51³Ô¹ÏÍø

51³Ô¹ÏÍø has announced the creation of four new endowed chairs, approved by the Board of Trustees during its January 2022 meeting, all made possible due to the generosity of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø alumni. 

Trustee emeritus Robert Fox ’59, GP’23,’25 has given $10 million to build Fox Hall at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø, the first residence hall of the University’s fifth Residential Commons. The gift was acknowledged by the Board of Trustees during its fall meeting, Sept. 30–Oct. 1.

Members of the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø classes of 2022–25 will now benefit from an additional expansion of the University’s no-loan initiative under the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Commitment.

On June 1, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø announced the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Commitment: An Initiative in Access and Affordability.

Daniel Benton ’80, P’10, H’10 has secured his place as 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s most generous benefactor, making a $25 million gift in support of the University’s Middle Campus Plan for Arts, Creativity, and Innovation and other elements within The Third-Century Plan.

Seven 51³Ô¹ÏÍø alumni joined Forbes Magazine’s 30 Under 30 list for 2020.

51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s 15th president, Rebecca S. Chopp, will be recognized for her leadership with an endowed chair in the humanities, named in her honor.

The Third-Century Plan, unveiled last May, underscores the University’s intention to recruit scholars of the first order for new tenure-track teaching positions. In keeping with its ambitious plan, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø is announcing a series of enhancements to faculty hiring packages.

Changes to 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Student Health Services this academic year will increase clinical care availability on campus while also bolstering sports-medicine support for Division I athletes, student club teams, and intramurals. 

A strategic framework focusing 51³Ô¹ÏÍø on the attainment of a series of long-term goals.
