About

Thanks to the inspiring support of our devoted alumni and donors, The Legacy Campaign for South Campus has gained tremendous momentum. In addition to doubling our campus footprint to more than 1,000 acres and adding 104,000 square feet for classrooms and much-needed student housing, the acquisition of the Grandfather Home for Children property has significant long-term benefits for the college and the greater High Country community including:

  • Expansion of distinctive academic programs and co-curricular offerings such as Wildlife Biology and Rehabilitation, Outdoor Recreation Management, and Hospitality and Tourism. 
  • Increased opportunities for experiential learning and research that supports the stewardship of rare and diverse environmental resources. 
  • Ongoing promise of ecologically based revenue streams, including conservation banks and other protective easements. 

Local business, Root Down Hair Studio, has pledged to match $100 per donor to the Legacy Campaign (up to $1,000) this Giving Day!
