Education: Fund Drive at University

Loyola Marymount University is launching the first major comprehensive fund-raising campaign in its 83-year history to improve and expand its services to students and faculty.

The university has already raised about half of the $128 million needed to increase academic support services, student financial aid and facilities.

Said J. Terrence Lanni, chairman of the fund-raising campaign: “It is something that the university’s alumni and friends say must be done to ensure that the university grows stronger and more visible as an institution of higher learning in this country.”
