Research and Philanthropy
“To be competitive in this external research environment, you need to have accomplishments that demonstrate your capabilities to compete—to have resources upfront to build on. Alumni giving funds are sort of like venture capital, an incubator, where the payoff can be fantastic.”
-Provost John Orr, describing the impact of alumni giving on research.
