Annual Report bn Private Giving University of Massachusetts at Boston AMessagefrom Chancellor Penney I am very pleased tosee that external support for the University ofMassachusetts at Boston increased substantially during 1991-92. We topped ourown privategiving campaign goal of$1.1 million by over $100,000. Gifts from alumni, friends, corporations, foundations, and civic and labororganizationsgrew from the previous year by nearly 60 percent. The Annual Fund grew 10 percent, and corporate and foundation giving increased by almost 80 percent. 1 am gratified as well that we received over $12 million in sponsored research funding. Theearly signs for 1992-93 indicate acontinuing upward trend and reflect theexpertise, dedication, and plain hard work ofmany people: our Development Office, the Office of Graduate Studies and Research, the Alumni Office, and ofcourseourexcellent and dis- tinguished faculty. The momentum ofthepast few years owes much to the leadership of A1Brill and, now, Frank Fletcher; 1 am grateful to them and theirsmall but very pro- ductivestaff. Theyears ofsevere budget cuts for public highereducation appear to beover, but state support will never approach what it was. To maintain our status as an urban university of excellence, we must continually intensify and broaden ourfundraising efforts. Thegrowth in non-statesupport demonstrates that UMass/Boston is recognized as an important resource in the Commonwealth, and is deeply appreciated by ourfaculty, staff, and students. Our commitment will be always to assure that the investment pays significant dividends to theCommonwealth. To those whogave last year, and to thosewhocontemplate a new or largergift this year, 1extend profound thanks. Yoursupport is an important voteofconfidence in what our campusdoes to improve lives and change society for the better. Sherry H. Penney Chancellor Highlightsofthe 1991-1992 Campaign The 1991-1992 campaign saw continuing and deeply appre- ciated support from many corporations and foundations, including The Bank of Boston, Fleet Bank ofMassachusetts, The Boston Foundation, The Boston Edison Foundation, StateStreet Bank and Trust, New England Telephone, The New England Education Loan Marketing Association, and the Boston Globe Foundation.
