IMPACT“The Syracuse Impact,” the 2009-10 giving report for The Campaign for Syracuse University, is now available online at campaignprogress.syr.edu. The report covers gifts to the University from Jan. 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010, and includes stories highlighting the significant impact campaign gifts have had on faculty and students.

Among the initiatives featured are the Martin J. Whitman School of Management’s Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities, which has proven so successful that it is being offered at a number of other colleges and universities across the nation; Say Yes to Education, SU’s precedent-setting partnership with the Syracuse City School District that serves as a national model for urban education reform; and the University’s Green Data Center, SU’s collaboration with IBM and the State of New York, which has been hailed as one of the world’s most energy-efficient computer centers.

The report also offers:

  • significant campaign progress statistics, including campaign totals, donor groups and gift designation categories;
  • lists of new funds that have been created or significantly increased during the time period covered in the report (funds established since the inception of the campaign in 2007 are listed online at campaignprogress.syr.edu);
  • and updates on new endowed chairs and professorships created through the Faculty Today gift challenge program.
