Overview

Capital campaigns can be a source of excitement for the campus community, but can also be a source of questions, particularly from student organizations and leaders. How do campaign priorities get selected? Are tuition dollars being used to fund the campaign? Where is the campaign money coming from?

Join us online to learn how the University of Michigan has strategically integrated student involvement in their capital campaign with the use of an official student campaign committee. From identifying, recruiting, and selecting students for the committee, to training them and empowering them to assist with campaign work, our expert instructors share a comprehensive case study that will leave you equipped to better involve and educate students on your campus.

Who should attend?

Advancement professionals currently planning for or executing a capital campaign will learn how to leverage student involvement throughout the duration of the campaign.
