COMPLETE CAMPAIGN RESULTS 2017-2022

01. CAMPAIGN FINANCIAL RESULTS

At Ashland University, everything starts with the individual. One student. One vision. One transformative moment.

From this central belief grew The Campaign for Every Individual, the most ambitious–and wildly successful–fundraising effort Ashland has ever undertaken.

While selfless giving has always been foundational to who we are, the outpouring of generosity during The Campaign for Every Individual illustrates just how deep our commitment to creating transformational student opportunities runs.

Thank you for your willingness to sustain our traditions of philanthropy. Together, we continue to provide life-changing opportunities for the next generations of Ashland students as they discover their individual callings and pursue lifelong success.

02. NEW PROGRAMS

Our community’s generosity expanded the programs we are now able to offer, in terms of academic areas of study, social support structures on campus and more. Our Industrial Engineering program, for example, will launch Fall 2023, offering both major and minor academic tracks in this ever-widening and rapidly-growing industry. Also, as a direct result of this campaign, we introduced our Physician Assistant program and held our inaugural white coat ceremony on Aug. 27, 2022. Additionally, our Military & Veterans programming was created to provide specialized support services to veterans as they transition to campus life. Your generosity made the creation of these programs possible and we’re excited to continue adding value to the student experience in the future.

03. PROGRAM ENHANCEMENTS

Because the student experience is our highest priority, we reinvested resources into initiatives across campus. Your support made the following program enhancements possible, giving students access to the life-changing opportunities Ashland is known for.

04. ENDOWMENT

Our endowment, a self-sustaining source of funding that provides investment income, is the promise we make to–and for–our future. Years ago, we made a commitment to steward this fund conservatively. Because of our community’s generosity, our endowment has increased significantly during the campaign, the numbers reflecting our focus on equipping individuals for success now and in the future.
