Donations totaled more than $2 million for McMurry’s Annual Fund. University President Sandra Harper says they’re investing those funds in scholarships and other programs that impact the student experience, “Study abroad, study away, a sophomore summit. I think it’s really neat because it helps people start envisioning early on in their college career what they may end up wanting to do. Starting to make connections and networking, before they’re at the very end of their college career and then go, ‘Now what do I do?’”
McMurry also raised more than $7.5 million for the university’s endowment and nearly $13 million for capital projects.
McMurry will wrap up its Centennial celebrations this school year and embark on its second century of higher education in Abilene. Classes start August 29th.
