Giving
Our most ambitious fundraising endeavor secures a legacy for generations to come.
The recent acquisition of the nearly 500-acre Grandfather Home property—now known as South Campus at Grandfather Home—allows the college to broaden our educational reach, revolutionize our dynamic learning environment, and protect our natural resources.
