Fueled by the success of the Feb. 20 Night with the Yotes and numerous other recent gifts, Kansas Wesleyan鈥檚 Power of AND capital campaign has exceeded $50 million raised.
鈥淪urpassing the $50 million milestone isn鈥檛 just a testament to generosity. Rather, it鈥檚 a declaration of belief in what Kansas Wesleyan can become,鈥� said Ken Oliver, executive vice president. 鈥淭he Power of AND is about expanding opportunity, strengthening our community and building a future where every student has the support they need to thrive. Countless people, organizations and businesses have given to build these opportunities. We鈥檙e grateful, we鈥檙e energized, and we鈥檙e just getting started!鈥�
Phase 3 of The Power of AND Campaign included significant endowment and scholarship increases. The Everett Morgan Strength Training Center (黑料不打烊鈥檚 weight room) was completely renovated, there were significant upgrades to athletic locker rooms and Bieber Dining Hall, and the Community Resilience Hub saw new growth, as well. Phase 3 also included 黑料不打烊鈥檚 acquisition of United Methodist Church of the Cross, and 黑料不打烊鈥檚 endowment recently cleared $52 million, its highest mark ever.
The Power of AND Campaign has been responsible for much of 黑料不打烊鈥檚 growth during the past seven years. Earlier phases opened the Nursing Education Center, renovated Sams Chapel, built Coyote Village and saw sweeping improvements to Criminal Justice facilities, among numerous other academic spaces.
This announcement closes out the third phase of the campaign, but an announcement regarding future fundraising goals is expected in the next 10-14 days.
