of FDU Tomorrow

THE FUND FOR FDU
FDU’s unrestricted annual giving program
provides the University with a solid
foundation of support. The Fund for
FDU impacts all areas, from academic
programs and campus facilities to student
and faculty resources and distance learning
initiatives.
“Contributions to the Fund for FDU
directly impact the welfare of the University
and provide an outstanding education
for students,” said David Knee, BA’88 (M),
co-chair of the Fund for FDU Committee.
FDU NOW will focus on expanding
the University’s annual giving program in
order to have the flexibility to support the
University’s key priorities.
“Increased support for the fund,” said
Co-chair Linda Bowden, MBA’83 (T),
“will bring new scholarships, more support
for faculty and student research, new
academic programs and unique opportunities
for learning around the world.”
“There really is no reason why every
graduate of this University should not
make a gift to the Fund for FDU,” said
Knee. “No matter what the amount, we
want to encourage everyone to give. At the
end of the day, it is a tremendous amount
of support that could have an amazing impact
at the University.”

 ANDREW RESTIVO
A senior from the Township of Washington, N.J., Metropolitan
Campus student Andrew Restivo will graduate in spring
2007 with a degree in construction engineering technology.
He is the president of the Student Government Association
and the former president of the Commuter Council. After
graduation, he plans to work as a construction project
manager in Northern New Jersey and pursue a graduate
degree in either engineering or architecture.
Of the campaign’s focus on the endowment for scholarships
and other initiatives, Restivo said, “I have been fortunate to
receive both academic and need-based scholarships. Scholarships
give opportunities for deserving individuals to continue their education
and excel in life.”

THE RIGHT TIME
“As we look back upon the legacy of this
institution,” said President Adams, “we
witness the work of Peter Sammartino
and his bold adventure; we are inspired
by extraordinary individuals and everyday
heroes who met challenges with conviction
and brought us to this very point.
“The success of FDU NOW will usher
in a new era of distinction. Let today’s
FDU students and those who come here in
the future say of us that we did the right
thing at the right time.”
He concluded, “We are launching FDU
NOW energized by the strength and support
of our community. With the help of
our alumni and friends, we will continue
to fulfill our vision of global education and
propel this University to its rightful place as
a prominent leader in higher education.”Next …
