Centennial Campaign
Cameron celebrated its 100th birthday in 2008-09 with an observance entitled Cameron University: Changing Lives for 100 Years, 1908-2008.
As part of the Centennial Observance, Cameron launched an ambitious $8,500,000 Changing Lives Campaign, the first comprehensive campaign in Cameron's history. Campaign goals include:
| Student Activities Complex | $6,500,000 |
| Centennial Gardens | $500,000 |
| Endowed Faculty Positions | $650,000 |
| Student Scholarships | $600,000 |
| University Advancement | $250,000 |
Cameron increased the goal to $10,000,000 with a Dig Deeper Challenge to meet the goals for the Student Activities Complex, a state-of-the-art student center, and the Centennial Gardens, a beautiful place to study, relax, play and interact.
2 years into the 3-year campaign, over $9 million had been raised. At the completion of the campaign over $11 million was raised with endowed faculty positions surpassing its goal of $650K by more than 100% even though the money does not support actual faculty positions.

Famous quotes containing the word campaign:
“The fact that a man is to vote forces him to think. You may preach to a congregation by the year and not affect its thought because it is not called upon for definite action. But throw your subject into a campaign and it becomes a challenge.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
