Dear Friends and Supporters of Jackson State University:
The Campaign for Jackson State, “Challenging Minds, Changing Lives,” is an empowering campaign that will weave its way into the annals of JSU’s already rich history of change and evolution. Jackson State is embarking on the single most significant fundraising effort in the history of this institution – and I personally invite you to participate in this notable cause.
     In recent years, we’ve made remarkable strides in rebuilding JSU and providing much-needed improvements to the “brick and mortar” foundation of our school. However, going far beyond new walls, this campaign is about minds. It is about dreams.
     The Challenging Minds, Changing Lives campaign is rooted in our passion and commitment to academic excellence and the future of Jackson State University. Your donations are critical so that we may significantly improve our ability to provide adequate student financial assistance; to attract and retain quality faculty; and to provide unrivaled program support that will empower the University through the 21st century and beyond.
     Please join me in our campaign to preserve, sustain and nurture one of the most important gifts we can give our students – the gift of a quality education that challenges minds and changes lives. On behalf of our faculty, our students and the community that we’re home to, I extend to you a privileged invitation to contribute to a cause that will impact the quality of our students – and the world they serve – for generations to come.
