Of that total, more than $40 million was raised in 2008- 09 for student scholarships, research, and academic programs. Although contributions were down sharply from the previous record year, funds raised exceeded earlier projections due to a Chancellor Henry T. Yang and Daniel P. Burnham remarkable increase in the number of gifts received. n Since the campaign was launched in 2000, we are proud to report that 57 endowed professorships have been established to enhance teaching and research and 139 fellowships were created to attract outstanding students. Campus facilities greatly enhanced by private support include the new Education, Social Sciences, and Media Studies Complex of three buildings on the west side of the campus. n California was hit particularly hard by the economic downturn, resulting in huge budget reductions for the University of California and its campuses. Planning is now under way at UC Santa Barbara to identity priorities for the next phase of our campaign that will help protect and build on what we have already achieved. n Please accept our heartfelt appreciation for your extraordinary support. Your partnership will continue to play a pivotal role in enabling our campus to respond to fiscal challenges in ways that do not compromise our commitment to quality, innovation, access, and excellence.
