<p>From the start, Hopkins original goal was set at **$2 billion<a href=“start%202000,%20end%20Dec%202008”>/B</a>. Exceeded that 2 years ahead of schedule back in 2007.</p>
<p>Hopkins trustees then ambitiously raised the goal from $2 billion to $3.2 billion. It exceeded that figure back 5 months before the campaign was due to end in Dec of 2008 (Final count $3.741 billion) Exceeded only by Stanford’s $3.8 billion dollar campaign.</p>
<p>Then by Dec of 2008, Hopkins exceed its revised goal of $3.2 bn dollar goal by like… $540 million dollars.</p>
<p>Very interesting. JHU remains a top 5 fundraiser in 2009 despite having a new President and having the campaign ended in 2008.</p>
