University launches Yale Tomorrow campaign

On September 30, Yale launched Yale Tomorrow, a campaign that will seek $3 billion in five years to fund a wide range of University priorities in the twenty-first century.

"Above all, we need to complete the transformation of Yale from a local to a regional to a national to an international university," President Richard C. Levin said of the impetus of the Yale Tomorrow campaign.

Sam Waterston '62, served as the narrator for the ceremony at Morse Recital Hall September 30.

Approximately three-fourths of Yale's endowment funds are dedicated to specific current purposes, making new financial sources necessary if Yale is to expand beyond its current scope. The campaign is a comprehensive, University-wide initiative designed to benefit each of Yale's schools and programs.

To mark the campaign’s launch, a series of events were held on Yale’s campus Saturday.
