How can a campaign impact the need for facilities and improve employee compensation?
As noted, private dollars are a vital part of the equation related to state funds, tuition and other sources. Donors appreciate the opportunity to donate to building funds or efforts to equip classrooms or labs with the latest technology. We’ve been extremely successful in developing public-private partnerships to fulfill a significant vision for state-of-the-art facilities. We think that the new College of Business Administration building, the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy and the Min Kao Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building are key examples of using both resources wisely to advance each of those programs and the experiences that we can provide students who will use them for years to come.
