"There is a growing sense of momentum at the University; gorgeous new buildings and campus features, record enrollments, significant increases in research grants, and more, and I think alumni sense that momentum and are responding to it," said Vice President for Advancement Rob Gunsalus.
Total giving, excluding bequests, is at $3,495,900, while an additional $78,217 came in from bequests, bringing the grand total to $3,574,117.
"Having a relatively large percentage of alumni make contributions to the University is really evidence of their satisfaction with their student experience. It is also a sign that they understand that the erosion of public funding requires all who care about the university to support HSU if it is going to maintain and build on that quality," added Gunsalus.
This addition brings the University's total endowment to $18,447,207.
