The appeal of the centers is proving key in both attracting and retaining faculty. The TCF has funded two new endowed professorships and two new junior faculty fellowships. Endowed chairs allow Tuck to give recognition where it is due. Fellowships allow the school to fund time for research, encouraging Tuck faculty not only to pass along knowledge but also to create it. The TCF focused on the students as well, with the aim of deepening the resources available for scholarship aid.
Scholarships are critical to the school's ability to attract the best students.
They are also essential if Tuck is to broaden its outreach to a diverse student body and to maintain an ideal learning environment. With the creation of 47 new named scholarship funds, the TCF has given Tuck sufficient new funding to aid a number of additional students who require full scholarships, or to spread equivalent support of smaller amounts among many deserving students. The campaign gave Tuck the resources to sustain the quality of its residential life and to continue to foster the close-knit community of students and faculty, one of Tuck's enduring qualities. These three key areas gave the campaign its momentum, says Jonathan L. Cohen T'61, chairman of the Tuck board of overseers. You look to the chief executive to motivate the major donors, and Paul's clarity of vision was superb.
