What is the University of Baltimore Legacy Campaign Slogan?

Celebrate our Past, Embrace our Future!

 

 

What is the theme of the legacy Campaign?

Opportunity, Leadership, Service Since 1925, the University of Baltimore has given its graduates the opportunity to prepare for success. Today, the results of that opportunity, through the diligence and creativity of our 45,000 alumni, are clear and pervasive throughout every sector of society. We find UB alumni in positions of leadership in many professions including - law, accounting, business, and government. During the tenure of President Turner and his predecessors, the University has developed a distinguished record of service to our corporate partners, to the citizens of Baltimore and to the cultural fabric of our community.

 

When does the Legacy Campaign conclude?
June 30, 2002

 

 

What are the goals and objectives of the campaign?
  1. Raise UB’s visibility throughout the region
  2. Engage UB’s alumni, friends, faculty and staff in celebrating our mission, milestones and accomplishments
  3. Secure at least $20 million in private support to promote UB’s legacy into the 21st century

 

What is my role in the campaign?

People who know the University are UB’s best advocates. Over 60 percent of the men and women who enroll at UB today come to the University because someone they respect - a colleague, a friend, a family member or a teacher has recommended UB as the best place for them to prepare for professional success. You can help raise UB’s visibility among the people who matter. Share your knowledge of UB with someone else, encourage friends to enroll at UB, or distribute your UB Alumni Magazine to a colleague or a friend and invite them to visit this web-site.

We have many milestones to celebrate over the next three years, including Dr. Turner’s 30th year as president and UB’s 75th anniversary. We hope you will join us as we embark upon this journey.

Does my annual gift count in the Legacy Campaign?
All contributions between July 1, 1995 and June 30, 2002 count. The Legacy Campaign is part of the University System of Maryland’s $700 million Campaign in which all gifts are counted.
 
Why should I contribute to the Legacy Campaign?

By contributing to the Legacy Campaign you will be helping UB continue educating the future leaders of our region in business, law and the liberal arts. Specifically, your contribution will:

  • Support our efforts to attract and retain the best and brightest faculty. Our strength as a University depends a great deal on the quality of our faculty. Legacy Campaign contributions will enable us to retain our fine faculty, to attract equally outstanding new teachers and scholars, and to provide them with the support necessary to be successful.
  • Allow a UB education to remain possible for many of the hard-working men and women of our region regardless of their financial means. Your commitment to the Legacy Campaign will help in assuring that UB remains a place of true opportunity.
  • Enable the University to provide the resources and information tools necessary for our faculty and students to stay up to speed with the ever changing needs of the business, government and legal communities. Funding from tuition and state appropriations do not cover the full scope of special acquisitions necessary to keep our libraries and information technology up to date. Your contribution will help provide the funds necessary to build and maintain these critical resources.
  • Serve as an important investment in your degree. As we continue to improve the quality of a UB education the value of your degree and the reputation of UB will both grow. Investing in the Legacy Campaign is truly an investment you cannot afford to overlook.

 

 

How can I contribute to the Legacy Campaign?
