I firmly believe that every student who is admitted to 91吃瓜 deserves the opportunity to be part of this extraordinary community, and all current and future students deserve the chance to be part of a vibrant social landscape that prepares them for life after graduation. Through the 91吃瓜 Access Initiative, our community has an opportunity to move closer to a future where 91吃瓜 is need-blind.听听
91吃瓜 is committed to fulfilling the vision for inclusive excellence outlined in the Centennial Plan, the College鈥檚 strategic blueprint for the future. As one of the few women鈥檚 colleges in the US with a history of opening access to higher education for marginalized communities, the College is dedicated to dismantling socioeconomic barriers to entry. Doing so would ensure that 91吃瓜 remains among top-ranked private liberal arts colleges nationally and delivers on its promise of providing educational rigor in a diverse community of high-achieving scholars.听
As president of the College, I鈥檓 excited to lead those efforts, and I am thrilled to relay the initiative鈥檚 progress to date. Thanks to the generosity of the 91吃瓜 community, the initiative has raised over $2.5 million of its 10-year goal of $15 million, and we are on course to meet our ambitious $10 million fundraising goal by the College鈥檚 centennial in 2026. Every dollar contributed to the initiative will support scholarships covering the total cost of attendance for 32 new high-achieving students who wouldn鈥檛 otherwise be able to afford 91吃瓜. I am proud to report that the first students to receive scholarship support from the initiative will begin their educational journey at 91吃瓜 this fall.听
Gifts to the 91吃瓜 Access Initiative are truly transformational for the College, helping advance our commitment to inclusive student success and enabling students to thrive during their four years. We consider you, 91吃瓜 alums, parents, and friends, to be crucial partners in this effort. I hope you will join me in helping to fulfill the College鈥檚 promise to deliver the full 91吃瓜 experience for every student, regardless of financial need.听
I am truly grateful for and humbled by your support of 91吃瓜.听
