31 Campaign Update Education With a Mission Last spring, Siena Heights unveiled a $12.5 million campaign to strengthen the University by supporting students, achieving academic distinction and ensuring a vibrant learning environment. At the kick-off in May, campaign commitments stood at $6.6 million; early in the New Year, the total surpassed $9 million. The campaign runs through December 2003. The Campaign for Siena Heights University offers everyone the opportunity to shape the future of Siena Heights—at a time when mission-driven education is more important than ever. Through the campaign, alumni and friends can: • Encourage the development of future teachers, physicians, researchers and mathematicians by contributing to the renovation of our math, science and computing facilities. • Promote awareness of ethical issues facing today’s citizens by helping to endow the new ethics lecture series. • Support physical fitness and a balanced lifestyle by investing in the expansion of the Fieldhouse to include a modern fitness center. Those are just a few elements in this exciting campaign. The chart below lists the major priorities— and progress—of the campaign. For information about specific projects and giving opportunities, contact the Siena Heights advancement office at (517) 264-7140 or (800) 693-0506.
