While the BSU Foundation and members of the faculty, staff and administration from all corners of the university continue their work on the Imagine Tomorrow capital campaign, the effects of the campaign’s success are already being felt.
Since the campaign’s launch in 2011, scholarship dollars provided to BSU’s students by the BSU Foundation have nearly doubled, from $700,000 in Fiscal Year 2011 to an estimated $1.2 million for FY2015. Donors have contributed 35 new endowments with a total value of over $4 million, and already 18 academic departments or programs are benefitting from these new endowments, including:
Accounting
Admissions
Athletics
Biology
Business
Chemistry
Economics
Engineering
Environmental Studies
History
Leadership
Math
Music
Nursing
Professional Education
Science
Sport Management
Tech Studies
BSU Campus Campaign has raised more than $423,000
The on-campus segment of the Imagine Tomorrow campaign has been a tremendous success, with five-year pledges for scholarship contributions from BSU faculty and staff nearly 100 times greater than the FY2013 totals. BSU faculty and staff have pledged $423,038 to the campaign over a five-year period for FY2014; in FY2013, that total was just over $45,000.
These members of the BSU faculty and staff have supported Imagine Tomorrow by joining the Lakeside Society with annual gifts or pledges of $1,000 or more. Thank you for your gifts that will help us support BSU’s future students. The BSU Foundation truly appreciates all of our generous campus donors for your gifts to the campaign.
