Southern Arkansas University has launched the boldest fundraising initiative in its 110-year history. The Love and Loyalty Campaign aims to strengthen SAU\u2019s commitment to affordability and innovation. The University\u2019s public launch of the campaign took place through a series of events on Friday, December 6 and Saturday, December 7. During that time, alumni and friends experienced the advancements taking place at SAU. Attendees enjoyed a variety of activities including a trapshooting demonstration, rocket launch, presentation of student research posters, a reception with coaches, and more.<\/p>\n
Through the Love and Loyalty Campaign, the University seeks to raise $22 million over five years to benefit student enrichment, faculty and staff support, academic programs, student life and community engagement, revitalized facilities and athletics. A major focus of this effort is the strengthening of the SAU Foundation endowment, which annually provides resources for scholarships, academic enrichments, professorships, and athletics.<\/p>\n
