ASU Founders’ Day Gary & Jeanne Herberger
Philanthropists of the Year:
Gary & Jeanne Herberger ’89 B.A., ’95 M.A., ’00 Ph.D.
Jeanne and Gary Herberger epitomize the art and heart of philanthropy. Individually and together, the couple has contributed nearly $28 million to the development of Arizona State University over the past 30 years. Most recently, the couple’s generosity established the Young Scholars Academy for gifted children at the West campus of ASU.
Jeanne, a three-time alumna of ASU’s Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, is an avid arts supporter and advocate. She served on the most recent dean selection panel at the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts and is a member of the Dean’s Leadership Cabinet, which provides strategic planning and advising. She is a founding Women & Philanthropy investor at the ASU Foundation for a New American University.
Gary comes from a legacy of support for ASU, where he and his family have made more than 100 investments benefitting scholarships and programs in the colleges of the arts, business, public programs and design.
He is a long-standing supporter of the ASU College of Design, now named the Design School within ASU’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, and has been a strong advocate and advisor for the creation of ASU’s Master of Real Estate Development program.
ASU Founders’ Day Randall McDaniel
Alumni Achievement Award: Randall McDaniel ’02 B.S.
McDaniel’s athletic prowess became evident early in his life. He was a three-year varsity football and basketball starter at Agua Fria High School in Avondale, Ariz. At ASU, he played on the Sun Devils offensive line and was named a First Team All-America pick in 1986 and 1987. He was later named to ASU’s All-Century Team.
McDaniel spent 14 years in the National Football League, playing for the Minnesota Vikings and for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He earned a record-setting 12 consecutive Pro Bowl selections and has been inducted into the National Football Foundation’s College Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
McDaniel retired from professional football in 2001 and immediately began working full-time as a basic skills instructor in Robbinsdale, Minn., area schools. He currently works in a similar capacity in second grade special education in the Westonka Minnesota Public Schools.
His volunteer efforts include operating Team McDaniel, a middle-school program that empowers students to make a difference in their communities through volunteerism.
ASU Founders’ Day Stephan Teglas
Alumni Achievement Award: Stephen Teglas ’89 B.S.
Stephen Teglas is being honored for his visionary work with The Walt Disney Co. and his contributions to a pioneering partnership between the company and ASU.
Teglas joined the Disney Store in 1993. He became vice president/general manager of Fashion & Home for Disney Consumer Products, North America, in 2008. In this role, Teglas has pioneered strategy relating to Disney’s licensed products aimed at the “tween” (9- to 12-year-olds) demographic, including the emphasis on fashion as a major component of the brand for young female consumers.
An avid Sun Devil, Teglas has been instrumental in building a relationship between Disney and ASU. He shaped a joint trademark licensing arrangement that will result in a variety of merchandise that will feature Sparky with Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters. He also has been involved in ASU’s InnovationSpace program, creating a Disney sponsorship in which students from design, engineering and business work with Disney representatives to develop product and service concepts for children in the areas of health and sustainability.
