Continuing the Journey
St. Edward’s honors its philanthropic supporters • Fiscal Year 2010–2011 From the Vice President for University Advancement As the following numbers and lists indicate, the key initiatives outlined in Strategic Plan 2015 have resonated within the St. Edward’s family. During the plan’s inaugural year, donor support of our initiatives reached $9 million in new gifts and pledges, surpassing the previous year’s total by 270 percent. Fifty donors each committed at least $25,000 — our largest-ever group of Platinum-level President’s Associates. Five donors each committed at least $500,000 — noteworthy pledges in both size and source, with each of the five representing a different constituency (alumnus, parent and current university trustee, foundation, friend and community business owner, and corporation). And so we already had plenty to celebrate as we “closed the books” on academic and fiscal year 2010–2011. Then in July, we experienced what is described in accounting terms as an “extraordinary event.” Resulting from conversations between President George E. Martin and Bill and Pat Munday about the strategic plan’s Campus Master Plan, the Mundays gave $13 million for a new Library and Learning Center. As we thank all leadership donors in the following pages and online, we must recognize our most generous benefactors. The Munday’s gift was, indeed, an “extraordinary event” — the largest single gift in the history of St. Edward’s! Our history now spans 126 years, beginning when Father Edward Sorin, CSC, and two colleagues surveyed an Austin hilltop and decided to establish a college and community driven by the Holy Cross mission. Considering the university’s longevity, one may rightly conclude that our mission has been continually renewed by each successive generation. As our late colleague Brother Stephen Walsh, CSC, ’62 once said, “While we might choose to pause and catch our breath, our mission calls us to continue the journey.” Your support helps us continue the journey. For this reason, we gratefully acknowledge all who make St. Edward’s University the recipient of their philanthropy. Thank you. — Michael F. Larkin
