A chieve ! T he Camp aig n for NC S t a t e

s of December 31, 2007, the College of Design is 96 percent toward its $9 million campaign goal. Thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends of the college, we have just under $370,000 to raise by June 30, 2008, when the campaign comes to its official close. When we started this campaign six and a half years ago and the original goal of $4.5 million was set, many wondered how the college would be able to raise that sum of money in six years. Then just three years into the campaign as the college was about to meet this goal early, the challenge was made to double the original goal to $9 million. Once again, alumni and friends helped the college rise to this challenge. So what have these millions of dollars been used for and how does your support benefit the college and its students? The following is a list of some of the new funds and endowments that have been established since the Achieve! Campaign started in 2001. The net result of these new funds is: • More than $500,000 in new endowed scholarships and fellowships that along with the new annual awards generate more than $38,000+ in new scholarship and fellowship awards made to students each year. • More than $700,000 in new endowed lecture funds that will generate $28,000+ annually for special lectures and seminars. • More than $300,000 in new endowed international funds that will generate more than $13,000+ annually for student travel and study abroad. • More than $250,000 pledged to endow the Student Publication Fund that has re-established the college’s Student Publication plus an additional $250,000 planned gift to this fund. • $100,000 gift for the renovation of the entrance gallery for the auditorium in Kamphoefner Hall. • More than $3 million in pledged deferred gifts benefiting multiple departments within the college. • More than $100,000 in annual gifts made to special project funds each year.
