Bryn Mawr College has launched a $250 million campaign to raise money for student scholarships, faculty recruitment, campus upgrades and other efforts.
The women's college on Monday announced the new fundraising effort, "Defy Expectation."
The college already raised $135 million of the goal during the quiet phase of the campaign. Two parents' grants helped the college launch the Leadership, Innovation and Liberal Arts Center. Other donations have endowed 44 new scholarships, increased international programming for students and helped to renovate the college's science center, according to the college.
"Bryn Mawr is committed to promoting academic excellence, expanding opportunities for women, and preparing students for lives of purposeful action," President Kim Cassidy said in a statement. "This campaign will support us in continuing that mission, which benefits our students and the world they will one day lead."
