historic Campaign Exceeds Goal
T
hanks to the support of the entire Georgetown community, on June 30 the 10-year campaign For Generations to Come came to a successful close, raising $1.67 billion for four key pillars: Scholarships, Academic Excellence, Student Life, and Transformative Opportunities. In addition to surpassing the $1.5 billion goal, Georgetown raised more for student scholarships during the campaign than in the preceding 217-year history of the university,
confirming and expanding its commitment to needblind admissions and meet-full-need financial aid. The number of new Georgetown University Medical Center scholarship funds grew to 39 over the course of the campaign— 34 endowed, and five current use. For the entire university, the campaign saw 530 new scholarship funds, of which 490 were endowed. In addition to substantial investments in facilities
across the university campus, such as the Healey Family Student Center, the W. Proctor Harvey Clinical Teaching Amphitheater, Regents Hall, and the Dahlgren Chapel renovation, donors funded 79 new endowed chairs and professorships, 11 new research centers, and $153 million directed to groundbreaking research. n
