A FUTURE SO
BRIGHT
From its 2012 inception, the comprehensive ASPIRE Campaign set out to be the largest, boldest
fundraising venture in the history of Jacksonville University. Now, six years later, that challenge has
been met. Thousands of investors believed so much in this university's work and collective potential that
the contributions have now surpassed ASPIRE's original $85 million goal by $36.4 million—and ahead of
schedule, two years before the campaign's planned closing date.
The five areas highlighted here represent only a small portion of ASPIRE's tremendous and historic
impact. A complete look at the campaign's effect on JU would include nearly every facet of campus,
including academics, athletics, campus life, infrastructure, faculty, staff and most importantly, students.
The celebration of this campaign does not mark an end. Instead, ASPIRE marks a commemoration of
progress and will serve as a foundation for our bright future.
