date, the Cullen College has raised $94,780,629 towards its goal of $140 million – the highest fundraising goal of any academic unit on campus. This funding will directly impact engineering student success, faculty support, new and improved facilities and
enhanced research capabilities.</span></p>

success of the University’s “Here, We Go” campaign centers on the full participation of all faculty and staff within each academic unit.
