Letter From the Senior Vice President Dear Alumni and Friends, This past year was a remarkable year for Fisk University and the momentum just keeps building. Fisk finished this year with an operational surplus of roughly $300,000 and a net gain from operations of $4,500,000. These are truly unprecedented numbers! Moreover, these numbers not only substantiate the tremendous transformation that has been underway for the past three years, but also provide a fantastic blueprint for a sustainable business model for the University going forward. With new student enrollment surging and trending towards the mid 400’s, this bodes exceptionally well for this fiscal year and many years to come. The academic quality of the student body has continued to improve and the outcomes of our graduates are as impressive as they are inspiring. With Trustee Roland Parrish’s exceptional gift, the donation of the Cal Turner Business Chair, and our many corporate partnerships, we are preparing students for success in new and innovative ways. Your unwavering support and generosity are changing the lives of each and every Fisk student as well as their families and communities across the country. We are so very close to propelling Fisk into completely unchartered territory and the excitement here is infectious. We feel it, the community feels it and most importantly, current and prospective students are feeling it. Fisk Forever,
Jens Frederiksen, Ph.D. Senior Vice President Institutional Advancement and Enrollment 6
