Today is a great day and we are so grateful to our partners and benefactors for supporting our shared vision of being Here for Good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Collaborate Campaign was publicly launched in 2015. Its impact is already evident\u2014not just on campus, but in the community as well. Support from more than 25,000 donors has enabled Carleton to develop academic, research, and teaching and learning initiatives that empower students, faculty and staff to develop new approaches to social and economic issues, both locally and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur partners share our belief that education makes our communities more caring, more knowledgeable and more prosperous,\u201d said Jennifer Conley, chief advancement officer. \u201cThat vision, and their generosity, continues to inspire us. We are proud of the campaign\u2019s success and we look forward to more opportunities to serve the greater good of society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Media Contact<br>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steven Reid<br>\nMedia Relations Officer<br>\nCarleton University<br>\n613-520-2600, ext. 8718<br>\n613-265-6613<br>\n<a href=\"mailto:Steven_Reid3@Carleton.ca\">Steven_Reid3@Carleton.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carleton Newsroom: <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/\">https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/<\/a><br>\nFollow us on Twitter:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/Cunewsroom\">www.twitter.com\/Cunewsroom<\/a><br>\n<strong>Need an expert?<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Go to:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.carleton.ca\/newsroom\/experts\">www.carleton.ca\/newsroom\/experts<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carleton University has officially surpassed the $300-million goal in its Collaborate Campaign, the most ambitious fundraising campaign in its history.
