ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½

The ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Annual Report celebrates our landmark achievements and the crucial role that donor generosity plays in our success.

The 2023–2024 year proved especially meaningful, starting with the September 1 announcement of our invitation to join the Atlantic Coast Conference, placing us among the nation’s top colleges. This news sparked overwhelming support from our alumni and donors, culminating in record-breaking fundraising for both athletics and academics. As of December 6, 2024, supporters have contributed $1.39 billion to the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Ignited: Boldly Shaping Tomorrow campaign, moving us closer to our $1.5 billion goal.

Additionally, the past year saw the impact of our investments in the tools and resources needed to equip innovators and leaders in a changing world:

• The completion of new and renovated facilities to further graduate and business education, collaboration and research.
• The addition of new athletic facilities and sources of financial support for student-athletes as they compete on the field and in the classroom.
• Expanded educational access through scholarships, mentoring and student support programs.
• Increased funding for faculty and student research that has real-world impact beyond our campus. 

The last twelve months also set the stage for an exciting year ahead. We have officially entered the ACC and this upcoming year will conclude the University’s ten-year strategic plan, which launched our second century with strength, unity and vision. Also this coming year, the University will welcome Jay Hartzell as the 11th president of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½.

Each new year on the Hilltop brings familiar traditions and exciting developments. As you review this report, we hope you feel deep pride in the work we do together to impact our students, employees and the organizations and communities they ultimately affect. On behalf of the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ administration and Board of Trustees, we thank you for your enduring support that is forging a brighter tomorrow for ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, Dallas and beyond.
