Campaign Priorities
Student Success
Success in business demands the brightest minds from diverse backgrounds with strong academic foundations, an ability to comprehend and communicate information, and a commitment to life-long learning. Now and Ever: The Campaign for Ole Miss will inspire tremendous student success with your support of scholarships, assistantships, fellowships, career services and experiential education programs.
Faculty Support
Dedicated professors define the university’s academic reputation. The influence they wield is indisputable – and invaluable. The scholars who make up our faculty not only share their vast knowledge with our students, they also fuel a love of learning and expand understanding of the world. They ignite passion for public service. In short, they create leaders. An investment in our faculty is an investment in our students, and subsequently in our academic reputation. Supporting our faculty provides the margin of excellence that allows our students to receive an outstanding education.
Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship
The Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship inspires students to foster and enhance business. With campaign investments, we can help create more innovative business ideas through excellent teaching, exceptional mentorship, and world-class research. Your support will help students become successful entrepreneurs who launch innovative companies that provide valuable services, products, and employment.
BASE Initiative
BASE Initiative is the Core for Business Analytics, Sales and Supply Technologies (BASE), and it connects faculty expertise, student learning, and industry interests around the growing wave of analytics. BASE augments capabilities and offerings through traditional coursework, certificate programs, executive education, and other trainings for university students and industry partners. With campaign support, BASE will develop a learning facility that includes a sales laboratory and interview cubicles for role-plays and mock interviews and become a place for students, faculty, alumni and industry to connect and collaborate within the school.
