DOLLAR MATCHMeaghan’s Million

WHEN PRESIDENT BLIGHT BEGAN HER TENURE AT WESLEYAN COLLEGE, SHE SET AN AMBITIOUS GOAL TO RAISE ONE MILLION DOLLARS DURING HER FIRST 100 DAYS.

THANKS TO THE GENEROSITY OF ALUMNAE, WE WERE ABLE TO SURPASS THIS GOAL WITH A TOTAL OF $2,213,000 RAISED. This incredible showing of support provided funds to reach new students, to increase our capacity to support and serve our community, and to provide start-up funds for a new CEO (Creating Equal Opportunity) Institute that will accelerate our students’ leadership trajectory.

"I was so impressed with President Blight's desire to set an ambitious goal right at the beginning of her tenure to make a big impact on the College. I felt it was important for all of us who value Wesleyan to support her effort."

$2,213,000 addition to providing a strong academic foundation for Wesleyan students, President Blight and her able associates are now concentrating on equipping the students with the leadership skills that will make them better prepared to compete with students from other institutions. For these purposes, we are willing to aid and assist Wesleyan in every way possible."

"Meaghan's Million Dollar Match shows not only her passion to further Wesleyan, but this act creates an enormous ripple effect that will be felt by the Wesleyan community for years to come. It was a bold and inspiring start to her presidency. It makes me lean forward and excitedly raise my hand to shout, "How can I help?"
