Campaign For Claremont McKenna
- Claremont McKenna is currently undertaking the largest campaign ever initiated by a liberal arts college. The Campaign, officially announced in March 2008, aims to raise $600 million by 2012.
- The Campaign for Claremont McKenna calls for commitments in five priorities:
• $110 million for students: need-based financial aid and merit scholarships, internships, research, speaker series, and other experiences
• $110 million for faculty: chairs, research, and new curricula
• $100 million for facilities: new buildings, renovations, and master planning projects
• $200 million for the Robert Day Scholars Program
• $80 million for The Fund for CMC: operating costs
As part of the campaign, the college built the Kravis Center, an academic building that includes classrooms, faculty offices and research areas. The building, designed by Rafael Viñoly, was completed in 2011. It is named after alumnus Henry Kravis '67 of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts who donated $75 million for the building.
