The challenge is clear: We must invest in Wagner’s legacy of excellence to ensure a future of distinction.
“Putting Wagner First: The Campaign for Wagner College” will build upon Wagner’s legacy of excellence and match its resources to its aspirations, guaranteeing a future of distinction. Financially stable, Wagner College is in the healthiest financial position it has enjoyed since its founding. Now, our challenge is to secure this stability for the future. “The challenge that Wagner faces now is to solidify its competitive edge,” states Jay P. Hartig, Chair, Board of Trustees. “In order to perpetuate our strengths, we must expand endowment funding, enlarge our appeal to students, and attract and retain faculty of the highest possible quality while we embark on the plans to educate a diverse student body with high potential.” To build on Wagner’s legacy of excellence, Wagner will undertake a major capital campaign to raise $50 million. The campaign will address three critical areas: the endowment fund, campus enhancement and the annual fund.
