Alumnus Ed Ward, a longtime campus supporter, has made a $2.25 million commitment to the Athletics Department.
With just under a month to go before the close of the fiscal year, the Athletics has received $4.28 million, surpassing last year’s fundraising mark of $3.2 million.
“I received a great education from the university and really enjoyed my time there as I worked on my degrees. I feel I owe a lot to the university and that was the main reason for me doing this,” said Ward, who is a member of the Athletics Council and a board member of the Court Club.
