Ƶ Magazine Watch The Ƶ Fund Grow
With limited resources, Ƶ has built an academic program that commands national respect and recognition. The recent “U.S. News & World Report” survey of America’s Best Colleges proves this point. Ranked in the third tier of the leading liberal arts colleges in the country, Ƶ spends far less per student than the other schools in its grouping.
By addressing critical needs in annual operations, The Ƶ Fund will establish a stronger financial base for the college and enable it to continue—and strengthen—its outstanding program.
The Ƶ Fund supports student scholarships, faculty compensation, campus maintenance, acquisition of new technology, and other annual operating expenses. Gifts earmarked for these purposes or listed as unrestricted count toward the $950,000 goal.
During the first quarter of the current fiscal year, the college received $126,442 for The Ƶ Fund. Dr. Edward E. Birch, executive vice president, expects that figure to increase substantially in the second quarter as alumni/ae, parents, and friends make traditional year-end gifts to Westmont.
