Drive for the 250th Priorities

These 250th Drive Priorities align with President Hsu’s vision for our future and provide focus to our major fundraising efforts during the 250th Anniversary. Each priority was generated by faculty and staff, and with support from alumni and donors will position the College for greater long-term philanthropic support and engagement.
