CMC Makes History!
|
|
Claremont McKenna College raised nearly $1.1 billion in its Campaign for CMC: Responsible Leadership, breaking a fund-raising record among all liberal arts colleges and far exceeding its goal of $800 million. The most successful fund-raising endeavor in its 75-year-plus history, CMC is the first liberal arts college to pass $1 billion in a campaign!
“This result is a testament to the commitment of our CMC community,” said David G. Mgrublian ’82 P’11, Chair of the Claremont McKenna College Board of Trustees. “The magnitude of the gifts redefine what is possible for CMC as it pursues its singular mission to prepare students for thoughtful and productive lives and responsible leadership in business, government, and the professions.”
