ROANOKE, Va. (AP) - Randolph College officials say donations have increased 123 percent over last year, when gifts were down as the school admitted men for the first time.
Skip Kughn, vice president for institutional advancement, said Monday that the school received $7.6 million in gifts and bequests through the end of January during the fiscal year that began July 1. That compares to gifts of $3.4 million at the same time last year.
Kughn says donations are the highest the school has had in the past 11 years.
The school, which changed its named from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College when it went coed, received a $1 million bequest from alumna Paula Vogelsang Leonard, who graduated in 1930.
In addition, a member of the board of trustees, Kitty Caldwell, and her husband have pledged $1 million to the school.
