Campaign Priorities
The Achieving New Heights campaign provides students with the support and resources they need to meet current demands and prepare to serve the community as tomorrow’s leaders in healthcare excellence.
Funding will be used for the following:
Expanding Access
The immersive, hands-on approach to professional healthcare education which is practiced at Bellin College has proven to produce exceptionally qualified, career-ready graduates.
The Achieving New Heights campaign seeks to raise $10 million to fund additional programs and space that will allow more students to spend more time in the learning environment.
The Bellin College education model is immersive, experiential, and highly professional. While many traditional colleges and universities are now scrambling to adopt this approach, the infrastructure and mindset is already established and proven at Bellin College.
Removing Financial Barriers
When a person with the character and qualities for a career in health and healing is unable to pursue their calling, the whole community loses. A brief analysis of the emerging talent in our region paints a serious picture that needs attention. Increasingly, the best and brightest are coming from demographic backgrounds that do not have access to the means and resources to support higher education. We must invest in them because we need their talent, we need their gifts.
Talent that remains undeveloped and unactualized will forever be unshared.
$5 million raised through this Achieving New Heights campaign will be used to expand the scholarship fund, especially to increase the availability of needs-based scholarships. In this way, your contribution will help change the lives of people who, in turn, will help heal the lives of many others.
Upgrading Facilities
Student population and program growth, combined with an exceptionally fast accreditation process for the DPT degree offering, have eclipsed campus space more quickly than planned or anticipated.
Building needs have changed with program growth
- Expanded science labs (12-person lab currently, need two 24 person labs)
- More classroom space
- Testing Center for Accommodations (12 spaces)
- Area for DPT Program
- More office spaces for faculty and staff
- Study space for students (mix of areas: quiet/group/soft/desk seating)
- Additional parking
- Student amenities
- Capacity: current building was planned and designed for 650 students
- Storage space (HSRC, Library)
