The University of Evansville has formally launched a comprehensive fundraising campaign. “Forward>>” intends to generate $125 million in donations over the next several years. The school says it has also received $76 million in gifts towards the campaign.
UE says it will invest in three major priorities for the campus to help equip students for careers in the new economy. The institution says the campaign’s name stems from its “forward thinking” approach.
“At UE, we have fostered a culture among our students to create positive change – not in 10 years, not after graduation, but now,” said Christopher Pietruszkiewicz, president of the university. “This campaign takes that culture to a new level. With this support, we can create a great impact across every facet of our campus and every part of the student experience.”
There are three pillars of Forward>>. They include helping students meet their financial, mental, and physical well-being, bringing academics to life with hands-on educational opportunities, and fuel the faculty by increasing funding for professional development and growth.
