A Message from
President Richard C. Levin
In September 2006, I invited you to participate in Yale Tomorrow, a five-year, $3 billion campaign in support of a bright future. The goal: to set the foundation for a Yale of permanently greater breadth and strength, able to contribute not only to the nation but also to the world. I am delighted to say that ever since, alumni, parents, and friends have responded with generosity and enthusiasm, so that in June 2008, with an eye toward building two new residential colleges, we were able to raise the Campaign goal to $3.5 billion. As of Decenber 2009, giving amounted to more than $2.866 billion, and your gifts continue. I am deeply grateful.
Many of our supporters are now wondering how the current economic crisis will affect our conduct of the Campaign and our ambitions for Yale. The short answer is that I am optimistic. The University is prepared to weather the storm, and the Campaign continues to support our most important objectives for Yale College, the Arts, the Sciences, and the World.
