Positioning MBU for the future has defined President Pamela Fox’s 20-year tenure, including such milestones of innovation as founding the Murphy Deming College of Health Sciences, transitioning to a co-ed university, and launching the Palmer College of Professional Studies. Fox continues to propel MBU’s forward motion this year, even as she prepares to retire in June.
The Fox Futures Initiative is a special philanthropic endeavor that both honors her legacy, and fuels the next phase of development now underway at MBU. It’s focused on advancing key academic programs and career-focused interdisciplinary curriculum, as well as strengthening the endowment and funding campus improvements.
To date, the initiative has raised more than $9.1 million in gifts, and an additional $550,000 in verbal commitments. Total commitments now stand at nearly $9.7 million.
