Academics are Everything
For more than 150 years, Doane has provided a premier liberal arts education as one of the leading universities in Nebraska. This campaign will ensure that tradition continues.
Why Invest in Education?
A university is only as strong as its education. At Doane, educating our students is our number one priority. Investing in our faculty and professional staff will help Doane attract and retain the brightest and best students and employees. Through the Our Time to Lead comprehensive campaign, Doane will endow faculty chair positions, invest in technology and resources, provide enhanced opportunities for faculty development, and more.
As national enrollments in higher education continue to drop, students will have their pick of universities, programs, and development opportunities. To thrive in the future, we must ensure our undergraduate and graduate programs not only teach students but also prepare them to thrive in their careers.
Faculty & Staff Development
Investments in the critical team members who make Doane’s high-quality, liberal arts education possible for students from across the globe.
Improvement not Complacency
The programs at Doane do more than provide education – they build leaders. Doane graduates gain knowledge and critical thinking skills that prepare them to enter or return to the workforce as wave makers, not just employees. Building on this excellence requires continual investment in faculty, programs, facilities, and more. We must evolve to meet the future.
Invest in Academic Excellence
Endowing academic chairs and professorships is a proven way to fund critical faculty positions in perpetuity. It offsets yearly salary expenses while still giving professors and students confidence that their degree programs and positions will continue to thrive.
To meet our vision of academic excellence both today and into the future, the following gifts are needed:
Faculty Development & Incubator Center – $1,500,000
Endowed Development Chairs (5) – $1,000,000 each
Endowed Professorships (5) – $100,000 each
