  • engaged more than 125,000 donors, including 30% of our alumni;
  • made possible 60 new endowed scholarships for students;
  • established 5 new professorships and chairs; and
  • will create, by its conclusion, nearly 400,000 square-feet of new and renovated facilities.
  • Every day, students and faculty teach, learn, create, and experience new forms of excellence due to the generosity of AnewAU donors.
