ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app City University is committed to securing our local impact and global reach. Our mission began over a century ago and we have proven success preparing the best and the brightest learners to create, lead, and serve. Now is the time to build upon our legacy and storied success in order to shape and secure the future of ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app City University - and propel our students to even greater heights. The intellectual breadth and intimate scale that this esteemed institution provides learners is dependent upon private support. Your annual investment will enable ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app’s president to implement the most pressing university-wide priorities, all to the benefit of our students and our community.
Established in 2018 with the inauguration of President Martha Burger, Bright Society serves as a critical network of supporters who are deeply valued by University administration. Three presidential-level priorities will be identified each year and donors will receive a report on the impact of their investments. President Burger has identified scholarships, faculty and staff recruitment and retention, and educational technology as her first and most immediate priorities. We need to make bold moves in these areas to secure ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app’s bright future.
Jennifer Grigsby, CFO, Ascent Resources is one of the first alumni to become a member of the Bright Society.
I am so excited about Martha Burger’s leadership of ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app City University and her plans to move ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app forward in terms of its financial sustainability.
In gratitude for your investment in these key areas through the President's Excellence Fund, President Burger will include Bright Society members in special events and personalized communications. Among these are our annual donor celebration, regional receptions, campus-wide events, and other activities to build intimate engagement with ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app City University. Members will also receive Bright Society progress reports and be recognized in University publications.
