The importance of creating a robust pipeline of funding for ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s long-term future inspired members of the ÂÒÂ×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 ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign, going to work immediately to support the best of ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ.

As ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ steadily expanded its residential campus during the ÂÒÂ×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 ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ's track and field team, George is an Honors Fellow and a Lumen Scholar at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ and is a recipient of the prestigious Goldwater Scholarship, among other honors.

Investments in this priority helped ÂÒÂ×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 ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign was to further invest in access to the university’s engaged learning experiences.
