The University of Rochester says it has broken the $1.2 billion dollar goal for its major fundraising campaign.
In a message on the university web site, President Joel Seligman says they raised nearly $1.4 billion by the end of June. The goal of the biggest endowment campaign in the university’s history was $1.2 billion. They actually hit that a year ago.
Seligman says that money has allowed the U of R to add more than 100 endowed professorships and other academic positions…and will fund new initiatives over the next five years.
