Amount raised in FY25 for the President's Fund for Reimagining Excellence.
The President's Fund for Reimagining Excellence is supporting our investment in the living and learning experience of our students—and to the quality of the human and physical infrastructure that facilitates their success. Through this fund, we invested in the operations and expansion of our admissions and enrollment capacity, completely renovated the lower-level of the Gengras Student Union in support of our student groups and organizations, and continued the important work of campus updates and beautification projects.
"As we boldly lean into an exciting and promising future, UHart is thoughtfully investing in the success and experience of our students."

This opportunity excites me because it allows me to share my work with others, exchange ideas, and build connections with like-minded individuals in the field.”
