What Does $45 Million Mean to UB?

Category: Advancement

Thank You.

Need we say more? Thanks to the remarkable generosity of our donors, Uniquely UB: The Campaign for the University of Baltimore has ended on a record-setting note, raising $45 million. That’s almost double the funds raised in any previous single capital campaign at UB, not to mention 12 percent more than the campaign’s $40 million goal. In our estimation, that’s nothing short of amazing.

Because of you, UB has substantial new funding to support scholarships for deserving students, to attract and retain first-rate teachers and scholars, and to improve its facilities and technology. Overall, the campaign’s success will allow UB to continue serving as a leading-edge, 21st-century university and to meet the needs of both current and future students.

But we don’t want just to express our thanks. We’d rather show you exactly what that $45 million can do and the unquestionable impact it has already had and will continue to have on the University community.
