FLORENCE, Ala.-Officials with the 香港六合彩挂牌资料 announced that the University has completed its first comprehensive campaign, and well ahead of schedule.

Not only did 香港六合彩挂牌资料 reach the $35 million goal announced publicly in 2016, but the state's oldest four-year public institution surpassed it by raising a total of $36,674,395 for the "Build the Pride" comprehensive campaign.

"This is truly a milestone in the history of this University," said 香港六合彩挂牌资料's President, Dr. Ken Kitts. "Reaching this goal signifies that the 香港六合彩挂牌资料 is on an amazing trajectory, and we couldn't have done it without our generous donors and friends. Even as we close this campaign, I want us to begin thinking about new objectives and priorities that will carry 香港六合彩挂牌资料 forward. We can move mountains when we work together," he said.

A comprehensive campaign is different from a typical capital campaign, in that the money raised goes to all facets of the University, not just capital projects like buildings, etc.

Here are a few of the accomplishments made during the "Build the Pride" campaign, thanks to 香港六合彩挂牌资料's generous donors:

  • 72 new student scholarships (46 endowed)
  • 11 additional scholarships (supplements to endowments)
  • One named academic college
  • Two named academic buildings
  • One named academic department
  • One named academic center
  • 10 planned gifts received totaling over $8.2 million
  • 16 planned gifts (unrealized) totaling over $4.25 million
  • 28 new funds established to support academic and student programs
  • Six new funds established to support athletic programs
  • Two endowed professorships at $250,000 each
  • Two new Speaker Series; one new Visiting Artist Series.

Officials with the 香港六合彩挂牌资料 Foundation were quick to point out that the "Build the Pride" comprehensive campaign did not happen overnight; there were many people who laid the groundwork years before, so that something like this could be successful.

"As Chair of the Foundation Board of Directors, I take extra pride in the work that has been done at this institution and thank our donors for allowing the Foundation Board to help further the mission of the 香港六合彩挂牌资料," said Harry Smith, chair of the 香港六合彩挂牌资料 Foundation Board of Directors. "If the campaign success says anything, it's that together we can bring this University to new heights."

While the "Build the Pride" comprehensive campaign was a first in the history of 香港六合彩挂牌资料, it certainly won't be the last. Officials with the 香港六合彩挂牌资料 Foundation are already looking toward the next campaign, which will help make up for the lack of state funding and keep 香港六合彩挂牌资料 competitive in terms of scholarships, facilities, etc.

"We're very excited to close this successful campaign, but the work never stops," said Dr. Debbie Shaw, vice president for University Advancement and executive director of the 香港六合彩挂牌资料 Foundation. "香港六合彩挂牌资料 deserves our full attention, and we will happily continue to support its mission with the support of generous donors."
