The campaign will target scholarships, academics and student life.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is the first public campaign for LVC in quite a while and will have a significant impact now and into the future,\u201d MacLaren said.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Close to $70 million of the $100 million goal has already been committed through donor gifts. The impact of these funds can already be seen through the renovation of Bishop Library, the $5 million endowment for study abroad scholarships, a $5 million donation to name the nursing program and a $6 million donation to launch the engineering physics program.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGifts like these attract talented new students and faculty and strengthen LVC\u2019s reputation,\u201d MacLaren said.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Projects that will be beginning soon include a renovation for Lutz Hall, a new atrium for the Blair Music Center, a new wellness center with additional locker rooms connecting to the Arnold Sports Center and other improvements to the sports center.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Approximately 25 percent of LVC students engage in music and approximately 40 percent are student-athletes.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scholarships are also a key part of the campaign. These donations will go towards academic scholarships for students, as well as recruiting and retaining faculty.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe additional scholarship funds are needed as we strive to keep an LVC education affordable and work to lower debt at graduation,\u201d MacLaren said.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While students may be concerned about their tuition rising to fund these goals, MacLaren assured students that none of the projects will use revenue from tuition.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EverForward began in 2022 with the quiet, nucleus phase before going public this year. The College anticipates the campaign to be completed by 2030.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>By Ryan Talton \u201927, co-editor-in-chief\u202f&nbsp; \u202f&nbsp; The LVC community received an exciting announcement ahead of homecoming weekend this year.\u202f\u202f&nbsp; President James MacLaren announced EverForward, a $100 million capital campaign designed to improve the LVC experience <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/2026\/10\/17\/lvc-announces-100-million-capital-campaign\/\" title=\"LVC announces $100 million capital campaign\u202f\u00a0\">[...]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":17551,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,7,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-campus-news","category-front-page","category-homepage"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17550"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17552,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17550\/revisions\/17552"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
