L e t t e r f r o m t h e Pr e s i d e n t Making Things Happen This year’s Special Report on Philanthropy details a pivotal event in our University’s history: the dedication of the Christine and Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Library and Learning Center on our Prescott Campus. I call this event pivotal because it illustrates the power of philanthropy and the vital role it plays in the advancement of our institution. Philanthropy makes things happen at Embry-Riddle. Not only does it build libraries and other state-of-the-art facilities, it funds scholarships, cuttingedge research and technology, and new academic programs that keep our graduates at the forefront of industry. Philanthropy also engages our community of alumni and friends in the progress and prosperity of the University. As we raise the bar in our mission to be the leader in aviation and aerospace education, our donors get to see their contributions hard at work advancing the quality of education, training and research. This was another strong year for philanthropy at Embry-Riddle. Our progress over the last two fiscal years has been unprecedented. Fiscal Years 2007 and 2008 represent the most successful consecutive fundraising years in our University’s history, with a combined total of $16.4 million. In these pages are the names of all who have helped us set this new standard in generosity. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to all who share in our vision to be the “World’s Leader in Aviation and Aerospace Education.” With your passionate support, we will continue the legacy of greatness that defines our extraordinary University. Warmest regards, John P. Johnson, Ph.D. President PHILANTHROPY REPORT 1
