NEW ROCHELLE, NY,
September 22, 2005 - CNR President Stephen Sweeny officially
kicked off the public phase of the capital campaign for the new
Wellness Center, during a gala celebration attended by over 200
alumnae/i and friends who have generously supported the College.
“With this campaign, CNR
moves boldly into its next century of service to students,” said Dr.
Sweeny. “Our goals for this campaign reflect the College’s philosophy
of the liberal arts ideal, dating back to Plato, in educating the whole
person – mind, body, and spirit.”
With a goal of $50 million, the
campaign will both fund the state-of-the art Wellness Center
– the first new building on campus in four decades – and provide
significant support of daily operating expenses through the Annual Fund
and a strengthened endowment.
“This is a moment of confidence
for the College as we commit to this unprecedented investment in the
future of this institution,” continued Dr. Sweeny.
And the investment appeared to
be already well underway with the announcement moments later by
Campaign Chair Christine LaSala SAS’72 that to date, the College had
raised $33.5 million -- more than two-thirds of the goal.
