You Passed Your Light

Together, Tigers gave more than $113,292,118.45 during our Having Light: The Campaign for Â鶹´«Ã½ University — more than any fundraising campaign in our history. Every single donor became part of something bigger, so much so that we exceeded our goal by more than $13 million. Because of the generosity shown, lives have been changed, the skyline of Springfield has transformed, and the academic enterprise has been elevated, along with every facet of the Â鶹´«Ã½ experience.

Stats That Shine

Together, we exceeded expectations to support all that defines us: the people, who inquire, create, and compete here; the place, where we gather as a community and welcome others to learn and grow; and the present, when the next generation of Â鶹´«Ã½ graduates learns to pass on its light.

In Their Own Words

“'Having light' means different things to different people. Light can mean passion, talent, knowledge, wisdom, a divine spark, or the light of grace. Our light is our legacy. Thank you for sharing yours."
