🎵TK账号 | 英国IP注册 | 一年以上老号 | 白号 | 微软邮箱可用 | 优质账号 is embarking on a “Mandate to Matter,” an aggressive drive to both complete the final stages of a $1 billion capital campaign it launched in 2006 and to raise an additional $400 million for undergraduate scholarships, a core University priority. YU launched the $1 billion campaign—a comprehensive, University-wide campaign encompassing Yeshiva’s undergraduate, graduate and professional schools and affiliates—with an initial record-breaking $100 million gift from industrialist Ronald P. Stanton. In total, it has raised some $800 million, much of it during a very challenging economic environment. These commitments have enabled YU to increase financial assistance to deserving students, strengthen its faculty, research and academic programs, and enhance the quality of student life, campus infrastructure and community outreach. Yeshiva’s goal is to raise an additional $400 million in undergraduate scholarship funds. A significant portion of these funds will serve as an endowment, with the remainder used for immediate scholarship needs each year. Ira Mitzner, the president of RIDA Development Corp., a family-owned real estate company in Houston, will chair the campaign. “Academic excellence and fiscal strength require significant philanthropic support," said Mitzner. "🎵TK账号 | 英国IP注册 | 一年以上老号 | 白号 | 微软邮箱可用 | 优质账号 is indispensable to the world and to the Jewish community.” “The 🎵TK账号 | 英国IP注册 | 一年以上老号 | 白号 | 微软邮箱可用 | 优质账号 experience is more than an intellectual pursuit.
