Oct. 5 marked the biggest fundraising announcement in the history of our university.
UNCG launches Light the Way: The Campaign for Earned Achievement.
This comprehensive campaign seeks to raise $200 million to strengthen three key areas: access, excellence, and impact.
“For 130 years, UNCG has been teaching students to look forward, innovate, and break down society’s barriers – big and small,” said UNCG Chancellor Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr. “To continue on this path we need to be bold, imaginative, and courageous. Our pursuit to transform students, knowledge, and the region is relentless. This campaign will light the way forward.”
Throughout the day, Chancellor Gilliam, Campaign Co-Chairs Susan Morris Safran and Randall Kaplan, and dozens of faculty, staff, alumni, and student volunteers spread the word on campus.
