The Plan for the Future

March 2013

In 2011, we embarked on the Soaring to Victory Capital Campaign when we were faced with a generational opportunity to impact the entire athletics program, the university, the community and the region. This eight-year multi-level campaign will ensure the attainment of our vision of “Rings and Diplomas” for all student-athletes, and will guide the athletics program for the next twenty-five years.

Thus far, $12,721,000 million has been raised for campaign priorities. The vast majority of these monies has been raised for the Football Operations Center. Construction is anticipated late spring 2013.

Additional Soaring to Victory Projects

The Soaring to Victory Capital Campaign has identified projects necessary to the attainment of our vision and are being funded by alternative means. 

• Paulson Stadium Expansion
• Installed lights at the Soccer/Track complex
• Competed renovation of the lower level Hanner Field House seating
• Construction of a batting cage for softball
