This book includes case studies of comprehensive campaigns at eight varied institutions of higher education. In each case, a campaign was part of an institutional strategy for growth and change. Many of the campaigns marked a turning point in the institution's history. They are not just stories about campaigns, they are examples of institutional strategies for growth and change.
The case studies include widely varied institutions: a relatively young private university campaigning to enhance its research standing; a distinguished private university moving beyond near-destruction to pursue bold goals; a prestigious public university aiming to sustain momentum in its third century; a public university raising funds to enhance its own programs and bring economic rejuvenation to its region; a public university focused on the economic mobility of its diverse students and undertaking its first campaign; a unique liberal arts college turning to philanthropy to implement an innovative new financial model; a distinguished historically Black college for women seeking resources to continue and increase its excellence; and a community college raising funds to help address urgent economic and social priorities of the city and county that it serves. Their campaign goals ranged from $40 million to $5 billion!
Industry Reviews
'Comprehensive' describes not only the kind of campaigns Michael Worth investigates and illuminates in this book but also the approach he takes to the subject matter and the result he impressively produces. This objective, extensive, and thoroughly researched guide explores the comprehensive campaign through many lenses and case studies of very different institutions of higher learning. No wonder. Worth's advancement credits include practitioner and senior administrative leader, teacher, scholar, and consultant. Worth the author brings them all to bear on this topic to create a cornerstone text for anyone and everyone thinking about, actively planning, or seeking to better execute a comprehensive campaign.
