“UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — As Penn State’s six-year philanthropic campaign enters its final stretch this spring, its impact will continue to live on for future generations by providing opportunities — in classrooms, across campuses and in the larger world — that let students and faculty discover their full potential and make a difference, according to Penn State President Eric J. Barron.
In a presentation to the Penn State Board of Trustees at its Friday, Feb. 18 meeting, Barron highlighted “A Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence” and the power of philanthropy.
“Our campaign themes — Open Doors, Create Transformative Experiences and Impact the World — have focused on how we can make a great university greater,” Barron said. “Through this campaign, we have been able to fulfill our land-grant mission to make a tangible difference in the lives of Penn Staters and for the greater good. The impact the University can continue to have for our students, faculty and staff and the world has reached new heights thanks to the generosity of our community and supporters.”
Launched in 2016, “A Greater Penn State” so far has met 98% of its fundraising goal — which was increased in 2019 following record support — to raise $2.1 billion. Now in its final months, the campaign’s projected annual average commitment is expected to exceed $350 million, the highest annual level in Penn State history.”
Pat yourselves on the back for giving early, often, and in large sums.
