Together Forward Campaign
Hornets are leading the way to a brighter future
Together, Forward! It's our rallying cry.
On Founders Day, having raised $42,000,000 since 2017, we set our sights on an inspiring goal – $50,000,000 by Homecoming 2021.
We didn’t just meet the goal; we beat the goal. We raised $54,852,637!
But this is only the beginning. We are aiming higher. $75,000,000.
There is so much more we can achieve and so many lives we can change.

Student Impact
Student Led Research

Creating Bright Futures
"I just like the feeling of running and jumping. You have that moment when you leave the ground, and you're hanging there, just floating. Nothing goes through my head when I long jump. I'm just out there and probably the most relaxed that I ever am." That's how Jazmin Williams describes her 'baby', the long jump.
