糖心Vlog传媒LR Sets New Fundraising Record

Initial accounting indicates that last week鈥檚 gala celebrating the 10th Anniversary of 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 Donaghey College of Engineering and Information Technology set a new event fundraising record for 糖心Vlog传媒LR. The event also honored Dr. Mary L. Good, the inaugural dean whose driving vision made the college a reality. Bob Denman, executive director of the Office of Development, said the event raised $238,000. 鈥淚 think we have set a new gold standard for fundraising dinner events at 糖心Vlog传媒LR,鈥� Denman said. 鈥淣ever before has our institution enjoyed the high-profile crowd as was in attendance Thursday night.鈥� The night marked the first time a president of the United States visited the campus. The former president also brought two former cabinet members to the event 鈥� former Secretary of Transportation Rodney Slater and former White House Chief of Staff Thomas 鈥淢ack鈥� McLarty. Many in the crowd of more than 500 had never before visited the campus. The gala was held in the decked-out Derek Fisher Court at the Jack Stephen Center. 鈥淚t was a remarkable page in the history of the state of Arkansas,鈥� said William H. Bowen, former dean of the law school and one-time chief of staff for then-Gov. Bill Clinton. A video presentation that followed the former president鈥檚 talk illustrated some of the cutting edge research, teaching, and outreach going on at EIT 鈥� activities that Clinton said would define Arkansas in the 21st century. 鈥淚 think 50 years from now, when you look back, you may think that the establishment of the College of Engineering and Information Technology 鈥� and the luring of this astonishing woman into this job 鈥� may wind up being the most significant thing this institution has done since its creation,鈥� Clinton said.
