Library acquisitions in art history to be plated in memory of Eleanor Collins Wenners, mother of Dr. Michael McIntyre. The intent of the fund is to allow the Library and the Art History Department to be able to purchase exceptional, rare and even older books, which the University may otherwise not be able to afford, to assist them in their teaching and research. This fund was established by Dr. Michael Collins McIntyre and his family.

The Future Fund will provide the Library with flexible and critical resources required to address the immediate academic priorities (areas of greatest need) of today while building a secure foundation for the future. The purpose of the fund is to strengthen and support the academic mission and vision of the University by supporting the academic units, innovation and community. The flexibility of the fund will build on existing efforts; create new opportunities and open doors to innovative academic development as strategically identified by the Dean of the Library. More specifically, the fund will support activities such as faculty research, academic enhancements and development, innovative programming, facilities and infrastructure upgrades and technology, supporting student and faculty experiences gained through competitions, case studies, exchanges, conferences, faculty and staff recruitment, etc. The Future Fund will include undesignated and designated funds (if designated by a donor) that will enable the Dean the opportunity to allocate and assign funding to address strategic priorities and critical needs.

4043 has been closed and combined with 6010. Contributions for book-plating will be gifted to the University monthly with other current restricted gifts and all other donations will be endowed. Name changed from Library Acquisitions (Endowment) to Library Endowment. The plan for the Library Endowment was to invest it and capitalize the earnings so that it could more rapidly rise to $1 million. Once it reaches $1 million, we will seek board approval to spend income. This should add some $50,000 annually to the library’s spending power on acquisitions. We shall keep soliciting contributions to add to the Library Endowment, so that there will be a supplement to the regular acquisitions budget in perpetuity, and the idea is to make this supplement grow each year.

Established in 2018, this fund is a holding account for gifts to capital projects outlined in the President’s fundraising priorities. These projects include Sparling Hall, Library, and Centennial Hall improvements.
