Final Message from the
Campaign Co-Chairs
It has truly been our honor and privilege to serve for the past five
years as Co-Chairs of the Campaign
Changing Lives Since 1889. We are
delighted to announce that as of June 30, 2007, the Campaign has raised
$12,035,451 thanks to you, our generous donors. This amount far exceeds
our goal of $10million.
We have enjoyed meeting so many of our fellow alumni and hearing about
the impact that the College at Oneonta has had on your lives. As Oneonta
alumni, we have so much to be proud of, including our fine tradition of
giving.
At the start of the Campaign, we identified four specific areas on which
we would focus: scholarships, science programs, the Milne Library, and
unrestricted endowment. While we will be reporting information on all
these areas in future publications, we did want to share one of the
greatest achievements of the Campaign: In five years, 63 new endowed
scholarships have been created. This represents an increase of more than
50%.We want to offer special thanks to all our scholarship donors who
made this possible. This year, over $1,500,000 in scholarship awards
will be given to deserving students. Many of these students would not be
able to achieve their educational goals without the financial assistance
of scholarships.
Thank you again for making our Campaign a rousing success and our alma
mater #1 in alumni percent participation in giving among our SUNY peers
for the sixth consecutive year.
Sincerely,
Bob and Sheila Sheridan Striffler,
Class
of 1972
