Purdue fund-raising efforts exceed year's expectationsBy Laura Pelner Purdue alumni are generous. So generous, in fact, they're willing to help shape this University's future by donating large monetary gifts. For the 2000-2001 academic year the University received $173.9 million in gifts and pledges, half of which came from alumni. The almost $174 million is $60 million higher than last year's raised funds, which totaled $113.3 million, and more than $50 million higher than the University's goal for the year. "I think this past year has been very successful," said President Martin Jischke. "It represents a terrific team effort by the people at Purdue … It's a strong indication that our alumni and friends share our ambitions for Purdue and are pleased to help us."
