After confidently reaching the impressive goal three years early, Hampton's Board of Trustees have increased the goal to $250 Million. The Campaign seeks to maintain the academic, cultural and historical prominence Hampton has enjoyed for more than a century.

This Campaign for Hampton is designed to preserve and strengthen the overall quality of the university by enhancing the breadth and depth of our academic programs. It is a campaign to preserve a rare national resource, one that is rich in history and destined to play an even greater role in the future development of talented young men and women who will assume responsible leadership roles in their professions and in their communities.

Hampton University stresses the importance of effective teaching and scholarly research, with the education of our students as the focal point of all activities. The University also provides support services that include academic, personal, and career counseling, as well as classes to improve study skills. Hampton University's endowment reinforces the institution's efforts to ensure that no qualified student is turned away because he or she lacks funds.

The new three-story, 155,000 square-foot Student Center is built on the corner of Marshall Avenue and Soldier's Home Road.

"It is really a great day for us," said HU President William R. Harvey at the ground breaking ceremony.

"This project came about by our listening to the students. They wanted to have more things to do on campus, and we provided it for them."
