Campaign 2012 is the University’s five-year fundraising campaign which has two goals. 

The first goal is a capital campaign for $15 million to build a Health Sciences Center for the College of Health Sciences.  The Center will house the School of Pharmacy, the Department of Physician Assistants Education, and the University’s School of Graduate and Adult Education.  The Center will include classrooms and facilities with a teaching/learning capacity of 1,250 students.  This is the most ambitious capital project in University history.

The second goal of Campaign 2012 is to build the University’s endowment to $40 million.  The increasing demand for merit and scholarship assistance by our students in a highly competitive college and university marketplace requires a significant boost in the University’s endowment.  A significant endowment eases the University’s dependence upon student enrollment and buffers the institution against the infrequent enrollment decline, provides the means for the growth and development of academic programs as well as support services, and supports the  maintenance and expansion of a growing campus. 

A third goal of Campaign 2012 is to secure $2.9 in funding from private sources for a 72-bed residential apartment complex.  The university's enrollment has increased 25% over three years. Additional infrastructure is needed to accommodate the strong growth in the undergraduate student population.

Gifts and pledges are being sought for Campaign 2012.  Information you may wish to share about your own intentions to invest in Wingate’s future by participating in Campaign 2012, or information you may wish to share about possible alumni and friends donors will be much appreciated.
