Hilbert College has received a resounding stamp of approval from The Kresge Foundation with the award of a challenge grant that will fund renovations to Bogel Hall, our original academic building, and go toward the college’s $3.5 million First 50 Campaign. The Kresge Foundation is one of the most prestigious and discerning grant-making institutions in the country. To be awarded a Kresge grant puts us in a very select group of colleges and universities.

With the prestige of receiving a Kresge grant, this is an exceptional opportunity for Hilbert to broaden its base of support and augment the college’s fund-raising efforts. It’s a significant challenge but one that’s achievable with the generosity of the Hilbert community and friends.

The modernization of Bogel Hall is a tremendous boost to enhancing Hilbert’s learning facilities and complements the addition of Paczesny Hall, our new high-tech academic building, and the William E. Swan Auditorium, a state-of-the-art theater and performance venue. These capital improvements are vital to providing a first-rate academic environment for our students and to meet the needs of an increasing enrollment.

Become a part of this opportunity to assist Hilbert in meeting the Kresge challenge and in achieving our First 50 Campaign goal. With your support, we will strengthen Hilbert’s future and the college’s commitment to our students.

Thank you for your great generosity.

Cynthia A. Zane, Ed.D.
President, Hilbert College
