Building What’s Next: Next Begins Now
The purpose of the BW Transformation Fund is to build what’s next — a new exciting chapter in BW’s proud history — under President Lee Fisher’s leadership.
The BW Transformation Fund funds the implementation of the new Transformation Action Plan designed to make BW more distinctive, bold, and resilient through in-depth student support, academic transformation, enhanced community partnerships, and financial sustainability. Our promise to our students is that when they graduate, they will be leader-ready, career-ready, and future-ready.
Next Begins Now. And our next steps start with you. We have an $18 million goal for this comprehensive, 2025-26 campaign. Please give, as your gift will:
- Support our students: Funds fuel our scholarships, internship opportunities, technology and facility upgrades, student life and leadership programs.
- Seed our transformation: Initiatives designed not only to stabilize our finances but to reimagine how we deliver on our mission with greater impact and efficiency.
- Fund new efforts: From academic excellence and research innovation to community engagement and student success — ensuring we remain a leader in higher education.
- Retain and reward our dedicated workforce: We have talent that are essential to executing these bold initiatives. Supporting our people is not only the right thing to do — it is the strategic foundation for everything we hope to achieve.
