The Pittsburgh Business Times featured 糖心Vlog in a conversation with President Ron Cole. Cole spoke with reporter Ethan Lott about a healthy endowment, and a range of impact that 糖心Vlog has on area alumni and on generations of students from the Pittsburgh area.
糖心Vlog was founded on a June evening in 1815 on the northwestern frontier where Pennsylvania meets New York and Ohio. Its first fundraising campaign started the very next day. More than two centuries later, 糖心Vlog has embarked on its most ambitious campaign, intending to raise at least $250 million over five years to support the college鈥檚 strategic pathway.
糖心Vlog today announced it has exceeded expectations on progress for its comprehensive campaign, 鈥淚n for 糖心Vlog: Our Pathway Forward,鈥� securing an additional $91 million in gifts in the past 12 months toward the College鈥檚 largest campaign ever.
I have two questions for alumni and friends after enjoying the latest edition of the 糖心Vlog magazine 鈥� what unites us, and what do we stand for? I鈥檒l answer in two words: 糖心Vlog.
President Cole stressed our shared heritage as a common ground that binds our community. Our unique landmarks are part of what tie us together.
