Dear Scripps Community,
For the last 100 years, Scripps has empowered women to think deeply and lead with purpose. Each generation has strengthened this institution—and now, we have an opportunity to shape the College’s future as we mark this historic centennial milestone.
We are proud to announce Scripps Forward: The Centennial Campaign for Scripps College. Over the next three years, our goal is to surpass $100 million in donor support to secure a future of infinite possibility for the next century. Designed to amplify our collective impact, Scripps Forward is built on three campaign pillars:
- Access: We will remove more financial barriers to a Scripps education to ensure our students thrive and expand the College’s positive influence on the world.
- Innovation: We will invest in new faculty scholarship, mentored undergraduate research, and career pathways to prepare students to lead in a world that doesn’t yet exist.
- Community: We will enhance our vibrant campus and visionary leadership programming to keep belonging at the center of the Scripps experience.
The world needs what Scripps graduates offer more than ever—but we cannot do this work without you. As stewards of the College’s mission, 100 percent of the Board of Trustees have committed a gift to the campaign. We invite you to join us to keep Scripps strong now and for the future. You can directly impact the success of Scripps Forward in multiple ways, including attending events, raising awareness and enthusiasm, and giving to the campaign area for which you are most passionate.
Throughout the campaign, you will receive regular updates on its progress, and we encourage you to visit the Scripps centennial campaign site for inspiring impact stories and how you can be involved as a valuable member of our community.
Thank you for your belief in Scripps College, your partnership, and the generosity you will bring to the Scripps Forward campaign.
With gratitude,
Laura Hockett ’85
Chair of the Board of Trustees
