Results Campaign

 

Georgia State Wraps First Comprehensive Fund-raising Campaign

 

Georgia State University marked the successful end of the university’s first-ever comprehensive fund-raising campaign during a public celebration in November 2004.

The campaign’s goal has been to raise $125 million in private giving for Georgia State’s academic programs, professorships and endowed chairs, scholarships and facilities.

“I’m particularly proud that the ultimate goal of the ‘Results’ campaign was accomplished during my term as chairman of the Georgia State University Foundation,” said Michael D. Easterly, chairman and CEO of Legacy Securities Corp. and Legacy Investment Group Inc. “This is a new high-water mark for the Georgia State community. Everyone involved has much to be proud about, and I want to personally thank all of our donors.”

Some highlights of the campaign include:

  • $18.45 million for merit- and need-based scholarship programs for students
  • $18.9 million to establish 27 professorships and endowed chairs, which help the university recruit and retain faculty.
  • $43.2 million to fund academic programs and centers where students and scholars are addressing critical needs in business, education, law, policy studies, health care delivery, and the arts and sciences.

“I want to thank the entire Georgia State community for their help in making this campaign a success,” said Georgia State President Carl Patton. “Eighty-seven percent of Georgia State’s faculty and staff gave a personal gift to this campaign. These same employees show their devotion to the university and its students every day.”
