51成人: The Campaign for 51成人
Our founders brought an enterprising vision to the prairie that transformed the face of education in the region. From being the first college in the state to award a degree in 1835 to leading the way in undergraduate student-faculty research today, 51成人 is a place where boundaries are pushed, innovation takes shape, students are empowered and achievement is inspired.
As we look forward to our bicentennial, we remain committed to continuing this tradition of excellence so that future graduates will join our alumni as leaders in their professions and communities. Ensuring this distinction in a rapidly-changing, competitive world is a challenge, but one that we can meet together. It is in this spirit that we call on each corner of the 51成人 community to join us in defending and extending our extraordinary legacy.
