Help Light The Way To A Better Tomorrow
"A Fire That Kindles Other Fires: The Campaign To Advance Mission, Access, & Excellence" is the $135 million capital campaign that will blaze a bold new trail for The Â鶹´«Ã½ to follow in the years to come. Visit our and support your favorite Â鶹´«Ã½ cause to help us kindle the fires of others today.
Preparing Â鶹´«Ã½ For the Future
"A Fire That Kindles Other Fires" will prepare our students for tomorrow's ever-changing global economy and provide our faculty with the resources they require to excel. By building on our strategic plan, we will inspire our community to invest in Â鶹´«Ã½'s future through three essential pillars: advancing the mission, increasing access and affordability, and achieving excellence.
Advancing The Mission
In the spirit of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, The Â鶹´«Ã½ answers the challenges of our times by building on our strengths, embracing innovative new ways of proceeding, and remaining deeply committed to our mission as a Catholic and Jesuit institution. With an ambitious goal of $60 million for mission-specific causes, the University is planning for the future with a confidence inspired by both our past successes and the shared sense of ownership displayed throughout the campus community. By ensuring that the Â鶹´«Ã½ student experience remains a transformational experience grounded in the humanities, we will continue to prepare Â鶹´«Ã½ students to set the world on fire.
Increasing Access & Affordability
Cost continues to remain a barrier for many prospective students seeking to study at Â鶹´«Ã½. The University often competes for students against institutions whose larger endowments give them an unbeatable advantage in financial aid. To ensure that Â鶹´«Ã½ continues to kindle the fires of the best and brightest students regardless of their financial means, it is critical that the University increase its endowment. In addition to supporting students with limited economic resources, the campus-wide plan for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) will help guide Â鶹´«Ã½ toward creating a more inclusive community and campus culture. By achieving our goal of $52.5 million for access-specific causes, The Â鶹´«Ã½ will continue to stoke the fires of knowledge within all who seek its warmth.
Achieving Excellence
As always, the relentless pursuit of excellence remains a defining characteristic of a Â鶹´«Ã½ education. By achieving our $22.5 million goal, The Â鶹´«Ã½ will continue to light the way to a better tomorrow in the decades to come.
