We’re transforming Alverno College’s future while meeting Milwaukee’s and the world’s most urgent needs at this unprecedented moment. That means investing in high-demand programs that will drive Alverno’s growth while addressing our region’s greatest workforce challenges. Building up endowed funds so that we can attract and retain top faculty and advance their best and boldest ideas. Growing our scholarship funds so we can make Alverno’s transformative education accessible to all.
Health care
We’re growing our nursing programs, training health educators and kinesiology specialists, and preparing students for advanced study in pharmaceutical science,
medicine, dentistry and physical therapy to meet the massive demand for health care professionals across Wisconsin and beyond.
Mental and behavioral health
We’re addressing the national provider shortage by training psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, music therapists,
psychologists, social workers and case workers ready to tackle the mounting mental and behavioral health crisis.
Academic excellence and women’s leadership
We’re equipping high-achieving women with the resources and opportunities to reach their full potential and become the leaders our world needs.
K-12 urban education
We’re preparing teachers, school psychologists and administrative leaders to alleviate the growing teacher shortage and help students and educators achieve success even
during challenging times.
Adult learning and new initiatives
We’re creating innovative education degrees and credentials for working adults and nontraditional students who will be best served by Alverno’s unique higher
education programs.
This is a five-year, $37 million campaign to transform Alverno College’s future while meeting Milwaukee’s and the world’s most urgent needs at this unprecedented moment.
Our previous campaign focused on much-needed capital improvements to our campus. This campaign builds upon the pillars of the College’s strategic plan, investing in people and programs in areas that are critical for our region: health care; mental and behavioral health; academic excellence and women’s leadership; K-12 urban education; and adult learning and new initiatives. In addition to expanding high-demand programs, this campaign will grow Alverno’s annual fund, endowed funds and scholarship resources.
This comprehensive campaign includes all gifts made between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2024.
