The importance of creating a robust pipeline of funding for Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s long-term future inspired members of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ community to make $46 million in estate and other planned gifts during the campaign.

Annual gifts provided a critical source of revenue during the Â鶹ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign, going to work immediately to support the best of Â鶹ÊÓƵ.

As Â鶹ÊÓƵ steadily expanded its residential campus during the Â鶹ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign, donors provided funding to complete projects that house academic and athletic pursuits, as well as welcoming spaces for students and visitors to gather.

A standout member of Â鶹ÊÓƵ's track and field team, George is an Honors Fellow and a Lumen Scholar at Â鶹ÊÓƵ and is a recipient of the prestigious Goldwater Scholarship, among other honors.

Investments in this priority helped Â鶹ÊÓƵ ascend to No. 1 in the nation in the U.S. News & World Report ranking for excellence in undergraduate teaching.

One of the main priorities of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign was to further invest in access to the university’s engaged learning experiences.
