About the Campaign
The Campaign for McMaster University is inspiring innovation through a $400-million fundraising campaign, the most ambitious in the University's history.
The four-year campaign will bolster the University's reputation for offering innovative teaching and learning experiences and supporting research excellence. It will directly support teaching, learning and research activities in all areas of the University and will boost financial support, through enriched bursaries and scholarships, for many of the University's more than 23,000 full and part-time undergraduate and graduate students.
What drives us?
- Redefined teaching so today's students can learn to solve tomorrow's problems.
- Internationally-renowned research that is making people healthier, our society stronger and safer and our world less mysterious.
- A community that is diverse, inclusive and open to sharing new ideas.
- A university where ingenuity crosses traditional boundaries and reveals new opportunities never imagined.
Campaign priorities are organized into five themes: Fostering Ingenuity & Success; Forging New Frontiers; Liberal Arts for the 21st Century; Tackling the Toughest Challenges; and Emerging Opportunities.
“McMaster is a tremendous place that plays a pivotal role in shaping future generations. It’s a place that celebrates risk-takers, encourages new ideas and prepares young people to take on challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.”
