Nearly one-third, or $25 million, of the $80 million Campaign goal is designated for faculty and student programs and unrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund, essential support which provides for scholarships and the financial flexibility that allows the College to maintain its day-to-day quality of operations and to respond to new opportunities and challenges as they arise. The remaining amount of the Campaign goal — $55 million — is dedicated to five first-of-their-kind funds for Wheelock: endowments for Student Scholarships, Professorships, Innovation, and Technology Enhancement and Innovation, and a fund for Campus Facilities Projects. The Campaign for Wheelock “ We all know that what makes Wheelock unique is its mission to improve the lives of children and families.

It was amazing to hear from them how educational technologies, both at the college level and at the elementary school level, are proliferating and changing practically overnight. Informed as we were about the need for endowed funds for technology, the surprise announcement later in the evening that the endowment had been completely funded was exciting to the 10th power, and welcomed with cheers!
