[UNDAUNTED] comprehensive capital campaign surpasses goal
This month, we mark the conclusion of the [UNDAUNTED] comprehensive capital campaign and the success of the past decade, as the campaign far exceeded its $100 million goal to fund scholarships, professorships, and transformative projects across campus. Raising more than $170 million and looking towards future endeavors, the campaign led to the completion of capital projects, including the Evelyn Dyke Schroedl ’62 tennis courts, Mary Fisher Dining Hall, and the move of Froelicher Hall to make way for the First-Year Village. Building The Judy C. Lewent Science Center ’70 is the campaign’s final stage. This $50 million, 44,000-square-foot building will create an exciting environment for interdisciplinary learning and hands-on research for faculty and students. Fundraising will continue to outfit the state-of-the-art Lewent Science Center while construction is completed over the next two years.
