People here believe that education is very important and that their gift can make a difference.
Cadell says the focal point of the fundraising campaign is to meet the needs of students. The reasons the institution exists is to educate students, so we're looking at ways of facilitating access and enhancing the educational experience. A large portion of the funds are being raised from the campus community, and the alumni are also making a sizable contribution. The fact is they feel a sense of loyalty to the university because it had a positive impact on their lives, and they want to ensure it can do the same for their children and grandchildren. This is truly a university that belongs to the people.
