Fiscal year 2016 marked a new era for the University of Mississippi as Chancellor Jeffrey S. Vitter took the reins and committed to shaping the university’s future; as academics and athletics received groundbreaking support in the form of their largest private gifts to date; as the University of Mississippi Medical Center announced a $100 million private giving campaign that promises increased excellence in pediatric health care; as more members of the Ole Miss family contributed to future successes through planned giving; and as donor participation jumped by more than 16 percent.
The University of Mississippi Foundation expresses sincerest gratitude to our generous alumni and friends. In an era when state funding comprises approximately 15% of the university budget, your support matters. Thank you for helping Ole Miss continue to be one of the nation’s greatest public institutions of higher learning.
