"Extraordinary Opportunities" Campaign Launched in Des Moines

 On Jan 26, 2008, Cornell College officially launched the Extraordinary Opportunities Campaign in Iowa at the Wakonda Club in Des Moines. With Cornell graduates as young as Tia Bougher '05 and as young-at-heart as Ruth Stevens '50 in attendance, President Les Garner introduced Cornell's $92 million campaign to the Des Moines alumni by announcing the campaign had already raised $78.2 million. Alumni enjoyed dinner, drinks, desert and the company of fellow Cornellians, punctuated by announced improvements, additions and upgrades to the campus that will truly create extraordinary opportunities for alumni to come.
