ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ

The new 10,000-square-foot facility will provide gathering and study space to students in the Historic Neighborhood.

Alumni, parents and supporters of the university gathered in David Geffen Hall in the Lincoln Center in Manhattan on Thursday, Sept. 5, to learn more about ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s historic fundraising effort.

The generous gift from Lee C. Leckie ’98 and his wife, Angie, will establish a Global Engagement Scholarship, one of the top priorities of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS campaign.

Generous gifts from Glen Bolger and Carol Farquhar P’19 and Jeffrey and Marci McGowen Daly P’20 support one of the top priorities of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign.

Alumnus Wally Sawyer ’64 and his wife, Rae, of Tampa, Florida, make a generous gift to increase access to ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ, which is one of the top priorities of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS fundraising campaign.

Alumni, parents and friends invest in scholarships and other university priorities as part of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign.

The Jackie Watson-Jones ’71 Annual Scholarship for Education Majors will make a difference for future teachers.

This year saw 80 percent of ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ employees make gifts to the institution in support of student scholarships, athletics programs and more. The increased engagement comes as ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ pursues its ambitious ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign, which seeks to raise $250 million during the next three years. 

Allison Fox ’15 creates scholarship opportunities for women who wish to study business at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ. The generous gift targets two priorities of ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS, the largest fundraising campaign in the university’s history.

The fundraising drive held leading up to the inauguration of Book as ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ's ninth president in October 2018 will fund the purchase of 1,000 books for the local school system.
