UNCA to Announce Comprehensive Campaign Goal on April 12

UNC Asheville Chancellor James Mullen will announce the goal of the university's first comprehensive campaign at a kick-off event Wednesday evening at the Grove Park Inn. The campaign targets several critical areas that are underfunded: student scholarships, faculty excellence, intergenerational and multicultural initiatives, community partnerships and service learning, and campus technology.  

"UNC Asheville has arrived at a critical juncture in its history, with extraordinary challenges and extraordinary opportunities," Chancellor Mullen said. "The growing pressures on the state budget and our attempt to control the level of tuition increases are limiting our resources. But we cannot allow this to limit our vision. This campaign is about the future of this university, its students and its community."
