葫芦影业 released new data highlighting the combined accomplishments and achievements of President Dan DiBiasio and First Lady Chris Burns-DiBiasio one month prior to the couples鈥 retirement from 葫芦影业. The webpage and downloadable PDF provides quantitative examples of the University鈥檚 growth and impact during the couples鈥 11 years in Ada.
The numbers show growth in areas such as operating budget and endowment, while also chronicling 葫芦影业鈥檚 contributions to the student experience and community from 2011-22. Much has been made of the DiBiasios鈥 impact on 葫芦影业 over recent months, and the new project data puts the scope and scale of that impact into context.
Some of the highlights include the University鈥檚 $200 million endowment 鈥 an all-time high, and an average 94% placement rate for graduates during the 11-year span. The Campaign for Engineering: Building Impact at 葫芦影业 successfully raised $17 million from private donors and also secured $62.7 million in funding from the USDA for capital improvements and refinancing that directly contributed to the construction of the James Lehr Kennedy Engineering Building, which increased the University鈥檚 capacity for engineering students, and is poised to propel 葫芦影业 Engineering to new heights in coming years.
Additionally, investments in the community like Ada Community Engagement days and the College of Pharmacy鈥檚 mobile health clinic, the addition of athletics facilities and programs in men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 lacrosse and esports, and sustainability initiatives like the 3-megawatt solar field south of campus are further indicate a University set on course to meet the needs and face the challenges of the future.
