|
Posted By: Catalina Deossa on April 24, 2024 The Tuskegee University community was elated to announce a remarkable $20 million donation from an anonymous benefactor. This substantial contribution, aimed at bolstering STEM programs and applied research, promised to usher in a new era of academic excellence and innovation. In a statement, Dr. Charlotte P. Morris, then president of Tuskegee University, expressed profound gratitude, emphasizing the transformative impact the gift would have on students, faculty, and campus infrastructure. The donation was not only a testament to the enduring legacy of Tuskegee but also mirrored a previous significant investment made by MacKenzie Scott in July 2020. With this latest contribution matching Scott's generous donation, the university found itself in a position of unprecedented opportunity. Former president Lily D. McNair remarked on the timely nature of the gift, coinciding with the university's upcoming strategic planning efforts. The infusion of funds from both donations positioned Tuskegee University to evolve into a beacon of knowledge, leadership, and service, addressing the challenges of a modern, global society with renewed vigor and purpose.
