In February, with 10 months remaining in Brown University’s ambitious BrownTogether campaign, fundraising in support of the University’s mission and strategic priorities passed the $4 billion mark.
“Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of thousands of Brown alumni, parents and friends, the campaign’s successes to date will benefit generations to come,” President Christina H. Paxson wrote in a Wednesday, Feb. 28, letter to campus. “We are now well-positioned to build on this momentum to increase investments in people, innovative research and education, campus infrastructure and the student experience for the duration of the campaign, which continues through Dec. 31, 2024.”
Since the official launch of the campaign in 2015, donors have supported impactful scholarship, boosted access to a Brown education, funded the growth and improvement of Brown’s physical campus, and enriched the educational experience for thousands of talented students. In the coming months, the University will set the stage for the next chapter of Brown’s excellence by continuing to raise funds in support of teaching and research, collaborative scholarship, financial aid and other important priorities.
In addition to the thousands of community members who have provided support, Paxson thanked campaign co-chairs Joan Wernig Sorensen ’72 LHD’19 hon., P’06 P’06; Theresia Gouw ’90; and Ralph Rosenberg ’86, P’17 and the Advancement team at Brown for their commitment to BrownTogether’s success.
“As we approach the campaign’s final months with plans to strengthen Brown’s impact even further, we look forward to building on this success and doing more to support the extraordinary Brown students and scholars whose efforts are leading to knowledge that betters our nation and world,” Paxson wrote. “I hope you share my excitement about the transformative impact of BrownTogether to date and the opportunity to finish the campaign strong.”
