Excerpts:

"University of Michigan is on the precipice of another large fundraising campaign, Vice President for Development Jerry May told a group of faculty members Monday.

U-M’s last fundraising campaign “The Michigan Difference,” which ended in 2008, raised $3.2 billion dollars over five years. The school raised $273 million in fiscal 2010-2011, an increase of 7 percent over the previous year.

“Knock, knock!!” Mr. Page, are you home?? :p

P.S. Personally, I think it’s a great strategic move from Michigan’s Development Office. I only wish MSU would start doing the same! After all, Mr. Eli Broad had already donated approx. $half-billion to both Harvard and MIT, in addition to UCLA, UCSF, Cal Tech & USC since he has been living in CA for the last few decades.
