Fund for Excellence - $21 million
The Fund for Excellence is a bold step for Wesleyan. With its $21
million in bridge financing, which is being raised as current gifts, the
Fund is enabling us to make progress particularly in two crucial areas:
student aid and faculty distinction. We created this fund believing
that our donors share our vision for more equitable financial aid
packages and continued intense, personal teaching across the curriculum.
Early campaign gifts to the Fund for Excellence are, among other uses,
allowing us to move ahead immediately to reduce student loans by 30
percent and begin hiring new faculty so we can establish a
faculty-student ratio of just under 10:1 and strengthen key academic
areas. We are asking donors to provide permanent endowment funds to
support these priorities as the campaign unfolds. Thanks to the Fund
for Excellence, our efforts are already paying dividends in the
recruitment of new students and faculty.
