Oglethorpe University recently announced it has surpassed its $50 million “Our Time” campaign goal, the largest in its history.

The campaign was announced publicly in 2013, and it was envisioned that it would be completed in June 2017.

Instead, Oglethorpe was able to claim victory by raising $50.2 million nearly two years early. The campaign will benefit capital and program objectives including student scholarships, faculty teaching and growth in planned giving.

“The early culmination of the Our Time campaign demonstrates a broad-based commitment and effort, most notably from our alumni, Board of Trustees and friends in the foundation community,” said Oglethorpe University President Larry Schall.
