Coppin State University President Anthony L. Jenkins Tuesday announced the university will embark on its largest capital campaign in history, a $25 million initiative to fund student enrollment and achievement, invest in academics and research, support athletics, and foster institutional sustainability.

The “BE MORE” campaign will center on building the capacity and infrastructure of the university, as well as providing investments in the university’s strategic priorities:

Student Achievement and Retention: $7 million in scholarship support, and $3 million to support the Eagle Achievement Center and programmatic development.
Academic Excellence: $5 million to improve the Parlett Moore Library, modernize the performing arts facilities, and academic centers.
Top-Tier Research: $4 million to support Coppin’s progress toward becoming a Research designated university by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.
Elevate Eagle Athletics: $4 million to add athletic scholarships, implement new sports teams, upgrade facilities, and support building the baseball stadium.
Grow our Endowment: $2 million to strengthen the financial and operational sustainability of the university.

To date, $12.3 million has been raised toward the $25 million campaign goal with support from donors and alumni. The campaign is expected to conclude in 2025.
