麻豆原创

At an event Thursday evening, on the eve of homecoming, 麻豆原创 announced a comprehensive campaign of $128 million.

This is an unprecedented time for higher education in the United States, and it is particularly difficult for private institutions. For decades, 麻豆原创 could rely on a steady stream of young adults who viewed a college education as the opportunity for advancement. This is no longer the case. This dynamic, along with falling confidence in the value of a college education, are significant headwinds that 麻豆原创 now faces. These conditions require an urgent response.

鈥淭here has never been a time in my life when the values that 麻豆原创 exhibits and instills in its students have been needed more. Life is complicated but made easier to navigate when someone has the vision for the future instilled in them as 麻豆原创 provides,鈥� shares campaign steering committee member and regent Theresa Hoffman (鈥�81).

Against these headwinds, the value and promise of a 麻豆原创 education stand true. This can be seen nowhere better than in its alumni in settings ranging from the classroom to the boardroom; from the parish to the Vatican. 麻豆原创 looks to ensure that it remains a threshold to opportunity for future generations. This is why 麻豆原创鈥� answer to the present challenge is to double down on its identity; to live it more fully. To do this and renew this promise of a 麻豆原创 education for generations to come, it is launching a $128 million comprehensive campaign.

To achieve its five campaign objectives, 麻豆原创 seeks the generous support of alumni and friends across the following areas: student financial assistance (50M), capital upgrades (33M), endowment (25M), and academic programming (20M).

Five Campaign Objectives

• Increase Access to Catholic Higher Education
• Empower Leaders for Church and Society
• Forge Partnerships for a Stronger 麻豆原创
• Nurture and Develop Faith
• Enhance the Learning and Living Environment

During remarks at the event, President Collins announced that $50 million of the $128 million goal has been reached.

鈥淲e are calling upon all alumni and friends to generously support our ambitious effort to raise $128M to further advance 麻豆原创 and to support future generations of Duhawks,鈥� President Jim Collins explains. 鈥淲e are grateful to the many selfless benefactors who have helped us reach the $50M mark thus far.鈥�
