RAISED for [Undaunted]
This extraordinary generosity has laid a foundation for the future success of Goucher. From capital projects to endowed funds for faculty and scholarships, the [UNDAUNTED] campaign has ensured that Goucher offers all students, regardless of their means, a state-of-the-art education and inspiring campus experience.
Building a New Vision for the Campus
Since launching the [UNDAUNTED] campaign, Goucher has successfully completed several capital projects, including the relocation of Froelicher Hall and construction of the First-Year Village, Mary Fisher Dining Center, and the Evelyn Dyke Schroedl ’62 Tennis Center. The campaign closed with construction of the highly anticipated Judy C. Lewent ’70 Science Center, scheduled to open in 2027.
Evelyn Dyke Schroedl ’62 Tennis Center
Completed in 2021, the tennis center features 12 outdoor courts, provides a stellar home-court advantage to our championship-winning tennis teams, and honors the legacy and generosity of its namesake.
First-Year Village
Completed in 2018, the First-Year Village expanded on the traditional college residence hall. The village is designed to support students’ academic and personal development, with communal areas for students to cook, share, exercise, relax, and learn.
Mary Fisher Dining Center
Completed in 2019 and located at the center of campus, Mary Fisher Dining Center is a place for community and well-being, offering opportunities for students to share a meal, interact, and find support resources.
