A University bond
As parents, when it is time for our sons and daughters to choose a school, we
provide our opinions, counsel, and maybe even some not-so-subtle
suggestions. We do this despite knowing the decision is not ours to make,
and in the end, we do what parents do: we support their decisions.
Thankfully, two of our daughters ultimately chose Rochester..
Rochester is an exceptional school, and it’s only getting better. The Meliora
Challenge: The Campaign for the University of Rochester is a $1.2 billion
fundraising effort that is enhancing every facet of the University. University
of Rochester parents are among those helping to make this happen.
In a Campaign of this magnitude, every gift is significant, regardless of size.
The Meliora Challenge has been incredibly successful because of the
generosity of more than 150,000 alumni, faculty and staff, parents, and
Robin Wentworth P’11, P’16 friends. The Campaign is a University- and community-wide effort, and our
and University Trustee support—and involvement—is essential to its success.
Timothy Wentworth P’11, P’16 This is a unique opportunity for us to invest in the remarkable work being
done here, enhance the value of a University degree, and be a part of an
historic effort that is transforming the University. We encourage you to learn
about the Parents Fund, Parents Council, and the many other ways you can
get involved in and contribute to your child’s education.
We’re proud to share this University bond with you and hope you will join us
in supporting the Campaign.
