the years to come. Essentially, students are the pioneer donors to the Campaign for Colorado State University and have pledged to fund new construction on campus, including $10 million in student fees to help fund the expansion of Rockwell Hall. Future generations of business graduates will know that access to a world-class education at Colorado State was thanks to them, that their success was built on the shoulders of many before them.
Beginning in summer 2010, the new building will touch the lives of almost 5,000 students seeking business degrees at Colorado State and around the world through the College’s distance education courses. As student fees and tuition increase, the College is working hard to provide a greater number of financially meaningful scholarships to continue attracting high-achieving students who are being courted by other business schools. As part of its $55.7 million campaign, the College has raised nearly half of the $4 million needed for student scholarships.
Alumni can help the College raise its profile around the country as one of the finest in the Rocky Mountain region by continuing to give back to an area in the College that they care about, like helping to fund scholarships for students.
“Education is the most important investment people will make in their lifetimes. At the College of Business, our duty is to create and cultivate the relationships that will generate the revenue needed to continuously improve the curriculum and turn this investment into a valuable asset, making your degree worth more tomorrow than it is today.”
It is our hope that the skills and experience alumni gained at the College of Business have made a significant impact in their life’s endeavors. We now ask that you invest in the College’s people, programs, and places. You have the power to make a difference in the lives of our students. We need your involvement today!
