HONOR ROLL OF DONORS JULY 1, 2019–JUNE 30, 2020 Celebrating 100 Years DEAR ALUMNI & FRIENDS OF IMMACULATA, Enclosed is our Honor Roll of Donors for Fiscal Year 2019/20. As you look through the report you will see the names of others, like you, who understand how important philanthropic giving is to higher education. We are humbled and sincerely grateful for the depth of your generosity during what can only be described as an unimaginable conclusion to our Centennial Year. Thank you for your unwavering support of the University and our students, even as you face your own challenges related to COVID-19. Despite the disruption and uncertainties that this past spring brought us, I am happy to report that we are making progress towards our fundraising goals. As you know, the Parsons Science Pavilion Campaign is underway and I am happy to report that we have successfully raised 80% of the cost for this new facility. This milestone strongly reflects your commitment to excellence for our University. The Parsons Science Pavilion will be a game changer for all of our students who are required to take science courses. Our Nursing program is thriving and this new facility will provide our aspiring nursing students the labs and the equipment they deserve. As we look to the future, we still have much work to do, funds to raise, alumni to engage and projects to accomplish. We are about to enter the second century of Immaculata and I invite you to remain our loyal alumni and friends. I ask for your continued support and prayers. May the remainder of 2020 be safe and healthy for you and your families. I look forward to seeing everyone back on campus for our Centennial Gala in October 2021. Sincerely, Barbara Lettiere ’72 President DEAR MEMBERS OF THE IMMACULATA UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY, It is with great pleasure that we present the Honor Roll of Donors for Fiscal Year 2019/20 (July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020). Through your dedicated generosity throughout the past year, our students benefitted from your interest and support. Your philanthropy provided financial aid and scholarships, enlightening new programs and enhanced academic opportunities. This year we also offer our grateful thanks to the Parsons Family and other generous donors for their support of the Capital Campaign for the Parsons Science Pavilion. The campaign has now successfully reached 80% of our goal. Starting in August 2020, we proceeded with design and land development approvals. On behalf of Immaculata University’s students, faculty and staff, we remain most grateful to those of you who have loyally supported Immaculata. We hope your support will inspire all alumni to demonstrate through giving why we are called the Mighty Macs!
