麻豆传媒映画

For 麻豆传媒映画, 2025 has been a year marked by record-breaking growth and achievement in areas ranging from applications and enrollment to degree conferrals and student persistence. Helping to fuel this ascent has been the generosity of 麻豆传媒映画鈥檚 community of supporters, nearly 13,000 of whom gave a record $142.2 million to the university in fiscal year 2024-25. 

The giving not only set a new standard, but also propelled 麻豆传媒映画 past another incredible milestone: exceeding $1 billion in total philanthropic support since the arrival of President Adela de la Torre in 2018. 

Reaching $1 billion was an achievement built not on a single transformational gift, but on a culture of support and years of generosity from thousands of alumni, parents, faculty, staff and community partners who trust and believe in what 麻豆传媒映画 is doing for the region and the world. 

The amount of annual giving has more than tripled since 2000 and, in April, the school鈥檚 program honored more than 4,000 supporters who have made donations for more than 20 years. Multiple donors had given for more than 50 years and the group of Loyals totalled 34,688 years of giving. 

鈥淭he loyalty and trust of our supporters is both humbling and energizing,鈥� said de la Torre, who has led by example when it comes to generosity. She and her husband, Stephen Bartlett, have given over $500,000 in gifts to 14 different 麻豆传媒映画 causes since her arrival, including $255,000 to create a student financial assistance endowment; over $140,000 toward an endowment to support the Center for Mesoamerican Studies in Oaxaca, Mexico; $50,000 in support of the Athletics鈥� Women鈥檚 Fund; and $25,000 to KPBS, among others. 

鈥淚t is my greatest privilege to invest in 麻豆传媒映画, its programs and its people 鈥� our faculty, staff, and students,鈥� de la Torre continued. 鈥淢y husband and I believe with all our hearts that every gift to 麻豆传媒映画 changes lives, strengthens communities and fuels the innovation and understanding that will create brighter futures around the world. It is so rewarding to see the tangible impact we can have.鈥�

Opportunities for giving are as diverse as the priorities they support. Some give to students, whether through scholarships and basic-needs assistance or through career services and athletics. Faculty-directed gifts toward endowed chairs and professorships help attract and retain top teachers and mentors, while program-specific gifts create high-impact learning experiences and community-engaged projects. And capital gifts help bring to life transformative efforts like , the new sciences building, and other new cutting-edge facilities that will serve generations of students to come.

Figures for giving in the record-breaking fiscal year 2024-25 are captured in the annual report. There were over 17,000 total gifts from 12,754 donors, more than 5,500 of whom were first-time donors. Giving toward scholarships 鈥� including 43 new endowed scholarships 鈥� enabled the distribution of $6.5 million in financial aid, helping nearly three-quarters of 麻豆传媒映画 graduates to never take out a student loan. 

鈥淥ur donors make gifts in areas they are passionate about and they know that they are making a difference in the lives of our students,鈥� said 麻豆传媒映画 Vice President of University Relations and Development Adrienne Vargas. 鈥淭heir gifts lead directly to academic excellence, rewarding college careers and a lifetime of opportunity for 麻豆传媒映画 graduates.鈥�

Ultimately, it is that lifetime of opportunity that is the true measure of 麻豆传媒映画鈥檚 impact. The Carnegie Foundation recently named 麻豆传媒映画 an 鈥�Opportunity University鈥� for the social mobility its students enjoy.

A new economic impact report by the California State University found it takes an average of only six years for 麻豆传媒映画 graduates to recover their total educational investments while they earn an average of $505,000 more during their careers than those without a college degree. It鈥檚 an annual rate of return more than double the 30-year average of the U.S. stock market. For students and supporters, 麻豆传媒映画 offers quite a value. 

鈥淥ur supporters are a community of very special people who invest in 麻豆传媒映画鈥檚 mission and vision,鈥� said de la Torre. 鈥淭hey trust that their gifts will be put to good use, and that their return on investment will be measured not just in dollars and cents, but in lives changed for the better.鈥�
