Lighting the Way | ɫ��ɫ University

We have achieved $75,000,000 to support our students—help us continue lighting the way!

We have raised $77,680,123 in total philanthropic support. Now, our goal is limitless until the campaign officially closes in 2026!

Dear ɫ��ɫ community,

For nearly three centuries, our students have proven their potential is as limitless as the stars. Our students come from humble beginnings and diverse backgrounds. Many are first-generation college students. They are driven and passionate and strive for excellence in the classroom and in their internships, activities, and sports, preparing for reflective lives, fulfilling careers, and transformative leadership in a world of change.

In 2018, we launched Lighting the Way: The Campaign for ɫ��ɫ University and made a promise to change our students’ lives through scholarships, meaningful experiences, and leading-edge technology and learning facilities. Through your extraordinary generosity, we have reached our $75 million goal two years early, exceeding every expectation. You have shown your support is as limitless as our students’ potential!

We have achieved significant milestones in the campaign, raising more than $43 million in scholarships and $12 million for the student experience. We have seen an outpouring of support for leading-edge technology and learning facilities, including $10 million for the Haupert Union Building transformation into a state-of-the-art space for innovation, collaboration, and growth!

Through your passion and advocacy, you have changed our students’ lives and ɫ��ɫ’s future. But our work does not stop here. Our commitment to Lighting the Way extends far beyond our initial goal—it is limitless until the campaign officially closes in 2026!

Join me in continuing to ignite the future of our students right now by . Your continued support fuels our mission to propel our students toward success limited only by their imagination. Thank you for pouring your hearts into a brighter future and embracing our vision that is as vast as the universe itself.

With you in lighting the way,

President Bryon L. Grigsby ’90, P’22, P’26
