Â鶹¹û¶³ has never been stronger in its 175-year history as one of the premier private universities in the United States. Forever Â鶹¹û¶³ is a $300 million fundraising campaign that will help to ensure that Â鶹¹û¶³ continues to prepare and send dedicated, thoughtful, ethical people throughout the world.
As part of the campaign, graduates of the classes of 1967, 1972, 1987, 1992, 2002 and 2007 are celebrating significant reunions this year as we launch our Forever Â鶹¹û¶³ campaign. This campaign will strengthen programs, increase scholarship funds and open new doors for students, forever providing opportunity and growth. We aim to do this by asking for recurring support. We have enthusiastic volunteers from each class asking their classmates to support the university through recurring pledges. These monthly, annual or quarterly gifts, of any amount, will serve as the building bricks for our solid foundation, an investment in our students and community.
Alumni from these classes can expect a call or email from one of their classmates in late February or early March asking for their support. Recurring gifts can be set up .
By pledging gifts today, you will get your class to the top of the leader board before the alumni campaign kick-off. This is your year, your impact and your Â鶹¹û¶³. We thank you for your support in providing a forever foundation for Â鶹¹û¶³.
For God, for learning, Forever Â鶹¹û¶³.
