Dear Honor the Future Campaign Benefactors:
We are extremely grateful for your investment in the students at UVA Wise as part of this remarkable $100,000,000 Campaign. When we launched the public phase in the Fall of 2019, we knew there would be thousands of alumni, friends, parents, community and corporate partners who would step up to support our ambitious Campaign. And, you did just that!
Thank you for investing in student scholarships, in academic research and programs, for inspiring excellence in the classroom and competitiveness on the fields and court. Your gifts have made a meaningful impact.
Together, we achieved the impossible! We have more to do but for now, we celebrate this incredible milestone in the life of our beloved College.
Best regards,

Inspire Academic excellence

Recruiting and retaining exceptional faculty across every discipline remains a top priority for the College. The optimum avenue to achieve this is through the incentive of endowed chairs. This will be a top priority for the College moving forward.
