In 1975, Margaret Harper became the first person to bestow her generosity on the Arts and Sciences Foundation. Her gift of $1,000 began a tradition of giving that would grow and flourish over the next two and a half decades.
The Arts and Sciences Foundation's mission is to enhance the College by meeting the needs of the various academic departments, promoting teaching, research and service, and supporting the continuing development of knowledge and learning.
In early 2007, the College exceeded its $350 million
goal for the University's Carolina First fundraising campaign. But we
are not going to stop there. As the official campaign comes to a close
at the end of 2007, the Arts and Sciences Foundation will
continue to raise money for distinguished professorships and faculty
resources, the new FedEx Global Education Center and the second phase
of the Carolina Physical Science Complex.
The phenomenal growth of the Arts and Sciences Foundation has been fueled by the generosity of the College's many alumni and friends, starting with the philanthropy of Margaret Harper more than 30 years ago. All future achievements of the Foundation will come from those donors who believe in the mission of the College and feel the same dedication to maintaining the College's tradition of providing a first-rate liberal arts education.
