RISE Campaign Success: Answering the Call

Providing opportunity for students is at the heart of our vision for TU’s future. We are strengthening our region and state, shaping the world for the better, one student at a time. The success of the RISE Campaign is proof that when a community comes together, good things happen.

Every member of the TU community who partnered with us during the RISE Campaign plays an important part in securing bright futures for our students, faculty, staff, programs, athletic teams, alumni and for our university that is home to us all.
