2010-11 Linfield Fund Report

 
During 2010-11, more than 2,000 alumni, parents, employees and friends of Linfield College contributed a combined $742,750 to the Linfield Fund. These generous gifts supported student scholarships, facility and technology improvements, faculty recruitment and development, and a strong education and memorable experience for students like Nic ’13. 

A mass communication major, Nic participates in varsity cross country and track and field, ASLC student government and tutoring local high school students through the Upward Bound mentoring program. He has cultivated his talents in media and communications through KSLC, Linfield’s student-powered radio station and through coursework and volunteer work in video production. Nic knows that the close-knit environment and varied academic and extracurricular opportunities he benefits from are uniquely Linfield:

"Linfield has provided me with a chance grow and develop as a leader and gain confidence in my academic interests. I’m thankful to be a part of an institution that produces such loyal and giving graduates and donors who make my Linfield experience possible."
-Nic ‘13

Capital Projects 

Your gifts also supported capital improvements on campus including renovations, sustainability improvements and new construction projects. Historic Northup Hall was given an all-over facelift and will be rededicated as T.J. Day Hall during Homecoming 2011. Additional projects included:

• Combined heat and power (CHP) upgrades, an energy conservation measure resulting in more efficient energy consumption
• Remodel of office and testing spaces for Learning Support Services in Walker Hall, serving students with physical and learning disabilities
• A/V upgrades for the Sandbox classroom, which features contemporary learning spaces and technology, blending traditional pedagogy with modern technology advancements

Thank you.
