  • Our New Goal: $1 Billion

    When The Campaign to Advance Our Great University was publicly launched in June 2002 (read more), its $850 million goal was the largest in Iowa history.

    As of April 2004, the campaign had passed the $730 million mark with less than two years remaining until the official conclusion on December 31, 2005.

    What was an ambitious campaign goal five years ago appears to be within our grasp. But if the UI is to fulfill its aspirations in this rapidly changing world, the University must be even more bold in charting a course for the future. And so the time has come to extend our reach.

    The University of Iowa has publicly announced that
    Good. Better. Best. Iowa will seek to raise $1 billion
    in private contributions by the end of 2005.

    This ambitious goal places the UI in elite company -- one of only 22 public colleges and universities nationwide to have conducted billion-dollar campaigns. Even more impressive, Iowa will be the third smallest public, comprehensive university to do so (along with the prestigious University of Virginia and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill).

    How will we reach this milestone in UI history? By redoubling our efforts to meet existing, unfunded campaign priorities and achieving a series of new and expanded objectives, identified by UI President David Skorton, that will succeed in making Iowa's flagship university even better.
