Chapman University President Daniele Struppa unveiled plans to become “one of the great universities in the country,” during his annual State of the University address Feb. 10, including a fundraising campaign to increase its endowment, further strengthening its retention rate among undergraduates, the construction of new buildings, and an array of new degrees and programs.
During his hour-long speech, Struppa announced plans to raise $500 million by 2028 in an effort to meet its goal of having a $2 billion endowment by 2037.
