Investing in Excellence: The Campaign for Pacific

Pacific has just completed the most ambitious campaign in its history by raising $330 million to support scholarship, facilities, and the relationships built between students, faculty, and alumni. Pacific is positioned today to make extraordinary advances. Many of our academic programs are known nationally.

The Campaign for Pacific included a number of important projects:

• At $30 million, the new University Center was the largest project in Pacific's campaign.
• A new Biological Sciences Center was part of the campaign.
• A new multipurpose gymnasium/practice facility and a new baseball stadium.
• A new Technology Center.
• The library addition is nearing completion.

This ambitious fundraising initiative drew strong support from alumni, parents and friends. Last June, Kent Lathy, who attended Stockton College from 1947 to 1949, donated real estate valued at $4 million. Proceeds from its sale will be used to help support the construction of a Biological Sciences Center, the new University Center, and to help endow the Brubeck Institute.

The Health Sciences Learning Center and Clinics, part of this comprehensive campaign, have already been completed. Recommendations for current facilities include expansion of Wendell Phillips Center, upgraded dental clinics, substantial renovation to the Alex G. Spanos Center, expanding the aquatics facilities and renovation of Chris Kjeldsen Pool, addition of a recording studio to the Conservatory of Music, and numerous classrooms and laboratories in most of the academic buildings on campus.
