Hampden-Sydney College memorably kicked off its capital campaign, “It’s time, good men,” with a $30 million investment from Endeavour Legacy Foundation, led by Mrs. Katharine P. and Dr. Eugene W. Hickok.
Dr. Eugene Hickock standing at a podium making an announcement to Hampden-Sydney College marked an extraordinary moment in Hampden-Sydney’s history as they launched the public phase of their financial campaign, “It’s time, good men,” with a memorable kickoff dinner in Snyder Hall.
The event was a wonderful celebration of the College’s proud past, exciting present, and ambitious future, with inspiring remarks from alumni, students, and President Stimpert.
The event featured announcements of major gifts that support the campaign’s two priorities: growing the endowment to fund access and advance the educational program and aligning the quality of the facilities with the quality of the educational experience we offer young men.
Among the evening’s highlights was the announcement of a $30 million investment from Endeavour Legacy Foundation, led by Mrs. Katharine P. and Dr. Eugene W. Hickok.
This visionary gift will endow multiple faculty and staff positions to grow and enhance the College’s curricular offerings in business, foreign affairs, and national security.
This builds on the foundation’s investments in Hampden-Sydney, including the recent $20 million commitment to the renovation of Gilmer Hall, which will house these newly endowed positions, among other generous contributions.
The Endeavour Legacy Foundation’s extraordinary generosity, combined with the $30 million investment by the Pauley Family Foundation that made possible the Pauley Science Center now totals $112.5 million.
Endeavour Legacy Foundation’s transformative investments align with the campaign’s priorities of expanding the endowment and strengthening the academic core, which will elevate the national profile.
By empowering the College to recruit top-tier faculty members who will expand the academic program in the areas of highest student demand, this investment will have a lasting impact on generations of Hampden-Sydney men.
This academic program expansion will strengthen Hampden-Sydney’s ability to attract and recruit talented students.
