MEDIA, Pa. — Penn State Brandywine welcomed alumni and friends back to campus for the 2022 Brandywine Ball on May 13. The ball raised more than $55,000 for the Brandywine Future Fund’s support of the campus’ Academic Success Center, which is located in the Vairo Library.
“We were thrilled to host the Brandywine Ball in person this year,” said Chancellor Marilyn J. Wells. “It was a lovely and high-energy evening, and our alumni and guests were very happy to come out to support Brandywine.”
During the program, Wells shared the success of the University’s recently concluded campaign, “A Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence,” which exceeded Brandywine’s $6,765,000 goal three months ahead of schedule. During the campaign, Brandywine also secured funding in new areas such as veteran- and ROTC-focused scholarships, leadership development, career services, entrepreneurship, educational equity and food insecurity.
Additionally, Wells announced Penn State Brandywine’s next fundraising effort to benefit the Academic Success Center, including a goal of raising $25,000 that evening for the Brandywine Future Fund, which in turn will support the Academic Success Center.
“A modernized Academic Success Center will be a benefit to our students, faculty, and the entire extended Brandywine community,” Wells explained. “The latest resources and technology will support 21st-century learning for 21st-century careers.”
