Campaign Progress – July 1, 2006, to April 30, 2012
Thanks to our generous donors, we have surpassed the original $350-million goal (Cornerstone and Legacy Campaigns combined), raising $358.1 million toward our extended $375-million goal. All gifts through June 30, 2012, will help us reach our goals for Trinity!
Come back, give back,
celebrate Trinity bonds
“Trinity alumni have a rare bond so that, even if you’re meeting a fellow alumnus for the fi rst time, you feel like family,” says Devon Lawrence ’07, a class agent, a member of her 5th Reunion Committee, and a new member of the Long Walk Societies. “Supporting the annual fund is important so prospective and current students have the opportunity to create the same bonds that we as alumni share,” says Lawrence, who lives in New York City, working as a development associate at the Robin Hood Foundation. “Whether I run into an old friend at an alumni event, sing Christmas carols in Brooklyn with fellow Trinity Pipes alums, or meet a former Trinity student by chance, I always feel a warmth and shared affection for Trinity.”
Invest in our kids (and other students, too)
Michigan
resident
Jeanine
Lunghamer
’85, P’15
says the
reason she
decided
to support
financial
aid at
Trinity is
that she
received aid herself as a student. “I would
not have been able to attend without aid.
Although it was still a financial challenge
for my family, we made it work.”
“My four years at Trinity were truly some of the most special years of my life,” she says. “My husband (Joseph Lunghamer ’85, P’15) and I love Trinity and want to encourage more students to attend from Michigan.”
Meanwhile, daughter Kristin Lunghamer ’15, has enjoyed Trinity from day one last year, beginning with participation in Quest, the pre-orientation outdoor adventure program for incoming first-year students. This summer, Kristin will be a sophomore counselor for Quest.
Lunghamer was pleased to learn of Career Services Challenges for alumni and parents who make a Trinity gift by June 30. If participation goals are reached, Trinity will receive $1.25 million to invest in Career Services. “As both alumni and parents, we want to see this succeed—so Trinity will be able to provide more support to students as they consider and develop career interests. Kristin just met with Career Services to update her résumé,” says Lunghamer. “She’ll also apply for an internship opportunity in the fall.”
