Coe now has an opportunity to improve teaching and research, impacting future generations of students and helping the college to maintain its lead in science and technology. Enrollments have increased significantly at Coe in recent years, and the rate of growth in the sciences has surpassed that of the college as a whole. In addition, the departments housed in Peterson Hall represent areas that have experienced great technological change impacting pedagogy. The need for a modern, state- of-the-art science facility is all the greater because of the sheer quality of Coe’s science programs and faculty. Further- more, the growing national recognition of the science programs has created an urgent need for modernizing teaching and research spaces to continue to move to the next level of academic excellence. To maintain and build on this hallmark, Coe envisions the expansion, reconfiguration and renovation of Peterson Hall. The project will entail the construction of a 32,000- square-foot addition. Further, it will involve reconfiguring Those attending the Defining Moment Campaign kickoff at Coe were treated to a dance following the program with music provided by The Bill Carson Big Band. space throughout the existing building, creating classrooms and laboratories that are flexible. With the combination of a faculty of enviable quality and a modern facility, the possibilities for achievement will be endless. Coe Fund Goal: $7 million While the Defining Moment Campaign marches forward to ensure the college’s future, Coe is equally committed to maintaining the excellence of its educational programs at present. The importance of the Coe Fund is underscored by the lives it touches. Academic programs for students, faculty and staff development, essential equipment, and new technology are just a few of the ongoing priorities that are supported by the Coe Fund. The Coe Fund is a resource to help the college meet its most pressing needs each year. Not surprisingly, the Coe Fund is one of the main components of the Defining Moments Campaign. Campus Expansion Project Goal: $7 million Through strategic planning, it became evident to Coe leaders in the fall of 2005 that preparations should be made with the long-term goal of increasing the physical size of the campus. Coe’s enrollment has grown to record levels, increasing by more than 20 percent over the last decade, with the largest number of students living on campus in institutional history. The resulting Campus Expansion Project was undertaken to accommodate comfortably the needs of the college at its current student population level and in anticipation of possible future needs. Since January 2006, the college has acquired two- thirds of the properties in the identified area adjacent to the campus between 14th Street NE and 15th Street NE along A Avenue NE, B Avenue NE, and C Avenue NE. The Defining Moment Campaign seeks funding to continue the acquisition of property within Winter | 2008

As the college acquires this property, it will be converted to green space for athletics and intramurals. Along with beautifying the campus and Coe College Courier creating a more attractive setting for current and pros- pective students, the additional space gives the college flexibility in considering future construction projects, should they prove necessary. More than 20 people attended the campaign kickoff event at the Colorado home of John Strohm ’79 and Mary Pat Link. It was one of 22 satellite locations for the largest event in Coe’s history. The Campus Expansion Project is vital for the future success of Coe, but it also has the potential to serve as a catalyst for revitalization in the college’s lower northeast side neighborhood, including the adjoining business district. Special Projects Goal: $5 million A “Special Projects” category has been established within the Defining Moment campaign to fund other college projects or programs that may result from the campaign. Lori Sturdevant ’74 welcomes guests and kicks off the program in Minneapolis. For more information about Defining Moment: The Campaign for Coe, visit www. coe.edu/campaign. 23 www.coe.edu
