Rose-Hulman receives national honor for fundraising success

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology received the Circle of Excellence in Educational Fund Raising Award during the 23rd annual meeting of the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education this summer in Washington, D.C.

The award honors outstanding fund-raising programs at selective colleges, universities, and independent K-12 institutions nationwide, according to Sarah Bray, vice president of the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).

An abstract of the highlights of Rose-Hulman’s development program will be distributed to institutions nationwide by CASE.

The abstract will also be included in CASE Best Book, on educational fund raising.

The award recognizes Rose-Hulman for the success it has had in nearing the goal of its $100 million Vision to be the Best fund-raising campaign.

Thus far, $88 million has been donated or pledged to the campaign which is the largest in Rose-Hulman history.
