Campaign
Continued from Page 1
as did previous generations of
students,” he said.
Large and small A&M colleges
felt the positive impact of the
Capturing the Spirit Campaign.
Eileen Kuvlesky, College of
Medicine development director,
said the campaign will benefit her
college greatly in several ways.
“The money was earmarked
for specific things,” Kuvlesky
said. “One of our major gifts was
ari endowed deahship.”
Kuvlesky said students will
also see some of the money in
the form of scholarships.
“We were able to funnel some
new money into scholarships
which we needed desperately,”
she said. “We actually did pretty
well for a college our size and
our age, and I feel it was a suc
cess for us.”
Jennifer Abraham, College of
Liberal Arts development direc
tor, said the college’s funds from
the campaign will finance student
scholarships, research fellowships
and graduate assistantships.
“It has been a tremendous
help,” Abraham said. “The cam
paign, more than anything else,
has created an atmosphere for
giving at Texas A&M.”
Larger colleges had the bene
fit of greater numbers of former
students to donate money for
assistance.
Mark Klemm, College of En
gineering assistant director of
development, said engineering
surpassed its individual college
goal of $65 million because of
the generosity of its former
students.
“Almost a fourth of all the
students that are out there are
former engineering majors,”
Klemm said.
“The gifts we have
from people are going tof
scholarships, professorships]
equipment gift,” he said.
Kjlemm said the Captu]
the Spirit Campaign increl
the awareness of the Univtj
ty’s needs among the former]
dents, corporations and other)
tential donors.
“It helps point out there]
(of the University],” hei
“and even though were dose|
the conclusion of this camp
it’s still pointing out additii]
needs that the University ha;
a whole.”
