Forging the Future: The Campaign for Hood College

Donors have invested in so much more than Hood College. They have invested in people—faculty, staff, and above all, students. When students leave Hood, they are prepared to thrive in burgeoning industries from science and technology to business and healthcare.

Hood provides experiences and connections that allow students to stand out in competitive fields. They pursue careers and purposeful lives, which would not be possible without a Hood education. 
Campaign donors made history with Forging the Future, and generations of Hood students will be afforded opportunities like never before. Conducting cancer research in a federal lab. Uncovering ancient ruins in Turkey. Teaching a child to read at a local preschool. These stories are only a snapshot of a much larger canvas, one of endless possibilities and potential.

“The impact is huge in terms of reducing the financial challenges from our students and removing inequities,” says President Chapdelaine. “When it all comes down to it, campaign donors have helped students for years to come and strengthened the College in innumerable ways. I could not be more grateful.”

The future is calling. Hood College is ready to lead the charge.
