Meet your Institutional Advancement Team What a year!
While the economy sputtered, the markets fluctuated, and unemployment hovered around 10%, we asked our alumni and friends for more support than ever before. Our students have more needs than ever and we asked you to step up. As you can see in the following pages, you and countless others stepped up to the plate and were inspiring in your generosity! On behalf of the students, faculty and staff, thank you for your investment in our mission to develop leaders of success, significance and service.
I hope you know what a significant difference your gift has made.
During fiscal year 2010 (July 1, 2009 – June 30, 2010) you gave $590,477 to the Westminster Fund, $261,895 to the special Sloss Hall initiative, and $2.5 million to support specific programs and endowments. The Westminster Fund had a 9% increase during a down economy when most college annual funds declined! I hope you know what a significant difference your gift has made. Along with an outstanding staff, it is my job to link your desire to help with the students and programs that need the support. Each dollar you give has a direct and measurable impact that we’ll continue to demonstrate. It is an honor to serve Westminster with you. Thank you again for all you do! Sincerely,
John Comerford, Ph.D. Vice President for Institutional Advancement
