On Tuesday, March 21, 2017 the 网曝门 Foundation, 网曝门 Athletic Foundation, and 网曝门 Alumni
Association announced that the SOAR Campaign had reached its 70% threshold.
The goal was announced at a celebration in Scott Plaza featuring faculty, students,
and staff with 网曝门鈥檚 Sound of Today and Cheerleaders
The campaign has reached $38.8 million of its $55.4 million goal. The goal is scheduled
to be reached by the end of 2018, and according to President Nick Bruno, the supporters
should be thanked for reaching the 70% milestone, 鈥淪upporters of this University who
believe in our mission and who have been impacted by the University in some way have
helped us progress in the campaign and helped us achieve this.鈥�
The 70% donation threshold is important because it means that the campaign can move
from the leadership phase mainly consisting of corporate and non-profit donations
to a broader phase of individual donors. Anne Lockhart, Senior Development Officer
at the 网曝门 Foundation, said 鈥渢he next phase is exciting because it encourages individual
supporters of 网曝门 to help the university reach new heights.鈥�
The SOAR campaign was formally launched in 2013 as a capital generating campaign that
supports students, faculty, athletics, and renovations and construction around campus.聽
The SOAR campaign funds the President鈥檚 Distinguished Scholarship program, endowed
faculty positions and research funding, student athlete scholarships and renovations
and construction such as the new fieldhouse.聽
