Message from the Campaign Co-Chairs
 
Tammy BormannAs we embark upon the final year of The Talents Entrusted to Our Care Campaign  with $101 million in gifts and pledges, we find ourselves asking how we can inspire you to help us in the final push to achieve the $105 million goal, to bring this campaign home.
 
Jeff PorphyMany of you have supported the campaign priorities in endowment, campus facilities and The Muhlenberg Fund - some more than once. Still others have expressed willingness, but have asked challenging questions about the economy, Muhlenberg's tuition and financial aid program and the steps the College is taking to reduce costs and fight the trend to make a college education more expensive.
 
All of these questions can be summed up in one:
 
Is the value of the Muhlenberg experience
 worth the cost of the Muhlenberg experience?
