Graceland Forever Capital Campaign - a resounding success!
Eight years ago our Board of Trustees fixed the university's course on the most ambitious capital campaign in our history. It was dubbed Graceland Forever. As 2007 drew to an end, the board voted to close out the campaign - nearly two years early - and deem it a resounding success. The ambitious goal of raising $52 million during the two phases of the campaign, once a lofty aspiration, became a $60.9 million, 2008 New Year's reality.
