This year the College of Business launched a capital campaign with proceeds directed toward an endowment for the college. In addition, the George W. Donaghey Foundation provided a $500,000 challenge gift. This is an opportunity to generate funds to better serve our students by supporting programs such as:

• Student abroad courses to Germany and Costa Rica
• Student competitions such as the Microsoft Imagine Cup and the Donald W. Reynolds Governors Cup Business Plan
• Professional development workshops

All net funds from the golf tournament will be designated for the Donaghey Challenge Match.
