Upward Together Campaign Reaches $200 Million Goal
|
Upward Together: The Campaign for Whitman College hit its $200 million goal one year ahead of schedule thanks to 15,292 generous donors who made gifts of all amounts. The campaign marks the most ambitious philanthropic endeavor in the history of the college.
Upward Together Chair Nancy Serrurier (Parent ’11) announced the milestone at a Board of Trustees event on Thursday, May 8.
“We are so thankful to all the donors who have made this possible and continue to see the bright future that this campaign represents,” said Serrurier. “But we’re not done yet! The final year has some fantastic opportunities to really make a transformational difference in the Whitman experience, especially around exceptional immersive learning.”
“Through the past few years of rapid change in the world, our alumni and friends have uplifted the mission of Whitman College and have invested in our students and their futures in extraordinary ways,” says President Sarah Bolton. “We can already see the results of their generosity in very real ways on our campus, and we will be able to do even more during the final year with strategic investments that will benefit both current and future Whitman students.”
