. The Centennial Capital Campaign
is designed to raise $1 million. The
General Alumni Association has
committed to raise $1 million of the
$5 million goal, according to Dr. Ul-
lysses Bell, Vice Chancellor for De-
velopmentandPlanning. The Centen-
1 nial Committee is presently seeking
contributions from faculty, staff, stu
dents, parents, alumni and adminis
trators.
1 A July 12 editorial in The Daily
Advance points out the value of the
campaign, and urges the community
to contribute.
“It will be vital that the community
served by the school should also con
tribute,” the editorial stated. “Indi
viduals, businesses and groups will be
asked to give to this campaign. It is in
our interest to do so, considering the
impact of ECSU on this area”.
According to the ECSU Centen
nial Campaign brochure, $3,200,000
of the money raised by the campaign
will be used for scholarship endow
ments and to enhance the Incentive
Scholarship Program. One million will
go toward the Distinguished Profes
sor Endowments which includes
music, business and economics, and
sciences. These three professorships
will allow ECSU to possess a “unique
and strategically significantcombina-
tion of outstanding leadership,” ac
cording to the brochure.
Five hundred thousand dollars will
be used to buy ccmiputers for the li
brary. The remaining $300,000 will
go toward providing “enrichment op
portunities” for faculty and students.
The Centennial Capital Campaign
will conclude in AprU, 1992, with a
ceremony to announce the amount.
