We are asking for your support of the 2011 President's Challenge -- a six-month drive to raise $1 million to financially strengthen Wheeling Jesuit University. Your generous support in the past has helped place Wheeling Jesuit University at the forefront of academic excellence in our region. Our learning outcomes are demonstrated. In 2011, Forbes magazine ranked Wheeling Jesuit University in the top 10% of the nation's best colleges.

Our aim is to be recognized nationally as an institution whose programs are imitated and whose graduates are sought after among employers. Your contribution to the 2011 President's Challenge will provide the critical funds necessary to help our University invest in our students and faculty.

To show their continued support for the institution, the Jesuit Community and our Board of Directors have created a lead gift of $500,000. We invite you to rise to the challenge and help us match that gift dollar-for-dollar so that together, by December 31, 2011, we will have raised $1 million for the University we love.

Now is the time to make your gift. Together we can continue our pursuit to prepare students for life, leadership and service. Make Your Gift Online Now

The Annual Fund is an important source of private financial support that ensures the University meets its mission to educate students for life, for leadership, and for service with and among others. Gifts support student scholarships, library books, classroom equipment, academic research and much more. The Annual Fund provides vital resources that have allowed the University to achieve and maintain its current levels of educational excellence.

With the endorsement and approval of the University administration, WJU's athletic department has launched the Cardinal Athletic Scholarship Campaign to increase athletic scholarships. The goal is to raise $1 million over a five-year period. These endowed scholarships would be additional assistance above the annual $950,000 provided by the University, which the administration has pledged to continue at the current, or even at an increased level.
