\"HauptLEXINGTON, Ky.\u2014In honor of the April 29, 2011 inauguration of R. Owen Williams, Transylvania\u2019s 25th president, an anonymous donor has pledged a matching gift of up to $1 million for Transylvania alumni and friends who make a gift of $10,000 or more by April 30. Contributions that bring a donor\u2019s cumulative giving for the 2010-11 fiscal year to $10,000 or more also count toward the challenge. <\/p>\n

The donor\u2019s gift and funds raised from the challenge will be used to help move Transylvania forward by immediately implementing parts of the 2009-12 Strategic Plan and other initiatives. Williams has stressed five points of concentration: diversity, globalization, sustainability, technology and community outreach. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur anonymous donor is a dear friend of the university,\u201d said Mark Blankenship, acting vice president for development. \u201cHis generosity of matching gifts of $10,000 or more gives people added incentive to help the university they love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blankenship said that donors may choose how their gifts are used, including support for any specific area including the annual fund, which helps the university meet its more urgent needs, or for named scholarships and the general scholarship fund, which allow prospective students with financial need the chance to experience a Transylvania education.<\/p>\n
