$9.8 million toward a more vibrant and diverse campus community.

The community we have built over the course of Goucher’s history is energetic, enthusiastic, expansive, and strong. We are acting now to make it even more so.

We will continue to cultivate an extraordinary body of students, recruiting young people with the passion, energy, and academic strength necessary not only to participate fully in the life of Goucher College while they are here, but also to use their knowledge to participate fully in the world outside Goucher when they leave.

We will do so with an eye toward ensuring that the campus community in which our students learn reflects more accurately the rich diversity of the global community in which they will soon live. We will step up efforts to ensure that our student body includes the voices of people with a sufficiently wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to enable us to approach our intellectual inquiries from all angles.

Attracting and recruiting these students is only the beginning. We must continue to provide a campus environment that engages, challenges, and energizes them, and also the support systems that an increasingly large and diverse student body demands.
