Welcome to the Billion Dollar Campaign Club!
In June, we surpassed the $1 billion mark in GO Beyond: The Campaign for Future Makers, on our way to our $1.25 billion goal. Thank you for everything you have done to help us hit this milestone. Your collective investments of time, talent and financial support demonstrate our community’s commitment and belief in the promise of Lehigh students and faculty. I am grateful to work with all of you.
As of June 30, the end of the fiscal year, the campaign reached $1.006 billion, representing gifts made by more than 63,000 alumni, parents, students and friends since the start of GO Beyond, including:
• $297,390,600 for scholarships and financial aid, including 355 new endowed scholarships
• $285,245,814 for research, capital projects and faculty support
• $423,739,942 for the student experience
I’m fortunate to see the impact of your generosity every day. You give students the space and inspiration to build lifelong friendships in vibrant campus hubs like the reimagined Clayton University Center at Packer Hall. You open doors to Lehigh through scholarships, reducing financial barriers and expanding access to a life-changing education. I speak with students and faculty whose research is only possible because of your support. I hear your stories at events around the world describing the kind of future you believe we can create together. And I hope all of us take time to recognize the enduring ways our combined actions have changed lives at Lehigh.
Because we are not done yet. There is still $250 million left to reach our goal of $1.25 billion. If there is one thing I have learned from all of you so far, it is that Lehigh people are eager and ready to meet a challenge head-on. This is our moment to shape our future and show the incredible capacity of our community to dream big and go beyond what others think is possible.
Let’s seize it.
