the southeast Michigan workplace,” he added.

“Over the years, I’ve hired several Walsh students. I know their preparation – the combination of

practical and theoretical education that Walsh students get. I know the demands, and that the

students are well-grounded.”

Philanthropy in the Classroom

Roshak believes that philanthropy is critically important at a private educational institution. A

year ago, he and fellow Foundation board members created the Philanthropy in the Classroom

program to expose students to the concept and how it relates to them now and in the future.

Each semester Foundation directors, College trustees, and Alumni Association board members

visit classrooms to give short presentations. They tell students about their background and why

they are engaged with Walsh. They talk about giving back, the importance of philanthropy, and

how it benefits all students.

“We encourage the students to get involved in some way, to support events, to volunteer, and

ultimately become a donor when they have the means to do so. Giving back is what makes our

community vibrant.”

A powerful collaboration with a national

foundation is bringing Walsh College to the

forefront of entrepreneurial education and

positioning it as an innovative player in

Michigan’s economic revitalization.

In April, the charitable foundation of The

Blackstone Group named Walsh College

and Wayne State University as recipients

of its first major grant to help students

learn entrepreneurial skills and start new

businesses. The initial $2-million grant to

establish Blackstone LaunchPads at two metro

Detroit sites is part of a five-year, $50-million

commitment by the New York-based investment

firm to drive business creation and spur

economic recovery in hard-hit regions.

Blackstone targeted southeast Michigan as

the perfect lab for developing high-growth

businesses because of the region’s high

unemployment and the need to replace jobs lost

by the downturn in the auto industry. Supporting

the Blackstone effort is the New Economy

Initiative (NEI) for southeast Michigan, a

consortium of 10 local and national foundations

working to accelerate metro Detroit’s transition to

an innovation-based economy.

NEI will work with Walsh to build a local network

of entrepreneur mentors and venture coaches

and will sponsor shared events. The regional

philanthropic group has set aside its own

funding to centrally coordinate services and

evaluate LaunchPad projects.

How It Works …As a free, non-credit program, the Blackstone

LaunchPad offers an educational career path

for aspiring entrepreneurs. A resource center,

constructed at the Troy campus in a renovated

space across from the cafeteria and adjacent

to the bookstore, began operation in fall term

2010. The business creation program will also

be available at the Novi campus.

Students and alumni can test the marketability

of their startup ideas, develop a business

plan, and go through the legal process of

trademarking or copyrighting an idea and

incorporating a business. Providing contacts

and connections, the LaunchPad is also a place

for new entrepreneurs to find mentors, build

a board of directors, recruit employees, and

network with possible investors.

Entrepreneurial Education Entrepreneurial education is a strategic Walsh

focus. And the LaunchPad program is the

first important initiative of The Walsh Institute,

which was formed in the fall of 2010 to find

ways to accelerate growth in Michigan through

education, innovation, collaboration, and

entrepreneurship.

“The Blackstone LaunchPad encourages

and promotes entrepreneurship as a viable

career option and ignites interest, encourages

exploration, and helps recruit entrepreneurs,”

said Michelle Lange, Walsh Institute director. “It

fulfills a key education obligation: to teach not just

how to find a job, but also how to make a job.”

“Walsh College is a natural fit for LaunchPad to

change the dynamics of how Michigan develops

entrepreneurial talent,” Walsh College President

and CEO Stephanie Bergeron said. “We see

an unending collective energy in Detroit, and

our trustees and faculty are committed to help

the region rebuild. In surveys we have found

that our students are interested in going the

entrepreneurial route and are asking for support.”

Karen Rhoda, Ph.D., dean of the Walsh College

Division of Online Learning, said today’s

businesses and industry have an ongoing need

to provide knowledge and skill-building courses

for their employees.

“Online learning is the delivery mechanism that

will enable many employees to acquire core

competencies and remain current in their area

of expertise,” she said.

The employee training partnership with Walsh

grew out of a longstanding relationship with

Burns & Wilcox Chairman, President, and

CEO Alan Jay Kaufman, JD. His Farmington

Hills-based company is one of North America’s

largest independent wholesaler brokers and

managing underwriters, with 37 offices across

the United States and one in London.

Convenient Classes

For many companies like Burns & Wilcox, it’s

not feasible for branch office employees to

convene at headquarters for classroom training.

“With an online class, location and scheduling

aren’t obstacles,” said Beth Gardiner, Burns

& Wilcox director of education, training and

development. ”We can offer 24/7 access to

everyone.”

Classes are being delivered through Walsh

College’s Course Management System and

facilitated by a Burns & Wilcox instructor.

Based on the response Gardiner received

from a pilot class, online courses provide the

convenience students want. “When we sent the

e-mail about registering, the 25 spots filled in

less than 30 minutes,” Gardiner said. “We now

have a waiting list for it and the next course to

be rolled out.”

Walsh is working with Burns & Wilcox to design

online courses toward certificates in general

insurance as well as certificates in life insurance

required for the Associate in Surplus Lines

Insurance industry designation.

The Walsh instructional design team worked

with Burns & Wilcox subject matter expert and

trainer Steve Hoppens to convert his face-to-

face instruction into a multimedia voice-over

format. The online version covers 10 lessons

of weekly lectures, practice activities, and

discussion.

Within the weekly timeframe, employee learners

can schedule classes around their work

requirements and family obligations. Walsh

designed the courses so that employees can

receive instructor feedback and respond to

discussions without having to be online at the

same time.

Positive Feedback

“We also designed the online course with a lot

of exercises – matching, crossword puzzles, and

fill-in-the blanks – or some activity every week

to test the students’ knowledge,” Gardiner said.

“The students in the pilot loved them and felt

they were helpful in the learning process.”

Through online discussion boards, students

learn from each other and hear varying points of

view. “They liked forming relationships with their

co-workers across the country and bantering

back and forth when the instructor or students

presented an opinion,” Gardner added.

Those who successfully complete the online

courses are eligible to sit for certification exams

administered by the American Institute of

Certified Property Casualty Underwriters.

According to Gardiner, 60 percent of the pilot

class graduates took the certification exam soon

after the class ended – and passed.

When the Jeffery W. Barry Center on the Troy campus was awarded its

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification in

June 2010, Walsh College became one of only six Michigan schools to

date to go beyond the basic certification and silver level to win gold.

“While new construction projects in public colleges and universities

are required to meet minimum standards of sustainable design, we

voluntarily complied because we think it’s important to be good stewards of our

common resources,” said Christine Stout, Walsh College director of Facilities and

Auxiliary Services.

“Originally we were aiming just to be certified, but we found ways to meet the

requirements for silver without expending extra resources,” Stout said. “We struck

gold by exceeding expectations for efficiency and energy savings.”

Back in 2005 while drafting the master facility plan, the College leadership decided

to construct a 37,000-square-foot addition utilizing sustainable design and building

practices. Walsh College retained Valerio DeWalt Train Associates of Chicago, the

architect firm that had designed a shining example in the community, the LEED

platinum-rated Kresge Foundation Headquarters in Troy.

The $10.5-million environmentally sustainable building that resulted was named

after the late Jeffery W. Barry, Walsh College president from 1970 to 1991. He

oversaw the 1970 construction of the Troy campus and four subsequent expansions.

The Barry Center opened for classes in January 2008. However, LEED certification

could not be determined until the building systems had been put to the test. The

architect, contractor, and consultants had to submit energy savings and efficiency

calculations for the U.S. Green Building Council to review.

Design Challenges The LEED program evaluates

new construction on elements

related to sustainable sites,

water efficiency, energy

and atmosphere, materials

and resources, and indoor

environmental quality as well as innovation of design.

Walsh faced some unique challenges in earning top certification

for the new two-level classroom building, which includes the

Library, auditorium, conference rooms, and marketing focus

group facilities. To gain maximum points, many “green”

buildings are designed with 90 percent of the space using

natural light. That strategy doesn’t work for a school that holds

most of its classes at night.

In fact, the architects minimized the number and size of

windows in the second floor classrooms. Instead, they put

twice the usual amount of insulation in the walls and roof, and

thereby gained extra points for energy savings. They made use

of “daylighting” techniques in the Library on the first floor by

installing floor-to-ceiling windows and light sensors.

The designers created bioswales to turn the parking lots into a

high-efficiency water filtration system that captures and filters

seven million gallons of water each year before it is recharged

into the water supply.

Visible and Invisible FeaturesOnly a few features of the Barry Center’s sustainable design are

actually visible. The first thing visitors do notice is the absence

of manicured lawns. The sustainable landscaping relies on

native plants that require no irrigation system, saving 825,000

gallons of water per year.

The neighboring subdivision isn’t affected by light pollution

because Walsh reduced site disturbance by exceeding local

zoning requirements for open space and by beaming parking

lot lights downward.

“Indoors, you might spot the multiple recycling containers

that are part of the new campus-wide recycling program or

detect the occupancy sensors that turn on lights and control

temperature,” Stout said. “But the recycled materials and

environmentally safe products used, such as the terrazzo floors

made with 20,000 pounds of recycled glass, look no different

than their traditional counterparts.”

“What you don’t see,” Stout added, “is how the building

gets 70 percent of its power from renewable resources, uses

energy-efficient building insulation, and converts waste heat

into electricity. Also, energy-efficient plumbing reduces potable

water use by 40 percent.”

Green EducationThe eco-friendly design of the Barry Center also provides a teaching tool that shows

the way construction is headed in the future. In the corridor connecting the Barry

Center to the existing campus, Pewabic-tiled panels give students and visitors an

overview of the environmental features and how they work.

Using the Barry Center as a case study, students in economics classes consider

the cost-benefit decisions that go into building green. “It was about 10 percent

more expensive at the front end for Walsh, but will cost less to operate and

maintain because of the energy and water efficiency,” Stout said. “The payback

comes in about five to seven years.”

From going to classes in a green building, students see that it’s possible to

incorporate sustainable design and be eco-friendly without sacrificing comfort,

losing instructional quality, or incurring burdensome cost. Their positive experience

and newly acquired mindset can carry over into their workplaces and influence

construction projects in the future.

Giving to the Walsh College Foundation

The Walsh College Foundation was established to encourage private giving and to ensure the integrity of the philanthropy program.

community through educated individuals.

There are a number of ways that you can support the Walsh College Foundation. You can direct your gift to student scholarships, programs,

and facilities immediately through a contribution to the Annual Fund, or you can contact our Development staff to discuss creating a specific

scholarship or program.
