DAYTON, Ohio — Cedarville University recently announced the results of its most comprehensive fundraising campaign, bringing in $205.8 million in gifts to the university from 26,000 donors.
The One Thousand Days Transformed: The Campaign for Cedarville results were announced during the university’s homecoming activities held on Oct. 3 through Oct. 4 by university president Thomas White. The donations ranged from four quarters given by a child to multi-million dollar gifts, eclipsing the original $125 million, and later revised $175 million goal.
Funds will go toward expanding capacity for students with new facilities, maximizing affordability and looking toward the future of the university.
A new degree at the university was also announced for a 126-hour Bachelor of Science degree in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The university already offers a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in innovation and entrepreneurship, a Master of Arts in Innovation (MAI) and is home to the Berry Chair for Entrepreneurship and the Berry Center for Free Enterprise.
“This new undergraduate degree program, pending external approvals, will be offered in partnership with the International Center for Creativity (ICC) in Columbus, Ohio,” the university said in a news release. “The program will equip students with the skills to develop and implement creative business solutions in a rapidly changing marketplace. Students will spend one semester in Columbus as part of their program.”
The university also announced the hiring of five new faculty members for the 2026-2027 academic year and that five current faculty would move to emeritus status.
