UPDATE 2008: THE FIRST YEAR OF MAKING HISTORY | |
| Last year's greatest fundraising triumph? | |
| The unprecedented support we received for our faculty, a cornerstone of both the campaign and SAS's strategic plan. | |
| Biggest (and nicest!) surprise? | |
| The support for our graduate students, including a $6 million grant from the Mellon Foundation. | |
| Most memorable moment? | |
| The campaign kick-off -- sharing that phenomenal energy and enthusiasm on campus, and seeing that same excitement in London and Hong Kong. | |
| Your main focus this year? | |
| A naming gift for the Neural and Behavioral Sciences Building -- needed in order to break ground on this critical piece of Penn's commitment to advancing brain science. Building endowment for undergraduate scholarships is also imperative. | |
| What's most exciting about Making History? | |
| It's invigorating to be engaged in so many multi-school, multidisciplinary collaborations, and what we're doing now will have a profound impact on the quality of a Penn education far beyond the years of this campaign. | |
