YORK COLLEGE CAMPAIGN

To Honor And To Serve

To Honor and To Serve Campaign

York College has announced a $15.95 million comprehensive, fundraising campaign named To Honor and To Serve. Gifts and pledges already total nearly $13.3 million, or more than 83% of the goal. The To Honor and To Serve Campaign is slated to last until mid-2023.

“For us, endorsing the To Honor and To Serve Campaign is very personal. We love York College and we want to be part of a campaign and a plan that are future facing.

“More than endorsing a campaign, we are ready to invest in a greater vision for what comes next. We want to get behind new generations who will call York University home, their dreams and their potential. Our support seems only natural in response to a place where so many people selflessly invested in us.

“We hope you will respond with your own investment in this step forward. Dream big. Recognize that To Honor and To Serve is only the first of many steps to build on a good foundation, prepare for the future and transition to York University. We look forward to that future and invite you to be an active participant in it.”

EXPANDING OUR REACH $6.35 million

Endowment

Endowment has more than tripled to nearly $21 million since 2010. The focus has been students: scholarship awards and enhanced programs. To become York University, expanding our reach, endowment must more than triple in the next decade.

York Scholarship Fund

With gifts now approaching $15 million for student scholarships, this fund has become a game-changer for hundreds of students every year.

RENEWING THE CAMPUS $6.8 million

Hulitt Hall

Slated to reopen in 2022, a revitalized Hulitt Hall will provide superior customer service for every student and every campus guest. A rededication ceremony is scheduled for Homecoming 2022.

Academic Resource Center at Levitt

Complete renovation of Levitt Library combined with expanded academic services creates a full-purpose (full-service) academic hub for York University.

New Living Facility

Acquisition and renovation of a local assisted living facility creates a new residence hall that will accommodate up to 80 in a great living space.

EQUIPPING OUR STUDENTS $2.8 million

This priority underwrites every aspect of campus, from the arts and sciences to Panther athletics to the Elijah A. Levitt School of Business. Earmarked funding also helps make possible York Campus Ministry (YCM) and the Second Chance Program at the Nebraska Correctional Center for Women.

Thank you for considering a gift to York College at this exciting time in our history. Every gift to this campaign is important, as we transition to York University.
