In honor of Southeastern Louisiana University’s 100th year, the university announced the biggest fundraising campaign in its history today as it heads toward the next 100 years. Titled “Get There Together,” the campaign is a $100 million initiative and is led by Honorary Chair and ABC Good Morning America Anchor Robin Roberts. The university is well on its way with the campaign, having raised $80 million already.
“As Southeastern approaches its centennial year of making a transformational difference for the state, the region and tens of thousands of lives, it’s time to look forward to the next century of impact,” said Southeastern President William S. Wainwright. “Because of this everlasting commitment to excellence, Southeastern students and alumni accomplish great things.”
“What better way to honor the past than to ensure a strong future that changes the lives of generations to come, builds a strong economy for our region and state, and provides cultural and athletic experiences that add to the depth of life,” said Vice President for University Advancement Wendy Lauderdale.
The campaign is built around the university’s four pillars: Inspire Life-Changing Opportunities, Invest in Faculty, Keep Higher Education Possible, and Building a Better Workforce.
“Within these core pillars, there are nine initiatives that allow you to directly make a difference in the area of your choice, whether it’s the new Robin Roberts Broadcast Media Center, student scholarships, academic excellence in colleges and departments, expansion of nursing excellence, the area of greatest need, faculty support, athletic training and Athletics, facilitating a vibrant campus community, or stepping in for life’s unforeseen challenges,” Wainwright explained. “With both alumni around the world and our local communities coming together for this monumental campaign, there’s no limit to the amazing achievements and impact the next 100 years can bring.”
