The campaign remains open until June 30. The university says, to date, the campaign has raised:
- $71 million for academic life, including funds for student-faculty research across the curriculum, endowed chairs and support for the School of Music.
- $40 million for student engagement and experiential learning.
- $91 million in investments to the campus.
- $48 million in unrestricted support and other areas.
- $36 million in annual operating support through The Fund for DePauw.
The campaign broke the $376.6 million record set in 2000 as a result of The Campaign for DePauw: Leadership for a New Century.
“To achieve a campaign amount of this magnitude is a tribute to our alumni, trustees and committed donors around the world,” President Mark McCoy said in a news release. “The exceptional loyalty and generosity of alumni and friends reflect the quality of the DePauw experience and our tradition of producing leaders the world needs.”
