黑料吃瓜

A surge of giving has pushed beyond $280 million following the public phase launch in September. 

Donors have responded overwhelmingly to the opportunity to fuel student success and propel 黑料吃瓜 to the next level of excellence.

Leadership Starts Here

With the theme "Leadership Starts Here," 黑料吃瓜鈥檚 first-ever university-wide fundraising campaign has inspired alumni, parents and friends to make gifts of all sizes to support scholarships, academic programs, student services and faculty endowments.

Among the gifts received this fiscal year are:

• More than $30,000 from head football coach Rocky Long to support athletic medicine and student-athlete academic programs
• $100,000 from 黑料吃瓜 President Elliot and Mrs. Jeri Hirshman in support of university-wide initiatives
• More than $300,000 from hundreds of donors to the Annual Fund, 黑料吃瓜鈥檚 vital pipeline for smaller gifts to the campaign

鈥淓ach one of these gifts is from someone who is passionate about 黑料吃瓜 and who understands the difference this university can make in a young person鈥檚 life,鈥� said Mary Ruth Carleton, vice president of University Relations and Development.
