In November 2004, the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth publicly launched Investing in Excellence: A Campaign for Tuck. Part of the $1.3 billion Campaign for the Dartmouth Experience, the Tuck fundraising effort is the largest in the school's history, and is aimed at providing vital support in four areas that together form Tuck's foundation for excellence: outstanding faculty, exceptional students, a vibrant educational experience, and an optimum environment for learning. "Tuck is at the leading edge of business education, and in order to maintain and expand on our momentum and successfully compete with other top business schools, we must continue to look ahead and invest our resources in the talent of our faculty, the quality of our students, the depth and breadth of our curriculum, and the excellence of our facilities and learning environment," says Tuck's Dean Paul Danos. "Our capital campaign has been structured to help us reach these goals, and has been tremendously successful to date, due to the commitment, loyalty, and extraordinary generosity shown by our alumni and corporate partners." Campaign contributions have been received in a variety of forms and will assist with student scholarships, support research centers and initiatives at Tuck, and help revitalize existing facilities and create a new living and learning complex. More than three dozen major gifts of $500,000 or more have been donated from Tuck alumni, friends, and corporate partners. "Alumni and friends who have been able to attend campaign events have heard me talk about the virtuous circle that exists at Tuck," says Danos. "It is a defining characteristic of our school—where our alumni, who benefited from the generosity of alumni while they were students at Tuck, are now helping today's students become tomorrow's business leaders and future supporters of the school. This is a tremendous circle of support and can be seen perhaps most strikingly in Tuck Annual Giving (TAG), a core element of Tuck's overall campaign. In 2006, the alumni participation rate for TAG was 65.1 percent. This giving rate is the highest by far among business schools." Now in its five-year public phase, the Campaign for Tuck aims to reach its $110 million goal by December 2009.
