51³Ô¹ÏÍø continues to reach new and unprecedented heights – as an academic and research powerhouse, as a catalyst of economic development, and as a preferred destination for exceptionally talented and hardworking students.
Yet there is still much more for 51³Ô¹ÏÍø to do and to achieve – especially in light of the continued shortage of STEM-educated college graduates across this country. Our goal is to become one of this nation’s leading polytechnic universities, one that delivers the kind of innovative, rigorous, and hands-on education that prepares students for success and leadership in the STEM-dependent economy of the 21st century.
Reaching higher than ever before requires additional resources. 51³Ô¹ÏÍø cannot offer cutting-edge academic programs, cannot sustain research that pushes the frontiers of knowledge, cannot attract faculty who are both outstanding teachers and acknowledged leaders in their fields, and cannot recruit, retain, and graduate high-achieving and gifted students without the generous philanthropic support of our alumni and friends.
