e n d o w m e n t s The Rose State College Foundation currently has seven endowments invested through the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. Annual earnings are utilized to provide an extra measure of excellence to programming for the College. For Fiscal Year 2006, earnings of $80,000 were distributed to the seven endowment accounts. The W.P. “Bill” & Rubye Atkinson History Center Endowment was established when the Rose State College Foundation accepted the donation of the W.P. “Bill” & Rubye Atkinson property from the Living Historical Center of Central Oklahoma Trust in 2004. This property includes the Atkinson home and grounds valued at $1.7 million. Atkinson had a passion for history, and during his lifetime he established the Center as a vehicle to preserve the history of Central Oklahoma. Interest from the endowment is used to maintain the Atkinson Heritage Center. In fiscal year 2006, there were 30 group tours of the Center, and more than 12 community groups utilized the conference facilities, including the Midwest City Rotary Club, Leadership Midwest City and Midwest Regional Medical Center. In addition to community groups, Rose State College Students and staff, as well as the Rose State College Foundation, enjoyed use of the property on many occasions. Modest rental fees, donations-in-kind, and monetary donations contributed to the maintenance and success of this historical community event center. The Hudiburg Endowment for Student Services was established by Jean Hudiburg and Paul Hudiburg to serve at-risk high school students in the Mid-Del Schools to encourage continued education. The Hudiburg family has been an important part of the Midwest City business community since the 1950s. The dedication and hard work exhibited by the Hudiburg family sets an example for all. Establishment of the Hudiburg Endowment is not the first effort of the family to support education. The Hudiburg family provides scholarships annually to Mid-Del students and participates in programs to encourage postsecondary education. The RSC Connection Program provides a counselor to work with identified students as a teacher and a mentor. Students receive special workshops, visits to the College campus, and one-on-one mentoring. Jon Foppe’s Diamond Leadership presentation on November 16, 2005, was funded through the Reynolds Lectureship. The Don S. Reynolds Lectureship was established by friends and family to honor former Regent Don S. Reynolds. It provides funding for guest speakers and lecturers for the campus and community. Regent Reynolds held the longest tenure for a college regent in Oklahoma, with 29 consecutive years of service. During his tenure he served as Chairman twice and was a driving force for the continued development of excellence at Rose State College. Due to his focus on people, and in particular students, the Student Services building was named the Don S. Reynolds Building. Vince Orza’s presentation was one of three BizWiz events in fiscal year 2006, which is funded by the Ray M. Hardin/Kelly and Kevin Miller Endowment for Small Business Education. Rose State Regent Ray M. Hardin established this endowment in 2001 to provide funding to assist small businesses in 26 Rose State College Foundation: Annual Report | 2005-2006
