You Made the Difference
As we’ve heard so many times, this year was unprecedented. While we still had many generous donations from our friends and supporters, for the first time that any of us can remember, we struggled. We also postponed celebrating our benefactors and laureates, but we hope to do so this upcoming year.
While these have been very challenging times, your support has made a difference. For our students and faculty who found themselves teaching and taking online classes, and for our researchers whose research paused those last months of the fiscal year, knowing that you are behind all the good work we do means everything.
We are incredibly grateful to our supporters who give to the college in big and small ways.
1533 donors. $8.7 million raised.
Immediately usable funds: $3.5 million. New pledges: more than $208,000. Revocable commitments (bequests): $2.1 million.
