Misericordia fund raising tops goal by 22 per cent ® College Misericordia’s compre- hensive fund raising efforts for the 1987-88 academic year exceeded the goal by 22 percent. The overall results, which include the Annual Fund Campaign, have placed Mis- ericordia’s total fund raising for the fiscal year ending June 30, at $843,150. This total also includes additional grants, foundation awards and other sources. The Col- lege’s overall goal for the year was $660,000. With the help of alumni, commu- nity friends and business volun- teers, Misericordia finished its Annual Fund Drive with a total of @25 344, exceeding the campaign goal of $260,000. The community phase of the Annual Fund Drive was under the leadership of Cam- paign Chairman, Charles “Rusty” Flack, president of Diamond Manu- facturing, with the help of more than 40 volunteers. Community friends and business contributed the record amount of $142,000 to the Annual Fund. Joseph Bradley, president of Golden Business Machines, has accepted the chair- “manship’ of the community-friends hase of next year’s Annual Fund ampaign. “It’s exciting to be part of a successful campaign which is sol- idly supported by the community Wand friends of Misericordia,” said Flack. ‘““These gifts help improve the quality of education at Miseri- cordia and, for the 85 percent of the students who need financial assistance these gifts make a Mis- ericordia education possible.” The Alumni Phase, which was successfully chaired by Elizabeth Umphred ’83, went beyond its established goal of $110,000 by $800. More than 37 percent of Misericor- dia’s alumni, which exceeds the national college average, responded @ith cash contributions to the goal. Umphred said that alumni support Back Mountain for the newly established scholar- ship fund for children of alumni was indicative of the confidence of alumni in the quality of a Miseri- cordia education. ‘‘Misericordia’s successful fund raising efforts are gratifying for two reasons,” said Dr. Joseph R. Fink, president. “We now have the resources to carry through improvement plans, and the response of our supporters tells us that they believe in the direction of the college.” The funds raised by alumni, stu- dents and community volunteers assist students with financial aid, provide support for faculty develop- ment, and help the College expand undergraduate and graduate pro- grams. A successful Annual Fund Drive also helps ensure a ‘balanced budget. During the year, an endowed scholarship named the ‘‘Margaret C. Morrissey Memorial Scholarship Fund” was established following specifications in the will of Eliza- beth Curran. Misericordia depends on the generosity of community friends and alumni who remember the college and its graduates through memorial gifts. Fund raising efforts by the Col- lege included government grants for programs in nurse training, nurse assistant training and teacher training for learning disa- bled students. Foundation awards included scholarships for The Char- lotte W. Newcombe Foundation, an organizatiion which helps provide financial aid to mature second- career women students. One of only 34 colleges and universities across the nation to receive this award, Misericordia was cited by the Foundation for ‘‘excellent suppor- tive services which the College provides to mature returning women students.” students make Penn State spring Dean’s List Several Back Mountain residents qualified for the dean’s list at Penn State for the spring semester.
